Chapter 394 He is no match at all
rising. The entire office was quiet as a pin could be heard when it dropped.Su Han had already entered a state of meditation; the blue smoke from the incense burner passed in front of her and then slo...Chapter 394: Not even a Match...
The night was as tranquil as water.
Bathed in the campus lights, the high-altitude darkness resembled black silk gauze, quiet and gentle.
Xie Yujia wore a long shirt-style sundress, paired with black knee-high socks and blue canvas shoes, standing at the school's entrance.
Outside the main gate of the campus was a small square filled with various private cars or taxis. Students heading to the city for shopping or dining often gathered here to carpool.
Xie Yujia stood beside the four golden characters "East Sea University," and the light from the ground lamps illuminating these characters cast her in a dreamy light.
Therefore, students coming here to catch rides, whether male or female, would glance at Xie Yujia waiting there with curiosity, wondering which handsome guy or lady friend she was waiting for.
A taxi braked sharply at the school gate, and out came a pretty young woman.
This petite beauty wore a black little dress and gray pleated skirt, exuding sweetness in her overall outfit. The half-length skirt elongated her legs slightly, adding an element of allure to her appearance.
The yellow ground lamp highlighted this small beauty as if she were stepping onto the stage, leaving people amazed by her stunning presence.
When these two beauties, one tall and the other petite, stood together, they formed a sense of time-crossing spatial beauty.
"Hey, where did Uncle go" The young woman rushed to Xie Yujia's side and asked rather rudely.
"I have no idea where he went," Xie Yujia replied coolly.
There was no doubt that this young beauty was Zhao Ranzǐ. She had said she wanted to catch up on her studies with Xie Yujia, and Zhao Hongyu confirmed it over the phone before letting her out.
"Hmph, you must know," Zhao Yanzǐ narrowed her eyes and looked at Xie Yujia with a disbelieving gaze.
This kind of look was just like how the head wife in an ancient mansion would interrogate a junior wife.
However, no matter how she looked at it, Xie Yujia seemed to be older than Zhao Yanzǐ and more composed.
Zhao Yanzǐ saw that her "killer gaze" had no effect, so she turned to ask Xie Yujia, “Where’s Xiaobai”
"Here." Finally, Xie Yujia answered Zhao Yanzǐ and pointed at the grass beside her.
The grass rustled, and Xiaobai happily ran out from it, wagging its bottom. Looking carefully, there was a yellow object at the root of the "東海大學" (East China University) character in the lights' reflection, making it almost look like a "太" (Tai) character.
Yet, Xiaobai shamelessly jumped up lightly and leaped towards Zhao Yanzǐ's arms.
Zhao Yanzǐ naturally guessed what Xiaobai had just done, so she hastily avoided it.
Xiaobai missed once, landed on the ground, wagged its tail, and pounced again at Zhao Yanzǐ.
"You stink, Xiaobai!" Zhao Yanzǐ quickly stopped Xiaobai with both hands.
“…”
Xiaobai felt wronged, curled up its white tail, and crouched on the ground.
In this dim light, neither of them noticed that the pile below the "大" (Da) character was quickly melting. The surrounding grass was rapidly growing, almost covering half of the "大" character.
"You're going to the fifth level of heaven, right" Xie Yujia looked at Zhao Yanzǐ and asked.
"I was looking for the uncle, but since he's not here, let's go play on the fifth floor then," Zhao Yanzi said nonchalantly.
"Mm-hmm, Hao Ren told me to keep an eye on you, so I'll accompany you up there," Xie Yujia replied.
Zhao Yanzi cast a discontented glance at Xie Yujia but didn't dare to speak too harshly. She knew that even her own parents treated Xie Yujia politely; the girl had an extremely powerful mentor and was also a formidable alchemist.
"Little White!" Xie Yujia called out to Little White who was rolling around on the ground, throwing a tantrum.
Seeing Xie Yujia's gaze, Little White knew that her strategy of rolling on the ground wasn't working anymore. She obediently got up from the floor and walked in front of Xie Yujia in just a few steps.
"Where are we going" Zhao Yanzi asked Xie Yujujia.
"Do you want to fly here" Xie Yujia looked at the cars and students near the school's main gate.
"Hmph," Zhao Yanzi pouted slightly, showing her displeasure.
Xie Yujia didn't say much more; she just led Zhao Yanzi into the campus through the main entrance.
The East Sea University at night was very quiet. Occasionally, some couples would walk hand in hand past Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi turned to look at the student couple walking by, feeling a bit suspicious—did Hao Ren and Xie Yujia also take evening walks like this
At this thought, she felt an unnamed anger well up inside her.
Little White walked in front of them, sometimes running ahead several meters and then stopping to wait for a few seconds. It was quite mischievous; its four golden legs seemed like small golden lotus flowers, supporting its delicate white body as it moved fast and slow through the night on campus.
Xie Yujia walked slowly, without haste or hesitation.
Zhao Yanzi turned to look at Xie Yujia and suddenly noticed how beautiful she looked under the campus lights. But Xie Yujia was so quiet that it didn't provoke any temper in her.
The two of them walked step by step deeper into the school grounds, and as Zhao Yanzi walked, she suddenly felt a strong desire for university life.
"Shouldn't there be no homework at universities" Zhao Yanzi asked all of a sudden.
"There is still some homework in universities. Some classes are quite difficult too; if you don’t study seriously, you might fail them," Xie Yujia replied.
“Oh…” Zhao Yanzi pouted and didn't ask any more questions.
Xie Yujia continued to walk at a steady pace. After following for a few steps, Zhao Yanzi thought about it and asked again, “You were really the top of our grade before”
"I was once the number one in some exams," Xie Yujia didn’t deny.
"Then why aren't you the branch secretary" Zhao Yanzi continued to ask.
According to Zhao Yanzi's thinking, outstanding students were either class representatives or branch secretaries. If they were girls, they usually became branch secretaries who collected membership fees, organized extracurricular activities, and convened meetings of League members.
"Because when I was in middle school, all I wanted to do was focus on studying and didn't want to be involved in other matters..." Xie Yujia suddenly glanced at Zhao Yanzi as she spoke. "Did you ask around about me"
Zhao Yanzi's mouth slowly curled up: “I wasn’t specifically asking; I just asked casually a few questions.”
She caught a glimpse of Xie Yujia with the corner of her eye and became slightly more cautious.
Xie Yujia was beautiful, intelligent, gentle, and considerate. All the teachers who had taught her left an extremely good impression on them, and there were no records of campus romances in the past; many boys had pursued her...
A profound sense of crisis suddenly rose within Zhao Yanzi's heart…don’t give up, coming to the class during break times or finding her on the playground during PE classes. Especially those from senior high school—they go straight up to Zhao Yanzi in person; we can't...
