Imperial Treasure-Chapter 725 - 448: Joy of the Heart_3

Zhuang Ziliu was clearly one of their people.

Zhuang Ziliu, holding Zhuang Ziyi, descended the steps because Zhuang Ziyi was draped in a large black coat that covered the body and face, leaving the others unaware of the situation.

After he descended the stairs, he paused in his step and looked towards Sui Yi.

Seeing the person in a state of unconsciousness, he narrowed his eyes and ultimately said nothing, then turned and left.

Ah Guna followed suit.

And just like that, they walked away, far away...

————————

Three months later.

Winter break was almost here, and that event, which many parties had tried hard to bury, had finally faded as if it had left no trace. The so-called Human Skin, evil spirits, and monsters had all departed from this bustling political center.

Winter outshone the snow, with snowflakes fluttering about, maple leaves tinged with white, and red tiles covered the frost-topped roofs.

Dressed in a one-piece suit, Su Zimu carried a stack of books as she walked past the famous Weiyang Lake, occasionally stepping on snow piles that hadn’t been cleared in time, which crunched underfoot. As she walked, she looked at the half-frozen lake surface where swans and other winter migratory birds had landed.

She couldn’t help but recall the chilling black crows from three months ago.

Somewhat distracted.

"Senior sister, senior sister..."

Su Zimu came back to her senses only to realize she had been standing there quite a while, with people standing in front of her.

Just now, as she had passed a crowded area, many students, whether from her own or other schools, had often glanced at her and asked questions...

However, in this cold season, there were still not many students walking on the road, especially near Weiyang Lake, where the cold was particularly severe.

The ones calling her were Wang Jingqiu and her junior sisters, unlike her, these junior sisters often made noise and liked to wear brightly colored clothes, now their cotton-padded jackets and wool coats were also mostly in bright warm colors.

Unlike her.

Su Zimu smiled slightly towards them.

After all, she was different from these girls.

"Senior sister, were you looking at those swans?"

"Hmm? Yeah..." Su Zimu nodded, Wang Jingqiu lifted her chin and looked at the lake, smiling, "Swans are indeed noble and elegant, and they are beautiful, but it’s so cold on the road, it’s better for senior sister not to stay out too long. Also, our departments of Chinese Language, Foreign Languages, Archaeology, Business Management, and Philosophy have a winter break meeting soon, would you like to walk together?"

Archaeology... Su Zimu’s eyes flickered, and she responded, "Okay."

A group of energetically young people gradually moved away, all young and vivacious, even clad in heavy coats, they appeared charming and pretty, creating the warmest scene in the cold snowy winter.

"Hey, Senior Jiang and the others will be there later."

"Yeah, the president, our male god, will be there too!"

"The four main directors of the student council will be there for sure, along with the up-and-coming Foreign Languages department’s campus belle."

"What campus belle, it’s just a title they concocted themselves..."

Regarding such conversations, Su Zimu was never much interested, but she didn’t dislike them and just listened. Wang Jingqiu and the others also knew that this senior sister truly had an outstanding style, unlike those pretentious white lotuses, so they behaved very naturally, without deliberate restraint.

Of course, they also mentioned something that Su Zimu was concerned about.

"I heard that someone from the Archaeology department has been on leave for three months now and hasn’t returned yet."

Not expelled, nor a sabbatical, just on leave... The upper management at the school kept their lips sealed, but it was officially approved and legitimate skipping of school. As for the reasons, outsiders knew nothing, even the professors didn’t know.

Neither did the people of the Archaeology department.

It was like an unsolved case.

That person had just silently left the school...

After inadvertently stirring Beijing University’s clear pond several times, without causing any ripples, she breezily extricated herself and vanished...

Thus, two months ago, some enthusiasts finally dubbed her the "Enigmatic Beauty."

Archaeology, sophisticated and low-profile, unpredictable, and mysterious was just like a Louvre Phantom.

As for how beautiful she really was... only Miao Qiu’s thin snapshot from afar counted for anything.

So quickly, she was overshadowed by the popular campus beauties and beaux from various departments at Beijing University...

The door of the auditorium was open, thousands had already gathered inside, the vast hall filled with students, and as Su Zimu and her friends walked in, the Chinese Language department girls called out to them.
