Gao Qilan!
That's the name of the hidden gem girl.
Just like An Xin, she's also a freshman majoring in marketing this year.
However, the two of them are not in the same class.
This year, there are three classes for the marketing major at Jinggong Institute.
Gao Qilan is assigned to Class 1, while An Xin is in Class 3.
Gao Qilan's background is quite tragic.
Her hometown is in the mountains of a poor province, and she lost both parents at a young age, leaving her to be raised by her grandmother.
Growing up in poverty has instilled in her a sense of inferiority.
She's always been too shy to look people in the eye, and with her thick bangs and a pair of unattractive black-framed glasses, she's managed to suppress her natural beauty.
As a result, in his previous life, An Xin barely noticed her throughout his four years of university.
However, shortly before graduation, something happened that caught An Xin's attention.
It was a rainy night, and An Xin and his three sons were returning to campus from surfing the internet outside.
As they passed by the playground, An Xin, who had been drinking three bottles of Happy Fat Water due to the fiery sensation in his mouth from gaming, suddenly felt the urge to pee.
Seeing that he was about to burst, he spotted a dim figure squatting in a corner.
In the next moment, the figure turned its head suddenly.
With disheveled hair, the sight nearly scared An Xin out of his wits.
"A ghost!"
He screamed and was about to run away.
But then, he heard the "ghost" in front of him speak.
"I... I'm not a ghost!"
Her voice was soft, like cotton candy.
At the same time, she gently brushed aside the wet hair sticking to her face from the rain, revealing a pretty and delicate little face.
Initially terrified, An Xin's eyes widened in amazement when he saw her face.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
An Xin's three sons, who had been waiting nearby, rushed over when they heard his scream.
"It's nothing, just a little misunderstanding."
An Xin certainly couldn't mention his embarrassing encounter with the ghost in front of his sons.
"Hey! Isn't that Gao from the class next door?"
At this moment, one of An Xin's roommates, also his eldest son Chen Lin, recognized the figure across from them.
"Gao, Gao Qilan, my name is Gao Qilan."
At this point, Gao Qilan had lowered her head again, hiding her face once more.
This made An Xin the only one present who had seen her face clearly.
"Why are you running here alone so late?"
An Xin looked at Gao Qilan and asked, his mind still filled with the stunning image he had just seen.
"It's raining, and I'm afraid the kittens will catch a cold, so I came to check on them."
As Gao Qilan's voice fell, An Xin and his sons noticed the makeshift cat shelter behind her made from a cardboard box.
Beautiful and kind-hearted, An Xin couldn't believe he had never noticed such a girl in the neighboring class before.
After that night, An Xin began to pay attention to this girl.
But unfortunately, it was too late by then.
On the night of the graduation party, Gao Qilan was asked to give a speech as an outstanding graduate.
She looked different from usual.
That day, with the help of her roommate, she changed into a chiffon dress she had never worn before.
Her thick bangs were swept aside, and her hair was styled into gentle waves.
The ugly oversized black-framed glasses were replaced with a pair of gold-rimmed ones.
She wore a pair of silver-white high heels, which made her look elegant and generous.
Her exposed skin was as white as jade.
Especially with her voluptuous and proud figure, she attracted the attention of countless people.
When she stepped onto the stage, she mesmerized the entire world.
At that moment, all the students at Jinggong Institute realized that Gao Qilan, who used to be invisible, was actually the most beautiful girl in the entire institute.
However, after that graduation party, everyone went their separate ways.
Gao Qilan, who had already been admitted to graduate school, went to Shanghai to continue her studies, while An Xin stayed in Jinghai City to start his working life.
The two parallel lines, which had only intersected due to an accident, returned to their own tracks.
When An Xin received news of Gao Qilan again, it was five years later.
By then, short video platforms had become popular.
Gao Qilan transformed into a short video influencer with millions of followers.
However, unlike those flashy and cheap influencers, she attracted followers with her edge.
The videos she made were full of positive energy.
She focused on rural areas, showcasing the proud culinary culture of the Chinese nation, revolving around the four aspects of clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.
Her videos effectively promoted the excellent traditional culture of China to the world.
She even received commendations from relevant authorities for her work.
However, before An Xin's rebirth, he seemed to have heard news of her dispute with the company.
It seemed that she also had some personal issues in her emotional life.
"In this life, I must seize this hidden gem of a girl and not let her slip away from me again."
In this life, An Xin didn't intend to be a good person.
Instead of letting others mistreat this hidden gem of a girl, he might as well do it himself.
"Sure, what's your name? Let me check your information."
The one responsible for receiving Gao Qilan was a cute girl with a hint of baby fat on her face.
"Gao, Gao Qilan." Gao Qilan's voice was still as soft as a little lamb.
"Gao Qilan, Marketing Class 1, Dormitory is Building 3, Room 201. Here, this is your campus card, take it."
The movements of the chubby-faced girl were quite skillful.
"Thank you!" Gao Qilan hurriedly took it.
After Gao Qilan put away her campus card, she glanced at her luggage and said, "You wait here for a moment, I'll have someone take you to the dormitory building."
"No, it's not necessary..."
Gao Qilan instinctively wanted to refuse.
But at that moment, a voice came from behind her.
"I'll take her there!"
It was An Xin.
An Xin, who was already eyeing Gao Qilan, naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to get close to her.
And it was at this moment that the system's voice rang out again.
[Triggered Mission: Successfully escort Gao Qilan to the dormitory. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive one chance for a random draw.]
Can the system issue missions so casually?
An Xin was surprised internally; this was definitely an unexpected joy.
The chubby-faced girl had just missed noticing An Xin, but when she saw him now, her eyes lit up immediately.
So handsome!
He was the most handsome guy she had seen all day.
She could almost call him the campus heartthrob.
Seeing An Xin's gaze on her, her cheeks blushed involuntarily.
Then, a little belatedly, she said, "Sure, sure, then I'll trouble you."
At this moment, she no longer had the decisive demeanor she had just shown.
Seeing her reaction, An Xin couldn't help but smile.
Then, regardless of whether Gao Qilan agreed or not, he bent down to pick up her luggage.
"Let's go!"
Standing in front of Gao Qilan, An Xin's smiling face was as warm as a spring breeze blowing into Gao Qilan's heart.
"Okay, thank you, senior!"
