More and more students gathered together. At first, they just stood aside and watched, and then some of them ventured to come forward and asked Murong Xue, "Goddess, may I take a photo with you?"

Murong Xue disliked taking photos, but she compromised because she thought of their sincere words and caring faces as they stood up for her last time. She nodded with a smile, "Sure, yes."

After this, the crowd became huger and even Mo Aili was asked to take photos. However, nobody dared to ask the two men. A few girls had tried to greet them, but they only got scared away by their cold eyes.

Now, it was a rare scene at school. On the one hand, Murong Xue was surrounded by circles of students while Huangfu Yi and Chu Yisen were alone by themselves, which made a stark contrast.

Murong Xue felt that her smile was getting rigid, but more students were coming over, which made her very uncomfortable. What was worse, Mo Aili was pinching her waist, and her waist must be bruised. Mo Aili was miffed because of getting tired of taking photos. Mo Aili glared at Murong Xue from time to time while taking photos. Murong Xue just ignored her and kept smiling. Maybe it was exactly what people called "friends for better or worse". How could Murong Xue let her go? Murong Xue held Mo Aili's struggling hands and stopped her from running away.

The students did not leave until the bell rang. Murong Xue and Mo Aili were both exhausted and lying against each other's backs. Murong Xue relaxed her mouth muscles and asked the two statues, "Yisen, Yi, we are going to visit our teacher. You want to wait for us here or go inside with us?"

"Let's go together." They only went here to protect Murong Xue, so they would not allow themselves to split up with her. More importantly, they now realized how popular she was and felt insecure.

"Then let's go." Murong Xue agreed.

"Xue, you were out of line this time. They all came for you. Why did I need to take photos with them?" Mo Aili hated taking photos the most.

Murong Xue patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Ha-ha, we are friends. Just let it go, please? And we don't have many photos of us. It could be a good opportunity."

"But it's too much. I feel like I've taken hundreds of photos just now. Besides, I don't know them. The most important thing is those photos won't be sent to us." Mo Aili said in a loud voice.

"You know how they helped me last time. I just want to thank them. Think it as a favor for me, okay?" Murong Xue asked smilingly.

Mo Aili thought of the video she saw last night and became quiet. She blamed herself again for doing nothing helpful and she decided to go online every day to keep herself updated.

"Never mind. It's my charity and my photos are my donations."

Murong Xue laughed at Mo Aili's inconsistency between her words and her meaning and her pleasing laughter echoed on the campus.

Later the four arrived at Mr. Huang's office.

Seeing Murong Xue, Mr. Huang stood up at once, surprised, "Murong, you come back."

"And me, teacher. Although I'm not as good as Xue, you can't just ignore me." Mo Aili teased.

"Ha-ha, how come? You are a genius, too. You two both skipped grades, which few could do." Mr. Huang looked at Mo Aili with praise. Then he turned around to see the two men and was astonished by Huangfu Yi's face, which was too beautiful to be simply divided into a group of handsome men or a group of good-looking women. Huangfu Yi’s appearance was totally a masterpiece of beauty. Mr. Huang was confused and asked, "And the two are?"

"They are my friends. Hope you don't mind. I only come today to thank you for what you've done last time. Are you free today to have dinner with us? Other teachers are welcome as well." Murong Xue asked.

Mr. Huang shook his head and refused with a light smile, "I still have classes, so no dinner. What I've done before is no big deal. Don’t care about it so much. I appreciate your visit."

Murong Xue knew that Mr. Huang was unwilling to let his student pay for his meal even though he knew she was rich. Mr. Huang was a man of principle and he never accepted gifts from students' parents, who might be stuffy but earned people's trust.

Then Murong Xue and Mo Aili talked a lot including their university life with Mr. Huang, but he refused Murong Xue's ginseng. So she had to take it home.

Before leaving, Murong Xue made a donation to the school to improve its conditions, and Mr. Huang was unable to turn it down as it could benefit all the students. In the end, Murong Xue left with thanks from the president and teachers.

The school radio broadcasted the news of Murong Xue's donation and she thus became more respectable to the students.

As they walked out of the school gate, Huangfu Yi quickly held Murong Xue and got into a manually-modified car. The car drove away before Chu Yisen and Mo Aili could do anything.

Chu Yisen failed to have a quick response and stop Huangfu Yi. Out of anger, he pounded a fist on the wall, "D*mn it." He did not expect that Huangfu Yi would be so mean.

At the same time, Mo Aili was stunned and had no idea what happened. She could not believe that the prince-like man Huangfu Yi suddenly became a monster who would take people away. Given that she was always simple-minded, she could not understand why he did it, either. Therefore, she just went blank with wide eyes and an open mouth for a minute towards the direction where the car left. When she recovered, she turned to Chu Yisen who was angry, "What are they doing? Isn't Xue your girlfriend? He took your girlfriend and hugged her."

Mo Aili was not worried about Murong Xue now since she knew Huangfu Yi was Murong Xue's friend, and she was pleased to see the drama of two men competing for her friend. "Awesome, Xue." Mo Aili thought to herself.

Chu Yisen's eyes were both angry and sad. He knew he had no right to interfere with Murong Xue as they were not in a relationship. He was only lying to himself.

Mo Aili did not expect that this arrogant man would be so upset, "Just kidding. You don't need to be like this. Don't worry. You are Xue's boyfriend and she won't betray you." Although Chu Yisen did not leave a good impression on her, Mo Aili knew later that he was just in a hurry to see Murong Xue and she was willing to forgive him for Murong Xue's sake.

However, what Mo Aili said only made Chu Yisen feel worse and even more embarrassed and it also reminded him of how Murong Xue refused him last night. "We're not a couple. We're faking it." Chu Yisen spoke out the truth and felt overwhelmingly terrible. He suddenly felt weak and tired and leaned against the wall, which aroused a feeling of loneliness and sadness.

Mo Aili was speechless now and she found this man totally different from the one she first met. Now, he was like a wounded animal that curled up and hid in his own arms to escape from everything in the world. She did not know the relationship between him and Murong Xue now, but she was sure that he fell in love with Murong Xue.

Actually, Mo Aili found this relationship strange at the very beginning after she saw how miserable and desperate Murong Xue was when she broke up with Shangguan Mo. She had been surprised that Murong Xue could move on and start a new relationship. She would be happy that her friend could forget what Shangguan Mo did to her, but now she understood that it was only a trick to deal with the rumor that she found in the forum yesterday.

Chu Yisen's eyes were closed and his face was pale, which aroused Mo Aili's sympathy. Although she had not experienced being in love with someone, she knew it was quite suffering when one's love got no answer. So she walked over and held his arm, "Let's get you something to eat. It’s my treat. I know a place where the dessert is excellent." Mo Aili thought that it was the best way to cheer someone up.

However, it seemed to be her personal opinion.

"What are you doing? Let go of my hand. I don't want to eat..." Chu Yisen was still mired in sadness, but Mo Aili dragged him to walk towards the snack street.

The snack street was nearby A high school and students would go there for food after class, which was like heaven to Mo Aili. Before she left for the capital, she had come there to enjoy the food.

"Love for food is nothing shameful. Don't worry. I will eat with you." Mo Aili answered his cold eyes with a smile. At this moment, she seemed to understand his sadness. She felt that Huangfu Yi would not allow Murong Xue to pick up them later, so she decided to give Chu Yisen a treat on behalf of Murong Xue.

Chu Yisen had no deep love for food, but he did not refuse her this time. He didn’t want any food. He wanted to find something to do and to keep his mind occupied, so he would not go to extremes.

With Mo Aili as his guide, Chu Yisen was able to visit almost all the stalls. Gradually, the sellers began to look at them with a weird face and Mo Aili's stomach was so full that she could barely walk. Then they stopped eating.

"I still want to eat, but I can't." Mo Aili felt her round belly recklessly and complained that a few shops' foods failed to go into her stomach.

Chu Yisen was speechless, "I don't know you can eat so much." She reminded him of pandas, who ate and slept repeatedly.

"My grandfather tells me that a good appetite is a blessing." Mo Aili was proud of herself.

Chu Yisen did not know how to respond, but he was not so upset and tired as before. He comforted himself that Murong Xue only regarded Huangfu Yi as her brother, so he did not need to worry about it. Even if Murong Xue had no love feelings for Chu Yisen, he was important to her.

"Let's go. I'll drive you home." Chu Yisen said while showing the car key in his hand.

"Okay." Mo Aili raised a smile and she was happy that her food therapy was very useful and that Chu Yisen was not devastated anymore.

On the other hand, Murong Xue changed her face when she was taken into the car, "Yi, what are you doing?"

Long Yi was driving the car and he concentrated on being the driver who turned a deaf ear to everything between Murong Xue and Huangfu Yi on the back seat.

Huangfu Yi only gave her an indifferent look, "Let's go somewhere we can talk alone. Also, call me Yii."

"What do you mean?" Murong Xue was confused. She was talking to them just now and all of a sudden she was taken away. Only Chu Yisen and Mo Aili were left.

"Just what I said. I want to be alone with you. No other people." Huangfu Yi closed his eyes with his arms crossed. He did not sleep all night yesterday.

"They're my friends! How can we just leave them there like this?" Murong Xue thought it was very impolite.

But she did not get to speak out. Huangfu Yi lowered his body to come near her and kissed her on the lips. He let go of her after a few seconds and then said in a deep voice, "Don't say anything. I need to take a nap." He then closed his eyes to rest.

Murong Xue's eyes were wide open. After a while, she realized what happened. Feeling her own lips, Murong Xue found that her face went red and her heart was racing fast.

Looking at Huangfu Yi, she could see his beautiful black hair between the sharp eyebrows, his perfect features, and the smooth skin of his curvy face. All of these made a divinely beautiful face. Now that he was asleep, she found he was not as cold as usual, who was similar to the one who followed her everywhere and called her sister. But Murong Xue knew that even with the same face, he could never be her brother again.
