The provision shop fell silent at this.

Half a beat later: "Pfft."

Xiang Huai burst out laughing again. He bent down, lowering his head to her level. Staring at the girl's pristine, fair skin, he purposely moved closer before saying, "Little kid, what do you think?"

Right after performing this amorous flirting, he waited for the girl to blush in embarrassment and shyness, but unexpectedly—

Xue Xi blinked her large eyes with a lost expression. She ignored the man's breath by her ears and pondered this somberly.

As though she was a studious student seeking help from her teacher, she answered, "The stages of a relationship should be confession, then holding hands, followed by kissing, hugging, and finally..."

At this point, she turned to look at him in astonishment.

Xiang Huai: "?"

Her dark irises seemed to constrict as her misty eyes colored with incomprehension. While her face remained stoic, she was actually thinking inside that if Xiang Huai dared to request her to sleep with him, she would immediately serve him a dish of army boxing!

The two were in such close proximity to each other that their breaths mingled.

Under her glare, Xiang Huai retracted his gaze and stuffed his hands into his pocket. He then slowly stood back up and said in an exasperated tone, "Don't worry. Go to school."

Don't worry about what?

Xue Xi silently rebuked inside. Still, she picked up her bag and decided to proceed with caution. At least, she did not feel repulsed by the notion of holding hands for now.

She did not notice a certain person's ears being dyed in a deep red...

Lu Chao had already hidden in the corner, trying to reduce his presence as lowly as possible.

As the person who had witnessed his boss trying but failing at flirting, he wondered, Am I going to be silenced?

...

The moment Xue Xi stepped into the classroom, she already saw her classmates pointing fingers at her. The words "keeping a toyboy" entered her ears.

When she turned her head over, the few people gossiping promptly shut their mouths.

Someone even said softly, "Hurry and stop talking. What will we do if we offend her and the Roaring Flame Society comes for us?"

"..."

This was the first time Xue Xi found those few Flames to be useful. At least, they allowed her ears to remain much cleaner.

After six periods were over, she had started packing up to move to the Olympiad extra classes when the Flames from the Roaring Flame Society came over again. Gao Yanchen crossed his arms and stood at the side while Flame Number One sat on Qin Shuang's seat to speak.

"Sister Xi, are you going to class again?"

When she did not answer, he continued, "Are you going to request us to stay here, revise, and do our homework?"

Xue Xi: "Yes."

Flame Number One instantly revealed a slack expression. "Huh? Brother Chen, what should we do?!"

Gao Yanchen was also dumbstruck. Do homework? He did not like the idea at all, but when he saw the girl's calm expression, he quickly responded, "She is the boss now, so listen to her!"
