Chapter 329: Chapter 221: Aloof, Just an Adjective
"Weren’t you saying recently that you were very busy?"
"That was a while ago. These past few days I’ve been free, all my tasks are done, I can relax for a while now. How are you adapting to school?"
"It’s alright, I’ve met some new classmates."
"That’s good. By the way, Xiaoqing, have you missed me? Isn’t my arrival a surprise to you?"
"Miss you? Ha! Who would miss you!"
"So you do miss me at night..."
"What’s that supposed to mean!"
"Ghosts come out at night! While you’re asleep, they hover around your dorm window..."
"Stop, that’s frightening. Don’t make me have nightmares."
"Let’s go, there’s a nice mall near your campus. Let’s go eat hot pot, the latest Transformers movie is out, let’s see it."
"Sure, I want to eat ice cream while watching the movie."
"All you ever think about is eating, you glutton."
"Whatever!"
"After the movie, maybe we could go to my place..."
"What did you say!"
"Ouch! Stop hitting me, that hurts! You’re always stepping on my toes, these shoes are new."
"Does it hurt?"
"Yes, it hurts. Blow on it for me?"
"Drop dead, get your stinky feet away from me!"
"Hahahaha..."
"..."
Watching the two teasing each other walking away, the two boys left on the spot felt a bit dizzy. They had been force-fed a large dose of PDA (public display of affection) and felt the urge to rush off and vomit.
They looked at each other, "I just found out that Lin Xiaoqing has a boyfriend..."
"Indeed, goddesses usually do have boyfriends, even Lin Xiaoqing."
"No wonder!"
"This is breaking news!"
"That guy doesn’t even look that great, how did he manage to win over Lin Xiaoqing?"
"It must’ve been from high school... right, did you catch that guy’s name when they were talking?"
"It seemed like...it was... Zhao Ying... Zhao Yi? Zhao Yi?"
"Right, Zhao Yi, that name sounds familiar. it rings bells, Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi... where have I heard it before?"
"Isn’t that Zhao Yi?"
"Which one?"
"The math genius. He topped the College Entrance Examination in Nanjiang, earned international awards, and now, he’s at Yanhua University."
"Lin Xiaoqing is also from Nanjiang, isn’t she..."
"Couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it?"
A glance exchanged between the two of them, they quickly rushed into the library. There is a computer room in the library that is open to the public. The internet speed isn’t the best, but it is enough for browsing and playing simple games.
They looked up the news about Zhao Yi, and found a picture of him. They quickly confirmed their earlier guess.
That is indeed Zhao Yi!
He is the math genius that scored the highest marks in the entire Nanjiang Province, proved the Collatz Conjecture, won international math awards, and currently enrolled in Yanhua University.
Such a figure... freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
is Lin Xiaoqing’s boyfriend?
This truly is an incredibly explosive piece of news!
That day, this super gossip spread quickly in the freshman class of the Political and Legal University, and it was soon posted on the internal forum of the university.
By the time Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing started watching the movie, news had already spread to the Yanhua University’s forum.
"Unbelievable! Zhao Yi has a girlfriend, his high school classmate!"
"Zhao Yi’s girlfriend is a freshman at the Political and Legal University!"
"I have a picture, the girl appeared on TV, in a CCTV profile!"
"Search online, they participated in the Youth Cup Knowledge Competition in Nanjiang Province together!"
"So they’ve been a couple since high school."
"..."
Zhao Yi still has no idea his love life has been exposed and garnered a lot of attention.
Today has been quite fruitful.
Just from shopping and going to the cinema, he earned six "Flirting Points". He enjoyed reminiscing about getting the "Flirting Points", but regretted not achieving his goal.
Lin Xiaoqing, went back to school.
He originally planned to go back with Lin Xiaoqing, but she made up various excuses to refuse.
"Sigh!"
It seems that the journey to "flirt" has not yet reached its end. Comrade, you still need to work hard!
Zhao Yi sighed, went back to the dorm, and played games with his buddies. In college life, the weekend is game time. He didn’t know if others felt the same, but most single dogs did.
Like, Fan Lei.
Like, Li Renzhe.
Meng Zheng romantically chose the same university and major as his girlfriend, but he didn’t seem too keen on dating. On weekends, he either went home or holed up in his dorm.
"Who knows if he really goes home? Maybe he goes to a hotel, hehe..."
Li Renzhe was maliciously speculating about Meng Zheng’s private life when he saw Zhao Yi walk in the door.
"Zhao Yi?"
"Zhao Yi!"
Li Renzhe and Fan Lei immediately perked up, their eyes filled with gossip, "Did you check the school forum?"
"What now?"
"You and your girlfriend, Lin Xiaoqing, everyone already knows!"
Zhao Yi hurriedly opened his laptop and saw that as Li Renzhe and Fan Lei said, many posts on the school internal forum were exposing his relation with Lin Xiaoqing, some were saying that the news was transmitted from the Political and Legal University.
"Damn!"
"So gossipy!"
Luckily, the press didn’t seem interested. Zhao Yi was not a celebrity who attracted fans with his looks, and ordinary people didn’t care about his private life. Similar gossips were online, but like in high school, even making the news didn’t attract people’s attention.
Not bad!
Zhao Yi wouldn’t want to be the subject of gossip everywhere; it would be too depressing if his personal life was affected. However, being gossiped about on the school forum isn’t such a big deal.
The people at the university were interested because he was there; he could bump into a lot of classmates on the road, so others might naturally take an interest.
Zhao Yi didn’t mind. He just played games with Li Renzhe and Fan Lei.
They played until midnight.
Thrilling!
Zhao Yi’s love life being the subject of gossip did have a certain impact on those around him.
For example, Fan Lei.
Fan Lei felt a bit sad; he always thought that he and Zhao Yi were on the same team in the dorm - they were both single. However, it turns out that Zhao Yi actually has a girlfriend.
This...
"So, it’s only me and Li Renzhe who are in the same team!"
While eating in the canteen, Fan Lei looked at the straight-backed Li Renzhe and the few girls purposely sitting nearby, and felt slightly melancholic.
Fortunately, Zhao Yi had a girlfriend.
This was also good news!
"If all the girls knew that Zhao Yi had a girlfriend, their attention might be focused on me."
"Hehe..."
Fan Lei’s mood brightened considerably, he turned to tease Li Renzhe, "Why are you sitting so straight? Your actions look peculiar."
Li Renzhe sneered, "Image, do you understand it? My mom always told me to sit properly and stand properly. Regardless of the situation, one must always be mindful of their image!"
"Really?"
Zhao Yi found it very amusing.
Li Renzhe’s words were not wrong, but had this guy really achieved it?
Obviously, not.
When the girls at the next table left after eating, Li Renzhe immediately changed his demeanor. He finished everything on the table within a few mouthfuls, completely disregarding what he had just said.
"This guy is just pretending!" Fan Lei made a conclusion about Li Renzhe.
Zhao Yi nodded in agreement.
Li Renzhe immediately became displeased, "What are you guys saying?" He felt he couldn’t slander Zhao Yi, so he immediately turned his gun towards Fan Lei, "Maintaining a good image can make girls like you, understand?"
"So you’re saying, girls would like someone like you?"
"Of course."
Li Renzhe straightened up with a smirk and resumed his cool demeanor.
Fan Lei took a deep breath.
Zhao Yi carefully observed Li Renzhe’s actions and found a hint of coolness about his demeanor. Maybe girls really like that?
Isn’t there a popular type of man, called the ’cool male god’?
This needs to be verified!
Next afternoon, during the calculus practice class.
Zhao Yi didn’t intend to attend the calculus practice class, as solving after-class problems was meaningless to him.
However, he still attended. Due to the ’Rest Coin’ system, which could only be earned during class sleeping, he also had to allocate some time for them. After all, one can never have too many ’Study Coins’. Spending some time sleeping in class to earn them also seemed like a good idea.
After class.
Zhao Yi opened his half-closed eyes. He wasn’t tired when he attended the class. After listening to Hu Zhibin for about ten minutes, there was no need to foster any somnolence; he just placed his head on the desk and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found a group of girls crowded around him.
"Teacher Hu said that if we have any questions, we can ask you. Your math skills are much better than his!"
"Zhao Yi, explain this problem to me!"
"I didn’t understand this problem!"
"Neither did I!"
Zhao Yi knew where the problem was, but why were all girls gathered around him?
Where were the boys?
The reason was simple: the problems explained during the class were not too difficult. Most of the attentive students were able to understand them.
So, all the people who crowded around were girls.
When they saw so many girls crowded around Zhao Yi, the boys didn’t dare come over. Fan Lei, who was sitting next to Zhao Yi, hurriedly said enthusiastically, "I can solve this question too. I understood it."
No one attended to him.
Fan Lei could only continue sitting there with a bitter smile. He had finally understood that they were not really interested in the problems.
Zhao Yi pressed his forehead and sighed. Wondering about the troubles of being too popular, he saw Li Wenzhe across two seats, standing with a cool expression.
Is this guy pretending to be cool again?
Zhao Yi suddenly remembered his experiment idea, he leaned over and asked in a low, mysterious voice, "By the way, I have a roommate, Li Renzhe, who always wants me to introduce him to a girlfriend. But I don’t know anyone suitable. You all know Li Renzhe, right?"
He pointed casually as he spoke.
A large group of girls looked over simultaneously.
"Who is interested? Just whisper it to me. I won’t gossip, don’t worry!"
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The girls dispersed quickly, not even one stayed behind.
"Fan Lei, did you see?" Zhao Yi turned his head and seriously said to Fan Lei, "So, the most important part of ’cool male god’ is the ’male god’. Whether one is cool or not is just an adjective."
Fan Lei agreed with a nod. He turned his head and saw a confused Li Renzhe and couldn’t help laughing heartily.
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Renzhe was somewhat clueless.
Zhao Yi also burst into laughter, and explained, "Just now, a girl told me she likes you and asked me to introduce you to her. But I thought the girl wasn’t very good-looking, so I didn’t agree."
"Ah? Who? Which one? The girls just now were all pretty!"
"You should’ve told me sooner!"
Zhao Yi sighed as if he had missed out on millions, "There will be another chance, still have a chance!"
"Specifically, who is it!"
"I don’t know, ask Fan Lei!" After saying this, Zhao Yi hurried away.
"Don’t ask me, I don’t know either!"
"..."
Li Renzhe felt that the two of them were making fun of him, but he still couldn’t help but carefully recall which girls had surrounded him just now.
Even the least attractive one...
Would also do!
