" Where are you going?" Zou Zeming was talking with his mother when he saw Xua Ying Yue walk out of the restaurant, last night after the scuffle ended, he did not see Xua Ying Yue nor did he catch sight of her in the morning. Though Zou Zeming was not acquainted with Xua Ying Yue, he still remembered that the girl looked rather pale when she was splashed with water, a part of him was worried that this sharp-tongued girl would have fallen sick but lo and behold, she was walking out on the street leaving the warmth of the house behind without a frown on her face.
Xua Ying Yue did not want to reply to Zou Zeming, first, she was slightly annoyed with his actions of peeking into her form and finding out her name and secondly, they were not living in an era where the friendship of a man and a woman was looked kindly upon unless they had enough money to shut the mouths of people around them but when she thought about how this young guy had helped her last night, she swallowed her scathing response and replied in a mild voice,
" I am going to the library," her voice was neither haughty nor overbearing causing Zou Zeming to look at her with a curious look on his face, he leaned out of the small balcony which was in front of his room and smiled down at Xua Ying Yue, " Is that so? Are you going to look for a book that teaches someone one hundred-one way to slap?"
" No, I am going to read a book which teaches how to kill without dropping blood," retorted Xua Ying Yue as she turned on her heels and then continued to march down the slope without looking back.
Zou Zeming leaned down on the railing with a lazy expression on his face as he watched the young girl heading straight to the library at the crosssection of the road at the end of the slope.
" She really is feisty," he muttered as he looked down at the book on the law which he had read almost three times and then turned to look at Xua Ying Yue, though he did not want to follow her and make it look like he was a stalker, he did not want to stay at home and get bored as well which was why he walked inside the room and then picked up his leather jacket before opening the door of his room and then heading straight down the stairs.
Old Master Gu was reading his newspaper when he heard the sound of footsteps and looked up, he was surprised to see his grandson all dressed up as he headed towards the door of the house, seeing him leave, Old Master Gu was stunned as he hollered in a loud voice, " Where are you going? It's already so cold and the weather is so unpredictable, just yesterday the sun was out and now it's snowing again, what do you think you are doing leaving the house with such a chill crawling all over the place? Want to fall sick to avoid going to college again? Not happening!"
" Calm your hair down, gramps, I am only heading to the library," Zou Zeming knew that his grandfather was really protective of him, especially after what happened to his father and sister but he really could not stay in the house all day long.
Old Master Zou was not willing to believe a single word which came out of the mouth of Zou Zeming which was why he sent a guard with Zou Zeming and had him follow the young boy.
Zou Zeming knew that this was already enough relaxation from his grandfather which was why he did not say anything and allowed the guard to follow him, it was not like he was going to have fun in some shady place anyway.
The young man followed the same path as Xua Ying Yue, his large footsteps fell right next to the small ones which were left behind by the young woman who did not seem like she could even hurt a fly but for some reason had a spine of steel.
In just a matter of ten minutes, he arrived in front of the library and walked inside the small place with the guard standing out of the library. Zou Zeming looked around the small library which only had a few shelves which were full of books and he did not even have to look for Xua Ying Yue.
She was sitting on the third table from the right, her head lowered as she carefully read the book which was sitting in front of her on the table. Her hair was cupping her small face which looked even smaller today for some reason, with light cascading on her small frame from the large window which was behind her.
Zou Zeming tilted his head and then headed towards a small shelf which had books on laws stuffed inside it and then picked up a book which he had never read before heading straight towards Xua Ying Yue.
Xua Ying Yue was engrossed in the gardening book which she found after a long time while looking at the chemistry book once in a while, her eyes flickered to the pages one after another as she read about chemicals which had no smell and reactions.
She turned her head to read about the allergens from flowers before she heard the scraping sound of a chair and raised her head, she was surprised to find that the one who was now sitting in front of her was none other than Zou Zeming.
" What are you doing here?" She asked with a subtle frown, did this man follow her here?
" I am here for some light reading," Zou Zeming answered without a single ounce of guilt on his face, the tip of his tongue was poking at the inside of his cheek as he tapped at the book which had the title that read, the third section of the law on murder and intentional harm. " I was getting bored at home, so I came to change my book which I took home earlier, I can't?"
