Lu Guixin only saw Tan Ying’s message when she returned to class. She pressed on the keys and replied, [Alright, I’ll apply for leave in advance.]

Tian Lu was back from refilling her water bottle. She sighed, “Tan Ying is such a scary man. No wonder everyone who dated him before is dead set on him.”

He’s good at his studies and is really hot. He was also really soft. If he weren’t such a f*ckboy, he would be a perfect partner.

She learned something new.

Lu Guixin put her phone away and stared longingly at her. “What? Have you fallen for him?”

“No!” Tian Lu crossed her arms immediately. “I’m just making a bystander comment.”

She liked men who read and memorized the book of men’s virtues and morals. F*ckboys like that… Not a chance! 

“Oh…” Lu Guixin looked at her teasingly. “Is that so?”

“Yes!” Tian Lu answered firmly.

…

The first period was mathematics class.

The teacher announced the results of the previous examination. They thought that she would scold all of them for making mistakes in easy questions just like all of the other teachers with classes in the morning, but she seemed to be in a good mood.

Her voice was transmitted through the microphone.

“I would first like to commend someone and that is Lu Guixin. Her results for this month has increased by almost 40 marks from the previous month. She has exceeded 100. She is the only person in class who did the second last difficult question right.”

There were shocked expressions from the class.

In their class, the area in the answer sheet left for the second last question was basically all blank.

Did Lu Guixin manage to solve it?

Tian Lu looked at her in disbelief. “Damn sis, you made it!”

The teacher looked at Lu Guixin. “Although the answer was right, the method was too complex and long-winded. Listen to my explanation later on.”

Lu Guixin was not moved by the positive or negative comments. She nodded humbly. “Yes, teacher.”

Her results had always been overlooked in class. It would never receive any attention.

Everyone in the class was rather shocked when she was suddenly praised.

…

At 10 pm, the dismissal bell for night study rang.

Tian Lu stretched. “Sis, I’m hungry again. Let’s go for supper. What do you think of the BBQ skewers at East Gate of our school? Then we can get some iced cola too.”

Lu Guixin nodded warmly. “Okay.”

After packing up, they followed the army of students who had just ended night study and rushed out of the school gates.

The two of them were almost running their way there, but when they arrived at the East Gate, the front of every supper stand was packed with people.

Some of them ate by the small tables, while some brought them back to their dormitories.

When Tian Lu’s eyes brushed past a small table, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she pulled Lu Guixin over. “Brother, you’re here too.”

Tian Rong looked up. When he saw Tian Lu and Lu Guixin, he scanned his eyes over Zhou Fu subconsciously.

The other boys waved at the two girls.

Tian Lu looked at them and joked, “What a coincidence. I’ve barely seen you this whole semester, but today, we met each other twice.”

Tian Rong raised his brows and got up. “Have the skewers on our table. What else would you like? I’ll order them for the both of you.”

“Okay.” Tian Lu named a list of skewers.

Tian Rong took his phone with him to the queue.

Tian Lu carried two plastic stools from the empty table beside them. Only one could fit beside Tian Rong, but there was also room beside Zhou Fu.

She hesitated for a while before saying carefully, “God Fu, can you please move over a little?”

Zhou Fu was holding onto chopsticks with his slender and well-defined fingers and eating stir-fried noodles.

When he heard this, he looked up with his black eyes and glanced at Lu Guixin. He did not move. His eyes were cold and distant.

Lu Guixin’s gaze flickered.

They spoke a lot this morning, but now, he would not even say a single word to her.

Was he mad because of what happened in the afternoon?

Or is there another reason?

There were a few seconds of silence, and the atmosphere was kinda awkward.

The other boys exchanged glances, and being very situationally aware, they all moved their chairs closer to the other side of Zhou Fu, making room for the two girls.

In the end, the two chairs were placed between Tian Rong and Zhou Fu.

Tian Rong wiped the chairs clean with tissue paper. She did not have the guts to sit beside Zhou Fu, so she quickly took the seat beside Tian Rong.

Lu Guixin still maintained her warm and soft composure. She sat beside Zhou Fu naturally.

A familiar minty scent that was mixed with a faint cigarette smell entered as she took a breath.

The table was small, and the two of them were very close to each other.

Lu Guixin felt very cramped in her seat.

Zhou Fu did not sit properly. He widened his long legs, and they were always sticking to hers.

Lu Guixin could slightly sense some warmth that did not belong to her.

She moved her chair a little and purposely brushed her leg against him. When she sensed that he had clearly stiffened, she pretended to casually move away and said softly. “Thank you, Senior.”

“Thank me for what? I’m not the one who made space for you.” Zhou Fu tilted his head and looked cold.

Lu Guixin looked sideways. Her eyes were full of naivety and innocence. “I was saying thanks to the senior who made space for me.”

Zhou Fu remained silent.

The boys couldn’t help but laugh and answer, “No problem, Junior.”

Zhou Fu’s eyes swept over, and the smiles on their faces vanished.

The big boys changed the conversation topic and called out to each other. “Hurry up and eat, it’s getting cold.”

There was a calm smile in Lu Guixin’s eyes. She looked at Zhou Fu and answered with a serious look. “But I also have to thank you, Senior Zhou Fu, for helping me to clear things out on the forum and for speaking up for me.”

She addressed him by name as she thanked him, and her voice was soft. She sounded really cute, and when she smiled at him, her eyes curled up.

Her eyes were slightly shiny, and they glowed clear and bright under the street lamps. They were really alluring.

Zhou Fu did not say anything. He looked away and curled up his fingers slightly.

Tian Rong returned very quickly and even brought two bottles of cola for Lu Guixin and Tian Lu. With him around, they all warmed up gradually.

Tian Lu told them about Lu Guixin’s improvement in Mathematics.

They all congratulated Lu Guixin first, then Tian Rong said smilingly. “Isn’t that such a coincidence? Brother Fu and I were the ones who watched over the Math paper.”

Lu Guixin nodded. “Yeah, Senior Zhou Fu woke me up, and that was why I had time to answer a few more questions.”

When Tian Rong heard this, he asked with a confused look. “I don’t think Math questions aren’t something you can solve just because you have extra time? What’s more, it was the second last question.”

Lu Guixin said softly. “I made random guesses. My teacher said that my method was very complicated. I also changed my answers for three MCQ and one fill-in-the-blanks correctly.”

The others widened their eyes in shock.

“Well, then you are really lucky.” Tian Rong sighed. “I never thought that Brother Fu’s magnetic field changes luck too.”

Another boy laughed. “It’s all thanks to Brother Fu for waking up this Junior.”

Tian Rong scoffed. “You didn’t see how Brother Fu woke her up. He kicked Junior’s desk and she woke up from the shock. Her soul flew out of her body.”

The others could totally imagine it. The corner of their lips twitched.

Zhou Fu remained silent.

“I don’t know how to thank you, Senior.” Lu Guixin looked at Zhou Fu and pondered. “I’ll bring you breakfast tomorrow.”

Zhou Fu looked down and ate his noodles. He answered with a cold tone, “No need.”

“Do you not eat breakfast, Senior?” Lu Guixin asked and said casually. “Not having breakfast is not good for your tummy.”

Tian Rong interrupted. “Who says that Brother Fu doesn’t eat breakfast? This morning, he traveled quite a distance just to get breakfast.”

Zhou Fu remained silent.

Lu Guixin gave a funny tone. “Ohhhh. What do you eat for breakfast, Senior? I’ll get you the same thing tomorrow.”

Zhou Fu slanted his eyes to look at her. His eyes were deep.

Tian Rong answered. “Soy milk, crepe.”

When Tian Lu heard this, her ‘PTSD’ triggered a response. “Is the one at the Food Street?:

Tian Rong nodded.

This made Tian Lu recall the incident of her breakfast being snatched away by a dog, and she ranted to them. “Speaking of this makes me so mad. This morning, Guixin woke up really early to get us both breakfast. But on the way back, a really fierce dog snatched it away!”

Zhou Fu remained silent.

He looked into Lu Guixin’s eyes, where there were traces of laughter, and he tightened his grip around the chopsticks.

Good girl?

“Luckily, the dog didn’t bite Guixin and he only wanted to eat.” Tian Lu said angrily.

Zhou Fu remained silent.

Lu Guixin spoke softly, “Then I will bring you soy milk and crepe tomorrow, Senior. I will also get Tian Lu one set.”

“Oh?” Tian Lu was moved. “Would it be too troublesome for you, Sis? Why don’t you wake me up tomorrow, I’ll go with you.”

Lu Guixin answered, “Nah, it’s fine. Have more sleep. I don’t stay up at night to study.”

The others smirked and gave Lu Guixin another label deep down.

The School Beauty does not like to study.

Tian Lu handed Lu Guixin a skewer stick with gratitude. “Sis, I have no words. I will present this skewer to you!”

Lu Guixin took it from him smilingly.

After having supper, the other boys wanted to buy things from the convenience store. Tian Lu tagged along to refill on some snacks and yogurt.

Lu Guixin and Zhou Fu waited for them by the roadside.

“Lu Guixin.” Zhou Fu spoke suddenly. He seemed to be speaking through gritted teeth.

The girl turned to look at him. Her eyes curled as she answered softly, “Yes, debt collector… Senior.”

Zhou Fu gazed into her clear eyes and was silent for a second. “I’ll go and buy breakfast tomorrow. Coffee or soy milk?”

Lu Guixin smiled. “Do you want to buy breakfast for me because you don’t want me to travel far? Are you afraid that it will be too tough for me? Are you still not going to admit that you like me?”

Zhou Fu has heard similar words to hers far too often, and he was already used to them.

Zhou Fu glared at her with cold and calm eyes. “I’m buying it for a dog.”

“Woof.” Lu Guixin put down her dignity and barked.

Zhou Fu remained silent.

So Lu Guixin laughed. When she did, her eyes, which were already beautiful, were really alluring.

Zhou Fu’s heart palpitated wildly, but his expression remained unchanged. He looked up and straight ahead. “Come over to the greenery area tomorrow morning to collect them.”

“Alrighty.” Lu Guixin took out a toffee candy from her pocket. “Here, Senior.”

Zhou Fu stared at her fair and tender palm for a long while before raising his hand to take it. He did not eat it but stuffed it into the pocket of his school uniform.

Xia Cheng had just finished buying food with two of her female besties. When she turned her head and saw this scene, the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly froze, and her eyes were gloomy and cold.

The short-haired girl looked at Xia Cheng’s expression and said, “As Tian Rong and Tian Lu are siblings, Lu Guixin and Zhou Fu are very close now.”

Anyone who knew them knew that Xia Cheng fancied Zhou Fu.

The ponytail girl nodded and comforted Xia Cheng, “Lu Guixin is in Year One while Zhou Fu is in Year Three. Both of you are going to college together soon, so it is impossible for anything to come out of him and Lu Guixin.”

Xia Cheng looked away and down. Her eyes were gloomy, and jealousy filled up in her chest.

…

After they were done shopping, Lu Guixin and Tian Lu parted ways with the boys, and they returned to the girls’ dormitory.

After Lu Guixin showered, she sat in front of the computer.

Her beautiful and thin white fingers tapped the keyboard so quickly that it was messing up with her eyes. Complex green codes on the screen flashed violently in her eyes, and they glowed with a dark and cold light.

It was as if she was attacking some system.

About ten minutes later.

A familiar male voice was heard on the earphone. “Stop fighting, the both of you. Aren’t you tired? Have a break.”

“Alright.” Lu Guixin agreed in a rather good mood.

The man over there was stunned for a moment. In the past, when this big boss could not attack her opponent’s system, she would definitely get angry and cut off the voice chat immediately.

Why is it so easy to talk to her today? 

Lu Guixin turned on her phone and looked at the name of her pinned chat. “Debt collector.” She smirked.

How hard does he think it is to just look at her straight in the eye?

But she was still very interested in the continuation of the game.

“Enough, I’m going to bed.” Lu Guixin said. She disconnected before waiting for a response.

…

On the other side.

Zhou Fu looked at the confusing pictures on the computer screen. He picked up the water glass and took a sip.

There was a helpless voice in the earphones. “This big boss is definitely a woman! She’s so rebellious for disappearing just like that!”

Inside the organization, only Zhou Fu’s information was the most mysterious, and even the wayward boss couldn’t figure out who he was.

The wayward boss really enjoyed thrilling and challenging games. That is why the two of them would occasionally challenge each other face to face.

Anyway, none of them could beat the other.

Zhou Fu had no interest in the person who liked exciting challenges. He completely regarded it as a game of high difficulty level that had not been able to break through even after playing for a long time. He said calmly. “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

He did not wait for a response from the other end either, and he disconnected.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

Zhou Fu picked it up.

Pinned conversation on WeChat.

Debtor: Good night, Senior.

In the next second, a sticker was sent over. [boyfriend goodnight jpg]

But it was recalled instantly.

Debtor: Sent wrongly.

Zhou Fu remained silent.

Debtor: Senior, I’m having some trouble falling asleep.

Debtor: The thought of me having a one million debt makes me so stressed. What if I can’t pay you back?

Debtor: Why won’t you let me pay you with my body? You see, I’m so pretty. If you look at me more often every day, you will surely be in a better mood.

Debtor: Senior, aren’t you afraid that I might escape? You would lose me and the money.

Debtor: My dad called me today. He said that grades aren’t that important, but if I have bad grades, you will despise me for having a useless brain.

Debtor: Honestly, I think my brain is fine. You see, I managed to get into such a prestigious high school like Ming City High.

Zhou Fu remained silent.

Debtor: Have you fallen asleep, Senior?

Zhou Fu remained silent.

The other person seemed to be waiting for a while, but she did not get a reply.

Debtor: Alright, then good night, Senior.

His WeChat finally stayed silent.

Zhou Fu swiped around his screen and looked at Lu Guixin’s messages again.

After a while, he put it down and turned on his laptop to edit a word document. His slender, well-defined fingers tapped away on the keyboard.

Key knowledge points for Year One Mathematics showed up on the screen. Along with them, there were typical questions that usually appeared in exams.

…

On the other side.

Lu Guixin stared at the silent WeChat and raised a brow. “Well, he has better tolerance than my dad’s tortoise.”

She put her phone away and logged into the internal server of Jijing Island.

She looked at several academic papers which were recently published.

…

The next day.

When Lu Guixin arrived at the greenery area, she could already see Zhou Fu from afar.

He was leaning against the wall in a casual state, and his beautiful eyes were looking down. It seemed like he was on the line with someone.

He had three sets of breakfast in hand and also a dark opaque file. It looked pretty thick.

Suddenly, he looked up with his dark eyes and straight at her.

Lu Guixin walked towards him.

Zhou Fu lowered his voice and said into the phone, “Gotta go.”

Lu Guixin stood in front of him and looked up at him.

Zhou Fu looked down and saw her slightly reddened eyes.

“Why didn’t you reply to my messages? You may have fallen asleep last night, but were you unable to see it in the morning?” Lu Guixin interrogated him. Her tone was very soft, and it did not sound like she was mad. Instead, it sounded like she was flirting.

Zhou Fu looked at her face for a few seconds before speaking. “I didn’t feel like responding. Your brain doesn’t even have enough capacity to study but when it comes to imagining things, you’re really impressive.”

Lu Guixin kept quiet.

He was so honest that all of a sudden, she did not know what to reply.

Zhou Fu handed her the breakfast sets, which belonged to Tian Lu and her, as well as the thick dark file.

“What’s this?” Lu Guixin took the file first and opened it. There was a thick stack of A4-sized papers in it.”

She took it out and looked at it. They were summaries of key learning points for all of the Science and Mathematics subjects in Year One.

Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

It was obvious that he had summarized them on his own. Also, they were all written in a way that was simple and easily understandable.

The paper was still warm from the printer.

Lu Guixin flipped through it and leaned towards him suddenly. She looked up and stared into his eyes. There were red veins in his eyes.

She said softly, “Senior, you stayed up all night to prepare these for me?”

The girl’s eyes were full of moisture. They were innocent and clean, as if she could drown people in them.

Zhou Fu stood up straight slightly and pushed her forehead back a little. He looked away and avoided her eyes. “If you don’t return to class now, you are going to be late, good girl.”

Lu Guixin laughed. “Thanks, Senior.”

Zhou Fu pointed his chin at the stack of documents. “Keep them well.”

Lu Guixin flipped through the documents and asked curiously, “Why aren’t there any notes on Chinese and English?” As she spoke, she paused and answered herself. “Oh right, you’re not good at your languages.”

Zhou Fu was silent for a while as he was suddenly mocked. He said without many expressions. “My language may be poor, but I am still first.”

Lu Guixin looked up, and her eyes curved like a crescent moon. “Yeah, you’re so impressive, Senior.”

Zhou Fu remained silent.

She’s so good at being dramatic.

…

Zhou Fu returned to Year Three Class One.

He kicked the chair aside and sat on it.

The boy in front of him turned around. When he saw Zhou Fu’s breakfast, he gave a suggestive smile. “Brother Fu, did the School Beauty really wake up early and travel for such a distance to get you breakfast?”

Xia Cheng sat in her place and was only an aisle away from Zhou Fu.

When she heard this, she tightened her grip around the pen in her hand.

She looked at them and pretended to ask casually. “Did Lu Guixin get Zhou Fu breakfast?”

The boy nodded smilingly. “Yesterday, we bumped into the school beauty while we were having dinner. She said that she would buy breakfast for Brother Fu to thank him for clearing things up for her.”

Xia Cheng looked at the breakfast on Zhou Fu’s desk and clenched her fist.

Zhou Fu had actually accepted the breakfast that Lu Guixin bought for him.

Time and time again, Zhou Fu had made exceptions for Lu Guixin. Xia Cheng was anxious and jealous. She held in her feelings so much that she was about to lose control.

…

In the next few days.

Lu Guixin and Tian Lu returned to their usual life just as before.

They never bumped into Zhou Fu and the others again.

Even though Lu Guixin would intentionally go to places where Zhou Fu often appeared at times and create opportunities for coincidences, she never met him.

It was as if that phrase was true.

When you wish for something to happen, the probability of it occurring just lessens.

It was indeed hard for Year Ones and Year Threes to cross paths.

On Thursday night.

Lu Guixin was done bathing, and she picked up her phone. There were still no new messages on her pinned conversation.

She had sent him quite a lot of messages for three consecutive nights. He did not reply—not a single punctuation.

Lu Guixin tilted her head and looked at her phone. Then, she raised her brow and said, “He’s brave.”

In the past few days, she was pretty confident that Zhou Fu, who could not look her straight in the eye, was not that difficult of a person.

Now, he had a surprise for her.

He was suddenly cold and suddenly friendly.

He was kind yet somehow distant.

Lu Guixin threw her phone on the desk and turned around to walk toward her bed. She wiped her hair with her long, delicate, and pale fingers. She smirked.

What should I do?

I think I’m getting even more interested now.

…

Friday afternoon.

Year One Class Nine was having a Physical Education lesson in the first period.

Year Three Class One had a Physical Education lesson in the second period.

Usually, Lu Guixin had a way of avoiding Physical Education classes and slept in class without ruining her good image.

This afternoon, it was the first time in High School that she had gone to Physical Education class with Tian Lu.

After class, she told Tian Lu to return first. She stayed at the field for a few more minutes intentionally. She only got up to leave when class was about to begin.

Indeed, just as she walked to the exit of the field, she saw members of Year Three Class One walking over in groups.

Lu Guixin’s eyes fell precisely on Zhou Fu, who was at the end. When she saw the slender figure standing beside him, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Xia Cheng was the only girl in the top five among the Year Threes in the Science stream.

Xia Cheng was holding onto a parcel bag, and there seemed to be some documents inside it. She pointed somewhere and said something to Zhou Fu.

“I got these from a senior at the Capital University. They are documents meant for internal use.

“I scanned through them, and these documents are pretty complete. They will likely be of help for our competition next month.

“Have a look and see which ones you need. I’ll get them printed for you.”

It seemed like Xia Cheng was so focused on talking to Zhou Fu that she was not watching her steps. She tripped over something all of a sudden and fell forward.

She held onto the person beside her naturally.

Lu Guixin watched as she gripped Zhou Fu’s waist tightly and stuck her body onto him. Lu Guixin’s jaw moved a little, and her clear pupils turned dark instantly. They were deep, and a sense of hostility showed up.

Xia Cheng shut her eyes tight, and before she could react, she felt someone grabbing her by the arm and pulling her away.

“Ouch!” That person used so much strength that she yelled in pain and stumbled back.

When she looked up, she saw that Zhou Fu had distanced himself from her.

The boy looked cold and cruel. There was low pressure all around him, and the look in his eyes was full of despise, annoyance, and irritancy.

As usual, Zhou Fu was distant. The close contact had already touched his bottom line.

Xia Cheng snapped back to reality and apologized to Zhou Fu quickly. “I’m sorry.”

There seemed to still be a faint scent of mint and tobacco from Zhou Fu’s body in her breath, and her body was faintly stained with his temperature.

Zhou Fu’s jaw tightened, and his eyes looked fierce and wild. His face was so cold that he looked really intimidating.

He glanced at his waist and patted his school uniform as if he was dusting off something dirty.

Xia Cheng’s face turned pale. She wanted to say something, but Zhou Fu had already continued walking towards the entrance of the field.

When he passed by Lu Guixin, the girl pouted and said softly with a disappointed tone, “Don’t you know how to dodge? You are very swift… Why did you let her touch you?”

She said it softly, but she was sure that Zhou Fu heard it.

“I don’t like it when others touch you.” Lu Guixin continued in a really sad tone. “I haven’t even hugged you before.”

The boy stopped in his steps. This was their first conversation after several days. He did not respond to her but instead asked, “How much of the documents that I gave you have you read?”

Lu Guixin was clearly displeased. She answered unwillingly with a soft voice, “I’m at the third chapter for Math. I don’t understand most of Physics and I haven’t looked at the rest.”

Zhou Fu asked, “Will you be returning home this weekend?”

This week, the entire school will have a long weekend with two days off.

Lu Guixin shook her head. “Nope, I need to study. I have bad grades.”

Zhou Fu turned and looked down at her. The coldness in his eyes vanished slowly. “Look for an empty study room at night and send me your location.”

Lu Guixin’s eyes lit up. “Are you going to teach me, Senior?”

“Yeah.” Zhou Fu responded.

The disappointed look on Lu Guixin’s face suddenly brightened. She suddenly recalled that she was going to attend the Tan Family’s birthday banquet that night, so she asked cautiously, “Can we do that tomorrow? I have something on tonight.”

“Yeah.” Zhou Fu answered and walked into the field.

Xia Cheng was far away, and she could not hear what they were talking about.

She only noticed that Zhou Fu did not despise Lu Guixin the way that he did towards her at all.

Why Lu Guixin?!

The bell that signaled the start of class rang, and Lu Guixin smiled as she ran towards the academic block immediately.

Xia Cheng stared at Lu Guixin’s back and tightened her grip around the documents in hand. She used so much strength that her fingertips were pale.

…

The last period on Friday ended.

Most of the students from Ming City have returned home, and very few of them stayed in school.

Lu Guixin did not carry a bag. She removed her school uniform, and there was a simple black varsity jacket inside.

She had random things stuffed in her pockets.

She put on her black mask and walked towards the school gate with the crowd.

The Tan Family’s car was parked across the road.

Tan Ying leaned against the car casually, and a cigarette was tucked between his fingers. His fingertips were a little red, and he looked unbridled and unruly.

Some girls took quick glances at him, and he smiled at them. The amorous eyes of this youth were really deep and alluring.

His smile made the girls stumble in their steps.

He saw Lu Guixin’s figure in the crowd, and the look in his eyes became more proper. He stood up straight and tall.

He walked towards Lu Guixin and smirked. “Little princess, we haven’t met in such a long time. Do you miss me?”

Lu Guixin smiled and answered in a clear and crisp voice. “Nope.”

“Tsk,” Tan Ying sighed in sadness. “How heartless. I have been thinking about the little princess of our family every single day.”

As he spoke, he rubbed Lu Guixin’s head and pulled the car door open. “Hop on.”

Lu Guixin bent over and went into the car. Then, she asked him, “Where is the birthday banquet held?”

“Hotel W,” Tan Ying answered.

At the school gate.

Xia Cheng waved goodbye to her friends and was just about to get into the car that the Xia family had sent to pick her up.

Her friend suddenly looked afar and asked with a tinge of strangeness in her tone. “Isn’t that Lu Guixin and Tan Ying? Why are the both of them together? Lu Guixin even got onto the Tan Family’s car.”

Xia Cheng looked over and only saw Tan Ying getting into the car and shutting the door.

“It’s the weekend. Is Lu Guixin not going home?” The friend asked aloud and expressed her confusion.

Xia Cheng’s eyes deepened. “Maybe they are hanging out together. Lu Guixin said that they are friends.”

When the friend heard that, she scoffed in disbelief. “Is there any girl who would befriend Tan Ying? Do you actually believe that?”

Xia Cheng looked away and smiled. “Let’s not talk about others. See you.”

The friend nodded.

Xia Cheng got into her car, and the driver started the engine slowly.

Just as they got onto the main road, Xia Cheng looked at the car that had just passed by the Tan Family’s car. She bit her lip and ordered the chauffeur. “Follow that car in front.”

…

At Hotel W.

Xia Cheng looked at the giant landscape stone outside of the hotel entrance.

Immediately, her gaze shifted slightly, and she looked at Tan Ying and Lu Guixin, who were walking into the hotel from afar.

Tan Ying had his arms around Lu Guixin intimately, and he was telling her something smilingly.

Xia Cheng smirked. Is this what Lu Guixin meant by “friends”? 

She took out her phone and zoomed in.
