Chapter 56 of Volume 1: My Worries

  I returned alone to the classroom, Xue Er saw me come back and came over to ask: "What happened?"

  I looked up and shook my head. Xue'er saw the worry in my eyes and didn't ask me anymore, quietly accompanying me back to our seats.

  In a language class, the teacher was talking about something but I didn't listen to a single word. My mind was still thinking about what Xuan told me. I suddenly realized that I'm useless, every day Night has to worry about me, and I couldn't help him with anything. But if I find out who the traitor is, I'll make sure they die in a terrible way, otherwise how can I live up to my title of "Cold-blooded Princess".

  "Ding...ding...ding..." The bell finally rang, signaling the end of class. I slumped weakly onto my desk.

  Xue Er saw me looking listless and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

  I shook my head: "It's just that I suddenly feel useless and can't help Ye at all."

  "Silly girl, your silent support for him is the greatest motivation for him!" Xue Er said with a smile.

  I looked at her and asked in puzzlement: "Then when you lived with Xuan, did you accompany him every day?"

  "How is that possible. He has a lot of gang things to do every day, but he comes back home every day and says: 'Even if I work hard outside every day, just thinking about you waiting for me at home, thinking about the happy time we spend together every night makes me feel very happy.' You don't know how moved I am when I hear him say that, so I want to move in with him to increase our time together." As she spoke, Xue Er's face was filled with a happy blush.

  Looking at her dazed expression, I nudged her: "Stop daydreaming! Come on, let's go eat!" After that, I pulled her to the cafeteria.

  The cafeteria of the aristocratic school is quite good, it's big and luxurious, and even the food is not bad. Although it's not my first time here, I still think it's great, comparable to those outside hotels.

  I pulled Xueer to a two-person table by the window, I sat on the chair staring at the scenery outside in a daze, Xueer went to get food. Before long, Xueer came back with two portions of rice: "Food's here!"

  I gave her a sweet smile and lowered my head to pick up my chopsticks and start eating.

  "By the way, I just heard that our school is going to select exchange students." Xue Er said excitedly.

  "Oh!" Honestly, I'm not interested in anything right now, but suddenly I miss him at night and wonder what he's doing. Has he eaten? Alas! I find that I really love him deeply.

  "Hey, you know or not, I heard that the school for this exchange program is Grantham Academy in London, England! It's one of the best schools in the whole UK, and all the students' families are either rich or aristocratic, just like our school. And it's also rumored to have some underworld connections."

  "So?" I looked at her suspiciously. How could she know so much just from packing a meal, and still tell me so much about it? It seemed there was more to it.

  "So I was thinking of going, don't know if you're interested. This time I heard there are only two students! It's a rare opportunity, aren't you the one who said you didn't want to trouble your family at night? If you leave, he won't have to worry about you being in school anymore, right?" Xue Er even winked at me on purpose.

  "I'm speechless. Just a moment ago, I didn't even know who said they would go home with Xuan every day. Alas! The world is so heartless! Xuan is really pitiful!"

  "Hey! Are you even listening to me?" Xue Er looked at me discontentedly.

  "I'm not interested." I said indifferently.

  Xue Er pouted: "No matter what, you have to go with me this time."

  I looked at Xue Er in confusion and asked: "Why?"

  "Sigh! Actually, I'm going back this time because my parents found me a fiancé, but I've never even met him. I was originally planning to tell them about Xuan and me, now it's just...". Xue Er looked at me with a helpless expression.

  "Let me think about it!" I said to him. After all, Xue Er was my best friend since childhood, how could I bear to refuse her, but if I leave, what about Ye?
