Xiao Fei, Cai Zhenzhen’s friend said, “Zhenzhen, don’t tell me the class monitor is going to confess.”

Cai Zhenzhen took a bite of a cake. “Meng Ting has always been quite timid. Isn’t she a self-proclaimed genius artist? Who couldn’t wait to turn common words into a poetic piece when she speaks? I can hardly even imagine what she would say if she really confessed.”

Xiao Fei was a little worried. “Did she succeed then?”

After all, the two of them just saw Meng Ting come back with a happy and rosy face.

Cai Zhenzhen shook her head with certainty. “No.”

Xiao Fei asked doubtfully, “Why?”

“Because such ideas are absolutely not in Jian Mei’s mind at all. Even if Meng Ting confessed, as long as she didn’t tell him directly, Jian Mei might just think that she wants to be his sworn sister.” Cai Zhenzhen rolled her eyes. “You can never understand straight guys’ line of thinking.”

As she spoke, she glanced at the young man sitting with a group of people who were laughing and talking not so far away.

Over the years, it could be seen even with a naked eye that Jian Mei had grown mature. From a thin and frail child to a handsome and elegant young man. This child was somewhat introverted in junior high school but now it seemed that he had gradually integrated with his classmates. Even though he had opened up and could easily get along with people, he still had his own persistence and attitude towards life. He had a very gentle personality and usually liked to be alone as he didn’t like noisy surroundings. When he had nothing to do, he’d often read a book or read on his phone and was used to living in his own world.

At first, Cai Zhenzhen thought that such people were boring.

But later on, she discovered Jian Mei’s history of staying in the hospital for many years for treatment. Every time she looked at Jian Mei who was reading a book alone, it was as if she could see the appearance of a skinny child reading a book alone in the hospital through the young man sitting by the table.

He had been living like that since he was a child.

He had to get used to living like that while other children were playing around.

Sometimes, Jian Mei’s thoughts were different from everyone else’s. Before, she always thought this child was very stupid but realized later that Jian Mei just had no experience at all. He had no friends and never integrated into a group. At the age of six, still young and ignorant, he was admitted to the hospital. He didn’t have the chance to experience the life of an ordinary child.

Cai Zhenzhen took a sip of the fruit wine. “At the very least, you have to wait for a few years for him to understand things properly.”

Xiao Fei said, “Zhenzhen, you know more about Jian Mei than Tingting.”

Cai Zhenzhen just smiled and didn’t say anything.

How long has it been since Meng Ting has been here ah? She had been with Jian Mei for a long time. In terms of time and seniority, how could this little girl be better than her? If she was sure, she would’ve been there already. How could it be Meng Ting’s turn?

Jian Mei replied, “Dazhuang-ge.”

Xiao Pang clicked his tongue. He purposely lengthen his words and said with a meaningful tone, “Dazhuang-geeveryday~”

Xiao Pang felt a little uncomfortable. “Don’t think like that. I think the technology will be more developed in the future, so your disease will definitely be cured.”

Jian Mei smiled at him. Obviously, he was the one being comforted but he always gave others a comforting feeling. “En, thank you.”

Xiao Pang was a little embarrassed but still wanted to comfort his friend, so he added, “Don’t worry. If it’s really impossible to marry a wife, you can still find a husband!”

Jian Mei looked baffled.

Xiao Pang joked, “I think Dazhuang-geis pretty goodah. How did you guys meet?”

Jian Mei said, “Don’t joke around. He’s just a friend. Uhm… I met him on WeChat, he’s an online friend. Although I haven’t met him, he’s a very nice person.”

Upon mentioning WeChat, Xiao Pang glanced at Jian Mei’s phone. “Meimei, what is the brand of your phone? I’ve never seen it. I heard from Zhenzhen and the others that you’ve been using that phone for four years. Does it not lag? The system must also be outdated.”

“I don’t know what brand it is, maybe it’s some random brand.” Jian Mei picked up the phone that had been with him for many years. “It’s not old. It works very well and doesn’t lag at all.”

Xiao Pang sighed emotionally. “This knockoff phone is awesome.”

Jian Mei smiled. They talked for a long time but eventually fell asleep when they finally couldn’t help it. While he was having a good night’s sleep, he didn’t know that someone was up all night.

When Zuo Qingshan saw Lu Xingwang, he shouted, “Your Highness, I heard that you went over to give them an extra training lesson last night and you didn’t sleep all night?”

Lu Xingwang looked at him with raised brows. “Is there a problem?”

“Well, there’s nothing wrong with that.” Zuo Qingshan touched his nose. “But can your body bear it?”

Lu Xingwang ignored him.

Zuo Qingshan knew that this person didn’t eat or sleep on time every day and said, “You can’t go on like thisah. Be careful or I’ll snitch on you to that kid.”

He couldn’t control His Highness but someone else could. Jian Mei, that kid with a nagging mouth, let’s see who wouldn’t be afraid.

Lu Xingwang glared at him threateningly and finally made him shut up.

He was currently playing archery, a sport he was best at. But today, just like what Zuo Qingshan said, his results were surprisingly bad and he even missed a target.

Zuo Qingshan went over. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so distracted today?”

Lu Xingwang put down the bow. “It’s nothing.”

Zuo Qingshan clicked his tongue. He watched Lu Xingwang leave and murmured, “If I hadn’t known that you were single, I would’ve wondered if you’d recently lost your love.”

Lu Xingwang paused in his steps before walking out of the door.

Although Zuo Qingshan was just talking nonsense, he couldn’t deny the fact that his mistake today had something to do with Jian Mei. He thought that what Jian Mei said last night would have a little effect on him but unexpectedly he couldn’t sleep at all last night. After training in the army all night, he was still distracted.

This wasn’t a good thing, feelings were the number one taboo in the imperial family. He couldn’t afford to be distracted at this time. Rationality had always been something he was proud of, he wouldn’t allow himself to fall off the wagon at such a critical time.

Forget it.

He thought, “I’ll reduce contact with Jian Mei for the time being so I could clear my mind and let Jian Mei get along with his friends.”

This decision was good for both of them.

The next day

Jian Mei was woken up by a phone call early in the morning.

He didn’t expect the class monitor to call him at this time. He answered it and heard the class monitor’s voice. “Meimei, I have something I want to give you. Is it alright for you to go out today?”

“Why? Jian Mei was puzzled.

Meng Ting was a bit shy. After all, every girl would be embarrassed about going on a date for the first time. “Keep it a secret first, I’ll tell you when you come.”

“Okay then.” Jian Mei was helpless.

Xiao Pang also woke up. “What’s wrong?”

“The class monitor said she wants to give me something and wants to meet at the mall.” Jian Mei yawned. “Is the mall close to your house? I don’t have a car, can you drive me there?”

Xiao Pang nodded. “You can treat me to dinner later then.”

Jian Mei was very generous. “No problem, let’s eat after getting our things.”

Xiao Pang hurriedly got up to wash and followed Jian Mei. Today was the weekend so there were many people in the mall. Meng Ting waited for Jian Mei and when she saw Xiao Pang next to him, the smile on her face almost disappeared.

“Class monitor, what do you want to give me?” asked Jian Mei.

Meng Ting couldn’t take out the things in her pockets in front of Xiao Pang, so she could only come up with a reason. “Well, because you all helped me a lot before, I want to invite you to a meal.”

Xiao Pang said, “You’re too polite, Class Monitor.”

Meng Ting smiled embarrassingly.

“You’re too polite. But since we’re all here, let me invite you to eat. What do you want to eat?”

“Anything’s fine.”

The two answered at the same time.

Jian Mei just wanted to agree when he saw a child stumble in his peripheral vision. There was a bumpy floor in front of the kid and was about to fall, so Jian Mei quickly walked over to help him. After the child stood up, Jian Mei turned around but accidentally bumped into a passerby walking from behind him so he bowed his head and apologized. “I’m sorry.”

The middle-aged man wearing a mask shook his head and left.

Jian Mei glanced at him one more time and felt a bit strange.

Xiao Pang came over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Jian Mei shook his head gently. “Let’s go upstairs to eat.”

Xiao Pang quickly agreed. Although he didn’t know why the class monitor was acting a bit strange, he didn’t bother much as long as he could happily eat. The three discussed for a while and finally decided to eat hot pot. They took a seat after finding a hot pot restaurant on the top floor. The waiter said, “You can order by scanning the code on your phone.”

Jian Mei nodded and subconsciously took out his phone from his pocket. But not long after, he froze in place.

Xiao Pang and Meng Ting asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”

Jian Mei’s face gradually turned ashen. He quickly flipped through his other pockets and the despair in his eyes became even stronger. Finally, he looked up but his eyes were red. “I seem to have lost my phone.”
