“What did you understand?” Mo Ning raised her brows in confusion.
“Not telling ya.” Liu Beibei giggled as she glanced upon the scarf she gifted Mo Ning. She knew, unless it was hot weather or something had happened, that she would never take it off.
“Ning, whatever you do, I’ll be on your side. You don’t have to apologize.”
Okay, Beibei. You aren’t that simple-minded Snow White as I imagined. You notice things.
You’re the sensible type. Just like Huo Junyu. Both of you can tell and believe that there is nothing between me and Huo Run.
“Thank you very much,” Mo Ning whispered, rubbing Beibei’s head as she smiled like the morning sun. She might fall in love with Beibei if she was biologically a boy.
“No touchie.” Liu Beibei slapped her hand away and that caused Mo Ning to laugh like a lark.
“Ahem!” That was when someone came by the door.
It was Huo Run in her pearl-white dress. She did not say a word but her expression told a thousand words about her feelings. She passed Liu Beibei a glance as she marched before Mo Ning and tossed a bottle of cream onto the table.
“Take it.” She looked at Mo Ning and added, “This is an ointment used for curing open wounds. Ordinary folks don’t get this, except those associated with the military,” she said with pride which even fools could comprehend.
Mo Ning beamed at her as she took the ointment. “Don’t have to do this for me, we are boyfriend and girlfriend after all.” Huo Run blushed upon hearing the statement, even though she remained expressionless. “Mhm,” she muttered while giving a final look at Liu Beibei, “By the way, Mo Ning, behave yourself, okay?”
“Tsk.” Mo Ning spat while spinning her pen. She passed a look at Huo Run. Her reply rang in a familiar, laid-back manner, “Why? Are you envious?”
The question made Huo Run glare at her before she flattened her lips and headed back to her seat like a storm.
Mo Ning could not stop checking out Huo Run. Her lips lifted mischievously. It was until the white princess warned her through her eyes, Mo Ning withdrew her gaze.
And there Liu Beibei was looking at the princess sympathetically.
Mo Ning probably can tell that I sympathize with this girl.
She was pampered to a point that her pride blinded her common sense. She thought she’s the princess in our classroom. Mo Ning can be that bad boy who would make an interesting match with her but at some point that ‘opposite does attract’ would stop working.
She never put down her pride. Every word spells an attitude.
Mo Ning shrugged upon perceiving Liu Beibei’s gesture.
I have no interest in training a young lady with parenting issues into something belonging to me.
Even though Huo Run and I had something going on since last night, I don’t intend to do anything. I wouldn’t reject her. I wouldn’t flirt with her either. She’s just an acquaintance and a friend at most.
Mo Ning was doing things within the boundary as she only delivered Huo Run a brief smile at most. She never spoke with Huo Run either.
Soon, weeks passed and there they received their first midterm which came like a spot check by the police.
Having barely completed the treacherous questions, the students were depressed and even traumatized.
“Mo Ning!” The results were unbearable to most of them except someone.
A girl sprinted towards Mo Ning.
“I’ve checked out the results of our examination. You’re the top student in oru batch. Huo Run’s the second!”
“I see.” Mo Ning was not surprised at all.
“Thanks for informing me that.”
