âYou should stay at home and rest.â Yan Su was startled at first, then knitted her brows into a deep frown and said, âDonât let An Ning bother you again.â
âAre you jealous?â Mo Liuxi raised his brows.
Yan Su blushed scarlet. She was also surprised by what sheâd said. âWhat are you talking about? Iâm just worried about you,â she said.
âAre you worried that An Ning might rape me while I canât use both arms to fight back?â Mo Liuxi smiled faintly.
Yan Su couldnât even bear listening to that. She hurriedly put on her shoes and prepared to leave.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâll protect myself for you.â Mo Liuxi walked up to her, whispering.
He would never get drunk and let some women take advantage of him again, not like last time.
He only needed to learn that kind of lesson once in his life.
He said that so seriously. Yan Su paused shortly, then replied with a weird look, âYou are strongâ
âYouâre wrong,â Mo Liuxi shook his head.
âWho would possibly hurt you?â Yan Su asked without thinking.
âYou,â Mo Liuxi looked at her in the eyes and said, âYou could hurt me anytime you wanted, effortlessly.â
Yan Su felt so embarrassed that she even wanted to tear her own mouth up. She should have seen that coming.
Before leaving, Yan Su paused briefly to think, then asked curiously, âYou said that Iâm like a snail, so, why donât you break my shell instead of luring me out?â
âSilly girl. I canât break your shell. Itâs what you protect yourself with. Can a snail survive without its shell? I like you, but your safety is more important to me,â Mo Liuxi answered her question without thinking.
Yan Su throat grew a little tight. She didnât say anything back. She kept her head lowered and left.
In school, many people asked her about what had happened the previous night. Before the class started, Yan Su saw a large group of girls swarming out of their classrooms.
âMo Liuxi, heâs here. They saw him,â said Fan Jing, who was sitting beside Yan Su, âI guess you donât know that all the girls in our school now see him as the perfect man since they heard how he saved you last night. Before, he was just the most handsome boy in our school, but now, heâs a lot more than that.â
Yan Su was stunned a little. Fan Jing moved closer to her, chuckled, and whispered, âBe honest with me, did your heart leap last night when he saved you?â
âDonât overthink it. Heâs younger than me,â Yan Su hurriedly denied, then opened her textbook. Her cheeks were burning. Thankfully, her hair was hanging loosely to cover her face.
âSo what? A lot of girls in our school are with younger boys,â Fan Jing shrugged. âSeriously, I might fall in love with him if I were you. Mo Liuxi doesnât just have fans in the school. He has fans all over the country. Heâs the new dream husband in many girlsâ hearts. I think no matter which girl he ends up with, that girl will be under great pressure, unless youâre that girl.â
âMe?â Yan Su was not confident about that.
âYeah. Youâre the prettiest girl in the school, while heâs the most handsome boy. You can win over the other girls convincingly.â
Yan Su subconsciously thought of An Ning. She hoped that girl wouldnât try to pour boiling water onto her face.
During class, Yan Su was a little bored, so she started checking Weibo. Ji Nuanyi was on top of the hot search list, but now it was Shi Xiangâs statement.
After class, Yan Su got a call from Jiaojiao.
âSu, Iâm so pissed off. Iâve never seen such a shameless person in my life. You see, Shi Xiangâs team has posted a statement saying that he didnât help you in time last night because his assistant didnât let him. They said that when he tried to help, Mo Liuxi had already rushed to your table. They also said that it was he who suggested the production team cast Mr. Jia and He Jian out. Even if thatâs real, how can that kind of belated action possibly help you?â
