Seeing Zuo Aiai and Mo Shaoting walking onto campus together as if there was no one else around, the students surrounding Zuo Yunyun could not help but whisper to each other.
"Oh my God, I really wouldn't have expected a man like Mo Shaoting to get together with Zuo Aiai..."
"Yeah, it's really disappointing! I quite like him."
"He's wasted on that whore Zuo Aiai, seriously!"
Zuo Yunyun stayed silent as she looked at the backs of the two people gossiping. Her heart was drowning in jealousy.
'Zuo Aiai. ZUO AIAI!' she thought to herself, fuming.
'Why, in the eyes of all these outstanding men, is there only you?'
'I must destroy you, completely destroy you, only then can I rest easy!'

"How's your home now?" On the way to Zuo Aiai's class, Mo Shaoting was wearing a cap and sunglasses. He was not as eye-catching as before, but there were still many people looking at them.
She was a little embarrassed and wanted to walk further away from him, but every time she took a step away, he would follow her.
In the end, she had no choice but to give up. "It's pretty good. What can I say?"
She smiled. They could be considered friends. They had been ever since the third year of junior high, when she'd stumbled upon Mo Shaoting being bullied by some classmates. Zuo Aiai was the same fearless and lawless character then as she was now.
She'd been the one to defend him from bullies.
And ever since then, Mo Shaoting had liked to follow her around.
"Zuo Aiai...I saw the newspaper."
"Huh?"
"You...broke off the engagement with Chen Ziyi?" He asked cautiously.
Zuo Aiai had always treated Mo Shaoting as her little brother. Even if he would flirt with her jokingly on occasion, she had never taken it to heart.
"Yeah."
"Why?" He had long known pf the relationship between Zuo Aiai and Chen Ziyi. When he first met her, he knew that the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and Chen Ziyi loved her dearly. He would do anything to make her happy.
Mo Shaoting had thought that he would never have a chance with Zuo Aiai because she was already taken.
"It's nothing. It's just that we're not suitable for each other anymore." She smiled and brushed it off.
During his period of filming television dramas, no matter how busy he was, Mo Shaoting would look for news about Zuo Aiai on the internet. Even if he didn't know everything about what happened to her, he would still know a thing or two about it.
Including this change with Chen Ziyi...
But she talked about it so indifferently, almost as if nothing had happened.
He didn't believe the news initially, but seeing Zuo Aiai now and thinking that Chen Ziyi must have done something to hurt her, he wanted to kill the b*stard.
"Well, it's fine. You shouldn't have given up the entire forest for a big tree anyway!" He smiled playfully.
She couldn't help but laugh and gave him a push as she always did when he joked around like this.
"Oh, what forest? I'm getting old...there are only two kinds of men left for me now. Good men who are already married, and men who haven't grown up yet. I can't do anything with either kind, so I've decided to cultivate my character instead."
Although it was written in Jin Di's agreement that she could rule the world in his name. But she didn't say anything about that.
And she didn't want to anyway. It was better to hide her relationship with Jin Di, even if it might be tempting to brag about it to the whole world. She was a new Zuo Aiai now. All she wanted was to live a peaceful life.
"Zuo Aiai..." Mo Shaoting stopped in his tracks. She smiled and turned around, only to see the expression on his face suddenly become very serious. "I'm a good man, you know, unmarried, and I've already grown up."
