Seeing how tender Qin Yuhao was towards Song Yan Ning, all the girls’ eyes turned red with envy.
"Who does she think she is?" one girl sneered. "Qin Yuhao speaks to her and she still acts so aloof."
"All she has is a pretty face," another sniffed disdainfully. "She really thinks she descended from heaven."
"Song Yan Ning is just shameless," one more chimed in. "It was bad enough when she was flirting with Cheng Feng, and now she’s trying to seduce Qin Yuhao."
"I’ve seen a guy picking up Song Yan Ning from school every day," another girl mentioned. "I wonder what her relationship with that guy is."
Ignoring Qin Yuhao, Song Yan Ning continued to eat her meal.
Qin Yuhao turned to a girl sitting next to him who was also eating her meal, smiled lightly, and asked, "Classmate, are you finished eating?"
"Eaten... I’ve finished," the girl stuttered, trembling with excitement since she hadn’t expected Qin Yuhao to speak to her.
"Then may I sit here?" Qin Yuhao asked with a smile, gesturing to her seat.
"Of course, of course!" The girl quickly stood up to let Qin Yushen sit, and seeing the leftovers on her tray, she blushed, hastily cleaned up, and took her tray to the side. "Please sit."
"Thank you!" Qin Yuhao took a pen out of his pocket. "Would you like an autograph?"
"Really? Thank you!" The girl was beside herself with excitement, setting her tray on a nearby table and searching for a piece of paper to sign on. After a long search, she realized all she had was a napkin.
"Maybe you could sign on my hand?" She pulled up her sleeve and extended her arm towards Qin Yuhao.
Qin Yuhao quickly and skilfully signed his name on the girl’s arm. "Done."
"Thank you, Qin Yuhao. You’ll always be the male god of my heart," the girl said, looking at the autograph on her arm, her eyes brimming with tears of joy.
"Thank you for your support!" Qin Yuhao flashed his signature rogue smile.
Song Yan Ning put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and got up to leave with her tray.
"Xiao Ning," Qin Yuhao called out to Song Yan Ning.
"I’m not familiar with you, please call me Song Yan Ning," Song Yan Ning said without looking back, heading to the place where the trays were returned.
Mo Xier looked between Song Yan Ning and Qin Yuhao, torn between her friend and the idol she had admired for so long. She truly didn’t know whether to follow Song Yan Ning or to stay and talk with her idol up close.
As Qin Yuhao watched Song Yan Ning’s departing figure, he shook his head with a smile, stood up, and turned to Liu Zhe, "Let’s go!" Now that Song Yan Ning was gone, he naturally wouldn’t stay behind to be a spectacle for the crowd.
When Mo Xier returned to the classroom, she saw Song Yan Ning resting with her head on the desk. After a moment’s thought, she approached her.
Song Yan Ning lifted her head and looked at Mo Xier. "Do you have something to say?"
Mo Xier nodded, leaning in and whispered, "Song Yan Ning, do you know Qin Yuhao?"
"He’s my fiancé’s older cousin," Song Yan Ning revealed. There was no need to hide such a thing.
"So that’s how it is," Mo Xier realized. "Then it would be easy for you to get his autograph, right?" She had wanted to ask Qin Yuhao for one, but the words just wouldn’t come out.
"I’m not close with him," Song Yan Ning said truthfully. Although Qin Yuhao was Qin Yushen’s cousin, they didn’t really interact.
"Oh," Mo Xier sounded somewhat disappointed.
At that moment, a girl burst into the classroom, quickly approached Song Yan Ning, and slapped a piece of paper with a challenge letter on her desk. "This is our challenge to you. The time and place are written here; I hope you’ll be on time to the appointment."
