Chapter 13

Days after the school play, Han Bing became more busy.

Bathroom break has also become one of her favorite times of the day. After the school play, Han Bing suddenly became popular. Girls from other classes would try to find her. Han Bing didn't realize that her character as the prince got her to become one of the top five most wanted partners. Currently, bathroom break became her only peace as she stayed away from the chattering girls.

"Shi Ran, I need to tell you something." Bai Rong Rong pulled Qin Shi Ran to the hallway.

"You haven't talked to me for a while. What happened?" Bai Rong Rong had tears in her eyes.

Qin Shi Ran felt guilty leaving her alone these days. "Sorry. I've been really busy with tutoring recently. I didn't mean to forget about you." Qin Shi Ran always likes being near this good natured girl. Ever since he saw Bai Rong Rong, his attention has been taken away by this rabbit-like girl.

Bai Rong Rong suddenly became excited. She shyly looked down. "Shi Ran, I really like you. Can you be my boyfriend?"

Qin Shi Ran was stunned. Bai Rong Rong confessed to him. He has always liked Bai Rong Rong, and now, he finally can be together with her. What is he hesitating for? "Rong Rong, I also…"

Bai Rong Rong looked at him eagerly.

Tzuuyaaa. The door of the girl's bathroom opened. Han Bing came out and saw Bai Rong Rong and Qin Shi Ran standing in the hallway. She nodded at them and left.

Han Bing doesn't realize that her actions already caused Qin Shi Ran to have an entirely different future, and whether she's able to get rid of him or not is up to Qin Shi Ran to decide.

Qin Shi Ran stared at Han Bing's back. "Rong Rong, I'm sorry. I only see you as a friend."

He unhesitantly left her to catch up to Han Bing. "Han Bing! Wait for me!"

Bai Rong Rong was shocked by his words. Didn't he love me? Bai Rong Rong suddenly looked at Han Bing. Hate filled her eyes. She has been planning accidental meetings to get Qin Shi Ran to notice her. Now, he finally fell in love with her so where did everything go wrong. It's all because of that evil fox. Han Bing must have seduced him while using tutoring as an excuse. She must get rid of Han Bing and let Qin Shi Ran see Han Bing's true colors.

"Han Bing, did you hear anything in the bathroom?" Qin Shi Ran worriedly asked.

"No. Why?" What is there to hear in the bathroom?

"Nothing." Qin Shi Ran breathed out a sigh of relief. Good thing she didn't hear about Bai Rong Rong confessing to him. Qin Shi Ran's ear turned red. It's not like he likes Han Bing or anything. He just doesn't want her to misunderstand and tell everyone about it. Qin Shi Ran completely forgot that he almost agreed to become Bai Rong Rong's boyfriend.

A male student, who was listening behind the wall, heard the rejection. "Qin Shi Ran, how dare you make Bai Rong Rong cry. I will make sure you regret it."

If the male student were to see the face that Bai Rong Rong was currently making, he would surely have dropped the thought.

…

"Qin Shi Ran, go to the principal's office." The homeroom teacher told him.

Qin Shi Ran was confused. He hasn't cut class or missed his homework lately. For what reason would he need to go to the principal's room? The teacher's glare also tells him that this is not good news.

Qin Shi Ran knocked onto the principal's door. "Come in." A sound came from the inside.

"Have a seat, Shi Ran." the principal gestured to the chair in front of him.

"How's class?" the principal began.

"Principal, just tell me what's the matter?" Qin Shi Ran directly said.

The principal also did not want to twist around the words anymore. "Someone reported in saying that they saw you cheating in the midterm."

Qin Shi Ran angrily stood up from the chair. "I didn't cheat."

The principal also doesn't want to take care of this matter, but cheating is a serious crime. It can affect their school reputation and drop their student application rate. He can not let this go even if the Qin family forces him to.

"Calm down. We don't know if you cheated or not, but your sudden jump in score on your midterm does seem pretty suspicious. We just want to investigate thoroughly. For now, please cooperate with us."

"No, I won't! I did not cheat, and I do not need to prove to you guys." Qin Shi Ran left in anger. He didn't go back to class but directly home.

The nanny was surprised when Qin Shi Ran came back home early. It has been a while since the young master cut class. After lady Han Bing started tutoring him, Qin Shi Ran rarely cut classes.

Qin Shi Ran went into his room and locked the door. The nanny knocked. "Young master, is something wrong?"

Qin Shi Ran didn't reply. The nanny went to give a call to the master and madam.

He tried so hard already so why doesn't anyone believe him? Qin Shi Ran looked at the necklace he got from Han Bing. Will she believe me?
