After all, both of them lived in luxury and had an aura and temperament that ordinary girls couldn’t match.
With their family backgrounds, they exuded an air of n.o.bility, making most people keep their distance.
Given Zhao Wan Jun and Sun Jing’s status, ordinary boys wouldn’t dare to confess their feelings, let alone speak more than necessary.
“Sigh, let’s leave it for another time…” Liu Si Yu understood that only when Zhao Yu returned to their cla.s.s’s small group would her advantage as the cla.s.s beauty become apparent.
After all, beauty is relative. Compared to Zhao Wan Jun and Sun Jing, she felt inferior, but the other girls in her cla.s.s, she was quite confident!
“Ugh, maybe I should just wait until Zhao Yu is with Huo Li Juan and then take the opportunity to chat…”
She thought to herself, considering she was prettier than Huo Li Juan, if Zhao Yu was okay with Huo Li Juan hanging around, he wouldn’t mind her, Liu Si Yu, approaching.
This way, there might be a chance!
With this thought, Liu Si Yu didn’t humiliate herself and instead turned and walked away.
“She didn’t go…”
“This girl at least knows her place!”
“Indeed, she knows it is out of her league…”
Liu Si Yu wasn’t as agitated as Qu Xiao Xiao and even agreed with them internally.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought about taking advantage of the moment when Zhao Yu was with Huo Li Juan.
“Huo Li Juan, tell us, why did Zhao Yu left a Ape Claw Beast for you yesterday?!”
“Yeah, do you two have some secret we don’t know about?!”
Many girls in Cla.s.s 13 of Art looked at Huo Li Juan with envy.
Huo Li Juan basked in the attention, loving the feeling of being the center of attention, shining brightly.
She smiled and feigned ignorance, “Not at all, we’re just ordinary cla.s.smates helping each other!”
“Ordinary cla.s.smates, huh? Why doesn’t Zhao Yu help us? He specifically gave you the Ape Claw Beast to make you a stronger fighter!”
The cla.s.smates around her looked skeptical.
“Spill it, are you and Zhao Yu secretly together?!”
“Tsk tsk, our cla.s.s’s Zhao Yu is the dream of every girl in the school, Huo Li Juan. You’re contributing to our cla.s.s by not letting this ‘manr’ flow to outsiders!”
Huo Li Juan smiled and remained silent, pretending to hide the truth, not revealing anything.
Her demeanor easily led people to mistakenly think they were indeed a couple.
“Nonsense, are you guys crazy?!”
“Did Zhao Yu say who his girlfriend is?!” Qu Xiao Xiao could not stand it anymore and scolded angrily.
“Do you realize the impact such slander can have on Zhao Yu’s reputation?!”
These words made many faces in the crowd turn sour.
“Qu Xiao Xiao, we were just joking around, don’t be angry…”
“Yeah, it’s all in good fun…”
Many cla.s.smates, aware that Qu Xiao Xiao was Zhao Yu’s childhood friend, didn’t dare to provoke her and tried to appease her with kind words.
Qu Xiao Xiao, with a cold expression, retorted, “Don’t make such jokes in the future…”
This response left everyone feeling awkward, thinking it best to stay out of such matters in the future.
Qu Xiao Xiao, still feeling resentful, turned to Huo Li Juan and lashed out, “Huo Li Juan, as a girl, can’t you be more selective?!”
“What are you talking about?!”
Not only had this woman spoiled her plans, but now she dared to insult her?!
“Are you sick? Others might tolerate you, but I certainly won’t…”
Qu Xiao Xiao didn’t expect such a strong reaction from Huo Li Juan, which only fueled her further, “You and w.a.n.g Zi Jun are ambiguously involved. How dare you ride on Zhao Yu’s coattails?!”
“You’re the one who’s sick! w.a.n.g Zi Jun and I are just friends…”
Huo Li Juan was angry but, remembering Qu Xiao Xiao’s status as Zhao Yu’s childhood friend, was unsure of her standing in his heart and refrained from escalating the confrontation.
“Hmph, Qu Xiao Xiao, let me remind you, I am now a three-time enhancer. If you continue to talk nonsense, I’ll shut you up by force…”
w.a.n.g Zi Jun, who had been out on patrol, returned and saw Huo Li Juan was arguing with Qu Xiao Xiao. He quickly intervened to calm things down.
Others also helped to separate the two, slightly easing the tense atmosphere in the cla.s.s.
w.a.n.g Zi Jun, looking at an irate Huo Li Juan, inquired, “Ah Juan, what happened? Why are you clashing with Qu Xiao Xiao?”
“That idiot woman…”
Huo Li Juan started to retort but, remembering Qu Xiao Xiao’s insinuations about her unclear relationship with w.a.n.g Zi Jun, felt uncomfortable.
“Just stay away from me!”
After saying this, she retreated to the other side of the room.
w.a.n.g Zi Jun scratched his head, puzzled about how he had offended Huo Li Juan.
Instead of following her, he asked another cla.s.smate about the situation.
“Hey, it’s about last night. Remember Zhao Yu defeated an Ape Claw Beast and gave it to Huo Li Juan, making her an enhancer?”
“Everyone is speculating whether Zhao Yu and Huo Li Juan are being together…”
“And guess what, Qu Xiao Xiao, out of nowhere, starts berating everyone. Huo Li Juan didn’t take her c.r.a.p, and they ended up in a quarrel…”
So that’s what happened!
w.a.n.g Zi Jun suddenly understood why Huo Li Juan was upset with him.
“w.a.n.g Zi Jun, aren’t you pursuing Huo Li Juan? Do you know what’s going on between her and Zhao Yu?!”
“Hey, it’s just cla.s.smates helping each other out, right?!” He chuckled, not revealing that he was the one who facilitated the arrangement behind the scenes.
After all, without him, Zhao Yu would never have helped Huo Li Juan.
However, he chose not to disclose this, knowing Huo Li Juan valued her pride.
“Besides, Zhao Yu is now the talk of the school. Even Zhao Wan Jun approached him for a chat…”
Having just returned from outside, he had witnessed Zhao Wan Jun and Sun Jing’s att.i.tudes towards Zhao Yu.
Far from being jealous, he felt relieved. With such outstanding girls around Zhao Yu, he was sure Zhao Yu wouldn’t pay much attention to Huo Li Juan..
