Chapter 567


    CHAPTER 567 SELF-PRESERVATION


    On her third day there, she met someone. It was a Friday, and she came back to her small vi after


    school only to find a person covered in blood at her doorstep. The boy was wearing an expensive dress


    shirt and seemed to be a scion of a wealthy family who was being pursued by his enemies. He also


    looked like a Charic. Her mom had told her to help out fellow countrymen when abroad and a host of


    other things... but her life was more important. Despite feeling sorry for him, Cecelia chose to protect


    herself, because what if she was also targeted for retaliation? She threw a bottle of medicine at him


    from inside the house and called the ambnce, but the bottle of medicine hit Yozan on the head.


    Yozan had thought that this young girl, who looked quite kind, would help him, but he never expected


    her to be so clever. The impact from the bottle made his difort even worse.


    "I..." His voice was hoarse, and he was about to reach out, but Cecelia yelled at him from behind the


    window with a look of nervousness on her face.


    "Okay, stop. I know you may be seriously injured, and I''ve called the police for you, but... um, don''t


    come over, and don''t say you know me. It''s not easy for a young girl like me to live alone abroad. Let''s


    just be strangers."


    Ceceliaughed nervously and quickly closed the window. Yozan never expected to encounter such a


    ridiculous situation, but fortunately, the ambnce arrived quickly, and he was carried away on a


    stretcher. Before leaving, he took a deep look at the window, where a figure could be seen vaguely


    moving.


    "Is she so afraid of death?" He smirked and let out a hoarseugh.


    Cecelia thought she had gotten herself into big trouble because she had been feeling like someone


    was following her recently. Every day after school, she would look around to make sure she was safe


    before continuing on her way. As she walked, she silently cursed her father for buying a vi in such a


    remote location.


    "I pray for my safety as a young girl living alone abroad," she closed her eyes and prayed, but the next


    second, she bumped into someone''s chest.


    Cecelia lifted her head and saw a boy in front of her with a smile on his face, looking at her with


    amusement. "Why are you praying?"


    Cecelia''s face turned red, and because she didn''t know the boy in front of her, she stepped back warily.


    "Who are you?" Cecelia asked.


    Pointing at his own name tag and spreading his hands, the boy said with a shrug, "Your ssmate."


    Cecelia was too nervous to notice that the boy was wearing the same school uniform as her, and he


    looked particrly handsome in it with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His height of 6


    feet 1 inches could make anyone fall for him.


    "Do you remember me, Cecelia?" The boy called her by her name so easily that Cecelia panicked.


    "Not only did you follow me, but you also investigated me!"

    "I didn''t. Your name is on your name tag," Yozan said, looking a bit helpless. He wondered if this girl


    was really the second-ranked student in their ss. Cecelia nced at his name tag, where she saw


    his name, Yozan Harley, in big letters.


    "Why did you follow me?" Cecelia asked nervously.


    "I didn''t follow you. I''m just walking home with you," Yozan said naturally, taking Cecelia''s bag and


    slinging it over his shoulder.


    Cecelia suddenly eximed, "That''s my bag! Give it back to me!"


    Yozan weighed the bag in his hand and asked, "What''s inside?"


    Cecelia blushed and said, "Why do you ask so many questions?"


    "If you don''t tell me, I''ll look inside myself," Yozan said with a grin.


    Yozan was about to open the bag when Cecelia quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Stop it! I''ll tell


    you!"


    "Books," she exined.


    "And?" Yozan asked.


    "A camera," Cecelia said.


    "What else?"


    "Umm... sanitary pads," Cecelia said.


    Yozan touched his nose and decided not to ask any more questions.


    The two of them walked along the busy street, and Yozan''s handsome face attracted many foreign


    women''s admiring nces. Cecelia looked at him and secretlybeled him as a ''mboyant peacock''.


    "Why are you going the same way as me? I''m almost home now," Cecelia said.


    Standing in front of her vi, she looked a bit helpless. "What''s your purpose for following me? I know


    I''m beautiful, but you don''t have to..."


    Yozan opened the gate next to Cecelia''s vi with a snap, cutting her off mid-sentence.


    "Haha… Turns out we''re neighbors. Nice to meet you..." Ceceliaughed awkwardly, wishing she could


    p herself.


    Unfortunately, her wee did not receive a response. She looked up and saw that the boy had


    already gone inside his vi. She was left standing alone in the wind.


    After a while, Cecelia realized that her bag was still with Yozan. "Wait, my bag is still with you!" she


    eximed.


    Azy voice came from the vi. "I''ll give it back to you tomorrow morning when we go to school."


    Does that mean I have to go to school with this guy?


    From then on, she was forced to start a routine of going to school anding back from school


    together with this guy.


    She had asked him many times what his purpose was for getting close to her, but she never got a


    response. So, she decided to temporarily put the guy under observation.


    A weekter, during a school exam, she was surprised to find that the guy was seated in front of her


    and was caught cheating.


    When caught, Yozan calmly stood up from his chair and said, "I didn''t cheat."


    However, the school administration didn''t care and wanted to take him and his exam paper away.


    "Wait, I can testify that this person didn''t cheat." Yozan turned around and looked at Cecelia behind


    him.


    Although she was cowardly, she still raised her hand to help him seek justice. He let out a chuckle.


    "This matter has nothing to do with you, so don''t get involved." He smiled and patted her head, but


    Cecelia couldn''t care less at this point. Since she had already spoken up, she had to see it through to


    the end.


    "I saw someone slip a note onto his desk with my own eyes. He definitely didn''t cheat." Cecelia nodded


    with conviction. "I can testify to that."


    Yozan''s gaze deepened, but he couldn''t quite ce the feeling. However, the disciplinary teacher


    assumed that the two of them had a close rtionship, and both Cecelia and Yozan were suspended


    from the exam and brought to the disciplinary office. The two of them stood in the office, waiting for the


    principal to arrive.


    Yozan stood there nonchntly and nced at the top of Cecelia''s head. "Aren''t you usually timid and


    afraid of getting into trouble? Why did you testify for me? Aren''t you afraid of being retaliated against by


    whoever slipped me the note?"
