Chapter 59: Chapters 59-60 Gao Junjie’s Hatred

"What did I just say? Fatty Tang, are you okay?"

Xiao Yi was startled by Fatty Tang’s look and unconsciously moved a few steps away, speaking cautiously.

"Boss, did you just say, starting today, I’m your man? Is that true?"

Fatty Tang was utterly oblivious to Xiao Yi’s expression and excitedly reached for his arm.

"Hold on, Fatty Tang, don’t come any closer, or I’ll kick you out. I only said that to warn them not to pick on you later!"

"Right, boss, how did you magically figure out I was in trouble and come to rescue me?"

After declaring his grand ambition, Fatty Tang finally remembered to ask that question.

"I just happened to be passing by. You’re not in any trouble, right? If not, stop rambling and let’s go, class is about to start."

Xiao Yi was speechless again for a moment. What magical predictions—such flattery was embarrassingly low-level. Could there really be such thing as magical calculations in this world? But he was too lazy to say anything more about it. Originally, he had plenty of time, but now, after all the fuss, time had become tight.

Having said that, he stopped bothering with Fatty Tang, who seemed fine anyway, and quickly headed towards the classroom building.

"Boss, wait for me!"

Seeing Xiao Yi leaving, Fatty Tang quickly picked up his textbook that had fallen on the ground, shouted, and hurriedly followed.

The two arrived in the classroom just as the bell rang. As soon as they entered, Xiao Yi saw Zeng Xiaoxiao waving a book frantically from a corner spot, as if afraid he wouldn’t see her, and she yelled loudly, "Brother Xiao, over here, over here!"

This caused all the eyes in the entire classroom to suddenly focus on him.

Xiao Yi had intended to pretend he didn’t see her and find another spot to sit, but now he had no choice but to walk over to her.

"Boss, take care of yourself, I won’t come over!"

When Fatty Tang heard Zeng Xiaoxiao’s cute voice, a look of utter sympathy appeared on his face as he glanced at Xiao Yi and quickly found an empty seat nearby to sit down.

"Brother Xiao, why are you so late? You almost missed class. I thought you weren’t coming. Oh, and why didn’t you come last Friday afternoon? I waited for you all afternoon."

As soon as Xiao Yi sat down, Zeng Xiaoxiao enthusiastically grabbed his hand and began to inquire.

"Well, I was a bit busy last Friday afternoon, so I didn’t come."

Xiao Yi couldn’t just say he didn’t come because he was avoiding her, so he hastily made up an excuse.

"Brother Xiao, after class can we go and see him again, to see if he’ll still be possessed?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled excitingly as she spoke while holding Xiao Yi’s hand.

"Uh... Xiaoxiao, sorry, I have something else to do after class, so I’m afraid I can’t go with you."

The instant Xiao Yi heard Zeng Xiaoxiao’s words, he was startled and quickly responded.

Coming again? While he didn’t mind offending that surnamed Li again, he definitely didn’t want to recklessly follow the troublesome Zeng Xiaoxiao around again.

"Oh, I see, Brother Xiao, what are you going to do after class? Can I come with you?"

Fortunately, Zeng Xiaoxiao did not insist any further, showing just a hint of disappointment. But then she quickly became curious about what Xiao Yi mentioned.

"This..."

Xiao Yi was a bit troubled; all he had wanted was an excuse to refuse Zeng Xiaoxiao’s invitation, he didn’t actually have anything else to do.

"What’s wrong, Brother Xiao, can’t I come with you?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao asked somewhat strangely.

"No, it’s just that, Xiaoxiao, I’m going to the library to read. Are you interested?"

Xiao Yi looked into Zeng Xiaoxiao’s lively eyes and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, prompting him to blurt out.

With nothing else to do, visiting the library to read some books wouldn’t be too bad. Given Zeng Xiaoxiao’s active nature, she probably wouldn’t like the library. It’s unlikely she could stay put there—everyone there is quietly reading books. Thinking this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but silently praise himself. He was just too clever.

"Oh, the library? I’m not going, Brother Xiao. Why do you always think of going to the library when there’s nothing to do?"

As expected, as soon as Zeng Xiaoxiao heard Xiao Yi mention going to the library, the enthusiasm on her face instantly vanished, and she spoke somewhat gloomily.

"It’s for studying, of course. Xiaoxiao, Brother Xiao isn’t as smart as you. I really need to study hard. Um, here comes the teacher. Let’s focus on the class now. We can talk after class if there’s anything else," he said.

Xiao Yi saw the expression on Zeng Xiaoxiao’s face and felt joy in his heart, but his face remained serious as he spoke. Watching the teacher who had now reached the podium, he sat upright, a perfect model student, yet he failed to notice the sly glint that crossed the corner of Zeng Xiaoxiao’s eye.

Hum, he pretends to have a reason, but he just wants to use the library to fob me off.

Does he think he can easily deceive a genius like me?

Zeng Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi, sitting upright and listening intently, her lips curling into a captivating smile, her dimples appearing so sweet that anyone would be tempted to take a bite. However, the math teacher who had just walked up to the podium, along with a few boys beside her, caught a glimpse of Zeng Xiaoxiao’s demeanor and shivered violently.

Gao Junjie watched Xiao Yi, who was sitting next to Zeng Xiaoxiao, his eyes filled with a deep resentment.

Thinking back on what had just happened made his heart feel as if it were being scraped by a knife. Although he knew no one had seen, and his gang wouldn’t speak against him, his face still felt burning hot. In his whole life, he had always been the one to threaten others, to make them flee at the sight of him. But today, he had been threatened, and because of that person’s words, he hadn’t dared let out a peep and had fled!

Xiao Yi, you hillbilly, if I don’t make you regret coming into this world, I won’t carry the Gao surname!

Gao Junjie clenched his fists in anger.

"Young Master Gao, that Xiao hillbilly seems to have a pretty good relationship with Zeng Xiaoxiao,"

Li Han, sitting next to him had been watching Xiao Yi closely. Gao Junjie hated Xiao Yi, but Li Han hated him even more. While hating, he also had a hint of fear; after two encounters, his feet still ached unbearably. He now had some psychological shadow and dared not kick anyone anymore.

His gaze hadn’t left Xiao Yi since he entered, seeing him and Zeng Xiaoxiao seemingly having a great time, he couldn’t help but look worriedly at Gao Junjie next to him.

In his opinion, their usual method of using direct fists was already ineffective against Xiao Yi. From their recent encounters, the strength Xiao Yi showed meant that even all four of them together likely wouldn’t be his match. The only way they could deal with this hillbilly Xiao Yi was through behind-the-scenes power, like making him fail his exams or even forcing him out of Z University to return to a peaceful world.

But if he got too close to Zeng Xiaoxiao, that would be troublesome. Although they appeared very influential and unapproachable by the rest of the students, and even Z University’s teachers had to treat them respectfully, he was very clear that in front of Zeng Xiaoxiao, they were nothing!

The Zeng family was, so far, an untouchable existence for them, definitely not within reach of their current family status!

"Hmph, what a load of crap. It’s only because that Xiao hillbilly has just appeared. It’s just curiosity from that crazy Zeng girl! You know what kind of lunatic she is, don’t you?"

Gao Junjie scoffed disdainfully, "Do you really think, just because of that hillbilly Xiao, that he’d qualify to be friends with Zeng?"

"Besides, didn’t Zhao Hu check yesterday? This Xiao just arrived here. His background is worlds apart from Zeng’s; it’s impossible for them to have any intersection. So far, they’ve only known each other for two or three days—what kind of relationship could they possibly have?"

"You’re right, I was overthinking it."

Upon hearing Gao Junjie’s words, Li Han also thought it through. Zeng Xiaoxiao’s crazy and infuriating personality likely made her see Xiao as merely a toy for amusement, not truly considering him as a friend or planning to do anything for him.

"Hmph, if that Xiao knows his place and shows some self-awareness, that’s fine, but if he really dares have any ideas about Zeng Xiaoxiao, hmph."

Gao Junjie snorted coldly, his eyes glancing at Xiao Yi, who sat upright, listening attentively, his gaze turning icy.

"You’re right, Young Master Gao. If that were the case, the Zeng family certainly would not allow it. They definitely wouldn’t let him mess around. What do you say, should we..."

Li Han’s eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing Gao Junjie’s words.

"Let’s not meddle too much for now. After all, there’s still no firm evidence, nor is there any concrete proof. Besides, that crazy Zeng girl is still in high spirits; there’s no need to needlessly provoke her."

Gao Junjie’s eyes flickered with temptation, but he quickly suppressed the tempting thought and shook his head. Unless absolutely necessary, he still did not wish to offend Zeng Xiaoxiao, the Little Witch.

"That’s true, Young Master Gao. Have you made any progress with Sister Hua?"

Li Han, recalling the terrifying consequences when Zeng Xiaoxiao went crazy, involuntarily shuddered internally and quickly abandoned his previous thoughts, turning his gaze to Zhao Yuhua, who looked so ethereal and indifferent as if a celestial being untouched by the mundane world, and looked at Gao Junjie.
