Chapter 3: First Encounter初相（1 / 1）

However, the re difficult it was for to enter, the re difficult it was for others as well. Those who de it were enerally the social elites or fropowerful, wealthy falies.

但是我越难进入这里学习，就说明其他的人也越难进，最后能进来的基本都是社会精英，即使不是精英人士，也是家族背景深厚，富可敌国之辈。

This was where I first t Zhan Guoyin.

这也是我初次遇到张国英的地方。

Upon our first encounter, I was struck by his handso face.

At the ti, I was disuised as a boy to pursue studies, and he was a handso, eleant youn n.

初见时，惊鸿一面。

那时的我女扮男装来求学，遇上了那个翩翩公子颜如玉的他。

一面惊鸿，一见倾城。

Growin up iersed in politics, I had a keen nd for the chaos of the tis. The extraordinary Zhan Guoyin could possibly beco the future crown prince.

从小耳濡目染的我有着政治头脑，乱世中，群雄四起。而这个精彩绝伦的他，很可能就是未来太子。

When I t hi his father had already assed litary power and was beinnin to ke a na for hielf.

因为在我认识他的时候，他的父亲已经是集兵权于一身，开始有了崭露头角之势。

So, for the sake of faly and to secure a future for faly and self, I had to approach hiand assu the title of his beloved cunninly.

所以为了自己的家族，为了给家族谋后路，也为给自己谋后路。我只有处心积虑地接近他，并且冠上了自己是他的心上人的头衔。

"Zhan Guoyin, I like you!"

“张国英，我喜欢你！”

"Zhan Guoyin, I love you!"

“张国英，我爱你！”

"Zhan Guoyin, I adestined to rry you!"

“张国英，我嫁定你了！”

"Zhan Guoyin, in this lifeti, I will rry no one but you!"

“张国英，我这辈子非你不嫁！”

……

I pursued hi ran after hi shouted to hi declared to hi and swore… I earked on the lon journey of winnin his heart.

我向他追着，向他跑着，向他喊着，向他宣告着，向他起誓……开始了漫漫追夫之路。

Back then, he was solely focused on his studies, harborin aitions for the world, and had no interest in rontic affairs. He disrearded antics, paid no attention to the and even inored coletely.

那时候的他，一心专于学业，心怀天下，无心儿女情长。对于我的胡闹他都置之不理，不问不管，甚至无视。

And so, despite the widespread rurs about us, everyone in the Ierial Acade knew that a irl nad Cui Yu was in love with a youn n nad Zhan Guoyin, and she pursued hievery day, stickin to hiwith unrequited, passionate love.

所以任她和他的传言传得人尽皆知，整个京师学堂的所有人都知道有一个叫做崔玉的姑娘爱上了一个叫张国英的男子，并且天天追着该男子，天天粘着该男子，一份单相思，一份单方面轰轰烈烈的感情。

The dauhter of the noble Cui faly, Cui Yu, ained a reputation as a notorious, lovesick fool. Everyone knew she was fascinated with Zhan Guoyin, but he never responded.

名门之女崔家的千金小姐崔玉的名声成了有名的大花痴，所有的人都知道她爱上了张国英，可是张国英却并没有给她任何回复。

Blessed with exceptional intellience, she knew well that her role as his beloved was nothin re than a charade, just as her love for hiwas fabricated.

天资聪颖的她清楚自己这个心上人是假的，可是自己爱上他也是假的。

Her ultite oal was to secure a potential backup plan for the future while ensurin her presence in his life, kin it iossible for hito foret her.

不过是为自己谋取一条很可能以后会用到的后路而已，同时也是想在他面前刷存在感，让他这辈子记住她，并且永远也无法忘记她。

If she couldn''''t leave a ood iression on hi a bad one would do just as well, as lon as he reered her. Only then could their story develop into sothin re, and only then could she use their connection.

如果自己不能在他心目中留下好印象，那么坏的印象也可以呀，只有能让对方能记住她，只有记住了她未来才有可能会发展成为其他的故事，才有可能为自己所用。
