  Xia Cha was startled when her slender wrist was suddenly held by the man’s long and strong hand.

  She glanced at the man on the bed. His eyes were still closed. She tried to pull her wrist away from his grasp, but it was no use.

  The man was clearly not asleep. As she struggled, he tightened his grip on her wrist.

  Xia Cha’s ears felt hot.

  “What are you doing… Let go!”


  The man lifted his eyelids and said hoarsely, “I’m thirsty.”


  “Drink water if you’re thirsty.”


  A lazy smile appeared on his handsome face. “Feed me.”


  Xia Cha glared at him, but the more she glared, the more the man smiled.

  He smiled like a demon.

  Even if Xia Cha did not like him, she could not look at his smile for a long time.

  After all, people could not resist things that were too good.

  In order to get rid of him as soon as possible, Xia Cha picked up the cup with her other hand and fed it to him.

  He seemed to be really thirsty. After she fed him the water, he lifted his neck slightly and started drinking.

  Perhaps it was because he drank too quickly, there were water stains that slid down his thin and handsome chin and his Adam’s apple to his shirt collar.

  He finished the glass of water before moving his lips away from the glass.

  “The water poured by the Little Camellia is really delicious.”


  His long and narrow eyes were filled with an inexplicable affection and gentleness.

  Xia Cha did not respond to his words. She put the cup aside and pulled her other wrist that was still tightly held by him.

  “Can you let go now?”


  As soon as Xia Cha finished speaking, the man tightened his grip on her wrist.

  Caught off guard, she fell into his arms. His hand that was holding her wrist move to hold her slender waist.

  He buried his face in the neck of her hair that was scattered all over, gently inhaling the sweet scent of her hair.

  “Let me hug you just for a moment…”


  Xia Cha could not hear what he said. At this moment, she was embarrassed and angry. She wanted to kick him to death.

  She struggled to get up from his arms and her gaze landed on his face. Their gazes met and he smiled lightly. His hair fell over his forehead and he exuded an inexplicable evil aura.

  Xia Cha did not dare to look at him again. She covered his head with the blanket and fled in panic.

  If she ever saw this dangerous man again, she would have to take a detour.

  …


  Xia Cha fell asleep very late and woke up late the next day.

  However, the benefit of waking up late was that the dangerous person had already left.

  Xia Cha heaved a sigh of relief.

  She could not afford to offend him, but could she not avoid him?

  Two days before Xia Cha reported to No.1 High School, Xia Zhenyuan and Qiu Zhi heard about what had happened to the Xia family’s old residence.

  Half of the fruit trees in the fruit garden of the Xia family mansion had been dug out. Initially, an investor had agreed to invest in them, but it had gone down the drain.

  After Xia Wangshi found out that she had been cheated, she had a big fight with Xia Zhenxiang. In the end, she was accidentally pushed to the ground by Xia Zhenxiang and her head hit the cabinet, and she was hospitalized.

  She heard that it had been Xia Furong was the one who had introduced the investor to them, and that Xia Furong had run away to Yan City a long time ago in order to avoid responsibility.

  Since Xia Wangshi couldn’t find Xia Furong, she could only vent their anger on Xia Zhenxiang and Ye Guixiang.

  Instead of managing to get back at them, she had been sent to the hospital.

  After Xia Wangshi was hospitalized, Xia Zhenli and his wife only visited her once. Xia Zi was about to go to high school, so she had gone to Yan City with Xia Furong early. Xia Zhenxiang and his wife didn’t want to have any conflict with Xia Wangshi again, so they naturally wouldn’t go to the hospital to get scolded. There was only Old Master Xia taking care of Xia Wangshi.

  Xia Wangshi felt a trace of desolation. In the past, she had also fallen ill and had been hospitalized. However, at that time, it was Qiu Zhi who had been serving her. When she could not walk, ut was also Xia Zhenyuan who had carried her.

  Now that the second branch was separated, no one came to take care of her.

  Xia Wangshi thought of Xia Zhenyuan. She called Xia Zhenyuan and said a lot of good things about him.

  Xia Cha thought that Xia Zhenyuan would be soft-hearted and would send Qiu Zhi to take care of Xia Wangshi. But this time, Xia Zhenyuan did not act foolishly. He understood Xia Wangshi and that she only thought of him when she needed him now. Once she was discharged from the hospital and was alive and kicking, her heart ould still for the third branch of the eldest branch.

  “I didn’t expect Dad to be so tough this time,” Xia Xing and Xia Cha said as they rode the bus to No.1 High School.

  Xia Cha sighed, “Dad was hurt by Grandma in the past. He’s completely disappointed.”


  Xia Xing said, “If you ask me, this old woman deserved it. She was so biased, but in the end, those that she favored were all ingrates!”


  Xia Cha pursed her lips. “When she gets older in the future, she will probably suffer.”


  Xia Xing waved her hand and said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about this old woman anymore. By the way, have you been in contact with Young Master Huo recently? We’re going to school in Yan City. Will he let us visit his house?”


  “Second Sister, why are you bringing him up? I don’t want to be a guest at their house at all.”


  Xia Xing looked at Xia Cha, “He’s so handsome. Are you really not moved at all?”


  “He’s not my type.”


  “Then what kind do you like?”


  Xia Cha bit her lip and a vague outline appeared in her mind, “I don’t know either. Maybe someone more mature and steady. But I’m still young and have never thought about relationships!”


  Xia Xing looked at Xia Cha’s beautiful side profile and softly acknowledged her.

  …


  A month after school started, there was an exam.

  Xia Cha ranked first in the cohort.

  On this day, Xia Cha went to the canteen to eat. Suddenly, a few senior girls rushed over and blocked her way.

  “You are Xia Cha?”


  Xia Cha looked at them and frowned, “I am.”


  As soon as she finished speaking, one of the girls flung the plate in her hand to the ground. “You came in through special means, right? We’ve seen the posts about you on the forum. You sold yourself and sang at a nightclub. You’ve disgraced the students of No.1 High School. How dare you come here to study?”


  Xia Cha looked at the plate that had been thrown to the ground. Her face was tense and her eyes were cold. “I got in by my own efforts. Also, the students who slander others according to rumors are the ones who are truly disgracing No.1 High School!”


  “Ha, ha, this little girl is quite sharp-tongued!” The leading girl shouted, “Everyone, come and take a look. This is the famous Xia Cha. She’s a top student, ands a nightclub singer. She even pretends to be aloof. Isn’t she disgusting?”


  “Such a person should get out of our school!”


  The atmosphere suddenly became intense. Suddenly, someone threw an egg at Xia Cha.

  Xia Cha did not have time to dodge. The egg fell from her head.

  Xia Cha pursed her lips and clenched her fists.

  Just as the other egg was about to be thrown, a tall and thin figure blocked her way.

  “What are you doing? Stop!”


  Xia Cha looked up and saw a handsome and gentle face.
