Upon hearing this, Huo Xian visibly brightened up. Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng's mood cooled again; Lin Ruan Ruan was too good at sweet talk, no wonder she was his formidable rival.
Zheng Zhaodi glanced at Huo Xian and, seeing his aloof and noble appearance, clenched her fingers.
"Ruanruan, now that you've made friends with someone as powerful and influential as Huo Xian, have you forgotten about us ordinary folks?"
She wiped her eyes as she spoke, putting on a pitiful act. When she saw someone looking over, she put on an even more dramatic performance.
Huo Xian raised an eyebrow at the familiar scene, wondering how it resembled Huo Momo so much.

Lin Ruanruan looked at Huo Xian with starry eyes. As expected of Huo's sister, she was just as eloquent and articulate.
Zheng Zhaodi knew she wouldn't get anywhere here today, so she glared at Lin Ruanruan before leaving.
Lin Ruanruan was bewildered by the glare. It wasn't glaring at Xuan Yuan Haocheng, who had rejected her, nor at Huo Xian, who had mocked her; it was only glaring at her, Lin Ruanruan. What, picking on the weak?
Hmph, I'm angry.
The school bell rang, and Lin Ruanruan opened her book according to the class schedule. Fang Lan was kicking himself for not going to the toilet yet!
