Gu Jin's eyes snapped open, the hum of chatter filling her ears.
She was sitting in a classroom at Beijing University, the sunlight streaming in through the windows, casting a warm glow on the rows of desks.
She blinked, disoriented. What… what's going on? She looked around, her heart racing.
Students were mingling, laughing, their voices a distant buzz. She didn't remember how she got here.
Before she could gather her thoughts, the door swung open.
The professor stepped in, his presence commanding immediate silence.
Behind him, a man followed—tall, striking, with piercing blue eyes and jet-black hair.
Gu Jin's breath caught in her throat. Long Yifan. Her heart skipped a beat, though she couldn't quite place why.
He was dressed impeccably, his aura radiating confidence and arrogance in equal measure.
The professor cleared his throat.
"Class, today we have a special guest. This is Long Yifan, the winner of the International Combat Competition."
