The two stood there in a stalemate at the school gate for only a short while, and people had already gathered around to watch out of curiosity.
Many people recognized Xia Zhiyi, and some Xia Zhiyi, saying, "Hey? What happened? Are you two arguing?"
Xia Zhiyi turned to look at the person who had spoken to her. The person was wearing a black shirt, dark jeans, and the only light color was the pair of white sneakers on their feet.
As for his appearance... he had light blonde hair, a wheat-colored complexion, delicate features, and a pimple on his chin, but overall he had a rather pleasing and good-looking face.
look familiar.
It looks very familiar.
But Xia Zhiyi probably doesn't know him.
They must be strangers you've encountered on the street or elsewhere, but aren't familiar with.
"I don't know either." Xia Zhiyi smiled as she answered the question, while silently digging out a corresponding figure from her memory, trying to recall who it was.
In my memory, the person who was with him seemed to call him...
" Teng Si'an?"
Teng Si'an heard his name called, he looked up in surprise and met Xia Zhiyi's gaze.
Then, he exclaimed with great surprise, "Huh?! You know me?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "I overheard your friend or classmate calling you that before, and since your hair color is quite memorable at our school, I remembered it."
Well, relatively few students at University A dye their hair, but it's not uncommon. They usually opt for more subtle hair colors, just changing their hair color to change their mood after starting university.
Even if we don't talk about University A, it's rare to see someone at any other school dye their hair such a dazzling color that it stands shoulder to shoulder with the sun in the sunlight, making it almost unbearable to look at.
It's truly unbearable to look at.
It's blinding.
This hair color creates a stark contrast with the tanned skin that appears after military training.
Upon hearing this, Teng Si'an touched her hair, her smile as bright as the sun, "Oh? So it's because of my hair? That's great! This color is definitely the easiest to remember!"
After saying that, he grasped Xia Zhiyi's hand, his eyes shining. "Actually, I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, but military training is just too tiring. Every day after training, my mind is already wandering back to the dormitory. I have absolutely no energy to go to your class to make friends with you. I've been resentful about it for a long time!"
It's fate that we met here today!
"It just so happens that you remember me well, and I remember you well too. Our friendship is a match made in heaven! Xia Zhiyi, let's be friends!"
He's incredibly outgoing and friendly!
Xia Zhiyi could have avoided his actions, but Xia Zhiyi didn't. So, when he was being held by the hand and experiencing Teng Si'an's enthusiasm up close, he was both surprised and helpless.
He moved, but couldn't pull his hand away, so he said, "Don't get agitated, let go of my hand first."
He didn't dodge just now only because his public persona wouldn't allow him to do so, but that doesn't mean he wants Teng Si'an to hold his hand forever. He remembers that he has a boyfriend now.
It's fine if it only lasts a little while, but why keep pulling on it like that?
Fortunately, Teng Si'an listened and released Xia Zhiyi, his eyes still sparkling. "What do you think of my suggestion?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Sure."
Just making friends.
If you get along, great; if not, just cut ties. It's not a big deal.
Teng Si'an was immediately delighted. "Then we're friends now!"
Xia Zhiyi helplessly, "Well, but these kinds of things don't really need to be this formal, do they?"
Teng Si'an shook his head. "That's different. If we weren't friends, then I'm just a passerby, a concerned citizen, and shouldn't get involved in your affairs; it would be meddling."
"But if we're friends..." Teng Si'an winked at Xia Zhiyi, "I treat my friends differently than I treat my classmates. I, Teng Si'an, am super protective of my friends!"
Xia Zhiyi was slightly taken aback.
Before he could say anything, Teng Si'an turned around and shouted at Wang Su, "Hey, you were just causing trouble for my friend, weren't you?"
Wang Su felt very uncomfortable when the two ignored him, but he didn't dare to approach Xia Zhiyi to pull them apart, so he could only stand there and vent his anger.
Just as he was about to explode, Teng Si'an suddenly turned around and shouted at him, which made Wang Su even more furious. "What's it to you?! And who are you, you thug?"
As he spoke, Wang Su, lost in his own thoughts, glanced at Teng Si'an, focusing on his head, then turned to Xia Zhiyi, saying with disdain, "Heh, birds of a feather flock together, you only associate with people like this."
Teng Si'an's expression immediately turned ugly. "What are you saying? Who are you calling a thug?!"
As he spoke, the man rushed forward. Although he was shorter than Wang Su, he was very imposing. He put his hands on his hips and started cursing at Wang Su.
If Wang Su could tolerate being insulted without retaliating, he wouldn't have Xia Zhiyi in the first place. He immediately shifted his focus and started hurling insults at Teng Si'an.
Teng Si'an didn't utter a single swear word, yet he still managed to hit people where it hurt.
In comparison, Wang Su, who was arguing with him, was the one who cursed the most at this moment, but in the eyes of the onlookers, Wang Su had lost.
Because Wang Su used foul language.
When Wang Su blurted out that he was implicating the women in Teng Si'an, Teng Si'an's face turned completely cold. At that moment, Xia Zhiyi also expressionlessly snatched a piece of bread from a passing student and used it to shut Wang Su up.
Just as he blocked it, Teng Si'an slapped Wang Su across the face, sending the bread Xia Zhiyi had just stuffed into his mouth flying.
The field fell silent.
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Teng Si'an: "..."
Wang Su: "..."
Passerby: "..."
Finally, Xia Zhiyi was the first to speak, "I'm sorry, I'll buy you a new one."
He was speaking to the innocent students whose food rations had been taken away.
Then came Wang Su's incredulous voice. "You fucking dare to hit me!?" He then raised his fist to strike back.
However, with Xia Zhiyi present, it was impossible for Wang Su to succeed; she subdued Wang Su with a single hand.
Xia Zhiyi looked at Wang Su with icy eyes, her tone devoid of its usual warmth, as if it contained shards of ice, leaving Wang Su rooted to the spot. "Senior, my patience has its limits."
He didn't need to say much or be fierce; just one sentence and one look were enough to terrify Wang Su, making him stiff and unable to move.
After a moment, Teng Si'an uttered two words: "Trash."
Then, Teng Si'an turned to the student and said, "I'm sorry, this bread... was wasted because of me. Where did you buy it? I'll go buy you a new one, or I can just transfer the money to you."
The student silently looked up, revealing his face from under his hat. "... Actually, it's not necessary. Whatever makes you happy."
Xia Zhiyi: "Senior?"
Teng Si'an: "Sister!?"
Xia Zhiyi: "...?"
