"Are you okay?"
"Liam…"
Zhen-Zhen didn't expect to see him there. Liam rubbed Zhen-Zhen's forehead that hit his hard chest.
"Does it hurt?" Liam asked her worriedly.
Zhen-Zhen faintly smiled at him while shaking her head. Liam heaved a sigh of relief because of that.
"Why are you here?" Zhen-Zhen asked in puzzlent since Liam didn't usually co in the mini-forest.
"Because you are here," Liam said with a taunting smile on his handso face. His erald eyes sparkling with humor.
Zhen-Zhen was taken aback when she heard that. She opened her mouth to say sothing but no words ca out. She didn't know what to say.
Seeing her beco speechless, Liam let out a soft chuckle. 'Her expression XD… Damn, she's so pretty and adorable,' he thought to himself.
"I am just kidding. I ca to check soone. I saw him go this way." Liam told her the truth after teasing her.
"Sorry I was in a hurry that I accidentally bumped you," He added as he apologized to Zhen-Zhen.
"No, It's alright. I am also at fault here. I was also rushing to see Sophia. She's waiting for ."
"Oh, I saw a girl sitting on the ground under the big tree. She was reading her book. I guess she's Sophia, your friend, isn't she?"
Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head with a bright smile on her face.
"Yes, she's Sophia, my friend."
"Hmm, but I noticed that she looks like she's feeling down. Is there sothing wrong? I can feel the gloomy aura around her as if anyti she is gonna cry. Or maybe she's reading a sad story in her book." Liam shared his thoughts with Zhen-Zhen based on his observation after noticing Sophia.
Zhen-Zhen's expression saddened as she recalled everything that happened to Sophia.
"So people made my friend upset," Zhen-Zhen said to him truthfully.
Liam raised his hands and reached out to touch Zhen-Zhen's face. Then he pinched her cheeks and stretched them out to make her smile.
"Don't give this sad face, Lady. I want you to smile," Liam softly said while smiling at her.
Zhen-Zhen blinked her eyes several tis as she gazed at Liam with amusent. She was at a loss for words again.
'He is pinching my cheeks too hard. But… I'm too shy to complain,' Zhen-Zhen thought to herself while biting her lower lip.
As if Liam had heard her thoughts he released her cheeks.
"Alright, go now... before I keep you here. Your friend might be waiting for you already. If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell , okay?" Liam mumbled, the sincerity was reflected in his eyes as he stared at Zhen-Zhen intently.
Zhen-Zhen gave him a grateful smile before nodding her head. Soon she said goodbye to Liam. After talking to him, she didn't realize that the person Liam was following was none other than FaMo.
FaMo was gone and Liam didn't see him in that area so he just ca back to the faculty room. He was now preparing for his next class.
Zhen-Zhen and Sophia also ca back to their respective classrooms. Their next class was about to start in fifteen minutes. Sophia tried to avoid getting noticed by Jade's group.
While waiting for their professor to arrive, Zhen-Zhen decided to check one of the two phones FaMo had given her a while ago.
John's phone was the one she randomly picked between the two. 'Oh, I forgot to ask FaMo about the password.'
With that Zhen-Zhen tried to communicate with FaMo using their mind link.
Zhen-Zhen: 'FaMo, where are you? Did you erase the video already?'
FaMo: 'Yes, Zhen-Zhen. I destroyed his laptop. I burned it. Hahaha.'
She and FaMo loved to burn things. Zhen-Zhen smiled inwardly at that thought.
Zhen-Zhen: 'Good, FaMo. By the way, do you know John's password?'
Zhen-Zhen knew that the phone she was holding right now was owned by John as she saw his picture on his wallpaper.
FaMo: '0000, that's the password.'
Zhen-Zhen: "..." ( Eh? Too easy to rember XD )
Zhen-Zhen: 'How about Lester's Phone?'
FaMo: '1234'
Zhen-Zhen facepald after hearing that. 'n and their mory. Well, n didn't want to complicate things sotis.'
After getting the password, Zhen-Zhen started exploring John's cellphone. Zhen-Zhen found what she was looking for. The ssage history between Marcus, Lester, and John. There's also a conversation between John and Jade that was related to the incident with Sophia.
Zhen-Zhen found out that Marcus and his friends made a bet about Sophia. She also learned that Marcus just approached Sophia because of his deal with his sister. He was courting another girl nad Athena.
Aside from that, Zhen-Zhen also confird that Marcus had no idea about the drugging incident and the video. It was his sister's idea. But still, it didn't change the fact that Marcus was not innocent. He also made a bet with his friends.
She also read so insulting words directed at Sophia. Her grip on the phone tightened. Zhen-Zhen had the urge to smash the phone when she saw those words.
It did not take long when a group chat popped up on the screen. Zhen-Zhen clicked it to read the ssages.

At that certain mont, Zhen-Zhen made her decision.
"I'm gonna participate in the selection of Campus Belle. I'm doing this for Sophia. I'm gonna beat these Ladies who think so highly of themselves."
