“She’s always like this.” An Siyao’s words led Xia Yu to confirm that this classmate was an enemy.
If she was the enemy, there was no need to be nice.
Xia Yu reached out to grab the girl’s shoulders. Along with her frightened gaze, the girl was pushed against the wall.
Xia Yu looked down at her. He was going to scare her, however, after seeing her fear, he abandoned the plan.
She was just a student at an elite school. Being pushed to the wall was enough to terrify her.
“What… what are you doing?” The girl’s voice shook with fear. She had never seen anything like this.
Is she going to hit me? I’m so scared!
When Xia Yu reached out his hand, the girl closed her eyes, preparing for the hit.
There was no pain, however, instead, there was a light chuckle.
The girl opened her eyes carefully, seeing Xia Yu’s playful expression.
Xia Yu pushed one hand on the wall next to the girl’s head and pinched her jaw with his other hand. He leaned his face really close.
The girl looked around frantically, wanting to avoid his gaze. He was too close, however, and with a hand on her chin, she had nowhere to go.
She had to stare at Xia Yu’s face.
A beautiful face filled with so much aggression, making her heartbeat accelerate.
“Don’t play these games anymore, alright?” Xia Yu pinched the girl’s face.
The face-pinching would have been humiliating and confrontational between thugs, but the girl wasn’t a thug, so the face-pinching was affectionate.
Her heart beat even faster now. Her face burned too.
“OK.” She answered in a low voice.
Xia Yu let her go and kept walking to class.
The girl stood in place, staring at his back.
The students who witnessed the scene in the hallway told everyone at school.
In Class B of 12th grade, Feng Yujia, who was busy laughing with her friends, heard her phone ring.
After taking the call, Feng Yujia heard some unexpected news.
“Sister Yujia, your little sister was bullied by An Siyao near the bathroom!”
“What?!” Feng Yujia slammed the table and called her younger sister, Feng Yumo.
Feng Yumo, who was doubting her sexual orientation at the moment, didn’t dare tell her older sister the truth. Her vague words made Feng Yujia think she was really bullied.
After gathering five friends, Feng Yujia was ready to look for Xia Yu for a fight. Then, the class bell made everyone return to their seats.
When the fourth period ended, they ran to An Siyao’s classroom, only to realize she’d gone to the cafeteria.
At the cafeteria, they didn’t find An Siyao, instead, they were met by a teacher.
“What are you doing?” The young female teacher frowned.
Feng Yujia and her posse panicked. They made up a reason for their gathering.
After walking away from the teacher, Feng Yujia waved her hand. “Go get some food, pretend you’re looking for a friend you got separated from.”
The five of them spent two minutes getting lunch. Holding their trays, they looked around for Xia Yu.
After some time, they located Xia Yu.
“She’s by herself now. I’m going over there. If I ask you, come over.” Feng Yujia walked toward Xia Yu with her lunch tray.
Xia Yu, in the middle of enjoying the high-end food, looked up to see a tall girl in front of him. He was a little surprised.
The girl looked thin, with a face that was as pretty as An Siyao’s.
What did she want?
Seeing her lunch tray, Xia Yu understood.
She just needed a place to sit.
“It’s open, you can sit here.”
Feng Yujia was about to ask about her sister when Xia Yu talked first. She couldn’t react quickly enough. She just never thought Xia Yu would say anything like this.
While still out of sorts, she sat down like Xia Yu had suggested.
Xia Yu felt weird after Feng Yujia sat down.
This was an elite private school, not an ordinary high school. There was no need to share tables with this many seats in the cafeteria.
So, she is—
—An Siyao’s friend?
Why didn’t An Siyao tell him?
He was confused. An Siyao was also surprised by Feng Yujia’s action.
Without any explanations from An Siyao, Xia Yu believed his own guess. He was just worried about the best way to act around a friend of An Siyao’s.
After some hesitation, he saw the food on Feng Yujia’s plate.
He saw a plate of white-colored meatballs, something he’d never seen before.
When Feng Yujia managed to recover, she was about to question Xia Yu about her sister, but Xia Yu spoke first again.
“Does this taste good?” Xia Yu asked.
The question surprised Feng Yujia. In her shock, she answered, “It’s pretty good.”
“Can I have one?” Xia Yu asked again.
“Sure.”
“How is this fish? Is it delicious?”
“Yeah.”
Feng Yujia realized Xia Yu had taken several bites of her dish.
I came here to fight you! Why are you always taking my food? Do you have any shame?
When Xia Yu asked her for another meatball, she started to refuse.
Feng Yujia took a deep breath. No matter what Xia Yu said now, she wouldn’t be interrupted. “After the third period, you—”
Dang–
A lunch tray landed near her. Her sister Feng Yumo, the reason for her confrontation with Xia Yu, just sat down.
“You’re here too, Sister.” While Feng Yumo talked to Feng Yujia, she kept staring at Xia Yu.
Afraid of her sister thinking that she’s made Xia Yu into a friend, Feng Yujia rushed to explain, “Yumo, listen, I’m just…”
“I didn’t know you were friends with Siyao. I thought you didn’t get along!” Feng Yumo stuck out her tongue and looked at Xia Yu with an apology.
Feng Yujia: “?”
“I also got these meatballs. You can have them.” Feng Yumo gave the coveted meatballs to Xia Yu.
Feng Yujia: “???”
I had the wrong intel? My sister wasn’t bullied?
But even if my sister wasn’t bullied and actually liked An Siyao, I can’t be friends with her!
Feng Yujia stood up all of a sudden, turning to leave. Her five friends, who were watching from nearby, thought this was her signal for attack.
The gang gathered near the table. Xia Yu noticed their fierce demeanor at once.
He slammed the table and stood up too. He frowned and used his Scaring skill.
The five girls felt as if Xia Yu had turned into a rabid dog. They instantly stopped moving and shivered.
After Xia Yu took one step toward them, they shouted and ran away.
Xia Yu turned to look at Feng Yujia. “It’s fine now. Sit.”
He thought Feng Yujia was standing up to fight off the gang of girls.
Xia Yu sat down and realized he was eating too much of Feng Yujia’s lunch.
“Have some of this. You’re too thin. You need to eat more.” He gave one meatball to Feng Yujia.
Feng Yumo was about to say her older sister didn’t like meat, but Feng Yujia, her cheeks red, put a meatball into her mouth.
Feng Yujia, biting into the meatball, thought of the way Xia Yu scared off the girls. Her heart beat faster, her face felt hot too.
