Su Chenxing walked out of the class with a triumphant smile and then spotted Zhu Ai Qing close to the staircase.
She quickened her steps and on getting to where Zhu Ai Qing was, she was suddenly dragged towards the staircase and they both hastily descended the staircase.
"What were you thinking?" Zhu Ai Qing asked " I clearly said stay away from trouble but you went ahead and tossed yourself into the centre of it and even with Wei Xinyi".
"She started it and I Su Chenxing never suffers a loss hmph". Su Chenxing stated boldly and walked ahead of a stunned Zhu Ai Qing.
Zhu Ai Qing hastily followed her and grabbed her hand and led her to the school canteen.
"On the way there, Su Chenxing noticed glances in her direction and soft whispers "It's her" those were one of the sentences she caught but you chose to ignore them.
Su Chenxing could already guess a video of both Su Chenxing and Wei Xinyi had gone viral hence the students reaction.
"You'll explain what happened but first let's get our lunch" Zhu Ai Qing said as she led Su Chenxing to the line that awaited them.
It got to their turn and Su Chenxing spotted her favorite snack but she decided not to go for it. Instead she bought a bottle of fruit juice and sandwiches.
Su Chenxing looked around the school's cafeteria and couldn't spot the School Pillars anywhere. They were probably somewhere else and didn't enjoy the crowd and could probably cause a commotion like earlier that morning.
Su Chenxing and Zhu Ai Qing found and empty seat and proceeded to make their selves comfortable.
"Spill" Zhu Ai Qing said as she sat down looking eagerly at Su Chenxing.
Su Chenxing raised an eyebrow, she seemed more interested in the gossip than the trouble she might have gotten herself into and by trouble 'powerful enemy.'
"Wei Xinyi insulted me and even said I looked like a pig, I might not look good looking but my appearance is not that bad, right?" Su Chenxing asked to be sure she wasn't the only one with that opinion.
"Nah, you look nothing like a pig" Su Chenxing began to nod her head in satisfaction.
"You just look like a lost property" Su Chenxing suddenly felt like she'd been shot as she held her chest emotionally damaged by Zhu Ai Qing's statement.
Zhu Ai Qing clenched her lips together as she looked the other way making it look like she hadn't said something hurtful.
Looking at Su Chenxing's reaction she burst out in laughter earning a few glances from neighboring tables.
"Okay, Okay. I'm just joking, you're not that bad, you just look pretty ordinary, trust me, but those glasses don't help your appearance at all, If you removed them it'd be much better." Zhu Ai Qing suggested.
Su Chenxing gave an eyeroll as she began to eat her lunch and Zhu Ai Qing followed suit.
"Well though you did get yourself in trouble, I fully support you" Zhu Ai Qing said with a smile.
"Thanks" Su Chenxing said as she finished her last sandwich.
"Woah were you really that hungry, I didn't think you were going to finish all that and you finished it fast look at me I'm still in the second one!!!" Zhu Ai Qing exclaimed.
It turned out Su Chenxing's 'few sandwiches' were a bit too much especially since she was a girl. Girls these days were so careful on the kind of food they ate and the quantity.
Su Chenxing shrugged her shoulders as she drank her fruit juice. "Well I feel refreshed" she said.
Zhu Ai Qing smiled "You know when I saw you this morning I just felt something was different about you and I'm just compelled to be by your side" Zhu Ai Qing said looking intently at Su Chenxing.
"That brings me to the question, what kind of person are you Su Chenxing? because I plan on staying by you from now on and I plan on being your very close friend cause something tells me if I become that I'll be taken for quite a ride and I always trust my gut" Zhu Ai Qing asked.
Su Chenxing looked at the girl in front of her, she wasn't aware that the so called ride she'd be taken on would be much more complex than she imagined.
Su Chenxing let out a grin "Well Miss Zhu, I just happen to be one of a kind and since you've decided to be on my side even though you'll get yourself in trouble, I'll be selfish just this once, and the first trouble involves Bitch Yun" Su Chenxing said.
"No way" Zhu Ai Qing let out a Chuckle "You already gave her a nickname ha this is just hilarious" Zhu Ai Qing kept laughing.
"I guess I haven't made the wrong choice". Zhu Ai Qing said after she calmed down. She went ahead to stretch her hand for a handshake. "Let's have a fun time shall we?" Zhu Ai Qing said.
"Sure" Su Chenxing said accepting the handshake, they both looked at their hands and laughed a bit and kept talking until break was over.

School Rooftop...
Three boys could be seen relaxing on the rooftop. One had his eyes closed appearing peaceful as the dark locks danced in the wind.
The other boy had his headphones down around his neck as he held a book with a dark cover to his face. He was reading a book by Josh Grisham, the book titled 'The Client'.
He seemed very interested in the book as his blue eyes were so focused on the novel.
The last boy had a smiley expression, he could make other expressions but it seemed he liked it that way as he appeared carefree. He held a phone in his hand as he was absorbed in it.
The three boys were Emperor Highs' School Pillars. The three of them together made a perfect picture as the three had their unique auras which somehow blended harmoniously.
"Ayee, finally defeated the boss, all my hard work really paid of" Li Haoyu exclaimed with a loud voice the gentle voice he had used earlier that morning was nowhere to be seen as it had been replaced with a childish one.
"Lu Zhifan when are you going to play with me, come on it's been a long time".
Lu Zhifan hearing the disturbance closed the book he held and then hit Li Haoyu on the head with it.
"Do you have to be so noisy?" a deep cool voice could he heard on the rooftop.
Lu Zhifan sighed and then continued as he reopened the book "I'll play with you when I'm done reading all the books by this author, till then be calm like you usually are in public and not so annoying"
Li Haoyu rubbed the part of his head where he had been hit and let out a huff while he stared at the boy in front of him.
"That reminds me, who's Zhu Ai Qing" Li Haoyu asked.
Lu Zhifan slightly stiffened on hearing the name but it wasn't noticeable as he acted like he hadn't heard the name before.
"I don't know who that is" he said as he continued to read.
"Hmm...yeah I don't believe that" Li Haoyu said as his smile widened.
Lu Zhifan gave him a side glance and returned his gave back to the book.
"Since you're so nosy Yichen might as well assign you some work, don't you agree?" the question directed at My Yichen who had his eyes closed throughout their exchange.
"No no no no, I won't ask anymore questions at all, Yichen don't listen to him at all" Li Haoyu said trying to avoid any form of work.
"Can't you be silent" said My Yichen's icy cold voice immediately silencing Li Haoyu.
Lu Zhifan gave him a glance that lasted a few seconds before landing on his novel.
"Quarreled with your father again?" Lu Zhifan asked.
Mu Yichen finally opened his eyelids revealing two dark orbs that appeared lifeless, void of emotion. He had the gaze of one who had contempt for the world.
"My Father continues to be the foolish man he is, allowing himself to be a puppet on a woman's strings, truly... disappointing"....
