Chapter 122 - 121: Eyes On Her

With a pose of encouragement, Nie An spoke to comfort Xiao Yun. "Don't worry, Xiao Yun. I and Ling Ling will definitely help you find the person who did this to you! If I found them later, I will definitely pour cold water to sober them up!"

Xiao Yun's eyes were slightly widened. When she was also bullied in the past, no one stood up for her and she originally thought that even without someone staying by her side as long as she has Wang Li Lei, she would never care. 

Although her heart still stayed the same about needing no one other than Wang Li Lei in time of darkness, having someone to protect and stay by your side as a friend was also a very pleasant thing to experience. 

Xiao Yun laughed softly. "Thank you."

"Mn!" Nie An nodded proudly. 

----

Seconds passed into minutes and minutes passed into hours, without noticing, Xiao Yun who place all her focus on the teacher's lesson, the ball for the break time rang. 

Xiao Yun attentively stacked her book and stood up from her chair with her lunch box that was made by the servants from Wang Li Lei's residence.

Nie An also followed her side by side and spoke with her. "Did you see the chat group yesterday? About the water bottle Cinderella?"

Xiao Yun nearly choked from her words and nodded. "Yes, I heard."

"It's you isn't it?" Nie An continued with sharp eyes like a cat. 

Xiao Yun nodded. "How do you know?"

"Last time, you were the only one who went to the food stall to buy food and water bottle, so I wildly guessed that it's you." Nie An gave her a conclusion. 

Xiao Yun gave a long 'Hm'. 

Nie An stopped and snapped her finger. "But you don't need to worry, I made sure the aunty in the food stall not to mention your name!" 

Xiao Yun slanted her head. "Did you asked her not to? How?"

"Well, this aunty talked with me for a long time and then after exchanging some stories, I told  her not to gave out your identity and she immediately agreed!"

Xiao Yun clasped her hand happily. "Thank you!!!"

"No worry, no worry!" Timid from all the thanks she received from her idol, Nie An rubbed her nose.

"Ah! That's true, today that troublemaker didn't come." Nie An scoffed. 

Xiao Yun stepped down from the stairs slowly. "Trouble maker?"

Nie An pointed her hand and wrinkled her nose before replying with a half-hearted tone. "The young master."

The young master that Nie An mentioned would, of course, be no one other than Xue Xiu Yong. Speaking about that, Xiao Yun didn't notice it but he certainly didn't come to school today. Perhaps, Xue Xiu Yong's father company was still dealing with the problem that Wang Li Lei created?

Last night also, when Xiao Yun asked Wang Li Lei what did he thought about Xue Xiu Yong, he quickly covered her mouth to stop Xiao Yun from calling his name in both jealous and disgust. 

'How adorable!'

As they arrived at interlude between stairs, a pair of cold eyes looked at Xiao Yun and pushed her from behind. 

As they did so, Xiao Yun noticed an eye glaring at her with evil intention and turned her face sharply, giving no chance for the person to did what she wanted to do. 

The person who saw Xiao Yun's quick sense clicked its tongue and cohered with the crowds of students. 

"Xiao Yun? Is there something there?" Nie An asked while looking around at Xiao Yun's eyes direction and observed. 

Xiao Yun sensed the presence disappearing and shook her head. "No, it's nothing."

The two of them searched for a place to seat in the cafeteria and found an empty spot. Taking the place, Nie An wanted to get the food from the canteen and spoke before she left. "I will be going."

"Mn,  Take care." Xiao Yun replied while preparing her portable chopstick case. Her sharp ears subconsciously overheard the conversation behind her table which was filled with mostly girls. 

"Didn't you heard yet about the identity of the water bottle Cinderella?" One of the girls with eyes heated as if she was about to enter a war.

"Yes, yes! I know! But I'm very curious who is that water bottle Cinderella!"

The previous girl gave a smirked and spoke with proudness. "I asked the aunty in the food stall! Do you know what she said?"

The other girls looked at each other and hurried. "What? Quick! Tell us!" 

The girl nodded and replied. "The girl is not that beautiful and didn't leave that much impression on her, she said she wore rounded glasses and a very light brown hair!"

"Really?! Then we definitely need to find that girl! What class do you think she is in?"

"Wait, shouldn't we tell Zhuang Han Wu first?"

"No! I think we should find them first!"

Xiao Yun behind nearly choked from trying to keep her laughter down. Yesterday, she bought a quiet amount of foods and the aunty especially gave her another free water bottler after seeing how tired she was. It was clear that the aunty in the food stall was lying about the girl's appearance and there wasn't any student dressed that way. 

'This must be Nie An's work and the aunty's' Xiao Yun giggled. 

Zhi Ling Ling who just came to the canteen belatedly stand on her tiptoes to find Xiao Yun and immediately walk up to her as she found her. 

"Xiao Yun." She called her name still with her timid voice. 

Seeing Zhi Ling Ling, Xiao Yun remembered what she wanted to do and called her brightly. "Ling Ling! Good that you came, actually I have something very important to discuss with you!"

Zhi Ling Ling placed her lunch box and asked her. "Something to discuss with me?"

"Mn!" Xiao Yun thought for a moment how she could get into the topic of modeling and decide to take an indirect approach. "Do you know what you would want to be in the future?"

Zhi Ling Ling paused in silence. She clearly didn't expect Xiao Yun to abruptly ask the question, but it didn't mean that she doesn't want to answer her, she just never thought about it. 

But she does have a passion for designing and wanted to work in a field that includes clothing and fashion. 

"I never thought much about it but I want to work in the fashion industry." Zhi Ling Ling answered. 

Receiving the fateful answer, Xiao Yun's eyes sparkled like a star. "That's great! How about modeling? What do you think about being a model?"

Zhi Ling Ling's eyes widened, she looked down on her appearance and shook her head. "But, I don't think my appearance is good enough."

'What are you saying?!!! You are so beautiful!! It's only that twin braid and thick eyeglasses that hid it!!'

Xiao Yun looked at Zhi Ling Ling's defenseless hand and capture both of them with her hand and held it warmly. "Don't worry! You are beautiful! Very beautiful! If you can't have any confidence, then have confidence in my words! You will definitely become a very successful model!"

Like a splash of blinding light to her heart, Zhi Ling Ling's confidence felt as if it was lifted up by a gentle cloud of angelic feathers. 

Zhi Ling Ling's mouth involuntarily answered. "Maybe, I could try?"

Hearing those words, Xiao Yun nodded happily and pulled Chu Bing Lou's card name from her pocket. "This person, if you have time, call him about the modeling. "

Zhi Ling Ling pale fingers took the name card and read it in silence. 'Head Director Chu Bing Lou'

Her eyes widened in shock. "Chu Bing Lou! That head director of the famous entertainment company? How did you get his name card?"

Xiao Yun held the back of her neck out of habit but realized what she was about to do and put down her hand. "I got it from my fiancee."

Fiancee... Zhi Ling Ling immediately didn't ask any more questions, Xiao Yun's fiancee is the one and only CEO of Wang Corporation, Wang Li Lei, of course, something like this would have been easy for him to attain. 

'But-...' Zhi Ling Ling looked at Xiao Yun who had to resume her eating. 

'Did Xiao Yun ask her fiancee for this? For me?' Zhi  Ling Ling's eyes sparkled in admiration toward Xiao Yun's considerateness, thoughtfulness, and kindness. 

In Zhi Ling Ling's eyes, it was akin to a priest who took her courage to ask the Demon Lord for a request. 

After thinking that,  Zhi Ling Ling looked at the name card with hope. 

'If you can't have confidence in yourself, have confidence in my words.'

Zhi Ling Ling finally understood what it meant to have someone else to lean on. She couldn't possibly let this opportunity and the person who have confidence in her down. 

On the other hand, Nie An came back to the seat with a trayful of foods and placed it on the seat. "What were you two talking about?"

Xiao Yun waved her hand and answered. "Nothing big, it's just some recommendation."

"Ah..." Nie An nodded and the three girls ate silently while giving some talks in between.
