Cen Bai’s fox-like eyes merely swept past her before looking at Xue Xi. He politely greeted, “Sister Xi.”

Then, he turned to look at Qin Shuang. His eyes were filled with love and his tone was a little playful. “Girlfriend, why didn’t you answer my call?”

Xue Yao: “?”

She felt that she must be hallucinating!

She widened her eyes in disbelief and stared at Cen Bai…

Girlfriend… Xue Yao followed his gaze and looked at Qin Shuang. She saw that Qin Shuang’s face was red and that her eyes were shining.

Xue Yao was stunned.

She looked at them in disbelief. She was so shocked that her mouth was agape. She reached out and pointed at Qin Shuang. “You, you, you and him… You…”

Qin Shuang had already rushed to Cen Bai’s side. When she stood in front of him, her face revealed a hint of shyness. When she heard Xue Yao’s words, she said, “That’s right. This is my boyfriend. I’m sorry. I’m not sure what will happen to you and Fan Han in the future, but my dream has been realized~”

After saying that, she held Cen Bai’s arm and looked up at him. “Something happened just now. Why are you here so early?”

Cen Bai nodded. “Mhm. The production team has finished filming. I didn’t want to stay there for another minute. I just wanted to meet you, so I came over.”

After the two of them finished speaking, Cen Bai looked at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, shall we have lunch together later?”

Xue Xi knew that Cen Bai would come today, so she had already called Xiang Huai and planned for the four of them to have a meal together.

Xue Xi nodded when she heard this. She packed her bag and walked over. When the three of them left the room, Xue Yao was still standing on the spot and finding it unbelievable.

How… How was this possible?!

Qin Shuang was so ordinary. How could she catch someone like Cen Bai?

Although Cen Bai was an actor, his family was also wealthy. This was also where he got his confidence to be so willful in the entertainment industry!

How could Qin Shuang… be better than her?

She had originally thought that the boyfriend she’d found was already the best, but she did not expect that even Xue Xi, who had caught the founder of the God of Fortune Group, could actually surpass Cen Bai?!

Xue Yao clenched her fists in anger. Thinking that her engagement with Fan Han was about to be annulled, she kicked the table, but her leg hurt.

She clutched her feet and squatted down. Hugging her knees, she cried.

…

For lunch that day, the four of them chose to eat at a pickled fish restaurant outside the school. This pickled fish restaurant had been open for many years and the food was very delicious.

The four of them sat opposite each other. Xue Xi asked, “Where are you guys going for the new year?”

The chatterbox had fallen out with her family and would not go back during the new year. She had agreed with Xue Xi that she would spend the new year with Cen Bai.

This was also the reason Cen Bai came today.

The Year Three study-slaves were not worthy of having a winter vacation. They only had seven days of leave, and school would start on the sixth day of the new year, so they could not go too far.

Moreover, Qin Shuang had been studying non-stop for the college entrance examination and would not delay even during these next seven days.

Cen Bai said, “I bought a house in Bin City and plan to spend the new year with Xiao Shuang. On the day of the new year, we’ll go visit you guys!”

Seeing that the two of them would not go far, Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, Qin Shuang was still a third-year student. She was also afraid that something would happen to Cen Bai if he brought her along.

After Cen Bai said that, he turned to look at Xiang Huai. “Mr. Xiang… Where are you celebrating the new year?”

Xue Xi turned to look at him.

Qian Xin had left and said that he would be going home for the new year. This was what Qian Zheng had told her.

Qian Xin had come to Bin City for that mathematics question. After getting the answer, he naturally left. Qian Zheng had followed him to Bin City to play, but before leaving, she reluctantly said that she would wait for Xue Xi in the capital.

What about Xiang Huai?

Did he have a family?

Hearing Cen Bai’s words, Xiang Huai smiled. “It depends on my mood.”

Cen Bai stopped asking and changed the topic. “How did you do for the monthly examination?”

…

They chatted as they ate. Soon, it was 2 PM.

After lunch, the four of them went to the house Cen Bai bought. In the end, they realized that… the neighborhood Cen Bai bought was actually in Xue Xi’s neighborhood!

Qin Shuang was overjoyed.

She grabbed Xue Xi’s hand and chattered non-stop. Actually, she was a little afraid of living with Cen Bai, but after realizing that they were in the same neighborhood, this uneasiness slowly dissipated.

After sending the two of them to their accommodation, Xiang Huai sent Xue Xi home.

Qin Shuang and Cen Bai also entered the house. Seeing Cen Bai go upstairs and place her luggage in the master bedroom, Qin Shuang heaved a sigh of relief.

She could not help but recall the night Cen Bai had confessed in the capital.

Actually, it was not considered a confession.

She had sprained her waist during the dance practice that day, but she had had to endure the pain and continue practicing. The pain made her unable to straighten her body.

After Xue Xi had left, she was all alone.

That night, her fatigue during this period had crushed her. She squatted on Cen Bai’s sofa and cried.

Later, Cen Bai called her as usual. When he asked about her situation, he heard that something was amiss and rushed back overnight.

However, when he entered the neighborhood, he was spotted and followed by the paparazzi. When Cen Bai found out that she had sprained her waist, he brought her for rehabilitation treatment. When he got into the car, he held her waist and was accidentally photographed. The reporters then said that she was Cen Bai’s mysterious girlfriend.

She still remembered that day. When she saw the trending topic, she was stunned. She felt guilty after causing trouble for her idol. Just as she was about to clarify, Cen Bai said, “Do you want to make it public?”

Qin Shuang was stunned. “What?”

Cen Bai smiled. “You’re not willing?”

Not willing what?

At that time, Qin Shuang took a while to realize that he was subtly asking if she was willing to be his girlfriend.

She nodded in a daze and said that she was willing…

Until now, she still felt that it was a beautiful dream.

However, if this was really a dream, she was willing to never wake up.

…

Xue Xi and Xiang Huai walked home. The weather was cold, but there were many plants in this area. There were tens of thousands of greenery on both sides of the road.

The two of them walked on the path paved with small stones. Looking at the surrounding villas, Xue Xi was silently memorizing the chemistry formula when she suddenly heard Xiang Huai sigh. “I’m really envious of Cen Bai.”

Xue Xi: “?”

Xiang Huai looked at her and said lazily, “They’re progressing really fast.”

Xue Xi: “…”

Indeed, it was quite fast.

However, the chatterbox’s situation was special and different. She did not have a family to accompany her for the new year, so it was normal for Cen Bai to come and stay with her.

The corners of her lips twitched. Just as she was about to say something, Xiang Huai’s phone suddenly rang. He took a look and answered the call helplessly.

The other party seemed to be asking him what he was doing. Xiang Huai glanced at Xue Xi and said, “Accompanying my girlfriend.”

The other party instantly became agitated. After they said something, Xiang Huai replied, “I’ll ask her.”

After saying that, he turned to look at Xue Xi and asked, “She wants to ask you for your number. Do you want to tell her?”

Xue Xi was a little surprised. Is this Xiang Huai’s friend? Is it Canine Teeth or Qian Xin?

Hence, she nodded and asked, “Who is it?”

Xiang Huai: “My mother.”

Xue Xi’s hand trembled.
