Chapter 82 Beautiful and Materialistic School Belle—Human Nature Has Declined

Ever since Xiao Yanzhi started taking Yaoyao to class by bike, whenever he doesn't have classes, he will take the initiative to ride his bike to see Yaoyao, sometimes taking her to class, and sometimes accompanying her to the library.

Xiao Yanzhi would get up early every day to buy breakfast and deliver it to Yaoyao, rain or shine. He would prepare a different breakfast every day, and Yaoyao's most anticipated thing every morning was what kind of breakfast he would bring.

On Saturday, Yaoyao wanted to sleep in, but she woke up naturally and saw that it was just past seven o'clock.

"Ah..." Yao Yao was so angry that she pulled the blanket over her face with both hands and let out a long wail.

I'm so angry! The more classes I have, the harder it is for me to get up. But on my days off, when I can sleep in, I wake up so early!

No! I need to sleep a little longer! Yao Yao told herself this, turned over, closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep.

Even after what felt like an eternity, Yao Yao's mind remained perfectly clear, with absolutely no signs of sleepiness.

"Sigh!" Yao Yao sighed again.

At 7:15, Yao Yao reluctantly picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and found that her chat history with Xiao Yanzhi had stopped at last night's "goodnight." She then opened a short video app, casually scrolled through a few videos, and found them not very interesting.

Lying in bed until 7:30, Yao Yao tossed her phone aside, jumped out of bed, and muttered to herself, "It's been so long since I've had breakfast at the cafeteria, I'll go today!"

Because of Xiao Yanzhi, Yaoyao hasn't eaten breakfast at the cafeteria for several days. Because she wanted to sleep in, Yaoyao specifically told Xiao Yanzhi yesterday not to bring breakfast today, and to eat when they met.

Today is Saturday. I had made an appointment with the manager of the Chinese restaurant in advance. Yaoyao needs to go there to play the guzheng again today, so Xiao Yanzhi drove Yaoyao there.

Since she wasn't going to sleep in anymore, and the plans had changed, Yao Yao decided that she would buy breakfast for Xiao Yanzhi today.

Thinking that she would need to put on makeup when she got there, Yaoyao simply went out without any makeup, only applying a layer of sunscreen and a light-colored lipstick.

At eight o'clock, Yao Yao got ready and went out.

As luck would have it, just as Yaoyao stepped out of the dormitory building, she heard familiar voices ahead. It turned out to be her three former roommates, who were holding hands and chatting happily.

Wang Keyun said mockingly, "Look, there's no one downstairs. Did I tell you? Who would insist on bringing her breakfast every day? Does she deserve it?"

Li Zao: "How could someone like her be worthy of Captain Xiao!"

Wang Keyun: "What goes around comes around. I'll see how she gets out of this mess!"

Liu Ziwan: "Alright, stop talking. If she hears this, she'll have to call the police to back her up again. We can't compete with them!"

Wang Keyun's tone was very firm: "Go ahead and find her, what are you afraid of! Anyway, I've already been punished once, I'm not afraid of another one, as long as I don't have to drop out of school, I want to see how she can survive!"

Li Zaoyin chuckled, "The higher they were once praised, the harder they've fallen! People on Tieba have already placed bets, guessing whether Captain Xiao has given up this time or is unable to come due to other matters."

Liu Ziwan said quietly, "If you can't come today, you can be late tomorrow. If it happens too often, it will just be forgotten."

Wang Keyun smiled and agreed, "Wan-jie is right."

The three people in front of her were probably also going to the cafeteria. Yao Yao listened to their attacks on her as if she were listening to a comedy routine.

How ridiculous! The three of them spoke with great bravado, but they didn't dare mention her name from beginning to end. Wasn't it because they were still afraid of being caught by her? In the end, they were still afraid, but on the surface they always had to pretend to be very tough.

The cafeteria and the parking lot are in the same direction. Yao Yao had already spotted the man's familiar figure, and a good idea suddenly came to her mind!

These past few days, because he's been spending all his time with Yao Yao, Xiao Yanzhi has stopped going back to his dorm for lunch breaks and goes straight back to his apartment complex to stay in the evenings.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't tell Yao Yao that he wasn't used to sleeping in late and didn't need to get up early to buy breakfast today. After finishing his run, Xiao Yanzhi started washing up and getting ready, then drove to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers for Yu Yao.

After buying the flowers, it was still before eight o'clock, and the two agreed to meet at school at nine o'clock.

This was the first time Xiao Yanzhi had ever sent flowers. He wanted to surprise Yao Yao, but he hadn't had a chance to buy them in the past few days. Today was the perfect time.

Filled with excitement and nervousness, Xiao Yanzhi drove directly to the school after buying a large bouquet of 199 roses.

At eight o'clock, Xiao Yanzhi got out of the car, picked up the large bouquet of roses from the passenger seat, and walked steadily toward the girls' dormitory with a bright smile.

By this time, someone had already seen the scene, secretly took a picture and uploaded it, injecting even more boiling water into the already heated discussion on the forum!

On a November morning, the autumn wind brought a chill, and fallen leaves drifted down. A tall, robust man, dressed in a black trench coat, held a bouquet of vibrant red roses in his arms. His tanned, serious face beamed with a happy smile.

Holy crap! That stalker's face is unbearable to look at! Give me back our tough Captain Xiao!

[I told you Captain Xiao does care! He just missed bringing breakfast for one day, and these vile bastards are already spreading rumors! See? Haters! Captain Xiao went to buy roses! Open your dog eyes and look! What's Captain Xiao carrying in his arms?!]

[Hey hey, the school beauty just went out too! I bet they made plans!]

Why aren't the haters jumping around anymore?

[What I want to say is that it seems like Captain Xiao drove into the school! It was a Mercedes-Benz G-Class! It looked very familiar, but I didn't have time to take a picture!]

[Same as the comment above, I have a bold guess...]

At this moment, Xiao Yanzhi was lost in thought, imagining Yaoyao's various reactions upon seeing the bouquet of flowers. As he thought about it, he seemed to see the figure he had been longing for.

Xiao Yanzhi stopped, shook his head slightly, and looked to the left again, meeting a pair of bright, sparkling eyes. Just as he had expected, Yaoyao's eyes were filled with joy.

"Yaoyao!" Xiao Yanzhi called out to her loudly, holding up the roses in his arms like a child asking for a reward.

Wang Keyun and the other two were still spouting all sorts of unpleasant and jealous words when they were suddenly startled by the loud words "Yaoyao".

The three men looked grim and stopped in their tracks, staring at the man across from them who was holding roses and smiling broadly—one of the people they were talking about.

Of course, the man's gaze wasn't on them. The three of them simultaneously realized something, their bodies stiffened, and they didn't turn around.

"Xiao Yanzhi, I already said we'd meet at nine o'clock, why are you here so early!" Yao Yao said coquettishly, feigning a domineering tone.

Xiao Yanzhi strode over, and the three of them felt a gust of wind brush past them, along with a man's voice: "Because I wanted to see you sooner!"

Wang Keyun and the other two: "..."

Liu Ziwan tugged at the sleeves of the two men, raised her eyelids, and the other two immediately reacted, lifting their legs at the same time, wanting to leave.

"Wait." A voice that the three of them knew all too well came from behind them. The three of them obeyed without thinking and stopped in their tracks.

Holding the roses, Yaoyao walked up to the three of them and said with a half-smile:

"What, have the three of you still not realized your mistakes? You think being punished is unfair to you? I may not know what my future will be like. But if you three continue to be unable to distinguish right from wrong, are consumed by jealousy, and have foul mouths, you will definitely not live a decent life! People like you, full of malice, are the ones who deserve the cycle of karma, and retribution is always due to cause and effect!"

Xiao Yanzhi didn't understand why Yao Yao was talking to others at first, but after hearing what she said, he immediately understood the identities of the three people. He immediately stood behind Yao Yao and said firmly, "If I hear the three of you gossiping behind my back again, it won't be as simple as just being punished!"
