An Chuxia lets out a long sigh as a taxi stops in front of them, and the passengers exit the vehicle .
She subconsciously tugs on Nangong Zifei’s hand to get into the vehicle, but he shakes off her hand .
She looks at him strangely . His look is complex . She looks at the cab again, and another person occupies the vehicle instead .
“Sorry . ” Nangong Zifei flashes her a look of remorse . It is something An Chuxia won’t understand . “I’m just not accustomed to anyone touching me . ”
Does he mean no one touches him on a frequent basis? Is he an alien? When An Chuxia scratches her head, she says, “I don’t care . ” Awkward silence falls as they wait for transport .
During that time, An Chuxia uses the light to look at Nangong Zifei . The fact that she thinks this isn’t the same person she met is amazing . Seeing him covered with blood, then saying it’s not his . But the next time they meet, he sits in a luxury car to meet her and says the car isn’t loaned . But it’s not his own . Or is it? When she met him for the first time, he couldn’t even pay for the cab fare .
This is the third time they’ve met, and he is about to attend the same high school with her .
He isn’t easy to know . He’s a mystery .
She sighs when an empty taxi finally stops before them . An Chuxia asks to be driven to Stein College, and from there, she’ll return in the Han family car . During that period, Nangong Zifei doesn’t say a word, but only says a thank you when he exits the cab .

On the tennis court, similar-looking faces are sweating . They have both played hundreds of rounds, but they can’t tell who’s winning or losing .
The cell phone that has been set aside rings suddenly . Xiao Mingluo is distracted . The tennis ball hits him on the forehead . The ball bounces to the ground and rolls for a while before stopping .
“I concede . ” Xiao Mingluo tosses the racket, and smiles helplessly .
“No, you’re distracted . ” Xiao Mingyuan shakes his head and puts down his racket . Xiao Mingluo looks at the the phone, picks it up, and heads to the chairs . He taps the answer button .
An Chuxia’s voice clearly rings from the other end of the phone . “I’ve done your bidding . You owe me, remember that . Now I’m going to ponder what that would be, but be prepared to keep your promise . ”
Xiao Mingluo looks at Mingyuan, who is drinking mineral water . Retracting his gaze, he raises his mouth and asks, “Is it necessary for me to meet you now?”
“I’m forcing you to meet me!” An Chuxia says in agner . “Seriously, I need you to check up on a person . His name is Nangong Zifei . He’s the transfer student you asked me to pick up . I think… he’s very mysterious . ”
“I see, An Chuxia . Are you asking me to check up on him because he’s handsome and he’d made you feel silly? If Han Qilu finds out that you asked me to investigate on an outsider for you, he’ll be furious . ” Xiao Mingluo takes a big drink from the bottle his brother hands him .
“Would you help me?” An Chuxia asks angrily .
Xiao Mingluo stops teasing her and becomes serious . “Well, I’ll report to you when we meet tonight . ”
He hangs up the phone to catch his brother staring at him thoughtfully . He wanted to say something until his brother said…
(what did his brother say????)
