94 Returning the Necklace (2/2)

Once the young men from good families were set straight, with them as an example, the normal students would be more afraid of crossing the line.

He wondered how Mo Qingge got involved with the Five Freaks. Based on his knowledge, none of the Five Freaks had any contact with Mo Qingge.

By the time Mo Wen reached the classroom, it was already full of people. The slight delay caused by meeting Mo Qingge made it that class would start soon.

Today, Qin Xiaoyou did not bother with Mo Wen. She just gave him a glance from afar. Then, heavy heartedly, she found a seat far away from him and sat down.

Wang Xiaofei shrugged her shoulders helplessly at Mo Wen, then seated herself next to Qin Xiaoyou.

Mo Wen, uninterested, took a book of ancient poems from his drawer, flipping the book page by page. He discovered that the ancient world and Hua Xia were very similar in the past. The way poets chanted and wrote poems of various topics and styles were almost the same as that of the other world.

This was the first time Qin Xiaoyou took a class so inattentively. She stared at the textbook, not knowing what she was thinking of. Her tiny face was pale and much frailer than usual.

She subconsciously touched the necklace that Mo Wen gave her on her neck. Her eyes started to fog up unknowingly.

She did not know when she started noticing that she liked Mo Wen. Compared to their innocent friendship before, there was something new in place. Ever since the military training camp, she realized that she was getting more and more attached to Mo Wen. She found herself thinking about him a lot.

His calm smile, his silent care, his simple, yet always upheld promises.

Alas, fate was a cruel mistress. She could not be together with the person she liked. Instead, she had to pretend to spend every day with a person she hated. It was to the extent where she didn't dare to have any more contact with Mo Wen.

She knew Su Boyu's temperament. If she got close to Mo Wen, he would surely deal with Mo Wen. She did not want to involve Mo Wen in her problems.

After class, Qin Xiaoyou split with Wang Xiaofei and silently walked over to Mo Wen's seat alone.

Mo Wen was in the midst of placing the book back into his desk. The book of ancient poems wasn't his. It was left in the drawer, probably left behind by another student.

Suddenly a person appeared in front of him. He looked surprised at Qin Xiaoyou. Qin Xiaoyou had not actively approached him these few days, even somewhat avoiding him. What was up today that she would come at her own accord?

”Mo Wen, I'm sorry. That day….”

Qin Xiaoyou lowered her head. She wanted to apologize for her attitude towards Mo Wen that day, but half way through, the words wouldn't come out.

”Why are you sorry? Silly girl.” Mo Wen smiled.

”That day I was in a bad mood. Please don't mind that...I'm returning this.”

Qin Xiaoyou unlatched the necklace on her neck gently, stuffing it into his hands. Then, she turned and left without saying another word.

Mo Wen frowned slightly. Why would she return the necklace? Did she not like it?

Could it be that Qin Xiaoyou knew about the true worth of the necklace, so she did not want to receive it?

With Qin Xiaoyou's personality, if she knew about the true worth of the necklace, she would surely do such a thing.

Mo Wen helplessly tucked the necklace away. He had only given it to Qin Xiaoyou as a small token, but it had stirred up so many issues.

Since Qin Xiaoyou did not want it, he could sell the necklace now, since he was currently short of money.

After thinking a bit, since he had already given it to Qin Xiaoyou, to take it back and sell it did not feel proper. Therefore, he changed his mind about selling the necklace.

As to why Qin Xiaoyou returned the necklace to Mo Wen, she was worried that if Su Boyu knew the relationship between them, he would harm Mo Wen. Su Boyu had prestige and his family had power and influence. It wasn't something commoners could stir up without consequence. So, for the past few days, she had been gradually treating Mo Wen colder, a far cry from how they were before.

She already had the determination to take Su Boyu down with her. No matter what, she would protect her chastity, but she would also save her mother. Even if Su Boyu had laid a trap for her, what was wrong with her doing the same to him? As for the results, she didn't want to think about it. The worst case scenario would be their deaths.
