“It’s from Gonggang, that explains it.” Su Xiao suddenly interrupted Shen Linyue’s thoughts.
The main issue is that the plot she remembered didn't mention any conflict between this group of sports students and He Xiao.
Shen Linyue looked at Su Xiao and asked, "Do you have any intelligence?"
Knowing that she had only recently transferred here and wasn't very familiar with forums, Su Xiao recounted He Xiao's past deeds.
It turns out that one day, a photo was suddenly posted on the forum showing He Xiao throwing a boy over his shoulder. That boy was the leader of a class at Gonggang Private School, who was even more influential than He Xiao in the school. He had heard the rumors about He Xiao and wanted to cause him trouble so that people would know who was really powerful.
However, He Xiao didn't take him seriously at all. After he kept nagging for a long time, He Xiao finally couldn't stand it anymore and used an over-the-shoulder throw to shut him up.
It was this picture that made He Xiao a legend in Taipei.
The group from Gonggang, having lost face, were naturally resentful and would come to cause trouble for He Xiao every now and then.
Shen Linyue was slightly surprised: "Then they really are quite persistent. Why don't they put that same perseverance into their studies?"
As she spoke, she shook her head. Since it wasn't mentioned in the book, she figured it was probably a minor plot point, so Shen Linyue didn't pay much attention to it.
Su Xiao found it amusing to see her pretending to be mature again.
"Ah Yue, why do you worry about these things every day? It's one thing to worry about He Xiao, but now you're worrying about other people too."
Shen Linyue paused slightly, blinking innocently: "Really? I was just expressing my feelings."
Su Xiao shook her head, pressed herself against her, and the next second she met Jiang Zhixing's silent eyes. She suddenly paused, and when she wanted to look again, the other party looked away.
That's strange; it was probably just a casual glance from the class monitor.
...
As Shen Linyue had predicted, He Xiao completely disregarded the group from Gonggang after hearing Gu Yi'an's words.
She tossed a bottle of water to Gu Yi'an, and seeing him chattering on and on, said, "Have you said enough? If you have, I'm leaving."
In his other hand, he was carrying a large pile of snacks that Shen Linyue had personally selected.
Gu Yi'an noticed and his expression was indescribable: "Do you know that rumors about the two of you have started circulating wildly at school again recently?"
He Xiao frowned: "What's gotten into you? All you do is stare at me all day long. Is it another time that Jiang Zhixing bought articles to smear me?"
He thought it was quite possible.
"I don't know. Right now, everyone in the school is saying that you're Yue-jie's simp. You go to the convenience store every few days and buy a whole bunch of stuff." Gu Yi'an shook his head.
He Xiao: ...
He wanted to refute it, so he looked at the bag in his hand.
Oh, it seems that's really the case.
He remained silent for a long time, then curled his lips into a smile: "Then you should give me a reply. What business is it of theirs if I run errands for my aunt?"
"Hey, I know you and Sister Yue are siblings..." Gu Yi'an paused, then suddenly looked at him, his expression twisted: "Huh? Huh??"
"What did you say? What did you just say? Aren't you siblings?" Gu Yi'an was about to explode.
He Xiao looked at his shocked expression with disdain: "Do we look alike?"
Gu Yi'an's mouth was agape enough to fit a duck egg. After a long while, he finally digested everything and nodded.
“Yes, you two look alike from many angles,” he said honestly.
He Xiao frowned, wondering if it really looked that similar.
Then she thought of what Shen Linyue had said a while ago, and her feelings about how she and her mother both looked like her grandmother faded.
"Nonsense, we're related by blood, of course we look alike. I'm leaving." He turned and walked away.
Realizing what was happening, Gu Yi'an quickly caught up with him and asked, "Should we respond to Gonggang? Or should we just leave it as it is?"
He Xiao said calmly, "Let them do what they want. I can't be bothered with them."
Gu Yi'an wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he realized it made a lot of sense. What level was his boss, and what level was the opponent?
Why should we let them see us whenever they want?
"Alright, I'll have someone keep an eye on them later."
"Um."
...
They don't have evening classes on Fridays, so they can leave school a few hours earlier, but today their driver had something to do and couldn't pick them up on time.
While waiting for He Liyu to send Uncle Liu to pick them up, the four of them had only walked a short distance from the school gate when they were blocked by several tall and strong boys.
It's late autumn, and the daytime temperature is only a few degrees Celsius at most, yet these people are still wearing only a single layer of clothing, and some are even exposing their arms.
Those muscular arms pierced straight into their eyes.
Shen Linyue glanced at it and then shrank her face into her clothes. It looked cold. It's so good to be young.
"He Xiao, long time no see." The one in the lead was a man with a long, thin face, his single eyelids staring defiantly at He Xiao.
He Xiao frowned, glanced at the group of people, and asked, "Who are you?"
The thin-faced man was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, jumping up and down in anger: "He Xiao, don't you dare disrespect your grandfather!"
"Oh, my grandfather died, and you want to go and be with him?" He Xiao said indifferently without even blinking.
Slim-faced man: ...
This is an utter disgrace! He Xiao must have done it on purpose! He's deliberately pretending not to know them to provoke him!
Gu Yi'an, who was standing next to them, recognized the people at a glance. At the same time, he also noticed that there were several unfamiliar boys with overly mature faces following behind them.
He whispered a reminder: "Boss, this is the group of people from Gonggang that I mentioned at noon who wanted to cause trouble. This skinny guy is their boss."
He Xiao suddenly realized and looked at the thin-faced man: "So it was you."
The thin-faced man straightened his back again, raising his chin and looking down at everyone with disdain: "That's right, I'm just asking if you dare to accept my challenge. I'll give you time to call in reinforcements."
Unfortunately, he wasn't as tall as He Xiao, and it looked rather comical when he raised his chin and looked down at people with his nostrils.
To his surprise, He Xiao didn't take him seriously at all. His expression remained unchanged throughout. He glanced at the time and said, "I won't answer. My time is precious."
The meaning is self-evident; talking to him is a waste of time.
The thin-faced man laughed angrily, feeling that He Xiao was definitely provoking him on purpose and disregarding him.
His small eyes swept over the people following behind him, and he felt a little more confident.
"He Xiao, I'm only giving you time to call in reinforcements because of the rules of the underworld. Don't push your luck. A few of you against a group of us won't get you anywhere." His gaze swept over the two delicate-faced girls, and his eyes lit up especially when he saw the girl next to He Xiao.
He Xiao noticed his malicious gaze, his brows furrowed, and a chill settled in his eyes: "If you look at me again, I'll gouge your eyes out."
The thin-faced man was taken aback, then chuckled: "Wow! It seems the rumors are true after all. You're a sissy slave, huh? Hehe."
Shen Linyue, who had been silent all along, picked up her phone at this moment, revealing a delicate and beautiful face with clear and bright eyes.
She looked at the thin-faced man sincerely and said, "Could you repeat what you said last time?"
"He Xiao is a sister-obsessed man?" The thin-faced man thought she had finally seen his heroic figure, and couldn't help but smile wickedly.
Shen Linyue shook her head: "One more sentence."
The thin-faced man thought for a moment and repeated, "The rules of the underworld...?"
"Oh, thank you for your cooperation. It's been recorded, and the police have been notified." Shen Linyue smiled brightly.
