Fang Jiayin was talking on the phone as she walked towards the classroom . "I picked up a handkerchief at my house . There is a picture of a cat on it . Is it yours?"
Xuxu was stunned and her expression abruptly froze . She remained rooted to the ground .
'Yan Rusheng, where is your handkerchief?'
'I won't lose it . '
'It should be somewhere in the pockets of one of my pants . I'll look for it another day . '
'I picked up a handkerchief at my house . There is a picture of a cat on it . Is it yours?'
Xuxu's eyes were glistening and slightly turned red .
Su Yue looked at her and then threw a glance at the staircase . She seemed to recall something . A streak of anger and hatred appeared in her eyes .

She extended her hand to grab Xuxu's sleeves and gently tugged it . "Third sister-in-law . "
Xuxu didn't want to give her emotions away with Su Yue around, she felt that it would tremendously affect the younger girl . She took a deep breath to recompose herself . Then she broke into a brief smile . "Let's go home . "
She held Su Yue's hand and began walking .
The icy snow fell on her face and eyelashes . The cold seemed to have penetrated her heart as well .
Su Yue intently stared at the side of Xuxu's face and she became solemn and cold .
Xuxu didn't say anything, so Su Yue bent her head and mulled to herself .
"Yueyue, I'll treat you to a feast . " Xuxu drove to a posh Western restaurant and informed her that they were eating outside today .
Su Yue was overjoyed as usual . "Great!"
Xuxu parked the car and brought Su Yue into the restaurant . She ordered several expensive dishes and even ordered a bottle of premium red wine .

It was dinner time, so the restaurant was crowded . They sat at a table near the windows .
Their food came, and the waiter helped Xuxu pour some wine in her glass . He wished them a fine evening before leaving .
Xuxu held her wineglass as she gazed at the red liquid swirling inside . Under the warm lighting, the wine sparkled .
Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes seemed masked with a layer of frosty ice .
She stared at the wineglass for a long time, but in the end, she placed the glass on the table .
Su Yue was surprised by her actions and Xuxu knew what she was thinking of . She smiled and shook her head . "I can't drink at all . I'll be drunk after a glass . "
Su Yue quipped, "You can drink a little . "
Xuxu brushed her words aside . "Yueyue, let's eat . "
She extended her hand to pick up her cutlery and gracefully started cutting the steak . Her cell phone kept ringing in her bag, but she ignored it .
When Xuxu didn't pick up, Su Yue's phone rang instead .
Surprisingly, Su Yue was even more nonchalant than Xuxu . Her phone was on the table, and she didn't even bother to glance at it .
Both of their phones took turns to ring and finally after some time, it stopped .
Xuxu grabbed her wineglass again and Su Yue lifted her head to look at her .
Xuxu smiled and asked, "Yueyue if I'm drunk, can you send me back home?"
Su Yue was confident and vigorously nodded . "Yes, of course . "
"Alright . " Xuxu broke into a contented smile and gulped down the entire glass of wine .
She was extremely sensitive to alcohol . Her body reacted quickly at the first sip .
She was giddy and she certainly she couldn't drive in that state . Su Yue supported her and they took a taxi .
…
Xuxu stood outside the courtyard and the lights in the luxurious, grand mansion were reflected in her eyes . The lights seemed to be like sparkling stars in the night sky for they glowed brilliantly .
And gradually, her eyelashes were glistening with tears .
"Miss is back . "
The butler saw them and immediately opened the gates .
Su Yue held Xuxu's hand as they walked across the courtyard and all the way to the house .
"Where did you go?"
The moment Xuxu entered the house, she bumped into Yan Rusheng . She raised her head to stare at the towering figure standing before her . Her eyes were gleaming with an unbending expression which she hasn't used in a long while .
