Chapter 26: Chapter 25 Cute Beauty

As he was walking away, Xiao Yi didn’t forget the virtue of courtesy and promptly locked the rooftop door with a flick of his hand, bolting it from the inside. Whether they had a key or not, they wouldn’t be able to come down now.

Tossing the rooftop key nonchalantly into a nearby trash bin, Xiao Yi leisurely made his way towards the classroom. Today, he had finally taught Gao Junjie and his two mates a little lesson. Thinking that they might still be clueless about what had happened, he felt an oppression that had loomed over him since morning instantly lift. An indescribable ease washed over him, and he even found himself humming a tune for once.

Ancient wisdom often says, "After hardship comes ease, but too much joy leads to sorrow."

Indeed, the ancients were very reliable in their words. Xiao Yi was strolling along contentedly when suddenly a chilling sensation confronted him head-on.

Without a moment’s thought, Xiao Yi’s body jerked backward violently. A white shadow almost grazed his face, and as he watched, a pale yellow liquid dangled perilously, threatening to drip down. So startled was Xiao Yi that a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a dark line of consternation instantly appeared there. Fortunately, the droplet remained suspended throughout its flight past him, never falling. Otherwise, he imagined he might have been driven to thoughts of jumping off a building.

"Huh?"

Barely avoiding disaster, Xiao Yi wiped the cold sweat from his brow and anger welled up inside him. Bloody hell, which jerk had attacked him with a snot-filled tissue? Had everyone lost their sense of public decency?

But as his gaze moved toward the direction from which the attack had come, he saw a sweet girl with her hair in a ponytail, dressed in a cute ensemble of a white dress, white socks, and white shoes, projecting an intense Lolita style. She was looking at him with an equally surprised expression.

"Do you know me?"

Xiao Yi looked at the sweet and adorable beauty with some confusion.

"No, I don’t know you. Big brother, your move just now was so cool, I thought you wouldn’t be able to dodge in time. I was praying for you, and I didn’t expect my prayers to actually work. Which year are you in?" she asked, rattling off rapidly with her large, adorable eyes fixed on him.

"Um..."

Xiao Yi looked at the sweet girl with a puzzled expression. If they didn’t know each other, why the overreaction? She was shaking her head so fiercely; wasn’t she scared of spraining her neck? Besides, the way she was speaking was rather awkward. Was it his agility or her prayers that had saved him? Nevertheless, he had a rather good impression of the sweet, cute girl and patiently answered, "I’m a freshman."

"Wow, you’re a freshman too, in the same year as me! Handsome guy, which department and class are you in?"

The sweet and adorable beauty shrieked in excitement, her beautiful eyes brimming with exhilaration, as the address she used for him switched from the three-character ’big brother’ to the two-character ’handsome guy.’

"Um... I’m in Applied Mathematics Class One."

Xiao Yi was somewhat overwhelmed by the girl’s exuberant behavior.

"Wow, handsome guy, you’re in Applied Mathematics too, yay, we’re in the neighboring class!"

The beautiful girl jumped up excitedly again.

"Uh..."

Xiao Yi had not expected this cute girl to also be from the Applied Mathematics major and was also quite surprised.

"Yay, handsome, what’s your name?"

The beautiful girl seemed very excited to meet Xiao Yi, batting her big eyes and looking at Xiao Yi with a face full of anticipation.

"My name is Xiao Yi."

Facing the beautiful girl’s somewhat excessive enthusiasm, Xiao Yi had already forgotten about the incident where he almost got a face full of snot, and looking at the girl’s hopeful eyes, he said somewhat bashfully.

"Xiao Yi, that’s a nice-sounding name, I’m so happy to meet you, Brother Xiao. The bell for class has rung, I’m going now, I don’t like attending that annoying old man’s Ideology and Morality class, hehe."

The sweet and cute girl repeated Xiao Yi’s name, her eyes flickering with an unnoticed cunning. She glanced at the stopwatch on her wrist, gave Xiao Yi a mischievous smile, and then turned around and dashed down the stairs like the wind, leaving behind only her bell-like laughter and a faint fragrance in the corridor. This left Xiao Yi, who was just about to ask for her name, feeling a bit frustrated. But he had no more inclination to ask, because, just as the beautiful girl had said, the bell for class had rung, and his books were still in the classroom. He couldn’t afford to skip class like her.

As Xiao Yi walked towards the classroom, he felt a bit perplexed. He remembered that when he arrived, he had not seen this cute beautiful girl in the classroom.

When Xiao Yi returned to the classroom unscathed, everyone in the room was shocked.

The look in everyone’s eyes was one of astonishment, for Xiao Yi was the first person to come back without a scratch after being taken out by Gao Junjie and the other three bullies of the School of Mathematics.

Sitting in a corner with an undisturbed face, Zhao Yuhua’s indifferent expression also showed a moment of astonishment and surprise when Xiao Yi stepped into the classroom, and her beautiful eyes revealed a contemplative look.

Xiao Yi was puzzled and wondered why they were looking at him with such strange eyes. He even thought there was something wrong with his clothes and checked himself, making sure there was no wardrobe malfunction like an unzipped fly before he walked confidently into the classroom and returned to his seat.

As soon as Xiao Yi sat down at his seat, he glanced sidelong at Fatty Tang still drooling on the desk beside him, snoring like thunder, and closed his eyes to rest again.

Meanwhile, in the corridor where Xiao Yi had been before, the sweet and cute girl talked to herself, "Hehe, this guy is pretty easy to fool. Just like that, and I’ve got him wrapped around my finger. Hehe, but I really didn’t expect that, this guy, he’s got quick reflexes. He dodged so close, no wonder he dared to make fun of that idiot Gao Junjie this morning."

After a while, she relaxed her grip and showed a devilish, cunning smile on her face.

"Hmph, Xiao Yi, so he’s in Applied Mathematics Class One, huh? Looks like I’ll be coming to class more often from now on. He’s an interesting guy, alright. If I can make this guy into a fan of this genius and use him to bully idiots like Gao Junjie, it would be so much fun. And, by the way, I’ll tick off that conceited woman, Zhao Yuhua. Hmph, what’s so great about having a dumb lackey? Hmph, this genius will have this guy named Xiao Yi play those idiots to death and infuriate her. Yes, that’s what I’ll do."

The more the sweet and cute girl thought about it, the more excited she became. Her gaze grew increasingly fervent, and she clenched her small fists tightly, as if she could already see Xiao Yi tormenting Gao Junjie and his group in very miserable scenes before her eyes.
