He still suffered great pain though he had been aware that she did not like him. Lowering his head, Chu Yisen covered his sad face with his hands to avoid upsetting Murong Xue. Now he knew how deep he was in this.

Murong Xue also felt bad for turning him down because she always regarded Chu Yisen as her big brother, and seeing his face covered twisted her heart as well. "Yisen..."

Chu Yisen spoke in a deep voice, "I'm fine. I just want to be alone for a while." He was unable to calm down if she was there with him. Instead, he would want to take her to his chest and even take advantage of her kindness to materialize their relationship, but he was unwilling to force her to do anything. Therefore, he decided to be the one who got hurt.

Murong Xue tried to say something but failed. She rose up and stared at Chu Yisen for a while before leaving, which she knew was really for the benefit of him. She, who had been put through hell and had been heartbroken, was unable to warm anyone. More importantly, she had no such feelings for him, and Chu Yisen, in her eyes, deserved a better girl.

She now felt that she had been too slow and stupid to understand Chu Yisen's feelings for her.

She had been through a lot, so she did not expect that she would be the one who put Chu Yisen through hell now. She was caught in a dilemma as she became the kind of person she disliked most.

She didn’t expect this to happen. She blamed herself for her dependence on him all the time, which led to the situation now. It was all her fault.

Returning to her room, Murong Xue, tired and withered, forgot that Huangfu Yi was waiting for her in his room. Lying on the bed feebly, she recalled everything since her rebirth.

Gradually, she fell asleep without changing into her pajamas.

Waiting for a long time, Huangfu Yi saw no sign of Murong Xue coming over, so he went to her room with a cold face. He knocked on the door first, but there was no answer. Then he opened the door slightly and found Murong Xue curled up on the bed without the quilt.

This image softened his face, but the frown appeared. He came to the bedside and tucked her in, which she had done for him during the time when he lost his memory. He got used to looking around when he woke up at midnight these days, but she was not there for him.

He had not figured out what his feelings for her meant, so he only knew that she was special to him now. He didn’t like others to touch her. In other words, it was unbearable for him to see others touching her.

Watching her in silence for a while, Huangfu Yi closed the door and returned to his own room.

So, the three of them went to bed with different feelings tonight and none of them knew what others' dreams were and whether their dreams could come true.

The next morning, Murong Xue woke up in surprise as she found that she had fallen asleep last night.

She got up, washed over, and went downstairs nervously, wondering how she should face Chu Yisen.

"Morning, Xue."

Hearing the greeting from Chu Yisen with a big smile, Murong Xue was puzzled and just looked at him.

Chu Yisen pinched her cheeks with affections in his eyes, "What's up? A silly face in the morning."

"You have a silly face." Murong Xue pouted but felt happy in her heart. She was quite relieved that Chu Yisen was acting normal in front of her. To be honest, she had been worrying about Chu Yisen all night.

"Let's have breakfast now. We are waiting for you." Chu Yisen said. He felt eased as well. After thinking it through, he decided that he would protect her his entire life. He had wanted nothing more than it before, but he just became greedier when they were more intimate.

Murong Xue looked over to the dining room and saw everyone seated there waiting for her. Then she put out her tongue out of embarrassment and walked over.

Although she was used to strict table manners in those big and ancient families, she was still impressed by Huangfu Yi while dining with him, who acted like an emperor. She did not notice it when he only had memories of his first five years. In fact, almost everyone else was attracted by his extraordinary manners.

Now Huangfu Yi seemed to be the center of the limelight and he was shining in others' eyes. Certain people in the world were able to easily show that they were different from the rest.

However, Chu Yisen failed to appreciate this beautiful scene despite his surprise. He glared at Huangfu Yi and felt that it was just a show-off act. Besides, he also worried that there was no record to be found about Huangfu Yi and his identity was still a secret. Thinking that Huangfu Yi could be a potential enemy, Chu Yisen tightened his grip and held the chopsticks harder. If it was true, it would be very horrible.

He felt relieved that Huangfu Yi was saved by Murong Xue and thus was grateful to her, so he supposed that Huangfu Yi would do nothing harmful to her. However, he could not help worrying about Murong Xue, and he could tell nothing from Huangfu Yi's face as his eyes became clearer and clearer recently.

Apart from Chu Yisen, Murong Xue also felt confused. She had thought that Huangfu Yi left without saying goodbye because he did not want to get too much involved with her, but he showed up in her house suddenly after a few weeks. She did not understand why he did that.

Huangfu Yi seemed to be very indifferent to others' attention and he continued to enjoy the delicious food unhurriedly. In fact, nobody dared to stare at him like this, but he chose to forgive them as they were important to Murong Xue.

After the breakfast, Murong Xue told them that she wanted to visit her alma mater and thanked everyone there who had helped her, which was also her promise to Mr. Huang. After pondering, she also called Mo Aili and asked her to be her companion.

Huangfu Yi and Chu Yisen decided to go with her, too. Chu Yisen wanted to have a look at her high school since he was not busy these days, and Huangfu Yi just took a look at her and got into her car without saying anything, which was so imposing that she did not bother to ask him why.

Murong Xue told Mo Aili to meet at the school gate. Mo Aili jumped on her at once when Murong Xue parked her car, "You're too slow. I'm waiting for you like forever." Murong Xue found that Mo Aili was as energetic as usual.

After firing complaints, Mo Aili noticed the two men behind Murong Xue and her eyes flashed when she saw Huangfu Yi, "Xue, who is this handsome guy?"

Murong Xue began her introduction smilingly, "Let me introduce you to each other. This is Huangfu Yi and this is Mo Aili."

"Hello, Huangfu." Mo Aili greeted without noticing Chu Yisen.

Only dead silence followed Mo Aili's greeting.

Mo Aili felt a twitch in her face and wondered why Murong Xue's friends were all so strange. Mo Aili thought Huangfu Yi was stranger as he directly ignored her. It seemed that the bonsai at the school gate were more appealing to him. However, she did not hate Huangfu Yi. His bearing even made this scene normal as Huangfu Yi had a quality that made people feel it was an honor to get his attention.

"Never mind. He's shy with strangers." Murong Xue was also helpless about him as he became more and more unfathomable since his memories came back, so she could only laugh and comfort Mo Aili to break the ice.

Mo Aili knew Murong Xue was making an excuse for him, so she just let it go and looked at her, "Xue, they did not go to this high school. Why are they here? Is it so hard for you to get away from your boyfriend for a couple of days?" Mo Aili was talking about Murong Xue and Chu Yisen. She did not know what had happened to Murong Xue until last night as she was busy with the new semester. Mo Aili had been participating in several clubs in her university and then she also had military training, so she did not surf on the Internet quite often.

She felt guilty that she had failed to know it earlier and come to help Murong Xue. She knew Murong Xue had been through a lot, which was just like what she had suffered in high school, though it ended up with good results.

Then the four walked into the school and Murong Xue's appearance caused an uproar in the crowd.

"It's Murong Xue!"

"Really? Oh my, she is back!"

"Where? Where is she?"

"Who are the people next to her? Oh my god! They're so handsome!"

"The Princess with her Prince Charming."

"I need to tell others. Our goddess is back!"

"..."

Murong Xue still failed to be at ease when faced with such a grand scene. In fact, she was a little embarrassed as she did not contribute much to the school except the international academic competition of the school. Now she felt she was not worthy of people's enthusiastic welcome.

Chu Yisen was also in shock when he saw that Murong Xue was such a popular star in the school, but his face remained calm. Few could make the students go mad like this, and their glowing eyes at Murong Xue, in his opinion, were just like starving wolves staring at delicious meat. Thinking of this, Chu Yisen felt sorry about his terrible metaphor.
