Chapter 83: Chance encounter with Lady Zhou

Scared? Leng Xuan found it amusing inside.

However, he didn’t want to appear too arrogant, so he simply said, "It’s nothing, Xiaotian. Go on with your own things, I want to take a short nap." With that, he laid his arms on the table and buried his head in them.

Zhao Xiaotian initially wanted to persuade him further, but seeing that Leng Xuan was ignoring him, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything more; instead, he shook his head, sighed, and turned to his book.

The morning self-study session swiftly passed, and the morning went by without incident. Zhao Xiaotian wanted to invite Leng Xuan to lunch, but knowing that Xiaotian was a good kid who usually didn’t cause trouble, Leng Xuan was concerned that if they ran into Huang Xiaojun’s people and a fight started, he himself would be fine, but it could potentially bring trouble onto Xiaotian. So, he told Xiaotian to go eat first, claiming he had something else to do. After Xiaotian had left for a while, Leng Xuan went alone to the large cafeteria for lunch.

Li Mengjie originally wanted to invite Leng Xuan to the Tenglong Hotel for a meal, but Ling Xuejiu obviously didn’t want to get too close to Leng Xuan at school, to avoid any misunderstandings, which would not be good. With no other choice, Li Mengjie had to give up the idea.

In the large cafeteria, Leng Xuan paid for his meal with ten yuan and received four yuan in change. Holding his tray, he noticed that the vast cafeteria was packed, with hardly any free seats. He walked forward and suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure. Wasn’t it Zhou Li, the one who was harassed by Huang Xiaojun the day before?

Zhou Li didn’t seem to be alone; there were six girls at her table, all wearing school uniforms, and it was apparent that their families were not wealthy. The school didn’t impose strict dress codes on students; except for special days, everyone could wear whatever they liked. For this reason, the children of the wealthy rarely wore school uniforms and preferred their own stylish clothes instead.

However, it must be said that since Tenglong High School was a private and rather aristocratic institution, its uniforms were quite distinct from those of other high schools across the country. The boys’ uniforms resembled tailored suits, and the girls’ uniforms had a blazer-like top with a pure white skirt for the bottom. In summer, the campus was filled with the sight of beautiful legs and stockings, which was quite pleasant to behold.

Perhaps sensing Leng Xuan’s gaze, Zhou Li looked up at him, paused for a moment in surprise, seemingly stunned both by their unexpected encounter and by Leng Xuan’s handsome appearance in his school uniform. But she quickly lowered her head, adopting an air of indifference towards him.

Leng Xuan didn’t mind. He saw an empty seat on a table next to Zhou Li’s, only a narrow aisle separating them, and so he sat down there.

Zhou Li might have appeared to ignore Leng Xuan, but covertly, she still kept an eye on him using her peripheral vision. Seeing him sit just next to her, with only a less than one-meter-wide aisle between them, she felt an unexplained nervousness. She thought about how Leng Xuan had stood up for her the previous day, and deep down, she was truly grateful, though his indifference to her beauty had hurt her pride, leading her to ignore him. However, when Yellow Hair had asked her about Leng Xuan, she was a bit worried for him. Now, with Leng Xuan sitting beside her, she couldn’t help feeling torn, wondering if she should warn him about Huang Xiaojun seeking trouble, pondering internally, ’Should I remind him or not?’
