Dinners over, Wu Junjie suggested giving the two girls a ride home. Although he was talking to both girls in the group, his eyes were fixated only on one of them: Yu Wenjin.

Yu Wenjin refused the ride politely.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Fan had refused the ride as well and insisted on walking home with Yu Wenjin.

As soon as Chen Fan made his decision, suspicion flashed across his friend's face for a brief second. Wu Junjie was not only shocked by Chen Fan's decision but also confused by it. In the end, he decided to let the matter slide and drove away for old times sake.

Chen Fan and Yu Wenjin quietly walked on the sidewalk.

"You looked so different after staying in Chu Zhou City for six months." Yu Wenjin's voice was laced with agitation.

"Everyone changes given a different environment for so long." Chen Fan said quietly.

After his friends were gone, Chen Fan put away the rare smile he had and returned to his cold and aloof normal-self.

Yu Wenjin kept her silence and continued walking alongside Chen Fan. Many pedestrians on the sidewalk stared at the young girl with amazement. She was only sixteen years old, yet her budding beauty was noticeable. Her radiating skin was particularly fair in complexion and was impeccably smooth. It was as if an anime princess had walked off the silver screen. In comparison, Chen Fan looked nothing extraordinary if not below average.

After a while, Yu Wenjin could no longer bear the awkward silence and finally broke the spell. "Chen Fan, is there anything you want to tell me?"

She stopped walking and stared at Chen Fan with a pair of sparkling eyes. "If you want to ask me out, then forget it. We are in the final years of our high school; we barely have time to sleep, much less dating."

"You thought I was going to ask you out ?" Chen Fan asked calmly.

"Aren't you?" Yu Wenjin was taken aback by the turn of events.

All the boys that approached her in private, they had only one goal. Let it be Wu Junjie's honey words, Xu Haoxuan's passive-aggressive confession, or Yan Xiaobai's surreptitious glances... they all meant to tell her the same message. It's not their fault either; after all, her beauty would be exceptional even in the Chu Zhou City.

Appearance wise, she was not that much prettier than Jiang Churan and Xu Rongfei; however, there was a unique quality about her that could catch everyone's attention immediately.

Only Chen Fan knew that her ability to attract attention was a benefit of her cultivation.

"Do you still remember what I told you at the dining table?" Chen Fan asked somberly.

"You mean..." Yu Wenjin panicked again.

She thought Chen Fan was just playing hero to attract her attention; however, it seemed that Chen Fan was serious about what he said.

"Yes. No matter what kind of trouble you are in, come find me and I will sort it out for you." Chen Fan's eyes pierced into her pools of innocence.

Yu Wenjin could only hold his gaze for a brief second before she wrenched her eyes away. As she looked over Chen Fan's shoulder, she saw a middle age man across the street. The sight nearly paralyzed her, and she hurried to say: "My uncle is here to pick me up. I will be off now."

She darted across the street in a few steps, turned around and then cracked a smile at Chen Fan. "Thank you, Chen Fan. I appreciate it."

She then turned around and rushed toward the middle age man.
