His heart fluttered. Mo Liuxiâs mind blanked for a split second. Yan Su was distracted as well until voices of their classmates could be heard in the corridor.
âI have to go to class,â Mo Liuxi said as he regained his senses.
He kept the leaf in his pocket as he turned to leave the room. When he opened the door, An Ning was standing there with a blank face. She looked over at Yan Su, who was putting her guitar away.
Mo Liuxi frowned and walked around her without stopping.
âSenior!â An Ning ran after him. âDo you like Yan Su senior?â
âIâm just talking to her regarding music.â Mo Liuxi stopped in his tracks and turned to coldly look at her. âItâs not your business who I like anyway. I already made things clear to you.â
âIâve never seen you so patient with any other girl,â An Ning said, recalling what she saw through the window just now. âIs it really because she is Luosangâs friend?â
âWhy are you so bothersome?â Mo Liuxiâs temples were throbbing.
Luckily, he didnât accept her feelings. She was so controlling even though they werenât a couple.
âI... I...â An Ning was on the brink of tears. âI just care too much about you.â
âThere are many women who care about me,â Mo Liuxi angrily said. âDo I have to concern myself with everyoneâs feelings whenever I interact with someone? Canât I have a friend of the opposite gender? Itâs none of your business who I date anyway. You should really learn from your sister. How could you be so different even though you are siblings? Donât go spouting nonsense in front of Yan Su.â
An Ning bit her lip hard as she watched him stalk away. She only turned to leave when Mo Liuxi was out of her sight. She bumped into Yan Su, who was just leaving the music room.
âAn Ning...â Yan Su felt uncomfortable when she saw An Ning glaring at her with hatred.
Was there another misunderstanding?
âSenior Yan, I dare to admit that I like Liuxi, but what about you? Is it so difficult to admit to it?â An Ning asked through gritted teeth, âYou are already so popular, so why do you have to come after my Liuxi?â
Yan Su was good-tempered, but she was annoyed at An Ning. âIf you are going to have this kind of attitude, I donât think you will ever win his heart. In fact, you are going to push him further away. Donât blame others for your own failure.â
She turned to leave. She wrongly assumed that An Ning was dating Mo Liuxi, and she had felt bad for that. But she had never misspoke about her ever. An Ning on the other hand was always quick to attack her and jump to conclusions. She now sympathized with Mo Liuxi. She thought that they could at least get to know one another, but this girl was just plain petty and jealous.
...
At 4 p.m., there was a seminar discussion for the performance faculty. They were divided into four groups for discussion.
Mo Liuxi was lazily leaning on his chair. His feet were on the table, and his eyes closed. He wasnât participating in the discussion. He didnât look interested one bit.
Zhang Hongchuan nudged him and said, âHey, you should at least show that youâre participating. We have to write a report on this later.â
âThis is a piece of cake for me,â Mo Liuxi said and turned away.
Zhang Hongchuan was momentarily speechless. He finally said, âGive me your phone. I want to show everyone the clip that you showed me last time.â
âTake it yourself,â Mo Liuxi said.
Zhang Hongchuan reached into his pocket. A dried leaf fell out of his pocket.
âF*ck, what are you doing with a leaf in your pocket?â he asked.
