Meng Xiaonan’s face is ruddy and shiny. At first, one would think it’s moistened by love. Compared to her, An Chuxia’s face looks haggard. She can only respond to Xiaonan’s enthusiasm with a head nod before getting to her seat.

Naturally, Meng Xiaonan doesn’t notice An Chuxia’s listlessness, and proceeds to follow her.

“An Chuxia, I have something to tell you!” After a while, An Chuxia still doesn’t put down her book, so Xiaonan anxiously reaches out for An Chuxia. “Let’s go to the rooftop.”

Xiaonan is no longer in a good mood, and An Chuxia forces out a smile. “Why do we have to go to the roof. Just say it.”

“No, this is important!” Meng Xiaonan pulls her out of the room indiscriminately.

Since both arrived in school early, they have plenty of time to talk on the rooftop.

The autumn morning is already a bit cold, not to mention they’re in such a high place. As soon as the rooftop door opens, An Chuxia sneezes loudly.

The sneeze surprises several people who are already on the rooftop.

“Who’s there?!” Someone panics.

Although it is a bit foggy, An Chuxia and Meng Xiaonan clearly see Xu Nian and her group. Some are sitting, some are standing, and Xu Nian still has a cigarette in her hand. They seem to have a painful expression on their faces. The cigarette is thrown on the ground after they take a few inhales. They’re all learning how to smoke.

Meng Xiaonan started with a good mood today. This scene makes it better. She releases An Chuxia’s hand before walking over. “Who am I? Who are you? So what if you’re all learning to smoke? Don’t you know smoking is bad?”

Xu Nian grinds her teeth. “Mind your own business.”

Meng Xiaonan feels so much better after seeing her strong reaction. She reaches out and plucks the cigarette from Xu Nian’s hand. She takes a deep drag, and exhales a smoke ring skillfully.

“Awesome… .” Someone compliments her before staring at Xu Nian.

“Jiangnan, let’s go.” An Chuxia moves forward to grab her. An Chuxia only calls her by this name occasionally: a formal occasion or when she’s serious. This time, Meng Xiaonan doesn’t listen to her and slaps her hand away. “The rooftop is a public space. Why should we leave?”

“Jiangnan.” Xu Nian looks at Xiaonan coldly. “You can’t be too arrogant. Your father is an upstart who makes his fortune in real estate. Do you think Mingluo will really be with you in the end? What a joke. You? With Mingluo? You’re two people from two worlds. It’s best to give up your dream early.”

“The person who should give up early is you, right?” Xiaonan sneers. “Even if I can’t be with him in the end, the person he’ll end up with won’t be you either.”

“Really?” Xu Nian sneers. “Then wait and see, he’s not guarding you. He’ll easily get bored and tired! Let’s go.”

Xu Nian orders her sisters to leave. The rooftop is finally left to Xiaonan and Chuxia.

An Chuxia thought Meng Xiaonan’s mood would dip, but instead, she smiles brilliantly. “The annoying flies are finally gone. Now, I can tell you!”

An Chuxia remains mute.

“Mingluo said he’s taking me to Xiao family to see his elders this weekend!” Her eyes are radiant and shiny as she makes the announcement.

“No wonder you didn’t respond to what Xu Nian said just now. But… .” An Chuxia says hesitantly, “Are you really going to the Xiao family? What would you do if they reject you?”

“Mingluo says as long as we insist, they won’t treat us badly!” Meng Xiaonan says firmly. “This time, I won’t give in again!”

An Chuxia’s heart suddenly feels empty. Even Xiaonan has gotten brave. She has shrunk instead.

“What’s wrong with you?” Xiaonan approaches her trepidatiously. “Did you watch a romance movie all night?”

An Chuxia’s face turns blue and red before saying, “What are you talking about? I fell asleep before nine o’clock… .”

“Then you must’ve been really tired. Remember to rest during lunch, and don’t tinker with your math problems.” Meng Xiaonan was about to say more when the school bell rings. They both hurry off and exit the rooftop.

The morning was calm with the exception of the girls talking about Nangong Zifei. A few girls gather around Mage and ask, “Mage, how did you meet him?”

The girls ask despite knowing Nangong Zifei and Mage will get married in the future.

An Chuxia returned to the classroom in hopes of getting a nap, but she can’t sleep because of the commotion. Meng Xiaonan went to lunch with Mingluo, and she has yet to return, Chuxia walks out and heads to the newspaper club room. Stein may be big, but there aren’t that many places she can hide.

Due to the successful recruitment, there were so many applicants. Now, she has to select members.

She thought the building would be unlocked, only to realize otherwise.

She makes calls looking for her friends out to lunch. It is then she runs into Daihu and Nangong Zifei. They seem to be talking about something seriously, so she hesitates, intending to walk with her head down, pretending not to see them.

Daihu sees her when he tilts his head. “Dimei… Chuxia!”

Chuxia notices Daihu change the way he called her from sister-in-law to her given name. She nods to Daihu quietly. “Did you just finish eating?”

He pouts. “An Chuxia, how can you ask that?”

An Chuxia coughs awkwardly.

Just when she is about to answer, Daihu asks, “Boss, how about asking Chuxia’s opinion?”

Nangong Zifei hesitates for a while before nodding doubtfully.

“What’s the matter?” An Chuxia asks, tilting her head.

Upon hearing Daihu’s story, An Chuxia finds out that both he and Zifei are favored by the physical education teacher and have been recommended to join the basketball club. Since Han Qilu is in the club, they’re both hesitating. After all, they have a bad relationship with Han Qilu. However, they’ve already agreed to join the club.

“An Chuxia, should we join?” Daihu scratches his head. “That Han Qilu… if we stumble… .”

Nangong Zifei kicks Daihu without stretching his leg out. He calmly says, “He doesn’t know what he’s saying.”

“It doesn’t matter,” An Chuxia says. “Actually, Han Qilu isn’t that kind of person. You’re part of the school anyway.”

Daihu rubs his sore spot and says, “Boss, can you be gentle with me next time?”

Nangong Zifei ignores Daihu and looks at An Chuxia. “Have you been… well?”

It’s been a few days since they’ve been in Stein. He’s heard about An Chuxia and Han Qilu, and many of them are biased toward bad news. Many say they’re too different which worries him.

An Chuxia didn’t expect him to ask such a question. She quickly replies, “I’m well.”

“Good.” Zifei blurts. “Uh, we’ll head on first.” He pulls Daihu with him, leaving An Chuxia alone.

None of the three notice Mage watching them from a distance. Her hands balls into fists

, her face, cold. A cold sentence pops from her mouth. “An Chuxia… you should disappear.”

Suddenly, a chill goes down An Chuxia’s spine.

The morning temperatures started in the single digits. By noon, it is in the 20s, and the fans in the classroom are turned on. Meng Xiaonan finally returns to the classroom, bringing a cake for An Chuxia.

“Wow, An Chuxia, I envy you. You have such a good friend!” Mage sits back. “Zifei hasn’t even brought me a cake.”

“You can have him buy one for you,” Chuxia says, smiling. “Zifei is good like that.”

To make sure Mage doesn’t misunderstand, “As a friend, I think he is good. You should know better since you have a closer relationship.”

“I hope so!” Mage blinks. “I’m sleepy. Eat your cake slowly. But if you eat cake, you’ll get fat.”

Meng Xiaonan immediately says after hearing her statement, “My An Chuxia isn’t fat.”

Someone says unpleasantly, “Don’t talk, let others sleep.”

The three of them calm down. Meng Xiaonan continues to eat her cake. An Chuxia has since finished hers. With nothing left, she becomes sleepy. She looks at Mage’s reflection from the tiled wall; feeling cold again.

There’s always a very unknown hunch.
