Chapter 20: Questions That Should Not Be Asked

  "Hmm. Song Jin Hua, that's your name, right? Before you get off the bus, let me tell you something: You'll eventually meet a good guy who will treat you well, because girls are born to be loved and cherished, they're all destined to have a guardian angel who protects them, loves them, and doesn't let them get hurt. And I... am the guardian angel of the stars."

  "Really? Then... you have to take good care of Xing Chen and don't let her get hurt..."

  "Hmm!"

  "...I got off the bus, bye."

  "Goodbye."

  "Good morning! Xingxing. Haven't forgotten our appointment after school this afternoon, have you?" A new day, and Han Di was already greeting Xia Xingxin as soon as he stepped into the classroom.

  "Going on a date...? It's accompanying you to practice your song, not going on a date..." She naturally hadn't forgotten this matter.

  "It's almost there."

  It's far from it... Can't you just stop making their relationship sound so ambiguous? It's embarrassing.

  "Star, have a good class today, I won't disturb you."

  "What?... So self-conscious?" (Han Di sometimes chases away the teacher who is teaching Xia Xingyun, and lets Xia Xingyun listen to him practice his composition)

  "Because we didn't have enough time after school today." Han Di said with a happy smile.

  "...I feel like this guy's smile is a bit weird..."

  Chen Yin Zhi kept gazing at Xia Xing Hen and Han Di, even if he didn't want to... his eyes couldn't move away from them.

  Damn it...

  Isn't it supposed to be hateful towards that girl... why is it still being cared about like this...

  Chen Yinzi suddenly got up from the sofa and walked out of the classroom.

  "Yin Zhi, where are you going?" Ou Yang Heng Xi's voice sounded behind Chen Yin Zhi. Was it because of the awkward atmosphere between Shu Fu Han Di and Xia Xing Xin...

  Xia Xingxin and Han Di's line of sight also shifted towards Chen Yinzi's back.

  "A place where one stays alone." The figure disappeared from the classroom door after answering this sentence.

  "Hengxi, why does Yinzhi seem so strange?"

  "It might be uncomfortable..."

  Uncomfortable...? Is it a cold or a bad mood? Xia Xingxin inexplicably began to care about Chen Yinzi in her heart.

  "Stars...?"

  "Huh?"

  "What are you thinking about?"

  "Nothing..."

  "Nothing? Alright, I'm going back to the sofa..."

  "Wait! Hande." Xia Xingxin suddenly grabbed Hande's hand, originally intending to grab his hem... somehow she ended up grabbing his hand instead.

  "Holding hands..."

  "What?"

  "Are you holding my hand, Xing Xing? Hehe." Han Di happily tightened his grip on Xia Xing Yin's hand a bit... this feeling is so good... just like lovers.

  "Ah, that..." Only then did Xia Xingxin react, hastily shaking off Han Di's hand.

  "What's wrong with this?! It was fine like that!"

  "No... I didn't mean to..."

  "Huh?"

  "Never mind, let's get back on track. Han Di... I want to ask you something."

  "What's wrong?"

  "About Chen Yinzi's family..."

  "...Why are you asking this?!" Han Di stared at Xia Xingxin with wide eyes. The reaction seemed a bit too excited...

  "What's wrong?"

  "Hey! That's enough! This isn't a question you should be asking!" A sudden roar came from behind, it was Ouyang Hengxi.

  Xia Xingxin turned her head and saw Ouyang Hengxi's expression for the first time... so serious that it was frightening.

  "Hey! Hengxi, don't yell at Xingxing! You'll scare her to tears!"

  Han Di... I'm not that fragile...

  But... Ouyang Hengxi, who usually looks gentle and mild, suddenly turned into a serious face staring at her... She was really quite scared... Scared to the point of tears...

  "Stars, don't be afraid, I'm here."

  "Kan Di... did I ask something I shouldn't have?..."

  Han Di looked at Xia Xinghen and nodded, "At least... Yin Zhi heard you ask about him in this place, you're done..."

  “……”

  "But as long as I'm here, I'll protect you!"

  "I... still... want to know, about that question..."

  "Xia Xingxin, are you still not going to shut up?!" Ouyang Hengxi's face had already turned extremely ugly...

  "Hey, Heng Xi! Didn't I tell you not to howl at the stars?! What? Is your friend Yin Zhi more important than your friend Han Di?" Han Di seemed to be scolding Ouyang Heng Xi.

  "Hey, Han Di..." Xia Xingxin pulled on Han Di's clothes, "It seems like it's my fault..."

  "Even if the stars made a mistake, I won't allow anyone to yell at you, especially in front of me..." Han Di said this while looking at Ouyang Hengxi and speaking to Xia Xingxin.

  "......" Han Di, you really... Ouyang Hengxi's tone and attitude had to soften slightly, "Han Di, Yin Zhi is our friend, we all know his pain. As friends, we have to protect that wound of his. Do you know how painful it is to be exposed? That kind of pain is something no one wants to experience, and maybe can't even bear to die..."

  Pain? Scars? Death?

  What's this about Chen Yinzi?

  That guy with no expression at all, is there a painful story behind him?

  I want to know... But if I knew, it would probably cause him pain... If I didn't know, she wouldn't be able to understand him... Strange? Why does she want to understand Chen Yin Zhi?
