The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince!

An Xiaxia’s eyelids twitched at the mention of the special forces.

A good-natured smiling face came to her mind…

Kang Jian’s body had never been recovered. In the official report, he had been listed as missing.

Some said that he had been blown to pieces, but some said that he had narrowly escaped death and had been taken away…

An Xiaxia stubbornly believed that it was the latter case.

He couldn’t have died. Maybe when she wasn’t looking, he would show up in front of her.

“He’s not only handsome, he’s an excellent shot as well! I was told that he never misses a target, and —” Fang Shanshan paused for effect. “He only makes headshots!”

“That sounds really awesome…”

“Teehee. There’s a forest behind the manor and we can ask them to hunt us some rabbit for dinner tomorrow!” Fang Shanshan grinned at An Xiaxia, who sighed. “Just tell me what you need me to do.”

She could tell that Fang Shanshan was trying to win her over.

“Could you talk to Chi Yuanfeng for me, please… He’s so easily defeated, but he does stupid things all the time! He’s so annoying!” Despite what she said, Fang Shanshan’s eyes twinkled, which reminded An Xiaxia of the brightest stars in the night sky.

“I see someone is saying no when she means yes~” An Xiaxia snickered.

If Fang Shanshan really despised Chi Yuanfeng like she appeared to, he would long have turned into fish food at the bottom of the ocean.

But now, she wouldn’t leave his side, teehee…

“Xiaxia, you’re annoying, too!” Fang Shanshan stomped her foot and ran out, covering her face with her hands.

–

An Xiaxia knocked on Chi Yuanfeng’s door. Upon entering the room, she saw that he was staring out the window with a melancholy look on his face. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking about.

“Fengfeng, what are you doing?”

“I’m sulking.” Chi Yuanfeng lowered his voice.

The corner of An Xiaxia’s mouth twitched. “Keep working on it, then… I’ll leave you in peace.”

“Hey, don’t go!” Chi Yuanfeng switched to a roguish manner and dragged her back. He then stared at An Xiaxia with eager eyes and put his palms together. “Xiaxia, can you get me out of this place when Brother Yize comes to pick you up?”

“You’re leaving? Don’t you like Shanshan?”

“I – I…” Chi Yuanfeng blushed.

“I like girls like you! The adorable and gentle type!” Chi Yuanfeng said stubbornly. “Shanshan… isn’t my cup of tea.”

An Xiaxia patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. “Fengfeng, you’re such a dummy.”

“… You’re calling me a dummy now?”

“I may be a dumbass when it comes to relationships, but… there isn’t such a thing as ‘your type.’ You said you like gentle girls, but there are so many of them in this world. Are you going to like them all?” An Xiaxia tried to talk some sense into him. “Or, if there are only tough girls in this world, are you going to like none of them?”

“Of course not!” Chi Yuanfeng blurted out.

He surprised himself and he began to scratch his head.

He had realized it a long time ago. His fondness for An Xiaxia had always been the superficial kind. Because An Xiaxia was his ideal type, he wanted to be nice to her and he had thought that what he was feeling was love.

Until he met Fang Shanshan.

Although he was beaten up… bullied… and harassed all the time…

He in fact… enjoyed it.

Shit! Was he a masochist now?

“Go for it if you like her, or leave! Unrequited love is the most torturous experience in the world!”

After pouring him that chicken soup for the soul, An Xiaxia promptly left his room.
