Chapter 197 – She Is Here.
After the exam, Xingren's expressions were dark and gloomy unlike before. She knew she messed up. The exam was harder than she had expected, she thought that she had prepared well enough but the questions were so unexpected and difficult than other years' questions.
She rubbed her temples while walking towards the cafeteria when her friend joined her.
" Xingren, how was your exam? This year's exam was so hard. I almost cried when I saw the questions." she made a crying face dramatically.
" I wonder who's gonna top this year's exam. It's such a mess."
Xingren nodded. The exam was indeed hard. If the paper was difficult for everyone then she might have done better than others, she was preparing for it for so long after all. Thinking about this, she started to feel a bit better.
" Did you see that girl who submitted her paper early? Isn't that the same girl from the competition the other day?"
Xingren nodded in response to her friends' question. The girl who left early was still bothering her, even though her face was covered but she looked somewhat familiar to her.
"Wasn't she an outsider? How can she sit for this exam? Moreover, how did she finish her exam so early? I was shocked when she left after submitting her paper."
Xingren glanced at her friend and was not even surprised at her series of questions. Truthfully, she was curious about the same, however, she chose to not think about it. That girl is not gonna pass anyway.
" I don't know how she was allowed to sit for the exam but you don't know if she did the exam or not. Maybe she left her answers blank and left early, many students do that when they don't know anything." Xingren shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the counter to order her coffee.
As she was ordering the coffee, her eyes fell on Aurora who was sitting with his friends. Seeing him she was reminded of the game in which he was defeated pretty badly.
She picked up her coffee and walked towards his table, " Senior, did you see that girl today?" she asks in a soft voice as she naturally takes the empty chair beside him.
Aurora was confused and looked at him in trouble, " Girl? Which girl are you talking about?"
" Ah, so you don't know about it? The girl who fought against you in the competition that day came to our college and took the scholarship exam. She was in our examination hall." she explained to him who was still confused.
" She gave the scholarship exam? But…she wasn't from our college, did she?" He asked in puzzlement. If she was from their college, then there is no way he doesn't know about this exceptional girl.
" Of course, she isn't. I wonder what underhanded measures she used to be able to take this test," she commented, making the other students raise brows at her assumption.
Aurora pursed his lips and said, " Let's not talk about this. There is no reason for us to talk about it if we don't know the truth. It's not appropriate." he said casually.

Moon River cafe.
Han Liang pursed his lips and stared at the aesthetic cafe in front of him which has a wooden name board on top with beautiful calligraphy on it.
He lowered his cap and covered his face properly with the mask when people passed by him. They were staring at him strangely since he was standing there like a mannequin for a while now. He was not sure if he was doing right or wrong but his feet unconsciously brought him here, despite his internal struggle.
It took a while for him to gather courage and move from his place.
He took a deep breath before pulling on the glass door and entered the cafe while looking towards the reception where a girl was standing in her uniform wearing a brown apron over it. He pursed his lips as the person he came to see was not there.
He was visiting this cafe almost every day since the day he caught the pervert and found out that it was the cafe owned by Luo Dan. Although he used to visit this cafe before as well, at that time he wasn't aware that it was the cafe owned by the girl he met in the elevator the other day.
However, upon knowing this, he started to find excuses to visit the cafe and enter the cafe every time he passes by from here. Call it his bad luck or what, he couldn't get to see her even for once. He always has to return unsuccessful with a saddened frown on his face.
He knows that his actions are creepy and cowardly but for some reason, he couldn't talk to her carefreely like he does to other girls. He is not a boring person like his brother but seeing her, his lips get sealed automatically and his heart starts to beat at the speed of a bullet train.
He sighed seeing his bad luck as she was not here again, ' How pathetic Han Liang. You lecture brother for his boring love life yet you're coming to a cafe just to see a girl with whom you haven't talked properly? You're a star for god's sake. Have some attitude dude!' he shook his head and walked to the counter to order his coffee since he has already come here.

After getting his order, he found an empty table in the corner and took a seat there with his coffee. He picked up his phone to check his manager's messages, ordering him to come back. He sneaked out from the company without his manager knowing, just to see Luo Dan but unfortunately she was not there.
" I should have taken her number that day." He murmured while thinking about how he missed the golden opportunity that day. He helped her and became the hero to save the damsel in distress yet he was suppressed by Xu Nuan and that strong girl, Jia Fei.
He was sure if he hadn't caught that man, Xu Nuan and that crazy friend of Luo Dan must have beat that man to a pulp. They are two scary girls!
Thinking about it, he shakes his head in fear and thinks about what would have happened to him if he had asked her number.' Her friend of hers was too scary for him to have the courage to ask her number in front of her. I better ask her that in-person.' He thought while responding to his manager's message.
" Is the coffee alright?" Han Liang was busy in his thoughts and was typing on his phone while sipping on his cold coffee with the straw when he heard a mellow-like, soft-polite voice that startled him.
He looked up and almost dropped his phone seeing Luo Dan standing in front of him while looking at him with a beautiful smile on her face.
'I must have gone crazy to have daydreams like this.' He blinked his eyes to unsee her but his eyes widened when she was still there despite him shaking his head and pinching himself.
So it's real? She is finally here.
