Zhou Yiyu

"Well, look who it is. Isn't this X University's famous campus bicycle?" Zhong Shengtai laughed. "Zhou Yiyu, out here picking up clients in the middle of the night?"

Once Zhang Rui recognized his face, he turned away in disdain. He had no respect for Zhou Yiyu.

He was a disgrace to men.

"Let go." Zhou Yiyu's voice was icy.

"You're so soft-spoken at school. Why the attitude when you're talking to us guys?" Zhong Shengtai was clearly taking his anger out on him. "Only those brainless girls would treasure a filthy rag like you. What a waste of being born a man."

Zhang Rui laughed along.

The two men, their faces swollen and bruised, laughed and grimaced for a while. It hurt.

"Listen, junior, don't think being young means you can do whatever you want. You might catch some nasty disease." Zhang Rui joined in the mockery.

He and Zhong Shengtai had always been like this: one mocked people outright, while the other put on an act, making it sound as though he had their best interests at heart.

A large part of the reason behind Zhong Shengtai's snide remarks was that someone like Zhou Yiyu actually had so many girls around him!

Zhong Shengtai wondered whether girls were all blind!

After a moment of icy silence, Zhou Yiyu gave a quiet laugh instead. "So you don't just pick on easy targets after all."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Zhong Shengtai's expression changed drastically.

"Compared to me, you two are scumbags who don't even know it." Zhou Yiyu closed one hand around Zhong Shengtai's wrist and applied a little pressure. "Was getting beaten up by a girl not enough for you?"

"You saw that?" Cold sweat broke out on Zhong Shengtai's face. Zhou Yiyu looked so skinny and frail. How was his grip this strong?

He couldn't accept running into two people he couldn't handle in a single day.

Yao Tao had a military background. Who the hell was Zhou Yiyu?

Zhong Shengtai had long been sick of that whole crowd and their messy relationships.

Why?! Just because of those faces of theirs?!

Overcome by rage, Zhong Shengtai stopped watching his mouth. "They say sons take after their fathers and daughters take after their mothers. You're a guy, so why do you act like a woman? Looking at you now, you're just like your mom, aren't you?"

Once his mother was mentioned, "cold" was no longer enough to describe Zhou Yiyu's expression.

"Say that again?"

"Oh, did I hit a nerve?" Zhong Shengtai swatted away the hand gripping his wrist and looked at him with disgust. "I said you're as filthy as your mom. Trash breeds trash! Pah! You worthless piece of shit, you filthy rag. Stay away from me, got it? I don't want to catch HPV from you!"

Zhong Shengtai hadn't finished spewing insults when, a second later, a crack rang out and his jaw was dislocated.

Zhang Rui stared, dumbfounded, then hurried forward to help.

Before he could get a single word out, one punch knocked him to the ground.

It really had taken only one punch.

Zhang Rui felt as though his entire body had spun 180 degrees!

Zhou Yiyu's strength was on a completely different level from theirs!

Zhang Rui landed headfirst. Dazed, he pushed himself upright and sat on the ground, only to see Zhou Yiyu dragging Zhong Shengtai into the alley by the head.

Zhong Shengtai couldn't even fight back.

Zhang Rui hurried after them, stumbling, and saw Zhou Yiyu grab an empty bottle from a pile nearby and smash it over Zhong Shengtai's head.

"If you don't need your brain, I'll scoop it out for you."

At that moment, Zhang Rui thought Zhou Yiyu looked like a demon that had crawled out of hell.

"Hel-!" Zhang Rui wanted to run, wanted to call someone, but the moment he opened his mouth, a blood-covered hand clamped over it.

Zhang Rui was so terrified his scalp tingled.

He stared at Zhou Yiyu, and Zhou Yiyu stared back.

Zhang Rui could feel it. He seemed-

He really wanted to kill them!

Once that thought entered his mind, Zhang Rui couldn't move at all.

Both his legs began to tremble.

"What the fuck was that noise?" A group of drunks was heading toward the internet café.

Zhang Rui looked at Zhou Yiyu in terror.

He watched him raise his other blood-drenched hand to his lips in a shushing gesture, then calmly turn and walk away.

Zhang Rui blinked twice. Only then did he remember to breathe. "H-help! Help!"

He screamed.

Zhong Shengtai lay in a heap of trash, reeking of blood.

The drunks were still woozy when they heard the cries for help, but when they shone their phone flashlights on Zhong Shengtai lying on the trash with blood all over his face, they sobered up instantly.

"Holy shit! Youngest, call the police!"

"No, no, call an ambulance first!"

"Fuck, where's my phone?!"

The drunks scrambled to help. One checked Zhong Shengtai's breathing. "H-he, he-!"

"Is he dead?!" one of them shouted.

"H-he's still breathing!"

"Why the fuck are you stuttering? You scared the shit out of me!"

They were all sober now.

Zhou Yiyu wiped the blood off his hands.

He took off his jacket and set it alight with a lighter.

The flames danced, lighting his cold, expressionless face as brightly as daylight.

"Tch." His gaze swept toward the route he had taken out. "Lucky."

Yao Tao skipped back to the dorm with He Zhen's jacket still draped over her shoulders, her exuberance impossible to miss.

Sure enough, He Zhen liked delicate, vulnerable girls. A couple of crocodile tears had landed her an entire afternoon's date.

Yao Tao was over the moon. Her spirits were soaring like a helicopter.

"Did it work out?" Bai Jianai, who had spotted Yao Tao hopping upstairs like a rabbit with a jacket over her shoulders some time ago, closed the window and drew the dorm room curtains.

"A little surprise!" Yao Tao's eyebrows lifted.

Her fictional crush had come to life and cared about her!

Boo-hoo!

A real, warm He Zhen!

Guys, who gets it?!

Not only had her fictional crush come to life, but she was the one he cared about now.

An afternoon of being treated like the female lead was just too wonderful!

The way He Zhen granted my every wish had to be an SP card!

Yao Tao clasped her hands together. "What a wonderful day this year has been!"

Yao Tao sighed with feeling.

"So are you two dating?" Bai Jianai wasn't particularly interested in gossip, but she really was curious.

How had Yao Tao managed to win He Zhen over?

He Zhen wasn't even bothering with Fu Xin anymore.

It was truly astonishing, like a dream, as though a drunk had suddenly sobered up!

"No." Yao Tao shook her head regretfully. "I'd really like to, though. How about you talk to He Zhen for me?"

"Huh?" Bai Jianai was speechless. "Why don't you ask him yourself?"

"Forget it." Yao Tao shook her head again. "Stolen moments never last. If I suddenly get dragged back to reality one day, how awful would that feel?"

The second male lead's destined route was to revolve around the female lead.

Even if He Zhen seemed perfectly clearheaded now.

Yao Tao was terrified that one day he would suddenly come to his senses again.

How hurt would she be then?

She would just treat it as a day when she had drawn an SP card.

"How is any of this stolen?" Bai Jianai couldn't understand Yao Tao's thought process at all. "I think if you confessed, He Zhen would almost certainly say yes."

"What if he rejects me?" Yao Tao steeped some goji berries in her cup. "I'd rather keep things the way they are. It's already pretty great!"
