Chapter 206: Chapter 205: Make Them More Annoyed

"Ah?"

Upon hearing Fatty Tang’s somewhat jumbled words, Xiao Yi finally snapped back to reality, lifted his head, and looked at Fatty Tang with a somewhat astonished expression. Seeing the sincere worry on Fatty Tang’s face, he instantly knew that Fatty Tang had misunderstood him, assuming something else entirely.

However, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel a faint sense of being moved by what Fatty Tang had said.

Although he knew that the words Fatty Tang was saying to him might not necessarily come true, he was aware that it was true about Fatty Tang’s father owning a company. Even though Fatty Tang had never mentioned it before, Xiao Yi could somewhat guess that this was the case. However, he also knew that Fatty Tang’s father would certainly not hire a student expelled from the university just because of a single request from him.

Especially if he knew that Xiao Yi was an enemy of the Four Young Evil Masters, it would be even more unlikely for him to agree.

Of course, he didn’t need Fatty Tang’s help, and he also wasn’t planning to leave Z University for the time being.

"Boss, I really mean it!"

Seeing Xiao Yi looking at him with an odd expression, Fatty Tang thought that Xiao Yi didn’t believe his words and quickly became anxious as he earnestly repeated himself.

"Fatty, I know you’re serious. I’m grateful that your family is well-off, and if I ever need help in the future, I’ll definitely come to you. For now, don’t worry about it too much. Rest assured, I’m not going anywhere," Xiao Yi replied, coming back to his senses and seeing Fatty Tang’s worried look, he couldn’t help but smile wryly and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Seeing Xiao Yi’s calm demeanor, Fatty Tang became even more worried. He knew that Xiao Yi was skilled in fighting, and he indeed looked quite impressive and powerful when in a brawl, but as the Four Young Evil Masters thought, he also believed that fighting wasn’t something one could rely on to survive in this information age. Moreover, since he had known Xiao Yi, apart from being very rare occasions, Xiao Yi almost went to class every day at the university, always looking like a studious student, dressed in very simple clothes.

Therefore, in his heart, like the Four Young Evil Masters and most students in their class, he had preconceived notions and felt that Xiao Yi was truly just like many other students from rural areas. The only way out was through knowledge and exams, certifications, and academic degrees to change one’s fate. Struggling for ten years to finally get into university, only to be expelled before even completing freshman year must shatter one’s dreams. He should be feeling devastated, or at least suffering greatly. Of course, or perhaps in a more manly way, Fatty Tang should have patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dude, let’s go out for a drink..."

In any case, none of these should result in the current situation, feeling so calm and tranquil.

"What could be wrong with me? Don’t overthink it. Go on, class is about to start. Pay attention and listen well," Xiao Yi responded, looking at Fatty Tang with a puzzled glance. He saw that Fatty Tang was gazing at him with a weird expression, which made him look down at himself in confusion. His shirt wasn’t missing any buttons, his trouser zipper was zipped up tight, and his clothes were spotless, with no pranks like a turtle drawing stuck onto them. Although the clothes were old, they were as clean as when he had first put them on, without a single stain.

Raising his head, he caught sight of the classroom door through the corner of his eye; the teacher had already walked in, so he quickly nudged Fatty Tang.

"Boss, don’t leave after class ends, okay? I want to take you out for a drink!"

Seeing the expression on Xiao Yi’s face really didn’t seem like he was troubled, and his tone was indeed very calm, Fatty Tang’s face couldn’t help but reveal a trace of astonishment again. He wondered inwardly with amazement, could the boss really be this resilient to setbacks?

After thinking for a moment, he still felt uneasy, fearing that Xiao Yi was just enduring it. He wanted to say more, but seeing that the teacher had already come over, he had to stop himself from offering more words of comfort. While heading back to his own seat, he turned his head to caution Xiao Yi with one more remark.

Watching Fatty Tang look back three steps at a time with a cautious air, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel touched and found it a bit amusing. At the same time, he finally understood the odd look Fatty Tang had given him earlier and what it meant.

Turns out he was worried that Xiao Yi was overwhelmed by the shock.

This Fatty Tang, do I really look like I can’t handle setbacks?

Watching Fatty Tang settle back into his seat, Xiao Yi shook his head and was about to turn away, but just as he turned his head, his expression couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

What he saw was Zhao Yuhua, with her usual cold demeanor, walking in. He hadn’t noticed her earlier; she must have followed the teacher in. Seeing Xiao Yi, a rare trace of mild surprise appeared in Zhao Yuhua’s chilly eyes, as if she found it odd to see Xiao Yi there.

However, that trace of surprise was fleeting, quickly returning to her usual coldness. She continued forward at a steady, unrushed pace toward her seat.

If it hadn’t been for his conversation with Fatty Tang, Xiao Yi might have found her reaction somewhat strange, but now, he understood right away. She must have also heard about his expulsion from school, and since he hadn’t shown up in the morning, she probably thought he wouldn’t be coming back at all. The sudden sight of him sitting there was what likely caused her surprise.

Smiling faintly, Xiao Yi turned his head back and focused on the teacher at the front who had started speaking. He pretended to listen attentively to the lecture while his mind began to ponder how exactly to teach the Four Young Evil Masters a lesson.

The simplest method would be to give them a severe beating, or even to erase them from this world, which wasn’t a particularly difficult task for Xiao Yi.

But that thought only ran through Xiao Yi’s mind for a moment before he tossed it aside. Although simple and momentarily satisfying, such an approach felt too suffocating for him, devoid of the sense of release he desired, totally lacking in satisfaction.

Moreover, the Four Young Evil Masters were no ordinary people. Whether he opted for eradication or a thrashing, it was sure to cause a major stir. He would face many complications. Of course, he was capable of acting without leaving a trace, so that even the world’s greatest detective, a reborn Holmes, wouldn’t find a single clue. But Xiao Yi was very clear on one point; there were many things in the world that simply didn’t require any clues.

For instance, if something were to happen to Fatty Tang, he wouldn’t bother investigating for clues or waste any effort on it. He would simply, unhesitatingly, go all out to annihilate the Four Young Evil Masters at any cost.

Plus, if the Four Young Evil Masters didn’t know it was him who taught them a lesson, how could he feel pleased? (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
