Through conversation with Ichiko Mitshua, Su Chen knew Saori would probably stay at home for 3-4 days.

At first, he felt shamelessly going to her home, but then stopped thinking that he would be doing just what Saori actually wanted- running to her to explain everything in detail, it was a clever game to take the initiative, but Su Chen was not a novice player.

"Let's leave her, I am sure, instead of me, she would be tense after not seeing me."

After going home, with some light flirting with Ji Rumeng, Su Chen went to his dreamland.

It was worth noticing that Ji Rumeng was getting more and more into her role as the hostess.

But things aren't the same for everyone, Mitshua was filled with thoughts, having a good dream was a bliss she was destined not to get tonight.

Looking at the plain ceiling, her eyes were like staring past the oblivion.

"He doesn't like me anymore."

"He has grown up, but I am still the same."

A complex feeling of inferiority interlinked with heavy guilt engulfed her, but there was something more..... a desire to be the one next standing to him?

"Perhaps, a selfish lady like me doesn't deserve forgiveness, maybe a second chance is a luxury and Su Chen would end up with someone else."

Lying on the bed, she held her open wrist towards the tube light.

A few seconds passed like that.

The words of Su Chen kept replaying again and again in her head, continuously stimulating her nonstop.

She realised.

One thing was sure Su Chen had learned to walk without waiting for her.

That boy she had rejected wasn't going to chase her anymore, if she did nothing now, this foregone conclusion would become reality in no time, no it seemed to be already in the process.

The wheels of fate started turning in a way no one would expect.

With Su Chen's excess stimulation something inside Ichiko Mitshua seemed to have broken.

She felt like an invisible thread that had always been guiding her from her birth had suddenly snapped open.

Mitshua's pupils dilated as a cold breeze immediately cleared her mind.

"No, I want to try."

"You asked me whether I would pay attention to you if you remained a poor, back-bencher?"

"I have an answer now!"

Her open wrist spontaneously closed as she made a new resolve.

"Let's see whether this feeling is love or obsession."

A sick smile slowly crept over Mitshua's lips.

"Sometimes, the regret that comes after love is far louder than the love itself, but it doesn't mean that the story between us ends at that very second."

"As long as the other person is frustrated enough to throw you out of the room, you can keep trying, hehe!"

With a newfound objective Mitshua finally closed her eyes.

...…

It was the next day, and Cathy was diligently waiting for someone beside the class door, she was dressed even hotter today, of course, everyone knew it was for Su Chen.

Seeing her target appear, she hurriedly throttled over.

With earphones at full volume, Su Chen was enjoying a trending song, before he could react, Cathy narrowed the distance and shook his hand.

"Su Chen, my dad is throwing a big party that will go on for 2 days, and a lot of prominent businessmen are going to attend."

"The fabulous event will be held in a 7-star hotel, the food, the connections, you will have too many opportunities to grow there."

Cathy exclaimed with a smug face.

"So I was saying can you accompany me as my partne..."

Before Cathy could complete her offer, she was rudely interrupted.

"Stop Cathy, it's no use."

In big strides, Mitshua walked over.

"Mind your own business."

Cathy shot back.

"I am extremely sorry, but he has already promised me he would help me with the annual school festival."

With Mitshua's bold remarks, both Su Chen and Cathy were baffled.

'I was planning to spend a good time with my Ji Rumeng, what cultural event?'

Su Chen almost shouted, but held back at the last second, maintaining his dignity as a professional villain.

"Oh, and when did this happen?"

Cathy refused to give in so easily.

"This happened now!"

Mitshua stared deeply at Cathy, her voice returning to the icy-arrogant CEO type, leaving no room for a refusal.

Being a top CEO, Mitshua's domineering voice was enough to shut down even older employees and Cathy was still a high-schooler.

"Still not getting lost?"

Putting her hands around her hips, Mitshua hissed, scaring the playful Cathy instantly.

Hearing her strong stance, Cathy's arrogant attitude immediately flinched.

'Damn, her eyes are too damn fierce, so annoying.'

'I will chase after Su Chen when this bitch is not around.'

Unable to sustain Mitshua's dominance, Cathy decisively left to fight another day.

"I see…..stalking me and performing lovey-dovey things with your sister and my secretary, you also seem to have become shameless."

Su Chen looked at Mitshua's hand which at some point had unceremoniously hooked around his.

For some reason, Su Chen felt that the Mitshua in front of him was different from yesterday, there was a subtle change, but even he did not know how to describe this strange feeling.

Hearing Su Chen's taunt, Mitshua unhurriedly let go of his hand, but her eyes were still fixed on him, giving a contented vibe.

"I don't remember promising you anything?"

Su Chen carefully re-examined the number one female protagonist of this world standing in front of him.

"Yes, but now you know."

MItshua's smile became even deeper.

"Cathy is really a strong stimulus for you, isn't she?"

Su Chen tried to put the puzzle together.

"She is a gold digger who wants to rob you clean."

"Like a hungry hyena, she just needs a chance to feast on you."

Mitshua continued.

"No, your tone is so full of sourness, so much jealousy is hidden underneath."

Su Chen exposed her hypocrisy.

"If Cathy has bad intentions toward me, then do you also have bad intentions towards me?"

Maintaining eye contact, Su Chen calmly replied.

"No, I am not!"

"Yes, you are!"

"Nope, no way."

"Definitely you are, then why is your face so flustered?"

"And your cheeks so red?"
