Huang Xiaofei looked at Murong Xue's smile, thinking about how she had been helping her in the past few days. Murong Xue was pretty and nice, with good grades and lots of friends. The most important thing was that she was wealthy. Murong Xue was her dream-to-be. She envied her and was a little bit jealous. Late, she hated herself for having those thoughts. Murong Xue was so nice to her, but she thought in that way...

The weather was getting better and the clouds were beautiful. The military training was more comfortable. The whole week of the training came to an end.

On the last day, some students were crying because they didn't want their instructors to leave. They got along for so many days, and there was no way to have no feelings. Murong Xue didn't cry, but she also didn't want him to leave. Xiaosi was the one who didn't want him to leave the most. She literally hugged him and didn't let go. At last, Mr. Mo said he would come back to the capital as soon as possible so Xiaosi who was in love with him would let go of him.

After they had breakfast, freshmen got on the school bus and came back to campus. It ran on uneven road and was gradually far away from the military region.

After a long drive, everyone's phone rang, because they had no signal back in the military region. Now they all checked their phones excitedly. Murong Xue turned on her phone and found out she had dozens of missed calls and several texts.

Most of them were from Chu Yisen, and some were from her parents, Mo Aili and Gu Ming.

Murong Xue called her mother first.

"Hello, mom."

"Why didn't you answer your phone? How's the training?" Zhang Keren asked.

"There was no signal. I can't receive any of your calls. The training was okay. I'll come back to school today and I'll come home in two days when we have holidays." Murong Xue answered with a smile.

"Okay, I happen to ask you something." Zhang Keren sounded like she was not in a good mood.

Murong Xue was blank, "What kind of things?"

"I heard you're dating Chu Yisen. Is it true?" How could they be the last to know since they were her parents?

It turned out to be this incident. She forgot to tell her parents, but it was hard to explain in front of the crowd on the bus, "I'll explain later..."

"Bring your boyfriend." Zhang Keren hung off quickly.

Her mother's temper didn't change at all. Forgot it. Murong Xue would explain it as soon as she got home.

Then she called Gu Ming, wondering if there was anything that happened to the company, "Gu Ming, what happened in these days?"

"Just the plan last time. I had already asked the Accounting Department to do the budget, and everything is set including the route and staff. We're waiting for you to call. We also picked our managers..."

"Okay, I know. I'll come back in two days. Wait until then." Murong Xue said. It was not a good time to talk about work and she wasn't planning to expose her identity in Rise Group.

Mo Aili was the same as before when she called. She complained about her new campus and the training. Mo Aili also told Murong Xue that she would come back to A province this week and asked if Murong Xue would come. Finally, they planned to come back together.

The last one was Chu Yisen, "Yisen."

"Xue, are you done there? You got tanned? Was it hard? Did you eat well?"

"Yisen, how can I answer so many questions? It was good and wasn't hard at all. On the contrary, I had a good time and I grew some muscles..."

"It was good. Muscles help you stay healthy." He finally heard her voice. He missed her so much and it drove him crazy. He knew she was in training. But when she couldn't answer his calls, he was still worried...

"No, muscles don't suit women. I called my mom, and she asked about us. Are you free in two days?"

"Yes, what?" Her parents knew their relationship, which made him rather nervous.

Murong Xue hesitated for a while and asked, "Here is the deal. My mom wanted to see you. I can explain it all on my own, but I don't think they are going to buy it. I want to know if you are free, so we can go home together to explain it."

Did she want to give her parents an explanation? It wasn't his plan. What to do? He was happy to visit her parents. Were they close enough to visit their own parents? "Okay, I'll come with you. I'm free though." He ignored his poor assistant with piles of papers.

How could work compare with visiting his future parents-in-law? They should wait!

"I'll call you in two days. Thanks, Yisen."

"Little dumb, don't say thanks..."

"..."

Murong Xue hung off her call with a faint smile.

Huang Xiaofei next to her with unknowing light in her eyes came closer to Murong Xue and asked, "Xue, was that your boyfriend?"

Murong Xue almost denied it, but luckily, she realized in time, "No… Yeah, my boyfriend."

"You're so happy. You're pretty and have a nice boyfriend..." Huang Xiaofei said with envy.

Murong Xue was actually really sensitive and she immediately found out Huang Xiaofei's low self-esteem, which might be because of her average appearance. She was not ugly. Mainly, because her family was poor, she had no money to buy make-up. Her tuition was free and she was sponsored by the school.

As the saying went: Fine feathers made fine birds. Murong Xue looked at her appearance carefully and thought she could be beautiful when she put on some make-up. "Xiaofei could be pretty."

Huang Xiaofei was upset and lowered her head because she didn't want to look at Murong Xue who was so beautiful. She must be ugly next to her. "Xue, stop making fun of me..."

"I was not making fun of you. I'm serious. How about I playing a magic trick for you?" Murong Xue said with a smile. She planned to give her a makeover. She just wanted Huang Xiaofei to be confident, so she meant well. She kept in mind that Huang Xiaofei used to help her clean. Huang Xiaofei was kind. Of course, Murong Xue would love to help her...

Huang Xiaofei just smiled a little. She was not interested in the magic those rich people said, and the only thing she thought of every day was how to make her life better. Her family was poor, so she had to do part-time jobs after school. Everything she earned had to support her father who was paralyzed in bed, her mother who made little money, and her little brother who was just a middle school student...

Murong Xue didn't know what she was thinking. Huang Xiaofei didn't want to say anything. Seeing this, Murong Xue didn’t ask her anymore but closed her eyes to rest.

Huang Xiaofei never mentioned her difficulties and family to Murong Xue before because subconsciously she didn't want Murong Xue to think little of her and she couldn't see her pity look. She was not embarrassed about herself. She made money all by herself. She just didn't know why she feel self-abased in front of Murong Xue...

When they arrived at the campus, students got off the bus with laughter.

Murong Xue dragged Huang Xiaofei who was going to leave, "Xiaofei, why don't you come to my place since it's the holiday?" Mo Aili couldn't come home in two days and they made a deal of going back to A province together, so she had to stay at the villa these days.

Huang Xiaofei froze, "Your place? Where?" She couldn't go to A province. She had to work.

"Not far from our campus. What do you think? Want to come? I have a magic show..." Murong Xue said with a smile.

Huang Xiaofei hesitated for a moment, "Okay." She was not interested in magic, but she wanted to see her life. She might not be Cinderella this whole life, but she would like to see what kind of life Snow White was living. At least, she could imagine this kind of life when she was alone...

Murong Xue was happy because she agreed, and she invited the Gang of Five.

"Not us... We have something to do these days..." Laoda said. Honestly, they didn't want to hang out with someone they weren't familiar with, which meant Huang Xiaofei.

"Okay, but please come next time." Murong Xue said.

They said goodbye to each other. Murong Xue went to the villa with Huang Xiaofei. Chu Yisen was going to pick her up, but she refused him because she was with a friend, and it was not too far, so it wouldn't take long on foot.

Huang Xiaofei looked at this huge villa with surprise, and there were ten bodyguards, which suggested Murong Xue and Huang Xiaofei belonged to different worlds. She thought Murong Xue was from A province. Even if Murong Xue was rich, she couldn't be this rich. She didn't know Murong Xue was living in a castle...

"Come in, Xiaofei." Murong Xue said to Huang Xiaofei who froze.

Huang Xiaofei was a little blushed. She must look stupid just now. How embarrassing it was! She walked on the white floor and was afraid she might leave prints. She wanted to clean off her prints from the floors which were like crystals...

"Suit yourself. Make yourself at home. I live here alone. Don’t restrain yourself." Murong Xue comforted her with a smile because she could tell Huang Xiaofei was nervous.
