Nancheng University.
Because of indulging himself the previous night, Mo Weiyi overslept and only had a chance to check his phone after he arrived at school.
There were loads of messages on WeChat, apart from those sent by Ling Zhizhou, the rest were from a group chat of three people.
Thereâs no name for it?
Mo Weiyi promptly changed the group name to âLittle Fairy Gathering Placeâ, and then sent a Quan Luâer emoticon.
Shi Huan: [Miss Mo, Iâve already washed the dress from yesterday, when are you free today? Iâd like to return the dress and the jewelry to you.]
Mo Weiyi: [Donât be so formal, Iâm at school today, you can come by anytime.]
Shi Huan: [Alright.]
Mo Weiyi thought it would be at least the afternoon, but as soon as the flag-raising ceremony was over, Shi Huanâs call came in.
At the school gate, Shi Huan handed over a bag, âMiss Mo, Iâve hand washed the dress, steamed it and hung it on the heater overnight to dry. And the jewelry, itâs all in there.â
Mo Weiyi took the bag, âIn the future, just call me Weiyi, donât be so formal, youâre Wanwanâs friend, and thus my friend.â
Shi Huan smiled.
Who knew, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, âSecretary Shi, do you want to be my friend?â
âEh?â Shi Huan had never before encountered someone asking in such a way.
Do you want to be my friend?
Isnât friendship something that naturally happens as you interact and spend time together?
Mo Weiyi spoke seriously, âI donât have many friends, Wanwan is my best friend, but ever since she got married itâs been hard for us to meet. Secretary Shi, being so smart, you should be my friend, okay? Trust me, Iâm really good to friends!â
âErmâ¦â Shi Huan found herself a bit overwhelmed by the little princessâs enthusiasm and could only nod, âOkay.â
âGreat, then Iâll call you Little Huanhuan from now on, is that okay?â
Little Huanhuan?
Shi Huan felt a bit awkward. How come, like a certain someone, she also liked calling this name.
Certain someone?
Shi Huan looked at the time and hurriedly said, âIâm sorry, Miss Mo, I need to go take care of Mr. Chu at the hospital, I donât have much time, I should go, goodbye.â
âHuh?â
Before Mo Weiyi could respond, Shi Huan had already turned around, briskly got into a Dongfeng SUV parked by the roadside, and drove off quickly.
She left like a gust of wind!
Mo Weiyi stood there, her delicate face showing a touch of admiration.
Wow, Secretary Shi is so beautiful, yet so smart and capable, even driving cars this coolly! And itâs an SUV! This friend, sheâs definitely going to make!

Shi Huan stopped at her usual breakfast place, picked up some breakfast, then drove to the hospital.
Rushing all over the place, it was already half past nine when she arrived at the hospital.
As soon as she opened the door to the patientâs room, as expected, young master Chu was throwing a tantrum.
âWhy are you only here now? Didnât we agree that youâd come over to bring me breakfast by nine every day?â
Shi Huan explained, âIâm sorry, I went to the school to return Miss Moâs dress, and it delayed some time.â
âWhatâs more important? Miss Mo? Or your bossâs stomach?â Young master Chu wore an accusatory face.
Shi Huan went straight over with the takeaway, then quickly opened it, âMr. Chu, itâs time for breakfast.â
The scent of the food successfully eased Chu Xiuhuangâs anger.
Howeverâ¦
âAchoo!â
Chu Xiuhuang let out a big sneeze.
Shi Huan quickly handed him a tissue, âMr. Chu, take care of your health.â
âItâs too late.â Chu Xiuhuang sniffed his stately nose, âThanks to you, I have a cold now.â
Shi Huan quickly frowned, âMy mistake.â
With such a good apology, Chu Xiuhuang couldnât get mad anymore.
Although he was really frustrated last night, even tossing and turning all night, thinking about whether he had said something too harsh?
He thought he was just looking out for her, so why was this silly woman angry with him?
The Shi family elders were clearly taking advantage of her as cheap labor, exploiting her value ruthlessly over so many years. He just spoke the truth about it, and she got angry with him, how ridiculous!
And she left him and his car at the hospital entrance!
If sheâs so capable, why doesnât she stand up to the Shi family elders?
Chu Xiuhuang picked up his chopsticks, then, noticing her outfit, scowled, âWhy are you wearing these clothes again?â
Black turtleneck sweater, black jeans, loose enough to completely hide any curves, and with her hair back to its original style, she was even wearing huge black-rimmed glasses.
Shi Huan adjusted her glasses, âIs there a problem?â
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
He forcefully grabbed a bun and stuffed it whole into his mouth.
Shi Huan hurriedly tried to warn him, âMr. Chu, itâs hotâ¦â
But it was too late.
â⦠Damn!â Chu Xiuhuang instantly spat the bun back out.
â⦠Mr. Chu, I got soup dumplings.â
Chu Xiuhuangâs mouth was wide open, and he couldnât recover for a while.
What the hellâ¦
He was scalded!
Shi Huan: ââ¦â
It honestly wasnât her fault, she had warned him, but he acted so quickly.
Seeing Chu Xiuhuang continually holding his mouth open, looking severely scalded, she couldnât help but ask, âMr. Chu, do you want me to call the doctor?â
But Chu Xiuhuang raised his hand and waved to her.
Shi Huan stared blankly, not understanding what he meant.
âCome over!â Chu Xiuhuang spoke impatiently, his tongue a bit heavy, it was obvious he was really scalded.
Shi Huan quickly walked over.
âCloser!â
Shi Huan had no choice but to get a bit closer.
Then, Chu Xiuhuang pointed at his mouth, âHelp blow on it.â
Shi Huan was startled: ââ¦â
What the heck?
âIt hurts, help me blow on it.â After Chu Xiuhuang said it, he gave her a stern look, âHurry up!â
