Chapter 1084: Wouldn’t Affect the Time She Had After Cla.s.s to Think of Gu Qingcheng
“I won’t disturb you either! Don’t worry!” After Zhong Qingfei said that, he turned to speak to his friend, “Xiao Yuan, throw my book over to me!”
They attended the same basketball club, and when the other person threw over Zhong Qingfei’s book, his action when he caught the book looked very handsome. A bunch of girls started chattering about how handsome he was, and they then saw Zhong Qingfei putting one hand onto the desk as support and landing beside Yun Liuli with a leap, sitting there.
The girls gasped, and those who were bolder and who liked Zhong Qingfei started to move over shyly, sitting in front of him. They had completely forgotten that there was still a detestable Zhou Yuchen within a three-meter distance!
The girls opened up their books, occasionally turning back to throw glances at Zhong Qingfei, chattering non-stop. They kept on saying how compatible Zhong Qingfei and Yun Liuli were.
In the short period of time that it took for the professor to arrive at the cla.s.sroom, Yun Liuli had already heard the few girls sitting in the row in front of them coming up with stories of how Yun Liuli and Zhong Qingfei had gotten into a fight. They were saying that Yun Liuli deliberately sat next to Zhou Yuchen out of spite.
During cla.s.s, there was even a girl who turned and said to Zhong Qingfei in a soft voice, “Zhong Qingfei, good luck! We think you and G.o.ddess Liuli will end up together!”
Zhong Qingfei threw a sideways glance at Yun Liuli, who was resting her chin on her hand while paying attention to the cla.s.s. His lips curled up unknowingly, and he nodded.
The girl started another series of chattering with her friends after getting Zhong Qingfei’s reply.
Yun Liuli frowned, feeling displeased over being disturbed.
Although everyone else had isolated Yun Liuli back in middle school, her learning environment was still relatively quiet. To someone like Yun Liuli, a person who liked quiet, this was quite good.
However, ever since she enrolled in the university, things changed. Yun Liuli hadn’t gotten used to the feeling of being the center of attention and being discussed, especially when it was during cla.s.s. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t affected at all.
Yun Liuli always paid attention in cla.s.s, trying to grasp all the content taught by the teachers and professors so that it wouldn’t affect the time she had after cla.s.s to think of Gu Qingcheng. Such disturbances still affected Yun Liuli’s life.
Yun Liuli, who was resting her chin on her right hand, changed to the other hand, blocking the glances from Zhong Qingfei and the few girls who were seated on the left of the front row. Her brows furrowed tightly.
When Yun Liuli turned her head, she saw that Zhou Yuchen seemed to be looking at her through his thick fringe. He appeared very frantic to be caught in the act and almost wanted to bury his face into his book.
After cla.s.s ended, Yun Liuli packed up and left. She was in such a hurry that she forgot her water bottle on the desk.
Zhou Yuchen threw a glance at it, and his lips moved a little, but he still didn’t end up calling out to her. He just watched as Zhong Qingfei took her water bottle after she left.
After sitting there quietly for a while, Zhou Yuchen also collected his books, wanting to wait for everyone else to leave before he did.
Seeing that the students in his row had already left, Zhou Yuchen picked up his books and left. He had just gotten to the door when Zhong Qingfei stopped him.
“What did you say to Liuli to get her to sit with you every day? Did you say that everyone else doesn’t dare to get within three meters of you, so it’d be the quietest to sit by you?” Zhong Qingfei was harsh in his words toward Zhou Yuchen, having a hint of coldness in his voice.
He glared at Zhou Yuchen, wanting to see through Zhou Yuchen’s eyes through his fringe. However, Zhong Qingfei was unable to see anything even after squinting his eyes.
Zhou Yuchen pursed his lips tightly. His face, which was already overly pale to begin with… had a patch of bruises. Even though others couldn’t see his cold aura, he still revealed it unconsciously.
This coldness was unlike the hint of anxiety and panic he had when Yun Liuli was around. It was calm and aloof.
Zhong Qingfei’s friends leaned casually against the handrail in the corridor while waiting for him, chewing gum. When they saw Zhou Yuchen not saying a word, one of them went up to him, squinting his eyes. He kept one hand in his pocket as the other grabbed Zhou Yuchen’s collar. He then dragged the skinny Zhou Yuchen toward the staircase at the end of the corridor where n.o.body was going.
“Xiao Yuan!” Zhong Qingfei called out to the guy who was dragging Zhou Yuchen.
“Qingfei…” Zhong Qingfei’s friends pulled him back. “If you don’t beat that kind of trash into submission, he won’t know his worth. Let Xiao Yuan teach him a good lesson so that he won’t stay around Liuli and upset you!”
“That’s right. Moreover… Xiao Yuan beating Zhou Yuchen up is a matter between the two of them. We outsiders shouldn’t interfere!”
Zhong Qingfei frowned tightly, feeling a little hesitant.
Xiao Yuan dragged Zhou Yuchen to the staircase, and then pushed him into the wall.
Xiao Yuan stuffed both hands into his pockets as he chewed his gum and looked at Zhou Yuchen with a cold glance. “A beating isn’t enough? I told you to keep your distance from Yun Liuli! Don’t you understand that, monster?”
When Zhou Yuchen heard the word “monster”, his eyes twitched intensely. However, he continued to appear as if he was an emotionless mannequin as he leaned against the wall. He watched as Xiao Yuan walked up to him and patted his face. “Or do you want to try something even more intense?”
Zhou Yuchen held onto his books tightly, not saying a word.
Some of the members from the basketball team that were watching the fun followed them over, laughing and teasing Zhou Yuchen about how weak and useless he was.
Xiao Yuan looked at Zhou Yuchen with a glance that made it seem as if he was looking at something dirty. “In the future, keep your distance from Yun Liuli. Otherwise… I’ll break your legs! Do you hear me?”
“Xiao Yuan is asking you a question. Are you deaf?” One of the people watching the fun kicked Zhou Yuchen while keeping both hands in his pocket.
Zhou Yuchen’s fingers, which were holding tightly onto his books, turned very white. He kept his back straight as he stood there, not saying anything.
Yun Liuli, who had forgotten her water bottle, saw this scene when she came up. She saw Zhou Yuchen’s hands hanging down on both sides, and the hand that was clutching onto his books had obvious bruises. Even the green veins on the backs of his hands were popping up, but there wasn’t much change in his expression. She headed upstairs.
“We’re asking you a question! Speak up!” Another person grabbed onto Zhou Yuchen’s collar.
Zhou Yuchen continued to remain silent.
“d.a.m.n it! You don’t know what’s good for you!”
The guy who had grabbed onto Zhou Yuchen’s collar raised his fist and smashed down. However, he was stopped before his fist reached Zhou Yuchen’s face. The guy turned, feeling stunned…
Yun Liuli, who was frowning tightly, grabbed onto that guy’s wrist. She then dragged Zhou Yuchen behind her with her other hand before she let go of that guy’s wrist.
Zhou Yuchen’s throat rolled. He lowered his head and looked at Yun Liuli’s small hand that was holding onto his slender and fair wrist. His heart thumped very quickly.
“Liuli, stay out of this matter…” Xiao Yuan came forward and spoke up.
Yun Liuli’s brows furrowed even tighter. “Who are you?”
Yun Liuli wasn’t that good at remembering other people’s names and appearances.
Xiao Yuan was rendered speechless.
Zhong Qingfei, who was walking over slowly with his friends, was stunned when he saw Yun Liuli s.h.i.+elding Zhou Yuchen behind her.
