âHere again.â
Someone tapped on his shoulder. Zhang Hongchuan appeared behind him with an odd smile. âI heard that youâve been coming to the library every day.â
âMy arm is still injured. Where would I go if not the library?â Mo Liuxi held his phone and stood up lazily.
Zhang Honchuan snorted and picked up the book that he left on the table. âThis is a Yasunari Kawabata book. Since when do you read his books?â
âWhy canât I? Iâm both a director and a scriptwriter. Of course, I need to read and write more.â Mo Liuxi took the book back and returned it to the bookshelf.
Zhang Hongchuan looked left and right, then suddenly went close to his ear, âDo you like Yan Su, or are you dating her?â
Mo Liuxiâs legs paused. He turned around to look at Zhang Hongchuan with narrowed eyes. âBe careful with what you say.â
Zhang Hongchuan rolled his eyes at Mo Liuxi. âLet me tell you that there are already people from school asking me about this, because Iâm the closest to you. You go to the library every day and Yan Su is always there too. Some people notice that every time she is there, you are too. Someone even came to ask me. Luckily, I was quick and denied it immediately. I said that youâre writing a script, so youâre researching in the library every day.â
Mo Liuxi frowned. He really didnât notice anything.
âAlso, I realized that youâve been buying milk tea and keeping it in your coat pocket. I might not know about other people, but I definitely know that you donât drink milk tea.â Zhang Hongchuan lowered his voice saying, âAlso, anyone who has observed Yan Su knows that she loves the milk tea in front of our school. That shop even advertised on its front-door that it is Yan Suâs favorite milk tea, making their business boom. Donât deny it to me. Iâve already guessed that you liked someone, but youâve always denied that it isnât Yan Su. Iâm not stupid.â
Mo Liuxi pursed his lips, kept a poker face and didnât say a word.
âAre you guys really dating?â Zhang Hongchuan became even more convinced after seeing his expression.
âDonât you already know?â Mo Liuxi was expressionless, âYou are not to let this spread. I intend to announce it publicly after Yan Su has graduated. I donât want to cause her trouble in school.â
Zhang Hongchuan widened his eyes and looked at Mo Liuxi for a while. He silently cursed in his heart and said through gritted teeth, âYou are really cunning. You were already dating her and yet you still said you would introduce her to me. You are just jealous of Chi Shengxu, arenât you?â
Mo Liuxi put the book onto the bookshelf and stayed silent, making it seem he was admitting it.
âNever mind. I donât have your looks and Iâm not as good as saving damsels like you are,â Zhang Hongchuan said. âBut itâs quite good that you guys are not public yet. Once you do, every inch of your life will be scrutinized by paparazzi, which makes it easier for you two to break up, especially since you guys are still too young...â
He didnât even finish before he saw Mo Liuxiâs unhappy look.
Zhang Hongchuan coughed lightly. âAlthough my words may not be nice, this is todayâs society.â
âWe wonât break up.â Mo Liuxi turned around and left.
âThen you better be more careful in the future.â Zhang Hongchuan reminded him saying, âEspecially since there are people who are observing the two of you now.â
Mo Liuxi was frustrated, but he still agreed.
...
On Thursday, Yan Su flew to Singapore in the afternoon.
Christmas was almost here, so there were more and more events all over the country and overseas. That afternoon, Yan Su ran downstairs the moment her last class ended.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Halfway there, she bumped into An Ning coming down from the stairs. Yan Su didnât intend to greet her.
Although the two of them had never talked much, she disliked An Ning more and more.
