“Xueyun, let’s have lunch together, “An Xiulan said as she passed her juice bottle to Song Xueyun and even took out some chocolates, biscuits and candies for her. She looked back at Huo Mian and the new boy and waved at them. “Can you pass to everyone after taking one?”

Li Sicheng was new to all this but Huo Mian wasn’t. She took one candy for her and another for Li Sicheng and passed it to the desk behind her.

“Just how much do you carry in your skirt pockets?” Song Xueyun asked her.

An Xiulan sheepishly smiled as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “I get a lot of sweets. My desk is always full of it. I ask people all the time to not give me things but they never listen. However, I realised that it’s better to accept food than other things. Atleast, candies and chocolates aren’t that expensive than the other things students bring me. Since I can’t eat all of them, I just distribute them to students and give most of them to the help and aid centre of the school.”

“You always sugarcoat these toppers and they love it when you come with candies and chocolates, “Song Xueyun snorted. “Stop doing this or there will be a new rumor that you are distributing food to get fans.”

An Xiulan shrugged. She watched Song Xueyun eating from her tiffin. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t butter up these toppers. I just feel bad how even after scoring double of what I score, they still feel their efforts aren’t enough. If my few sweet words can motivate them and make them feel good, I don’t mind. Also, it’s better to distribute goods than to throw them in the trash can. Do you know how many students can’t afford a decent meal in our school? There are many scholarship students who need money, food, books and uniforms.”

“Fine. Fine, “Song Xueyun groaned. “I wish my mom could pack tiffin for me too.”_.

An Xiulan laughed. “Be my bestie, I will supply you with good food everyday.”

Song Xueyun rolled her eyes. “Han Zixin is absent.”

“How do you know?” An Xiulan asked.

“If he wasn’t, you would be stuffing these vegetables into his stomach, “Song Xueyun rolled her eyes. “You hate vegetables, Xiulan.”historical

An Xiulan felt guilty. “I was just too stuffed after having lunch with, Xue’r and Qiao Wei.”

“What did they bring?” Song Xueyun asked her.

“Ahem..Yue’r brought pork ribs and Qiao Wei brought chicken, “An Xiulan said in a whisper.

Song Xueyun gasped. “You didn’t save anything for me.”

“I brought you a healthy meal and juice, “An Xiulan said righteously. “Don’t forget sweets too. If you don’t want it, I will give it to Yan Gege and Lu Xuan.”

“Don’t even think about it, “Song Xueyun hugged her sweets. “Did I tell you I called Yoona? I asked her to go to the mall with us on Sunday. Let’s watch the new movie that you were talking about.”

“Really?” An Xiulan’s eyes twinkled. She hugged Song Xueyun and said, “You are the best.”

“And we are having a sleepover at my house on Saturday, “Song Xueyun informed her.

An Xiulan’s eyes widened. She felt Song Xueyun’s forehead with her hand and said, “Xueyun, you don’t have a fever. Are you high?”

“You!!” Song Xueyun angrily looked at her. “It’s not like I want to have a sleepover when I could finish the revision of a chapter on the weekend. It’s just that my mom is threatening to take me to a therapist if I didn’t start acting like a normal teenager. So, I invited you for a sleepover and then Yoona and Yue for a movie. Nothing else!”

“Baby steps, “An Xiulan smiled like a proud mother. “After the movie, we will go to the arcade, okay? I haven’t played games for so long there.”

“One condition, “Song Xueyun said.

“What?” An Xiulan asked.

“We aren’t taking Han Zixin with us, “Song Xueyun informed.

“Why?” An Xiulan cried. “How can I go somewhere without him?”

“It’s a girl’s day. Take it or leave it” Song Xueyun said with a shrug.

An Xiulan pouted but agreed in the end.

On the last desk, Mu Wanwan was trying to figure out what this girl was doing there. She was hundred percent sure that the girl didn’t study in this class. But why was all the class so nice to her? Was it because she had won the Miss China Teen contest?

Even if An Xiulan had won the contest, she was nothing but a pretty face.

“This girl, is she from our class?” Mu Wanwan asked the girl whose bench was next to hers in the second row.

“An Xiulan?” The girl asked. “No, she is not. She is from Class K. She is Class Representative and Genius Gu’s sister. She is also friends with Song Xueyun. Well, she is friends with almost everyone in the school. From janitors to canteen staff. Oh, I forgot to tell you but she is our campus Belle too. She won last year and this year too.”

“What are the criteria for the campus Belle?” Mu Wanwan asked.

“Everything that An Xiulan has, “The girl shrugged. “From a face like her to talents like her.”

“An empty vase?” Mu Wanwan snickered.

Lu Xuan who ended up hearing the last part of the conversation to look at the person occupying the desk behind him. Mu Wanwan swallowed when she felt his chilly eyes piercing through her soul. She had never felt this stifling aura before.

“Here, “Gu Shangyan said something to Lu Xuan and the latter removed his eyes from her.

Mu Wanwan couldn’t forget the look of warning in his eyes. It was as if he was warning her to not do something stupid.

“She has many supporters in the school, “The girl said. “If you don’t like her, it’s fine. Just don’t call her names that might put you in danger. You don’t know how dangerous her best friend and brothers can be.”
