Chapter 665: Chapter 661: Going to the Banquet

(Another week begins, seeking monthly and recommendation tickets for support!)

——————————————————

He really couldn’t accept it: he was a member of the noble Zhang Family of Glass City, the esteemed Young Master Zhang. How could he bow his head to such an insignificant kid, an uncultured bumpkin?

But at this moment, apart from heeding the advice of Zhang Fang, he had no other option. Even Zhang Fang had been defeated by Xiao Yi and chastised, so what could he do to compete against him? If he let his temper dictate his actions and didn’t listen to Zhang Fang, returning to school would probably only result in further humiliation by Xiao Yi!

"Xiao Yi, I’ll let you gloat for now, but one day, I will show you just how formidable I am! I, Zhang Botao, will get my revenge on you sooner or later!"

After a long while, Zhang Botao finally made the reluctant decision to temporarily heed Zhang Fang’s advice and let Xiao Yi have his moment of triumph. However, in that moment of decision, his eyes revealed a deep and bitter resentment.

He inwardly resolved that no matter what, he must find a way to get rid of Xiao Yi; he couldn’t tolerate such a person’s arrogance forever, nor could he keep avoiding him!

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

Xiao Yi wasn’t too surprised that Zhang Botao wasn’t in the dormitory. Leaving aside the fact that Zhang Fang probably called Zhang Botao to tip him off and make his escape the moment Xiao Yi left, even without the phone call, a rich kid like him wasn’t likely to strictly adhere to the school’s rules, attending classes and eating meals at set times, and leading a dull and disciplined life at Z University.

Having made a wasted trip to Zhang Botao’s dormitory and not finding him, Xiao Yi was in no rush to continue searching for him in their class. He believed that though one might evade for a while, one can’t avoid the inevitable forever.

Z University wasn’t small, and some students could go the entire four years without running into each other if they didn’t actively seek out contact. But it also wasn’t so large that someone couldn’t be found if one really put effort into looking.

Leaving Zhang Botao’s dormitory, Xiao Yi headed straight back to Azure Waterfront.

After grabbing something to eat, he once again began his training. During his practice, he tried to recapture that sensation of Mind Clearing he experienced that day, but unfortunately, he failed again. That feeling seemed to be a fleeting, miraculous encounter.

He suspected that this sensation might have something to do with his use of Seven Needles twice in a row that day. He thought about trying it again, but in the end, it remained just a thought; he didn’t take any action.

Firstly, he had no pressing need to use Seven Needles at the moment, and secondly, the cost of using it without reason was way too high. Besides, that was all just speculation without any concrete evidence.

After training earnestly all afternoon, by the time he was due to meet Zhao Yuhua, he slowly drove his moderately used Toyota out, heading to the agreed-upon spot.

Even though it wasn’t his first encounter with Zhao Yuhua, and he saw her nearly every day, when Xiao Yi saw her again, he still couldn’t help but be amazed by her beauty.

Zhao Yuhua looked as usual today, not bothering with heavy makeup for the social event, or even any noticeable touch-ups. The only change was that she wore a black dress instead of her usual jeans at school.

A simple change of attire to a skirt, yet her allure seemed to multiply exponentially, radiating a breathtaking charm.

In terms of beauty and grace, she stood without peer!

It took Xiao Yi a moment to recover from the shock of her staggering beauty, and he silently praised her in his heart.

"Let’s go."

Zhao Yuhua saw Xiao Yi at first, like all the other men passing by, with confusion in his eyes, as if his whole being had gotten lost. In his faint eyes, a hint of disappointment involuntarily showed, and his brows furrowed slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed the clarity return to Xiao Yi’s eyes, and he seemed to snap back to reality. The look in her eyes instantly shifted back to one of surprise, as she had not expected him to recover his senses so quickly. Following her surprise, a flicker of intrigue quickly passed through her eyes.

However, that glint of intrigue was only momentary and soon vanished without trace. Her face quickly regained its usual indifference as she spoke in an aloof tone.

"Alright? You lead the way."

Xiao Yi nodded and was about to head back to his Toyota.

He had already seen Zhao Yuhua’s BMW when he was in the car earlier and had not offered to invite her into his old Toyota.

"We’ll go together."

Zhao Yuhua shook her head, speaking faintly.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback for a moment.

"Drive my car."

Zhao Yuhua pointed to her BMW.

"Okay, then."

After a slight moment of surprise, Xiao Yi immediately understood Zhao Yuhua’s meaning and didn’t insist on driving his own Toyota anymore. He naturally wouldn’t think that Zhao Yuhua insisted on driving her BMW because she looked down upon his Toyota. Even if the whole world might look down on the Toyota he drove, Zhao Yuhua would never be one of them.

Because he understood Zhao Yuhua. Zhao Yuhua was not the kind of person who cared about such external things.

She didn’t need to care about them, either.

The reason she suggested driving her BMW was simple: since they had already presented themselves as boyfriend and girlfriend in front of Li Zhengyi, it was inappropriate for them to drive separate cars.

Nevertheless, he didn’t stop his previous movements and continued walking toward his Toyota, saying to Zhao Yuhua, "Wait for me, I need to park my car first."

Zhao Yuhua nodded, standing quietly there, watching Xiao Yi walk back to the Toyota, start the car, and begin looking for a parking spot.

Observing Xiao Yi’s skilled parking maneuvers, Zhao Yuhua’s eyes once again revealed a flash of intrigue, coupled with a thoughtful expression.

"All set, let’s go."

After parking his car in a designated spot on the side of the road, Xiao Yi returned to Zhao Yuhua and smiled at her before saying, "Let’s go." Then, he took the initiative to walk to the front of the BMW, pulled open the passenger door, and prepared to get in. (To be continued.
