The temperament of the two was very different, but they oddly matched.

One was filled with joy, and the other was willing to cooperate.

This scene stung Huo Ningxi's eyes, causing him to scrape the floor and make a harsh sound as he dragged his chair across the ground.

Without lifting his head, Huo Yunque remained calm.

"Ningxi, good morning."

Huo Ningxi took a deep breath as his eyes fell upon the mature man. After some time, he finally said solemnly, "Good morning."

The maids brought in their breakfast.

Song Yaoyao's plate had a fried egg and some poached vegetables. Next to her, there was a glass of hot milk.

The dining table was really big. Huo Ningxi sat the farthest apart.

He watched as Huo Yunque naturally grabbed the girl's wrist and pulled her onto the chair next to his.

"Song Yaoyao, eat your breakfast."

"Why doesn't our interaction feel any different?" Song Yaoyao complained as she clenched her fists.

He even called her by her full name.

Amusement appeared in Huo Yunque's eyes as they fell upon the newspaper. "What's supposed to change?"

Song Yaoyao took a bite of her egg. "You don't sound sweet at all! People in relationships don't greet each other like this!"

At least, in the novels she read, people in relationships weren't like this.

This was too much!

Snap...

Huo Ningxi snapped his chopsticks in half. His expression looked normal, but his throat twitched a little.

Huo Yunque knocked on the table. "Get Huo Ningxi a new set of chopsticks."

He then tilted his head and asked, "How should I be greeting you then?"

Song Yaoyao drank her milk and mumbled, "Precious, babe, honey, sweetie, baby, or even wifey! The people in novels aren't like you. You're not—"

"Babe, eat your breakfast."

The man's deep and charming voice sounded. Song Yaoyao opened her mouth and the milk left a white mustache on top of her lips.

Her heart raced as Huo Yunque grabbed a tissue and wiped her mouth for her.

As he wiped, he suddenly spotted a bit of red amongst the white milk...

Song Yaoyao's nose was bleeding...

She had been teased too much...

Thump—

Huo Ningxi immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and rushed out of the dining room.

"I'm done. Enjoy your meal!"

He sounded like he was gritting his teeth as he said this.

...

It was Christmas the previous day but Song Jingwan had spent it in hospital.

Yet, she couldn't tell anyone that Xu Yue pushed her because she was holding information against her.

That moment when she looked into Xu Yue's eyes, it was chilling.

She knew that Xu Yue was extremely hostile toward her.

"Good morning, Jingwan."

An Ruoyao, took over from the nurse and pushed Song Jingwan into the academic building.

"Good morning, Yaoyao. Did you see Ningxi?"

"Young Master Huo?" When she heard this, An Ruoyao blinked teasingly. "He's not here yet. Why don't we wait for him downstairs so he can carry you up~ I never noticed before, but Young Master has great boyfriend potential!"

"Shut up! We are just...friends!"

Song Jingwan glanced at her but she couldn't control her lips from curving and forming a smile.

"Look at yourself. If you're just friends, then why are you blushing?" An Ruoyao said mischievously. "Don't worry, I bet he likes you too. When have you seen him get close to another girl?"
