But he didn't expect that Li Junyang would actually be seen by someone?
"Although I knew this guy wasn't very responsible, he was still a bit too careless. How could he get caught red-handed? Now, no matter how much he tries to argue, he has to admit defeat. Sigh... Li Junyang, Li Junyang, why do you seem less clever than you were in the comics?"
Xia Che stroked his chin, watching the students chatting away as they gradually disappeared into the distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Li Junyang in the comics, if not flawless in his strategies, can at least be described as meticulous in every aspect.
There is no one who can make him suffer a loss.
Anyone who tries to outmaneuver Li Junyang will ultimately be outmaneuvered by him, losing both their wife and their army.
Having read the entire comic, Xia Che understood this point, which is why he remained vigilant and wary of Li Junyang.
Xia Che found it hard to believe that Li Junyang could do something like this: suddenly withdrawing from a competition and then being witnessed by someone in a bar, causing his reputation to plummet.
That's so irrational.
Let alone someone with a deep and cunning mind, even an honest person without any guile wouldn't do such a thing, right?
That's so stupid...
And it makes absolutely no sense.
"Could he have been provoked by something? That doesn't make sense... Didn't Shen Yanxin provoke him a long time ago? Why is he only reacting now?"
Xia Che tried to decipher Li Junyang's thoughts, but after a long while he couldn't come up with any clues, he had no choice but to give up.
All right……
It's really too difficult to understand the thoughts of such a high-level scumbag.
For some reason, Xia Che had a vague sixth sense that the reason Li Junyang acted so defensively was because of him...
In fact, Xia Che's premonition had already guessed the truth to a great extent.
Li Junyang's defenses were indeed broken because of Xia Che.
After learning Xia Che's true identity, Li Junyang was completely thrown off balance by the contrast between the yellow-haired man he used to look down on and the high and mighty young master of the Xia family.
He couldn't understand why someone like Xia Che could have a true identity far superior to his own.
Even though the Xia family is now in decline, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Li Junyang has no doubt that if Xia Che were to step forward and publicly raise his voice in Jiang City, he would receive a much stronger response than he, the so-called eldest son of the Li family.
As the former overlord of Jiang City, Xia Che's status is still top-tier even in the current circle of wealthy people in Jiang City.
He couldn't accept this fact.
Whenever he thinks about it, it's as if a flame is gnawing at his heart. The venomous snake of jealousy bites his heart, making it impossible for Li Junyang to treat it with a normal mind. This hellish situation leaves him unable to do anything but choose some quick and easy ways to vent his emotions in order to temporarily forget about it.
"Xia Che!"
Suddenly, a cheerful shout rang out, and then, not far from the stall, a beautiful figure appeared and instantly became the focus of the students' attention.
The newcomer was wearing a suitable and appropriate light blue dress, and an ordinary school uniform on top. However, the plain school uniform that would blend into the crowd on others unexpectedly shone with an undeniable brilliance on this person.
Shen Yanxin, the aloof and beautiful school beauty of Weiyang!
"Your breakfast."
Shen Yanxin skipped over and handed Xia Che a small plastic bag along with a cup of soy milk: "Medium spicy rice noodle rolls, two servings of pickled cowpeas, and a cup of unsweetened soy milk."
"Also, why are you eating such spicy food so early in the morning? Your stomach won't be able to handle it."
Shen Yanxin glared at Xia Che reproachfully.
"You know I have a strong palate, I can't eat a bland breakfast."
Xia Che shrugged and chuckled.
Seeing the two getting along so well, a group of students passing by exchanged glances, each seeing a meaningful look in the other's eyes.
The rumors were indeed true...
These two probably already had a romantic relationship established a long time ago, right?
Honestly, they managed to hide it so well...
An atmosphere of ambiguity and gossip swirled around, even casting a hazy, peach-colored glow over the bright sunlight.
"You can't eat such stimulating foods. You stay up late every day and smoke. If you don't control your diet, you'll easily run into problems. Your health is the most important thing."
Shen Yanxin said irritably, if she wasn't worried that Xia Che wouldn't be used to the sudden change in taste, she would have brought Xia Che a serving of the original, non-spicy version.
Eating something exciting is always better than not eating at all.
"Okay, okay, I know."
Xia Che touched his nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Shen Yanxin's nagging and chattering at this moment didn't evoke any dislike in people; instead, it was quite adorable, warming Xia Che's heart.
To passersby, this scene of the two together was simply interpreted as playful banter between a young couple.
—You've already bought breakfast for Xia Che, but you haven't come forward to clarify the rumors. What else is there to say?
They're definitely a couple!
Even if it's not, it must at least be the ambiguous stage.
Nobody's stupid.
If you try to define this relationship as friendship between friends, no one will buy it.
Just as everyone was quietly enjoying this unexpected encounter on their way to school, planning to tell their friends about it when they got back to school, they suddenly saw a white-haired creature radiating light running breathlessly from the other side.
"Xia Che!"
Chu Yuying cheered and, with the momentum of her running, pounced on Xia Che's arm, hanging on it like a delicate little girl ornament.
Under the sunlight, Chu Yuying's long, silvery-white hair seemed even whiter, making her fair skin appear even more ethereal. It made people realize for the first time that the phrase "glowing white" was not an exaggeration, but a fact.
As the saying goes, fair skin can cover up a hundred flaws. Moreover, Chu Yuying's features are already exquisite, and with her fair skin as an added bonus, she looks like an absolutely beautiful porcelain doll.
However, this porcelain doll, which could only be admired from afar and not touched, revealed a passion they had never seen before, with eyes only for Xia Che.
The students, who were silently watching, felt a slight jolt in their hearts.
They all shouted in unison, "Damn it!"
Is this Chu Yuying?
Is this the unattainable beauty of the second-year high school students?
She's completely lost her aloofness; she's just a clingy kitten now!
What exactly is going on?
Shen Yanxin is alright, after all, she had a rumored relationship with Xia Che before, and everyone has accepted it as they've been following the gossip.
