Chapter 980: 980
Mo Ning promptly sprinted outside with her books before the other students swarmed upon their seats . She picked the isolated and winding path outside the compound—a detour back to the building after loafing around for a good half an hour .
Nevertheless…
“Mo Ning, you having a walk?” Huo Run greeted her . The white casual outfit was extra eye-catching under the sun that somehow Huo Run’s feet moved towards her on their own .
“Yeah . ”
“Okay . ” They strolled along the walkway under the trees, “Well, congratulations, top student,” said Huo Run while giving a look at Mo Ning .
“Thanks . ” Mo Ning smiled, “Congratulations to you too, the student who gets topped by me . ”
Topped .
Okay, that sounds—very wrong .
Huo Run wanted to return Mo Ning a glare yet Mo Ning’s puppy eyes lustered in mischief were too attractive to offend . Her heart raced but she got to act normal, “I just wanted to know if you have somebody else in your family, like a sister or a brother . Don’t get me wrong, it’s just…just a random question . Nothing else . ”
“Hmmm…” Mo Ning responded calmly even though she was sneering on the inside . That question only informed her that Huo Run had yet been convinced by her background .
“Okay! Shut up if you want . ” The awkward silence angered the princess .
“Well, I only have a mother . ” Mo Ning put one hand into her pocket as she straightened her body to look formal, “I’ve been living in Country Y for the past 18 years, even though my mother originates from Country Z . She brought me here as a way to revisit my roots, she said . Is there anything else you would like to know? I’ll tell you everything I know . ”
Huo Run rolled her eyes, “Nothing . There’s nothing I want to know about you . Hmph . ”
“Really?” Mo Ning chuckled and they both proceeded walking in silence . The wind of the season stroke their faces like a gentle mother but there was one particular breeze that messed up Mo Ning’s fringe . She smiled as playful as a child, watching her hair dancing before her eyes while she tried to tame them .
That one moment was captured by Huo Run’s glance . She could hear her heart beating .
He’s just a simple boy .
The statement rang in her head .

What is this feeling?
People have been going after me since I was born . I don’t have to initiate anything . I don’t have to plea someone for something . I once thought Mo Ning would come after me by hook or by crook .
And now, look at me . My heart is racing like a train but he’s unmoved .
“Stop . ” Mo Ning’s cold voice brought her back to reality .
“Mhm?” Huo Run held her steps and watched the pretty boy reach his hand towards her . Her eyes enlarged dramatically as she held her breath for a moment . She then closed her eyes, her body mysteriously froze .
Was it a pat?
It was not a pat .
“There’s a leaf on your head . ” Huo Run opened her eyes again only to see a little maple leaf fluttering in Mo Ning’s grip .

Ugh! What was I thinking?!
“Did you just blush?” Asked Mo Ning with one brow raised .
Shut up!
“…” Huo Run gave Mo Ning a hideous glare before storming away from the scene .
Mo Ning chuckled and tailed after her with a haunting whisper uttered by her lips,
“Don’t get mad, how about we go somewhere tonight?”
Huo Run refused to speak till the boy added, “Golden City . Only the two of us . ”

Huo Run continued making a few steps ahead before she stopped and agreed, “O-okay . ”
“Say…School gate, 7 o’clock tonight?”
“Okay . ” Mo Ning watched the girl leaving the place before completely putting her plastic smile away .
She was cold, unlike before .
