They laughed as they ran .
Xuxu watched the boy and girl, and she fell into deep thought . She recalled how she had behaved around Yan Rusheng before, and the scenario she just witnessed seemed to have happened before .
She had liked him so much, but because of her pride and her fear of rejection, she appeared nonchalant on the surface . Then once she caught his weak spot, she would make sure she made a huge fuss about it .
“Third sister-in-law, let’s go . ”
Xuxu was smiling, and she was in a deep daze . Su Yue called her and she finally snapped out . She then nodded . “Alright . ”
She got into the car and Su Yue sat beside her .
The car door shut, and Xuxu looked at Su Yue . “Yueyue, your classmates want to attend your birthday party . Why don’t you allow them to attend?”
Although she had changed a lot, she still didn’t seem to enjoy interacting with people .
Su Yue pouted . “I don’t like them . ”
She lowered her head and took out a lollipop from her bag . She unwrapped the lollipop and stuffed it inside her mouth .
Xuxu realized that Su Yue seemed to have a liking towards lollipops these days . She stared at Su Yue before she asked, “Do you have any friends?”
Su Yue heard and her eyes gleamed . “Can I bring her along?”
That meant she had already made some friends, and it pleased Xuxu . She nodded to agree . “Certainly! You can bring her back home at any time . ”
It overjoyed Su Yue . “That’s great . ”
“Your friend is your classmate?”
It was the first friend Su Yue told her about, and Xuxu was curious who her friend was .
Su Yue nodded . “Yes, she just transferred to our school last week . ”
It puzzled Xuxu, so she wore a frown . “She just transferred?”
It was the college entrance examinations next month .
Su Yue understood why Xuxu was puzzled and explained, “She might need to stay a grade behind, so she could take the exams next year . ”
Xuxu continued . “Oh, is she a boy or a girl?”
“A girl . She said that her family is not very well-to-do . ” Su Yue sounded rather sympathetic as she carried on, “Her father is working at a construction site, and she lost her mother when she was young . ”
It thoroughly confused Xuxu . How could she attend Flourish & Splendor then? And she had just transferred to Flourish & Splendor . Without certain connections or background, how would she be able to do that?
She thought of a movie and concluded that special exceptions could also happen in reality .
With that thought, she wasn’t that surprised . “Invite her tomorrow then . ”
“Okay!” Su Yue smiled as she snuggled against Xuxu . “Third sister-in-law, thank you . You are the best . ”
Xuxu bowed her head and smiled fondly at her .
They reached the restaurant and went into a private room . At that moment, Xuxu’s phone rang .
She answered the call .
Yan Rusheng asked, “Which room is it?”
“Oh, you’re here?” His announcement pleasantly surprised Xuxu . “We are in room No . 8, but it’s not that easy to locate . Wait at the staircase for me . I’ll meet you there . ”
She walked to the door .
And she turned towards the staircase as she exited the room .
They were at a specialty restaurant . Although it wasn’t huge, there were many winding corridors and corners, hence it was a bit difficult to locate the rooms .
“Yan Rusheng!”
Yan Rusheng had just reached the staircase and was about to step on the step when a crystal-clear voice echoed .
He frowned with annoyance and halted his footsteps . He was about to turn around .
A slender figure swiftly flew towards him that he didn’t have time to react .
The strong scent of perfume that he loathed assailed his nostrils and the next moment, a pair of hands wound themselves around his neck .
Then a pair of legs gripped unto his waist—a woman tightly hung onto him like an octopus .
