But photos of Yan Rusheng were scarce, and if there are some, Wen Xuxu would always be together with him.

She randomly clicked on a photo of Yan Rusheng hugging Xuxu as they sat on the carousel. He wrapped his long, strong limbs around Xuxu’s slender waist.

Bai Jing began to think of how blissful and romantic it must be.

She closed her eyes slowly... trying to imagine. She pictured herself as Xuxu, sitting together with him, with soft music playing in the background. She could almost catch a faint whiff of his smell.

A gentle and faint smile played at the corners of her mouth.

At that moment, the bathroom door swung open.

Bai Jing was instantly jolted back to her senses when she heard the sound. She went back to her usual self in a split second.

Su Yue stood outside the bathroom, holding a toothbrush in her hand. “What did my third brother say?” Su Yue asked as she brushed her teeth.

Bai Jing replied, “He is coming to fetch you in the afternoon. So he asked you to wait for him.”

“Hmmm...” Su Yue furrowed her eyebrows. “I can take a taxi though.”

With a tinge of jealousy laced in her voice, she said, “You don’t know how blissful you are to have someone coming here to pick you up.”

Su Yue smiled, she then glared at Bai Jing with a playful frown. “Alright! I thought you have an exam? Why aren’t you studying? Are you planning to fail?”

“Do you think I’m you?” Bai Jing teased Su Yue and continued, “I heard that someone handed in their paper in less than half an hour—which was faster than the top student.”

Su Yue smirked and said, “Oh please, the exam is already over, so it doesn’t make a difference even if you nag. Don’t you know I’m fearless? Or are you thinking of following in my footsteps?”

Oh dear. The news of her handing in her paper after half an hour had spread around?

Bai Jing stifled her laughter. “I shall try not to submit in less than half an hour.”

She continued to tease her.

“You’re making fun of me!” Su Yue clenched her teeth as she hissed, “I shall wait patiently for the day you would do the same as me.”

“Sure.” An idea struck Bai Jing and she put on an annoyed expression. “I thought you were giving me a treat today?”

Su Yue replied, “Alright, let’s eat together with my third brother in the afternoon.”

Bai Jing smiled. “I shall make sure I end in half an hour just for this treat.”

Su Yue nodded. “Okay, I’m looking forward.”

Bai Jing glanced at her watch and realized that it was almost time. She said hastily to Su Yue, “I need to go now. If not, I won’t be able to finish in half an hour.”

She quickly strode across the room after patting Su Yue’s shoulders.

Su Yue followed Bai Jing to the door and yelled after her, “I’m waiting for you to return in victory!”

Bai Jing turned around and vanished before Su Yue’s eyes.

Su Yue went back to the room and closed the door. She was about to walk towards the bathroom.

Suddenly her phone rang again. She ignored her phone after glancing at it.

She didn’t intend to pick up.

Her phone rang for a long time before the call ended.

The room fell silent.

Su Yue stared at the phone in a daze. After a while, she went into the bathroom and shut the door. Even though she was all alone in the room, it was her habit to close the door after her.

She stood before the mirror and rinsed her mouth.

She straightened her back slowly to look at her reflection.

She touched her face and her hand moved down to her collar. She tugged at it, revealing the red scar on her chest.

Her heart was thudding.
