The moment Xiao Yunhua walked inside the small house, her grandmother rushed to her side and her old eyes scanned for any injuries. Xiao Yunhua sighed as she said, "Grandmother, I'm fine. You're worrying too much."

"Silly child!" Han Mi scolded, "How could you be home so late!? I was so close to calling the police to search for you!"

When Xiao Yunhua heard how severe the situation was, she frowned and shook her head. "Grandmother," she said gently, grasping the old woman's hands in hers, "I just missed my bus and walked home. No worries, your Yunhua is still here, safe without worries."

Han Mi squeezed the hands of her granddaughter that she had grown to adore throughout these past eight years. Truly, she wouldn't know what to do without her. Her granddaughter, at this point, was the only reason she was living. Her own children and former husband have all abandoned her, so in this living world, she only had Han Yunhua. And Han Mi knew that to her granddaughter, Han Mi was the only one that was there for her. If there was a day that she was forced to leave to the netherworld, Han Mi promised herself to tell her granddaughter the truth about her identity, first.

Maybe she would discover her birth parents in the future. For now, Han Mi would take care and indulge her to extreme lengths and measures.

"Alright, alright." Han Mi said softly, still holding onto Xiao Yunhua's hands. "Your old grandmother is getting senile and making assumptions."

"Grandmother!" Xiao Yunhua exclaimed, "You're not old! You're forever young. Besides, you can't be senile if your mind is more clear than anyone else's." Her teasing tone made Han Mi chuckle as she fondly regarded her. In terms of filial piety, her granddaughter outshone everyone, which she was proud of.

Suddenly, Xiao Yunhua pulled Han Mi to sit down. When they both occupied seats, she sighed as she didn't know how to tell her grandmother the truth about her decisions.

"Grandmother..." despite her hesitance, Xiao Yunhua decided to tell her the truth. "I want to graduate early and get a job."

Han Mi froze in shock. Her sweet granddaughter, why on earth was she wanting toYunhu stop going to school and not want to experience a full high school experience? She even wanted to get a job? Has she been suffering due to the small amount of money that Han Mi provided her? Guilt filled Han Mi for neglecting her granddaughter enough for her to want to get a job.

Xiao Yunhua was that Han Mi was silently feeling shock, disappointment and guilt. She didn't understand why the old woman would feel disappointed because she expected for the old woman to feel happy that she was taking such an action.

"Grandmother?" Xiao Yunhua spoke gently, "Are you alright?"

"Yunhua, if this is because of our financial troubles, then I advice you to get this idea out of your head immediately." Han Mi said strictly, her eyes still holding a glint of guilt.

Xiao Yunhua fervently shook her head, "Grandmother, it's not because of that! I genuinely want to be done with school and get a job while starting university."

"But your sixteen!" Han Mi sighed, "Is this really what you want? Or is it just a spur of actions that every young teenager takes?"

"Grandmother, I thought you'd be more supportive!" Xiao Yunhua snapped in anger. Her plans were going to be ruined if this continued! She needed Zhou Feng's heart or else her soul would be obliterated!

"Han Yunhua—" Han Mi's voice was laced with worry, but Xiao Yunhua didn't allow her to continue as she stood up to leave.

"Grandmother, I'll be spending the nights at a friend's house until you agree!" Xiao Yunhua didn't even bother to take anything except for her phone. Once she was walking outside, she dialed Zhao Meiliang's phone number.

"Hello?" A sleepy Zhao Meiliang mumbled as she yawned.

"Meiliang, could I stay at your house for a little bit?"

Zhao Meiliang's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, with false concern, "What happened? And sure, of course!"

"My grandmother and I got into an argument." Xiao Yunhua said with honesty, not bothering to lie.

Zhao Meiliang smirked as she worriedly questioned, "Why?"

"Because I want to graduate early and go to university already! Besides, I want to pursue the culinary arts and be a chef! By getting a job, I could afford to go to AAA University." Hearing Xiao Yunhua's words, shock filled Zhao Meiliang's face. She couldn't believe that the perfect student was always one step ahead of everyone else!

She was graduating early? Wasn't this a way of showing off that she was smarter than everyone else? Especially when she was going to the best university in the country. Jealousy filled Zhao Meiliang as she sighed with mock sympathy, "Really? Well, I support you and am telling you to do what you want! You can stay for as long as you like!"

"Great! Thank you!" With that, Xiao Yunhua hung up and left Zhao Meiliang to ponder.

Why did she suddenly decide to do this, especially when she hadn't consulted with her? Zhao Meiliang knew that Xiao Yunhua considered Zhao Meiliang as her closest friend. There wasn't a single secret that the angelic student kept from her.

Such ideas, has she been harboring them for a while? Or was she wanting to get a job to go to the university for someone?

Zhao Meiliang thought long and hard until she realized that Zhou Feng was also graduating this year and going to AAA University. She burst out laughing when she realized Xiao Yunhua's intentions.

The angelic student was such a fake bitch! She wanted to seduce the Zhou young master in this way? She was so pathetic. Zhao Meiliang was so happy that she finally found a way to destroy the image that the perfect student had worked so hard for. She knew that Han Yunhua was going to leave, but she would be remembered as a slutty stain who dropped school because she wanted to seduce someone that was out of her range and reach.

She smiled as she thought of more ways of humiliating the bitch until she only thought of suicide. But Zhao Meiliang wasn't able to think anymore as her mother suddenly called out that her friend was here.

When she arrived and saw a dejected Xiao Yunhua, she discreetly smiled but quickly put on a look of concern. She noticed that her mother was happily chatting with Xiao Yunhua and they had an air of harmony.

More jealousy filled Zhao Meiliang because her mother never treated her that way. Anytime that they were to have a conversation, her mother would make sure to remind her that she needed to work harder to be like her friend. Always being compared, Zhao Meiliang slowly grew bitter towards Han Yunhua, hence hating her to this day. Otherwise, once upon a time, they were good friends.

But if her so-called friend hadn't always been better at everything, then maybe they could've still been genuine friends.

For now, Zhao Meiliang wanted to prove to her mother than her living definition that she would use to compare Zhao Meiliang to wasn't perfect at all. She was fake and schemed to no ends!

"Yunhua, you're here!" She said with fake enthusiasm. "It's pretty late, do you want to sleep?"

"Yes, Poor Yunhua told me what happened." Mrs. Zhao said with sympathy as she regarded Xiao Yunhua. "She'll be sleeping in your bed while she is staying here."

"But mother, where will I sleep?" Zhao Meiliang said with annoyance. Her mother flashed her a look to stop and respect their guest, so Zhao Meiliang gritted her teeth and nodded. "You know what, I'll sleep on the floor! Yunhua, we wouldn't want your beauty to be affected by sleeping on the cold, hard floor."

Her sarcasm was noticed by her mother, but the naïve Yunhua giggled at her friend's joke and thanked her for her care.

Both girls bid Mrs. Zhao goodnight and went to sleep.

Before sleeping, Zhao Meiliang wanted to confirm one thing. "Yunhua, do you like Zhou Feng?"

Xiao Yunhua pretended to ponder over the question as she finally blushed and shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure. I have seen him frequently, pretty much everywhere that I've been to."

"Really? Where?"

"At the bus stop, the blind date, his text—"

"You have his number!?" Zhao Meiliang interrupted in shock.

"Yeah, but I didn't reply when he texted me to go to the hospital."

"But why? He's known to be cold hearted, yet he showed you concern!" Zhao Meiliang couldn't help but feel envy yet again. She didn't understand why Han Yunhua was so lucky. At first, she assumed that it was her delusional self that was chasing the Zhou young master all the way to AAA University. Now, she feels as though the feelings between them are neutral and that she would be soon seeing a new couple.

Both girls said goodnight and didn't bother to say anything else. Soon, the sound of Xiao Yunhua's soft breathing filled the room and Zhao Meiliang knew that she was asleep. Her eyes fell on Xiao Yunhua's phone as an idea filled her head.

A malicious smile found its way on her lips as she quickly swiped the phone and hid under her blanket.

She saw that Han Yunhua had been telling the truth; they really hadn't texted much.

Wanting to ruin the idea that she was pure, Zhao Yunhua texted the number very bad things that were incredibly inappropriate and made her sound like she was craving attention.

Once she finished, she deleted the text and smirked. She placed the phone back to where it was and slept smoothly without troubles.

Meanwhile Zhou Feng received a text from the number of the Han Yunhua girl. His eyes widened at the content he was seeing and he felt sick. So he was right. The girl was only pretending to be pure; in reality, she was such a girl that did things like this!

He felt sick and immediately blocked her number. He didn't want to have anything to do with Han Yunhua ever again!
