Zhou Shuxing watched Bai Susuâs retreating back, a tinge of disappointment in his gaze.
But soon, he also swiftly followed after her.
Anyway, they were both heading to the cafeteria, and there was only one cafeteria. Walking the same path was reasonable, right?
With that thought, Zhou Shuxing couldnât help but quicken his pace a bit.
Bai Susu arrived at the cafeteria, got her meal, and sat down in a quiet spot to eat, all the while responding to the messages Ye Fan sent her.
As she read each word of concern from Ye Fan, her heart swelled with sweetness, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved upward.
This sudden change stunned the people around her.
Since the moment Bai Susu walked into the cafeteria, everyoneâs gaze had been fixed on her, seeing her as aloof as ever, nothing out of the ordinary.
But what did they just witness!
There she was, the usually distant goddess, using her phone while eating, apparently replying to someoneâs messagesâsomething she had never done before.
Upon closer inspection, the goddess was even smiling while chattingâcould it be her beloved?
The icy goddess is in love?
Who could the other party be!
Who was the one who pulled their lofty goddess down from her pedestal?
If they found out, they were determined to break the personâs legs!
The goddess was theirs, after all.
The people around her felt both angry and heartbroken.
Why couldnât they be the one inside her phone!
Of course, Wu Hai and Zhou Shuxing, who were also in the crowd, counted themselves too, but they firmly believed that no one could win Bai Susuâs heart.
Maybe the person on the other end of the phone was a family member or a close friend of Bai Susu; they refused to believe it was her romantic interest.
Soon, Bai Susu put down her phone and continued to eat peacefully.
After finishing her meal and enjoying a bowl of green vegetable soup, she left.
As soon as Bai Susu left, she went straight to the library; there was one more class in the afternoon, and she wanted to find some resources beforehand to review.
Upon reaching the bookshelf, Bai Susu carefully examined the books around her, searching for the one she needed.
However, some noise nearby was bothering her.
At another set of bookshelves.
âXia Lili, didnât you fancy that poor lad Ye Fan? Why did you come after me and even ask to meet in the library?â a teasing voice rang out.
âZhang Liang, I was just dazzled by Ye Fanâs sweet words. Besides, you know heâs just a poor kid. Even if he gets rich, he wonât be as impressive as you. Your family has assets worth billions, right? Zhang Liang, didnât you use to chase after me, saying you liked me?â Xia Lili said to Zhang Liang, looking at him somewhat shyly.
Luckily, Bai Susu was nearby and vaguely overheard the name Ye Fan. She couldnât help but slowly get closer, tilting her body to listen. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhang Liang?
Xia Lili.
Were these two actually together now?
Just then, their voices carried over once more.
âOf course. Do you still like Ye Fan? Tell me the truth, Xia Lili,â Zhang Liang said as he gazed at Xia Liliâs pretty little face.
Indeed, the class beauty truly was a beauty, charming and delightful.
âOf course, I donât like him anymore. I even loathe him now. Zhang Liang, if Iâm with you, then you have to help me deal with Ye Fan later. We canât let him get away with it,â Xia Lili said, frustrated.
âTsk tsk tsk, are you sure? Are you really willing to let go, or is it a case of love turning to hatred?â Zhang Liang asked with a laugh.
No matter whether Xia Lili really had such a change of heart because of love turning to hate, Zhang Liang was only interested in toying with Xia Lili for a bit.
After all, he had pursued her once, and she had not accepted him; he needed to regain his face.
Since this woman had come to him on her own initiative, why would he not take what was freely offered?
âHow could I not? I like you now, and with your excellence, even Ye Fan isnât worthy of tying your shoes,â Xia Lili said fiercely.
âI like the sound of that. Come here, let me give you a hug,â Zhang Liang said with a radiant smile.
âNo, there are too many people here; donât touch me. It wouldnât be good if we were seen,â Xia Lili said, a blush creeping into her eyes.
Indeed, what would people think if they were seen?
Besides, this was at school.
âThen let me give you a kiss, just one, to satisfy me, please!â With that, Zhang Liang quickly planted a kiss on Xia Liliâs face and savored the moment with relish.
âOh no, how naughty,â Xia Lili said, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
âLetâs go somewhere else; itâs too crowded here. Letâs go,â Zhang Liang said, pulling Xia Lili away with him.
From around the corner, Bai Susu watched the two leave and then slowly emerged, her eyes filled with icy disdain.
These two were utterly clueless!
Teaming up to go against Ye Fan, how despicable!
Her husband was not someone they could simply meddle with.
Moreover, saying something like not even being worthy to carry his shoesâin Bai Susuâs eyes, these two werenât even fit to drink the water Ye Fan used to wash his feet!
Humph!
Xia Lili was truly malicious.
Fortunately, Ye Fan had seen through her true colors and broken up with her after just a month; otherwise, he would have been deeply troubled.
She must warn Ye Fan to be wary of them.
However, now Ye Fan had taken a leave of absence from school to stay at home and look after the kids and take care of company matters. Presumably, these two wouldnât be able to play any tricks.
But even so, she couldnât just let them off easily.
No, she needed to think of a way to teach them a lesson.
Bai Susu took a deep breath, calmed herself for a long while, and then continued searching for the book she needed before starting to read.
Before long, Bai Susu heard a rush of hurried footsteps.
âSister-in-law, senior!â Zhao Xiaotian called out hesitantly.
âZhao Xiaotian?â Bai Susu was somewhat surprised.
He was looking for herâwas there something wrong?
Why had he suddenly decided to seek her out?
Bai Susu had met Zhao Xiaotian in the hospital; he was one of Ye Fanâs good friends.
When she was in the hospital, it was him who had brought Ye Fan daily necessities.
âSenior, I just came back from the hospital and heard you were back at school. The boys are so excited theyâre nearly going crazyâ¦but the most important thing is, I just saw Xia Lili and Zhang Liang together. Zhang Liang is always causing trouble for Ye Fan, and Xia Lili previously begged Ye Fan to reconcile with her. Now that these two are together, itâs definitely not for anything good!â Zhao Xiaotian looked both worried and anxious.
He was really concerned now.
You see, Xia Lili used to approach him several times a day, asking him to speak on her behalf, to help her make up with Ye Fan. And now she had given up and was with Zhang Liang.
Just earlier, he had seen them flirting and getting handsy at school; it all seemed highly suspicious.
And so he began to worry, worried about his brother Ye Fan and about Bai Susu. If the relationship between Ye Fan and Bai Susu was exposed, and with the kids involvedâthe consequences didnât bear thinking about.
Therefore, he was extremely worried!
