The Exclusive Smile of the Devil Princess

  "Ah." Xīn opened the door and was startled when she saw us. We were sitting in the living room on the first floor, waiting for her. As for the reason, it's because we wanted to know what Xīn had been secretly doing lately, every day after school she would quickly leave by herself and not return home until very late.

  "What are you doing here?" Xīn said hesitantly.

  "What's going on? Isn't it just waiting for someone and seeing when she comes back?" Ying said.

  "Oh, I'm back now, hurry up and go to sleep." She said as she walked towards the stairs.

  "Wait." I said, stopping him.

  "Is there anything else?" she said coldly. I made a face at Ying and Qi. They immediately understood, walked over to Xiang, grabbed her, and sat down on the sofa.

  "What's going on, you know yourself, say it." Ying leaned in close to Xin's face.

  "I - I really don't know."

  "Huh?" I asked in doubt.

  "Honesty is rewarded with leniency, resistance is met with severity. Xīn, just say it." Qí pretended to be thinking as if she were Xīn.

  "Maybe - I don't know." Xīn said with an innocent face.

  "Don't try to deceive me, you know we're not buying that. Tell me, why did you leave school so early and go back home? And I haven't seen you at home either? Lately, you've been coming back so late every day? Also, it seems like Xi hasn't been participating in club activities much either?" Ying fired off a series of questions.

  "How can I answer so many questions?"

  "Cut the crap, let's take it one by one. With your IQ, it shouldn't be a problem." Qi said with a sneer.

  "Wait, let me go change first."

  "Don't think of escaping, you may escape for a moment, but not for a lifetime. You can hide from the first day, but not from the fifteenth." Qi pressed down on Xin to prevent him from running away.

  "Let him speak." I also let him say it out loud.

  "Hey, aren't you guys forcing me?"

  "What's the difference."

  "Alright, I'll say it." She sat up straight, took a sip of tea, and said: "Do you guys still remember last Saturday? That day I left early, and on Friday night, I received a call from Xi."

  "Ugh, so embarrassing." Jing rubbed her hands together.

  "You're still the same."

  "Alright, Ying, stop interrupting." I ordered. Because I'm also interested in this matter.

  "I received his call, he asked me to meet him at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning in the central square, and asked me to accompany her to a concert. Although I don't know why he knew my phone number, it's possible that Hao told him or he looked it up. But I agreed, I think there's nothing wrong with it anyway, you guys should also go out, and I'm not uninterested in music either, so I agreed without telling you."

  "Then."

  "The next day I was late for 10 minutes, when I arrived, he was already there. 'I've been waiting for a long time, sorry I'm late.' He didn't do anything, just smiled and said to me: 'It's okay, I haven't been here for long either. Let's go, the concert is about to start.' But I could tell he had been waiting for a long time. So I followed him to the concert hall, it was a big event, we listened to many beautiful songs."

  "How was it, did you enjoy the concert? Have you been to a concert before?" he asked me as we were leaving the venue. I nodded. He just smiled and didn't say much more. We sat down in a café, and he told me that he majored in flute, which I had somewhat guessed. Suddenly, holding my hand, he said: "Xin, I really like you, you're very unique, I've been deeply attracted to you since you arrived at Sakura Academy, will you be my girlfriend?"

  "But I'm afraid your parents won't agree, given the huge difference in our social status." At that time, I was very confused. I knew my current identity was just a nouveau riche, and even if it were my true identity, I felt I didn't deserve to have love because I was an assassin.

  "What's the difference with an assassin? He's still a human being, did you promise him in the end?" Qi said.

  "There was, because he said a sentence like this 'I don't care about your status, I love you as a person, not your status. Besides, my family has enough money already, rest assured, my parents are very good people, they will definitely agree. Moreover, you once saved my sister. Even if I die, I won't regret it.' At that time, I cried, I was moved by his words, so I accepted."

  "Then, you two have been going to a world of your own every day after school recently," I said.

  Xin nodded slightly.

  "Xin, actually you are qualified to own this happiness, you must grasp it, don't wait until you lose it before cherishing it. I can see that Xi is a good man. Alright, the truth is out, everyone go to sleep now."

  Everyone went back to their own rooms. I stood on the balcony of my room, gazing at the sky and whispered: "Xin, wish you happiness."
