Such a famous and prestigious Professor Su was a professor, a calligraphist, and an admirable person in the minds of Jiang Chengfeng and the entire capital university.

According to Jiang Chengfeng, Professor Su’s calligraphist department only took in Ph.D. students, and he only took in two per year. Those Ph.D. students would only become students and not apprentices. The word “apprentice” sounded very different. It was clear that the professor was going to be her private teacher and give her private lessons.

How impressive would Liu Man have to be to get such a mentor!

He realized Liu Man wasn’t his goddess but an actual god. If she puts her mind to something, she would be able to achieve it and achieve it well.

Many live-streamers attracted audiences by drawing and writing calligraphy, but they were all amateurs and would never be admitted by the professional calligraphy circle. It was rare for people like Liu Man to get admired by a famous calligrapher and made into an apprentice.

He then remembered how Princess Man’s live-stream was populated by cat food buyers and completely exploded with popularity. At first, everyone thought she was just conveniently saying she wanted to sell cat food to everyone. Nobody expected her to travel to Hong Kong during the break and became a dealer.

Jiang Chengfeng thought this girl was magical. Whatever hard things nobody could do seemed so easy if she was the one doing it.

Princess Man was his idol on the internet, and this girl was his virtual idol materialized. This girl, in reality, was too outstanding; she was even better than the virtual Princess Man.

Jiang Chengfeng admired, respected, and was impressed from deep in his heart.

He took the initiative to tour Liu Man around their school. The weather today was good. It was the beginning of April, the breeze was gentle, the grass was growing, and warblers were flying around. It was a good time for an outing.

Liu Man thought, since it was her first time at Capital University, she should probably take advantage of it and take a tour.

Jiang Chengfeng was the kind of straight-A student who didn’t like studying. The only reason why he got such high scores was because of his memorizing skills. His memories were so good that he remembered every tree, path, and building in his school. When he introduced Liu Man to things on the campus, his words flowed out interestingly. He was a better tour guide than most Liu Man had seen.

Jiang Chengfeng was a serious tour guide, and Liu Man was a serious tourist. As he pointed at a Soviet Union-style building, he said, “This is the main building for the literary department. Some liberal arts study clubs are also based here…”

As Jiang Chengfeng was talking, six students walked out of this building as they chatted and laughed. Leading the group was a boy and a girl, and they were both wearing glasses like Jiang Chengfeng. The boy looked mediocre; in fact, he could be counted as ugly. However, he looked like the good kind of ugly and was kind of handsome. Maybe it was because he seemed confident and lively when he chatted with the others.

The girl also looked mediocre. She had a high ponytail, and her large glasses covered up a large part of her face. Her look was sophisticated, and there was a scholarly temperament in her body. At this moment, she was saying something to the boy with a bright smile.

Liu Man stared at the girl for a long time and thought she looked familiar.

The girl noticed her stare and turned her head. As soon as she saw Liu Man, her smile instantly disappeared.

“Weiwei, what’s wrong?” That ugly and handsome boy asked her.

Everyone looked in the direction the girl was facing and saw Liu Man and Jiang Chengfeng.

A boy among them knew Jiang Chengfeng and called out his name, looking surprised, “Jiang Chengfeng, what are you doing here?”

Jiang Chengfeng said honestly, “My friend is here to hang out in our school, and I’m giving her a tour.”

He then lowered his voice to tell Liu Man, “This boy is also a computer science major. His name is Fang Hao.”

Liu Man nodded.

As for who the other people were, Jiang Chengfeng wasn’t sure. He usually loved staying in his dorm. In his spare time, apart from playing games, he only watched live-streams. He rarely participated in group activities. He had joined the ancient Chinese civilization club only because he did not get to choose the public elective course of Professor Su, and there was no alternative. Joining the calligraphy club required calligraphy skills, while the ancient Chinese civilization club did not have any requirements.

But Jiang Chengfeng was a science major, after all. He really could not stand studying ancient Chinese civilization and was not learning anything. He only attended one club activity, so that was the only time he spoke to Professor Su. He followed Professor Su’s Wei Bo but did not expect Professor Su to be so cool with following him back.

After that, Jiang Chengfeng left the ancient Chinese civilization club.

The girl wearing glasses walked to Liu Man. She was one head shorter than Liu Man and had to lift her head to see Liu Man’s face. The girl did not smile but did not drag her face either. She only said indifferently, “Liu Man, long time no see. You don’t seem to remember me anymore?”

This iconic ponytail, these thick lenses, and these not-so-ugly single-edged eyelids…

Liu Man now knew who she was.

She said apologetically, “Your appearance has changed so much, and I didn’t recognize you until just now. Apologies.”

“Now you can recognize me?” The girl, as if trying to verify something, directly stared into Liu Man’s eyes as she asked,

“Who am I?”

“Sun Weiwei.”

Liu Man accurately called out her name and said again, “Sorry.”

Sun Weiwei said with a hard-to-understand smile, “You’ve changed as well.”

The past Liu Man would never look at anyone with such a peaceful and equal expression and would never apologize to her. She was always proud and arrogant. When Sun Weiwei was her friend, she was always being used to do something for Liu Man like a servant. At that time, Sun Weiwei thought this was the, supposedly, friendship.

Until that day, when Sun Weiwei had a way higher score than Liu Man, Liu Man finally couldn’t resist anymore and told her she was ugly. She finally realized she was just an ugly weirdo inside Liu Man’s heart, and Liu Man had never seen her as a friend. What made Sun Weiwei feel even more sorrowful was, even if they stopped being friends anymore, Liu Man still did not apologize to her.

This “sorry” coming from Liu Man right now seemed to be a late apology for what she did years ago.

Sun Weiwei could not understand. They had only stopped being friends for six years, and when they were in high school, they had to see each other every day. Liu Man’s personality was always pompous and self-centered. How did she change so much after she went to college as if she was now a different person?

“You’re not Hanfu Goddess, are you?” That ugly and handsome boy suddenly said, interrupting Sun Weiwei’s thoughts and reminded the others.

“She seems to be the Hanfu Goddess.”

“Her eyes look very familiar.”

“No wonder I feel like she looked very familiar at my first glance.”

…

Jiang Chengfeng’s classmate, who was in the same major as him, Fang Hao, tapped his shoulders, “Jiang Chengfeng, you are very impressive. You are friends with the Hanfu Goddess, and you even asked her to come here. Why didn’t I see you have such potential before?”

Ever since Jiang Chengfeng posted that photo of Liu Man and Li Xiaoru together, he had heard so many similar words like what Fang Hao had just said. He was the only one who knew in his heart whether these people were mocking or complimenting him.

Although Jiang Chengfeng was one of the top ten students in his grade and was a straight-A student, he was “invisible” in his major. He was introverted and antisocial, so he preferred hiding behind his computer. He liked to explore in his virtual world, and the only three friends he had were his three roommates. This was why he had named himself “Otaku Boy.”
