Bai Xiaosi was coming home? My rival in love and my benefactor was coming home? Mai Ding's mind was flooded with many thoughts. However, the term 'rival in love' didn't seem appropriate. Wasn't Mai Ding 'the one woman'?

Mai Ding always felt that he was indebted to Bai Xiaosi. Right now he was feeling a little confused.

Both of them were now in the car. Even though Mai Ding had gotten his license, the one driving was still An Ziyan. Mai Ding was feeling a little nervous but he knew Bai Xiaosi was not a bad person. However, he still did not know many things about her. Did she still love An Ziyan? Would An Ziyan recall the love he had for her after seeing her again?

Before Mai Ding could finish his weird thoughts, the two boys had already reached the airport. Mai Ding was still feeling a little perturbed when he got off the car. He followed An Ziyan to the Arrival Hall. It was about time. People were streaming out of the gate. Mai Ding was looking all around to see if he could recognise her on his own. Just then, he heard someone calling out, 'My ex-boyfriend!' Everyone turned to look at her.

Such attention irritated An Ziyan and his face was unmistakably blacker than usual. He tried to ignore what had happened.

From where he stood, Mai Ding finally saw Bai Xiaosi. She had tied her hair into a ponytail and was wearing a blue coat, jeans and canvas shoes. She was indeed beautiful. The feeling that she gave others was one of a kind. Bai Xiaosi continued shouting, 'My ex-boyfriend!' Once she was near them, she practically leapt into An Ziyan's arms. 'So you do have a conscience! I knew you would come.'

Mai Ding was standing apart from them. He saw that she was hugging An Ziyan tightly but he was frowning like his usual self. Mai Ding, however, was not jealous in any way. He wasn't bothered because it was Bai Xiaosi, after all. Furthermore, given the situation, he didn't really have the right to say anything since he was, after all, 'the other woman'.

'Let go of me.' AnZiyan said curtly.

Still grinning like Cheshire cat, Xiaosi let him go and it was then when she saw another guy standing next to her ex-boyfriend. She guessed that this fella was Mai Ding. Mai Ding was feeling a little uncomfortable when her gaze finally fell on him. He knew he could not compare to his boyfriend. It was then, Bai Xiaosi pounced on him and exclaimed, 'What a cutie! Ex-boyfriend, you sure have good taste in men too!'

This was the first time Mai Ding was praised for his looks. He thought that Bai Xiaosi would have looked down on him. Never in his wildest dream did he expect such a greeting from her. He was feeling a little flattered actually and his impression of her was also getting better.

AnZiyan, seeing the two of them hugging, tore the two of them apart, saying, 'Alright! Enough is enough.'

'Wow, you mean, you can get jealous too?' Bai Xiaosi commented sarcastically.

'Shuddap.'

Mai Ding finally floated back to Earth and, smiling cheerfully at Bai Xiaosi, said, 'Welcome home, my benefactor!'

AnZiyan thought it was strange for Mai Ding to call Bai Xiaosi that. However, he said nothing. He could never truly fathom all that Mai Ding was thinking.

'I'm hungry. Let's go grab a bite.' Bai Xiaosi exclaimed and ran towards the car. She took the backseat, leaving the seat next to driver for Mai Ding. Mai Ding was touched by her gesture. Bai Xiaosi was indeed a great girl. She bore no malice and she was not after An Ziyan again.
