Yan Bo is twenty years old, so she had a preconceived notion that all twenty-year-old boys should be similar to Yan Bo, always calm and composed, and confident.
In fact, men like Yan Bo are a rare breed.
Or rather, he is the one standing at the top of the pyramid, while the ordinary boy next to him represents those at the bottom of the pyramid, and is naturally incomparable to Yan Bo.
Tong Xiaohuai, however, was unaware of the problem. She secretly found it amusing, glanced at the boy whose face was flushed, and then turned her attention back to her book.
After that day, the rumors about the most aloof and beautiful flower among the new students that year became more and more fantastical and mysterious.
Some say that Tong Xiaohuai is so aloof and unapproachable that she doesn't even bother to say a word to anyone.
Some say that Tong Xiaohuai is beautiful, but her heart is cold and she is not warm. No matter how powerful or enthusiastic a person is, they cannot warm her heart.
But in reality, they didn't understand Tong Xiaohuai at all. The fierceness and wildness hidden in her bones were probably even more formidable than many hot-blooded young men.
Tong Xiaohuai didn't care about these rumors at all. It wasn't until these boys who wanted to conquer the unattainable beauty appeared around her more and more frequently that she belatedly realized that she wasn't being treated as someone to be pointed out and shunned at school, but rather, she seemed to be quite popular.
That afternoon, after finishing her class, she hurriedly stuffed her books and notes into her backpack and rushed out of the classroom because she had made an appointment with Uncle Ming to go and check on the renovation of the sauna.
Li Lin's proposal about the sauna had finally been approved by Tong Xiaohuai, and after reaching an agreement with the decoration company, today was the day for the decoration company to start work.
As the eldest son, Tong Xiaohuai naturally had to go to the scene to show his respect for Li Lin.
She walked out of the classroom with her backpack on her back. A tall, thin boy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a bouquet of red roses in his hand.
"Miss Tong, hello, my name is Zeng Xianghuai. May I ask if we can be friends?"
This guy was clearly more experienced than the others who just tried to flirt with her from the side of the seat. Instead of offering drinks or bread, he gave her roses, which most girls would like.
Tong Xiaohuai rarely paid attention to others, not because of arrogance, but more because she wanted to avoid trouble. At the same time, she didn't want to give others the opportunity to hurt her.
The young man then politely asked to be friends, and she naturally couldn't refuse. She accepted the flowers, but before she could say anything, her phone rang.
Looking at the incoming call, it was Uncle Ming. He must have been getting impatient.
She waved her phone at the boy and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, my family is waiting for me downstairs. Let's talk again later."
After jogging a few steps, Tong Xiaohuai turned around and smiled at the boy named Zeng Xianghuai, "Thank you for the flowers, they're very beautiful!"
After she disappeared into the stairwell, the boy clenched his fist happily and shouted, "Yay!"
Who sent the flowers?
Tong Xiaohuai got into the car with the bouquet in her arms, and Uncle Ming frowned and asked.
“A male classmate…” Tong Xiaohuai had been in a good mood these past few days, seemingly oblivious to Uncle Ming’s furrowed brows, and answered honestly.
Uncle Ming's brows furrowed even more deeply. "Xiao Huai, you need to be careful..."
Uncle Ming understood, of course, that someone with Tong Xiaohuai's looks and demeanor wouldn't be well-received at university. But at the same time, he worried that other enemies might use this innocent relationship to get close to Tong Xiaohuai.
After all, university is not as easy to control as primary and secondary school. Even with disguised bodyguards, protecting Tong Xiaohuai is much more difficult than in primary and secondary school.
Therefore, the most important thing is that Tong Xiaohuai himself always maintains a sense of vigilance.
"Uncle Ming, I know! Even if you don't mention it, I will always pay attention to the people around me."
For someone like Tong Xiaohuai, being wary of others is almost an instinct.
However, based on the information she sensed from her instincts, the boys who had tried to flirt with her in the past few days, including Zeng Xianghuai just now, were simply attracted to her and had no other malicious intent.
Uncle Ming wished she would dress up as a boy, so that there would be less trouble.
Uncle Ming looked at his beautiful young girl, who was like a lotus emerging from the water, and thought to himself.
Tong Xiaohuai, who had originally planned to meet with the construction supervisor of the renovation company at the sauna to get to know the situation, was quite surprised to see Yan Bo at the sauna.
"Yan Bo? What are you doing here?"
Yan Bo had originally intended to give Tong Xiaohuai a surprise, but when he saw her enter holding a bouquet of bright red roses, he was so startled that he forgot his original intention and stared intently at the red roses in her hand, at a loss for words.
The construction supervisor didn't recognize Tong Xiaohuai. Hearing her address Yan Bo by his first name, and with Yan Bo's expression being somewhat indescribable, he couldn't help but look at the two of them curiously.
"Manager Liu, this is our young lady."
Li Lin, who followed them in, quickly introduced them.
"Miss, this is Supervisor Liu, the engineering supervisor."
Logically speaking, the Tong family owns many businesses, so there's really no need for the eldest son to personally supervise the renovation of a sauna.
Therefore, when Manager Liu heard Li Lin's introduction, he was truly taken aback and quickly reached out his hand, "Tong Xiaohuai, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
He was first taken aback by the youth and good looks of the newly appointed leader of the Tong family. Then, looking at the Third Young Master Yan standing next to him, who had been very amiable before but had suddenly turned cold and domineering, he seemed to understand some of the inside story and wisely withdrew his hand quickly.
After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with the supervisor, Tong Xiaohuai finally turned her attention back to Yan Bo.
"Yanbo, what are you doing here? Did you come to see me?"
Tong Xiaohuai's attention was mainly focused on Manager Liu, so she didn't notice Yan Bo's obviously cold expression.
Turning around and meeting his cold expression, my heart skipped a beat.
Yan Bo's gaze first swept over the bouquet of bright red roses in her hand, and then settled on her face.
"This renovation company is a partner of Yanhuang."
As for how they cooperated, only Yanbo and the owner of the decoration company knew.
Even Yan Bo's special assistant, Di Xu, was somewhat puzzled by this collaboration.
Tong Xiaohuai also had a lot of questions, but she was too embarrassed to investigate the details. After all, it was someone else's company's business, and she had no right to find out.
"Oh... so in that case, we're considered indirect partners?"
Yan Bo did not deny her statement and nodded.
"Yes, you could say that."
