Thank you.

She walked up to Bai Fanhao and Xi Haifei. Bai Fanhao said, "Let's go. Don't worry too much, Guo Chen will take good care of her."

She nodded. Yes, she should believe Qin Yu would get through this trial; though it would be hard, she was certain she would overcome it. She nodded again, smiled briefly at Bai Fanhao, and said, "Let's go. I trust Qin Yu will pull through, just as you trust Guo Chen will take good care of Wei Yu."

Not far away, Qin Yu and Guo Chen watched the three of them walk away. Guo Chen pointed toward the cafeteria and said, "Come on, let's go in and sit."

Qin Yu did not look up, only murmured an assent, and walked inside. Guo Chen followed her in.

When Mu Qingxi and her companions appeared beneath the plane tree in the garden, they stopped in astonishment. The scene under the tree was truly shocking—Li Ruoying and Xu Ting were wrestling with each other.

Mu Qingxi glanced at Xi Haifei, then at Bai Fanhao, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Bai Fanhao shook his head. "I'd like to know myself."

Xi Haifei said nothing, but mocked the two fighting girls, "Do you think this is your house? How disgraceful!"

Mu Qingxi showed no expression, simply continued toward the classroom, ignoring everyone.

Xu Ting and Li Ruoying, seeing Mu Qingxi ignoring them, stopped fighting. Together, they shouted after her, "Mu Qingxi, stop right there!"

Mu Qingxi arched her brow. So this was all for show, just for her to see. Otherwise, how could they notice her in the middle of a scuffle?

She ignored the shouting behind her and walked on. Li Ruoying, growing anxious, hurried after her, running and calling, "Mu Qingxi, are you deaf? I told you to stop and you didn't hear me!"

Blocking Mu Qingxi's path, Li Ruoying waited for a response. Mu Qingxi said nothing. Li Ruoying, frustrated, demanded, "Hey, did you hear me? At least make a sound."

Mu Qingxi replied helplessly, "Miss, I'm not a mouse, why should I squeak? But you, standing here in front of me—what is it you want? Speak quickly, I have things to do!"

"You..." Li Ruoying was speechless for a moment, but after composing herself, she spoke in a low voice, "Thank you!"

"What?" Mu Qingxi exclaimed. "What did you say?"

Mu Qingxi could hardly be blamed for her surprise. Li Ruoying saying thank you to her was impossible. Someone who had always seen her as an enemy now expressing gratitude—anyone would be astonished.

Li Ruoying believed Mu Qingxi was pretending, and said angrily, "Mu Qingxi, what's with your expression? What do you mean by that?"

Mu Qingxi opened her eyes wide and explained, "Uh, what do you mean? I really didn't hear what you said."

Li Ruoying looked back at the confused faces behind her, then suddenly shouted loudly into Mu Qingxi's ear, "I said, thank you!"

With that, Li Ruoying quickly retreated, lowering her head and staring at her toes.

Everyone wore looks of shock and confusion. What was happening? Li Ruoying had thanked Mu Qingxi! Just days ago, they were bitter enemies, glaring at each other. How had things changed so drastically today?

Mu Qingxi was also stunned by Li Ruoying's outburst. She blinked several times before saying, "Li Ruoying, just tell me what you want. I really can't get used to you acting this way."

Li Ruoying bristled, "What do you mean, Mu Qingxi? I came to thank you for sending me to the hospital, and you talk to me like this. I shouldn't have listened to my uncle, hmph!"

Mu Qingxi finally understood—so it was because of her uncle, Xie Yingxiang. No wonder. With Li Ruoying's temperament, saying thank you was simply impossible.
