Those who’d been peeking laughed out loud.
Being laughed at made the boy’s face even redder.
He straightened up and rushed inside, not daring to look at Yanran again.

Feng Wu was reading a romance novel at her seat.
Ink felt she was sorely lacking in information when it came to love, so he had lent her several books out of friendship.
She had been nibbling through them all day.

“Feng . . .
Feng Wu, go to the door.
Yanran is waiting for you.” The boy looked at Feng Wu anxiously, as if expecting her to hurry and not keep Yanran waiting.

“Yanran?” Yanran was looking for her? Feng Wu blinked, not understanding why Yanran would want to see her.

“Yeah.
Hurry and go.
Don’t make her wait for you!” He reached out to grab Feng Wu’s hand to take her out, but before he even touched her, his hand was slapped hard.

Ink had done the slapping.

“What do you want?! Dare grab other people?” Ink glared at the other boy, as if daring him to try again.
He wouldn’t be so polite to the boy next time.

The boy reddened, suddenly realizing he’d behaved inappropriately.

“I’m sorry.
I didn’t mean to do that.
I was just anxious.
It’s not good to keep Yanran waiting too long.”

“You’re really interested in her huh? It’s a pity your family is too far below hers.” A girl had noticed the interaction and was impressed by the boy’s desire to please Yanran.

“I know.
Rushing out to suck up to her.
The boys are a bunch of idiots who only know to judge someone by their looks.”

“Hey! Stop slandering! The rest of us haven’t done anything!” proclaimed a boy loudly.
He felt unjustly misaligned!

“Yeah, what does this have to do with us?”

A heated debate between the genders ensued, but neither Feng Wu nor Ink joined in.

“Xiao Wu, are you going to see Yanran?”

Feng Wu nodded.
She disliked Yanran a little because she constantly made Little Bun cry, but other than that, Feng Wu didn’t feel any kind of way about her cousin.

“Well then go on! And remember to fill me in on the details later.” Ink whispered his encouragement to Feng Wu.
He was also curious what Yanran was up to.

Feng Wu glanced at him then walked out of the classroom to see Yanran.
This was the first time they were meeting outside of home.

“Xiao Wu? Oh it’s so good to see you,” breathed out Yanran.
“Why didn’t you come to see me and Mother? Mother waited for two days, but you still hadn’t shown up, so I had to come and find you myself.”

Both Yanran and Xing thought Feng Wu would seek them out after finding out they were both at the academy.

Unexpectedly it didn’t happen, so at wit ’s end, Yanran had to find Feng Wu in person.

“Why would I go?” She didn’t need to ask them for help.
Didn’t Brother only say to go to Aunt Xing if she was in trouble? Feng Wu blinked, her eyes clearly puzzled.

Yanran didn’t expect Feng Wu to say that.
Embarrassment fleetingly crossed her face.
“We’re relatives.
Now that we’re not at home, we should watch out for each other and help one another.”

Luckily it wasn’t the first time Yanran met with the transmigrated Feng Wu, so she somewhat understood her cousin’s temperament.

Yanran’s opinion of Feng Wu had grown worse with the personality change.
She saw Feng Wu as a bad tempered, impulsive person.
She remembered how jealous Feng Wu got that year she visited.
Just because people were paying her attention, Feng Wu got mad and shoved her into the pond.
Yanran never got over it, and the grudge was still in her heart.

She had expected Feng Wu’s reaction to be just as big and atrocious this time around as well.
She never expected her cousin to become an entirely different person.
It was like nothing had ever happened between them.
Feng Wu didn’t lose her temper or even have any snide comments.
Was this the same Feng Wu? The change was too abrupt.
Yanran didn ’t believe it.

She had so many doubts, but no one else in the house seemed to care.
No one in Feng house thought it was strange.
They believed Feng Wu ’s sudden change was because of her recent traumatic events.
It never occurred to any of them that their Feng Wu was a different girl altogether.

Yanran didn ’t believe her cousin ’s change of heart was sincere.

“Big Brother said to go to Aunt Xing for help if there was a problem.” The implication was: I’ll go to her for help, but I’m fine right now, so there’s no reason to go visit.

Yanran’s mouth twitched.
She understood the meaning, but she didn’t know how to respond.
Feng Wu only needed to see her and her mother if there was a problem.

Yanran decided to switch topics.
“Xiao Wu, how is Xiao Ye?[notes]I haven’t seen him in a while.
I miss him.
Can I visit after school today?”

Feng Wu pursed her lips as she looked at Yanran.
“Xiao Ye doesn’t like you.
He cries every time he sees you.
You shouldn’t visit him.” This way Xiao Ye would be saved from over crying.

Yanran: Do you not know how to make conversation?!

Yanran didn’t talk long before leaving, because no matter how hard she tried to find a topic of conversation, Feng Wu would cut it short.
It was like they weren’t even speaking the same language.

Yanran’s visit raised all kinds of speculations, after all both were surnamed Feng.
Maybe they were related? But if Feng Wu was a member of Feng house, how come none of them had heard about it?

There was so much speculation.
Some thought Feng Wu was a distant branch relation, others thought the two weren’t related at all.
Maybe they just shared the same name.

Basically, Yanran’s visit reignited the gossip around Feng Wu.

Feng Wu was greeted warmly by her classmates when she returned from chatting with Yanran.
Ink acted as Feng Wu’s guard while a the other students asked a bunch of questions.
It took them awhile, but they finally pieced everything together.
Turned out the girls were cousins.

This new revelation really frightened her fellow classmates.
No one would have ever suspected Feng Wu was a direct descendent of Feng house.
Not only that.
She was the daughter of the patriarch! And Yanran was the cousin! Feng Wu was too low-key.
If Yanran hadn’t sought her out, no one would have ever associated Feng Wu with the incredibly famous Feng house.
