"Speak up, what’s the matter? What’s with all the chatter today?"

Xiao Yi couldn’t hold back anymore and stopped in his tracks, glaring at Fatty Tang.

"Um, boss, my parents found out about Li Ling, and they disapprove of me dating her. I was hoping you could help me think of a solution."

A pained and troubled expression appeared on Fatty Tang’s face.

"Your parents found out about Li Ling?"

A look of utter surprise crossed Xiao Yi’s face.

"Yeah, you know, I’ve been helping out at Li Ling’s place a lot recently and have been skipping a lot of classes. One time, for some reason, my dad wanted to check on me and... he didn’t find me. After asking a few people, they spilled the beans about me. My dad pressured me, and when I thought about it, I knew I had to tell him sooner or later. So, I told him the truth! But I didn’t expect them to be so unreasonable!"

Fatty Tang explained the situation to Xiao Yi, his face filled with urgency, "Boss, I have no choice but to turn to you for help now. What do I do? The old man is already starting to financially cut me off."

"Err... don’t panic yet, getting anxious won’t help right now. Look, we can’t sort this out in a short while and class is about to start. Wait for me after class, and we’ll talk this over properly."

Xiao Yi reassured Fatty Tang in a soft voice after seeing the anxious look on his face and glancing at the hurried figures walking ahead.

"Alright, boss, I’m counting on you."

Fatty Tang looked at Xiao Yi with hope in his eyes.

Seeing Fatty Tang’s expression, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but wryly smile to himself. Fatty Tang was really holding him in high regard, treating him like an all-capable superhero. What was that supposed to mean, counting on him? It’s not like he definitely had a way to handle this kind of situation.

But seeing the pitiful look on Fatty Tang’s face, he couldn’t bring himself to let him down.

Just as Xiao Yi and Fatty Tang arrived at the classroom, the bell rang for class to start. Xiao Yi glanced at his usual corner and was startled for a moment. Zeng Xiaoxiao was sitting there already, but unlike usual, she wasn’t looking at him with enthusiasm and joy. Instead, she had a cold expression, pouting, as if she hadn’t seen him enter at all.

Without time to think, Xiao Yi heard the teacher’s footsteps entering the room and quickly sped up his pace to his seat. He caught a glimpse of an unusual look from Zhao Yuhua next to him and responded with a faint smile and a nod.

"Little miss, what’s wrong so early in the morning? Got a black cloud over your head? Did someone make you angry?"

Normally, Xiao Yi couldn’t wait for Zeng Xiaoxiao to quiet down, but now, seeing her like this felt incredibly awkward. After sitting down, he placed his bag on the desk, glanced at the teacher at the podium with an embarrassed look, and turned cautiously to Zeng Xiaoxiao.

"Hmph."

Zeng Xiaoxiao snorted softly and turned her head away to look at something else.

"Ahem."

Xiao Yi, seeing her demeanor, had an embarrassed look on his face, touched his nose, and after a while coughed before saying quietly, "Little miss, I’ve barely made it back and this is how you are? Aren’t you happy to see me return? Tell me who’s upset you, and I’ll teach them a lesson for you."

"Fine, then you should start by giving yourself a good talking-to."

Zeng Xiaoxiao finally turned her head back around, swelling with anger, her chubby cheeks puffed out, and her big eyes staring at him as she pointedly spoke.

While he was talking, Xiao Yi had been keeping his voice down to a whisper, but when she turned back to respond, she didn’t hold anything back. Her voice was clear and loud, and in a classroom that was utterly silent except for the teacher’s lecturing, it was painfully piercing.

With a snap, the entire classroom went completely quiet, and everyone’s gaze shifted towards Xiao Yi’s direction. The teacher also stopped lecturing and looked towards Xiao Yi and Zeng Xiaoxiao.

Fatty Tang also turned around and upon understanding the situation, gave Xiao Yi a pitiful and sympathetic look.

"Ahem..."

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected Zeng Xiaoxiao to react so dramatically. Feeling the diverse gazes from everyone, his eyes blanked out in shock. After a moment, looking at Zeng Xiaoxiao, who seemed completely unaware of the others’ stares, he flashed an awfully awkward look and said to the teacher and classmates, "Sorry about that, it’s nothing, let’s continue with the class."

After speaking, he quickly grabbed Zeng Xiaoxiao’s hand, bent down, and whispered to her, "Are you crazy, little miss? Don’t you know we’re in the middle of class? Speak more softly, don’t disturb everyone!"

The students in the classroom looked at the two of them with strange looks in their eyes, then turned their heads back and resumed reading their books. This boy and girl had become taboo in the class - the boy, a violent king, and the girl, a demon head. Even the Four Young Evil Masters like Gao Junjie didn’t stand a chance against them, without any tempers left. Nobody there wanted to provoke these two people.

The teacher glanced thoughtfully at Zeng Xiaoxiao and resumed the lesson.

"Who told you to make me angry!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao pouted, glaring angrily at Xiao Yi, but this time, her voice was much softer and hardly disturbed the teacher’s lecture.

"Hey kiddo, what have I done to make you mad? You’ve got to tell me clearly."

Xiao Yi looked at the expression on Zeng Xiaoxiao’s face and couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

He really didn’t understand what he had done wrong to upset her. Heaven and earth as his witness, he hadn’t seen her since he got injured, and now this was actually their first encounter, so how could he have had the chance to make her angry?

"Still playing dumb? Last time you went to a fun place alone, that was not cool!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao glared at Xiao Yi, grinding her teeth as she said, "That’s one thing, but you even dared to hang up on me yesterday. You’re simply the most hateful person!"

"Didn’t I tell you I would come explain it to you today?"

Hearing that Zeng Xiaoxiao was actually mad about this, he couldn’t help but explain with a tearful laugh.

"I hadn’t given you permission yet, and you just hung up on me!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao pouted, "Does that count as telling me? Anyway, I’m very mad right now!"

"Alright... so, tell me, what do I need to do to make you feel better?"

Xiao Yi looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao helplessly, feeling a bitter smile in his heart. He knew that he would have to sweeten her up a bit today, or else he wouldn’t be able to get off the hook. He just silently prayed that this little girl wouldn’t make too excessive a demand.

"Unless you agree to one thing for me! Otherwise, I’ll ignore you from now on!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao glared at Xiao Yi.

"Go ahead, as long as it’s not too excessive, I can consider it."

Xiao Yi hesitated, murmuring his response.

"It’s not about considering, you must agree. How can you be like this? Do you want to make up or not? If not, just forget it. Starting today, I’m giving you the silent treatment!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao turned her head away with her mouth in a pout.

"......"

Listening to the words spilling from the kiddo’s mouth, Xiao Yi immediately felt a headache coming on with rows of dark lines forming on his forehead. Making up, silent treatment... what kind of vocabulary was this? Did this have anything to do with him? What in the world was going on in this girl’s mind...?

Seeing the look of grievance and gloom as she turned her head away, he resignedly lowered his head, "Alright, I’ll agree to it. Just tell me, what is it?"

"You said it, no backing out!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao immediately turned her head around, her big eyes beginning to shimmer brightly.

"I... alright, no backing out."

Xiao Yi had a sinking feeling of foreboding, but seeing her large eyes, and thinking about his own promise just now, he couldn’t go back on his word now. He gritted his teeth and braced himself.

"Alright, you said it, no backing out. This weekend, let’s go out for a picnic together!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao’s face lit up with the change from cloudy to sunny, looking triumphantly at Xiao Yi.

"A picnic?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback, thinking he must have heard wrong. After all that serious airs just for this small matter? His heart had nearly leapt out of his chest, and all she was talking about was this?

"That’s right, you’re not thinking of reneging, are you?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao, seeing Xiao Yi’s expression, instantly became tense again and stared at him fixedly.

"No, of course not, my word is my bond. But, I have to tell you, I might not be free on Saturday. We’ll have to go on Sunday."

Xiao Yi, watching Zeng Xiaoxiao’s expression, quickly waved his hand and explained. On Saturday he had already promised to go to Wang Qingqing’s uncle’s house for dinner. After finishing, afraid that Zeng Xiaoxiao might raise another issue or change her mind, he quickly lowered his voice and softly said to her, "Going on Sunday shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"We can only go on Sunday? Fine, Sunday it is then."

Zeng Xiaoxiao hesitated with a slight look of dismay, but then looking at Xiao Yi’s expression, she forthrightly agreed, "But on Sunday, you better be early. Don’t you dare be late!"

"I promise, I absolutely won’t be late!"

Hearing Zeng Xiaoxiao’s words, Xiao Yi finally let go of the anxiety in his heart, nodding vigorously in agreement. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
