"Alright, it should be fine now."
After extending his Spiritual Sense to the utmost and making sure he could no longer feel the dangerous aura from before, Xiao Yi slowly lifted his head. Standing up first, he saw Zhang Yuhuan looking dazed, as if lost in thought, and thinking she was startled, gently patted her on the shoulder, offering comforting words in a soft voice.
"Xiao Yi, I really can’t thank you enough. You’ve saved my life again."
It was only upon hearing Xiao Yi’s reassurance that Zhang Yuhuan seed to snap out of her trance. She stood up with a look of profound gratitude and sincerely said to Xiao Yi.
The students around them were unaware that a real campus shooting incident had just taken place beside them. The shooter had used a silencer, and to most people, the sound of the bullet’s discharge was too faint to notice. Plus, a bullet’s flight ti in the air lasts only a few seconds; they couldn’t have heard it. They rely saw Xiao Yi suddenly tackle Zhang Yuhuan, and then the two of them awkwardly tumbled to the ground.
One by one, they cast incredibly strange and astonished looks toward Xiao Yi and Zhang Yuhuan, contemplating in their hearts, wondering if the couple’s romance wasn’t a little too over the top?
It’s said that Z University is brimming with talents and accommodates a diversity of personalities; indeed, all sorts of geniuses and oddities are present. The rumors are not unfounded!
"Hehe, don’t ntion it, maybe it’s our destiny. It seems I always happen to stumble upon you."
Xiao Yi touched his nose and shrugged with a bit of humor on his face, smiling at Zhang Yuhuan. After the sudden incident, he was too lazy to keep his distance from Zhang Yuhuan, thinking it useless to avoid her. He hadn’t seen Zhang Yuhuan for a long ti, and she seed to live her life brightly. He sensed that there were no bodyguards around her, and with her skills, she wouldn’t stand a chance against any of the three attacks, aning the attacker’s moves must have all coincidentally happened when he was around.
Since chance had brought them together to such an extent, could he still avoid her? Was there even a need to avoid her?
"Speaking of which, I’m really sorry for dragging you into this ss several tis. How about this, let treat you to dinner tonight. You’ve saved several tis, and I haven’t properly thanked you. I hope you’ll give the chance this ti."
Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words and the ntion of destiny, Yuhuan blushed slightly, apologizing to Xiao Yi with a touch of guilt while mustering the courage to look up at him with hopeful eyes.
"Sure, it just so happens I haven’t eaten yet, so I won’t be polite."
Xiao Yi had intended to decline, but seeing the hopeful look on Zhang Yuhuan’s face, he ultimately couldn’t bear to refuse and agreed with a smile.
"Great, let’s go. I know of a Western restaurant nearby that is really delicious."
Zhang Yuhuan, visibly relieved and happy upon hearing Xiao Yi’s acceptance, led the way to the restaurant she ntioned, ignoring the odd glances from the onlookers who had seen them roll on the ground.
"Alright."
Xiao Yi, also aware of the onlookers and noticing so started taking out their phones to sneakily take pictures, saw no point in staying longer. As he left, he casually picked up the bullet from the ground, scrutinized it with a hint of surprise in his eyes. It was the kind specifically made for a very new model of handgun. Such gun models were currently rare in the country besides the Military, and even abroad, they weren’t commonly seen. Who was this attacker?
Zhang Yuhuan was slightly surprised to see Xiao Yi picking up the bullet, but she didn’t think much of it, assuming he was just curiously looking at it. After a brief glance, she turned and continued leading the way to the Western restaurant.
The Western restaurant that Zhang Yuhuan had ntioned wasn’t far from the university, and was also very close to where he lived, Azure Waterfront. He had noticed the restaurant before when passing by but had never eaten there.
After following Zhang Yuhuan inside, Xiao Yi was inwardly impressed. The restaurant, while unassuming from the outside, was very tastefully decorated inside with a certain French charm. The lodious saxophone music was also very appealing, and the ambiance alone, regardless of the actual taste of the food, was enticing, especially for young couples.
Zhang Yuhuan seed to be a regular patron and was very familiar with the place. Smiling at the staff as she entered, she led Xiao Yi directly to a cozy corner with a nice view and sat down.
"By the way, Xiao Yi, I still don’t know which grade and major you’re in."
Once seated, concerned that Xiao Yi might not be accustod to Western food, Zhang Yuhuan took the initiative to recomnd a few set nus. After Xiao Yi placed his order, she ordered so dishes for herself, handed the nu to the waiter, and then eagerly looked at Xiao Yi.
"I’m a freshman in the Mathematics departnt."
Xiao Yi quickly answered.
"I’m a sophomore, History departnt. You should call senior sister, you know."
Zhang Yuhuan playfully teased after hearing Xiao Yi’s response.
"Of course, hehe."
Xiao Yi humbly replied.
"Hehe, just kidding. It doesn’t matter what you call . If you don’t mind, you can call by my first na, Yuhuan. Oh, and what’s your cellphone number? So we can keep in touch later. Don’t tell your phone is broken again this ti."
Zhang Yuhuan rembered the issue with the phone number, her eyes holding a reproachful twinkle as she teasingly spoke.
"No, not this ti. I really am sorry about last ti. I ant to text you the next day, but sothing ca up and I forgot. I’ll send it to you right now."
Facing Zhang Yuhuan’s teasing, Xiao Yi blushed slightly, sincerely apologizing and imdiately took out his phone to send her a text.
"So it seems I misjudged you. Hehe, but that also ans you’re not diligent. If you were, you would have sent a ssage after you were done with your urgent matters, no matter how long it took."
Zhang Yuhuan chuckled, her eyes still playfully scolding.
