Chapter 87 - 085 The Future Big Shot in the Books (1)
Tian Sangsang was utterly exhausted, yet a thorn lodged in her heart kept her from fully drifting into sleep. Her head felt muddled, trapped in a state neither awake nor asleep.
After a few hours, the haze began to lift. It was the time when classes ended at A University.
Sangsang sprang to her feet, and Lin Chong, who just happened to hear the commotion, looked over. Their gazes met briefly before they both turned their attention to the scene outside the university.
From the school poured groups of students, both male and female, all clad in identical uniforms. It was quite an odd sight. Yet for someone from the twenty-first century, it carried an unusual charm. Watching the students, Sangsang felt an inexplicable surge of excitement. In her eyes, everything about them—down to the background—seemed veiled in a layer of gray, old and dim, yet undeniably reflective of that era.
"Excuse me, fellow student. Sorry to bother you, but I’m looking for someone," Sangsang approached a male college student, holding up a photo, and asked cautiously, "Have you seen this person before?"
She hoped that this student might know Youmei.
Suddenly, an attractive girl popped into view, startling the boy. He had been focused on the photo but inexplicably found himself distracted by Sangsang’s clothes, his gaze lingering on her attire.
Lin Chong coughed lightly, seemingly without intention.
Sangsang glanced at him in confusion.
The boy, realizing he’d been caught, hastily averted his eyes and apologized, "Sorry, I haven’t seen her before. Judging by the school uniform, she might be from our university."
Sangsang had no choice but to shift her focus. Spotting a group of female students passing by, she tactfully stopped them and explained her situation. One of them suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, isn’t that Xu Zhenxing?"
