"Do you need me to accompany you?"
Knowing that Zhan Yiran still had to return to school, Gu Nanyan asked.
Zhan Yiran shook her head: "I can go by myself."
Gu Nanyan curved her lips in satisfaction at Zhan Yiran's answer. This was how a girl should be.
Daring to love, daring to hate, able to pick up and put down her feelings.
Such a clear blue sky, such a great era, with no shackles constraining women, women should spread their wings and pursue their careers.
To cling to petty love and spend all their energy on men would truly be a waste.
Gu Nanyan stood up and took Zhan Yiran to the dressing room, picking out an outfit for her.
Gu Nanyan had exquisite taste. Although clothing styles differed between ancient and modern times, aesthetic sense was universal.
Based on Zhan Yiran's height, figure, and demeanor,
Gu Nanyan chose a blue shirt, high-waisted jeans, and a knitted off-shoulder top for her. She even did Zhan Yiran's makeup, making her look youthful and vibrant.
"You look so beautiful."
Gu Nanyan admired Zhan Yiran and encouraged her, "Go on, bid farewell to the past, and march towards the future. Do what you want to do, and remember, do it for yourself, not influenced by anyone or anything.
It's your life, you make the calls."
"My life, I make the calls." Zhan Yiran repeated those words, her expression growing more resolute, radiating a dazzling glow.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
With that, Zhan Yiran turned and left.
The Zhan family had already communicated with the school, so Zhan Yiran only needed to go and process her withdrawal.
The counselor was waiting for Zhan Yiran in the office. Seeing a beautiful student walk in, she thought the girl must have entered the wrong room. "Student, who are you looking for?"
"Teacher, I'm Zhan Yiran," the girl smiled.
"Zhan Yiran, you're Zhan Yiran!!!"
The counselor couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed them vigorously, staring at Zhan Yiran for a long time before finally recognizing her.
It wasn't that she couldn't recognize her own student; Zhan Yiran's transformation was simply too drastic.
Previously, she dressed garishly, with multi-colored hair and panda eyes. It was really hard to recognize her.
"Why the sudden withdrawal? Is it because of a relationship issue? Don't let romance ruin your future, please."
The counselor advised. To be fair, she quite liked Zhan Yiran, who, despite her poor grades, was generous enough to fund class activities.
Zhan Yiran wanted to laugh at the counselor's words. What future? The future of failing five subjects in the final exams?
"Teacher, I've thought it through. I'm not cut out for physics, and I want to study something else. It's better to change paths while I'm still young."
"As long as you've given it careful thought." The counselor handed Zhan Yiran the paperwork and wished her well, "I hope you have a bright future ahead."
"Thank you, teacher."
As Zhan Yiran left the office building, she ran into Leng Zihao's roommate, Hu Du.
It took Hu Du a while to recognize Zhan Yiran, exclaiming in surprise: "Zhan Yiran, is that you?"
Hu Du was delighted to unexpectedly meet the wealthy Zhan Yiran.
Coincidentally, he needed a new computer, so he asked Zhan Yiran to buy him one.
"Zhan Yiran, do you want to know about Leng Zihao's news? Just buy me a computer, and I'll tell you."
Zhan Yiran frowned and glanced at Hu Du, finding this guy incredibly low. Without any courtesy, she said, "Are you so thick-skinned that even a mosquito bite can't get through? How dare you ask me to buy you a computer? Get lost!"
Hu Du didn't expect Zhan Yiran to be so rude. His face turned pale with anger as he spat, "You'll regret this!"
He then bowed his head and sent a message to Leng Zihao in the dorm group chat: "Zihao, I saw Zhan Yiran. She's changed her appearance and will definitely come and bother you. Do me a favor and ignore her. She even scolded me just now, such poor manners."
Zhan Yiran hadn't been to school for over half a month, so hearing about her out of the blue stunned Leng Zihao. After a moment, he replied: "I'll make her apologize to you."
Hu Du: "Make her bleed big time, have her buy me an Apple computer as an apology."
Leng Zihao: "Sure, she's rich anyway."
Seeing Leng Zihao's reply, Hu Du glanced at Zhan Yiran smugly, planning to make her apologize to him in tears later.
The guys in Leng Zihao's dorm were excited to hear that Zhan Yiran had come to school.
The dorm leader asserted confidently, "She'll definitely come to the boys' dorm to find Zihao."
The second-in-command chimed in, "No need to wait, she's probably on her way here right now."
"Haha, the female hanger-on!"
Zhan Yiran returned to the girls' dorm to pack her belongings.
Her roommates were shocked to hear she was withdrawing.
"Why are you withdrawing? Is it because of Leng Zihao and Ren Xinlian? Ren Xinlian is just a hypocrite. She didn't have the skills to win the innovation contest, yet she had the nerve to report Leng Zihao. So shameless!
Yiran, don't get upset with them. Leng Zihao will eventually see how good you've been to him."
The dorm mates were really going to miss Zhan Yiran. Although she dressed like a punk and had a temper, she was easy to get along with and generous, often gifting them cosmetics.
Zhan Yiran shook her head: "It's not because of them, it's my own reason."
She didn't have many belongings, so it didn't take long to pack. The driver came to help carry her things. After a brief farewell, Zhan Yiran left.
News of Zhan Yiran's withdrawal quickly spread to the class WeChat group from the girls' dorm.
Leng Zihao's roommates saw the message and couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn, Leng Zihao, quick, check the class group! Zhan Yiran is withdrawing, and she's packing up her stuff in the girls' dorm right now."
"No, someone's live streaming her route. She's already left the girls' dorm."
The second roommate sat up, "Is she heading to the boys' dorm?"
The leader nodded: "Of course she is. Leng Zihao, Zhan Yiran is withdrawing, what are you going to do about it?"
"What do you mean what am I going to do? If she wants to withdraw, let her. It has nothing to do with me."
Leng Zihao's expression darkened. Hmph, this Zhan Yiran was really getting out of hand, trying to threaten him with withdrawal?
Dream on! He would never fall for such tricks!
If Zhan Yiran didn't apologize to Xinlian, he would never forgive her.
In the class group, the students, always eager for drama, spontaneously began reporting Zhan Yiran's movements:
"Zhan Yiran is in the car now."
"The car drove off, it seems like it went towards the sports field. It's a Porsche, I heard it costs over a million, crazy money."
"It looks like it's going towards the boys' dorm area..."
Upon seeing this line, Leng Zihao scoffed inwardly, knowing that Zhan Yiran would definitely come begging him.
As he was feeling smug, he then saw:
"No, it's not going to the boys' dorms, it's heading towards the West Gate. The car is leaving campus."
What?!
Leng Zihao stood up in shock.
