Chapter 622: Not good!

With a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth, forming a charming curve, Li Zheng Yi walked toward Zhao Yuhua, his gaze gradually becoming more and more affectionate.

Everyone’s eyes naturally followed him and then turned to Zhao Yuhua, each person eager to see what would happen between them, to see if she would accept his confession.

"Miss Zhao, I know that my presence today may be somewhat presumptuous, but I truly cannot control myself. I really, really like you. My steps involuntarily draw me closer to you..."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Zheng Yi approached Zhao Yuhua with deep affection, gazing at her suggestively as if she were the only person in his world, as if she were his entire world. After a long, touching speech, he suddenly knelt on one knee and extended the bouquet of flowers toward Zhao Yuhua, "Miss Zhao, please give me a chance, will you?"

"Wow, how romantic!"

"It’s really moving. Oh, if someone were to propose to me like that romantically, I’d die happy!"

"..."

Watching Li Zheng Yi kneeling before Zhao Yuhua, holding the bouquet, even the typically stoic female science students in the classroom couldn’t help but moisten their eyes, with some even starting to cry openly.

Many of Li Zheng Yi’s fans wanted to shout encouragements like "Say yes to him," to cheer for Li Zheng Yi, but when their gaze fell on the indifferent expression on Zhao Yuhua’s face, they swallowed those cheers.

Zhao Yuhua was not just any girl. To put it bluntly, the students were more terrified of her and Zeng Xiaoxiao than of any teacher or even Xiao Yi, who was known for being violent. No need to mention Zeng Xiaoxiao, she was simply a witch, and although Zhao Yuhua seemed distant, it never diminished her authority among them.

Ever since the incident with the Four Young Evil Masters, the fact that Zhao Yuhua was Miss Zhao had largely ceased to be a secret. What was the Zhao Family? If they just frowned, these ordinary students would pack up and leave University Z immediately, no questions asked. They could even make them disappear from the world if they wished.

So, all their slogans died in their hearts, silently, fervently cheering for Li Zheng Yi in their thoughts.

Fatty Tang was completely dumbfounded, his eyes blankly staring at Li Zheng Yi kneeling in front of Zhao Yuhua, unable to comprehend the situation. He had never imagined that his idol, whom he had always admired, had fallen for Zhao Yuhua, and was confessing his feelings right in front of her!

It took a while, but just as Li Zheng Yi finished his touching speech and offered the flowers, Fatty Tang snapped out of his reverie, his face no longer showing admiration and excitement, replaced by boundless anger.

Who was Zhao Yuhua?

Although Xiao Yi was always reluctant to admit it, in Fatty Tang’s eyes it was clear as day. Even if Xiao Yi and Zhao Yuhua weren’t clearly a couple yet, it was only a matter of time. Hadn’t Xiao Yi just been gazing at her tenderly? Didn’t he see their frequent exchanges of meaningful glances and secretive gestures?

To him, the only person in the world who was worthy of Zhao Yuhua was his boss Xiao Yi.

He previously thought Xiao Yi was just some ordinary country boy, and he somewhat felt that, although Xiao Yi was outstanding, there was a gap between him and Zhao Yuhua in terms of background and family. However, ever since he found out that Xiao Yi not only knew Chen Jianguo but also had a deep connection with him, all his doubts were dispelled. No matter how he looked at it, from any angle, Xiao Yi and Zhao Yuhua seemed perfectly matched, the most important thing being, he felt their personalities also matched well, and clearly, they were quite taken with each other!

The last point was the most crucial. With that realization, everything else became inconsequential, something Xiao Yi had helped him realize gradually. He and Li Ling initially felt there was a gap in status, but now, they were together, happier and more contented than ever.

But now...

This Li Zheng Yi, was he trying to steal his beloved right in front of Xiao Yi? This was preposterous!

Although he admired Li Zheng Yi and liked him, it was just appreciation. To him, Li Zheng Yi meant nothing personally, but Xiao Yi was different. Throughout their time together, Xiao Yi had not only taught him a lot, like the Jiu-Jitsu that made him stronger day by day, but also made him understand many principles of life and helped him immensely...

In his heart, he had already considered Xiao Yi closer than a blood brother, even more important than his own parents...

If anyone dared to offend Xiao Yi, it was as grave as offending him, regardless of who it was, he wouldn’t be polite!

Almost instinctively, he was ready to rush out and teach Li Zheng Yi a lesson!

But before he could even move, a hand held him back.

"Boss?"

Fatty Tang looked at Xiao Yi, who was holding him back, a hint of urgency in his eyes.

"Don’t be impulsive, you don’t need to handle this matter."

Xiao Yi said calmly. His gaze flickered over to Li Zhengyi in front of him, a trace of cold light in his eyes. Although there was, in fact, no real relationship between him and Zhao Yuhua—he had initially been merely used by Zhao Yuhua as a shield—he knew Li Zhengyi knew he was Zhao Yuhua’s boyfriend and he was right by Zhao Yuhua’s side. He couldn’t believe Li Zhengyi would fail to acknowledge his presence.

Yet Li Zhengyi had stubbornly ignored him, and now he was even making a romantic proposal right in front of him, the implication couldn’t be clearer...

He was blatantly showing him, Xiao Yi, that Li Zhengyi disregarded him—he wasn’t taking Xiao Yi seriously at all!

Although he had to admit, the man had some significance, did he really think so highly of himself?

At that moment, Xiao Yi had decided that even if it wasn’t for the promise he made to Zhao Yuhua last time, or for the favor he owed Zhao Yuhua, he was going to intervene this time and teach him a lesson!

A cold smile appeared on Xiao Yi’s lips. However, he didn’t impulsively jump out. He believed that when it was time for him to step in, he would not be left out, but now was not the time.

"No good."

Facing Li Zhengyi’s affectionate gaze and his heartfelt confession, in the midst of the staring students in the classroom, Zhao Yuhua remained calm. It was hard to tell from her expression whether she had heard Li Zhengyi’s passionate confession. Only after listening to Li Zhengyi’s last words did her eyebrows slightly furrow as she replied with two simple words.

The tone conveyed a clear decisiveness.

Not good!

Hearing Zhao Yuhua’s clear, straightforward, and resolute reply that left no room for doubt:

Everyone was stunned!

The fans of Li Zhengyi couldn’t help but feel a silent lament, and the girls showed an incredulous expression, unable to believe that Zhao Yuhua would actually reject such an excellent man’s romantic proposal!

If it had been any other woman, they would have openly criticized her for not knowing what’s good for her, but this girl was not just any woman—she was Zhao Yuhua—so they could only remain silently speechless...

An expression of stiffness took over Li Zhengyi’s face; he had never expected Zhao Yuhua to be so resolute.

But he wasn’t someone like Gao Junjie who had never seen the wider world, able to only bully ordinary folks. His mental fortitude was not something those characters could compare to. Even in such a situation, facing such decisiveness, his facial expression only stiffened briefly before he regained a slightly bitter, forced smile as he looked at Zhao Yuhua, "Yuhua, I... truly like you very much. Why must you... be so decisive?"

His expression carrying a touch of sorrow made his fans’ hearts ache, and even the students who didn’t know much about him felt a deep sympathy, as if they could feel his sincerity and deep affection, making them feel as though Zhao Yuhua’s refusal was utterly cruel and unjust. They thought she should accept such an excellent man.

Zhao Yuhua didn’t respond to Li Zhengyi’s words. She seemed like a person who couldn’t feel affection, completely oblivious to Li Zhengyi’s expressions. She merely looked over at Xiao Yi with a faint gaze as if telling Xiao Yi that it was his time to step in.

Him?

Him?

...

Following Zhao Yuhua’s gaze falling on Xiao Yi, all the students in the classroom suddenly became like a pot of boiling water, starting to bubble up with noise and commotion.

Everyone’s eyes revealed an incredulous expression.
