"Ye Chen, sorry, I was impolite." Song Xiaoxiao quickly let go of Ye Chen, lowering her head like a little girl who had made a mistake.

"It's not that, I'm afraid it might affect you badly, since you still have a year before graduation." Ye Chen expressed his concern.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoxiao's heart warmed. She originally thought Ye Chen was afraid someone might see their intimate action and worry that Su Wanyi would find out about their relationship.

But unexpectedly, Ye Chen's mind was entirely focused on her.

"Xiaoxiao, why do you seem a bit odd today?" Ye Chen asked, looking at the girl in front of him.

"It's nothing. I saw Li Mei's outcome and thought of myself, just fearing that one day I might lose you." Song Xiaoxiao said softly.

"Silly girl, what are you imagining with that little head of yours? How could you possibly lose me, and your situation is different from Li Mei's." Ye Chen comforted her.

"How is it different? I think it's rather similar. They both needed to sneak around, fearing to be discovered by another woman, right?" Song Xiaoxiao could not refute.

From the day she saw Li Mei confronted by that stout woman, she felt that the days until Su Wanyi confronted them were not far off.

It's known that there's no wall in the world that's impermeable to the wind; sooner or later Su Wanyi would discover their relationship.

Song Xiaoxiao knew her outcome wouldn't be any better than Li Mei's since no woman could tolerate a third mistress who seduces other people's boyfriends.

Of course, Ye Chen clearly knew the woman Song Xiaoxiao was referring to was Su Wanyi.

He found it quite amusing and felt Xiaoxiao was extremely cute.

Ye Chen finally understood why Song Xiaoxiao had been looking so worried today; it was because she feared Su Wanyi would confront them.

"Xiaoxiao, rest assured, it won't happen. What you worry about is impossible." Ye Chen comforted her, stroking her smooth hair.

Song Xiaoxiao only felt that Ye Chen was comforting her, and the concerns in her heart were still there.

After all, no woman would be so generous as to want to share a man's love with another woman. Even Xiaoxiao herself couldn't do this, let alone others.

"Ye Chen, you don't need to comfort me. I know that day will eventually come. I just hope it comes later so I can have more time with you." Song Xiaoxiao cried and hugged Ye Chen tightly, with such reluctance in her heart.

It was as if Li Mei wasn't the one caught by the main woman today, but it was her.

Her action made Ye Chen feel a bit heartbroken.

Song Xiaoxiao wasn't a girl good at expressing herself, and it surprised Ye Chen how deep her love apparently was.

Ye Chen hugged her like that, letting the girl vent her emotions.

After a while, Ye Chen patted Song Xiaoxiao's little head and said, "Alright, alright, stop crying, otherwise people might think I bullied you."

Song Xiaoxiao wiped her tears, showing an embarrassed look as she glanced at Ye Chen's clothes and said, "Sorry, I dirtied your clothes."

Ye Chen looked down; his T-shirt had a big wet spot, clearly from Song Xiaoxiao's tears.

Luckily, it was summer now, and clothes dried quickly, otherwise, Ye Chen would really need to consider going home to change.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Ye Chen waved his hand.

Seeing Xiaoxiao had stopped crying, he said again, "Xiaoxiao, I promise you, the thing you're worried about won't happen, don't let your mind wander."

Whether Xiaoxiao really heard Ye Chen's words or not, she suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, Ye Chen. Next time we meet, let's do it in school—it feels safer. Sometimes I wonder how much fun it would be if we knew each other during school, just so I could experience it."

Seeing most classmates engaging in campus romances, Song Xiaoxiao often felt envious, because they could often be together.

But it's different with her and Ye Chen; they couldn't meet frequently since there's another girl, Su Wanyi, beside Ye Chen.

Even if she missed him, Xiaoxiao could only bury her feelings deep inside.

Hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Ye Chen felt even more pained, knowing the girl had previously told him she enjoyed the occasional meetup feeling, only to find out she had lied to him. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Okay, I promise you, whenever you want to see me, I'll come find you and we'll stroll around campus, experiencing campus romance." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Song Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, smiling brightly.

The sunlight fell on her face, enhancing her delicate beauty, making her even more captivating.

Seeing Song Xiaoxiao and Ye Chen walking side by side on the campus path, murmurs arose around them.

"Wow, look, that tall guy is so handsome."

"Which class is he from? I've never seen him before."

"His good looks put the school heartthrob to shame."

"I feel like the girl beside him is Song Xiaoxiao."

"What do you mean 'feel like'? That's definitely Song Xiaoxiao."

"No wonder she ignored all the senior and junior admirers; she already had someone better."

Of course, Ye Chen and Xiaoxiao didn't hear any of these murmurs.

Song Xiaoxiao continued walking side by side with Ye Chen, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Suddenly, she felt a tap on her back. Looking back, she exclaimed, "Liu Xin, you scared me to death."

Liu Xin approached, smiling at Ye Chen in greeting, "Handsome Ye, we meet again."

"Hello Liu Xin, please take good care of Xiaoxiao for me in the future." Ye Chen said politely.

Song Xiaoxiao was so pure and kind, and Ye Chen was naturally worried she might encounter something without him around.

Having met Liu Xin before, he felt this girl was nice, unlike Li Mei, who immediately left a bad impression.

Thinking having an extra person could offer more care.

"Handsome Ye, even if you didn't ask, I would. Rest assured." Liu Xin said with a smile.

Then she whispered a few words in Xiaoxiao's ear, grinning mischievously, "I'll leave first, so I won't be a third wheel and bother you two."

Liu Xin wisely left.

Ye Chen noticed Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turned red; he knew it must be due to something Liu Xin said.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Ye Chen asked.

"It's nothing, nothing, Ye Chen, let's go take a walk by the football field." Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled Ye Chen towards the field.

She also felt her actions earlier were not entirely appropriate, considering they were on campus; she should manage herself better.
