The director knew that Cheng Xiaoyou and Huo Yan's family was not good, sometimes they would let them help with some small tasks, give a little extra money. They also helped the martial arts hall to advertise, later on, the director said that he would let them study for free, as long as they studied well, helped to promote it well, and there was still money to be earned.

  So for that little bit of money that might seem insignificant to others, she and Huo Yan trained more seriously than anyone else, especially not wanting to be bullied by anyone again.

  Huoyan once said that they are children without umbrellas and can only run faster than other children. Moreover, they must have their own shoulders.

  Martial arts champion, it's just that as long as you win the competition, there will be money to take. The national grand prize, in the end, is also for that prize money.

  At that time, they were fearless, and everything in front of them was so beautiful. It seemed that as long as they worked hard, they could reach out and touch heaven.

  But in the end, it was discovered that before the rules of this world, everything was just a joke.

  "What are you thinking?" Gong Chen looked at Cheng Xiao You's slightly moist eyes, and suddenly felt as if she was very, very far away from him.

  Cheng Xiaoyou, this girl is like a contradictory entity. Always appearing to be bullied, yet she's actually a hidden mastermind. So determined to defeat Magic, yet refused the opportunity to stay in Class A.

  But she, with her own little stubbornness, somehow made him unable to help but want to investigate further.

  "It's nothing, I just think we need to work harder!" Cheng Xiaoyou sniffled and looked up at the distant sky.

  Huoyan gave up those ridiculous dreams that he had been obsessed with because of that matter.

  But she didn't, since this world is full of malice, she would let those who are waiting to see her make a fool of herself take a look, Cheng Xiaoyou can also stand up with her own strength, without relying on anyone else's light.

  Gong Chen didn't speak, gazing at the girl who was looking up at the starry sky. Under the vast starlight, those stubborn and unyielding eyes seemed to shine even brighter than the stars themselves, giving people a feeling that it was as if she had said that her goals would definitely be achieved and become reality.

  "Cheng Xiaoyou, you should be a diligent person, right?" Gong Chen looked at the girl leaning back in her chair and gazing up at the sky, suddenly speaking out.

  "What does that mean?" Cheng Xiao You looked at Gong Chen's eyes, which seemed to be saying something unspoken, and felt that there was something strange about it, as if what he was going to say next would not be good.

  "Just say it, are you diligent or not when working!" Gong Chen's tone became impatient, as if he felt that his previous question was too weak.

  "That must be professional, isn't it?" Cheng Xiaoyou nodded honestly and said, feeling that his question was really strange.

  "That's good, that's settled then. Tonight's events will never happen again!" Gong Chen got a satisfactory answer and leaned back in his chair, starting to appreciate the starry night sky.

  "What thing?" Cheng Xiaoyou felt that he didn't understand what Gong Chen was saying at all, what thing did he say must not happen again?

  "It's those nauseating words you said tonight, Cheng Xiaoyou. You should know that you're currently employed by me. If you ever say anything about liking someone else in front of me again, you're dead!" Gong Chen said with a vicious glare, not looking like he was joking at all.

  "Does this have nothing to do with you hiring me?" Cheng Xiaoyou felt a bit puzzled, was Gong Chen having a fever tonight? Why did he keep saying nonsense! Who she liked was her own business, what did it have to do with him, Young Master Gong Chen.

  "It doesn't matter, during the time you're employed by me, Cheng Xiaoyou, your eyes can only look at me!" Gong Chen said to her in a very overbearing manner.

  "This is simply a tyrannical clause!" Cheng Xiaoyou was so angry that she could only stare at Gong Chen.

  "No way, that's the rule. During your employment with me, you are not allowed to talk about likes or dislikes with others! As for dating, don't even think about it!" Gong Chen looked into Cheng Xiao You's eyes and said very seriously. Before he had sorted out his own thoughts, Cheng Xiao You absolutely could not be taken away by Ling Ye Xi!

  "Suit yourself, anyway I never thought of falling in love!" Cheng Xiao You was still a bit angry, but was suddenly deflated by Gong Chen's mention of the three words "falling in love". What qualifications did someone like her have to fall in love, especially with Ling Ye Xi.

  "Haven't you thought about it?" Gong Chen's mood suddenly improved, and he looked at Cheng Xiaoyou with curiosity, asking: "Didn't you say you liked Ling Ye Xi?"

  "Does liking this kind of thing and dating have nothing to do with each other?" Cheng Xiao You glared at him impatiently, does liking mean that two people can be together and date?

  "What's wrong?! You said you like Ling Ye Xi, it can't be just a casual remark, right?" Gong Chen looked at Cheng Xiao You beside him, feeling that the night sky background seemed to brighten up even more: "Cheng Xiao You, what type of guy do you like, someone like Ye Xi?"

  "Someone like Ling Ye Xi, isn't it normal to have a crush on him?" Cheng Xiao You's voice became distant as she recalled their first meeting: "A boy who looks so good, who wouldn't like him?"

  It's like her and Huo Yan, people who have been through the darkest of times. So, seeing someone as good-looking as that, how could they not be liked?

  Ling Ye Xi and she were fundamentally people from two different worlds.

  Those eyes, like the purest crystal, are so clear that every time I look at them, I feel as if even myself has become cleaner.

  Besides, he was so good to her.

  A boy like him is born to be liked by everyone.

  "How can I not be good?! " Gong Chen heard Cheng Xiao You's words and suddenly became angry, why did she have to say these unpleasant things?

  Cheng Xiaoyou looked at Gong Chen, who was visibly huffing and puffing in front of her. If she hadn't had good self-control, the corners of her mouth would have been able to curl all the way up to the sky.

  Is this guy kidding me? He's always looking like the god of death has arrived and yet he has the nerve to ask others if they're not good-looking?

  "What's with that expression, Cheng Xiaoyou? Am I not good-looking enough?! Palace Chen looked at Cheng Xiaoyou's disapproving face, and the fire in her chest grew bigger."

  What's with her gaze, doesn't she think Ling Ye Xi is handsome enough? Why does she look at Ling Ye Xi with such a gentle expression, but when she looks at him, it's as if she's seen a ghost.

  "Cough, cough, Gong Chen, you're doing great, you look great!" Cheng Xiao You didn't know what was wrong with him again, but she knew that if she didn't calm down this time bomb now, she would probably end up dead!
