Cracking the Code

He Zhichu drove Gu Nianzhi over to the Huaxia Student Association's mixer party in his Mercedes-Benz.

He parked the car in front of the building and, to Gu Nianzhi's complete surprise and dismay, followed her inside.

Gu Nianzhi had tried several times to get him to leave, but he had waved aside her arguments easily with sarcastic retorts.

Gu Nianzhi gave up: she would just have to ignore him and pretend that he wasn't there. She walked into the building and began to mingle with the students inside.

She was young and extremely beautiful. All eyes were on her as soon as she walked in. What made her stand out further was how not only was she a good conversationalist, but also was cheerful and easygoing. Her fellow students quickly warmed up to her.
