If these movements were done by another woman, it'd be difficult to avoid expressing a trace of ambiguity. However, there was simply a complete absence of this kind of feeling from Wei Wei's body. She maintained a distance from him that was just right, neither too close, nor too far. Most of all, her expression smiled lightly carrying her characteristic languidness, and seemed as if she was doing something very ordinary.

"All done." Wei Wei retrieved the handkerchief.

Baili Jia Jue also didn't prevent her from treating him, clearly he's used to people serving him. It's just that, when Wei Wei retrieved that handkerchief, his pair of dark eyes looked up slightly.

Wei Wei collected everything, returned them to the doctor, and smiled as before. "We merely used a bit of iodine, and shouldn't have to pay for it."

The doctor receiving the things was dumbstruck. Only when the two people left, did his senses return to him, and became extremely angry. [Who said it wasn't necessary!]

"The people who wanted to hinder you were those young lords from the Superior Compound?" Wei Wei also didn't beat around the bush as she immediately spoke to the point. "Because of the competition this time?"

Baili Jia Jue emotionlessly 'mm hm'd and rolled his sleeves in a manner that was neither rushed, nor slow. His build as well as his face were flawless. Walking within a crowd, he was like a precious oil painting. Frequently, people would turn their heads to look at him. This wasn't an overstatement at all.

Wei Wei felt that actually, this environment wasn't suitable for chatting, as she turned her head and directly sighed. "When you go out next time, you should wear a mask, just like Third Prince."

When he heard the word 'mask', Baili Jia Jue's fingers stiffened and seeing that there's no other intent in Wei Wei's eyes, he then calmly said. "The academy rules states that students can't wear masks."

Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. "You still care about the school rules?" Wonder who it was that showed himself off in front of the teacher on their first day of school.

Baili Jia Jue smiled. "Of course."

"The principal said that we need to wait for the third team member." Wei Wei's lips curved. "You seem to be very close to our third team member, should you ask the servant by your side to rush him a bit?"

"I already rushed him." Baili Jia Jue looked up and scanned the passageway to the Inferior Compound not too far away. "He's already here."

Wei Wei followed his gaze, looked over, and only saw a demonically charming guy surrounded by three or four young girls with him in the middle. He smilingly chatted with them, not uncomfortable about it in the slightest. He seemed to attend to each of the girls, not paying special attention to any single flower among a field of thousands.

Having noticed their gazes, Nangong Lie faced the two girls to his left and right and smiled, extremely elegantly. "My friends have arrived. Can I trouble you to give me some space?"

Even though the young ladies were felt they lost face slightly, they also didn't resist this request of his as they glanced at him with hidden bitterness then left with their servants.

When they passed by Wei Wei's side, there arrogant expressions resembled a peacock that spread its tail.

Wei Wei didn't pay any attention to them. She already lazily found a place to sit down.

On the other hand, when Nangong Lie saw the two of them appearing together, his pair of long and narrow eyes was brimming with an unprecedented contemplation.
