Arrested for impersonating a powerful figure's girlfriend, but forced into a formal relationshi

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't called her mother back, she sat up with her messy hair and dialed the number.

"Mom, I just went for a walk in the park and didn't hear the phone ring."

"Yes, Mom is fine. She just ordered some food and supplies for you. They should arrive soon, so she wanted to let you know."

Yunmiao lay back on the sofa and chatted with her mother for a while.

After hanging up the phone, still excited, she opened the "Flooded Jinshan" group and sent a message.

[I'm here! Line up, shower me with flowers, and let the music play!]

The moment the message was sent, the previously quiet group chat became lively.

Erxi: [Have you become sentient from white phosphorus? You're so energetic!]

Da Jiang: [He ran back to Fengcheng a couple of days ago, only to be precisely targeted, arrested on the spot, and deported back to his hideout by Sheng Yinian. Has he gone insane?]

Sanshui: [...]

Sometimes, I really want to leave the group.

Little River: [Sprinkling flowers.gif]

Xiaohe: [Flash.gif]

Xiaohe: [Chin resting on hand, expectant.jpg]

Fortunately, there's still a little cutie.

Sanshui: [@Xiaohe loves you, heart emoji.jpg]

Da Jiang: [By the way, Sanshui, how are things going between you and Sheng Yinian since you came back last time?]

Sanshui: [What progress? Let's see if he remembers who I am when he comes back from Paris in ten days, hahaha!]

At night, Yunmiao dreamed of a stunningly beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes, who walked up to her in high heels and slapped a check across her face.

"Leave him. From today onwards, he is mine."

Yunmiao hurriedly caught the check.

I counted that string of zeros and woke up laughing.

Tsk!

I hope my dream will come true in ten days.

The next day, after finishing her last class, Yunmiao received a message from her tutor asking her to go to his office.

When I got there, I found out that my mentor had a new project, a new Chinese-style mobile game from a game company, and they needed a batch of character concept drafts.

The supervisor is leading the graduate students as the main group, and wants to get a few other students with good professional skills in the department to participate as well.

"I sent your assignment on the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms' from last semester to them. They said the style was very unique and they wanted to see how you draw the figures. Here is the requirements document. Could you first create a concept sketch of the Black Bird?"

From then on, Yunmiao spent almost all of her spare time working on the concept draft of the Black Bird.

These past few days, not only Yunmiao, but everyone has been very busy.

Xia Xixi's favorite male celebrity since high school, Fero Bai, has a new TV series, and she's busy watching it and producing content.

Lin Shuhe's makeup and styling club made a last-minute decision to co-host this session of the "Experience Workshop" with the School of Design, and she was busy with preparations every day.

Jiang Xiao continued to frequent various entertainment venues, but was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Xixi was the first to lose patience.

She suggested that since the "Flooding Jinshan" group had been together for quite some time, it was time for a formal get-together.

The four of them discussed in the group chat that they would get together after the academy's "experience workshop" event tomorrow.

After finalizing the decision, Yunmiao went to take a shower.

After washing up and lying in bed, I saw a missed call from Sheng Yinian.

With the emperor far away and the country out of reach, she was incredibly bold.

Not wanting to return the call, and with her hands tired from drawing these past few days, and too lazy to type, she pressed the talk button and sent a voice message.

After that, I chatted with him perfunctorily for a few more minutes before falling into a deep sleep.

Inside the multi-functional hall on the third floor of the Yanda Activity Center, the monthly "Experience Workshop" of the School of Design was held as scheduled.

This session's theme is "When Design Meets Makeup and Styling," featuring on-site experiences of traditional Chinese hairstyles, creative body painting, and a group of models waiting to be transformed.

Lu Yin stood by the window, holding an event schedule, listening to the external relations department staff report on the overspending of supplies.

"They said the paint used was imported, which is far from what was budgeted..."

"Make it up to them." Lu Yin turned a page of the schedule, his eyes scanning the number of people and groups. "However much is short, it will be covered by the student council funds. I'll talk to the executive committee later."

The president of the makeup and styling company walked over in high heels.

"Chairman Lu, you're here in person to show your support today?"

Lu Yin nodded, his gaze passing over her shoulder and looking towards the door.

Lin Shuhe walked in through the door, and there was no one beside her.

Lu Yin slowly withdrew his gaze.

A series of ringtones sounded, and Lin Shuhe answered the phone.

"Okay, Rainbow Dash, wait for me at the library. I'll come find you after I'm done here."

Lu Yin's eyes flickered.

After the event officially began and he finished his speech on behalf of the student union, he left the scene through a side door.

On the second floor of the library, Yunmiao sat by the window.

The computer screen displayed images of Shang and Zhou bronze artifacts, while he held a thick book in his hand, the page turned to the jade phoenix from the tomb of Fu Hao, which he was examining closely.

As Lu Yin stepped onto the second floor, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the figure by the window.

She wore a creamy white long dress, a low ponytail, and her profile was outlined softly by the halo of light, creating an indescribable beauty as she stood alongside the old sycamore tree outside the window.

Lu Yin stood there for a few seconds, then walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book at random, and quietly walked around to sit down opposite her.

He opened the book and held it upright in front of him, but his gaze went beyond the top edge of the book and landed on the opposite side.

The person opposite me occasionally frowned slightly while staring at the computer screen, occasionally flipped through that thick book, and occasionally raised their hand to tuck a stray hair behind their ear...

The sunlight slowly moved westward, shifting from my shoulder to the table.

"Buzz".

My phone, which was on the table, vibrated.

Yunmiao picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Xia Xixi about the restaurant for tonight's gathering: Yuhexuan.

I had just put down my phone when I looked up and met a pair of eyes.

Lu Yin?

Yunmiao initially wanted to ignore it, but then she remembered that the two of them had spoken in the park last time, so she nodded slightly to him.

Before he could respond, she looked away and picked up her phone to send a message to Lin Shuhe.

What time do you finish?

[It'll be another half hour, I think. Our club president will be driving by Yuhexuan soon and can give us a ride.]

【Then you can take her car there. I'll wait for you at Yuhexuan first.】

After sending the message, Yunmiao packed her things and got up to leave.

Lu Yin stared at the knitted cardigan left on the back of the chair opposite him, without saying a word or moving.

Only after Yunmiao's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs did he get up, walk around the table, pick up his coat, and leave.

After leaving the library, he followed Yunmiao at a distance, gently squeezing the soft coat in his palm.

Throughout the journey, Yunmiao kept thinking about the concept draft that was about to be completed.

"Yunmiao".

Just as I stepped out of the gate of Yanda University, a male voice sounded behind me.

Yunmiao stopped in her tracks and turned around to look.

Not far away, Lu Yin, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, walked towards us, with a light blue jacket draped over his arm.

You left your coat in the library.

"Thank you, Senior Lu."

Yunmiao took the coat and thanked her with a smile.

Lu Yin's fingers curled up involuntarily.

"Put it on quickly."

"it is good."

Yunmiao put on her coat and bent down to button it.

Lu Yin stood beside her and noticed that her hat was turned outwards, so he helped her straighten it.

Noticing his movement, Yunmiao subconsciously took a step to the side.

Lu Yin paused for a moment.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just adjusting your hat."

"Thank you." Yun Miao nodded. "If there's nothing else, Senior Lu, I'll be going now."

"Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Just as Yun Miao was about to refuse, a male voice interrupted.

"Miss Yun."

Yun Miao turned around and was somewhat surprised to see Xu Chuan.

"Assistant Xu, is there something you need?"

Xu Chuan bowed slightly: "President Sheng has come to pick you up."

Yun Miao looked in the direction he indicated, and saw a black Bentley parked on the side of the road.

Through the lowered car window, the man's well-defined profile, illuminated by the dim light, appeared particularly aloof and detached.

Sheng Yunian?

Yunmiao's breath hitched.

Shouldn't he... be in Paris?
