"Did you develop this? That's amazing! I told you that you wouldn't always live so modestly like before! Look at your outfit now, it's even more expensive than mine," Zhou Kexin joked.
"I learned from you!" Chen Haoxuan replied playfully.
"Learned from me? That's a stretch! You're buying BMWs and building villas now, unlike me! Everything I use and spend is my dad's money. Compared to you, I'm nothing but a spendthrift," Zhou Kexin self-critically remarked.
"Don't say that about yourself. The reason you're using your family's resources now is that you're still learning. Once you enter society, you'll understand your own value," Chen Haoxuan comforted Zhou Kexin.
Zhou Kexin took advantage of the moment and wrapped her arm around Chen Haoxuan's, happily saying, "You're really good at comforting people; no wonder I like you so much."
Chen Haoxuan shook his head with a wry smile. He felt that sometimes having too many admirers wasn't a good thing. Zhou Kexin used him as a shield, leaving him uncertain about what kind of girl she truly was. Now that Zhou Kexin had fallen for him, he felt conflicted. Then there was Chen Yina, the girl who grew up with him; he knew her well and considered her like a sister. However, Chen Yina had developed feelings for him as her older brother, which added to his confusion.
If Chen Yina and Zhou Kexin pushed him too hard, he might end up using Hua Lingwei as a shield since she seemed to be the most suitable match for him, and he had feelings for her as well.
Chen Yina didn't like other girls being too close to Chen Haoxuan, so she spoke up to Zhou Kexin, "I mean, you're a young lady hugging a big man in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
"What do I care? As long as I like it," Zhou Kexin replied nonchalantly. She was no longer shy like before; perhaps she had just gotten used to it!
"You—shameless!" Chen Yina retorted angrily.
"You're no different; you have feelings for your own brother," Zhou Kexin shot back, not willing to back down. She could see how dependent Chen Yina was on Chen Haoxuan, especially now.
"He's not my real brother; why can't I like him?" Chen Yina was frustrated with people calling Chen Haoxuan her brother because if he truly were her brother, she wouldn't be able to be with him.
"Please stop arguing, this is a classroom, a place for learning," Chen Haoxuan advised. To be honest, he didn't want Zhou Kexin to let go of his arm; even if others called him a pervert, he would accept it. Zhou Kexin's ample bosom pressed against his arm made him feel very comfortable.
Chen Haoxuan was their target, and if they upset him, they would consider it a failure. So they wisely kept quiet, but they still exchanged glares at each other, as if to say, "Chen Haoxuan is mine; you can't take him from me."
Chen Haoxuan suddenly stood up and said to Zhou Kexin and the others, "You stay here; I'm going to the library to borrow a few books. I'll be back soon."
After Chen Haoxuan left, Chen Yina and Zhou Kexin started bickering again. "Zhou Kexin, let me tell you, I've grown up with Brother Xuan since we were kids. The only reason he's not accepting me now is that he's worried my parents will oppose it. Once I get my parents' approval, Brother Xuan will definitely be with me. You might as well give up and find another guy!" Chen Yina said smugly.
"Keep dreaming! Who doesn't know that at New City University, Chen Haoxuan sees you as a sister? Even people from your Chen Family Village think so. If he loved you, he would have confessed long ago. So my chances are better than yours; I advise you to give up on pursuing Chen Haoxuan! Otherwise, you might end up in a situation where you can't even be siblings," Zhou Kexin retorted proudly.
"Who says Brother Xuan only sees me as a sister? Let me tell you, I confessed to Brother Xuan today, and he said he would think about it for a while. Just wait! He'll accept me soon enough, and when that happens, don't blame me for hurting you!" Chen Yina boasted.
Hearing Chen Yina's words made Zhou Kexin furious. "That damn Chen Haoxuan told you the same thing he told me? I wonder if he has said anything like that to Weiwei."
"Ah—did Brother Xuan say the same thing to you?" Chen Yina asked incredulously. She couldn't believe that her Brother Xuan had rejected someone else like that.
"It seems neither of us has much of a chance," Zhou Kexin said dejectedly, suspecting that Chen Haoxuan liked Hua Lingwei.
Meanwhile, Chen Haoxuan went to the library and was stopped by a beautiful girl while looking for books. This girl had delicate hands, smooth skin, a graceful neck, perfect teeth, elegant eyebrows, and captivating eyes. "Do you need something from me?" Chen Haoxuan asked curiously; he didn't seem to recognize her.
In fact, this girl was none other than Zhang Beining, the one who had asked Chen Haoxuan for help with her life questions. "Chen Haoxuan, is the answer on my notebook written by you?" Zhang Beining asked him.
"Oh, so you're Zhang Beining! Yes, the answer on your notebook is indeed written by me. Is there a problem?" Chen Haoxuan smiled as he replied; he had seen her name in the notebook.
"There's no problem, I just wanted to confirm something. I'm a bit curious about you; why were you so timid before, and now you've suddenly become so smart? Can you tell me?" Zhang Beining asked curiously.
"Hehe... I used to choose to be low-key, but later realized that living low-key was even harder, so I chose to be myself again. Are you satisfied with that answer?" Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
"Yes, but why did you choose to live a low-key life before?" Zhang Beining continued to ask, intrigued. She enjoyed surfing the internet, listening to music, and studying life, and she was particularly curious about Chen Haoxuan's life.
"That's personal, and I'm sorry I can't tell you," Chen Haoxuan said apologetically. The previous Chen Haoxuan wasn't him, so of course he wouldn't be smart!
"Alright then! I won't ask about your low-key life anymore. I want to ask you why you read so many books every time you come to the library and do it so quickly. Can you tell me—do you memorize the content of those books? Do you have the ability to read rapidly?" Zhang Beining pressed on.
"You can't be my fan, can you? Otherwise, why are you paying so much attention to me?" Chen Haoxuan joked.
Zhang Beining covered her mouth and smiled elegantly, "I guess so! But it's not the kind of fan who likes you; it's more like a fan who's very curious about you."
