Chapter 653 Relationship Confirmed

Listening to Zhao Yuhua’s voice, all the students who hadn’t left the classroom were utterly stunned. At this moment, they finally confirmed that the relationship between Xiao Yi and Zhao Yuhua was indeed not simple!

This was the first time Zhao Yuhua had spoken to Xiao Yi in public. Even last time, she hadn’t spoken to Xiao Yi like this, she had only used a look, which was still somewhat ambiguous!

With those words, Zhao Yuhua had undoubtedly announced to everyone her relationship with Xiao Yi.

"Uh... Boss, it looks like you can’t have dinner with me today. I’ll be leaving first..."

Fatty Tang also slightly froze. He had now gotten used to Xiao Yi and Zhao Yuhua exchanging affectionate glances secretly. So, he hadn’t bothered to inquire whether Xiao Yi was going to wait for Zhao Yuhua or not. He hadn’t expected Zhao Yuhua to suddenly want to make their secret relationship public. However, his reaction was still very quick. After glancing at Zhao Yuhua’s face and then at Xiao Yi’s slightly astonished face, he quickly made his comment and, disregarding Xiao Yi’s reaction, gave him a mischievous wink and expression before dashing out of the classroom like lightning.

"This kid!"

Seeing Fatty Tang’s expression, Xiao Yi instantly knew that the guy had made his own clever guess. His face immediately showed an embarrassed expression. He glanced stealthily at Zhao Yuhua, and seeing that she seemed to show no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for what Zhao Yuhua would say next. After waiting for a while and hearing Zhao Yuhua say nothing about needing him for something and seeming utterly unprepared to speak, he cleared his throat and initiated, "Ahem... Classmate Zhao, if there’s anything, just tell me."

"Tonight, you and I will go to a banquet!"

Zhao Yuhua’s gaze swept over the surrounding students, who hadn’t left yet and were watching her and Xiao Yi in either astonishment, shock, or avid curiosity. Her face seemed to hesitate for a bit before she spoke softly.

Whoosh!

As soon as Zhao Yuhua’s voice fell, the classroom erupted in an uproar.

If the words Zhao Yuhua had spoken before felt somewhat implicit, the words she spoke now were almost blatantly naked. There was no longer any suspense.

She personally asked Xiao Yi to attend the banquet with her; how much more straightforward could she be?

Zhao Yuhua was truly with Xiao Yi!

The students in the classroom all clenched their fists, silently deciding that once they left the classroom, they would immediately post this news on the school forum to smack the faces of those on the forum who doubted Xiao Yi and Zhao Yuhua’s relationship, claiming the two were ill-matched.

"What?"

Xiao Yi was also stunned, having completely not expected Zhao Yuhua to talk about this.

"It was his invitation."

Zhao Yuhua seemed to perceive the confusion in Xiao Yi’s heart and seriously explained, while her gaze firmly fixed on Xiao Yi with a tone that brooked no refusal.

"Uh..."

Others might not understand who Zhao Yuhua was referring to, and for a moment, Xiao Yi didn’t realize either, not until he saw the expression in Zhao Yuhua’s eyes, did he finally understand, and his heart immediately felt a huge headache.

Although he was very clear in his heart that Li Zhengyi wouldn’t just let things rest easily, he hadn’t expected that Li Zhengyi would choose not to retaliate directly, like putting him in a difficult position or getting some people to beat him up, but had chosen this method!

Li Zhengyi was still so explicit in approaching Zhao Yuhua directly!

He knew he couldn’t refuse Zhao Yuhua’s invitation since he had already agreed to assist her with this matter. He had to keep helping her until they resolved the issue.

Yet, if Li Zhengyi kept pestering Zhao Yuhua like this, was he also expected to keep playing this game indefinitely?

Moreover, attending the banquet with Zhao Yuhua was something that just thinking about made him feel a headache and uncomfortable.

"At seven tonight, I’ll wait for you at the school gate."

Before Xiao Yi could say anything, Zhao Yuhua had already made the decision for him and announced the time and place.

"Alright then"

Xiao Yi knew he couldn’t escape this matter, so he reluctantly nodded his head.

Yet in his heart, he had already secretly decided that no matter what, he had to find a way this time to push Li Zhengyi out of the running, not allowing him to endlessly pester Zhao Yuhua anymore.

If he had the time to pester Zhao Yuhua, he certainly had neither the mood, time, nor interest to keep playing this game with him!

"Are you going with me now, or will you go on your own?"

Zhao Yuhua saw Xiao Yi nod in agreement, her expression somewhat indifferent as she nodded her head slightly, then prepared to turn around and leave. However, after taking a few steps, she seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at Xiao Yi.

"I’ll go by myself."

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected Zhao Yuhua to ask this, and he froze for a moment. It took him a while to regain his composure, and as he glanced at the stares of the other students nearby, he imagined the scene that might unfold if he walked out with her on the school path, which immediately sent a shiver down his spine. He hurriedly said,

Zhao Yuhua seemed to have anticipated Xiao Yi would make this choice; she didn’t intend to walk with Xiao Yi either. Hearing Xiao Yi’s response, she simply nodded her head and turned to walk towards the classroom door on her own.

"This time, this move might have really stirred things up. Everyone might now think there’s really something between us..."

Watching Zhao Yuhua’s departing figure, then looking at the students in the classroom who had not yet left, each wearing a look of envy, jealousy, hate, and even admiration, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly again, shook his head in resignation, and walked towards the classroom door under everyone’s watchful eyes.

"Boss, are you sure this is the right classroom?"

In a corridor next to the classroom, two men with buzz cuts, their eyes gleaming with a sharp light, stared unblinkingly at the classroom door, watching as one student after another, both male and female, came out, their expressions gradually becoming impatient.

After waiting a bit longer, the shorter man next to him showed more impatience and buzzed at his companion,

"It should be, no doubt about it. That’s the information they gave us."

The slightly taller man next to him also seemed doubtful. By now, some time had passed since school had ended, and yet that kid still hadn’t appeared. But remembering the person who provided the information, his expression became resolute again, shook his head and said, "Let’s wait a bit longer. It’s only been a few minutes."

"Here he comes!"

No sooner had he spoken than a slim figure emerged from the classroom door, instantly catching his eye.

"Where?"

At the boss’s words, the shorter man immediately perked up, turned his head, and looked toward the front. However, after looking, a look of confusion spread across his face, "Boss, where is he?"

His eyes were filled with doubt; apart from a skinny guy, there was nobody else in sight.

"That one up front, the skinny guy."

The boss’s gaze was fixed on the lean figure ahead, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam.

"What?"

The short man looked toward the lean figure in front, heard the boss say it was him, and almost cried out in shock, disbelief showing in his eyes as he skeptically asked, "Boss, are you sure it’s him?"

"Absolutely, don’t underestimate him; I’ve heard he has some skills, be careful."

The boss spoke with certainty, his voice firm. Although he was warning his companion not to underestimate the other, his tone carried a hint of disdain, clearly not taking his own words seriously.

Although he had seen the photo beforehand, knowing this was someone who shouldn’t be very tough, he hadn’t expected the person in front of him to look even weaker than he had imagined—not only was his face thin, but his entire figure was extremely slim, looking nothing more than a scholarly type.

He’s trained a bit?

In this day and age, the number of those who claimed to have ’trained a bit’ and fell at their hands wasn’t small.

"Pfft, trained a bit?"

The short man sneered, curling his lip disdainfully.

"Enough talk, let’s hurry up and follow."

The boss, indifferent to his companion’s words, looked towards the lean figure already walking away, hurriedly waved his hand, spoke, and quickened his pace to follow.

Seeing the boss move, the man beside him quickly followed, his gaze fixed on the lean figure ahead while a cruel sneer appeared on his lips.

............

Just past noon, at the peak of lunchtime, the campus was bustling with people almost all heading from various classrooms towards the school’s cafeterias, or coming from the cafeterias towards the dormitories.

Xiao Yi walked along the school path, slowly making his way towards the school gate. Normally, he would have lunch with Fatty Tang, but this guy had already run off without a trace, and he no longer intended to call him.
