The next day, Zhou Sulun received a call from Bai Suqing in the early morning .

“Mr . Zhou…” Bai Suqing was shy and reserved as usual .
Usually, this kind of voice would have caused Zhou Sulun to feel pity, but all he could think of was Mu Rulan . She had the same gentle voice, but she carried no lack of confidence, and whenever he thought of her his heart would pound .
The feeling was much different when compared to what Bai Suqing elicited .
He had been silly to believe with just one sentence from Bai Suqing that she was going to do the dishes, having him imagine that Mu Rulan was the evil stepsister .
“Miss Bai, do you need something?”
Miss Bai? Translated by The Novelst
Bai Suqing clenched her fist, recalling Zhou Sulun’s meeting with Mu Rulan . Starting then, he had distanced himself from her but cozied up to Mu Rulan .
She bit her lip and said, “Mr . Zhou, I… You… Could you lend me some money?”
Bai Suqing, thinking she could subdue Zhou Yaya, had spent quite a bit of money on the hooligans and the drugs as well . She was all out of money .
Zhou Sulun paused . “What?” His words dripped with disbelief . As the foster daughter of the Mu Family, she was out of money?

Bai Suqing seemed to be crying . “S-Sorry . I called home for my sister but the butler said my sister isn’t feeling well, so she can’t speak . But I… S-Sorry . If it’s inconvenient then nevermind, I…”
“Wait, how much do you need?” When Zhou Sulun heard Bai Suqing mention Mu Rulan, he interrupted her .
Money wasn’t a big deal . Bai Suqing was Mu Rulan’s little sister . Before this he was thinking of ways to get closer to Mu Rulan . If he lent money to Bai Suqing, Mu Rulan might owe him a favor .
Bai Suqing, unseen on the other end of the line, pulled up a sneer . She would be going to G City to speak with TMT Universal Entertainment . If the contract was good enough she would sign it .
She calculated the fares needed and the amount she would need for self-care, and came to an amount: “O-One million… Is that okay?”
One million?! That wasn’t chump change . Zhou Sulun didn’t ask why she needed the money, only thinking of ways to use this to get closer to Mu Rulan .
“Send me your account details . I’ll transfer it to you . ”
Bai Suqing sent the information over quickly and in a few minutes she received a notification from the bank . Zhou Sulun had really transferred one million to her .
Bai Suqing looked in the mirror at herself, both her cheeks still scratched up like cat whiskers, eyes dark . Mu Rulan, Zhou Yaya – what you owe me, I’ll make you pay up double!
……
Duan Yao brought food for Mu Rulan .

Mu Rulan leaned back in her bed, watching Duan Yao inspect her puppet collection in her display . She squinted at him – was the person she saved really this Duan Yao?
The reason she had rescued Duan Yao was because she saw her past self in him . Though he was stupidly stubborn, he was his real self .
But what had happened? After her stay in the hospital for a few months, the Duan Yao she saw had changed .
The Duan Yao she had saved was stubborn, hot tempered, and easy to see through .
But the Duan Yao in front of her now was lazy, mysterious, and hard to read .
“Who are you giving this to?” Duan Yao grabbed a beautifully wrapped present in the display . Wouldn’t this also be a puppet?
Mu Rulan swallowed her fishball and replied, “There’s an aunt that has admired my puppets for a long time . It’s almost time that I give one to her . ”
“Aunty?” Duan Yao returned the gift to its place .
“Which reminds me, today isn’t Sunday . Duan Tongxue really skipped class to come visit the president – do you think this is okay?”
“And this president is eating the food delivered by such a bad student who skipped class,” he said, a hint of a smile visible .
He walked to her messy desk, flipping through a few completed practice exams on top of the stack of thick books . Then he stopped, noticing something .

It was a draft… for a human puppet doll .
On white A4 paper, there was a lifelike drawing of a man’s body . The man looked to be 1 . 9 meters tall, with a strong butcher’s physique . His limbs were tangled in threads, twisting him into an odd posture .
Duan Yao looked at the drawing, his tone undisturbed: “When did you learn to draw?”
“My art has always been great,” she said, lifting her head to scan the draft in Duan Yao’s hand without changing her expression .
“You want to design clothes?”
Mu Rulan shook her head .
“Then why draw a human body? Such an ugly body… If you’re looking for a model, shouldn’t you find someone like me?”
“Hehe…” she chuckled softly, shaking her head .
“Why did you draw this?” He saw that there was the word ‘Jin’ inscribed in the corner of the paper . It was a beautiful picture – wasn’t it drawn by Mu Rulan?
“You can’t tell? It’s a human puppet doll design,” she smiled deeply . “As a puppet designer, isn’t it normal to design the pose that best suits him?”
“Tsk,” Duan Yao threw the draft back on the desk . “This designer is a freak . ”
“Is that so?” Mu Rulan turned away .
Duan Yao was disinterested, “I heard there’s a star coming to our school to shoot an MV . If you don’t want to see liu Silan in a mess, you should get well and come back soon . ”
“Hm? Who?” Mu Rulan was surprised .
“Dong Sixuan . ”
Dong Sixuan, huh… In the past, Dong Sixuan had come to Liu Silan to shoot for his music video . At that time, she had also come to watch with his fans, but in actuality she was only able to see his golden hair and body from afar .
But what concerned her now was that when he first entered their school the female population became so excited that there was a stampede . Two girls who were smaller in size were trampled and died .
Dong Sixuan’s charm was indeed enormous: he was a dangerous person .
“When is it?” Mu Rulan asked . Translated by The Novelst
“I heard it’s going to be next Saturday . ”
“Alright, got it . ” As the leader of Liu Silan High School, how could she allow an outsider to disturb the order? No can do ya .
