Old Mister Wen didnât say much. Ming Shu searched for the name in the Hostâs memory and remembered a weak little boy.
Old Mister Wen told her this because he was worried that the appearance of a young man might make her uncomfortable.
Ming Shu forgot about this the moment he went back to her room.
She took out some snacks from her bag and played with her cellphone as she ate them.
Someone in her classâs group chat tagged her.
Director Wang: @Sang Yin @Long Live My Luck @Le Gao remember to pass me your self-reflection letters tomorrow!
Cheng Xiang replied the moment Director Wang tagged them.
Long Live My Luck: Ah... can I lose my memory tomorrow?
Le Gao: My relatives are coming over tomorrow.
Director Wang: Your oldest aunt is coming? If itâs not your oldest aunt, pass it to me tomorrow!
Le Gao: My oldest uncle is coming?
Director Wang: No way!
Le Gao: ...
Long Live My Luck: ...
The other classmates were laughing at their plight.
The chat with their teachers and Director Wang was ignored after a while. Everyone went into the group chat that didnât have any teachers inside.
Chairman of the Leaning Committee: What happened to Sang Yin? Why must she write too?
Dudu Pao: She had a fight with Yi Jiaojiao and was caught by the bald man.
Ah Piao: What? The obedient girl had a fight with someone? What joke is this? Is the bald man blind?
Your Exam Script Is Here: I saw it too. Sang Yin really threw the person on the ground. Iâm not sure why they had a fight though. Tsk, do you all know how handsome she looks? I didnât know that she was so strong! She is a hidden master!
Sang Yin: I was always impressive. No one surpassed me before!
Everyone: ...
Ming Shu threw her cellphone to the side after she typed this sentence. She took out a piece of paper and started writing.
To Director Wangâ
In the end, she decided that she must replenish some energy before her brain could work.
When she picked up her cellphone again, there were 99+ messages waiting for her in their class group chat.
The topic had changed from the self-reflection letter to Yi Jiaojiao. The names were also not shown.
Ming Shu: â...â
Little kids knew how to play.
Zhangsun Wuji (Anonymous): Yi Jiaojiaoâs change is so big. If no one told me that thatâs Yi Jiaojiao, I wouldnât have recognized her.
Di Renjie (Anonymous): Did Yi Jiaojiao win a 5 million lottery? Yuanfang, what do you think?
Yuanfang (Anonymous): Lord, I think that thereâs something amiss.
Yuanfang (Anonymous): Lord, there must be a huge secret behind it.
Wu Zetian (Anonymous): I saw Yi Jiaojiao just now at the Jade Water Villa. That is a high-class district. What is she doing there?
The Jade Water Villa?
Ming Shu recalled that Yi Jiaojiao should have saved someone during this time. The person she saved introduced her to the person who chased the Host away.
Ming Shu leaned against her chair and spun two rounds. She decided to go on a date with her little cutie.
...
There were many distractions along the way so when Ming Shu arrived at the Jade Water Villa, she wasnât sure if Yi Jiaojiao was still there.
She found a place to sit down. From this position, she was able to look at the Jade Water Villa.
After a while, Yi Jiaojiao finally came out.
A man sent her out. He was polite to Yi Jiaojiao. Yi Jiaojiao parted with him and walked away.
Ming Shu chased after her.
Boom!
Ming Shu grabbed her aching shoulder and turned to look at the person who bumped into her.
The person who knocked into her took a few steps back. The person was wearing a coat even though it was summer. He had a mask on and his footsteps were light.
He got a shock when he saw someone running out of the shadows. He didnât speak for a moment.
Something stirred in Ming Shuâs eyes.
âIâm sorry.â
The person held onto his mask and spoke in a low voice. Then, he hurriedly walked away.
Footsteps sounded behind him. The person turned and froze for a moment. He dashed off after that.
He knew that he couldnât run far so he hid in the shadows.
âDonât tell anyone you saw me. Thank you.â
He said this when he was running past Ming Shu.
A few bodyguards appeared after he left. They saw Ming Shu standing there so they came to question her.
âHave you seen a man in black?â
Ming Shu shook her head.
The bodyguards looked at her weirdly. Ming Shu smiled and allowed them to size her up.
The bodyguards gave up. âYoung Masterâs body is not good. He canât run too far. He must be nearby. Letâs split up and search.â
âHey.â
Ming Shu suddenly spoke.
The bodyguards turned around.
Ming Shu pointed at the place where the man was hiding. âThat way.â
The bodyguards: â...â
The bodyguards didnât have the time to suspect her. Someone rushed out of the shadows.
The bodyguards chased after the man.
He got surrounded soon.
The bodyguards didnât dare to attack the young man. They bowed to him respectfully.
The night was quiet. Ming Shu heard one of the bodyguards saying, âYoung Master, please donât make it difficult for us. Come back with us.â
The bodyguards followed the orders given to them like robots.
The young man stood in the middle. The light from the lamp elongated his shadow. He seemed lonely and helpless.
They were at a standstill for a long time. After that, the young man finally moved. He lowered his head.
The bodyguards dialed a number and a few cars came.
The young man walked toward Ming Shu and took the cellphone from the bodyguards. He turned on the flashlight on the cellphone and shone it on Ming Shu.
He wanted to remember this face.
One minute later, he threw the cellphone at the bodyguards and went up to the car unhappily.
After he got in the car, he wound down the car window. Ming Shu couldnât see what he was doing but she felt that he was looking at her.
The car in front moved.
Ming Shu watched as the cars left. She looked at the Jade Water Villa in disappointment.
She didnât achieve anything today!
...
The next day...
Ming Shu grabbed her bag; she was late for school. Old Wang was guarding the school gates personally.
âYou, why are you late!â
âDirector Wang, I was writing my self-reflection letter,â Jiang Le said naturally.
Old Wang turned to Cheng Xiang. âWhat about you?â
Cheng Xiang replied, âI was writing the self-reflection letter too.â
Luo Yi and Tang Zhe gave the same excuse.
The people who didnât have to write the self-reflection letter gave a variation of answers. Lu Zhanâs excuse was unique. âI helped an old lady up but got extorted instead.â
Old Wang: â...â
Jiang Le and his friends gave their thumbs-up.
âWhat... about you?â Old Wang looked at Ming Shu.
âI was thinking about the relationship between wheat and pork.â
This reason sounded so interesting. Old Wang didnât notice anything amiss at the start so he asked Ming Shu to leave.
Everyone: â...â
After Ming Shu walked for some distance, Old Wang finally understood. âSang Yin, come back!â
Ming Shu dashed away.
Everyone: â...â
I canât believe the campus belle is like this!
