No matter how hard A Miao struggled, the day before school began, Shen Xinglan brought her over.

“The wardrobe here is too small and it only can hold seasonal clothes.” He had been worried about wronging her, and as he twisted his head, he saw see the little woman dropping her head sitting on the carpet.

“If you keep doing this, it will become a problem.” Shen Xinglan walked over slowly. Le Yi had lifted the restrictions the day before yesterday, so he finally got up and moved as he pleased.

A Miao held her head in her arms. “I am afraid that when I see her, I will definitely reveal the truth.”

“A Miao, she has no evidence.” Shen Xinglan went to pick her up. “If she had found something, she would have done something about it already.”

“But what if she finds evidence?” A Miao had obviously reached an impasse.

Shen Xinglan pinched her nose. “It’s not for you to deal with, it’s up to me.”

“I can’t catch my breath…” A Miao opened her mouth to breathe, but Shen Xinglan’s speed was faster, and he lowered his head and kissed her.

After a long time, touching the little woman’s flushed cheek, Shen Xinglan said earnestly, “If she really finds anything, it will not be on your head. Unless I die, no one can hurt you.”

“Don’t say die!” A Miao covered her mouth.

Shen Xinglan licked her palm. “I can block bullets from Ding V for you, what else can’t be blocked?”

“I know!” A Miao nodded vigorously. “Let’s go to the nearby supermarket to buy supplies! I’ll cook for you in the future.”

Shen Xinglan bent the corners of his mouth. “Good.”

In the evening, Le Yi and Ding V came and said since they had moved, they should celebrate.

“I’ll leave when you start studying, so this is the last time we have dinner together!” Le Yi opened the champagne. “The next time I see you, I don’t want either of you to be hurt.”

A Miao immediately spat twice. “No, no!”

“I will protect you.” Ding V stared at her. “I won’t leave City S for the moment.”

“Haha…” A Miao shivered. “You are the most dangerous one.”

When she had to report the next morning, Shen Xinglan took A Miao to the school gate.

“Be careful when you go back at noon. After the holidays are over, the company will have a lot of things to do. I’ll go back late in the coming days and you should feed yourself well.”

A Miao nodded. “Alright. You are healthy now but try not to drink!”

“Come here.” Shen Xinglan grabbed her hand at the car door.

“Huh?” A Miao leaned in dully and was pressed against the car door by him and kissed for half a day. When she came back down, her face was flushed and her mouth was swollen.

Because she did not live in the school, A Miao withdrew from the dormitory first and then went to collect the books. When she came out with the books, she saw Ji Xue.

“I heard you don’t live at school anymore?” As soon as Ji Xue came up, she asked. “Why, are you afraid I’ll trouble you?”

A Miao looked at her indifferently. “You think too much. I didn’t know you would come back.”

“Haha, you rest assured! I am the only one. Bai Lu has gone to work in her company.” Ji Xue looked at her as if she was a victor. “You don’t have to be afraid. I won’t do anything to you.”

“Delusion is a disease that must be cured.” A Miao dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

Ji Xue caught up to her with a cold face. “Then tell me, why don’t you live at school? Did Shen Xinglan buy you a house nearby?”

“What does it have to do with you?” A Miao stopped. Not surprisingly, she knew about the house and anyone with a brain could guess.

“Where is the house?” Ji Xue asked adamantly.

A Miao looked all around and reminded her, “Pay attention to the impact and look around you.”

It turned out that A Miao deliberately ran to the playground, where all the students were coming and going. People roughly recognized the identities of two people and were whispered something while pointing.

“Hmph!” Ji Xue mercilessly shot her a glare, turned, and left.

The first day was for the report, and there were no classes, so after cleaning the classroom and filling out the elective course forms, at noon, A Miao returned to her new home. Perhaps because of Murphy’s Law, when she entered the elevator, Ling Lang just came out.

“Oh good, Officer Ling!” She tried to look natural.

Ling Lang stared blankly for a moment, then smiled and said, “Don’t be so polite, just call me Ling Lang.”

“Oh!” A Miao thought about what she was holding in her left hand. “Do you want to eat some cake?”

“No, I’m rushing to the police station for a meeting.” Ling Lang nodded. “I’ll treat you to dinner when I’m free. We are neighbors.”

A Miao smiled and said, “Okay!”

“See you later.” Ling lang waved and left.

After entering the elevator, A Miao recalled her performance just now and felt that it was normal, so she calmed her heart down.

On the other side, Ling Lang started the car and was also thinking about the move just made by A Miao.

“What is she nervous about…”

A Miao did not know that Ling Lang had studied criminal psychology and behavior; she was able to determine even the slightest move.

At night, she fell asleep but opened her eyes when she heard a noise.

“You are back!”

Shen Xinglan sat by her bed with a loose tie on. “Did I wake you?”

“I have just gone to sleep. Have you eaten?”

“Don’t move. Go back to sleep. I just wanted to come in and take a look.” Shen Xinglan tucked her in, lowered his head and kissed her on the mouth. “Good night. Sleep!”

The next morning when she was having breakfast with Shen Xinglan, she told him about meeting Ling Lang yesterday.

“A Miao…” Shen Xinglan looked at her.

“Huh?” A Miao handed him some bread. “What is it? I didn’t perform well?”

Shen Xinglan pursed his lips. “Very well. Keep it up in the future.”

“Hmm!”

He had already found out Ling Lang’s identity, but he was worried she would be even more afraid if he told A Miao that she was so powerful. Therefore, Shen Xinglan decided to let A Miao think that Ling Lang was just an ordinary policeman.

“Ji Xue has come back to school.” A Miao said, “I thought that last thing would make her disappear for a long time.”

Shen Xinglan smiled sarcastically. “As long as she doesn’t care about it, others will overlook it.”

There were so many sordid things in this circle every day, but even though you wanted everyone to remember them, the people were unable to remember them.

“Don’t pay any attention to her. If she bullies you, don’t be polite, just hit her back.” Shen Xinglan was afraid of her feeling any injustice. “Don’t let yourself get hurt and don’t get angry, remember?”

A Miao nodded. “No, we are not in the same department. I will leave after school and will not meet her. Even if we do meet, I won’t let myself suffer!”

Life at school officially began, and A Miao met Ji Xue occasionally. The other party did nothing more than provoke her with her eyes or scold her innocently.

On one occasion, A Miao found Ji Xue following her. Fortunately, Shen I also followed her for protection and stopped Ji Xue halfway.

“Do you know who I am?” Ji Xue asked haughtily. “Get out of the way, or I’ll have my dad fire you.”

Shen I said with special courtesy, “Miss Ji, please leave.”

“Didn’t you hear me?” Ji Xue glared at him angrily. She could not even see A Miao’s shadow.

Shen I and several bodyguards all lined up. “Miss Ji wants to complain, we welcome it at any time. Please leave now.”

“You are just a bodyguard; how dare you order me?” Ji Xue’s hands rested on her hips. “I won’t go. If you have abilities, you can carry me!”

“Then we have committed an offense.”

Shen I waved and the bodyguards lifted up Ji Xue.

“What are you doing? Let go of me! Quick, put me down…”

No one paid any attention to her. Ji Xue went back to the Ji house crying and wailed to Bai Yongwei. “Mom, do you know what Shen Xinglan’s bodyguards did to me?”

“What were you doing to provoke his bodyguards?”

Ji Xue told the story again and finally had complaint written all over her face. “I’m going to have dad fire them all!”

“Do you mean… Shen Xinglan bought a house for A Miao near the school?” Bai Yongwei’s focus was totally different from hers.

“It must be! Otherwise, how could she not live at school but walk once being released from school?”

Bai Yongwei thought for a moment. “Does Shen Xinglan live there as well?”

“I don’t know.” Ji Xue shook her head. “But I think they must live together.”

That wretched woman must have hooked up with Shen Xinglan to go to bed. The pictures of that flashed inside her brain and her teeth were itchy with anger.

“I’ll look into this matter. Be well-behaved at school.” Bai Yongwei saw her so excited and warned her, “If you make another mistake, your father will send you abroad again. It will not be so easy to come back.”

Ji Xue grabbed Bai Yongwei’s hand and said, “Mom! Why do you want to find out where they live?”

“Stop being concerned about this.” Bai Yongwei poked her in the forehead and said, “Read attentively.”

Once April came, the temperature gradually picked up. After the first rain, A Miao received a wedding invitation from the Xia family.

“Next week, Xia Wan and Bai Youran will get engaged.” She and Shen Xinglan ate hotpot at home, and there was also Ding V, who came over for eating.

Shen Xinglan said, “I’m going to prepare a red envelope, and then we’ll go through the motions.”

“I am afraid that Xia Yongqiang will mention our engagement again.” A Miao poked at the beef on the plate. “This time, he might bring it up in public.”

“You don’t want to get engaged to me?” Shen Xinglan raised the ridge of his brows.

A Miao shot him a glare. “Can one’s engagement be the same as being forced to get engaged?”

“What he said has nothing to do with us.” Shen Xinglan smeared sesame paste on her nose. “I’ve already chosen the engagement date, and I’ll wait until you have your summer vacation.”

Ding V thought, “The meatballs are a little salty, but the tripe is delicious.”

On the weekend, the two of them attended the engagement party on time, but to A Miao’s surprise, she actually saw Zhou Xiao…

“Why are you here?” she dragged Zhou Xiao to a corner and privately asked her.

“What do you mean, why am I here?” Zhou Xiao shook off her hand. “You didn’t bring me here, but do you forbid others to bring me here?”

A Miao pursed the corners of her mouth. “Who brought you here?”

“I brought her here!”

A Miao looked back and saw Bai Lu in a golden cheongsam coming toward them slowly.

“Zhou Xiao is my friend. I brought her to the wedding. Is that okay with you?” she smiled and asked A Miao, and her eyes filled with pride.

A Miao took a deep breath and looked at her coldly. “What are you trying to do? Why are you involved with people who have nothing to do with it?”

“A Miao!” Zhou Xiao took her by the wrist. “I came here myself. You have no right to speak like that to Bai Lu.”

Bai Lu looked at the two of them and touched her white chest. “You two sisters have a good chat, I’ll go first!”
