Chapter 8 is an exception for you

  Ouyang Hengxi and Chen Yin sat down on their respective sofas, seemingly nonchalant. They completely ignored Xia Xingxin's words from earlier. Only Han Di...

  "Stars, let's take a photo together. How about taking a photo?"

  "Hmm... alright..." Or else, let's take a picture of Han Di first. As for Ouyang Hengxi and Chen Yinzi, just secretly take their pictures.

  Xia Xingxin took out her mobile phone and aimed it at Han Didi...

  "Huh? Xīng xīng, aren't you going to take a photo with me?"

  "Take a photo together?" and Han Di's face took a photo together?...

  What a lovely and enchanting face... will make her look like cow dung...

  "Never mind... Han Di, I'll just take a photo for you, I..."

  "Come here." Han Di pulled Xia Xingyin's hand, pulling her to his own sofa, pressing her head on his shoulder, and holding up the phone in her hand, "Click" a sound, taking a photo of the two people at this moment.

  "Look, it's turned out pretty good." Han Di picked up Xia Xingyun's mobile phone and looked at the photo they had just taken. He was beaming with joy like a kid who had just received candy.

  "What's this." Xia Xingxin quickly took back her phone and looked at the photo on it, "...Han Di you look really good... very pretty... but I... I'll delete it."

  "Hey!" Han Di snatched her phone from Xia Xingxin's hand again, "Don't delete it!"

  "But with your face next to mine, I'll look really ugly! Like a flower and cow dung..." She had to say something so tacky to get his sympathy and make her delete the photo. Hmm...the phone seems to be hers?..."Give me back my phone...Han Di..."

  "Don't delete it, Xing Xing. You're not ugly." Han Di put the phone back in Xia Xing Yin's hand, "You're really not ugly, very beautiful..."

  "...Why is Han Di staring at her with such eyes...it's going to make her blush..."

  "Use this photo as wallpaper."

  "Huh?......"

  "I won't tell you that you're infringing on my portrait rights. So feel free to use it, haha..."

  "Hey Han Di, I..."

  "I've got it done for you." Han Di took Xiatian's phone again and set the photo taken earlier as the desktop wallpaper. "Oh, right, I still don't have Tian's phone number. Got it memorized now, convenient for future contact."

  Chen Yin Zhi sat silently on the sofa, staring at the two people sitting together on the adjacent sofa. Why was she dazedly watching Han Di enter his phone number... why did she allow setting their photos as wallpapers... Xia Xing Xin, do you like Han Di?

  "Alright, I'll make a call to try... it went through. Remember, this is my number."

  Taking the phone from Han Di's hand, Xia Xingyun suddenly felt an extra force on her arm. Who was holding onto her? She looked up to see "Chen Yin Zhi...?"

  Chen Yin Zai grabbed Xia Xing Xin's arm and pulled her up from Han Di's sofa, "Come with me... there's something to say..."

  "Hey, Yin Zhi!" Han Di watched as Xia Xinghen was dragged out of the classroom by Chen Yin Zhi and prepared to chase after them.

  "Han Di, don't worry, Yin Zhi won't do anything to Xia Xingxin." Ouyang Hengxi suddenly spoke up, having seen everything that just happened.

  Han Di stopped in his tracks, glanced at Ouyang Hengxi, and finally didn't chase him out of the classroom.

  Chen Yin Zhi took Xia Xing Hen to an empty multimedia classroom and closed the door.

  "Hey... you..." Xia Xingxin's shoulder was pressed against the wall by Chen Yin Zhi.

  "Shut up... I'm asking you a question... Tell me the truth."

  Xia Xingxin bit her lip and looked at Chen Yin Zhi's handsome face with a hint of evil, not daring to make a sound.

  Seeing the fear flickering in her eyes, Chen Yin Zhi's heart softened slightly, and his tone also became a bit gentler. "Xia Xing Xin..." This was the first time he had looked at her and spoken out her name, and it was also the first girl's name that he had ever spoken aloud.

  “……”

  "Do... you like Han Diao?"

  "What? What...?"

  Although he didn't like repeating himself, Chen Yinzi still repeated his question, "Do you like Han Di...?"

  "What's with all these questions?..."

  "Answer." A cold voice...

  "I'm just friends with Han Di... I regard Han Di as a friend..." Xia Xingxin answered carefully, watching the expression on Chen Yin Zhi's face. Afraid of accidentally saying something wrong to provoke him. After all, her father's job was the rice bowl for their whole family.

  "So... you don't like it?" A hint of delight flashed in Chen Yin Zhi's eyes.

  "Not..."

  "Huh?!" Xia Xingyun's denial made his eyes instantly turn cold again.

  "I like Han Di... but just as a friend!" This guy asked her such a strange question, she didn't know how to answer correctly, so she just told the truth. Whatever... it's up to him...

  "So... I guess there's no need to use your and Han Di's photo together as wallpaper then?"

  "What?"

  "The mobile phone's desktop wallpaper... should be of someone you like..."

  “……”

  "If you don't like Han Di, then don't do that." Chen Yin took the phone from Xia Xingxin's hand and changed the desktop wallpaper of Han Di and Xia Xingxin's photo together.

  Xia Xingxin silently stared at him, what did he want to do anyway...

  "Uh..." Chen Yin Zhi handed his phone back to Xia Xing Yin, "Use your phone to take a picture of me..." For some reason, he wanted to leave his image on her phone, so... she could look at it anytime.

  "Huh? Whose phone?! Mine?!"

  "Hmm..."

  "Really? You're serious?... Although the situation is unclear, and it's a bit inexplicable, she really needs to take a close-up photo of Chen Yin Zhi with her phone to show Song Zhen Ju. No matter what Chen Yin Zhi is thinking now, he has given her the opportunity to take his picture."

  Chen Yinzi impatiently went "uh-huh".

  "This is what you agreed on yourself, so I'll take a shot?"

  "... " (Moriya Chiaki, who no longer wanted to respond to Natsume's words)

  Xia Xingxin opened the camera function on her phone, aimed the lens at Chen Yin Zhi, and took a photo. "Click" - Chen Yin Zhi's extremely handsome face was frozen in an image stored in her phone. Now, only Ouyang Hengxi was left...

  But... looking at the photo of Chen Yinzi on my phone: expressionless, not a hint of a smile... shouldn't you be smiling when taking pictures?

  "Are you unhappy, Chen Yin Zhi?" The question slipped out of Xia Xing Xin's mouth. It was strange... why did she care about his emotions? Hadn't her goal with Chen Yin Zhi already been achieved?

  Chen Yinzi looked at Xia Xingxin without responding.

  "Uh... okay. I have a lot of questions, don't mind me... I'll go back to class." Just as Xia Xingxin was about to push the door and leave, Chen Yinzi grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

  "Why ask like that?..."

  "Huh?..."

  "The question just now..."

  Can't this guy just say "Why ask that kind of question earlier" in one go? Does he have to split the sentence into two halves? It's really... like he doesn't love talking at all.

  Because you always have no expression... even when taking pictures... just like the aloof Ice Prince, although handsome... cool... and stylish, but also... unhappy...

  I don't like taking pictures.

  "What?! He doesn't like taking pictures?! Then what's he doing..."

  "You're an exception..."

  Xia Xingxin looked at his face turning around while speaking, was he... blushing? Ha, how could that be. But why did he suddenly avoid her eyes?

  "Oh... thank you for letting me take a photo of you. Morning In-soo, from now on... be happy often, that way you won't always have an icy face, and when Morning In-soo smiles, he should be the most handsome boy in the world." As Ha Seon-hee spoke, a smile unknowingly crept onto her face.

  Morning sunshine's smile...

  I don't know why, but thinking of those words makes her happy.

  Chen Yin stared at her blankly, his heart... just like when she kissed him yesterday... was beating very violently.

  She... touched his heart...

  Back to the classroom.

  "Stars, are you okay?"

  As soon as Xia Xingxin walked into the classroom, Han Di immediately stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders, looking her up and down, "Did Yin Zhi... hit you?"

  Xia Xingxin smiled and shook her head, "Nothing's wrong, Han Di." Why is there such a big difference between friends? If it were Song Zhenzhu, she would only say one sentence: "Ah, you're back alive!" Something like that.

  "If Yǐn Zhì bullies you, tell me."

  "There really isn't..."

  "Eh! Chen Yin Zhi, you're back just in time. Speak up, did you bully Xing Xing or not?"

  "None." Chen Yin Zhi casually tossed out these two words as he walked over to his own sofa and lay down.

  "What did you call out the stars for?" Han Di asked, walking up to Chen Yin Zhi and questioning him.

  Chen Yin frowned slightly, "Nothing..."

  Han Di looked at Chen Yin Zhi with a very impatient expression, then turned his head to ask Xia Xing Xin: "Xiaoxin, I'm here, don't be afraid, speak up, what did this guy do when he pulled you out? Although he didn't hit you, did he say anything unpleasant to you?"

  Xia Xingyi shook her head at Han Di again, "Han Di, really nothing. Eh, can you play that song for me again yesterday? The latter part of it has inspired me now, and maybe I can help you modify it a bit better."

  "Really?! That's great!"

  Successfully changed the subject.

  But... it's going to delay some of my study time.

  Lunchtime arrived, and Xia Xinghen followed Han Di's three people down the elevator. On the way to the cafeteria, Xia Xinghen was made uncomfortable by the ear-piercing screams of a group of girls, and at the same time, she could feel countless fiery gazes staring at her, filled with emotions like jealousy, hatred, envy, and discontent. Those gazes felt like a heavy stone weighing on her heart, making her walk uncomfortably alongside the three of them.

  Restaurant.

  "Xīng xīng a, nǐ zěn me le? Wèi shén me bù chī dōng xi ā?" Hán dí jiāng Xià Xīng xīn miàn qián de shí wù wǎng tā de fāng xiàng tuī le tuī le, kàn zhe tā guān xīn de wèn dào.

  "It's really stressful to be with you guys..." Xia Xingxin raised her head and took a glance at the sea of girls ten meters away, but when she met those jealous and hateful gazes, her line of sight quickly shrank back. The popularity of these three people is simply comparable to Rain...

  "What's wrong? Don't you like those girls looking at us? Then let's just call them over and have them keep a distance from us..."

  "No! Han Di..." She didn't want to be hated by all the girls in school... "Let's just go, I'll eat something." If she didn't come to the cafeteria with Han Di and the others, she would probably be surrounded by a bunch of girls again. But if she came with them, she would be stared at jealously by a large group of girls...

  "Romei sister, look at that girl, she's having lunch with the three princes. How long do you plan to take action?" (Romei No. 1 follower)
