"Yo, what's happening to you, man? You've going straight home for two weeks straight."

Lu Fan had not settled down in class when Fatty Tang came over with a sandwich. This guy was always eating whenever he saw him.

"You are always eating, how are you going to lose weight? Or was it all just talk?"

"Don't try to change the subject. I always work out but you can't expect me to starve myself. So, what's happening?"

"Busy making money."

"What? Where? How? Tell me, tell me, tell me."

Lu Fan looked at Fatty Tang's attempt at a puppy face and could not help but feel disgusted.

"Get out of my face. Go to the side and read for the exams."

"What exams? I will go inherit my father's property and start collecting rent after graduation."

"Go, go. My family is poor so I have to study hard. Get out of here."

Lu Fan felt bitter and he no longer wanted to look at Fatty Tang's face.

He already knew that Fatty Tang was from a wealthy family but this was something else. His life was already set even before he finished high school.

He, like many others, had to go to schools and work their butts off so that they could come work for rich kids like Fatty Tang and An Xing'er. Well, An Xing'er at least put in the effort.

This mofo on the other hand got rich just by breathing. Even without the Bitcoin thing, Fatty Tang will become a wealthy second generation. His father would soon start working with big firms dealing with metals and his single action would affect the stock market.

And his mother owned many real estate companies and most of them did very well.

Just thinking about it made Lu Fan jealous.

Just as Lu Fan was thinking about this, a fragrance reached him and he immediately knew who it was.

"Good morning desk mate."

Yes, the first thing Lu Fan did was get his seating position switched and he now sat beside An Xing'er. It was not difficult.

He just went to look for Mr. Wang and it was pretty easy to get his position changed.

"G-good morning."

An Xing'er whispered before going straight to reading. It had been like this. She basically kept to herself and this was basically the extent of her words. Hell, she never responded for the first few days.

"Hey, Lu Fan, do you have a crush on An Xing'er?" Fatty Tang asked as he sized An Xing'er up and down.

Lu Fan stole a glance at her and seeing her red ears, he wished that he could give Fatty Tang a thumbs up, but that had to wait.

"What are you talking about? I only want Classmate An to help me revise. I told you to go to the side. Don't talk nonsense here."

Lu Fan did not want to tease An Xing'er too much. What would happen if she started avoiding him?

Besides, he knew his standing. He was not worthy of An Xing'er yet.

"What revision? You are always daydreaming during classes. Just tell the truth. No need to be shy."

Lu Fan could only get up and start chasing Fatty Tang around the class. A lively scene worthy of the carefree nature of high school.

"Alright, settle down for homeroom."

…

As usual, Lu Fan left as soon as school ended, but this time, he went to the train station to receive Li Lin.

His editor had insisted on coming personally for the signing of Lu Fan's first book, but the matter became more urgent when she saw his second book.

It could not be helped.

"Hello, you must be Lu Fan."

Lu Fan had not waited long when a silky and charming voice sounded behind him. Turning around, he saw a 5'6" beauty with brown hair and matching eyes.

Her casual dress hugged her curves perfectly making her look otherworldly. But Lu Fan somehow felt like this lady was trouble.

"You must be Li Lin. You look more beautiful in person than in the pic you sent me."

"Oh, a gentleman I see. Nice to meet you."

"Right, we should get going."

Lu Fan naturally took the suitcase she was carrying and made his way out of the station. She would follow if she wanted.

"Why do you have so much stuff, it's as if you are moving here."

"I am."

"Sorry?"

"I can't always wait for you to submit your work, so I came to the source. Do you know how frustrating it is to have to wait for subsequent chapters? So I came here to read them as soon as you write them."

"Right. And how are you going to do that?"

"I will just move in with you."

"…"

Lu Fan looked at the bubbly lady beside him and could only remain silent. Well, whatever.

"Won't the company cause you trouble?"

"No. I quit before coming here."

"…"

"Then what are you doing here? I wanted to meet my editor, not some psychotic rando."

"I am not a rando. We already talked and I was your editor, not that you needed one."

"That's what you picked up? Where are we going?"

"I bought a house a block away from your place."

"WTF. And that's a whole apartment building."

"Same thing. Are you scared now that this big sister will eat you and not even leave bones?"

Lu Fan looked at Li Lin's playful smirk and felt a headache coming on.

"No. I am worried that I will end up eating you up if you keep playing around."

Hearing his reply, Li Lin stopped in her tracks before breaking into a laughing feat. It was the first time she had met someone like this.

Her tendencies scare the shit out of most people and even those that weren't kept their guard around her.

It was the first time someone just shrugged her off and Lu Fan even managed to get a joke in.

But was he joking?
