After the teacher left Billy draw near to Xiao Xie smiling "we are in the same group now so we will have to see each other often" Billy said and smiled mockingly, Xiao Xie did not reply him, she just shake her head then went out, Billy smirk looking at her going out "i find this girl more interesting now" Billy said to himself as he keep staring at Xiao Xie's back while she goes out of the class "I will make sure to tease her until she agree to talk to me" Billy said smiling with seduction, some of the girls in the class who wants to be friends with Billy noticed that Billy's look towards Xiao Xie as she went out of the class, they feel that something is going on between Billy and Xiao Xie and they get jealous because even though they wants to talk to Billy and get closer to him he did not show interest in them

Seeing Xiao Xie going out of the class, three of the girl follow her out to teach her a lesson for getting close to Billy while they could not, as Xiao Xie is coming back from the bathroom where she went, one of the girls put her leg on the way so Xiao Xie could trip on it "can't you see?" The girl who put her leg on the way said as if it is Xiao Xie who intentionally step on her

Xiao Xie knows that the girl deliberately put her leg on the way so she decide to ignore her and try to stand up but the other girl use her knee to push her down again and one of her hand get bruised, Xiao Xie wants to ignore the girls before but since they wants to find trouble with her Xiao Xie decided to put up a fight with them too so she fights back, Xiao Xie then push the girl who push her down but the other also face her, the moment one of them is about to slap her someone suddenly ask "what are you girls doing?"

Everyone of them look up and see Billy coming towards them angrily, the girls were shocked and they quickly let Xiao Xie alone, Billy look at them annoyingly, the girls looks scared and quickly run to the class, Billy look at Xiao Xie who is still on the floor with a bruised hand, he stretch his hand towards her to help her up but Xiao Xie stare at him with anger "I do not need your help" she roar at Billy and stand up her then went back to the class

"What!" Billy look surprise as Xiao Xie turn him down, his eyes seems red from embrassment because no one has ever shout on him like that not even his grandfather "did she just transfer the aggression on me?" Billy feel that Xiao Xie is so annoying "since she wants to continue to prove touch then i will not give up until she become I break her" Billy said as his eyes shine with anger, look determined and smiled like a lion who just sees is prey, everytime Xiao Xie ignores Billy, he wants to get closer to her, Billy don't know why but since it fun to him, he decide to push Xiao Xie to the edge of the wall.

At night in Xiao Xie's house, the family of four gather together for dinner, most time they eat chicken for dinner and tonight they are also having chicken "why can't we eat something else? Am tired of eating chicken almost everytime" Xiao Xie said with an unhappy face pouting her mouth "don't worry we will cook something different tomorrow" her father replied her "that is what you always say" Xiao Xin, Xiao Xie's little brother said with his mouth full of chicken, because he is eating and talking he gets choked on the mouth and start coughing "drink water" their mother quickly bring water to Xiao Xin's mouth but he keep coughing and he suddenly gets an attack because his heart is stressed from coughing since he continue to cough so much, the family quickly rush Xiao Xin to the hospital and they were there until morning

Though they were not really surprised about the attack of Xiao Xin because it happens like that most of times, this time he his not in danger but he his admitted to rest for some days, the doctor already told them to pay for surgery so that they can operate on him but they did not have the money yet since they are not financially bouyant and because of that Xiao Xin keep having attacks, whenever he gets an attack like that they will rush him to the hospital

Xiao Xie quickly rush back home the next morning since they all have to sleep in the hospital because if her brother, Xiao Xie quickly left the hospital to prepare for school the but she is late and she gets punished, when she gets to class, after the teacher left Billy draw his chair closer to her as if he wants to gossip "you are very late today, hope nothing?" Xiao Xie look at him and did not answer him so Billy continue "how is your brother?" Billy ask with concern, Xiao Xie is surprised hearing Billy asking about her brother, she look at him with shock because no one in the school knows about her brother talk less of knowing what about to her brother yesterday, Xiao Xie stare at Billy with surprise, Billy searching into her eyes wanting to know what she is thinking "did you want to tell me about it?" Billy ask Xiao Xie but Xiao Xie look at him angrily "i don't have anything to tell you about my family" Xiao Xie snub him "I don't mean any harm, am just worried about you" Billy look serious, Xiao Xie look at Billy once again as if she is looking at an enemy but she discover that Billy truly seem worried about her not that she wants to mock her so she is surprise "how did he know about my brother and why will he be worried about me? Xiao Xie thought with confusion

"That is all a lie, he just want to mock me" Xiao Xie thinks to herself "you don't have to worry about me or my family" she replied and look away to avoid Billy's gaze on her, Billy sigh since Xiao Xie decides to still prove tough and strong in such situation "i don't think you can escape from me" he said and smirked, Xiao Xie frown and look back at Billy when he said she will not be able to escape from him "what did he mean by that?" Xiao Xie thinks and get a little worried, Billy also did not know why he will said something like that but he thought that she will be able to confide in him when he ask about his brother's health, yesterday's night Ray told Billy this morning about Xiao Xie's brother getting an attack yesterday's night since Billy already ask Ray to monitor every of Xiao Xie's family activities since he wants to know everything that is happening with them so Ray told him, that is how gets to know about Xiao Xie's brother so Billy decide to ask Xiao Xie about it thinking that she will tell him and share her worries with him but Xiao Xie give him a cold shoulder, Billy feel a little angry with Xiao Xie's attitude towards him but he also feels that what he said is too much "won't that scared her away? What if she finds out about who I am?" Billy thinks about what he said to Xiao Xie just now, he did not want Xiao Xie to know about his real identity because it will make things more complicated between them, remembering that Billy wants to say something to Xiao Xie so she will not be suspicious of him and find out about who he really is "Xiao Xie, I" before Billy could finish his statement, Xiao Xie cut him off "I don't have your time" she stand up and went out.
