“You mean… That little girl,” Xie Yujia said quietly.
“Yeah,” Hao Ren smiled with a shrug.
The bus soon arrived at the gate of LingZhao Middle School.
The school day was over, so the gate was crowded with students. A Rolls-Royce Phantom parked right in front of the school gate, forcing the students to walk around it.
Zeng Yitao stuck out in the crowd with his arrogant temperament.
“Hey, this is Zeng Yitao. He is charming.”
“I heard that he already received many love letters and chocolates on the second day after the transfer.”
Two girls from the Middle School Department discussed in excitement as they walked pass Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia looked at them and smiled. Girls secretly gossiping about cute guys in their class or the classes near them was something that occurred all the time in middle school.
Zhao Yanzi walked out of the gate at this moment.
Then, all sorts of chatter continued.
“I heard that the handsome new student in the High School Department transferred here for Zhao Yanzi. Words are that they are engaged.”
“Really?”
“You didn’t know? He even went to the Middle School Department to see her, but Zhao Yanzi kicked him out. Maybe they are having an argument. Anyways, I heard that they are engaged.”
“It can’t be. Isn’t Zhao Yanzi in Class Two? Aren’t the students in Class Two kind of poor? Look at Zeng Yitao. He rides a Rolls-Royce. How can their families be a match?”
“I am not sure about that. Maybe their families have known each other, and maybe Zeng Yitao is attracted by Zhao Yanzi’s charm. Zeng Yitao’s family is loaded, so it is a sure thing that Zhao Yanzi’s family would like to get connected with them.”
Hao Ren was speechless at the students’ random gossips.
“How could West Ocean be wealthier than East Ocean? Besides their ‘local specialty’, West Ocean Mystic Ice, they couldn’t compare with East Ocean on other resources. Regarding wealth, West Ocean isn’t even half as rich as East Ocean,” he thought.
“Do you need a ride, Zi?” Zeng Yitao asked Zhao Yanzi who just walked out of the school gate right before he sat into the Rolls-Royce.
Although he wasn’t loud, everyone witnessed the invitation since Zhao Yanzi and Zeng Yitao were both at the center of everyone’s attention.
Zhao Yanzi had no interest in talking to him; she walked around the Rolls-Royce to cross the street.
Zhao Guang and the Elders usually wouldn’t come to pick her up if it weren’t a rainy day. She would take the bus home herself.
“Zi!” Hao Ren waved toward the school gate from the other side of the street.
Zhao Yanzi smiled as soon as she heard Hao Ren’s voice. She was glad that she could finally get rid of Zeng Yitao. However, her face froze as soon as she saw Xie Yujia standing beside Hao Ren.
“Who’s that guy?”
“I don’t know. He came here a few times to pick Zhao Yanzi up.”
“No, he came into the school last time as well. Maybe he is from City North First High School. They say that he is Zhao Yanzi’s boyfriend.”
“Oh! I remember! Was he the one who hugged Zhao Yanzi in front of the Academic Building? Haha! It’s getting interesting! Zhao Yanzi found herself a boyfriend while she is engaged to Zeng Yitao!”
“No wonder Zeng Yitao transferred to LingZhao High School from another city all of a sudden. So, this is the reason! Is his name Hao Ren?”
“Yes. Zhao Yanzi admitted herself that he is her boyfriend. But my brother is at City North First High School, and he said that there isn’t such a person in Grade 11.”
“Tell your brother to ask around more! Hehe, two high schoolers are going to fight for Zhao Yanzi. It’s going to be a good show. Anyways, that Hao Ren is kind of cute too.”
“They are different. Zeng Yitao is a little cool with a mean personality whereas that Hao Ren looks ok but has no unique personality.”
All sorts of chatter sounded, and Hao Ren’s acute hearing caught all the gossip.
“Ah… Personality… I guess pretending to be cool would be the so-called personality in these middle schoolers’ eyes,” he thought.
They combined their imaginations with assumptions, distorting the facts into a complete mess. Hao Ren had to admire these girls’ information combining abilities by which they connected a few irrelevant things and told it as if it were facts.
Zhao Yanzi walked to Hao Ren slowly with a reluctant look on her face.
“She is coming too?” Zhao Yanzi asked while giving Xie Yujia a very unfriendly look.
“Um, she is coming together with us,” Hao Ren said.
Xie Yujia sensed the strong hostility in the little girl’s eyes. Now that she had ruled out the possibility of Su Han being Hao Ren’s girlfriend, she wasn’t sure if Zhao Yanzi was really Hao Ren’s “fiancée”.
The word which only appeared in rich people’s circles along with Zhao Yanzi’s age made the whole thing unrealistic.
The Rolls-Royce went slowly toward them.
All the students near the school gate felt like they were in for a great show. Therefore, they all stood still and looked in Hao Ren’s direction.
“Si…” The window lowered slowly, and Zeng Yitao’s pale yet arrogant face appeared behind the window.
“Zi, I don’t care about what would happen three years later. You will be mine in these three years,” he articulated clearly as he stared at Zhao Yanzi.
“Get lost!” Zhao Yanzi shouted angrily.
“I will come to find you at school tomorrow,” Zen Yitao turned to Hao Ren with the same expression.
The bus came at this moment.
Zhao Yanzi wasn’t in the mood to talk to Zeng Yitao any longer, so she stepped onto the bus. Compared with getting upset at Xie Yujia, Zhao Yanzi was more in a rush of getting rid of Zeng Yitao’s annoying face.
Hao Ren and Xie Yujia followed her onto the bus.
All the students from both the Middle School Department and the High School Department were stupefied…
“Zhao Yanzi went on the bus with her ‘boyfriend’ Hao Ren instead of getting a ride in Zeng Yitao’s Rolls-Royce?” they thought.
“Woah…” Another wave of discussion started.
In their opinion, Hao Ren from the City North First High School won in the first encounter with Zeng Yitao.
Zeng Yitao gritted his teeth with a gloomy face and said to Black Wolf, who was driving the vehicle, “Let’s go!”
He thought that the cheerful and charming Zhao Yanzi would be his since West Ocean proposed the marriage aggressively. However, Hao Ren appeared in their way, messing up the entire plan! The East Ocean Dragon Clan was going to let Zhao Yanzi marry a human for the reason of the lost Dragon Core!
How could Zeng Yitao not be mad seeing his future wife falling into another person’s hand?
Zhao Yanzi was the princess of East Ocean and a spoiled girl. The more she ignored him, the more Zeng Yitao wanted to get her!
“Uncle Black Wolf, investigate Hao Ren’s background carefully! I will make him kneel in front of me and beg!” Zeng Yitao knocked his fist heavily on the leather seat and said to the driver.
