Xiao Ying said angrily, “Cheng Yang, you promised me that you would respect my privacy. How can you go back on your word?”

The two of them had quarreled over this previously. Bringing this up again, Xiao Ying only felt that Cheng Yang was simply treating her as a pet. Seeing that he didn’t even bother to explain, she turned and left the house.

Cheng Yang sat on the couch, trying to contain his anger. He looked at the closed door and followed after her.

He found Xiao Ying halfway along the road and slowly followed behind her, releasing a breath only when he saw her safely enter the school.

Standing outside the school gate, Cheng Yang felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

Recently, he felt that he seemed to be having some problems, especially regarding his feelings towards Xiao Ying. It would be good to temporarily avoid her for a while.

Xiao Ying stayed in school for a few days. She had never stayed on campus before, so she naturally did not have a dorm room. The room she was staying in was an empty teacher’s dorm.

She had already found a new apartment. Right now, she didn’t want to stay anywhere that had anything to do with Cheng Yang.

Today, Shen Meijia came to help her move. The two of them came to the new apartment, both dragging a large suitcase in their hands. Just as they entered the complex, they bumped into Zhou Yao.

Xiao Ying said in surprise, “Zhou Yao, why are you here?”

Zhou Yao said calmly, “I live here.”

After the two of them exchanged addresses, she realized that they were actually neighbors.

She could not believe that this was a coincidence. There was only one person who knew that she had moved here.

Turning her head to look at Shen Meijia’s guilty smile, Xiao Ying immediately knew what was going on.

Zhou Yao took the suitcases from their hands, intending on helping. Before Xiao Ying could reject him, he had already started walking forward.

Shen Meijia leaned over to Xiao Ying’s ear and said, “Such a fine specimen. If you weren’t my best friend, I would go after him myself.”

Xiao Ying flicked her forehead in exasperation and warned, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Shen Meijia stuck out her tongue and said no more.

The place had been cleaned by someone in advance, so after getting the luggage inside, she could directly move in.

To express her gratitude, Xiao Ying wanted to treat the two of them to a meal.

They went to the restaurant downstairs. Shen Meijia asked curiously, “Zhou Yao, if you live in a place like this, you probably aren’t lacking money. Why would you go work in a bar?”

Xiao Ying also looked over curiously as well.

Zhou Yao looked at Xiao Ying and suddenly became a little nervous. “I’m used to it.”

He spoke stiffly and looked at the girls, who still looked confused. He continued, “Previously, I had always been working part-time while going to school. Later on, I earned a little money doing work online, but I never used it. I’m used to working part-time.”

That was really… they didn’t expect someone to be so used to living a poor life that they didn’t even use any money when they got rich.

Shen Meijia looked at him with bright eyes and said, “As expected of school hunk Zhou, even your way of thinking is special.”

Zhou Yao glanced at her and then turned back to look at Xiao Ying.

Shen Meijia smiled at the two of them knowingly and found an excuse to leave before she even finished her meal.

Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao did not stay alone as Shen Meijia had intended. Because Xiao Ying felt it was awkward, she went home right after she finished eating.

At night, Xiao Ying went downstairs to buy something and happened to see Zhou Yao sitting alone on the garden bench, looking a little lonely.

She walked over and asked, “Why are you here so late at night?”

Zhou Yao looked at Xiao Ying and smiled.

This smile stunned her. So Zhou Yao had a pair of dimples when he smiled.

She could tell that something was wrong with him. Normally, he would never smile like that.

The amulet suddenly spoke, “Destined energy source found. Beginning to absorb energy.”

She looked at Zhou Yao in shock. So he was the new destined energy source.

Zhou Yao was holding a bottle of beer in his hand. It seemed like he was drunk. Xiao Ying was even more worried about leaving him alone.. “I’ll walk you home.”
