This was the first time Qin Shu mentioned this matter in front of others. It was probably because she had known Han Xiao for a long time and he was indeed a very good person. He even helped her several times. That was why she had no worries telling him about it.
She did not mind. Instead, there was a smile at the corners of her lips.
Han Xiao noticed that Qin Shu did not seem to mind. It was not difficult to guess the hardships she experienced during her disfigurement and after her disfigurement. These were not something ordinary people could bear.
She was like a butterfly that had broken out of its cocoon after going through many hardships. She danced boldly and confidently against the morning sun.
Han Xiao looked at her for a long time before he said, âThe you today should be very grateful to the past.â
Qin Shu smiled. âYes, without experiencing the past, there is no way for me to become the person I am now.â
If she had not experienced those things, she would not have been able to see the people and things around her clearly.
Life was like a play without rehearsals. Every scene was broadcasted live and there was no fast backward or replay.
One wrong step and your life could be ruined.
Fortunately, she was able to start her life again and change into her current self.
Han Xiao looked at Qin Shuâs smile and was stunned for a few seconds. After a while, he regained her senses. âYou and Little Munchkin are a little alike.â
Qin Shuâs gaze stopped for a moment. She recalled how Hua Wuyan had grabbed her hand and called her Little Munchkin. Now, Han Xiao also said that she and Little Munchkin were a little alike. How similar were they?
Little Munchkin did not sound like a name. It was more like a nickname.
âHave you and Hua Wuyan been looking for Little Munchkin?â
Han Xiao looked at Qin Shu and stared at her face, as if he wanted to see something from her expression.
He nodded. âYes, Iâve been looking for her.â
Qin Shu nodded thoughtfully. Although she was a little curious about the Little Munchkin that he was talking about, she did not ask because she could tell that Han Xiao and Hua Wuyan were very concerned about Little Munchkin.
If she asked them, it would be the same as opening up their scars.
She remembered that Han Xiao would directly end the class every time. âClass is over. Iâve delayed you for some time. Iâll go back first.â
âYouâre going back so soon?â It was rare for Han Xiao to be in the mood to chat so he wanted to talk for a while longer.
Qin Shu looked at Han Xiao in confusion. âTeacher, arenât you in a hurry to go back?â
Han Xiao realized that he had lost his composure and quickly returned to normal. âIf you have something urgent to attend to, you can go back first.â
Qin Shu asked as she packed up her laptop, âAlright, are we going to have our afternoon class here too?â
Han Xiao was in no hurry to pack up his things. He nodded at Qin Shu. âYes, Iâm not picky.â
âOkay, Iâll come back in the afternoon.â
Qin Shu smiled when she heard that. She recalled the places where he held his classes. He was indeed not picky about the location of his classes.
She picked up her backpack and walked out from the desk. She stopped and turned her head to look at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao also turned his head and saw Qin Shuâs curious face. âIs there anything else?â
Qin Shu could not help but ask, âWhy were the locations of your classes so unique in the past?â
Han Xiao was stunned. âIs it?â
âYou held classes in the playground, the basketball court, the riverside, on the trees, the rooftop, the cafeteria, the balcony, the kitchen, and the bed...â
Qin Shu counted the places where Han Xiao held his classes. The only thing that was missing was the bathroom. Fortunately, he did not hold one in the bathroom. Otherwise, the moment he opened the video, he would have died of embarrassment.
Although the location was a little weird, there no strange things were seen in his videos.
Based on the environment he was in, not only did he like cleanliness, he also seemed to have a mysophobia.
âI just happened to be there.â Online classes were like a hobby so there was no specific time and location. Hence, the classes were all held in different places.
âThen Iâll go first.â
Qin Shu smiled as she walked down the steps, picked up her pet bag, and walked out.
Han Xiao sat there without moving. He watched Qin Shu as she walked out of the classroom. He never had the mood to chat but today, he suddenly had the feeling.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the empty seat. He slowly packed his laptop, stood up, and left.
Dormitory
Han Xiao returned to the dormitory, placed the laptop in his hand on the desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Hua Wuyan glanced at Han Xiao and went over curiously. âDid you see your student? How was it?â
Han Xiao turned his head and did not say a word.
Hua Wuyan urged, âTell me, is he short or fat? A boy who likes cats should be quite cute, right?â
Han Xiao said, âSheâs a lady.â
âHuh?â Hua Wuyan looked at Han Xiao in shock. âWhat do you mean? A boy turned into a girl?â
Han Xiao continued, âShe is Qin Shu.â
Hua Wuyan was surprised again. âYouâre saying that the student you are teaching online is Qin Shu?â
Han Xiao nodded. âYes.â
âIsnât this too much of a coincidence? You just randomly decides to be a teacher and the other party is Qin Shu?â Hua Wuyan could not help but laugh out loud. âCould this be the so-called fate?â
Han Xiao glanced at Hua Wuyan, his gaze a little cold.
âIâm telling the truth. How many people are there in the forum? That is a place where all kinds of people could be found. Yet, you guys just happened to bump into each other. If this is not fate, then what is it?â
Han Xiaoâs gaze froze upon hearing this.
Hua Wuyan sighed. âIt would be great if she was Little Munchkin. Without her by my side, I feel like life is a lot less fun.â
Han Xiao recalled the way Qin Shu smiled in the classroom. The way she curled up the corners of her lips. It was very beautiful.
It also made him unconsciously think of Little Munchkin.
Hua Wuyan lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist. It had been so long but the bruise marks on his wrist had not disappeared. âBrother Han, do you think we are looking in the wrong direction?â
Han Xiao withdrew his thoughts and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
âWe just blindly think that she is a student but we have never thought about her identity.â
They knew nothing about Little Munchkinâs identity.
Therefore, in the vast sea of people, it was too difficult to find her.
âWhat identity do you think she has?â Han Xiao tilted her head to look at Hua Wuyan and asked in a low voice.
âWouldnât it be great if I knew?â
Hua Wuyan sighed and did not say anything else.

Qin Shu carried her pet bag and searched around the school building. But, she could not find Boss. She could not help but feel worried.
I told it not to run far but it still ran so far?
She took out her phone helplessly and turned on the GPS system.
After Boss ran away twice, Qin Shu installed a GPS device for it. It could find Bossâs specific location through the GPS on the phone.
She looked at the location displayed on the GPS device and looked up at the maple forest in the distance. It was quite far from here.
Why did Boss run so far?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Shu put away her phone, got on her electric scooter, and drove towards the maple forest. When she found Boss, she had to give it a stern warning. Otherwise, it would really turn a deaf ear to her words.
It took Qin Shu a few minutes to reach the maple forest.
The Maple Forest was one of the scenic spots of the Imperial College. Every autumn, it would attract many tourists to admire the maple trees.
She parked her scooter by the side of the road before walking in.
As she walked along the cement road, it didnât take long before she saw a black luxury car parked there. There were several maple leaves scattered on the body of the car, indicating that it had been parked there for quite a while.
She walked over and lowered her eyes to look at the GPS on her phone. Boss was in that car. A trace of puzzledness flashed across her eyes.
