I only want to be good to you, haven't you noticed?
— Prologue1
Fan Jiahong is a germaphobe, everyone who knows him knows this, so no one dares to mess with him.
As the heir to the Fan Group, he is a prodigy. One would think that someone so prominent would be an easy-going playboy, but he gives off an aura of "untouchable from afar."
In front of his family, he always appears nonchalant; the Fan family rarely sees him smile. Even in front of his beloved younger sister, Fan Jiaren, he rarely says a word. In front of outsiders, he is always cold and aloof.
However, everyone notices that everything changes since a girl named Du Xinqi appeared in his life.
Fan Jiahong believes Du Xinqi is poison, and those poisoned will only sink deeper, but he willingly succumbs to it.
Du Xinqi believes Fan Jiahong is a difficult person to deal with; once you're entangled with him, forget about a peaceful life. At first, she even regretted saving his life because of his entanglement.
"Aren't you supposed to be as cold as ice? Why are you so persistent in pursuing a little girl like me? Tell me, and I'll change!"
One day, Du Xinqi couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering
her. She wanted Fan Jiahong to stay away from her. However, Fan Jiahong had already guessed her thoughts and smiled slightly at her. "Although I am as cold as ice, I am not heartless. You saved my life, so naturally I have to repay you. You asked what attracted me to you? I'm sorry, I can't tell you that for now. You'll know the answer to that question once you become my wife."
"To be honest, I don't know when I fell under the spell of 'Du Xinqi,' and there's no cure for it. I'm willing to be consumed by it. No matter what you change, I will never leave you, so you should give up on the idea of leaving me."
This was probably the longest sentence Fan Jiahong had ever said to Du Xinqi. Du Xinqi was very surprised, realizing that Fan Jiahong also had such a cunning side and was so eloquent.
The
Fan Group is the largest shareholder of the entire Chloroa Noble Academy. Fan Jiahong is the academy's undisputed heartthrob, respected by everyone. However, unlike other spoiled brats, he doesn't indulge in reckless behavior. He prefers to remain quiet most of the time.
For some reason, despite his elegant demeanor and imposing presence, he has few genuine friends at the academy. His father specifically sent him to this noble academy so he could better manage the Fan Group in the future. However, his father didn't know that his most beloved son was far more outstanding than he imagined and didn't need to attend this academy.
Du Xinqi, on the other hand, is just an ordinary girl at the school, gaining admission through her excellent grades. She isn't as beautiful as Fan Jiahong's beloved younger sister, Fan Jiaren, but her clear, melodious voice attracts attention.
The two rarely interact; even when they bump into each other at school, they simply go their separate ways without exchanging a single word. It was only after Du Xinqi saved Fan Jiahong's life that everyone realized Fan Jiahong also had a side that was different from his usual self.
Du Xinqi saved Fan Jiahong on a dark and stormy weekend. That night, she and her roommates went out to karaoke and were on their way back to the academy.
At that time, Fan Jiahong was surrounded by a group of people. Du Xinqi and her roommates passed by.
"Hey, isn't that Fan Jiahong, our academy's heartthrob?"
Hearing her roommate's voice, Du Xinqi looked over.
She saw a group of menacing-looking people dressed like thugs surrounding a young man with dyed blond hair and wearing a black jacket.
The girls couldn't hear what they were saying, but they knew that this time Fan Jiahong wouldn't get away easily.
"
Fan Jiahong, you'll be sorry this time!"
"Don't think that just because you're the leader of the Burial Soul Gang, we'll be afraid of you."
The leader, a bald man, spoke up, looking at Fan Jiahong with hatred.
"You've humiliated our Demon-Slaying Gang! Today, our leader has ordered me to teach you a lesson."
The Burial Soul Gang is the number one organization in the underworld. Their leader has never shown his true face to the public; all that's known is that the leader wears a jade pendant engraved with the character 'Buried'.
The group surrounding Fan Jiahong belongs to the Demon-Slaying Gang, the second-ranked organization in the underworld. The Demon-Slaying Gang has always been suppressed by the Burial Soul Gang, so its leader is very resentful and has always wanted to replace the Burial Soul Gang's position in the underworld.
"I just didn't expect that the leader of the Burial Soul Gang would actually be a student."
"So what? Let me tell your leader, even if he personally comes to teach me a lesson, he's no match for me! Let alone you small fry. Being surrounded by you this time is just a mistake."
The bald leader sneered dismissively.
"Admit your defeat. Your Burial Soul Gang is no match for our Demon-Slaying Gang."
Du Xinqi was secretly watching from the side and couldn't help but admire Fan Jiahong's composure even at this moment. Could he really be so confident of victory?
Du Xinqi's roommates, having overheard her words, left first.
"You guys go ahead, I'll stay and check on Fan Jiahong. Maybe he needs my help."
The roommates exchanged knowing glances, smiled meaningfully, nodded, and then left.
Seeing their smiles, Du Xinqi knew they must have misunderstood, thinking she must have fallen for Fan Jiahong and was staying to help him. But now, she didn't have time to think that way. After all, saving a life is a great act of kindness, and helping others is a source of happiness, especially since the person she was saving was the school's most handsome boy.
The
bald man, the leader, smiled and ordered his men to attack!
A group of men swarmed forward, some wielding steel pipes, some pistols, and some wooden sticks. A dozen men thus surrounded Fan Jiahong. Even though Fan Jiahong was very strong, being attacked from all sides made it difficult for him to fight back.
Despite this, Fan Jiahong remained vigilant, preventing them from attacking from behind. A dozen men attacked, but failed to hit him; instead, steel pipes and wooden sticks fell to the ground.
Du Xinqi watched silently from a distance, unable to help but admire Fan Jiahong's defensive and offensive prowess.
Seeing this, the bald man knew that continuing the fight would only wear down Fan Jiahong, without giving them any advantage. So he secretly pulled a pistol from his pocket and pulled the trigger towards Fan Jiahong's back. The bullet flew towards him.
But before it even reached Fan Jiahong, he sensed something was wrong. In a flash, the bullet struck one of the members of the Demon-Slaying Gang, who fell to the ground instantly, eyes wide open.
A chilling wind swept through, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Suddenly, Fan Jiahong attacked the bald man, snatching his pistol and pressing it against his forehead.
"Do you still want to continue?"
The bald man was caught off guard and actually fell for it. However, Fan Jiahong hadn't expected him to still be unwilling to back down and had a backup plan.
Sure enough, the bald man secretly made a hand gesture, signaling his other brothers to attack Fan Jiahong.
Someone secretly picked up a steel pipe from the ground and slowly approached Fan Jiahong.
"Fan Jiahong, if you let me go, we'll let you go too. That way, we're all happy. Otherwise, you've offended our Demon-Slaying Gang, and you probably won't have any peace in the future."
Fan Jiahong didn't say a word; he didn't believe a word the bald man had just told him. The bald man tried to distract him while talking, but he really fell for it, not expecting someone to attack him from behind.
"Bang!"
The steel pipe struck the back of Fan Jiahong's head, and he fell to the ground. The bald man stepped on his right hand.
"Weren't you supposed to be very strong? How come you fell for it?"
Fan Jiahong ignored him, enduring the pain and remaining silent. Just as the bald man was about to do something even more cruel to him, Du Xinqi suddenly appeared before everyone, much to their surprise. It turned out this young girl had been secretly watching from the shadows.
"Wait a minute, I've already called the police, they're on their way! If you still try to harm him, that's intentional assault, and you'll go to jail."
"Who are you?"
Fan Jiahong's weak voice rang out, and he vaguely saw a girl with a ponytail and wearing a white dress. Her eyes were bright and piercing, and she looked at the bald man calmly, seemingly unafraid of the bloody scene before her.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Shut up! If you want to live, don't speak, Fan Jiahong!"
Du Xinqi retorted, annoyed by Fan Jiahong's earlier chatter. Hearing her words, he nodded and immediately fell silent, quietly observing the situation.
The bald man was also curious about who the girl was, so he asked the same question as Fan Jiahong.
"I'm Fan Jiahong's girlfriend. My boyfriend is injured. As his girlfriend, shouldn't I help him? You want to teach him a lesson without my permission!"
Du Xinqi gave them a seemingly reasonable explanation. Hearing her words, Fan Jiahong was surprised by the girl's audacity. He never expected her to say such a thing.
Although the girl in front of him was of average appearance, her voice was crisp, and she was brave and calm.
"Let him go, or the police will be here soon. I'll call 110 again if you don't believe me!"
After saying this, Du Xinqi took out her phone, pretending to call 110 again.
"You brat, you've got guts. You wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
After saying this, the bald man called his other brothers and left!

"Fan Jiahong, are you alright? Come with me to the hospital now to get the bruise on your head treated."
Fan Jiahong didn't speak, which was taken as tacit agreement, letting her tug at his sleeve. For some reason, she didn't feel repulsed by her closeness. Recalling how she had saved her, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
The two went to the hospital, where Fan Jiahong had a check-up and the bruising removed. They found nothing serious. Du Xinqi checked the time; it was already one in the morning.
"I'm leaving now. Be careful."
She turned to leave, but Fan Jiahong grabbed her hand.
"I'll take you!"
Du Xinqi didn't object. She had saved his life; it was only right that he take her back to school.
...
Since that night, Du Xinqi found her peaceful life had vanished. Fan Jiahong's figure was always in front of her, making her restless. Rumors about her and Fan Jiahong had spread throughout the entire Chloroa Noble Academy, even leading to some people coming to cause trouble. However, they were all intimidated by her cold gaze and fled in terror.
Du Xinqi remembered it was a bright, sunny morning when Fan Jiahong was already standing in the girls' dormitory.
Everyone around was curious about what Fan Jiahong was doing standing downstairs at the girls' dormitory. Was he waiting for someone he considered very important? Who was so special that he, usually so aloof, would wait for so long downstairs?
As soon as
Du Xinqi reached the dormitory, a man's arm blocked her path. Her gaze traveled upwards along the arm that was blocking her, and she finally saw Fan Jiahong, the man she had saved that night.
To Du Xinqi, Fan Jiahong was just a stranger; she had saved him only out of a sense of duty. She would always remember what her father had told her, and how her father had brought about his own demise by helping a stranger.
“Xinqi, my precious daughter, I’m so sorry I can’t be with you for the rest of your life. But I believe my daughter is strong and can overcome every setback in life. Although I suffered all this because I helped someone, you must always believe that helping others is the source of happiness. Don’t refuse to help others because of what I’ve been through.”
“I believe you have a sense of propriety and know who to help. Sometimes, helping others is also helping yourself, and it might even open up a way out for you.”
“Du Xinqi, come with me to breakfast.”
“I’m busy, I don’t have time.”
“I sincerely invite you to repay your life-saving grace last night. It doesn’t seem right for you to refuse.”
“You brought me home last night, that was the best way to repay me.”
Du Xinqi said calmly, insisting on not going to breakfast with Fan Jiahong.
"Do you know the background of the group that surrounded me last night! If you don't stay with me, they might cause trouble for you or your family. I don't want to be in debt, and I don't want the people who helped me to be harassed for no reason because of me."
Fan Jiahong's words left Du Xinqi speechless. For the first time, she realized that he had such a cunning side. She nodded to him, accepting his invitation.
Before Du Xinqi could react, Fan Jiahong pulled her hand and helped her into his Rolls-Royce.
"Fasten your seatbelts, we're off."
However, someone had already secretly filmed this scene and posted it on the campus website.

Fan Jiahong took Du Xinqi to the most bustling restaurant in the city center, 'Fan Lai Xiang', which was thriving with a constant stream of customers.
"Hello, welcome!"
An employee greeted them with a smile and invited them to sit in a quiet corner.
Outside the window, cars and people were coming and going, indicating that the place was usually very lively.
Fan Jiahong pushed the menu towards Du Xinqi, his meaning very clear: he wanted her to decide what to eat.
"What do you want to eat? It's on me!"
"Fan Jiahong, I know you're from a wealthy family, but you can't spend money like this."
Du Xinqi glanced at the menu and then responded to Fan Jiahong's words.
"You saved me, it's only right that I treat you to a meal!"
Du Xinqi found that she was always speechless in front of Fan Jiahong; he would always use that so-called 'life-saving grace' to brush her off, and he always found a way to get her to agree to his requests.
Fan Jiahong also discovered that Du Xinqi possessed a kind of magic, so much so that he wanted to get closer to her again and again. To him, she was different from other girls; although he was a germaphobe, he didn't reject her approach. Unable
to resist Fan Jiahong's insistence, Du Xinqi finally ordered six dishes.
(Spicy hot pot, sugar-roasted chestnuts, braised fish, steamed pork ribs, cold shredded radish salad, scallion pancake)
"That's too little, bring a few more!"
Fan Jiahong pretended to order more, but Du Xinqi grabbed his arm, and surprisingly, he didn't resist; their actions were as tacitly in sync as those between a typical couple.
"If you bring me any more, I won't eat anymore!"
"Okay, then another glass of milk. You don't have class today, so you don't need to rush to reply to messages."
Du Xinqi sighed and looked helplessly at Fan Jiahong.
8.
The hot milk was served, and Fan Jiahong handed it to Du Xinqi, who took it.
"Thank you, but I don't understand why you're suddenly so nice to me today. Is it because you discovered a different side of me after yesterday?"
Du Xinqi was confused and stared blankly at Fan Jiahong.
Fan Jiahong was surprised by her intelligence. Indeed, the Du Xinqi he saw last night was different from the Du Xinqi he usually saw. He hadn't slept all night because of this and had secretly sent someone to investigate Du Xinqi's background.
Upon seeing the information, Fan Jiahong was very surprised by Du Xinqi's childhood experiences. It turned out that everyone has a painful past, and he was no exception.
Du Xinqi drank the hot milk silently. Fan Jiahong took the initiative to put a scallion pancake in her bowl, while he watched her eat silently the whole time.
"After you finish eating, come for a walk with me!"
Hearing this, she looked up, her eyes confused, but she didn't refuse, which was considered an admission.
Du Xinqi was eating braised fish when she accidentally choked on a fishbone. She had been focused on eating while Fan Jiahong was talking, and perhaps his words had distracted her, causing the sudden problem. Sensing
Du Xinqi's discomfort, Fan Jiahong poured her a glass of hot water and asked her to drink it. After a while, her expression improved considerably.
At this point, Du Xinqi put down her chopsticks and stood up.
"I'm full, let's go!"
Fan Jiahong nodded, naturally taking Du Xinqi's hand, and went to the counter to pay the bill. Because they had a bank card, they didn't need to pay in cash; the swipe cost 128 yuan, but Fan Jiahong didn't mind and was even willing to pay.
Although it was his family's business, his father had given orders that even if he was the future president of Fan's Group, he couldn't exercise any special privileges here. For now, he was simply a customer who needed to make a purchase.
9.
Fan Jiahong took Du Xinqi around to play. Du Xinqi didn't ask him how much money he had just spent, and her smile was his most precious reward. He had originally thought she would be very resistant to him. Unexpectedly, she was just like him, not objecting to his approach.
The two came to a high mountain outside the city, overlooking the beautiful natural scenery.
"How is it? Isn't this place nice? Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I come here to relax."
"Are you in a bad mood? I didn't notice."
"Yes, I am in a bad mood, but now that I have someone with me, I feel much better. I brought you here mainly so you could breathe some fresh air. I remember when we were in school, you were always so busy, and we usually went our separate ways when we saw each other. You haven't felt this relaxed in a long time!"
Fan Jiahong felt that since that night, he was no longer the same person in front of Du Xinqi. It turned out that the two of them had never crossed paths before, but now he couldn't be indifferent to her!
"How did you know I was busy? Have you been secretly watching me all this time?"
"Everyone in the school knows Du Xinqi is a top student and also loves to meddle in other people's business."
Fan Jiahong secretly smiled, but Du Xinqi didn't notice. She wasn't angry at his words.
"If I hadn't meddled, do you think you would still be alive?"
"I believe I'm lucky. Even if you hadn't intervened, I would have been safe!"
A gentle breeze caressed Du Xinqi's face, her hair fluttering in the wind.
"Heh, I've just realized that Fan Jiahong's aloofness is all an act. When it comes to acting, no one can beat you."
This time, Du Xinqi's words left Fan Jiahong speechless.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense. After about three minutes, Du Xinqi finally broke the silence.
"I'm tired, I don't want to argue with you. Take me home!"
"Du Xinqi, be my real girlfriend! If you don't agree, I won't take you home."
"I'm sorry, I don't like you, so I won't agree. If you won't take me home, I can walk back myself. Even if it's a long way, I believe I'll eventually get back to school."
Without saying more, Fan Jiahong turned and left. Du Xinqi's rejection only fueled his curiosity about her. Seeing him leave without acknowledging her, she became even angrier, cursing him a thousand times in her mind.
A light drizzle suddenly began to fall. Du Xinqi walked back to the city, feeling utterly disheartened. Halfway down the road, she suddenly saw a Rolls-Royce. It was Fan Jiahong.
"Get in. Since I brought you out, I have an obligation to take you home."
Du Xinqi was surprised by his appearance, but her face remained tense. The unpleasantness in her heart hadn't dissipated; she felt she had been manipulated by him all along.
At this moment, she regretted it. She regretted why she had saved her last night. Wouldn't it have been better to leave with her roommates?
Back
at school, Du Xinqi discovered that her outing with Fan Jiahong had made headlines on the campus website, making them the center of attention.
Fan Jiahong, however, wasn't surprised; in fact, he was quite pleased.
It was at this moment that Du Xinqi realized her peaceful life was over. Besides Fan Jiahong coming to see her every day, his admirers were also constantly causing her trouble. Finally, one day she snapped!
"Fan Jiahong, please stay away from me! I don't care if you genuinely like me or just want to play around, your presence around me has caused me immense inconvenience. When I saved you, I wasn't afraid of them coming after me. Don't worry, I can protect myself!"
Du Xinqi's words made Fan Jiahong's heart tighten, but knowing that his admirers were causing her trouble, he still warned them one by one.
"If any of you cause trouble for Du Xinqi again, I have a way to get you expelled from this academy. The academy is for learning, not for fighting over love."
However, some ignored the warning and, with a few friends, went to cause trouble for Du Xinqi. That person was Mu Lingfei, and her brother, Mu Lingtian, was Fan Jiahong's rival in love. After being harassed by Fan Jiahong
for
several days, and with rumors of their affair circulating throughout the campus, Du Xinqi was in a very bad mood. So, she took advantage of the holiday to go out and clear her head.
For some reason, she unknowingly ended up at the mountain Fan Jiahong had taken her to before.
"Fan Jiahong, can you please stay away from me!"
Suddenly, Fan Jiahong appeared in front of her, mimicking Du Xinqi's shout.
"Du Xinqi, can you please stop being so aloof!"
From the other side of the mountain, it seemed as if a man and a woman could be heard echoing.
Du Xinqi looked coldly at Fan Jiahong and suddenly took a few steps back.
"You've been following me?"
"Yes, I've been near you the whole time. Otherwise, how could I hear your thoughts? You want me to stay away, but I can't. Ever since you saved me, it seems like we're inextricably linked. I'm your boyfriend, and you're my girlfriend. Now the whole school knows I'm pursuing you. Why don't you just give in to me?"
Fan Jiahong grinned wickedly, but his eyes were anything but serious. He genuinely wanted to be with the girl in front of him. She possessed a kind of magic that drew him closer. He was certain she was different from others.
Du Xinqi finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.
"Aren't you supposed to be as cold as ice? Why are you still clinging to a little girl like me? Tell me, and I'll change!"
"While I may be cold as ice, I'm not heartless. You saved my life, so naturally I must repay you. Tell me what it is about you that attracts me, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you right now. You'll know the answer when you become my wife." "
To be honest, I don't know when I was poisoned, poisoned by something called 'Du Xinqi,' and there's no cure. I'm willingly succumbing to it. No matter what you change, I won't leave you, so give up on that idea of leaving me."
Du Xinqi was speechless after Fan Jiahong's words, remaining silent until Fan Jiahong broke the silence.
"Close your eyes, I'll take you to a place to see the most beautiful scenery in these mountains!"
"This is already the highest point. Is there a place even higher than this?"
"The world is vast and full of wonders, just follow me!"
Du Xinqi was still skeptical.
"Even if such a place really exists, can you guarantee my personal safety?"
"If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility!"
Du Xinqi: "..."
12
Fan Jiahong secretly made a phone call behind Du Xinqi's back, and a private jet arrived. By the time Du Xinqi realized what was happening, she was already on the plane, while Fan Jiahong was piloting it, heading forward.
Du Xinqi stood up, looking at the lush green expanse below. It truly lived up to the saying, "Looking down from above, all the mountains seem small." From this height, the mountains almost appeared as dots.
"Higher than the mountains is the sky. How about it, are you satisfied? My surprise for you."
Du Xinqi nodded, having to admit his meticulousness.
"Thank you, I've never been on a plane before, this is my first time!"
"If you're willing to be with me forever, maybe I'll take you around the world every day."
"Don't say things like that that makes me panic. Perhaps you're only curious about me. Wait until you truly love me before saying such things!"
Reality made Du Xinqi realize that a diamond-level man like Fan Jiahong wasn't something she should fantasize about. He wasn't her type!
The two played all day, returning to school breathless. As soon as Du Xinqi got back to her dorm, someone came to cause trouble. That person was Mu Lingfei.
Mu Lingfei looked at the plain-looking girl in front of her and snorted disdainfully. This kind of girl wasn't good enough for her beloved Jiahong. However, she never let her guard down around girls who approached Jiahong.
"Where did you go just now?"
Hearing the voice, Du Xinqi turned around. It was one of Fan Jiahong's admirers.
"I don't think I need to answer your question, Mu Lingfei! If you're looking for Fan Jiahong, I can only say he's not here,"
Du Xinqi said calmly. She felt Mu Lingfei was just making trouble out of nothing, and she couldn't be bothered with someone who was looking for trouble. However, Mu Lingfei felt that Du Xinqi was provoking her.
"Du Xinqi, I'm warning you, if you get close to Brother Jiahong again, I won't let you off!"
"If you're so capable, keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't have a chance to get close to me. Also, please leave. I don't welcome troublemakers like you here!"
Du Xinqi's eyes were extremely cold at this moment, as if if she didn't leave, she would have to bear consequences she couldn't bear.
For some reason, seeing Du Xinqi's cold eyes, Mu Lingfei felt a little scared. She forced herself to remain calm, gave Du Xinqi a hateful look, and then left.
13
News of Mu Lingfei going to Du Xinqi's door to cause trouble quickly reached Fan Jiahong's ears.
Fan Jiahong came to Du Xinqi's house to ask for confirmation, concerned that she had been wronged. Du Xinqi simply shook her head.
"Mu Lingfei just wanted to chat with me, she didn't mean anything by it."
"Du Xinqi, you don't need to defend her. I know very well what kind of person she is!"
Seeing that Du Xinqi was somewhat unhappy, Fan Jiahong could only change the subject.
"Be my girlfriend. I've realized I've fallen for you. We can try dating. Give me a chance, and give yourself a chance too."
"I don't know. Although you're very good to me, I don't feel anything real."
"Time is the only way to test true love. If you don't believe me, I can give you a three-month trial period. If after three months you still feel the same way, I'm willing to let go!"
"I really don't know!"
After saying this, Du Xinqi left. After she disappeared from his sight, Fan Jiahong turned around and went to find Mu Lingfei.
Seeing him arrive, Mu Lingfei was happy, but after hearing his words, her eyes were filled with resentment and sadness.
It turns out that the most painful thing in the world is that the person you love doesn't love you, and the person you don't love loves you. She loved Fan Jiahong, but Fan Jiahong didn't love her; his heart belonged to another girl.
"Brother Jiahong, what brings you here?"
Mu Lingfei went forward to greet Fan Jiahong and tried to get close to him, but Fan Jiahong subtly avoided her, preventing her from throwing herself into his arms.
“Mu Lingfei, I believe you know why I’m here, so let’s not spell it out!”
“Brother Jia Hong, what are you saying? I really don’t understand.”
“Whether you understand or not is your business. I’m just here to tell you to put away any thoughts that shouldn’t exist in your mind. You and I are impossible! I only have one person in my heart, and I only want to be good to her. If you really consider me your brother, then don’t cause her any trouble. This time, it’s fortunate that she wasn’t hurt, otherwise I would have found a way to get you out of this academy.”
“Brother Jia Hong, why? I’m not reconciled, I won’t give up on you! She’s just an ordinary girl. Besides her excellent grades, what else can she compare to me?”
As Mu Lingfei spoke, she grabbed Fan Jia Hong’s arm when he wasn’t paying attention.
“In my heart, she’s better than you in every way.”
As Fan Jia Hong spoke, he also flung Mu Lingfei’s hand away.
“Don’t touch me, I only let her touch me!”
After saying that, he walked towards the door without hesitation. He didn’t want to stay here for another second. He felt extremely disgusted by the girl in front of him.
Watching Fan Jiahong's cold back, Mu Lingfei felt his complete disregard for her feelings. Recalling his actions towards her, she grew increasingly resentful. She muttered to herself, "Du Xinqi, I won't let you get away with this. As long as I'm in school, you won't have a peaceful life."
Du
Xinqi still refused Fan Jiahong's demands, remaining skeptical of his words. Moreover, Mu Lingfei frequently caused her trouble, making her life a mess.
Meanwhile, Mu Lingtian transferred to Chloroa Academy, joining Du Xinqi's class. Mu Lingtian's arrival caused a sensation at Chloroa Noble Academy, attracting the admiration of many girls. Knowing of his arrival, Fan Jiahong's pursuit of Du Xinqi intensified!
Du Xinqi was caught between two men, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Knowing that even her own brother was protecting her rival, Mu Lingfei hated Du Xinqi even more.
"Feifei, I don't care if you like Fan Jiahong, and I can even help you, but you can't bully Du Xinqi. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just slapping you!"
Mu Lingfei couldn't believe that her brother, who always doted on her, would now severely punish her for someone she disliked so much!
After saying this, Mu Lingtian turned and left. He went specifically to the girls' dormitory to wait for Du Xinqi to appear so he could properly apologize to her on behalf of his sister. Actually, he didn't understand why he was so protective of her; perhaps he had been attracted by her every smile and gesture. Although she was plain-looking, she was kind-hearted, like an angel. He always felt very relaxed when walking with her.
But thinking about Fan Jiahong's unwavering devotion to her, Mu Lingtian's heart tightened. Fan Jiahong had gone to great lengths for her; what could he possibly offer in comparison? And how could he help his sister win him over?
Upon
learning that Mu Lingtian was also pursuing Du Xinqi, Fan Jiahong felt a sense of crisis for the first time. Mu Lingtian was no less capable than him and was even more cunning, making him a formidable rival.
Had Du Xinqi already fallen for him? Otherwise, why would she reject him time and time again?
Actually, he and Mu Lingtian were originally like brothers, but now that they both loved the same person, they probably couldn't remain brothers anymore!
Du Xinqi felt guilty knowing that they were brothers, but now they had turned against each other because of her. It was the first time she had sat down with both of them at the same time.
"Fan Jiahong, Mu Lingtian, I had no intention of provoking you. Since you appeared in my life, it has been messed up by some inexplicable people and events. You two are outstanding, surrounded by halos, while I am just an ordinary girl, only suited for an ordinary life. I heard you were originally brothers; don't let me turn you against each other. If you do, then I think we won't even have the chance to be ordinary friends."
Fan Jiahong and Mu Lingtian exchanged a glance, nodded knowingly, and shook hands, making peace.
"We've made peace, don't worry, we won't turn against each other!"
To win Du Xinqi's favor, the two boys said this in unison and swore an oath with a high five.
"Then you two can't hurt each other in the future. I don't want any of my friends to be hurt for no reason because of me."
"I've done so much for you, do you just see me as an ordinary friend? I only want to be good to you, can't you feel that?"
Fan Jiahong couldn't help but shout out his true feelings, then poured himself a glass of wine and gulped it down.
Seeing Fan Jiahong drinking glass after glass, Du Xinqi and Mu Lingtian felt very uncomfortable, and they said in unison,
"That's enough, stop drinking!"
Mu Lingtian didn't expect that Fan Jiahong had actually fallen for Du Xinqi. He originally thought that Fan Jiahong was just playing around.
Du Xinqi also didn't expect that Fan Jiahong really liked her, and more than a little.
Fan Jiahong drank glass after glass, and after a while he was slumped on the table, and if you listened carefully, you could hear him muttering to himself.
"Du Xinqi, why do you keep rejecting my advances? I really like you, do you know that?!"
As night approached, Du Xinqi and Mu Lingtian escorted him back to his dorm.
"Let go, don't touch me! I only want a girl named Du Xinqi to touch me!"
Sensing the unfamiliar aura emanating from Mu Lingtian, Fan Jiahong refused his advances without hesitation. Du Xinqi's heart trembled upon hearing this.
On the street, a drunkard could be vaguely seen acting out.
"Mu Lingtian, you drive, leave Fan Jiahong to me!"
Mu Lingtian could see Du Xinqi's worry for him, but he didn't say anything, only nodded.
Fan Jiahong continued to cause trouble, but Du Xinqi's words silenced him.
"Fan Jiahong, if you keep causing trouble, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll never talk to you again!"
Hearing this and feeling Du Xinqi's familiar presence, Fan Jiahong truly calmed down.
A Porsche drove towards Kloroa. On the
16th
, Fan Jiahong had a beautiful dream, dreaming of the person he cherished most, Du Xinqi.
In the dream, Du Xinqi gently agreed to his request. They were on the mountaintop they had visited before, a gentle breeze blowing.
"You know what? I only want to be good to you, so please say yes to be my girlfriend!"
"Okay, I say yes, I'll be your girlfriend, but you have to promise me you'll always treat me this way."
In the dream, he nodded, and then they were happily together.
...
The next day, Fan Jiahong was refreshed and alert. He hadn't actually been completely drunk the night before; his mind was perfectly clear. His feigned drunkenness was merely a test for Du Xinqi, and also an opportunity to show her his true feelings. Recalling her words and actions, he finally made a decision: he would win her over, no matter the method.
So Fan Jiahong found her; Du Xinqi was about to leave school.
"Where are you going?"
"What's it to you?"
"You're the apple of my eye; of course I have to care about your affairs."
"What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?"
"Boyfriend."
"Did I agree?"
"No, but I have a way to make you agree."
Du Xinqi looked at him with great curiosity, seemingly wanting to know how he would get her to compromise. Fan Jiahong gestured for her to come closer.
"What do you want to do?"
Fan Jiahong didn't speak, only gestured for her to come.
Du Xinqi increasingly sensed something was amiss, but remained standing where she was.
"What, are you scared?"
"Who's scared! I'm fearless!"
"Who believes that? If you're not scared, why don't you come over?"
"I won't fall for your provocation. You want me to come over? I won't!"
"Since that's the case, then I'll come over myself. Are you scared?"
"No!"
Du Xinqi thought for a moment, glared at Fan Jiahong, and then stood still. She really wanted to know what he was going to do. He approached her step by step, which made her a little nervous, but she still pretended to be calm.
Suddenly, Du Xinqi felt a magnified face approaching her. She found herself encircled in Fan Jiahong's arms, wanting to break free but powerless. Moreover, his embrace was so warm that she felt a little reluctant to leave.
"Be my girlfriend, or give me a kiss, and I'll let you go!"
"You bastard!"
"That's your honor. I'm only special to you."
After saying that, his lips touched hers. Du Xinqi blinked, indicating that she had something to say to him.
"I agree, I agree to be your girlfriend, because you've always been sincere to me!"
Fan Jiahong finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Hmm, that's a good girl! Listen, don't reject me, I only want to be good to you."

Extra Mini-Drama
(1)
Du Xinqi finally accepted Fan Jiahong, which made Fan Jiahong very happy. The two were inseparable every day, bickering and making others both envious and jealous. However, because of Fan Jiahong's protection, no one dared to do anything to Du Xinqi. As for Mu Lingfei, she had long been taken away by Mu Lingtian.
As time went by, the two became closer and closer, and Du Xinqi gradually learned some things about Fan Jiahong.
Fan Jiahong is the future heir of the Fan Group, but his mother died early, and when she was alive, she had a low status in the Fan family. Even under his father's protection, his mother still couldn't stand the ridicule of other members of the Fan family and eventually died of depression. Now, he only cares about himself and his twin sister Fan Jiaren.
I heard that he wasn't happy growing up in the Fan family. His half-sisters often bullied him and his sister, which is why he developed his current personality.
...
Du Xinqi learned about his childhood experiences from Fan Jiahong and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She stepped forward and hugged him, hoping to bring him warmth.
“I never knew you went through so much as a child. It was because of those childhood experiences that you developed your current personality, right? Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side from now on, and you won’t be unhappy.”
“Yes, I know, I know you’re great! It’s because you’re so great that I’m so attracted to you.”
“So what exactly attracted you? Can you tell me the answer?”
“I’ll tell you the answer to that question after you marry me.”
Du Xinqi threw a pillow at Fan Jiahong, who caught it. He teased, “Du Xinqi, I’m so good to you, and you’re trying to murder your husband!”
“Get lost, that sounds so nice! Do you have proof?”
“Okay, let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate tomorrow.”
“I don’t agree!”
“Whether you agree or not, I’m determined to have you! Because I only want to be good to you.”
“…”

After much persuasion, Du Xinqi was convinced, and the two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate. Regardless of whether Fan’s family agreed, Fan Jiahong was determined to marry her.
Upon meeting the Fan family, Du Xinqi felt incredibly nervous. Although Fan Jiahong's father appeared kind on the surface, she always felt he was unfathomable and difficult to get along with.
Moreover, the other members of the Fan family seemed harsh to her, except for Fan Jiahong's sister, Fan Jiaren, whom she felt some affection for.
Du Xinqi seemed to understand Fan Jiahong's deepest feelings. Growing up in such a cold family would naturally make him cold as well, but thankfully, his heart was warm, and more importantly, he had met her.
"Regardless of what you think, I must marry Du Xinqi. I hope that after she becomes my wife, you can get along well with her and not make things difficult for her. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! In this life, I only want to be good to her. Father, I hope that for my sake, you will treat your future daughter-in-law well."
Hearing Fan Jiahong's words, Du Xinqi was deeply moved, almost to tears.
“From now on, you will always belong to me alone! Listen, I only want to be good to you, so don't reject my advances. The only reason you attract me is because you are you, and everything about you.”
Fan Jiahong finally told Du Xinqi the answer to the question she wanted to know.
Du Xinqi was moved once again and hugged him tightly.
