I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

The words of doubt were on the tip of her tongue, but Su Xingning ultimately swallowed them back.

She thought to herself, "It must be my imagination."

Who is Wen Zhilan? She is the daughter of Chairman Wen, a Justice of the Peace!

She has met countless celebrities and talented men, how could she possibly be interested in that idiot Li Chang'an?

He's not funny at all, very straight-laced, stubborn, and self-righteous...

But what if... what if she really falls for him?!

Since the day she parted ways with Li Chang'an, Su Xingning has been very irritable, but she is not actually frustrated; she remains full of confidence.

Li Chang'an will come back to her sooner or later. He's just going through a rebellious phase, or maybe he's just being stubborn because of his pride and ego.

No girl could be more dazzling than herself around him. They were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together since they were little. How could he possibly be interested in other girls?

But if it's Wen Zhilan...

Su Xingning subconsciously clenched her fists.

Soothing violin and piano music filled the Western restaurant.

However, between the two best friends who used to be inseparable, there was now an inexplicable sense of estrangement and testing.

When the meal was over, the Wen family's butler was already waiting quietly outside in a Bentley.

Wen Zhilan picked up her bag and said to Su Xingning before leaving:

"I think it's quite troublesome for Li Chang'an to take the bus to Kowloon every day."

"How about I lend him a motorcycle? Your sister really likes motorcycles, right? She usually recommends certain types of vehicles for boys."

Su Xingning pursed her lips, her anxiety growing stronger.

She really didn't want to see Li Chang'an refuse her money but then accept the gifts from Wen Zhilan.

But then I thought, how could Wen Zhilan possibly fall in love with Li Chang'an?

That dull, clueless guy, how could he possibly have the charm to attract Wen Zhilan!

Besides, Zhilan is her best friend. She always knows her limits, so how could she possibly try to steal Li Chang'an from her?

Haha~ That's true. It's so lame to be so suspicious over such a small thing.

If Zhilan finds out, she'll definitely laugh at me!

After calming herself down, Su Xingning slowly spoke:

"My sister said that boys usually ride Kawasaki or Yamaha, but Kawasaki bikes are a bit too flashy, the sound is too loud."

Li Chang'an would probably prefer Yamaha's deeper, more resonant voice.

"Yes, thank you for your suggestion, Xingning."

Wen Zhilan waved goodbye to her gently, and after the housekeeper opened the car door, she bent down and got into the car.

As the Bentley started, Wen Zhilan watched Su Xingning grow smaller in the rearview mirror and fell silent.

Only now did she belatedly realize that her words about Li Chang'an and Xing Ning being unsuitable were far too direct and impulsive, completely unlike her usual composed self.

And is her reluctance to leave the Aoyama Road film set really just because the translation work is interesting?

Or perhaps it's because there's someone there who unconsciously catches her attention...

A sense of bewilderment overwhelmed her; she couldn't understand it, and she dared not think about it too deeply.

……

……

The following morning, Shek Tong Tsui, Sai Wan.

In the cool morning breeze, Li Chang'an, wearing a baseball cap, slowly rode his bicycle to take Ruan Xiaotang to school.

The girl sat in the back seat, but her eyes were always glued to his shoulders and neck, staring intently.

Although the suspicious hickey had faded overnight, the image seemed to have taken root in Ruan Xiaotang's heart, and it felt awkward no matter how she looked at it.

Li Chang'an felt a little uneasy under her gaze and turned around to ask:

"Is there something on my neck? You've been staring at me the whole way."

"Yes, Brother Chang'an has a huge welt on his neck from a female mosquito bite, it looks awful."

"A female mosquito?"

Li Chang'an subconsciously touched his neck.

"There are no bags."

Li Chang'an shrugged, but he was used to the little girl's quirky personality.

They arrived at the entrance of Yuk Choi Middle School in Sai Wan.

Li Chang'an looked towards the school gate and found that Chen Yuesheng, who had been guarding the gate like a guardian deity a few days ago, was nowhere to be seen today.

Seeing this, Li Chang'an rode a little further ahead so that Ruan Xiaotang wouldn't have to walk an extra distance.

After getting out of the car, Ruan Xiaotang earnestly instructed Li Chang'an:

"Brother Chang'an, summer's here now, and there are so many female mosquitoes! You really need to take good care of yourself, and don't let the female mosquitoes bite my little strawberry anymore!"

Li Chang'an flicked her forehead.

"You should take care of yourself first; mosquitoes love biting people with delicate skin like you."

Ruan Xiaotang covered her forehead, watched Li Chang'an leave, and pouted.

Ugh, just thinking about having female mosquitoes swarming around Chang'an makes it hard to concentrate on studying.

I really wish this year would end quickly.

Once she gets into university, she can stay by Chang'an's side every day and chase away all those nasty female mosquitoes.

Ruan Xiaotang was happily imagining how graceful and imposing she would be after entering university, intimidating all the female mosquitoes.

A crisp, rapid "clack-clack-clack" of high heels approached from behind.

Ruan Xiaotang's heart tightened, and she knew something was wrong.

Turning around, she met Chen Yuesheng's smiling, almond-shaped eyes.

Although she had a stern face, her eyes revealed a hint of a smug smile, as if she had caught her lover cheating.

"Xiaotang, what brings you here today?"

"My mother brought me here..." Ruan Xiaotang's voice grew softer and softer.

"Is your mother a boy who wears a baseball cap?"

"..."

Chen Yuesheng gently raised his hand and shook the binoculars in his hand.

Ruan Xiaotang froze on the spot, her face turning bright red, and she stammered, unable to speak.

"Teacher Chen! How could you hide and spy on me like that!"

Chen Yuesheng gave a soft snort, his expression turning serious:

"Although the boy was wearing a hat and I couldn't see his face, he should be the one who brought his driver to the school to cause trouble and beat people before, right?"

I'm going to visit your home in the next few days and have a good talk with your mother about this."

As she spoke, her gaze remained impassive as she looked at Ruan Xiaotang's face, wanting to see how flustered she would be when the topic of a home visit and meeting the parents came up.

But the result was completely different from Chen Yuesheng's expectations.

Faced with these two formidable weapons for students, Ruan Xiaotang showed no nervousness whatsoever. Instead, she calmly hummed and even confidently puffed out her little rabbit!

"Teacher Chen, my mom and I would love for you to visit our home anytime!"

Ruan Xiaotang felt that if Chen Yuesheng really went there, he would understand that Brother Chang'an was just the neighbor who lived next door to her, and not some so-called underworld prince.

This was an opportunity to clear Chang'an's name, and of course she wholeheartedly agreed!

However, Chen Yuesheng only felt a provocation, because Ruan Xiaotang was practically declaring war on her:

My mom and I have already conspired together, so you won't be able to find any fault with us!

Chen Yuesheng felt a surge of anger and bit his full lower lip.

Those despicable gangsters dare to bribe even the students' parents! Do you think this will shake my determination to protect the students?

"..."

Ruan Xiaotang noticed a strange look on Chen Yuesheng's face.

Why does it feel like... Teacher Chen's expression of conviction is even stronger now?
