Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After changing directions in the water, Wen Hua swam to the most remote corner with all her might. When she came out of the water, she took in a few deep breaths of fresh air.

She was suffocating.

She scanned her surroundings, but there was no Xi Mo..

She took a deep breath and needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

Just as she was about to swim to the nearest ladder to get ashore, she found Fu Ming lounging leisurely on the recliner.

Why is he here?

Wen Hua’s brows twitched. She turned around and wanted to climb another ladder, but she heard a loud voice behind her. “Xi Mo, do you want some water?”

The person who was not far ahead had just come out of the water and was about to turn around when she heard the voice. She was shocked and quickly dived back into the water.

Xi Mo went ashore and received the water from Fu Ming. He sat on the side and used a towel to dry his hair.

Fu Ming stared at the pool without blinking. His expression was still a little dazed. “Old Xi, I just saw a very beautiful girl. Her figure and back are absolutely stunning…”

Fu Ming didn’t know if he was listening or not. Xi Mojust lowered his head and flipped through his phone.

Fu Ming’s gaze was fixed on the pool, looking for that figure, but he couldn’t find her no matter how hard he tried.

“Why can’t I find her? Just a while ago, she was wearing a smoky blue swimsuit… I just woke up and looked at her. Strange, where did she go? Is it my imagination?”

“Mhmm.”

Xi Mo put away his phone and glanced at him casually. “She’s gone.”

“Not going to play anymore?” He still couldn’t find the little beauty.

“If you’re going to sleep. Go home and sleep.”

He was the one who said he wanted to come to the swimming pool, but he kept of sleeping instead.

“Alright, aiya…” Fu Ming stretched and got up. “It’s so boring for the National Day. I might as well study. At least I can see my goddess’ beauty.”

Xi Mo looked at the smoke-blue figure in the distance. She quickly went ashore, put the towel on her body, and ran away.

She didn’t know where to go.

Fu Ming saw that Xi Mo was focused on something and was about to turn back to find out what was going on. Xi Mo slightly averted his gaze and opened his thin lips. “Goddess?”

“Yes, Wen Hua is hardworking and enterprising. Her character is also good. This is obvious to all. Please-” Fu Ming looked straight at him, “I’ve heard that you like to target her. Can a big boy not be calculative with a little girl? Besides, I’ve thought about it. She’s not someone who would do something like forcefully kissing someone. You must have mistaken her for someone else. Please don’t target her in the future.”

“Mistaken?”

Xi Mo snorted coldly.

His fox-like eyes sparkled under the streetlights. The ends of his eyes curved slightly. When she kissed him, the mole on her eyelids flickered. How could he have mistaken her?

Wen Hua returned to the hotel only to find that the necklace that Old Wen had given her was gone. She then went back to the swimming pool. However, there were so many people here in a day, and the necklace probably had long been picked up by someone.

It was a birthday gift from Old Wen on her 11th birthday. She really liked it. After wearing it for so many years, she already had feelings for it. It was very upsetting to lose it all of a sudden.

It had been a good seven-day National Day vacation, but she had lost her favorite precious necklace. As a result, she did not have much interest in it for the next few days.

When she was on vacation, her roommate asked her how she was doing. She let out a short sigh and said, “I was quite happy initially, but I lost the necklace that my father gave me.”

Lu Lin said, “Is it that blingbling crescent-shaped necklace?”

“Yes.”

“What a pity. That necklace was so beautiful. Wasn’t it very expensive?”

The numbers in Wen Hua’s mind spun around. She stretched out her index finger and said gently, “About one…”

Rong Qiu asked, “One thousand?”

“… Yes.”

Wen Hua pursed her lips. Fortunately, she did not say a single word.

The necklace that Old Wen had chosen back then was a simple and low-key design. It was only one to two hundred thousand yuan. It was not as gorgeous and expensive as her other jewelry. At that time, he had said that he had chosen this necklace because he hoped that she would be as simple and pure as this necklace. She had to be a humble person at all times.

He hoped she would restrain her light and kept the faint light to warm the people around her.

She had so many jewelry necklaces. Most of the people liked the new and hated the old, but the more she wore this necklace, the more she liked it.

Lu Lin said, “It’s indeed a pity to lose a thousand yuan necklace. Don’t be too disappointed. Maybe one day, you will find it again. It’s hard to say what will happen in the world. There will always be new opportunities.”

Wen Hua was miraculously relieved after being comforted by her.

That’s right, there will always be fate.

It was her necklace.

On the first day after returning from vacation, the class only lasted until the afternoon. After the exam venue was set up, the students could go back to the dormitory to rest and review.

Lu Lin and Lu Yu were going back to the dormitory to wash their clothes. Rong Qiu pulled Wen Hua along to accompany her to the school’s small supermarket.

“What are you buying?” Wen Hua asked.

“I’m buying draft paper and a bottle of AD calcium at the same time.”

“Don’t you still have two bottles by your bed?”

“It’s not enough for tomorrow. Buying some more.”

She did not know why, but Rong Qiu especially liked drinking AD calcium. She had to drink one bottle a day to be energetic.

“Why do you love AD calcium so much?”

A sly light flashed in Rong Qiu’s eyes. “Have you heard of a joke? I like drinking AD calcium because I want to drink from A to D.”

Wen Hua slowly looked up from the asphalt path, her eyes seemingly deep in thought.

“Drinking from A calcium to D calcium? What joke is that?”

Rong Qiu held her stomach and laughed. “You really don’t understand? Think about it again.”

Wen Hua felt that her frequency was different from Rong Qiu’s.

“What do you mean from A to D?”

Rong Qiu turned her head and his gaze fell on her collarbone, raising her eyebrows slightly.

Wen Hua: “…”

“Where did you read the joke? There’s no scientific evidence.”

“I know there’s no scientific evidence. It’s just a bad joke.”

Wen Hua shook her head slightly and smiled.

Rong Qiu could be very fierce sometimes. She would always tell them some colorful jokes to explain some knowledge that she did not know where she got it from.

Previously, Wen Hua did not realize that Rong Qiu was such a person because she was so delicate. In the past, she did not have such friends. Wen Hua thought it was quite interesting.

When Rong Qiu went to get her draft book, she was standing in front of the mini fridge in the supermarket, choosing ice cream. A girl beside her was also choosing ice cream. Suddenly, her companion muttered, “Aren’t you on your period? Why are you eating ice cream?”

Wen Hua paused. It seemed that she was going to eat ice cream soon. She calculated that the day would be tomorrow or the day after.

The sanitary pads were inside the supermarket. Opposite the shelves were things like shower gel and toothpaste. She looked down the rows and saw that they were all brand names that she had not used before. She did not know which one was good, so she was a little hesitant.

Moreover, from time to time, there would be people coming to this area to look at the shampoo. After all, she was a 16 or 17-year-old girl, so she was still a little embarrassed.

Forget it, I’ll buy the most expensive one.

After making up her mind, she took a box of tampons to settle the bill. When she passed through the shelves, she suddenly saw someone walking towards her from the corner. Both of them did not seem to expect that there would be someone at the corner, and they almost bumped into each other.

The person was tall, and his steps were big. Wen Hua hurriedly stopped and took a step back, but due to inertia, she almost fell and the thing in her hand fell to the ground.

Xi Mo was holding a bag of betel nuts with a bluetooth earpiece in his ear. His dark eyes swept across her face.

“Are you okay?”

When she saw the person clearly, she shook her head slowly. “I’m fine.”

She glanced and saw the bag of lonely sanitary pads on the ground. Her ears turned red, and she immediately bent down to pick it up and quietly put it behind her.

“Wen Hua, where are you?” Rong Qiu’s voice came from the front.

“I’m here.”

She did not look at Xi Mo anymore and followed the source of the voice to Rong Qiu’s side.

Xi Mo tore a betel nut and threw it into his mouth. His entire mouth burst with wisps of coldness. His hand in his pocket touched a crescent-shaped object that was similarly cold.
