When Qiao Shengyu finished, he saw Yu Rui’s cold eyes, and couldn’t help but feel weak in his heart and scratched his head to change the subject, “So. Brother Yu, you and Pei An An…”
“I treat everyone who comes with doubts well, regardless of gender. There’s nothing special about it.” Yu Rui denied, then the conversation took a turn, “I remember you also said earlier that Xie Li was not to be provoked. Why?”
Qiao Shengyu replied subtly, “I only heard about a fight he had…anyway, Brother Yu, stay as far away from him as you can. He has a tricky temper and doesn’t mingle with us, ordinary students. I don’t know how he became infatuated with Pei An An, it’s also bad luck that you managed to offend him because of that.”
Yu Rui said nothing.
Qiao Shengyu added, “Since you have nothing with Pei An An, why don’t you clear it with Xie Li so he can go after her? Otherwise, you’d be doing him wrong, Brother Yu.”
“Hmm. I’ll think about it.”
In the end, Yu Rui didn’t mention the fact that Xie Li already had a girlfriend.
Regardless of whether Xie Li was erratic or mentally ill, after spending the last few days together, Yu Rui could no longer treat him as a stranger. At this moment, he didn’t know what was going on, so he could only hide it, as he didn’t want to provoke more rumors.
Before clearing up the gossip about the three of them, he felt that he should look for Xie Li and ask him about the matter first.
What Yu Rui did not expect was that after waiting all day, he did not meet Xie Li, but someone else.
Ye Mu Mu, who had just confessed to Yu Rui last week.
It was already the last class of the afternoon, and Yu Rui called Yu Li on his way back from the cafeteria before the evening study session as he was worried about her. He hung up after settling those matters.
Then Yu Rui went upstairs to the floor where class 10 was located and saw a crowd densely gathered in the hallway: the students seemed to be gathered around some lively scene, and there were loud and boisterous female voices coming from the center of the circle.
As the Class President, Yu Rui had no choice but to step forward, for he knew that something had happened in Class 10.
Before he could enter the circle, he heard a familiar voice.
“Daring to mess with someone I like, you have a lot of guts, don’t you?”
“Don’t talk nonsense… I don’t….”
“Everyone knows. Are you still pretending with me? You don’t know I have a strong hand until I hit you, do you?”
“….”
“Please step aside.” Yu Rui’s voice was clear and cold, very recognizable in the crowd.
When the students nearby heard this, someone turned his head and said, “Yu Rui is here.”

And the circle of people gave way with a clatter.

Ye Mu Mu had heard the “Yu Rui is here” and turned to look for him. When she met Yu Rui’s gaze, she smiled coldly, “Yu Rui, is it because of this one that you rejected me?”
Yu Rui had a headache. He wasn’t very good at dealing with girls, and when faced with the more difficult ones, it seemed that he was the one who didn’t have the upper hand no matter what.
But this situation in front of him, he couldn’t ignore for obvious reasons.
“This matter has nothing to do with Pei An An, rumors are just rumors.”
Yu Rui took off the headphone cord he had just used to talk to Yu Li on his cell phone and wrapped it around his index finger to put it away before looking up and smiling softly, “Let her go to class, and let’s talk. It’s not good to involve the innocent, Ye Mu Mu.”
There was something magical about Yu Rui when he was willing to talk to you quietly, even if it was just the word “Mm” or a name, it still gave the illusion that he already knew you well and was close to you.
This is common in both men and women, but it is particularly effective in Ye Mu Mu.
Her gaze shifted to the students around her and she coughed unconsciously before slightly loosening her grip on Pei An An’s neck, “Talk, talk about what? I wanted to talk to you last week, you didn’t, and you panic now when I find trouble with her, huh?”
After saying that, Ye Mu Mu gave Pei An An an unkind look.
Pei An An directed a helpless glance toward Yu Rui.
When their gazes met, Ye Mu Mu’s face sank again, “You still have the nerve to look at him. Do you think I won’t hit you?”
Ye Mu’s left hand grabbed Pei An An’s neck again and raised his right hand. Seeing that a slap was about to land, Yu Rui frowned and stepped forward to stop it.
However, the two friends who had come with Ye Mu Mu had already expertly stepped forward and stood side by side to block his way.
The students held their breath as they watched.
The less courageous students had already closed their eyes in fear.
“Plaff.”
The sound was much lighter than expected.
The timid students in the crowd of onlookers opened their eyes, only to see a figure almost ten centimeters taller than Yu Rui stop in front of them.
“… Xie Li!”
“Shit, why is he here?”
“I guess he heard that Pei An An was being bullied and rushed over to rescue her like a hero?”
“Yeah, Xie Li almost got into a fight with Yu Rui over Pei An An.”
“This is too exciting, isn’t it? It’s a romantic scene.”
“So jealous of Pei An An.”
“Me too. I’m so sour, lemon.”
“….”
In the middle of the students’ discussion, Xie Li had already stopped Ye Mu Mu’s hand from being pulled himself, pushing the person gently in the opposite direction from Yu Rui, making her stumble a little.
He then reluctantly withdrew his hand and raised his eyes impatiently, “For the last time, I have no qualms about hitting girls.”
“….!!”
The remaining two girls who stepped in front of Yu Rui immediately retreated half a meter.
This time, Ye Mu Mu, who had been pushed back a little, looked at Xie Li again and had long since lost the bravado she had last time. Instead, there was a bit more fear in the expression in her eyes.
“Xie Li, you, why do you still care about her?”
Xie Li laughed, “What do you care?”
“….”
“If you’ve had enough, go away.”
“….”
Everyone thought Ye Mu Mu would not give up, but to their surprise, after changing her face several times, she actually gritted her teeth, turned, and walked away.
The students looked at Xie Li in dismay.
Only then did Xie Li withdraw his gaze. He glanced sideways at Yu Rui, the corners of his mouth hooked into a teasing and provocative smile, “Class President, being harassed by a girl every day, are you okay?”
“….” Yu Rui almost tensed his expression when he saw Xie Li. He gritted his teeth in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended not to hear, “Thank you.”
Yu Rui coldly looked at the man, then turned to Pei An An, “Are you okay?”
Pei An An bit her lower lip and shook her head pallidly.
Xie Li’s expression cooled. He was standing behind Yu Rui and watching the two. With one hand, he pushed Pei An An away from Yu Rui.
“The person I saved, should you be taking care of her?”
“….”
Yu Rui frowned and turned to meet Xie Li’s eyes that held hostile intent.
Yu Rui became angry in his heart. This person was simply sick.
The hallway was even quieter than before.
The students watched the two in rapt attention, their eyes wishing that they could grow cameras in their hands to photograph the two of them. After all, these two always occupied the top spots since their freshman year of high school, plus they’re both top-notch attractive men: it’s a rare opportunity to see two such men in a fight that hasn’t happened in years.
And at that moment, the last thing the students wanted to hear was the sound of “disappointment” ringing in their ears, but Tian Xueqian appeared at the entrance of the staircase with his arms folded and asked with a sullen face, “What are you all doing here?”.
The students were surprised and, despite their reluctance, scattered like frightened animals.
Yu Rui came back to his senses and repressed his emotions. He gave Xie Li an indifferently cold look and turned to enter the classroom.
Xie Li looked at his back, eyes dark and deep.
Some of those who left looked at the center of the original conflict and jokingly whispered to their classmates, “That distance now, it’s either fight or kiss. Too bad it was all stopped by Old Tian.”
“Yu Rui and Xie Li stole the show, it’s something worth watching.”
“That’s right, I’m already anticipating how colorful our next two years of high school life will be.”
“This has to be some kind of realistic version of a romance novel, right? I’m so jealous of Pei An An.”
“Yeah…”
