Chapter 762: My Grandfather Wants to See You

Xiao Yi actually handed in his paper and left the room after only half an hour!

What’s going on here?

Did he just give up like that? That’s just too fragile!

To think he had the audacity to challenge Fang Jingxu with such a performance? What a joke!

In the eyes of everyone present, they all revealed such doubts and then displayed utmost contempt. Many students who attended classes with Xiao Yi even wore a look on their faces that said, "Just as I expected."

He really is just a brute with developed limbs and a simple mind, isn’t he!

Not a single person believed that Xiao Yi had finished the paper before leaving. Who was Xiao Yi? Someone who had hardly ever been outside since coming to school, and who was constantly involved in fights and had barely attended self-study sessions at school.

How could such a person possibly finish the entire paper in just half an hour? It was well-known that the papers at Z University were notoriously difficult. There had been instances where someone tried taking Z University’s paper to a high school student from a neighboring school in the same major—allowing unlimited time for them to do their best, they only managed to score fifty-eight points, failing to pass when they were top scholarship earners at their own school.

The current subject, even though it was a general course and not exceptionally twisted, still posed some difficulties. They hadn’t even finished one-third of it, how much more that guy who only knew about brawling and running?

However, Xiao Yi was unaware of the commotion he had stirred up behind him in the classroom. In his opinion, since he had finished the exam, it made sense to hand it in and leaving would be better than staying there and daydreaming.

After leaving the examination room, he headed straight for the school gates, planning to go back, whip up something to eat, have some rest, and perhaps flip through his books to prepare for the afternoon’s test.

But he had only walked a few steps when he was taken aback. He saw a lovely figure just leaving the classroom ahead of him. Who else could it be but Zhao Yuhua?

She was taking a test in the classroom next to his?

Xiao Yi paused for a moment and glanced at the classroom number above her head.

Perhaps sensing Xiao Yi’s gaze on her, Zhao Yuhua stopped too, turned her head, and when she saw Xiao Yi standing in front of her, her expression also momentarily stilled, her eyes carrying a hint of surprise as she didn’t expect to see Xiao Yi there, let alone expected him to come out earlier than her.

But that was only for a split second. Her face returned to its usual calm, she nodded at him slightly as a greeting, then turned and walked away.

Seeing Zhao Yuhua turn her head, Xiao Yi initially wanted to chat with her, but he didn’t expect her to just nod and leave. Watching her graceful retreating figure, the words that were on the tip of his tongue had to be reluctantly swallowed back, and he shook his head helplessly with a resigned look on his face as he too turned and proceeded forward.

Exams followed one after another, and time flew by quickly. Xiao Yi’s eight courses for the semester were soon coming to an end over four days. Except for one course in mathematical analysis where he stayed in the classroom for nearly an hour, for every other course, he handed them in about half an hour, with the English exam being turned in as soon as the listening portion was over.

Naturally, Xiao Yi’s actions sparked a lot of discussions, and gradually the news spread among all the students in the School of Mathematics. Every student there believed Xiao Yi was just giving up, and each one looked down on Xiao Yi in secret.

Some had even started betting privately, wagering on Xiao Yi’s loss and setting the odds against Fang Jingxu at a hundred to one, with no one willing to bet on Xiao Yi’s victory. Some even thought such betting to be pointless and started taking bets on how many courses Xiao Yi would fail this semester.

The general guess was that he would fail at least three courses, with nearly forty percent believing he would fail at least five or more...

However, Xiao Yi was unaware of all this. After each exam, he went straight back to Azure Waterfront, and he generally did not pay attention to gossip on forums and such. Most of the gossip he heard came through Fatty Tang’s mouth.

This time, Fatty Tang also placed a lot of importance on the final exams; he even moved out of the school dorms. Plus, recently immersed in the sweetness of love, his interest in gossip had significantly waned, and he hadn’t reported these things to Xiao Yi timely.

Even if Xiao Yi did find out, he wouldn’t care, perhaps just offering a faint smile.

After finishing the last subject, Xiao Yi was prepared to leave the classroom and head back to Azure Waterfront, as he had always done, but he was taken aback as soon as he reached the classroom door. He saw Zhao Yuhua’s slender figure standing right there at the threshold, seemingly waiting for someone.

Seeing Zhao Yuhua did not surprise him. Throughout the exam period, except for the differential calculus and English exams, he had almost always come across her after any given exam, whether he left the room first and saw her, they happened to leave at the same time, or she left first and he saw her from afar upon exiting—none of the instances were far apart in timing.

Yet every time, she hardly ever lingered at the classroom door, always leaving directly after the exam. Why was she standing here this time?

"You’re out?"

While Xiao Yi was slightly caught off guard, Zhao Yuhua had already turned her head and seen him emerge. A flash of something different crossed her eyes, but it swiftly returned to calm. She nodded at him and spoke up.

"Um?"

Xiao Yi was stunned again, observing Zhao Yuhua’s expression, which seemed as if she had been waiting for him. But he quickly regained his composure, nodded at Zhao Yuhua with a smile, and said, "Yeah, today’s questions were somewhat difficult, took me a bit longer to work through, heh heh."

The questions were somewhat difficult? It took him a bit longer?

Could it be that he meant he only left after completing all the questions?

Zhao Yuhua was slightly taken aback and eyed Xiao Yi with an odd expression. In truth, like all other students, she did not believe that Xiao Yi had finished all the questions before leaving. However, she knew that Xiao Yi was no ordinary student, his abilities were strong, and she was also aware that the rumors of his match with Fang Jingxu had been outright canceled. Therefore, she didn’t mind how Xiao Yi handled his exams. She was certain of one thing: Xiao Yi would not be expelled from Z University, and even if he were, he wouldn’t care.

"Ahem, Classmate Zhao, may I ask, are you waiting for someone?"

Seeing Zhao Yuhua staring intently at him all of a sudden, and even though he was certain Zhao Yuhua could not possibly be interested in him, Xiao Yi still couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and prompted her.

"Yes, waiting for you."

Hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, Zhao Yuhua instantly snapped out of her daze, her facial expression unchanged and immediately returned to her usual cool detachment. She then nodded at Xiao Yi.

"Waiting for me?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback once again. Although he had faintly suspected it before, hearing Zhao Yuhua actually confirm it still felt somewhat unexpected.

"Indeed, my grandfather wants to see you." Zhao Yuhua nodded, "When are you available?"

Instead of asking Xiao Yi whether he agreed or not, Zhao Yuhua directly inquired when he was available, with an indubitable tone, yet so casually and naturally, as if... as if they were a couple who had been in love for many years and had reached the point of discussing marriage, nonchalantly questioning him.

They... had they reached the stage of meeting the parents? To what extent had they... could it be my dream girl has genuinely been wooed by this guy? It must be so, otherwise, why would she say that...

A nearby student, who by chance had felt exceptionally lucky today, feeling as if all the questions were those he had reviewed, and with a divine flow to his pen work, had also just finished his exam and was walking out the door quite pleased with himself, overheard Zhao Yuhua’s words upon exiting and stumbled against the doorframe, seeing stars from the impact, yet not feeling any pain—or rather, the pain in his forehead was utterly overshadowed by the agony in his heart, as he inwardly cried in anguish.

"Um... what does your grandfather want to see me for?"

Xiao Yi too sensed something was off in Zhao Yuhua’s tone. He glanced at the student who had stumbled into the door, his face a mix of embarrassment for a while before he cleared his throat again, regaining his thoughts somewhat, and looked at Zhao Yuhua with confusion.

Since he had come to G City, although he had had some dealings with the Zhao Family, like the time he slapped that man named Zhao Sheng at the First Affiliated Hospital not too long ago, he had already asked Zhao Yuhua to handle it afterward.

Overall, his interactions with the Zhao Family were very limited, and he did not expect them to increase in the future. Therefore, he could not fathom why Zhao Yuhua’s grandfather, the head of the Zhao Family, Old Master Zhao, would have any reason to see him.

Aside from one reason, that is. But in his opinion, that reason was absolutely impossible. Even though many at the university were spreading rumors that he and Zhao Yuhua were a couple, he was very clear that nothing of the sort was happening between them. At most, they were friends who could have a few more conversations than usual because they were of a similar kind.
