When An Chuxia’s voice falls, Xiaonan doesn’t hesitate to approach An Chuxia and cup her chin . She doesn’t know where her friend’s head wound is located, and she didn’t want it affected .
“Ouch!” An Chuxia cries out and tears come out [after the slight movement] . “I’m hurt!”
“What about it? Shouldn’t you fight back if someone hurts you?” Meng Xiaonan says seriously . “Don’t you treasure your youth? An aging person who waits is wasting youth! Don’t you get what it means to waste one’s adolescence?”
An Chuxia screams after hearing her friend . “Don’t tease . Then tell me, what should I do? What can I do other than wait for him to remember me?”
The question is quite esoteric! Meng Xiaonan touches her chin and poses like the famous sculpture, The Thinker .
If all things are considered, and Han Qilu is still the person he was, then pursuing him would only be counterproductive . He hates girls who chase after him! But if there’s someone who can set him straight, it would be Mo Xinwei . She’s the best solution they’ve got .
“I don’t know . It’s not as… . ” Meng Xiaonan’s eyes her friend and says, “It’s not like we’ll be doing this for long . We are just giving Xinwei her “break” . ”
But with that word, “break”, comes destructive consequences .
“Whatever . Wash up so we can get some sleep . I’m tired . ” An Chuxia closes her eyes and lies in bed .
It is quite late, and she still has cla.s.s in the morning . Meng Xiaonan pipes down and turns off the light in the room . Although she sleeps in the pullout bed, she is able to get a good night’s sleep .
It is early in the next day when An Chuxia and Xiaonan are woken up by the sudden opening of the doors .
“Xiao Chuxia! You didn’t tell mommy you had someone sleeping over . I only brought one breakfast meal . ” Jiang Yuan sets the thermos down apologetically .
Meng Xiaonan blinks her eyes and fully awakens . She gets up and says, “Auntie, I’m headed to school anyway . I can get breakfast there . ”
Jiang Yuan smiles when she notices Xiaonan wears the Stein College uniform . “My apologies . I will have my driver take you to school . ”
“That’s okay, I can go by public transport,” she says, refusing .
“It’s not a ha.s.sle . You’re already late as it is . You’ll be delayed further if you took the bus . ”
Meng Xiaonan looks at her mobile to confirm the time . Jiang Yuan is right, she will definitely be late . She takes up Jiang Yuan’s offer and leaves .
Jiang Yuan opens the thermos and pours out a hearty lean meat porridge for Chuxia to eat once her guest left .
As soon as An Chuxia exits the bathroom, she can smell the home cooked meal . “That smells good . Thank you, Mommy . ”
“Mommy wants you to eat well, so I got up early!” she says with a smile .
The weather outside is nice . Since its early in the morning, the temperature is mild . Only a few white clouds pepper the sky . A slight breeze blows occasionally; enough to catch a scent of the summer gra.s.s .
Meng Xiaonan just exits the cafeteria when she physically runs into Taoqiu .
“I’ve been looking for you for a while now . Come with me!”
“Where are you taking me, Taoqiu? Cla.s.s will be starting soon!” Meng Xiaonan asks, her brow knitting . However, she doesn’t stop Taoqiu from dragging her away .
After the wilderness excursion, Mo Xinwei and Taoqiu have become friends with Xiaonan . Xinwei has a new boyfriend, one with a pale, white face, from an international school .
Taoqiu takes her to the sidewalk, away from the building . Meng Xiaonan sees a willowy figure . It takes her a moment to realize it is Mo Xinwei .
Meng Xiaonan has learned to tolerate Mo Xinwei . Despite her arrogance, she’s not all that annoying . Xiaonan found out that Xinwei wasn’t good at making friends growing up, and that is why her only friend is Taoqiu .
“I didn’t know I’m in pursuit of a beautiful woman,” Meng Xiaonan says sarcastically, putting her hands on her hips . “Is there a reason you want me to be late [for cla.s.s]?”
Hearing her words, Mo Xinwei turns around . With one hand playing with her hair, and the other on her hip, she says arrogantly, “Weren’t you the one who wanted to have a private conversation?”
Before Meng Xiaonan can answer, Taoqiu says, “We’ve already waited long enough, after you took off to see your parents remarry . ”
“What?!” Meng Xiaonan’s eyes widen in emotion . “My two big sisters, how can you fault me for taking time off to see my parents’ nuptials?”
Mo Xinwei steps forward and cups Xiaonan’s chin . “Little fool, you said your mother is pregnant again, and we know that’s a lie . ”
Xiaonan shakes off Xinwei’s hand before rolling her eyes . “If she is, that’s our business to deal with . However, once An Chuxia laoda comes back, she’ll have my back . ”
Upon hearing the threat of An Chuxia’s return, Mo Xinwei scoffs . “What’s the use of her return? Your boss is going to be sent packing from her home . ”
The statement angers Meng Xiaonan . She starts kicking in frustration . Fortunately, Taoqiu was able to step aside and pull Mo Xinwei away . Otherwise, Xiaonan could’ve kicked her, making her land on the ground .
An angry Mo Xinwei kicks Meng Xiaonan in retaliation . She shouts to Meng Xiaonan, “It’s a done deal . Han Qilu’s memories won’t return, and he’s already with Mankuai . Do you know who she is? She’s a famous model who endorses many big brands . What does your laoda have to offer?”
“Say that again and I’ll kill you!” Meng Xiaonan takes off her right shoe and throws it at Mo Xinwei’s face .
Taoqiu realizes the scene is getting out of control, so she shouts, “Stop it!”
She is able to separate the two lions from each other, allowing them to calm down .
“Miss Mo, we asked Meng Xiaonan over . She’s not here to quarrel . ” Taoqiu snorts . “You two are too much . How can you argue every time you face each other? There’s not much time!”
“What do you mean there isn’t much time?” Meng Xiaonan squats down to don her shoe .
Taoqiu’s reminder puts Mo Xinwei back on the right track . Although she and Xiaonan constantly argue, their friendship pact gets better .
“Didn’t you hear the news? Mankuai is applying for admission to Stein . But since she has a busy itinerary, she won’t start school until next week . ” Mo Xinwei sighs and looks away . “I don’t want her in this school . At all . Think about it, would you allow her to go to school here?”
Next week… that’s when An Chuxia will be discharged and returning to school, unless she suffers a setback .
“But… . ” Xiaonan frowns and looks at Mo Xinwei . “I don’t want her to attend Stein for a reason . What’s yours? Do you still harbor fantasies about Han Qilu?”
“I don’t! I have a good relationship with my boyfriend! Don’t you ever say that again!” Xinwei looks at Xiaonan, answering her inquiry . “Okay, I don’t want her stealing my position as the school flower… . ”
Her declaration makes Meng Xiaonan laugh so hard, she clutches her belly .
Sure enough, she overestimated Mo Xinwei . She’s so short sighted that her reason for excluding Mankuai from Stein is deemed legitimate .
This is good . One more person against Mankuai is good for An Chuxia . If everyone likes Xinwei, and Qilu thinks she is suited to be the school flower, then would that reduce some of An Chuxia’s heartache?
“Meng Xiaonan, if you don’t stop laughing, I’ll tear out your mouth!” Xinwei rolls up her sleeves and lunges for Xiaonan .
When it’s evident they’ll be fighting again, Taoqiu walks to the far side to watch and wait for them to finish quarreling . Once the two watch her walk away, they became more conscious of their actions .
Mo Xinwei says, “I don’t really know much . She came in for a hair color while I was getting a facial at my family’s newly opened salon . She was telling me she was attending Stein, and she was asking me about cla.s.ses . How can we stop her?”
“I don’t think we need to stop her . Isn’t she a star? Her schedule would prevent her from attending her cla.s.ses regularly . What we need to do is help young master Han fall back in love with An Chuxia when she’s not around!” Xiaonan says .
Xinwei immediately interjects, “I’m not interested in their romance, especially between Qilu and Chuxia . I never did anything that extreme for myself!”
If Mo Xinwei doesn’t help, the task at hand would be difficult to complete . After all, Xinwei is popular throughout Stein . Meng Xiaonan turns to her and smiles . “You know how you can benefit? If the young master stays away from Mankuai, she won’t feel welcomed in Stein . What do you think?”
