"Lan Lan?" Ye Xiao looked around the classroom, puzzled.

"It's only now that you think of her," Zhou Yuyan said with a faint smile. "From now on, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to see her again."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Ye Xiao asked, feeling very confused after hearing Zhou Yuyan's words.

Zhou Yuyan glanced at Su Yun and Ling Shuya standing beside her, without immediately revealing anything.

Looking at the beauty before him, Ye Xiao saw they were just looking at each other and not speaking. He then suddenly remembered what Lan Lan had said to him earlier that day.

"Are you hiding something from me? This matter should have something to do with Lan Lan, right?" Ye Xiao said.

"Ye Xiao, you should go see Lan Lan!" Ling Shuya suddenly looked at Ye Xiao, speaking earnestly.

As soon as Ling Shuya's words came out, both Su Yun and Zhou Yuyan immediately turned their gaze toward her.

"Shuya, we promised Lan Lan," Zhou Yuyan said.

"But I think we should do this," Ling Shuya insisted more seriously.

Zhou Yuyan fell silent at once.

Ye Xiao, looking at the two of them, became even more confused and demanded, "What's going on? Will you tell me or not!"

"Lan Lan is about to leave Minghai City," said Ling Shuya, looking at Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Ye Xiao was taken aback. "Why leave? Is she taking a break to visit her family?"

"She's leaving Minghai City for good because her family found out that she joined the Weihang Club here," Ling Shuya explained.

Ye Xiao fell silent.

That explained it!

When Ye Xiao looked up again, he immediately got up and walked out while quickly dialing Lan Lan's mobile number on his phone.

"Where are you!" He demanded with unquestionable authority as soon as the call connected.

"I..." Lan Lan hesitated. She didn't want to meet Ye Xiao when leaving because she knew if Ye Xiao saw her leave, she would undoubtedly cry. Although she was usually a very strong person, after all, she was also a girl.

"Where!" Ye Xiao's voice was stern.

For some reason, hearing Ye Xiao's words at that moment, Lan Lan felt unable to muster the will to resist again.

"At the school gate!"

"Stay there!" Ye Xiao hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

At the entrance to Minghai Academy!

"Miss, please get in the car," said a man in his fifties, looking at Lan Lan, who had just ended the call.

Lan Lan looked at the older man, then at Minghai Academy where she had spent over a year. She sighed and said, "Alright."

She handed her backpack to the man and prepared to get into the car, but as she got in and was about to close the door, a voice instantly petrified her.

"Laner!" These two words pierced Lan Lan's heart like an arrow, causing her to lose control and slowly turn her head to look at the speaker.

There stood a slender man with a pair of bright eyes that seemed to see everything, making her heart feel a bit sour.

"Who are you?" the older man asked, stepping forward to block Ye Xiao as he approached.

"I am her boyfriend!" Ye Xiao looked at the man before him, undeterred.

"Ah?" The older man frowned slightly upon hearing Ye Xiao's declaration, his eyes narrowing as he said, "Young man, whoever you are, I hope you can forget this memory, or you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

"The person I set my heart on can't be stopped by anyone!" Ye Xiao's eyes grew cold, and he made his way toward Lan Lan.

However, the older man, a low-level martial artist, grabbed Ye Xiao's shoulder with a slight force and sneered, "Young man, don't ask for trouble!"

Being a low-level martial artist, the man had considerable strength; if an ordinary youth were grabbed like that, they would scream out loud or at the very least, retreat quickly. But Ye Xiao didn't flinch or show any sign of pain on his face. Instead, he smiled faintly.

"Old sir, let go of your hand. That is my advice to you," Ye Xiao said.

"Hm?" The older man was instantly enraged by Ye Xiao's words and was about to exert more force.

But at that moment, Ye Xiao's shoulder trembled slightly, and the older man felt as though his hand was stuck to a piece of steel. During that brief tremor, the man's hand became incredibly numb and he had to let go.

In the instant the older man let go, Ye Xiao's body flickered to Lan Lan's side.

The older man's complexion changed as martial artists typically possess an inherent sense of pride over ordinary people. Yet now, the strength of this young man was beyond his expectations.

Could he be a martial artist?

The older man turned in disbelief to look at the slender Ye Xiao.

However, Ye Xiao did not pay him any attention, his gaze fixed on Lan Lan who had stepped out of the car.

"Why didn't you tell me!" Ye Xiao looked at Lan Lan, his voice very gentle.

Lan Lan's eyes were red.

"I... I don't want to cry!" Lan Lan choked up a bit as she looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "If you don't want to cry, you won't cry, who would dare make you cry?"

"But, seeing you, I won't be able to help crying," Lan Lan's voice changed again.

Ye Xiao smiled again and said, "It seems that I shouldn't have helped you join the Weihang Club."

"It's not your fault, and besides, we'll see each other again in the future," Lan Lan said.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, we will meet, which city are you going to?"

"I don't want to say."

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it," Ye Xiao did not continue to ask!

"I... I'm leaving now!" Lan Lan said, her voice lowered and had changed.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, okay!"

Lan Lan seemed a bit disappointed, but still turned back toward the car, ready to get in.

However, just at that moment, Ye Xiao suddenly spoke up.

"Laner, don't forget about me!" Ye Xiao said.

At the moment Ye Xiao spoke those words, Lan Lan's body trembled, then she quickly turned around and hugged Ye Xiao, bursting into tears.

Without a word, just holding onto Ye Xiao and crying her heart out, as if trying to cry out all the reluctance inside her.

After around five minutes, perhaps because she was tired from crying, Lan Lan slowly released Ye Xiao and looked up at him.

At that time, Ye Xiao's face had a calm smile, and he gently wiped away the tears from Lan Lan's face, slightly smiling and said, "There, if you cry any more, you won't look pretty."

"I have to go now!" Lan Lan felt that this moment was the happiest moment she had spent at Minghai Academy, it's just a pity that she had to leave so soon.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Why cry? It's not a life-or-death parting. I promise, the next time I see you, I'll still be as sunny and charming as ever."

"Hmph, you're charming to everyone you meet!" After saying this, Lan Lan went straight into the car.

Lan Lan left. After getting into the car, she didn't say anything more, but Ye Xiao saw Lan Lan crying silently in the car.

Watching the car slowly drive away, Ye Xiao felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. Before, Lan Lan was always by his side, joking around, sometimes even making Ye Xiao think this girl was quite scheming, but now Ye Xiao felt it wasn't like that at all, it was all because Lan Lan had Ye Xiao in her heart and didn't want to share the man she liked with other women.

People are selfish, both men and women alike.

"Do you feel a bit sour?" A voice sounded beside Ye Xiao's ear.

Ye Xiao turned his head to look, it turned out to be Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, Su Yun, Shen Qiuyu, and Lin Dieying!

"When did you all get here," Ye Xiao deliberately acted as if his emotions hadn't changed!

Zhou Yuyan immediately smiled and said to Ye Xiao, "We've been here for a while. It's strange, isn't it? The always perceptive Ye Xiao didn't notice us coming today. What do you think?"

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, the rest of the girls gently laughed.

"Ah, I wonder when we'll see her again!" Ling Shuya looked toward Lan Lan's car, which had disappeared from sight.

Ye Xiao acted as if he didn't hear Ling Shuya's words but instead looked at Lin Dieying and asked, "Die Ying, shall we go to your place now?"

"Yes, I believe my mother and Sister Xuewei are busy!" Lin Dieying said.

Ye Xiao said, "If that's the case, then let's hurry over and see if there's anything we can help with."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan glanced at each other, smiled, and immediately said, "Men really are heartless. Lan Lan just left, don't you miss her at all?"

"We will meet again in the future," Ye Xiao deliberately laughed and said, "Besides, even if I had asked her to stay, she might not have stayed."

"That's not necessarily true!" Ling Shuya said, "And you never asked."

"Is it interesting to dwell on this issue? Don't you plan to go and help out?" Ye Xiao said.

Ling Shuya immediately stopped talking, but from her expression, she seemed a bit disappointed at Ye Xiao's behavior.

Lin Dieying, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Su Yun walked ahead, while Ye Xiao walked behind. Although he had been very active while talking with the girls moments ago, now he occasionally glanced back in the direction where Lan Lan's car had gone, a faint look of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

"You're a little reluctant to let go, aren't you?" Shen Qiuyu said with a smile, having come up beside Ye Xiao at some point.

"Not at all," Ye Xiao stubbornly replied.

Shen Qiuyu said, "Shuya might not understand you, but do you think I don't know you? However, I believe that we will definitely see Lan Lan again in the future, and moreover, Lan Lan will surely understand your feelings."

"Sister, do you think I'm really bad?" Ye Xiao suddenly looked at Shen Qiuyu with a bitter smile.

"You are indeed bad, a thief of women's hearts, but it's also because you're so bad that so many people like you. I believe you won't let the women who like you down," Shen Qiuyu looked at Ye Xiao confidently. Among these people, only Shen Qiuyu really knew Ye Xiao well.
