Ya Nuo's eyelashes fluttered as she slowly closed her eyes and lifted her head to kiss Huan Hei.

'...Y..Ya Nuo is.. is she going to kiss me? What does this mean? Does she like me? Are we going to kiss?' he squeezed his eyes closed tightly causing creases to form at the edge of his eyelids and forehead.

”What are you guys doing here?!!” an extremely strict and loud male voice startled them in the room.

”t..teacher Wang..” Hen Qing turned around and greeted their home room teacher with an awkward smile.

”It's time for us to lock the gates. The three of you are lucky that I actually walk around to double-check if everyone has gone home or else you three would have to sleep in school.”

”S.sorry.” they apologized.

”What were you guys doing? If you two want to do something inappropriate, then go back to your houses or the hotel. Don't do this at school.”

”You misunderstood us. We were posing for Hen Qing's art scholarship. She asked us for this favor and we are modeling for her.” Huan Hei explained.

”Oh, I see. Alright, but it is getting late so all of you go home for today.”

”Okay. See you tomorrow, teacher Wang.” the three of them smiled and grabbed their bags.

After they walked past the entrance gate, Hen Qing waved good bye and walked the opposite direction. After she left, Ya Nuo and Huan Hei walked in awkward silence on their way to Taekwondo house.

'I knew I shouldn't have made that move. Even though we didn't kiss, I probably scared him. what should I do...'

'Hmm.. she's quiet. Could it be that she's shy? Was she really going to kiss me? She was never this bold before. Unless... she wasn't trying to kiss me and it was just my imagination? What should I say or do...'

'I got it!' both of them thought at that same time.

Both of them said at the same time, ”Do you want to go eat?”

”Hahahaha, sure”

Meanwhile, Hen Qing stopped walking a few blocks after separating from them. ”You can come out now.”

The Boogey Man appeared behind her, ”When did you realize I was following you?”

”Since the beginning. Why are you here?”

”I just wanted to check up on how you're doing.”

”Very well. Without your existence, I'm living very well.”

”I see. I saw you with the two guys earlier. Who were they? Your classmates?”

”None of your business. Don't you dare lay a finger on any of them either. Make a move and I promise you won't see me ever again.”

”I just want to make sure you aren't following anyone bad.”

”Hah, anyone bad? Do you have any right to say this about other people? You're pretty contradicting.”

”Anyways, I deposited money into your card. You didn't use any money that I've deposited. If you need money, use the card. Take care of yourself.” he tried to rub her head, but his hand was immediately slapped away.

”Don't touch me with your dirty fingers. I don't need your dirty money. You can save it for yourself.”

”Hen Qing, I..”

”Enough, leave. I can protect myself. I don't want to see you.” she covered her ears with both hands and shut her eyes tight. Her body trembled as she breathed heavily. The Boogey man sighed and slowly walked away while looking back at her hoping to see her for a bit longer. ”Call me if you're ever in trouble. I'll always come for you as long as I get your message.”

Hen Qing turned around and ran away immediately.
