Chapter 624: A Dangerous Enemy

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but be dumbfounded as he looked at the man before him, Li Zheng Yi, and the fervent look in his face. He suddenly began to understand what the phrase "Shamelessness is invincibility" truly meant.

Li Zheng Yi, with his actions and words, personified this saying to the very extreme.

The situation before him was clear, Zhao Yuhua simply ignored him, her supposed ’boyfriend’ was also present, yet he still managed to make such a claim, and spoke so confidently as if he was the righteous one, the oppressed, the wronged...

If the person he was facing now wasn’t Zhao Yuhua, but some other ordinary girl, surely she would have been moved to tears, believing he truly, truly loved her...

But alas, there are no ifs in this world.

"You should leave, I will never like you."

Zhao Yuhua’s expression remained indifferent, even a bit cold, but anyone could detect a hint of emotion in her tone—a trace of anger! Her gaze, fixed on Li Zheng Yi before her, now showed a touch of disgust.

"Mr. Li, if there’s nothing else, I believe you can leave now."

At the right moment, Xiao Yi intervened again, patting the passionately infatuated Li Zheng Yi on the shoulder.

"Yuhua, believe me, you two are not suited for each other, he’s not worthy of you. If you don’t believe it, you can ask the friends seated here. How many of them think you’re a good match? We are the ones truly made for each other, you should give us both a chance, otherwise, you’ll regret it!!"

Having been directly confronted by Zhao Yuhua, Li Zheng Yi’s face finally struggled to maintain its composure, and a hint of impatience began to rise within him. He coldly glanced over at Xiao Yi, who was smirking and patting his shoulder, and without acknowledging Xiao Yi, turned his gaze back to Zhao Yuhua, speaking somewhat angrily.

After finishing, he truly turned his head to look at the students in the classroom, pointing at Xiao Yi next to him, "Fellow students, tell me, are these two a good match? Does this person deserve Yuhua?"

Seeing Li Zheng Yi’s expression and hearing his words, Xiao Yi’s smile momentarily stiffened but quickly returned, now brighter than before. His eyes almost completely crinkled into slits with his beaming smile, yet within those narrowed eyes flickered a chilling gleam.

It seemed some people truly didn’t know their place...

Xiao Yi gently laid his hand on Fatty Tang, who was about to rise, and looked at Li Zheng Yi with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

Li Zheng Yi had expected his question to stir the classroom into action, but silence filled the air instead. Even the most enthusiastic female fans at the front, who previously seemed like they would love to pounce and take a bite out of him, stayed silent, heads bowed.

Some of the male students who had previously admired Li Zheng Yi now simply glared at him disapprovingly, their lips curled into a cold sneer.

Indeed, they all liked Li Zheng Yi and some of them indeed felt that Li Zheng Yi and Zhao Yuhua were better matched, that Xiao Yi and Zhao Yuhua really weren’t compatible. However, they hadn’t forgotten their identity as students of the School of Mathematics and classmates of Xiao Yi. It wasn’t that they had much interaction or a strong sense of collectivism with Xiao Yi, but most of them took umbrage at Li Zheng Yi passing the buck to them. Did he think they would choose him? Everyone knew that choosing him would attract the collective disdain of the group!

And for those who didn’t care about disdain, they also understood something: offending Li Zheng Yi meant he could just leave and go back to White Tiger Country to play basketball, but if they offended Zhao Yuhua and Xiao Yi, would they still want to remain at Z University? Could Li Zheng Yi take them to White Tiger Country?

"Speak up, will you? I know that the kid has some Kungfu skills; are you afraid he’ll seek revenge afterward? Don’t worry, I assure you he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you. If he does, just tell me, and I will not stand by and watch you be bullied..."

Li Zheng Yi couldn’t believe they wouldn’t speak up, and seeing them with heads lowered, he urgently called out.

Xiao Yi’s smile grew even more radiant. Li Zheng Yi was an interesting character. It seemed that even the most sophisticated men could lose a bit of their IQ when it came to matters of women. Li Zheng Yi appeared intelligent, but how could he say something so foolish?

Even Zhao Yuhua, looking at Li Zheng Yi, couldn’t help but mix a hint of pity with her disdain, as if saying, how could someone be so foolish?

Sitting here were the bright scholars of Z University’s School of Mathematics, not nursery school toddlers. Seek recourse from him if retaliated against? Will he protect them?

Did he really think they were all idiots?

"You... you all..."

Li Zhengyi had not expected that his words would still be ineffective; seeing the look in Zhao Yuhua and Xiao Yi’s eyes as they turned towards him, his heart felt as if it had been viciously stabbed. All that was left of his reason completely faded away. Looking at the crowd in front of him, with everyone lowering their heads, not daring to speak, he felt as if they had hurt him, as if they had made him lose face in front of Xiao Yi and Zhao Yuhua, as if they were the ones laughing at him. His expression twisted into an ugly snarl as he opened his mouth, wanting to curse them out.

But Xiao Yi didn’t give him the chance.

"Slap!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a distinct five-finger mark was directly imprinted on Li Zhengyi’s handsome face.

Li Zhengyi stood there, utterly unprepared for Xiao Yi to strike him, and was slapped so hard that his body spun nearly a complete half-circle. It took him a moment to steady himself. Slouching, one hand covering the half of his face that had been hit, he looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, "You... you dared to hit me?"

"Slap!"

The response was another loud and clear slap.

Xiao Yi looked coldly at Li Zhengyi who once again spun in the opposite direction after being slapped, a hint of a cold smile playing around his lips.

If he wasn’t going to take a face-saving way out, then just deal with the back of the hand!

"You..."

Li Zhengyi had been slapped again, seeing stars in front of his eyes, the pain on his cheek unbearable. But even more unbearable than the physical pain was the agony and rage in his heart, driving him closer to madness.

His finger pointing at Xiao Yi, his eyes seemed as if they would shoot fire. He couldn’t believe that Xiao Yi, who he considered to be a coward, would actually dare to hit him, and in such a public place—at the School of Mathematics, in the campus, in front of so many people.

He felt as if all the gazes of the people around him were mocking him, ridiculing him... When had Li Zhengyi ever been subjected to such humiliation? Almost reflexively, he wanted to rush over and fight Xiao Yi to the death. Many people knew that he was good at basketball, but only a few who had interacted with him knew that his Kungfu skills were even better; his fists had once defeated several world-renowned fighters!

"Riiing..."

However, just as Li Zhengyi raised his fists, his phone began to ring urgently.

Upon hearing his ringtone, he suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him, chilling him to the bone. His rationality, which had been completely consumed by rage, seemed to return instantly, and the crazed look in his eyes sobered up in a flash.

His gaze was as cold as an iceberg as he glanced at Xiao Yi, then turned and walked away to take out his phone and began to talk in a low voice.

Watching Li Zhengyi, who seemed to have changed into a completely different person, speaking in hushed tones on his phone, a look of surprise appeared on Xiao Yi’s face and a shiver ran down his spine.

A ferocious enemy isn’t scary; it’s those who can instantly control their own emotions who are truly frightening!

He felt he might have still underestimated Li Zhengyi.

However... who was the caller? What kind of person could have such an effect? Just a moment ago, Li Zhengyi had been successfully enraged and lost all rationality, but it was because of this phone call that he suddenly sobered up.

"I will remember this."

As Xiao Yi was curious about who had made the call, Li Zhengyi had finished his conversation and hung up. His gaze turned cold as he glanced at Xiao Yi. The two slap marks were still visible on his face, but gone was the earlier frenzy and anger.

"The honor is mine."

Xiao Yi knew what "remember" meant and could hear the threat in his words, but he was, of course, not afraid of his threats. Hearing what he said, Xiao Yi simply replied indifferently. From the moment he had agreed to Zhao Yuhua, he had been prepared to become mortal enemies with him—so it made no difference to him now.

"Yuhua, I will come for you. I truly like you a lot."

Li Zhengyi looked at Xiao Yi’s indifferent expression and didn’t say anything further. His eyes twitched fiercely, then he turned his head and looked sincerely at Zhao Yuhua. He tried to maintain his dignity, but compared to before, something was still lacking. No matter how well he could pretend, the genuine emotions of rage in his heart and the marks on his face couldn’t be concealed. (To be continued.
