UWP - Chapter 17 - The Unsinkable Campus Belle

"Love is something to seize with one's own hands" was a motto of Lin XiaoYi's, and after finally meeting someone she considered her perfect Prince Charming, she was determined to exhaust every possibility of capturing his heart or regret it for the rest of her life.

However, by the time she arrived at the rooftop, she was astonished to find the fight over, the captured students on the ground, no longer puppets but human again, and in the middle of it all, Bai Zhi standing tall, eyes raised to the heavens.
