"I..." Xiao Yun looked down. Wang Li Lei said the same thing when she was afraid of thunder.

'Lean on me.'

Was it what Wang Li Lei also meant to say?

Xiao Yun broke her gaze from the ground and stepped toward the red carp pond. "He's busy with his works. I can't bother him with this and I can handle it on my own. Don't worry."

"Do you think his work is more important than you? or that he can't help you? "

Xue Xiu Yong's word prickled to her heart. She glared, "No! I didn't mean that!-"

"Then talk to him." he cut her words off. "The sooner the better, before anything bad happens." Xue Xiu Yong said, giving his concern to the whole situation. The matter was his fault and he knew that clearly, however, without knowing the identity of the bully he was powerless. Although as a man saying it meant that he admitted his power was lesser than his love rival. He's the man that Xiao Yun had chosen, for bad or worse, as a friend the last thing he wanted to do was to protect her before anything happen.

"I understand, I'll give some more thoughts in this matter," she said leaving him to take the food to feed the red carp.

Xue Xiu Yong wanted to scold her for wanting to take it again by herself. But he knew that she's contemplating now and decide to let the matter aside as he didn't want to taunt her into it.

As the trip began to make the air around the four people more relaxed, Xiao Yun sometimes dozed off on her thoughts, leaving her mind in some places. Was she really taking in on herself too much? Xue Xiu Yong's words dwelled on her mind. She hadn't yet tell Wang Li Lei about her bullying. In some part, she believed that she knew she could handle it, but was she too overconfident in this?

But is it alright for her to burden him with her school's problem?

Xiao Yun sighed, in the whole walk, she kept on rounding into contemplation.

Su She In kept her eyes on Xiao Yun the whole time. Unlike what Ji Gu Na said, Xiao Yun was a very thoughtful person. When she read anything from the air turning stiff or awkward, she stirred up the air to become brighter. She had been wanting to feed the red carp fish but didn't have the courage to say it aloud. Xiao Yun saw her expression and proposed the idea in her stead. When the boys were walking too fast, she slowed down the walk by saying that she was tired. Even though the person who was tired wasn't her.

Such a very friendly and mindful person, she wasn't anything like Ji Gu Na mentioned and she didn't look like a person who would do such a thing. She thought again. All this time she had been hearing one-sided stories from Ji Gu Na but none from the person itself.

"Um..." Su She In tugged the sleeve to Xiao Yun's blouse to take her attention.

"What is it?" Xiao Yun asked, snapping herself out from her thoughts.

"Can I go to the washroom?"

Xiao Yun glanced at the street they were walking at and spotted the washroom sign to point it over the place. "It's over there, should I go with you?"

"Ah." Su She In shook her head. "I can go by myself."

"Then we will wait here." Zhuang Huan Wu considerately pointed a hand at the shop selling bracelet across the street. "We can wait there and see the vendors."

Xue Xiu Yong agreed in a nod and Su She In strode over to the washroom in a hurry.

Xiao Yun glanced over the bracelets at the shop vendor. The bracelets were made by weaving small strings into a firm circular bracelet. The shop vendor glanced at the beautiful young lady and two handsome young men beside her and spoke.

"Oh my, young lady. You're so beautiful! You remind me when I was in my early teens."

Xiao Yun laughed, looking over the shop vendor and nodded. "You're still beautiful even now aunty! Let me guess your age-" the shop vendor looked at her in excitement.

"What's my age?"

"Hm..." Xiao Yun prolonged the suspense and snapped her fingers. "Thirty two!"

The shop vendor was actually a lady in her fifties, being called 20 years younger than her age, she laughed in content to accept Xiao Yun's guess.

"I'm fifty three years old now. " The shop vendor said and Xiao Yun cocked her head in surprise.

"Really? Your skin is very young and you didn't look like someone in her fifties!"

"Hahaha." The lady laughed, "You are very good at flattering me, young lady."

"I'm only saying the truth." Xiao Yun waved her hand, sloping her tone in a playful way.

The two men behind her couldn't understand what Xiao Yun was saying. To them, the old lady looked fairly the same as her age, but hearing Xiao Yun's praise she must've wanted to keep the old lady's spirit high.

"Look here. This bracelet is usually worn with couples and friends." Xiao Yun glanced at the bracelets and examine them. She found three bracelets with the same pattern on the thread taking her attention.

"How much is this, aunty?" Xiao Yun took the three bracelets.

"It's usually for 29 yuan. But today it's only for 15 yan a special bonus for you."

Xiao Yun didn't felt good at taking a lower price from the old lady and shook her head. "No it's fine, I will pay at the usual price." she passed the 29 yuan to the old lady's hand but the old lady insisted on having her to pay at the lower price.

The Old lady looked across on the swans phone chain that was sold specially for couples. When the two swans were connected with the other, the magnet force will make them attach and the crooked long neck formed into a heart. "Have this one too." the old lady gave to her hand closing it and looked at the two men behind her with a smirk.

"So which are you going to choose?"

Xiao Yun looked behind in befuddlement. "What do you mean?"

"Those two men that are escorting you, which are you going to choose? The left or the right? Personally, for me I root the one on the left." The old man pointed with her eyes on the bad-boy looking to Xue Xiu Yong.

Xiao Yun gaped, perplexed by the old lady's words.

You call this escorting?!

Since she kept walking with them, she could feel the eyes of jealousy from the people who have made wishes in temples to be in the same group as Xue Xiu Yong and Zhuang Huan Wu. But in the end, Xiao Yun was the one to hit the jackpot.

"No, not those two. I already have a boyfriend."

The Old lady's smirk grew further. "Ooh. Someone more handsome than these two?"

"Someone more handsome." she corrected. The Old lady laughed again at her confidence, giving thumbs to her as a support.

They didn't walk that far from the vendor. Xiao Yun pulled the wallet from her bag and took a look from it to check her expenses. Xue Xiu Yong was out to buy some ice creams for the three while still waiting for Su She In.

A man from behind, with a face covered in baseball cap and face mask, saw Xiao Yun's wallet and had his eyes on the amount. When Xiao Yun was about to place back her wallet to the bag, the man ran with his speed to snatch the bag on Xiao Yun's hand and pushed her aside.

Xiao Yun was nimble with her body after her self-defense lesson with Tian Yi and her sense was keen, but she couldn't evade in time as she was not on her guard. When she looked a boy was walking in front of the thief, but the man mercilessly pushed through, pushing the boy aside to the lake.

Zhuang Huan Wu was about to save Xiao Yun who fall first but she had jumped from the side to catch the young boy. Xiao Yun pushed the boy from the lake to Zhuang Huan Wu, making herself to take the fall in his stead.

"Xiao Yun!!" Zhuang Huan Wu's voice echoed he placed the boy aside trying to save her, but someone had come over to take her hand and pulled her back from falling down.

Xiao Yun felt her heart running like a race, she wasn't good at swimming and was scared that she was about to fall from the lake before. But thankfully someone had saved her.

She looked up to see the man's face but couldn't see anything as he was covered in black eyeglasses and a black face mask. Xiao Yun cast away her sight from the man's face and murmured "Thank you."

Zhuang Huan Wu walked to her side. "Are you alright? Did you hit anything?"

"N- no." Xiao Yun replied to see the person who saved her released his hand that was covered in black gloves.

Seeing the black gloves, a cold chill ran over her back, her eyes glued in it in. Zhuang Huan Wu sensed the turmoil on her face a worriedly asked. "Are you really alright?"
