The next day, after Ming Shu finished school, Xuan Ge predicted her time of arrival and came to find her with the tutoring materials.

Ming Shu’s gaze landed on his waist.

Isn’t this little demon afraid of pain?

Why does he look like nothing happened…

There were two chairs in the room now. Xuan Ge sat in one of the chairs.

“We will be studying physics today.” Xuan Ge put down the books.

“Oh.”

Ming Shu kept stealing glances at him as he spoke.

The tutoring session lasted for two hours. Ming Shu always daydreamed for a while before admiring the little demon’s handsome face. Time flew.

Xuan Ge finished the tutoring session and started packing up.

“Did you change your bandage?”

Xuan Ge looked at her. He thought of something. “Sorry to trouble you, Young Miss.”

Ming Shu: “…”

You sounded quite natural when you asked me that.

The medicine was in Xuan Ge’s room so Ming Shu followed him.

The broken glass had been replaced.

Xuan Ge sat on his bed and leaned back. He placed one hand behind him and took off his clothes with the other hand. The bandage on his waist was revealed.

Ming Shu took off the bandage and reapplied the medicine.

She suddenly raised her hand the poked the edge of the wound.

Xuan Ge grabbed her hand. The clothes dropped down and covered their hands.

Ming Shu raised her head. “I thought that you didn’t feel pain.”

Xuan Ge released his grip slightly. “I’m human. I can feel pain.”

“I can’t tell.”

Xuan Ge pulled his clothes up again. He said calmly, “I’m just used to it.”

Ming Shu blinked. “Do you frequently get injured?”

“Rarely.”

Ming Shu looked up.

Xuan Ge’s gaze was unfocused. He looked at her. “I’m very powerful.”

Ming Shu clicked her tongue. “I can’t see that.”

Xuan Ge: “…”

This was just a coincidence!

Of course, he didn’t say that.

Ming Shu smeared the medicine and bandaged him up again.

She wrapped the bandaged around his waist.

Xuan Ge was not used to it. He leaned back slightly.

“Don’t move. So irritating!”

Xuan Ge: “…”

After bandaging him up, Ming Shu threw the items aside. “Clean it up yourself.”

Xuan Ge watched as Ming Shu left. He was in a daze.

She seemed enthusiastic and cold toward him at the same time. Like now…

She could leave without looking back.

Xuan Ge shook the weird thoughts out of his head.

Whether she looked back or not had nothing to do with him.

He only promised Uncle Yi he would protect her.

Xuan Ge tidied his room. He examined his gun again and made sure that it was fine.

He thought for a while before contacting Wei Yi.

He leaned against the bed and said, “How’s Su Qi?”

“He is recovering well. Boss, where are you?”

“On a mission.”

“Is it dangerous?” Wei Yi asked. “Do you need our help?”

“No need.” Xuan Ge rejected him directly. He paused before saying, “Bai Hao came to find me today. Take note of his actions. If he does anything, inform me.”

“F**k!”

Wei Yi cursed.

Su Qi took over the call. “Boss, that bastard Bai Hao is a traitor! I want to kill him!”

“Lie back down!” Wei Yi snatched the cellphone back. “Boss, the organization will not let us off. Let’s make the first move.”

“They wouldn’t. You all just need to watch out for Bai Hao.”

Xuan Ge was firm.

He gave them a few more orders before hanging up.

Just as he was about to sleep, a servant knocked on his door.

“Mr. Xuan, Young Miss asked us to make some midnight snacks and couldn’t finish. She said that it would be a waste so she ordered us to send it to you.”

Xuan Ge was stunned for a moment.

He nodded. “Put it down.”

The servant put the bowl down. Xuan Ge waited for the servant to leave before getting up.

He looked at the bowl. It was filled with soup. For the soup to be this color… it needed to be boiled for a few hours.

This was definitely not made recently.

Of course, she could have ordered her midnight snacks to be prepared long ago.

However, drinking soup in the middle of the night… what a unique taste.

Xuan Ge didn’t feel like eating because he didn’t have the habit of eating supper.

But, he still drank the soup.

Ming Shu changed his bandage for him every day for the next few days.

The servants would also send him various items using different excuses.

It might be true that she couldn’t finish the food the first time and the second time, but it happened all the time…

The next morning when Ming Shu went to school, she met Shu Xue at the school gate.

Shu Xue hummed and entered the school like a proud peacock. She was wearing a pair of leather shoes.

Ming Shu calmly took a bite of her pancake and stepped into the school building.

She reached the classroom. Shu Xue was not there.

She sat in her seat. Someone came over to collect her homework. The person spoke in an extremely soft voice as though she was afraid Ming Shu would hit her. “Erm… homework.”

“There is homework?” Ming Shu asked the student with a puzzled look.

Her bag was full of snacks. There was no homework.

The student: “…”

“Let me copy the answers.”

Ming Shu smiled brightly. Her eyes were clear and bright. Her gaze was like the warm breeze in spring.

The student felt her heart pounding faster. Her smile was so beautiful…

She placed a book down. “Hurry up… lesson is starting.”

She turned and went to collect other people’s homework.

Ming Shu finished copying her homework just before the lesson started. Shu Xue walked into the classroom when the bell rang.

She glanced at Ming Shu and sat down with a cold face.

Ming Shu received a letter when lesson ended.

Her classmate brought it in.

Her name was written in the letter.

It looked like a love letter.

Ming Shu: “???”

I can get love letters too?

Am I dreaming?

She was isolated by her classmates because she was said to have psychosis.

No one would call her for any class activities. You could imagine how the people in other classes treated her.

To the other students, she was probably a lunatic that would go crazy at any moment.

Hence, receiving a love letter was like the sun rising from the west.

Ming Shu opened the letter.

It was indeed a love letter. The words were written like a poem.

The person asked her for a date at the fake mountain behind their school on Friday.

A young man’s name was written at the bottom of the paper.

Ming Shu smiled.

Interesting.

Someone dared to give me a love letter.

When school ended, Ming Shu slowly walked out of the school.

Shu Xue was with her friends. They were walking in front of her.

Ming Shu heard what they were saying.

“Xue’er, did you change your car recently? What happened to the car before?”

“Erm… there was some problem. It’s under repair.”

The girl just asked casually so she didn’t probe further.

Their topics kept changing as they walked toward the school gate.

When they had almost reached the school gate, Shu Xue pretended to take a call. “Late? Fine, I’ll go back myself.”

“What happened?”

“My chauffeur is caught in a jam.” Shu Xue smiled.

“Do you want to take my car?” one of the girls asked.

“No need.” Shu Xue quickly rejected her. She didn’t dare to let them send her to her current house.

“It’s okay. I used to take your car all the time.” The girl insisted on Shu Xue. “Xue’er, is it because my car is not as good as yours?”

“N… no.”

Just as Shu Xue was trying to find an excuse, a black car slowly drove forward and stopped in front of Shu Xue.
