In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Time flies, it's after National Day! In the library!

"Hey, Xiao Ai, why are you avoiding me? I really have a question I need your help with!"

Hou Liangping was chasing after Zhong Xiaoai! He found it absurd; why did Zhong Xiaoai have such a dislike for him?

He initially felt lucky to be in the same class as Zhong Xiaoai, because he could see that Zhong Xiaoai shared a similar quality with him: the daughter of an official family (he didn't see this in Zhao Zhongxin, because his first impression of Zhao Zhongxin was that of a wealthy young man!).

Moreover, Hou Liangping also found out that Zhong Xiaoai was from Beijing, a Beijing official! Beijing officials are naturally superior to others! He felt that even if Zhong Xiaoai's family was just a family of mid-level cadres, he would still think they were a good match for him!

But Zhong Xiaoai completely ignored him! Little did he know, Zhong Xiaoai saw Hou Liangping as Zhao Zhongxin's henchman, the vanguard of the bullies! She was afraid of Hou Liangping!

But Zhong Xiaoai didn't dare tell the truth. What if Zhao Zhongxin came looking for trouble? If she couldn't afford to offend him, couldn't she at least avoid him? But Hou Liangping seemed to be sticking to her like glue!

"Hou Liangping! Please call me by my full name, or Zhong. We're not close enough for you to call me Xiao Ai. If you keep harassing me, I'll go find the counselor!"

Zhong Xiaoai really wanted to shake off Hou Liangping, this clingy guy, and she shouted directly in front of everyone!

Hou Liangping's face turned red with anger. He had never been rejected like this before, and he instinctively wanted to lose his temper, but Chen Hai quickly spoke up from the side!

"Excuse me, Zhong! My buddy and I are leaving now, there's no need! Let's go, monkey! There are so many people watching!"

"Tell me, what's wrong with this woman? I was just talking to her nicely, did she have to act like that? Ah! Hai Zi, tell me! How can she act like this?"

Outside the library, Hou Liangping started complaining to Chen Hai! Chen Hai listened for a while and then yawned!

"Monkey, are you stupid? Zhong Xiaoai doesn't even like you! Why are you staring at her? A real man shouldn't worry about not having a wife, just find someone else!"

Chen Hai had no idea about Hou Liangping's cunning schemes! His thinking was simple: if he couldn't win Hou Liangping over, he should just move on to someone else; why was he so persistent?

"Oh, you wouldn't understand, never mind!"

Hou Liangping didn't want to say anything more; he didn't want to reveal his plan!

"Okay, okay, I don't understand! Want to play basketball this afternoon? Our senior invited us!"

Chen Hai didn't say anything more, but instead asked!

"Zhao Zhongxin?"

Hou Liangping knew that the senior Chen Hai was talking about was Zhao Zhongxin, because he usually called Qi Tongwei "Brother Tongwei"!

"Yeah, play basketball! It'll give you a good break!"

Chen Hai said with a smile, and Hou Liangping shook his head and said!

"No, I'm a little tired, let's do it another day!"

Hou Liangping had no desire to have much contact with Zhao Zhongxin!

"Suit yourself, I'm going!"

Chen Hai didn't try to persuade him further. After all, he knew Zhao Zhongxin and Qi Tongwei first, and had only known Hou Liangping for a few months! He would definitely prefer to hang out with Zhao Zhongxin and the others!

Over here, Zhao Zhongxin is playing basketball with Qi Tongwei. Taking advantage of being a head taller than Qi Tongwei, Zhao Zhongxin is charging around recklessly. Qi Tongwei lost his balance and fell flat on his face!

"Brother Xin, what are you doing? Tongwei, are you alright? Let me see where you're hurt."

The speaker was Qi Tongwei's partner, Chen Yang, who was giving Zhao Zhongxin a piece of her mind!

"Fine, fine, you're showing off your love while we're playing ball. Come on, Tongwei, tell me, did I run into you?"

Zhao Zhongxin was very unhappy. This just made it seem like no one cared about him or loved him!

"Hey, my Chen Yang has introduced you to several friends, but you didn't even give them a second glance. Now that my boyfriend is showing me some concern, you're unhappy! You just want to be a bachelor!"

Qi Tongwei said with a grin that he felt this year was the happiest year of his life, as he had gained friends and found a girlfriend!

"Hmph, what's wrong with being single? I'm different from you!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongxin was speechless. His father had arranged a marriage for him when he was eight years old with the granddaughter of his old comrade-in-arms, who was eight years younger than him. Damn it, that little girl was still in junior high school, just started junior high! Just thinking about it made him feel guilty! And it was the kind of marriage where a bride price had already been paid!

That's why Zhao Zhongxin hasn't found a partner. It's not because he's celibate or anything like that; it's mainly because everyone has feelings. If he meets someone suitable and they fall deeply in love, what will happen to that young girl? Once an engagement is broken off, it's like tearing apart a relationship. Breaking a promise is like betraying someone! The two families were originally on good terms; there's no need to turn against each other over this!

Zhao Zhongxin's background suggests he was born to be a politician. There's no need for him to push out a good ally. The reason is simple: those who are engaged to his family all come from similar backgrounds!

However, Zhao Zhongxin did not intend to reveal this matter, only saying that there was no suitable person!

Just then, Zhao Zhongxin suddenly saw Chen Hai arrive, and quickly reached out his hand. Look, another single guy has arrived, now he has company!

But the smile suddenly froze on Zhao Zhongxin's face! Because he noticed that there was a girl following behind Chen Hai!

Watching Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai playing basketball against each other, while Chen Yang and Chen Hai's girlfriends were whispering to each other, Zhao Zhongxin really wanted to say something!

"Give me back the ball, I'm going home! I'm done playing! I'm leaving!"

Then Zhao Zhongxin thought, why isn't Hou Liangping here? That way we could have a 2v2 match. Instead, he's just listening to women gossip!

Thinking of Hou Liangping, Zhao Zhongxin suddenly remembered Zhong Xiaoai! The little princess of the Zhong family? Zhong Xiaoai and Hou Liangping were in the same year, and wasn't she a princess-like figure at Handong University? How come there's no news about her at all!

Logically, she should be famous throughout the school by now! She's beautiful, isn't she the school beauty? And then she's arrogant!

Little did Zhao Zhongxin know that when he threatened to burn Zhong's butt with a cigarette butt, Zhong Xiaoai was keeping a low profile, not daring to be proud, just afraid that Zhao Zhongxin would notice her!

Zhao Zhongxin suddenly became interested in Zhong Xiaoai again. Why not go and find out what's going on with this so-called "prodigy"?

To be honest, when it comes to connections and family background, there aren't many who can surpass Zhao Zhongxin! The old man of the Zhong family is about three ranks below his grandfather! When he sees his grandfather, he has to stand at attention and salute!

Zhong Xiaoai was unaware that Zhao Zhongxin had suddenly noticed her! She was currently feeling irritated; Hou Liangping kept bothering her! She even considered telling her family so they could speak to the school principal and warn Hou Liangping!

But she dared not; what if Zhao Zhongxin noticed her? So she was very troubled! That's why she spoke harshly to Hou Liangping, hoping to make him back down!
