"Mr. Huang, thank you very much. Do you remember the rumor about my photos before?" Murong Xue felt lucky that she could meet Mr. Huang in high school and he helped her a lot in both study and life even if some events were not within the scope of his responsibilities. Therefore, Mr. Huang was the most respectable among the teachers to her.

"That is all water under the bridge now." Why did Murong Xue mention it now? Mr. Huang sure remembered that thing and almost all the students in high school knew about it.

Murong Xue spoke after a moment, "Now the same rumor is floating around the university I go to, the University of Medicine in the capital. I'm thinking that if you can do me a favor since my innocence was proved in high school..."

Mr. Huang was surprised, but he did not find it strange because of what had happened back then. He felt that maybe outstanding students like her always made themselves easy targets, but the students in high school now were all admiring her and some had even cried when Murong Xue took the graduation tests and left.

It would not be very difficult to help her out and a short video shot by the high school students would do it. Thinking of this, he assured her, "Don't worry. I will help you and you will hear from me tomorrow." It would take him a day to prepare relevant materials.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang. I don't know what to say to express my gratitude." Murong Xue believed that the good outnumbered the bad in the world. At least, she had met so many kind people in this life.

"If you really want to thank me, come to visit us sometimes. Many of them are missing you." He was not lying. Murong Xue was still at the center of discussions among students even though she had graduated.

Murong Xue raised an understanding smile, "Okay, I'll come back when I have the day off."

In such a case, she had got help from her high school. Now she only needed to pretend to be Chu Yisen's girlfriend. In this way, the rumor that she had abused her power for the president of the student union would be unfounded.

She then asked Chu Yisen to meet in her villa as she remembered that he preferred her cooking to the dishes made in the restaurants, on which she agreed with him. The food made of the materials from the Space was more delicious.

Chu Yisen arrived very soon and Murong Xue greeted him with a smile, "Yisen, should we have dinner now?"

Chu Yisen smiled back at her and he felt that they were getting closer and closer and that his dream might come true someday. "Okay, but I need to wash up first."

"Go ahead." Murong Xue answered while serving the food.

In the bathroom, Chu Yisen felt so excited that he had to pat his chest to calm down. Looking at the smiling face in the mirror, he found himself unable to conceal his feelings now after having the conversation with her like husband and wife. Now he began to doubt if he was too greedy for asking more.

The bodyguard he left to her was not only for protecting her but also one way for him to know about her daily life, and he felt this kind of personal feeling could not be hidden deep inside anymore.

He did not know what she wanted to ask him to do today, but he was glad that she always came to him first when she had trouble.

Murong Xue had already set the table with dishes and soup served when he got out of the bathroom. "Yisen, sit down and have dinner please."

"OK. Won't you be tired of cooking every day, Xue? How about me hiring a chef for you? If using the same materials, he should do the same good." Chu Yisen felt sorry to see her busy working and studying at the same time, so he hoped to alleviate her burden by hiring a cook.

Murong Xue laughed, "Don't you like my cooking?"

"Of course, I do. It's my favorite, but I worry about you being busy."

"I don't like having others at my home. Cooking won't take up too much of my time." Murong Xue was still considering how she should ask him to be a fake couple with her.

Her answer made sense to him. Certainly, she didn’t like others being at her home. He remembered that she had chosen to live alone in the small apartment in A province, so he compromised, "Then never mind. By the way, what is the thing you mentioned on the phone?"

Murong Xue stammered, "Well… Em..."

"What?" Chu Yisen paused. Why did Murong Xue act like this? He seldom saw her like this, shy and a little embarrassed.

Murong Xue made up her mind, collected herself, and said, "Would you mind being my fake boyfriend?"

"What?" Did she ask him to be her boyfriend?

Seeing his reaction, Murong Xue felt that she might ask for too much of him, so she apologized, "Yisen, am I giving you a hard time? If so, you don't need to do this." She also could ask Xiaosan to do it, but Chu Yisen was a better choice since he was the one who kissed her in the photo. With other evidence, it would kill two birds with one stone if Chu Yisen could play the show with her.

Chu Yisen was so excited and shocked that he stood up, "No, no trouble at all. My pleasure." Then he realized that he was too hysterical, so he sat down and pretended to cover it with coughing, "Why do you want me to be your boyfriend?" Chu Yisen left out the word "fake" on purpose.

"Troubles at school. Will helping me get you in trouble?" Murong Xue was worried.

"What kind of trouble makes you need a boyfriend? Tell me what happened first? It won’t affect me at all. Don't worry about me."

Murong Xue explained everything about the rumor on the school forum and what had happened before in her high school to him.

Chu Yisen's eyes grew colder when he found out that she had suffered a lot and he was furious that those students were bullying her instead of concentrating on studying, but he also knew that only money and power could not easily solve these things.

"What do I need to do?" Chu Yisen asked.

Murong Xue smiled, "Nothing actually. Just pretend to be my boyfriend. I just need to let the students in my university know that you are my boyfriend and make a public statement on the school forum. Is that okay for you and the Chu Family?" Only then did she realize that who was Chu Yisen's girlfriend was something that his family would pay attention to since Chu Yisen was not an ordinary person. She now felt that she was too reckless and she knew Chu Yisen was too nice to refuse her.

"As you like it. I'm fine. The Chu Family won't care about this." Chu Yisen was so happy! He even wanted her to tell the whole world about this.

"Yisen, I don't think so. Forget it. I'm so thoughtless." Murong Xue knew he would not let her know even if he would have trouble. She thought more and more that she had brought trouble to Chu Yisen.

Chu Yisen paused and did not expect that she would retreat so fast. He would not allow it. "Why, Xue? I'm really okay with it. And, if I don't do it for you, you must have a hard time in university."

"I'll find a way out."

D*mn! Chu Yisen was afraid that she was so determined that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him would just slip away. "No, it's a deal. You don't take me as your friend if you say no again."

"Yisen... Fine. But you have to let me know if you have any trouble. At least, I can help you with it, and I can explain it for you to your family. I got you into this." Murong Xue nodded and added.

"If so, I can pick you up and drop you off at school every day." Chu Yisen had already begun to plan their beautiful future and forgotten that it was only a show.

"What? You don’t have to do that. It's too much trouble." Murong Xue did not find it necessary as they just pretended to be a couple.

But Chu Yisen was very serious, saying, "How can others buy it if we don't do it?"

"But we're not a real couple and it's too much trouble to ask of you." Murong Xue denied it.

"We need to let others believe we're a couple. Okay, say no more. Let’s eat. The dinner is getting cold."

They had been talking all the time and had touched nothing on the table so far. Fortunately, the days were still warm, so the dinner was not cold yet.

Today could be the happiest day for Chu Yisen and he was even humming after getting out of the villa with a giggle, which would have freaked his employees out if they had seen it.

The next day, Murong Xue had received the video from Mr. Huang by email and she expressed her thanks to him repeatedly. She also decided that she would visit him with gifts as a sign of appreciation when she returned to A province on vacation.

After she watched the video, she felt so moved that her eyes got wet and she couldn’t collect herself for a long time. She did not expect the students and teachers in her high school would be so good to her and these kind words and smiling faces touched her heart.
