Zhou Keren turned her face away and let out a haughty snort.

Seeing through her insincerity, Xu Fan could tell right away. He was now chuckling and began to roughhouse with her.

"You you you!"

Now rendered helpless by Xu Fan's playful advances, Zhou Keren, huffing with annoyance, grabbed hold of Xu Fan's arm and bit down on it.

She must not have had the heart to bite hard, as Xu Fan noticed she wasn't using much force. He couldn't help teasing her, "So are you proving that you're a little dog?".

Just a few seconds after mentioning 'little dog,' she found herself doing exactly that, and the realization made Zhou Keren feel embarrassed.

This guy, why is he so bad...

"Alright already, stop messing around."

With a pout, Zhou Keren ceased her playful attack on Xu Fan and looked at him seriously, saying, "I have something important to talk to you about."

"Hmm? Go ahead."

Xu Fan glanced at Zhou Keren and prompted her to speak.

Zhou Keren, feeling awkward, cracked a smile and said, "Yueyue knows about the thing between us..."

"Ah? Between us, what thing?"

"You!"

Seeing Zhou Keren glaring at him, Xu Fan slapped his forehead and instantly grasped what she meant.

You can't hide something forever; Zhou Keren meant that Qin Mengyue probably knew about the ambiguous relationship between herself and Xu Fan.

"And then?"

Xu Fan rubbed his nose and asked.

"When I was traveling with her, she found out."

"You know about Yueyue's family situation. Recently, she's been wanting to transfer to Shanghai, and after hearing about us, she seemed quite unhappy, and then she..."

As Zhou Keren looked his way, Xu Fan immediately understood...

No wonder when he previously asked about Sister Lan, her response was so ambiguous.

Qin Mengyue might have already gone to Shanghai. Regarding her police career, her family had always been against it, but Xu Fan thought the main reason for her decision to leave Jinling was because of this incident.

Massaging his temples, Xu Fan felt somewhat of a headache coming on.

Even though Qin Mengyue kept asserting that he didn't need to take responsibility after their relationship had become intimate, Xu Fan was clear that what was between them could not be merely dismissed as a fleeting affair.

Her departure from Jinling was most likely in order not to affect him and Zhou Keren because of her own reasons.

"Sigh..."

With a sense of melancholy, Xu Fan said, "Actually, I can't stay long this time I'm back, I'll have to head to Shanghai soon."

Going to Shanghai was inevitable, so it was better to inform Zhou Keren now rather than drag it out.

He explained the reason to Zhou Keren briefly, obviously concerned about Qin Mengyue, Zhou Keren understood and nodded.

"That might actually be for the best. If you're also in Shanghai and Yueyue runs into any trouble, you could help take care of her."

"..."

Zhou Keren clearly put her dear friend first, and on hearing this, Xu Fan teased, "Hmm? Aren't you afraid that I might elope with Qin Mengyue and leave you behind?"

"Pfft..."

Zhou Keren gave Xu Fan an unimpressed eye roll upon hearing this.

"Yueyue would never fall for you. Otherwise, why would she be unhappy?"

It seemed she oversimplified the reasons, and listening to this, Xu Fan just shrugged and didn't say much.

Zhou Keren was his homeroom teacher, and after informing her of his plans to graduate early, most of the subsequent arrangements practically took care of themselves without his involvement.

As for the efficiency on Sister Lan's part, it came as a surprise to Xu Fan.

It wasn't two days before she notified herself that arrangements had been made in Shanghai.

At first, Xu Fan felt something was amiss; after all, Jinling University was renowned in Huaxia, so how could it have been sorted out so easily?

But she didn't dwell on this question, considering it was Sister Lan, with her divine skills.

What remained was to plot the future for her few brothers.

As the graduation procedures required her presence at the university, Xu Fan mulled over using this opportunity to get everything arranged.

The next day, early in the morning, Xu Fan headed straight for the school.

Zhou Keren had already meticulously handled all the relevant procedures for her, and all that was left was to find Principal Yan Ruyu to help with the final stamp, and it would be all set.

Having arrived at the school, Xu Fan, holding the relevant documents, made a beeline for the principal's office.

"Come in."

After knocking on the door, she heard Yan Ruyu's gentle voice from inside, and Xu Fan opened the door and walked in.

"Xu Fan, you're here."

Seeing Xu Fan enter, Yan Ruyu was not too surprised.

In fact, she had known since yesterday that Xu Fan would come.

To allow Xu Fan to graduate early, Xiao Lan had made a special trip to the Yan Family to prevent any mishaps.

"Hehe, beautiful Principal, sorry to trouble you."

Xu Fan handed over the procedure documents with a grin and sat down opposite Yan Ruyu.

"Xu Fan, when you go to Shanghai, you better not speak so frivolously..."

While stamping the documents Xu Fan had handed her, Yan Ruyu responded to his gaze.

"Hm? Are you afraid other girls will fall for me, beautiful Principal?"

"..."

This guy was utterly shameless, Yan Ruyu thought, giving Xu Fan a pretty glare.

"I have no intention of worrying about that."

Listening, Xu Fan smacked his lips and replied, "Oh, is that so? Beautiful Principal, a few days ago, I heard your family arranged another matchmaking session for you, and you rejected it, didn't you?"

"How did you know?"

Yan Ruyu was startled to hear this from Xu Fan's mouth, and she glanced at him, immediately figuring it out.

No need to look; it was most likely blabbermouth Uncle Yao who spilled the beans.

"Although your family thinks what you did is bad, I still really support you."

She had quarreled with her family about this, and when she heard Xu Fan supporting her, Yan Ruyu subconsciously nodded.

"After all, without even looking, I know the guy couldn't possibly be as outstanding as me."

"..."

So, he was praising himself indirectly, Yan Ruyu thought, crying and laughing as she shook her head, "Yes, yes, not as outstanding as you, Xu Fan."

Looking at Xu Fan, for some reason, Yan Ruyu felt he was quite interesting.

Although usually pretty arrogant, when it really mattered, no one could match his reliability.

Her grandfather mentioned that recently, this guy had been making waves in Jinling, rising to prominence.

"Hehe, beautiful Principal has good taste. Why not become my wife then?"

While reminiscing about her memories with Xu Fan, she was caught off guard by his blunt words.

Yan Ruyu's cheeks flushed, and she refused without thinking: "No way, you're too young."

"Which aspect are you referring to? I, Xu Fan, beg to differ."
