As soon as the words fell, Yan Xi suddenly rushed towards the crowd and took two quick steps, raising his foot to kick the phone out of the other person's hand.
The phone made a crisp sound as it dropped to the ground, right beside Yan Xi's foot.
"You!" The other person was startled.
Yan Xi glanced sideways and saw that the phone's screen was clearly in camera mode.
"It's you again?" Ji Yao recognized the middle-aged man's face and was surprised.
"Do you know each other?" Yan Xi asked, his gaze fixed on the middle-aged man in front of him.
The man wore a cap, had heavy dark circles under his eyes, a scruffy beard beneath his eyes, and an untidy yellow plaid shirt. He looked emaciated, and there was a sour smell about him.
[This guy has poor taste, but the phone is not bad. The picture is quite clear.]
Ji Yao's expression suddenly turned grim.
"He's a stalker and a pervert." Ji Yao turned her head away, seemingly unwilling to look at him any longer. She tugged at Yan Xi's sleeve, hoping that they would leave together quickly.
"We should call the police," Yan Xi suggested, considering the crowded street and the presence of many students passing by.
"It's useless... Let's go," Ji Yao's face turned pale.
"Yao Yao... I'm your big brother for life! Yao Yao, I love you!" The man saw Ji Yao about to leave and a look of madness flashed in his eyes. He rushed over and grabbed Ji Yao's hand.
[Why does it seem like all the men here have a habit of grabbing hands as soon as they can?]
"Let go of me!"
"Let her go."
The two girls spoke in unison.
Yan Xi raised her foot fiercely, stomping on the man's phone, then tore open a bottle of yogurt and poured it directly onto his face.
The next moment,
"Ah! Ah!" The man cried out as he writhed on the ground.
???
"Yan Xi, let's go!" Ji Yao's urgent voice came through.
It turned out that Ji Yao had just attacked the man's vulnerable area, also known as the "family jewels."
Yan Xi seemed to hear the sound of the man's "jewels" shattering.
[Damn, Ji Yao is ruthless! I feel sorry for that guy with a life sentence!] Pandora commented sarcastically.
Ji Yao grabbed Yan Xi's hand and they ran wildly through the streets.
Feeling the pain in her wrist from the injury once again, Yan Xi was stunned.
[So girls have this habit too.]
[Doesn't this indicate a sudden development of feelings? They're already holding hands, not bad, not bad.]
"Is that so?" Yan Xi's eyes drifted.
The two of them ran for a while and finally managed to shake off the middle-aged man.
"Yan... Xi, I'm sorry for dragging you into this just now," Ji Yao gasped for breath.
"I'm fine, but that kick of yours... It was quite skillful," Yan Xi said with a smile.
"It was just instinctive..." Ji Yao replied instinctively.
Yan Xi squinted, and Ji Yao's expression turned serious.
They locked eyes for several tens of seconds.
One innocent, the other enchanting.
The atmosphere of their confrontation caught the attention of several passersby.
[Are they about to fight? Fight! Fight!] Pandora finally saw some of the dramatic scenes she wanted to see. Isn't it much more interesting than sibling harmony?
Just as Pandora thought the atmosphere was about to ignite,
"Pop!"
"Pop!"
They exchanged a smile.
"I actually... haven't experienced it before," Yan Xi confessed.
After all, it had only been a month since he put on this outer shell, and he hadn't encountered many people, so he truly hadn't experienced such a thing.
Hearing this, Ji Yao thought Yan Xi was teasing her.
"Let me take you home, Ji Yao. I'll have my driver pick us up later," Yan Xi said, his expression unchanged, as if he didn't care about what just happened.
"...Thank you, but my house is quite near. I don't need a ride," Ji Yao replied.
"It's not good for a girl to go home alone. Let my driver take you," Yan Xi insisted.
"No, really. I wanted to thank you today, but who knew something like this would happen. I'll be fine going home by myself," Ji Yao insisted.
"Alright, then send me a message when you get home," Yan Xi said.
"Okay."
Ji Yao insisted on going home by herself, and Yan Xi had no choice but to stop insisting.
[It seems like she knew that someone would invite her to go home on the way. To be honest, that man's relationship with Ji Yao doesn't seem simple at all. Why didn't you ask just now?] Pandora analyzed the reality of Yan Xi being treated as a tool.
[Pan Pan, as a considerate classmate, it's only natural to serve your classmates, and not discussing topics they don't want to talk about is the behavior of an outstanding alumnus.]
[...] Pandora was speechless.
Damn, she's getting fired up.
However...
"Yao Yao... indefinite?"

Sea Salt Milkshake: Vice Class Monitor, do you have Zhou Zhou's WeChat? Can you nudge him for me?
Yan Xi emerged from the bathroom, covered in mist, with a large towel in his left hand, drying his hair, and his right hand holding his phone as he sent a WeChat message to Kong Jie.
[It's rare to see you take the initiative.]
"After all, if I don't take the initiative to resolve this matter, given Zhou Gongzi's temperament, it's likely he won't let it go for the next few days. I still need to prepare for exams, and I don't have time to play house with him."
[But you really stirred him up!]
"It was just a casual move. My family's previous dog was like this too, stirred up and then became obedient."
[...]
Kong Ming: I have it. But... what does Xi beauty need Zhou Zhou's WeChat for?
Sea Salt Milkshake: I want to maintain contact with Zhou Zhou and get to know him better. After all, he has been taking care of me.
Kong Ming: ...
Something's not right! What the hell? Has Yan Xi's account been hacked? Weren't these two not on good terms?
Kong Ming opened another chat window.
Kong Ming: Hey! Zhou Zhou, Yan Xi said she wants to add you on WeChat... to get to know you better. Yan Xi is quite innocent and beautiful, so let's forget about what happened today.
Zhou Zhou had just been scolded by his grandfather and was venting his frustration. He came to the boxing gym alone to practice boxing.
Zhou Zhou took a gulp of water and almost choked when he saw Kong Jie's WeChat message.
Maintain contact?
He suddenly remembered Yan Xi's casual tone in his ear this morning, but her words were so provoking.
Damn it! Who the hell has any feelings with her?
Zhou: Did you give it to her?
Kong Ming: No! That's why I came to ask you.
Kong Jie was still waiting for Zhou Zhou's reply. After all, they were classmates in the same class, and their playful interactions should be forgotten. Moreover, considering what happened in the morning, it was originally Zhou Zhou's fault. Yan Xi at most had a little bit of a spoiled attitude. Who didn't have a bit of arrogance when they first came to Qingteng University?
What's more, Yan Xi is truly captivating. Who wouldn't be moved after seeing him? He has no idea what his friend is up to.
After a few minutes, Zhou Zhou received a screenshot from Zhouzhou, showing a friend request from Yan Xi on Haiyan Milkshake's profile.
Zhou: Is this her? Didn't you say you didn't give it to her?
Kong Ming: ??? I swear it wasn't me. It's really not.
Zhou: ...If I believe you again, I must be a fool!
Yesterday, you said that the transfer student was beautiful and innocent. Damn it, her face is the only thing worth looking at. Innocent my ass.
He values romance over friendship.
Because of today's incident, Zhou Zhou returned home and immediately received a beating from his father. In the past, whenever he got beaten, it was because of something he had done himself, and he took it willingly.
But today, it was all because of a transfer student who appeared out of nowhere. How could he endure this?
As Zhou Zhou thought about it, he suddenly received a call from an unknown number. Caught off guard, he looked at his phone screen and had a guess.
It was her.
Recalling Yan Xi's "bitchy behavior" earlier, Zhou Zhou concluded that her sudden call definitely had malicious intentions.
Should he answer or not?
Damn it, he's not afraid of her! Determined, Zhou Zhou answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Yan Xi's clear voice sounded through the phone.
"Have you received the gift I gave you, Zhou Zhou?"
