Chapter 39: Chapter 38: The Genius Beautiful Girl

Xiao Yi watched Fatty Tang acting bafflingly as if he had seen a ghost, walking towards a seat at the very front of the class, and couldn’t help but feel astonished.

What was Fatty Tang trying to pull?

Could it be that the skinny ghost called Li Han had scared him senseless with that missed kick just now?

Or had his own behavior just now excessively stimulated Fatty Tang, causing him mental distress?

No sooner had he tried to figure it out than the teacher appeared on the podium in front. When the teacher saw the beautiful girl sitting next to Xiao Yi, his lips twitched uncontrollably, and then he hastily diverted his gaze to the side.

But when he turned his gaze to the other side, his expression stiffened again. There, led by Gao Junjie, the Four Young Evil Masters were rubbing their backs one by one, moaning non-stop, looking as if they were in pain, with one or two even sporting traces of blood at the corners of their mouths.

It didn’t surprise him that they had fought, but the way they looked, why did it seem like they had been beaten up?

With great perplexity in his heart, the English teacher began the lesson.

"Brother Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

The beautiful girl, completely oblivious to the fact that a class was taking place, turned her head, rested on her hands, and with her cute large eyes fluttering, gazed at Xiao Yi.

"Nothing much, by the way, I don’t even know your name yet."

Xiao Yi came to his senses, smiled briefly, and then remembered that he still didn’t know the girl’s name, so he asked.

"Brother Xiao, you don’t know my name yet?"

The beautiful girl seemed surprisingly astonished as she looked at Xiao Yi.

"No, haven’t you never told me?"

Xiao Yi looked at the surprised expression on the beautiful girl’s face with some confusion, carefully and hesitantly replied.

"That’s right, but I thought... you already knew, hee hee, I’m Zeng Xiaoxiao, Brother Xiao, you have to remember that, okay?"

The beautiful girl, seeing Xiao Yi’s expression, a sly twinkle flickered in the depth of her eyes, and she giggled.

"What?"

Upon hearing the beautiful girl’s words, Xiao Yi almost went headfirst onto the desk with a thump.

She was the rumored other beauty?

But looking at her, she indeed qualified as a beauty, though she lacked Zhao Yuhua’s stunningly aloof charm, she possessed a different style of cute beauty, and her exquisite figure and facial features were by no means inferior to Zhao Yuhua’s.

"Hee hee, Brother Xiao, what’s wrong? Have you heard of my name before?"

The beautiful girl widened her eyes, curiously watching Xiao Yi.

"Uh... that, I think I have heard it before."

Xiao Yi regained his composure, finally understanding why Fatty Tang had given up his seat so mysteriously and generously before,

The adorable beauty before him was actually Zeng Xiaoxiao, the number two beauty he had mentioned, who would send shivers down his spine just by mentioning her name. So, it was indeed quite normal for Gao Junjie to yield his seat upon seeing her in person.

However, now that he knew this sweet and cute girl before him was Zeng Xiaoxiao, Xiao Yi became even more puzzled. Zeng Xiaoxiao didn’t seem to be any terrifying figure at all; she appeared quite innocent and adorable. At least, he found her a lot more charming than the cold Zhao Yuhua. Why did Fatty Tang act as if he was so afraid of her, like he had seen a ghost?

"Really? Brother Xiao, did you hear someone speaking ill of me?"

The beautiful girl showed a hint of surprise, which then quickly turned to a look of dejection.

"Uh... no, not really."

Xiao Yi quickly shook his head.

When Fatty Tang spoke of her, he only warned Xiao Yi to stay away from her, but strictly speaking, he never said anything bad about her.

"I don’t believe it. Your expression just now has already told me everything. But Brother Xiao, I still really appreciate you trying to comfort me. Actually, I know that many classmates have some misunderstandings about me, thinking I’m not a good student. But really, they’ve got it all wrong. I just find some classes boring, and that’s why I skip them, maybe even look for some little fun when I do attend. However, Brother Xiao, in the future, I will definitely come to class every day and be a good student!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao frowned with a bit of grievance, resembling a wronged child as she spoke. Then she fixed her large eyes on Xiao Yi, sincerely speaking her mind.

"Mmm, I believe you."

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxiao’s aggrieved expression, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a surge of sympathy. The thought of a somewhat naive and cute child, being labeled as a bad kid for not liking classes, shunned by fellow students, and even viewed as a devil by a group of studious ones, struck him. Alone under the silent night sky, counting stars in solitude, his compassion overflowed. Originally finding her constant reference to him as "Brother Xiao" somewhat awkward, he no longer felt that way, thinking he shouldn’t have taken Fatty Tang’s words at face value and isolated her. He felt that he should be her "Big Brother Xiao," a friend, to protect and accompany her.

"That’s wonderful, Brother Xiao. I knew you were a good person!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao, feeling elated inside, gazed at Xiao Yi with gratitude in her eyes, reflecting the genuine trust there.

"Uh..."

Upon hearing Zeng Xiaoxiao’s words, Xiao Yi internally broke into a sweat—his life’s first "nice guy" card had just been issued to him.

"Brother Xiao, are you alright? Is it hot in here? Why are you sweating?"

"Uh... no, it’s nothing. By the way, Xiaoxiao, isn’t it class time right now? Shouldn’t you be listening to the lesson?"

Xiao Yi wiped away a bead of sweat.

"No need, the teacher’s lecture is too simple, not interesting at all."

"What?..."

As Zeng Xiaoxiao finally paused, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but stare at her again, with widened eyes. This young girl had mentioned more than once how boring she found class, and he had thought she meant that she couldn’t understand the lectures, or that they were uninteresting, or perhaps that the university professors’ teaching methods were dull. But apparently, that wasn’t what she meant. She found the classes boring because she thought the lessons were too simple?

"Big Brother Xiao, don’t you doubt it—I’m the universe’s undefeated super-genius beauty. I’ve already completed the entire university curriculum three years ago! If you don’t believe me, you can test me with any question from the textbooks to see if I know!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao declared, somewhat smugly, as she observed Xiao Yi’s astonished look.

"Wow, I had no idea you were so amazing, Xiaoxiao."

Of course, Xiao Yi wouldn’t actually put Zeng Xiaoxiao to the test; he didn’t suspect that Zeng Xiaoxiao was deceiving him. After all, there wasn’t much point in lying about something like that, and by the looks of it, she didn’t seem like she was lying. He was utterly surprised to find that such a lovely and beautiful girl was also a genius. Without her saying so, he never would have guessed, and he couldn’t help but reveal a look of admiration, expressing his genuine appreciation.
