Qin Mengyao wore a slightly proud expression. When she realized that the female companion next to Ye Fan seemed a bit naive, she felt a sense of pride.

Although I was a bit unruly in the past, I didn't lose my bottom line and can still make amends. Now, I'm a university student and can rightfully pursue Ye Fan's love, while you seem a bit silly.

Women have a tendency to compare, especially strong-willed girls like Qin Mengyao.

Ye Fan laughed, "It's the first time meeting a big celebrity and asking for an autograph, I feel a bit embarrassed. Let's wait for another opportunity."

"Fan, you're too greedy. From what you said, you want to meet Xiaoxiao again in the future?" Qin Mengyao smiled brightly. "Xiaoxiao, you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"

"I... I do feel a bit uncomfortable, Yaoyao. I'll head back to the apartment first, we can chat later." Yang Xiaoting still hadn't shaken off the shadows of last night, looking downcast.

Qin Mengyao nodded and stood up to see her off. At this time, some students staying back for the holidays witnessed the situation and envied Ye Fan.

"Who is he, hanging out with three beauties at once? That beauty seems to be Yang Xiaoting."

"It really is her. Yang Xiaoting, who usually doesn't return to school much due to filming, has come before the semester starts. Is she here to take a break from school?"

...

All kinds of gossip were voiced right in front of Yang Xiaoting, which was also a form of harassment for a girl.

Being exposed to the screen too early, Yang Xiaoting endured things an ordinary girl couldn't. To others, she seemed glamorous, but behind the glamour lay bitterness, just like last night's incident. If it happened once, it might happen again.

"Fan, it seems you really like Xiaoxiao, yet you say you don't want her autograph." Qin Mengyao, seeing Ye Fan absentmindedly staring at Yang Xiaoting's back, said jealously.

Ye Fan turned back and smiled, "I was just thinking, with her attending classes like this at school, wouldn't she get harassed?"

"Once during an online chat, she mentioned to me that it wasn't that bad before. After all, she's only a sophomore. But in the past six months, three dramas she starred in aired simultaneously, and she suddenly became famous. Many have invited her to act in films. That's just the way it is when you're famous." Qin Mengyao said, feeling somewhat envious. Girls always hope to be in the limelight.

"Does she still live on campus? In a public dorm?" Ye Fan asked.

"There are apartment singles on campus. I live there too. Want to come with me to have a look?" Qin Mengyao revealed a cunning smile. "It's still the holiday, so there's not many people in the apartments. If you sneak in, no one will notice. Maybe you could even visit Xiaoxiao's room."

Ye Fan shook his head with a smile, "No need, I'll be leaving soon."

"Fan, you're so insincere. You're probably just fulfilling an agreement with my aunt to humor me, right? Actually, what I didn't finish that day can be completed today..." Qin Mengyao blushed, clearly recalling what she did for Ye Fan in the car that day, and at that time, Ye Fan didn't push her away. "Fan, send me back to the apartment. You didn't send me upstairs that day. This is the school, I'm no longer a little girl who has naïve fantasies."

Ye Fan glanced at Lan Jing, nodded to Qin Mengyao, "I'll take you back to your apartment, see where you live, and then we'll leave."

"Oh." Qin Mengyao was still disappointed. She had hoped Ye Fan would come alone, but he brought a beauty, implying there'd be no result between them.

Since Qin Mengyao moved into the school a day early, she only had a few books tightly hugged in her arms. The three of them walked through the woods. At this moment, in the soccer field shaded by trees, a group of boys was playing soccer, and suddenly the ball came towards Ye Fan. A boy shouted, "Beauty, help kick it over."

Ye Fan laughed and asked, "Can I kick it?"

"Sure, hurry up, just a favor," the boy urged.

Ye Fan ran up and gave it a kick. The soccer ball swept up some turf and, with a huge curve, it flew into the far corner of the goal net, stunning the boys. After a while, the boy exclaimed, "Wow, Shaolin soccer!"

Ye Fan ignored the boys and walked with Qin Mengyao towards the girls' apartment.

"Fan, I didn't know you were so good at soccer, but I can't play." Qin Mengyao showed an envious expression. She wasn't envious of Ye Fan's soccer skills but wanted Ye Fan to agree to teach her so she could spend more time with him.

"I can't play either. Just kicked randomly." Ye Fan shrugged.

Qin Mengyao cast Ye Fan a displeased look, as if saying, for something so skilled, don't give me such a lame excuse to refuse me.

They finally reached the girls' apartment, which was different from ordinary dormitories. They were apartment rooms, each with a single room and independent kitchen and bathroom. Some girls with better family backgrounds lived there, as did some female lecturers.

"Fan, be careful. I live on the fourth floor. If someone sees, it'll be hard to explain."

From the outside, the girls' apartment looked nice, but inside it was ordinary, even without an elevator.

The three went upstairs together, and outside Qin Mengyao's fourth-floor room, she opened the door to let Ye Fan and Lan Jing in to visit her room, which was simply decorated. Qin Mengyao said a bit dejectedly, "Fan, I just moved in yesterday and haven't had time to decorate. If I'd known you were coming today, I would've bought more decorations."

Ye Fan smiled, "It's nice this way, simple."

"Fan, you think so too? I've grown to like simplicity now. Look, I don't even wear makeup anymore." Qin Mengyao was speaking when her phone rang. She looked and said, "Fan, wait here for a while. I need to go to the counselor's office to complete my registration."

"No need, I'm about to leave," Ye Fan said.

"You have to stay, at least for a meal. My aunt said you were coming, and I already prepared food, all in the fridge. One good thing here is that it's well equipped. Fan, you mustn't leave, or I'll hate you forever!"

Qin Mengyao was afraid she wouldn't see Ye Fan when she returned, so she left in a hurry.

Lan Jing curiously looked around the room. She didn't need to sleep, but seeing such a clean and elegant room made her feel a bit pleased. Ye Fan asked, "Do you want to live here too?"

"Uh?" Lan Jing first showed a confused expression and then nodded, seeming to agree.

Just then, the door was suddenly opened, and Yang Xiaoting's voice came through, "Yaoyao..."

When Yang Xiaoting came in and saw that Qin Mengyao wasn't there, only Ye Fan and Lan Jing, she stammered, "I... I came to find Meng Yao. She just messaged me saying she's on the fourth floor and told me to come."

Ye Fan immediately realized that Qin Mengyao noticed his interest in Yang Xiaoting, so she pretended to be present to let Yang Xiaoting come and meet him.

"She just went out; she'll be back soon," Ye Fan said with a smile. "If you have something to talk about, sit and wait."
