It was just past twelve when Shen Xingting returned home with his cake and lunch. He heard the sound of running water in the kitchen. He put the cake and lunch on the table and walked into the kitchen to see Cen Jing standing by the sink, washing some vegetables.

He walked over quietly and hugged him from behind.

"Why did you get up?"

"I'm hungry." Cen Jing still felt a little uncomfortable. He leaned back and let himself lean on Shen Xingting's arms. "It's only twelve o'clock. Is the party over?"

"It's boring. I want to come back to accompany you." Shen Xingting kissed Cen Jing's neck and said, "No need to cook. I bought lunch and came back."

Cen Jing turned around, hooked his neck and asked, "Where is my cake?"

"How dare I neglect what my wife asked me to do." Shen Xingting leaned over and kissed him on the lips, and said with a smile, "I bought two flavors, both of which you like."

Cen Jing's eyes lit up, and he tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek, then wrapped his arms around his neck, and put his head on the other's chest without moving.

"My waist hurts, carry me over."

"Okay." Seeing him acting coquettishly with her, Shen Xingting curled his eyes and smiled.

He turned off the faucet and carried him to the living room.

Cen Jing's heart disease had been cured, but he still needed medicine to help him recover. After dinner, Shen Xingting coaxed him to take the medicine, then carried him back to the bedroom and accompanied him for a nap. After waking up, the two did not get up, but lay on the bed, hugging each other and chatting.

"Shen Xingting, you have a beard." Cen Jing said, touching the stubble on Shen Xingting's chin.

Shen Xingting said "hmm", then lowered his head and kissed him between the eyebrows.

"I'm twenty years old, isn't it normal to grow a beard?"

Hearing this, Cen Jing narrowed his eyes: "I'm nineteen."

"That's perfect, call me brother." Shen Xingting pinched his chin and raised his eyebrows.

Cen Jing blinked: "You can only choose one between brother and husband, you choose brother?"

Shen Xingting of course chose husband: "I take back what I said before, I choose husband!"

Cen Jing smiled, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, then hugged his neck and whispered: "Husband."

Shen Xingting's heart was pounding and his ears were a little red. He said "hmm" and pretended to be calm and hugged him into his arms.

Cen Jing, with his head buried in Shen Xingting's arms, did not notice the other's red earlobes and cheeks.

...

The next day was the day for school reporting. Shen Xingting had no classes in the morning, but he got up early to accompany Cen Jing.

He rode his bicycle to take Cen Jing to school. When Cen Jing was in class, he sat on a bench outside the classroom, holding his mobile phone and reading a medical book. It was time for dinner. He took Cen Jing's hand and went to the cafeteria to eat together under the gazes of everyone.

Dong Xinyu thought Shen Xingting was deliberately embarrassing her yesterday, but today she saw him going in and out of school with a boy, and personally sent him to the classroom, bought him food and gave him water in the cafeteria, and took care of him like his own son.

She stared at the backs of the two people leaning against each other and bit her lip.

"Where did this guy named Cen Jing come from? I've never heard Shen Xingting talk about him before." Sun Mei, who always wanted to flatter Dong Xinyu, gave her advice, "Xinyu, you can't just let this go. Your mother has been urging you to marry into the Wang family. If she knew that you and Shen Xingting were not boyfriend and girlfriend, she would definitely force you to get married!"

Dong Xinyu's family is in business. Recently, her father was forced to retire, and her mother's business suffered a big blow. Many companies that had cooperated with her in the past wanted to take the opportunity to annex "Xinyue". Only the Wang family, who had received favors from her father in the past, did not add insult to injury, and even took the initiative to propose a marriage.

But Dong Xinyu didn't like Wang Sen. She didn't have any feelings for Wang Sen at all. Such a marriage would not be happy.

Moreover, Wang Sen looks too ordinary. Although Shen Xingting's family conditions are average, he is good-looking and smart. As long as Shen Xingting is given a platform, she believes that Shen Xingting will surprise everyone.

Thinking of this, Dong Xinyu looked at the boy's smiling profile and frowned.

Shen Xingting had classes in the afternoon and had to go back to the campus, so he found Li Jue and asked him to accompany Cen Jing to walk around the school and get familiar with the campus.

Li Jue always thought that Cen Jing was a girl, and when he saw him appear in front of him as a boy, he almost dropped his jaw.

"Fuck, Cen Jing, you are a man!" He looked at Cen Jing, who had a refreshing and clean short hair, a white T-shirt and jeans, and said in shock.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't in good health before. My family was afraid that something might happen to me, so they raised me as a girl." Cen Jing smiled at him, his tone was gentle, but you could tell at once that it was a boy's voice.

Li Jue's eyes widened: "Damn, your voice has changed too!" "

Don't be surprised." Shen Xingting slapped him on the back of his head, "Xiao Jing's voice change period is late."

"It's late, why did you hit me?" Li Jue touched the back of his head and muttered.

"It's getting late, you should go back to class." Cen Jing said to Shen Xingting.

"Okay." Shen Xingting hugged him, rubbed his chin on his head, and reluctantly said, "Then I'm leaving, let Li Jue accompany you for a while."

"Okay."

"Tsk, so annoying." After Shen Xingting left, Li Jue tsk-tsk twice, "A few days ago, he said that my voice was too artificial when talking to girls, and he didn't listen to himself, double standards."

After scolding, he saw that his friend was looking at him with his eyes bent and smiling, and his back suddenly felt cold.

"Hehe, what, I'm not scolding him, I'm saying that you two have a really good relationship. You were just in school for a while, and now you are finally together. I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart!" He said incoherently.

Hearing him talk about the past, Cen Jing's delicate eyebrows wrinkled into a ball.

"Li Jue, can you please tell me what happened after I left? Shen Xingting refused to tell me."

Hearing this, Li Jue's expression became serious.

"Yes, but I don't know much. I only know that on the day you didn't come to school, he learned from the class teacher that you were going abroad. Later, he didn't attend classes and went to your house to find you, but he was late and your family had moved away."

"I saw Xingting again a week later. After he returned to school, he talked less and became very depressed. He only knew how to study all day. After class and during lunch break, he would read some medical books that no one could understand. I heard from Guo Xiaojun who shared the same dormitory with him that sometimes when he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, he could see him reading with a light on."

"Later I found out that he wanted to go to medical school, but with his grades, it was a waste of talent for him to go to the Medical College of S University. The teacher also persuaded him to go to Y University, but he refused and was determined to go to S University."

Li Jue tilted his head and looked at him: "I know that it was your original agreement to go to S University together, and studying medicine is his lifelong commitment to you."

"Cen Jing, as a friend of Shen Xingting, I am very grateful that you can come back."

Seeing that he hung his head and said nothing, Li Jue thought he was crying, and immediately panicked: "Don't cry, if Shen Xingting knows, he will think I bullied you!"

"I didn't cry." Cen Jing raised his head and said.

Li Jue was relieved to see that his eyes were just a little red and he didn't shed tears.

The phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a message from the counselor, asking the class leaders to go to the teaching office for a meeting.

"Damn, why are we having a meeting now?"

"If you have something to do, go ahead. I can do it myself." Cen Jing said.

Li Jue: "Let me take you home first."

Cen Jing asked: "Is there enough time?"

Li Jue looked at the time. The counselor asked to arrive within 20 minutes. He would take Cen Jing back and then go to the office building. It would take at least 25 minutes to go back and forth. Their counselor is a busybody. If you are late by one minute, he will make things difficult for you. If you are late by five minutes, he might explode.

"Are you really okay by yourself?" He said with some concern.

Cen Jing smiled and nodded: "Well, you forgot, I'm not a girl, I'm a boy like you."

Li Jue: "... Sorry, I didn't react, then I'll go first, you should go home quickly, don't let Xingting worry."

"Okay."

Li Jue ran towards the office building while calling Shen Xingting, but it showed that the other party was busy and could not be connected at the moment, so he changed to sending WeChat.

Here, Cen Jing sat alone on the bench for ten minutes. When he was about to go back, Dong Xinyu suddenly appeared and stopped him.

Cen Jing thought that the other party came here to hide like himself, so he carried his schoolbag and bypassed Dong Xinyu to leave, but was pulled back by the latter by the schoolbag strap.

He frowned, turned his head and looked at the other party with an unhappy expression.

"Let go."

Dong Xinyu was furious when she saw him talking to her like that.

"Are you Cen Jing?" She stared at Cen Jing and said with disdain.

Cen Jing glanced at her and was about to leave, but he was determined not to let him leave. He ran to him and held him with his arms outstretched.

"What's your relationship with Shen Xingting?" She said in a bad tone.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Cen Jing said indifferently.

"I am Shen Xingting's girlfriend. Do you think it has anything to do with you? A freshman, you seduced my boyfriend on the first day of school. You are really capable!" Dong Xinyu gritted her teeth and said, "I advise you to leave Shen Xingting as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be something you cannot afford!"

Hearing this, Cen Jing finally looked at her straight in the eye: "Really? Then what kind of consequences will I have to bear? Will I be unable to stay in S University?"

Dong Xinyu choked. She really wanted to say this, but she didn't expect the other party to beat her to it.

"You said Shen Xingting is your boyfriend, but did you know that he has a crush on someone he has loved for five or six years?" Cen Jing smiled at her, "Sorry, that's me."

"Please move aside, I have to go back to make dinner for my boyfriend."

Dong Xinyu was almost mad to death, staring at Cen Jing's back and threatening: "My mother donated 10 million to the school. Even if I can't make you drop out, I can make sure you can't graduate!"

Cen Jing ignored her and took out his headphones to listen to songs.

After the afternoon class, Shen Xingting came back and heard Cen Jing talk about this. He immediately called the principal and donated 20 million to the school in the name of the two of them.

The next day, the principal announced this matter in public, and everyone was stunned after hearing it.

"Is Chairman Shen so rich? He has always been very low-key. I thought he was from an ordinary family like us!"

"Damn, 20 million, just donate it! The last person who was so rich and generous was Dong Xinyu's mother, who donated 10 million to the school."

"Yes, 5 million of it was used as scholarships, and Dong Xinyu took 500,000 alone, but based on her grades, she can only get 100,000."

"Hmph, that's Goddess Dong, if you say that and her brainless fans hear you, you will be beaten!"

While everyone was whispering, Shen Xingting was strolling around the campus with Cen Jing.

"This is a maple forest, it will turn into a fiery red in autumn, it is particularly beautiful." Shen Xingting said.

Cen Jing tilted her head to look at him: "Will you come and see it together then?"

Shen Xingting tightened their holding hands and curled his lips and said: "Of course."

Someone uploaded the photo of the two holding hands to the school forum. The person who posted it had no ill intentions, but just felt that the two looked very compatible from behind, so he couldn't help but post it to let the sisters follow suit.

Shen Xingting was originally a celebrity in the school, and his love affair was naturally the focus of everyone's attention. So just over half an hour after the post was posted, it had already built up hundreds of floors, and was also marked as a featured post by the administrator, so everyone could see it as soon as they entered the school forum.

[Ahhh, I said that Chairman Shen is such an outstanding person, how could he not have a partner! ]

[Mom, I'm heartbroken! Although, Chairman Shen’s boyfriend looks a bit ugly [embarrassed]】

【+1, he’s really pretty, with a teardrop mole at the end of his eye! 】

【They’re a good match, I’m already fangirling over him! [licking the screen]】

【By the way, don’t you think Chairman Shen looks a bit like Mr. Fu? If you look closely, there’s a bit of Mr. Shen’s shadow [whispering]】

【How funny, Shen Xingting is just a gigolo! He’s just an ordinary person who rents a house, where did he get 20 million? These are all from Cen Jing, he’s an exchange student from Country Y, it’s said his father is the youngest son of a certain earl, worth billions! 】

Among the many comments, there was a malicious one.

At first, no one paid any attention to it, but it received so many likes and replies that it was pushed to the top of the hot comments.

Li Jue was having dinner with a sweet-looking schoolgirl. When he saw her browsing the forum, he turned his head and saw this comment. He slammed the table, took out his phone and started to speak up for his brother.

[Are you kidding me? The young master of the Fu Group, does he need to be someone else's freeloader? Stop kidding [picking nose]]

As soon as these words came out, those who thought Shen Xingting looked like Boss Fu went to the Internet to collect intelligence.

But Shen Xingting had never appeared on camera, and Li Jue thought they wouldn't find him. Who knew that within ten minutes, they had found clues!

[[Picture] This was taken by paparazzi fourteen years ago. Look at the little boy in Boss Fu's arms. He looks exactly like Chairman Shen! ]

[[Picture*6] Sisters, I found it too! Photos of Actor Shen carrying his youngest son back to his mother's house, and photos of the family of four going to the cinema to watch a movie! Pictures speak louder than words. Chairman Shen is really the son of Boss Fu and Actor Shen! 】

Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Chairman Shen, who always kept a low profile and even rented a one-bedroom apartment, was actually the second young master of the Fu Group!

【I played basketball with the young master before. Mom, I have made progress 】

【Playing basketball is nothing. As a senior, I gave the young master an award and shook his hand [proud]】

【Your actions are nothing. The young master and I have used the same toilet and shower! 】

【Uh, brother, you are playing quite perverted】

【Wait, where is the one who slandered our young master? Catch him and kill him! ]

[Hahaha, he saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, so he deleted the comment and ran away]

[Fortunately, it ran fast, otherwise it would not be spared if caught. How dare you slander our young master? Don’t you want to live? [dog head]]

...

Looking at the thousand-story building, Li Jue's heart skipped a beat.

Young master, I didn't mean it. I did it to protect your and the young mistress's reputation QAQ.

Shen Xingting and Cen Jing didn't know that they were "debuted" by Li Jue's words. At this moment, the two were having a candlelight dinner at home.

"Xiao Jing, I'm ready, how about you?" Shen Xingting said while knocking on the bedroom door

after changing into his dress. Originally, he planned to change together, but Cen Jing threw the clothes to him and pushed him out directly. Shen Xingting had no choice but to change his clothes in the living room.

"It will be done soon. Turn your back first and don't peek!" Cen Jing said as he put on his shoes in the bedroom.

"Okay, I won't look." Shen Xingting stared at the bedroom door without moving.

After a while, the bedroom door was opened a little. Cen Jing saw him facing her and said with a red face, "I knew you wouldn't be obedient!"

Seeing that he was angry, Shen Xingting coaxed him gently, "Okay, okay, I won't look."

Cen Jing saw him turn around and then pushed the door open.

"Is it okay?" Shen Xingting asked.

"Not yet." The skirt was too long, so Cen Jing bent down and carefully adjusted it.

After standing up, he took a deep breath, with a red face, and said nervously: "You can turn around now."

Cen Jing's nervous breathing slowed down. Seeing Shen Xingting turned around without saying a word, just staring at him, he pulled the hem of his skirt and said with some disappointment: "It's strange, wait a moment, I'll go back and change it."

"Very beautiful." Shen Xingting came back to his senses, he grabbed Cen Jing's arm and repeated in a low voice, "Very beautiful, like a princess."

He looked at the person in front of him who was wearing a white princess dress with golden curly hair falling from the back of her head to her waist, and asked hoarsely: "This skirt?"

"I picked it up." Cen Jing said with a red face.

Shen Xingting walked up to him, reached out and stroked his slightly hot cheeks, and whispered, "Why? You must have hated me to death at that time."

Cen Jing raised his head and looked at the boy in front of him, who only had him in his eyes and heart from beginning to end, and shook his head with a smile.

"I did hate you at that time, but when I thought about such a beautiful skirt being thrown away, I felt very uncomfortable, as if something important was thrown away with it."

Shen Xingting understood Cen Jing's confession, he raised the corner of his mouth, took a step back, and stretched out his right hand to Cen Jing.

"So, my dear princess, may I have the honor to have dinner with you?"

Cen Jing's smile became more and more brilliant: "Are you a prince?"

"No, I'm a knight, a knight who has always protected your princess."

Cen Jing: "..."

"Hahaha, you're so corny."

"Don't you like it?"

"Well, a little bit, give me more."

"Dear princess, you are the light of my life. My life will be meaningless without you. So please agree to keep me by your side forever."

"Hahaha, no, don't say anymore, I'm almost laughing to tears."

...

The one who can protect the princess and bring happiness to the princess is never the prince she has never met, but the unknown knight beside the princess.
