Chapter 218 What were you just muttering about?
Song Yi stared at him and said, "You said you would never have any improper thoughts about Xiao Taohua again, otherwise we don't care who you are, we won't let you go even if you run to the capital!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it won't happen again. Actually, I was just saying it casually before, I didn't really think too much about it."
"Hmm? You think our Lin Xiaotao isn't good enough for you?"
"That's definitely not it, it's that I'm not good enough for Lin Xiaotao."
"Yes, you're definitely not good enough for her."
Qiu Zhengyu: ...
What kind of monsters are these people? Is it really necessary?
However, Qiu Zhengyu continued to smile: "I think so too."
"Not bad." Song Yi at least nodded, and Lin Xiaoguang had nothing more to say since Li Zhen and Song Yi had both agreed.
Of course, if Qiu Zhengyu ever does something to harm Xiao Taohua, Lin Xiaoguang will definitely take action without hesitation.
Although he was simple-minded, he could distinguish right from wrong. In his eyes, Xiao Taohua's family was his Achilles' heel.
"Can I leave now?" Qiu Zhengyu asked.
"Come on, come on, we're not restricting your behavior, why are you making such a fuss? You can leave whenever you want."
"Hehe, this is just politeness, it's a sign of respect for you all."
"Okay, see you later."
"See you later." Qiu Zhengyu breathed a sigh of relief as he turned to leave.
Thankfully, it was a close call.
However, this group of people is really interesting; they actually dared to threaten him.
Yes, this guy actually paid for it; it wasn't a fake.
"Li Zhen, are we just going to let it go like this?" Song Yi looked at Li Zhen.
“Didn’t you agree to it too?” Li Zhen glanced at him.
"Although I agreed, there's still a distance between us."
"It doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't do anything bad, we'll just treat him as a normal friend."
"Yeah, we should find fault with him when we have time. We can't just let it go like this."
"That's a good idea. Let's go find Little Peach Blossom and go for a stroll in a couple of days."
"black market?"
Li Zhen raised an eyebrow: "What do you think?"
"Okay, hurry up."
"Aren't you afraid anymore?"
"What's there to be afraid of? The higher-ups aren't objecting anymore. The black market will be legitimate soon. What danger could there be?"
"What are your thoughts?" Li Zhen knew there was more to Song Yi's words than met the eye.
"I can't hide it from you, I do have some ideas, but I still need to see."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. I'll join if I have time."
"Didn't you want to do it yourself?"
"You know?"
"I'm not stupid. You've been to the black market before. Now that the black market is like this, aren't you going to take action?"
"Alright then, let's each go about our own business. The world is changing too fast; we can't always rely on our parents. We need to take responsibility ourselves."
"I'm sure Master Li will be very pleased to hear you say that." Song Yi still remembered how Master Li chased after Li Zhen, well, it was a chaotic scene.
The vein on Li Zhen's forehead throbbed: "Are you sure you're not mocking me?"
"You figured it out? That's great, I didn't have to be so direct."
"Heh, you want to fight, huh?"
"No way! If we really fight, we'll just become a laughing stock. We're college students, after all. We can't resort to violence. That's so uncivilized."
"You even know what manners are?"
"Otherwise what?"
Seeing that the two were still arguing, Lin Xiaoguang quietly left.
"Lin Xiaoguang, where are you going!" Unexpectedly, the two cannon fodders were all against him.
"Looking for Little Peach Blossom."
"I'm going too."
"I'm going too."
The two immediately stopped arguing, and then each put their arms around Lin Xiaoguang's shoulders.
“Our little peach blossom is just so popular. So many people like her back home, and it’s the same in the capital.” Li Zhen grinned at Song Yi: “Some people will never have that chance in their lifetime.”
"Li Zhen, should I call Master Li and ask if you're dating anyone?"
Li Zhen choked for a moment.
"Heh, let's not hurt each other anymore. Given your current situation, let's stand together against outsiders and not let any Tom, Dick, or Harry get close to Little Peach Blossom."
"If you ask me, I don't know."
"You know? You'd be a fool to say that." Song Yi muttered under his breath.
"What were you just muttering?"
"What did I mutter? I didn't mutter anything."
"real?"
"Fake."
"Okay, you didn't complain."
He muttered to himself, "In ancient times, he would be a spoiled brat," but he spoke softly and Li Zhen didn't hear him.
"Little Peach Blossom, shall we go to the library together later?"
"No need, I'm waiting for someone."
"It must be Li Zhen and his friends, right? You guys have such a good relationship." Feng Ran said enviously.
Little Peach Blossom smiled.
"You're too quiet; don't let people bully you," Feng Ran warned.
"No, I won't." Little Peach Blossom felt confident that she wouldn't be bullied.
"You haven't seen enough yet. You'll know more later. But always be careful." Feng Ran really treated Xiao Taohua like a younger sister. She knew what people were saying, but in her eyes, Xiao Taohua was still a child, and dating should be left to nature.
"Yes, thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. Huang Ying and I will be leaving now."
Little Peach Blossom waved goodbye to the two of them.
"Why did you say all that? No matter what, Little Peach Blossom still has Li Zhen and the others." Huang Ying spoke only after the two had walked away.
"Of course I know, but it's always good to be vigilant about these things. Others can't be around all the time, so it's better to be vigilant than to be caught off guard."
"That makes sense, but aren't you afraid of offending people?"
"What do I have to offend anyone about? I'm just showing some concern."
"Fine, let them care as much as they want. It's just that there are quite a few guys at school who want to pursue Xiao Tao Hua lately."
"Ha, do you really think everyone else is blind? Everyone wants to chase after them. To put it bluntly, it's all about vanity."
"A young and beautiful female top scholar, especially one who scored near perfect marks, would be a source of pride to win over." Huang Ying sighed. From what she had heard, some people even considered divorcing their spouses to pursue other women, without even considering their own appearance. They were incredibly confident.
Feng Ran said sarcastically, "They're really confident."
"It's not confidence, it's arrogance." That's the kind of person Huang Ying hates the most.
However, the biggest difference between her and Feng Ran is that she doesn't meddle in other people's business, doesn't offend anyone, and won't say anything even if she knows something in her heart.
Feng Ran is actually similar to Huang Ying in personality, but Xiao Taohua is an exception. She treats her like a little sister, so she couldn't help but say a few more words. As for whether Xiao Taohua listens or not, that's her own business, and she won't say anything to annoy people.
Therefore, it's not without reason that the two became good friends.
They share the same values, have the same beliefs, and are very similar in their conduct.
There are far too many people like this in this era; they can't really be considered bad people.
Those who do bad things are the bad people. They neither actively did bad things nor sowed discord; they simply did their best. Such people are actually very good because they are the most genuine and pure.
But in some people's eyes, such people lack warmth and are not worth getting along with. They're like a double agent, pleasing neither side.
