Chapter 17

"... Yan Xuru..." Yang An finally managed to stop coughing. He expressionlessly took a napkin to wipe his mouth, his gaze complicated as he uttered the other's name, but he didn't know what to say. The moment he began speaking, his words got stuck in his throat. "You..."

No, perhaps he should call the Omega Yan Xuru.

"Yang An-gege... I didn't expect you to still remember me..." Yan Xuru's face was pale, with a sharp chin, delicate and petite features, and eyes as clear and round as a deer's. His pitiful appearance gave the impression of being unable to withstand any hardship.

He spoke softly, "I've gone back to using my original name now. You can call me Yan Xuru."

"Alright, Yan Xuru, are you... studying at Imperial University?" Yang An sighed inwardly. How could he not remember the protagonist shou?

He had gone to great lengths to attend Imperial University precisely to avoid the other, but it turned out that after all the twists and turns...

"Yes, is Yang An-gege also here?" Yan Xuru couldn't help but smile, two shallow dimples appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Yang An: "..." Ha, yes, yes, he was here too.

"I remember when we were at the orphanage, the dean asked us to write our university goals on a blank sheet of paper. You wrote Fielt University, and I also..." Yan Xuru lowered his head slightly, clasping his hands together, his little finger lightly hooking, "I didn't expect we'd be so fated to meet again at Imperial University."

Yang An's mouth twitched. It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned this; now that he did, it just felt like a blow to the heart.

At the time, he had planned to apply to Fielt University because, although it wasn't as prestigious as Federation or Imperial University, it had strong faculty and high rankings in various programs. Its location was farther from the capital's core, but not too remote.

Moreover, in the original novel, Fielt University was barely mentioned, almost like a pure land in his mind.

But who would have thought that right after he wrote down his goal on the blank sheet, turned it in, and within minutes, Grandma Ruyao, who was usually kind and gentle, stood on the podium with a stack of white papers, smiling and saying, "Wow! Xiao An and Yuan Yan have the same goal. How lucky! You can work hard together!"

Yang An: "..."

Lucky? No, no, no—Yang An only felt like the sky was falling and his brain was buzzing. He quickly looked up at the Omega sitting next to him.

The delicate and reserved Omega gave him a shy smile and said softly, "We can work hard together. Good luck."

Yang An remained outwardly calm but internally was shaking his head furiously: No, no, no—no working together, no effort, no good luck.

Yan Xuru, oh Yan Xuru, you're supposed to go to Federation University and have an intense love-hate relationship with the protagonist gong. Why would you apply to Fielt University?!

Wasn't there supposed to be a seed of a Federation University dream planted in your heart by the protagonist gong? How did it turn into Fielt University now?

Or could it be... the storyline was still in the early stages, and that seed hadn't been planted yet?

Hmm... Yang An's expression stiffened. That could be possible.

He calmed himself and began analyzing the timeline from the original novel: the protagonist shou had spent some time with the protagonist gong before age ten, then moved away and disappeared from sight. They met again at age fifteen, living next door to each other, interacting coldly...
