Chapter 60: Chapter 61 Relaxation

(Thanks to Sister Xizhu for becoming the first disciple of this novel, thank you, and continue to add one more Chapter today!) ————————————

"It’s still the same, no progress."

When Li Han mentioned Zhao Yuhua, Gao Junjie’s gaze also glanced at Zhao Yuhua next to him, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes, but immediately after, he let out a wry smile.

Though on the first day of school, upon seeing her, he had publicly declared that she was the object of his affection and voluntarily took on the role of a knight in shining armor, driving away every brave fly who attempted to court Zhao Yuhua. By doing so, he established the authority of Young Master Gao and The Four Big Bullies in their domain of the School of Mathematics, securing their position as the overlords. And Zhao Yuhua had never voiced opposition to their protective actions, such as saving seats or taking on the role of bodyguards, she also never objected to them, leading countless students in the School of Mathematics to secretly speculate about the extent of their relationship.

But in reality, Gao Junjie himself knew that he had absolutely no relationship with Zhao Yuhua, no progress at all. Zhao Yuhua hadn’t even spoken to him; after class, once she went home, she completely lost contact with him. To Zhao Yuhua, he was no different from any other person.

At first, he thought that Zhao Yuhua had some interest in him, otherwise why wouldn’t she reject those friendly gestures of his? His friends, or rather, his lackeys, thought the same and believed that perseverance would eventually win her over. So he started his brave pursuit, sending her messages, calling her, but despite countless messages, she never replied, and despite countless calls, she directly refused to answer. Even now, his number was already on her blacklist; he couldn’t get through at all.

He would send flowers, but she never accepted them. Each time she would direct him to place them beside the trash can, which usually was the only thing she said to him in a day.

Now, his heart was beginning to fill with a sense of hopelessness. To think of Gao Junjie, ever since middle school, always galivanting among the flowers, hasn’t he always got what he wanted effortlessly? When has he ever been given the cold shoulder like this?

"Young Master Gao, it’s nothing. Sister Hua is a girl from the Zhao Family and she’s such an unparalleled beauty, it’s normal for her to be hard to pursue. Just think, if you managed to get her, the benefits would be..."

Seeing Gao Junjie looking a bit despondent, Li Han felt a mix of sympathy and helplessness. They had all witnessed Gao Junjie’s pursuit of Zhao Yuhua and had even come up with numerous clever strategies for picking up girls, but none of them worked. Nevertheless, he patiently tried to reason with him.

Though Zhao Yuhua’s beauty made him drool, he was aware that she was out of his league. Their best chance lay with their leader Gao Junjie, who was well-rounded in various aspects. If Gao Junjie managed to win over Zhao Yuhua and climbed the high branch of the Zhao Family, they would all ride the tide of his success and reap boundless benefits.

"That’s right, don’t worry, I won’t give up that easily, hmph, I refuse to believe that there’s a woman I, Gao Junjie, can’t win over."

After hearing Li Han’s words, Gao Junjie’s spirit was rekindled from its prior dejection as he looked again at Zhao Yuhua beside him, his gaze filled with renewed zeal.

Li Han was right, I can’t give up on such a beautiful woman, not to mention, even if she were a bland and ugly girl, I absolutely couldn’t give up on her. Once I get her, I, Gao Junjie, will become part of the Zhao Family. By then, I will not only soar to new heights, but the Gao Family’s status will also rise with the tide, hmph, what will the Zeng Family count for then? Will I still need to fear Zeng Xiaoxiao, that little girl!

Compared to the vast benefits, what’s a little hardship now!

At that moment, a fierce determination ignited in Gao Junjie’s heart.

Because of Zeng Xiaoxiao’s smile, the forty-five-minute class was taught by the calculus teacher with trepidation. Finally, when the bell rang, he eagerly announced, "Class dismissed," and then quickly left the classroom. Out of all the stratagems, retreat is the best. He couldn’t afford to provoke that girl— should she come up with another strange problem to publicly challenge him, he would lose all face. Worse, he could end up losing the professorship he had just been awarded.

Xiao Yi watched the teacher rush away, not even finishing the half-completed problem on the board, and couldn’t help but silently praise him, "Teachers at Z University surely have high standards, ending class right at the bell, without ever letting it interfere with the students’ time."

He had just finished admiring the teacher when he heard the joyful cheer of Zeng Xiaoxiao from beside him, "Brother Xiao, class is over!"

"Yeah, class is over. If you need to use the restroom, go ahead, or you can go outside and relax," Xiao Yi nodded.

"Brother Xiao, you should relax too. You were listening so attentively just now."

Zeng Xiaoxiao blinked earnestly and said.

"I don’t need to, I’m not tired."

Xiao Yi was slightly startled, then smiled somewhat touched, surprised that Zeng Xiaoxiao would be concerned about whether he was tired.

"You need to, the teacher said to relax in moderation. You’ve been listening attentively for a whole class; you definitely need to unwind now so you can keep listening attentively later. Wait for me."

After saying this earnestly, Zeng Xiaoxiao stood up, waved to Gao Junjie and his three friends who were about to head out for a smoke and to relieve their bladders, "Hey, Four Idiots, come here quickly."

Gao Junjie and his friends were just about to leave when they saw Zeng Xiaoxiao signaling them. They paused in surprise, and upon hearing her shout, all four of their faces instantly froze.

The Four Idiots was a nickname she blurted out the day they got kicked by Xiao Yi, and they didn’t take it seriously at the time. They thought it was just a casual remark, but now she was calling them that again.

Feeling the sudden surge of glances from around them, Gao Junjie’s face turned from green to white, while the other three were equally embarrassed. Not knowing whether to respond or not, they all looked towards Gao Junjie.

"Hey, Four Idiots, what are you dazing out for? I’m calling you over," Zeng Xiaoxiao said, visibly displeased with their dawdling and repeated her summons.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, may I ask what you need?"

Gao Junjie looked up at Zeng Xiaoxiao’s cute face showing signs of displeasure. A flash of resentment flickered in his eyes, he clenched his fists tight, took a deep breath, then quickly walked up to her with a humbly eager smile on his face.

Seeing Gao Junjie approach her, the other three hurriedly followed suit.

Xiao Yi, hearing Gao Junjie’s words, also looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao with some curiosity, wondering why she had suddenly called Gao Junjie and the others over.
