Tian Wen shivered uncontrollably at the sight before him, a sense of utter despair flooding his heart.

He never would have imagined Ma Qingqing was attached to someone, and not just anyone, but someone she was willingly throwing herself into the arms of. The way she called out 'Brother' was so affectionate, so heartbreakingly tender!

Moreover, the man appeared stronger and more handsome than he did.

And there she was, wrapped in the man's arms, as he whispered something in her ear.

For the moment, President Tian felt incredibly awkward. Everyone present—both the boys and the girls—knew him and knew he had been pursuing Ma Qingqing. No one else in the whole school dared to chase after her.

But who on earth was this suddenly appeared handsome man? Who the hell was he?

Tian Wen was furious, his heart refusing to accept this!

Of course, the milk tea he'd dropped on the ground, its contents now spilled everywhere, went unnoticed by everyone.

All eyes were on Liu Zhizhong and Ma Qingqing, with murmurs spreading softly amongst the crowd, speculating all kinds of things.

"My god, does the school beauty have someone?"

"Looks like it, more or less..."

"What about President Tian? He's been so infatuated..."

"..."

Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong was simply trying to console Ma Qingqing, urging her not to cry and assuring her that everything would pass.

Eventually, Liu Zhizhong's chest was soaked with Ma Qingqing's hot tears, and the firm resilience of her breasts was almost too much for him to bear!

He could only whisper in a low voice, "Let's go, everyone's watching. Brother Zhizhong will take you out to talk. Your dad wants to see you. After 12 o'clock, he'll be taken to the detention center, sigh..."

Ma Qingqing nodded, her cheeks flushed as she stepped out of Brother Zhizhong's broad embrace, wiped away her tears, and took his hand to walk outside.

This scene struck at everyone's hearts once more.

Tian Wen felt like he was about to explode!

Who the hell was this guy that Ma Qingqing was being so forward with? I'll kill him!

Love truly made these young students impulsive.

Tian Wen felt murderous, but it was just a fleeting thought.

Watching Liu Zhizhong and Ma Qingqing leave the library without looking back, and with all eyes on him, Tian Wen felt unbearably stifled.

The Student Council President's face was swept onto the floor! He had been chasing Ma Qingqing for over a year without even holding her hand, and now she was so intimate with this man. It was infuriating!

At that moment, Tian Wen, without a roar, his handsome face darkening, grabbed his handbag and left the scene, following them.

On the other hand, Liu Zhizhong was oblivious to Tian Wen and the like, focusing on the pressing matters at hand.

Ma Xudong had left him feeling somewhat guilty; he had to wrap up the affairs for his former leader properly.

Having taken Ma Qingqing with him, Liu Zhizhong quickly got back into the car, ushered her into the passenger seat, and drove away from the school.

It was then that Ma Qingqing began to sob and lament.

"Brother Zhizhong, what's so great about being an official, huh? What's good about it?"

"Look at my dad, look at what's become of him now. Hasn't he just harmed people?"

"He's left me homeless, homeless. I've moved to live at the school..."

"..."

Liu Zhizhong's heart was twisted in pain!

This delicate girl was so heartbroken, it made him want to hold her close and comfort her.

Still, Liu Zhizhong kept on driving, passing her tissues to wipe away her tears as he said, "Qingqing, don't cry. There's always a solution. Dry your tears and face life head-on."

"Your dad is probably facing a long sentence. He's told me a lot. He has entrusted you to me, urging me to take good care of you, and I'm more than willing to do so. Now, it's up to you to decide if you're willing to accept my care."

"Tell Brother Zhizhong, are you willing to accept my care?"

Ma Qingqing turned to look at Liu Zhizhong's handsome profile and nodded, "Really? Did he truly entrust me to you? Are you really willing to take care of me?"

Liu Zhizhong smiled generously, his expression warm and comforting, "Silly girl, do you think I'd joke with you at a time like this?"

"Mm, I understand now. Brother Zhizhong is a good man. With my father in this condition, you still don't despise him, aren't worried about delaying your own political future, and are willing to take care of his daughter. You're truly a good person!"

"Don't say that. You've had it tough too, and I should take on such a responsibility. You're still young, with a bright future ahead. As a brother, it's my duty. Your father has been good to me, taught me a lot, and I need to be grateful."

Ma Qingqing nodded, deeply moved, at a loss for words.

Liu Zhizhong spoke again, "Right, does your major have a branch in Yangzhou?"

"The Yangzhou branch?" Ma Qingqing paused, then nodded, "Yes, it does!"

"Well, I work in Yangzhou, and you're studying in Provincial City, which isn't convenient for me to take care of you. Being in Provincial City, you're all alone, and being a girl, it's not advantageous to have so many unfavorable factors around you. So, I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to transfer to the Yangzhou branch. That would be more convenient for everyone. Besides, Yangzhou isn't as flashy as Provincial City. It's a third-tier city with clear mountains and rivers, and your branch is also a key prestigious school, where you can study better and improve your professional knowledge and skills. What do you think?"

"That... I..." Ma Qingqing listened, stunned into silence, her fingers nervously fidgeting with the edge of her pretty skirt, seemingly torn.

Seeing her reaction, Liu Zhizhong's heart inexplicably sank.

It looked like this 19-year-old campus beauty was somewhat reluctant to leave her school life in Provincial City, wasn't she?

It appeared he'd need to do some convincing...
