When Chen Haoxuan returned to Class Eight of the Business Administration department, he found Yang Lin and the others there, including Hua Lingwei and Zhang Beining, all sitting in the last row of the classroom.
Chen Haoxuan took Chen Yina's small hand and walked over, smiling as he said to Yang Lin and the others, "What brings all you big shots to our class?"
"Xuan, I heard you and Nana are together now. Is that true?" Yang Lin asked curiously. He had always known that Chen Haoxuan regarded Chen Yina as a sister, so he often came to Class Eight to play with her. He thought he had a chance, but unexpectedly, after Chen Haoxuan took Chen Yina home for two days, they returned as a couple. He felt it was absurd, even faster than a flash marriage.
"Yes, it's true," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
Chen Yina gently leaned her head on Chen Haoxuan's shoulder in agreement. She was happy that he could openly acknowledge their relationship in front of their friends.
"Weren't you always treating Nana like a sister? How did you go from that to being a couple so quickly?" Yang Lin asked again.
"We went home to explain our relationship to my parents. They agreed, so now we can be together openly!" Chen Yina said happily.
"When did you two start dating?" Ma Yichen couldn't help but ask.
"I have liked Brother Xuan since I was little; he just never noticed. I thought I wasn't pretty enough before, so I didn't dare tell him. It wasn't until I became more confident that I finally expressed my feelings to Brother Xuan," Chen Yina said sweetly.
Yang Lin sighed inwardly: "The person I love is taken, and the one who loves me is not worth mentioning. What a tragedy!"
"Haoxuan, I'm envious of you! My family is better than yours, and I'm not any less than you. Why am I not as happy as you? Zhang Beining and I are childhood sweethearts who grew up together; why is there such a big gap?" Ma Yichen joked.
Hearing Ma Yichen's words, Zhang Beining pinched her ear and playfully scolded, "What did you say? Say it again if you can! Hmph! Just look at yourself; how can you compare to Haoxuan? He built himself up from nothing—good-looking and gentle. And you! Your achievements come from your family, and you're so clueless that only a silly girl like me would choose you."
"Wife, listen to me, I was just joking, it's not serious. Can you let go? So many people are watching! I would be so embarrassed." Ma Yichen pleaded desperately, and just by looking at him, one could tell he would definitely be someone who fears his wife in the future.
"What face do you have left? If it weren't for Haoxuan helping you, could you have pursued me? Hmph. If I had known Haoxuan was such a romantic person, I would have pursued him instead of you." Zhang Beining joked.
Hearing Zhang Beining's words, Ma Yichen became anxious. He had finally managed to win her over, and if he lost her just like that, he would be very sad. "Wife, I asked Haoxuan for help because I care about you so much. Please forgive me!" Ma Yichen said with a sad face to Zhang Beining. After that, he turned to Chen Haoxuan and said, "Haoxuan, we're buddies, right? If we are buddies, don't compete with me for Zhang Beining."
Chen Haoxuan was sitting in the back with Chen Yina. He turned around and looked at Ma Yichen with disdain. "I look down on you. No wonder Zhang Beining says you're so dull; you can't even tell when she's joking. If I were Zhang Beining, I would also choose to stray."
"Oh, so it was a joke! You scared me. Zhang Beining, please don't do that again; my heart can't take such shocks." Ma Yichen said while covering his chest jokingly.
Chen Haoxuan and Chen Yina both brought small laptops because they needed to manage Chen Haoxuan's newly launched website. When Chen Yina opened her laptop, the desktop wallpaper caught the attention of Zhang Beining sitting next to her. Pointing at Chen Yina's computer, Zhang Beining exclaimed in surprise, "Nana, who is this girl? She's so beautiful!"
"Wow—what a beautiful girl! Nana, is she some big star?" Ma Yichen said with stars in his eyes, excitedly. He felt that just looking at this picture was a wonderful experience. If he knew that the person in the photo was actually Chen Haoxuan, he wouldn't know what to think.
Chen Yina covered her mouth and giggled; she knew others wouldn't recognize Chen Haoxuan in disguise. "Guess who this is?" she said with a smile.
"Nana, could it be your sister or your younger sister? Can you introduce her to me?" Yang Lin asked excitedly. Since Chen Yina was already taken, Yang Lin straightforwardly shifted his target.
Chen Yina continued to giggle and said, "He won't agree to that because he's very special."
Chen Haoxuan pretended not to hear anything and lowered his head to look at his computer. He didn't want Yang Lin and the others to see his face; if they did, they might connect it to his cross-dressing photos.
"If you don't introduce her to me, how do you know she doesn't like me? Nana, please pity me! I'm already over twenty and I've never even held a girl's hand! I'm so pitiful." Yang Lin said with a pitiful expression to Chen Yina. If those ladies from the entertainment venues heard Yang Lin say such things, they would surely point at him and scold him: "How many times have you been with us?"
"Nana, when did you have such a beautiful sister?" Zhang Beining curiously asked Chen Yina.
"She's not my sister!" Chen Yina replied with an awkward smile.
"Then who is she? Is she Haoxuan's sister or something?" Zhang Beining asked again.
"Xuan's sister? Oh yeah! Look, the girl in the photo looks a lot like Xuan!" Yang Lin discovered some clues.
"Right! No wonder she looks so familiar to me! She must be a relative of Haoxuan," Ma Yichen said, stroking his chin with a profound expression.
Since they had already brought up Chen Haoxuan, he could no longer play dumb. He turned to Ma Yichen and the others and said, "Just because she looks similar doesn't mean she's my sister! There are over six billion people in this world; there are bound to be a few who look alike!"
"Then who is she? Why does Nana have her photo?" Yang Lin was still unconvinced, his instincts telling him that Chen Haoxuan and the others must know the girl on Chen Yina's computer desktop.
"I don't know; you should ask Nana!" Chen Haoxuan said with a stern face.
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's tone, Chen Yina dared not continue joking. Chen Haoxuan was a boy, and boys care about their pride. If she embarrassed him, he would hold a grudge against her. So, Chen Yina explained, "I found this photo on a website from H Country, but I forgot the address."
