Nian Xi bravely interrupted the silence, "Brother, don't you think you are acting very petty in front of your love rival?"

"Who said that he's my love rival? He's not nearly as qualified as me," Nian Junting slanted his gaze towards Luosang, and he could see that she looked upset.

He vaguely recalled that she called him mean.

"Don't be mistaken, Nian Xi. Your brother and I are only pretending. We came to a consensus in the morning to put on this show to help my case and reputation," Luosang explained.

"Sounds like a good plan. So, you guys are only a pretend couple? Bro, aren't you taking this acting job too seriously?" Nian Xi looked at her brother.

"I can't help it. I take everything I do seriously," Nian Junting reached out and ruffled Luosang's hair vigorously, "So tell me about you and Chi Shengxu. Have you known him for a long time? Since you were a child? How come you never brought him up? What's your relationship with him now? You're not allowed to call him 'Ah Xu' from now on, and you're also not allowed to bat your eyes at him."

Luosang's hair was in a mess and her mind was as well.

Aren't these things out of his realm of control? she thought.

"Enough," she peeled his hand off her head in frustration, "He is my friend, and I can do whatever I want because it's none of your business."

"I won't allow it," Nian Junting said bossily, "Since you hired me to be your boyfriend, I will take this role seriously till the end."

"When did I ever hire you? Didn't you step up and choreograph this story on your own? Can I fire you?" Luosang said harshly.

"No."

They just stepped into the hostel and she already wanted him gone, Nian Junting was highly displeased.

She had an uneasy feeling that she just got herself stuck in a rut.

Nian Xi patted her shoulder with sympathy, "Sansan, you shouldn't have agreed to go ahead with this plan! It'll be an impossible mission to get rid of my brother."

Luosang nodded her head in agreement, and she was starting to realize how difficult it would be to get away from Nian Junting now. Suddenly, Ni Miao and He Ruyi appeared together with Director Xu. When Ni Miao saw Luosang, she quickly pointed at her and said, "Director Xu, this is the girl who stole my money last night."

Luosang frowned. She didn't expect Director Xu to be there too. She had a feeling that they had a long day ahead of them.

Director Xu assessed Luosang quickly and then introduced himself to Nian Xi and Du Zheng, "Are you here to investigate what happened last night? I only heard about the theft at the women's hostel early this morning, and the case has gotten quite a buzz. According to the school rules, if the case ends up implicating the school's reputation and standing, then we will either bring the case to the disciplinary counsel or expel her."

"Although the sum of money involved is only five thousand dollars, we want to be thorough with the investigation as it concerns the reputation of a student here. There were some parts of the story that didn't add up, so we're back to look at the CCTV," Du Zheng said.

"Police officer, didn't you find the money in her bag last night yourself? Why do you have to look at the CCTV today?" Ni Miao asked hurriedly, her eyes darting around before resting on Luosang, "I don't care what tricks you pulled to make the police officers come over to re-investigate the case, but I know you did it. How could you do such a thing after the level of trust Professor Li put in you? He even made you the emcee for the Christmas event! You are a disgrace of the faculty."
