Chapter 178: 181 Zeng Xiaoxiao’s Small Moves

(Still begging for votes, with tears of bitterness!)

————————————

"What should we do now?"

Jin Xiaohan didn’t continue to criticize Zhang Bing. Although the kid’s ideas weren’t great, he couldn’t think of any better ones himself. Besides, many of the schemes involving other girls had been this guy’s doing, and those had actually been quite effective. Maybe Wang Qingqing was just a special case. But how to solve this special case? He frowned and asked.

"Young Master Jin, I can’t think of any good solution either. Actually, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say."

Zhang Bing looked at Jin Xiaohan’s expression and gritted his teeth.

"Speak. What’s with the hesitation?"

Jin Xiaohan glared at him dissatisfiedly. This idiot, still talking about whether it’s appropriate to speak his mind in front of him.

"Young Master Jin, I think, under the current circumstances, your original idea is simply impossible to realize. That girl, Wang Qingqing, I think she must have formed a bad initial impression of you—I mean, a wrong impression—and it’s a strong one. That’s why all these methods, one by one, don’t work. Now, there are only two options left: give up, or take drastic measures and make the cooked rice raw."

Having received Jin Xiaohan’s approval, Zhang Bing gritted his teeth and began to voice his real thoughts.

"What you said isn’t without reason."

Jin Xiaohan pondered for a moment and nodded. He now felt deeply that Wang Qingqing’s opinion of him was too negative. Winning her heart seemed impossibly hard. But to give up? Jin Xiaohan quickly dismissed that option.

"Young Master Jin, no need to hesitate anymore, let’s settle on that. We’ll make the cooked rice raw, and then, she will surely obey you completely, doing whatever you say."

Zhang Bing had been with Jin Xiaohan for so long, he knew exactly what Jin Xiaohan was thinking. Seeing the expression on Jin Xiaohan’s face, he immediately chimed in.

"It’s decided then. I’ll leave this matter to you, come up with something."

Hearing Zhang Bing’s words, Jin Xiaohan no longer hesitated. A hint of sinister determination flashed in his eyes as he said firmly.

"Please rest assured, Young Master Jin, I will definitely arrange everything well."

Zhang Bing didn’t expect Jin Xiaohan to dump this troublesome task on him again. His face immediately turned as bitter as a gourd, but recalling the previous mishaps, he dared not refuse and reluctantly agreed.

Hmph, Wang Qingqing, I wanted to play a game of love with you, but since you prefer punishment over a toast, don’t blame me for not being polite.

Hearing Zhang Bing’s words, Jin Xiaohan nodded in satisfaction, his gaze turned toward the direction where Wang Qingqing had disappeared, and he sneered coldly in his heart, a lewd smile appearing at the corner of his eyes.

......

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yi immediately caught sight of Zeng Xiaoxiao gazing at him with big curious eyes full of gossip, which made his scalp tingle. He pretended not to see and put away his phone, bowing his head.

"Brother Xiao, who was on the phone just now?"

But Zeng Xiaoxiao was not about to let him off the hook, staring at him with her large, adorable eyes, curious.

"A friend."

Xiao Yi had no choice but to lift his head and respond.

"I heard it was a girl."

"It was a girl."

Xiao Yi braced himself.

"Wow, Brother Xiao, a girl is calling you, who is it? Is she pretty? Is she from our school?"

"..."

Watching Zeng Xiaoxiao, whose eyes sparkled like a hungry wolf spotting food, and bombarding him with a string of rapid-fire questions, Xiao Yi was momentarily at a loss for words. What kind of look was that? Is it so strange for a girl to contact him? Is he not charming enough?

Moreover, it was just a girl calling. Was there a need to be so curious?

"Brother Xiao, why aren’t you saying anything?"

"The teacher is here; let’s focus on the class."

Xiao Yi, speechless, changed the topic and glanced at the teacher who had already entered the classroom.

"Brother Xiao, your expression seems a bit off; is something going on?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao whispered into Xiao Yi’s ear.

"What are you thinking about in that little head of yours? It’s just a friend; don’t think too much, and focus on the class."

Xiao Yi turned his head back and nonchalantly tapped on Zeng Xiaoxiao’s forehead, giving her a stern look.

"Don’t hit me. Don’t you know too much hitting can make me stupid?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao immediately felt unhappy, rubbing her head and glaring at Xiao Yi, although she didn’t seem truly angry. Seeing Xiao Yi’s serious expression, she didn’t dare to say anything more. She didn’t know why, but as she got to know Xiao Yi better over time, the fearless Zeng Xiaoxiao felt somewhat scared of him. Although she often teased him, as soon as he frowned and looked serious, she would get intimidated.

It was like facing her sister, no, even scarier than her sister.

It was already the last class of the afternoon; once this class was over, the week would be finished. As soon as the bell rang, Xiao Yi planned to go to the library to find a book to read over the weekend.

"Brother Xiao, school’s out, let’s go out and play."

Just as Xiao Yi was about to stand up, his arm was quickly grabbed by Zeng Xiaoxiao.

As she spoke, her gaze defiantly glared at Zhao Yuhua, as if she was declaring something to her.

Regrettably, Zhao Yuhua kept acting as before, seemingly blind to her, just giving her a calm glance and then completely ignoring her, busily packing her own things.

Xiao Yi, watching Zeng Xiaoxiao’s antics, couldn’t help but feel speechless and amused. Ever since Zhao Yuhua had moved to sit on his other side, Zeng Xiaoxiao often exhibited some inexplicable behaviors, looking all tense as if afraid that Zhao Yuhua would steal him away.

It was just like a child playing with a beloved toy, seeing another child approaching, filled with hostility and vigilance, afraid that the other kid might snatch away their beloved toy.

In reality, he could see clearly. Zhao Yuhua had come over to his side just to leverage his deterrent power against the Four Young Evil Masters, in order to avoid them. She wasn’t actually interested in him. Besides, what did this little girl take him for? Was he something someone could just snatch away?

However, Xiao Yi didn’t bother with her and let her lead him out of the classroom.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to cast your vote or monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
