"I can't believe that girl has a boyfriend!" Zimo said, wincing in pain as Shuzhen put some ointment on his cheeks.

"That's what you get for randomly picking up girls," Shuzhen muttered.

"Peiyao picked them!" Zimo shifted his head to his left where Peiyao is sitting, "You are so dead, Jing Peiyao!"

Peiyao raised his hands in defense, "Hey, when I met her she told me she had no boyfriend."

"And when did you meet her?" Shuzhen asks.

"Two weeks ago,"

Shuzhen rolled her eyes and moved on to put some ointment on Zimo's lips. She was debating because IT WAS ZIMO'S LIP.

She must've been looking at it for so long because Zimo waved a hand at her, "It's not gonna heal itself if you look at it."

Shuzhen leaned in, their eyes gazing at each other's. Zimo accidentally looked at Shuzhen's pink lips. The girl raised her hand and flicked the guy's forehead.

"What was that for?!" Zimo cried out, touching his forehead.

"For using girls," Shuzhen put down the ointment and picked up her bag, "Heal that wound yourself."

Peiyao and Zimo watched as Shuzhen walked out of the cafeteria, not even giving them a second look.

"You know, ever since we had that christmas party at Mingzhu's house, she's been acting weird," Zimo comments, taking out a mirror and looking at his bruised face.

Peiyao talked, still eating his lunch, "Maybe Yanchen was right. You really did it with her. That can change people,"

Zimo threw the mirror on his chest, "How many times do I have to tell you, I didn't do it with her!"

"Well why not? You were both drunk, plus she's cute," Peiyao says. "But scary at the same time."

Zimo shifted his gaze to the keychain on his bag. It was from an anime and it was also the first gift he received from Shuzhen, "She's just too special."

"Your salted fish is back!" Zimo announces, walking inside the house.

"And your mom is back," Mubo exclaimed from the kitchen. "Now sit down and wait for your food,"

Zimo found Mingzhu with some papers on the living room so he decided to sit beside her, "How's my bestfriend doing?"

Mingzhu eyed in very carefully and sighed, "The better question is, what did you do? Did you have a fight with someone?"

"Ah, this?" Zimo pointed at his wounds, "It was from the boyfriend of the girl I took out on a date,"

Mingzhu raised an eyebrow, "A girl you took out on a date? I thought you were dating Shuzhen now?"

"Shuzhen and I aren't dating," He scoffed, "What makes you think that?"

"Well - you know - last December -"

"Okay! We are done talking about that!" Zimo exclaims, standing up. "What's for dinner?"

"Zimo!" Mingzhu called out, "Do you really not like Shuzhen?"

Zimo thought for a moment and remembered how they were so close and stayed by each other's side during the vacation at Jeffrey's resthouse.

And how he got pissed off when Jeffrey kissed Shuzhen because of that truth or dare game.

She's too important for him and the only thing he wants now is for Shuzhen to not leave him again.
