"Hmm? What's wrong?" Wu Mingze asked in concern.

Instead of looking at her bracelet, Xiaodan looked in the direction of where Han Xin Yin had left.

"Having a crush is like a dandelion. It's small but vibrant. It also has so much energy to grow and spread its love everywhere. However, some people find their love to be suffocating and overbearing as dandelions are also considered a weed, not a beautiful flower," Xiaodan softly said.

"Yes, but it is also someone's action that makes a difference," Wu Mingze said.

"True...," Xiaodan said.

"Come on, don't think so much," Wu Mingze said, gently patting her head.

"Mmm," Xiaodan said, nodding her head. They walked out of the classroom to check on Li Chyou. She then slightly tilted her head to look at Wu Mingze with a bright smile. "What kind of flower do you think I am?" Xiaodan innocently asked.

Wu Mingze was quiet for a second before he answered, "A clover flower."

"Huh?" Xiaodan stopped in her tracks and looked at him, baffled. "What? A clover? I'm also a weed?" Xiaodan said, pointing to herself.

"Mmm," Wu Mingze said and nodded his head.

"How so?" she asked, still trying to comprehend.

With a smile, he answered, "Because no one realizes how unique they are. No one really thinks about the flower, but rather the leaf of a clover. As if the flowers are unnoticed or hidden among the leaves, just like you who likes to hide."

I don't hide," Xiaodan pouted.

"Who is the person who is trying to matchmake someone behind the scenes?" He teased as Xiaodan went silent with a pouty lip.

"And they are pretty and cute. Also, clovers are considered to be lucky," he added, looking at her with genuine eyes.

Before she could realize her face burning up, her bracelet once again softly rang. She quietly glanced at it. She didn't know why she wasn't as happy as she thought she would. She was indeed happy for Li Chyou and Feng Yichen, but she felt a little sad to go.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Wu Mingze looked at her.

"Nothing...," Xiaodan said with a tiny smile.

"F-Feng Yichen, let go," Li Chyou said, trying to tug her wrist away from his grip. However, he ignored her and continued to take her away.

"I-I said let go," she said firmly, yanking her wrist away. He stopped in his tracks and turned back to her.

"Chyou...," he tried to speak.

"T-thank you for defending me, but I can handle it on my own," she said, shyly rubbing her hands together.

"You don't think I meant what I said," Feng Yichen said, looking at her as she didn't say anything back and lowered her gaze.

"I meant it," he said seriously.

"What," Li Chyou said, looking up at him in disbelief.

"You are mine," Feng Yichen said once more, staring deeply into her eyes.

"Y-you,-," she stuttered with her face becoming bright red. Her legs were quick to her feet and was about to run, but before she could escape, Feng Yichen quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

"I'll say it again. You are mine," he said, whispering into her ears. "Mines," he leaned closer as she buried her head in his chest to hide her flushed face.

"Chyou, if you don't understand what I mean. It means I like you," he said.

"I really like you," he said softly and placed his chin on her head.

Li Chyou didn't respond but leaned closer to him and clenched tightly onto his clothes, feeling her face burning up.

"Do you understand now?" he said with a smile, "Chyou," he called her name with a teasing voice. "Do you?" he continued to tease.

"Mmm," she finally made a sound and tried to bury her face in his clothes.

"Then let me see your face," he said, lifting her face. She shyly looked at him with her face flushed.

"I love you, Chyou," he said, looking her in the eyes. He soon leaned his face to her. Once their lips touched, she felt skirmish, but he held her tightly.

"So, do you like me? Don't lie to me," he said.

"Mmm," she responded and shyly nodded her head before quickly diverting her eyes.

It wasn't a surprise for Xiaodan that Li Chyou and Feng Yichen had confessed each other's feelings and were officially dating as the three of them found Feng Yichen and Li Chyou walking to them with their hands together.

"What's going on here? Why are you holding my mei mei's hand," Zhu Haoran said, getting defensive.

"What does it look like," Feng Yichen said aloof, showing their hands entwined together.

"No, no, no. I won't allow my kind-hearted cousin to date the likes of you," Zhu Haoran said in a brotherly tone yet in a joking way.

"Well, there's no stopping me from having her. She's mine," he declared.

"OOO, someone is dedicated," Zhu Haoran teased as Li Chyou's face turned bright red, and tightly squeezed Feng Yichen's hand.

Feng Yichen turned his face and looked at her with loving eyes, "What. Are you shy now?"

"S-shut up," Li Chyou said, trying to hide her face.

"Aww, I'm so happy for you two!" Xiaodan said with a happy smile and glanced down at her bracelet.
