I want to have a normal campus romance

After hearing what they said, I was immediately furious, because I felt that if I continued like this, I wouldn't be able to explain myself even if I was right.

"pat-"

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of the car door opening.

Chapter 196 The Art of Language

Along with the cool breeze blowing from the river, a refreshing scent of lavender rushed into my nostrils, calming my originally restless heart a little.

I slowly turned my head and found that the person who got out of the car was none other than Xia Xiaoyao, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt. With her beige windbreaker and sunglasses on her face, she had a temperament that was hovering between youth and maturity.

This made me stunned, but what stunned me was not only what she was wearing, but I was more surprised that she was actually in the car just now.

Now that she's here, why doesn't she give me a call or a message back?

However, Xia Xiaoyao's focus did not seem to be on this. She just trotted all the way to my side and then asked coldly to the man with a crew cut who was standing there at a loss and a few of his friends.

"What are you going to do?"

They seemed to be amazed by Xia Xiaoyao's appearance and figure. Even though Xia Xiaoyao was wearing sunglasses, they were still dazed for a moment. Even the man with a crew cut who had just been rubbing his arm and grinning, stood up straight and pretended nothing had happened.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing them standing there in a daze, staring at Xia Xiaoyao stupidly, I took a step towards her and then coughed twice at them.

When they heard me cough, they seemed to wake up from a dream. When they saw that I was staring at them, their faces changed instantly, like mice seeing a cat.

"Uh...we, we didn't...did anything."

"Yes, yes, we didn't do anything."

"Just passing by, yes, passing by!"

They didn't even look at my face while they were talking, which made my eyes twitch. I wonder if people would think I was some gangster boss if I looked like this.

"This is my...my friend. I just wanted to see if she was in the car. I didn't mean to puncture her tires."

As I said this, I couldn't help but wink at Xia Xiaoyao next to me, but she was slightly stunned after hearing what I said, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

Say something, if you don’t speak...those little geniuses with imagination will think I am threatening you.

Sure enough, the three people who had been so timid just now, after seeing Xia Xiaoyao stunned, they suddenly found courage from somewhere and changed their tone and said very firmly:

"Don't be afraid, beauty...if you feel threatened, just tell us!"

Looking at the three of them like this, I might have thought they were some kind of chivalrous "five good young people". The man with the crew cut completely changed his howling appearance and even though his forehead was sweating, he crossed his arms and put on a strong man look.

Shit, is this the legendary buff bonus that comes to boys when there are beautiful girls nearby?

It temporarily increases strength, speed, and endurance, and greatly increases courage, but at the cost of lowering intelligence. Everything is done to show off in front of girls. Once the face is hit, there is a small chance of entering a violent state of losing reason, and a high chance of obtaining an abnormal state called "extreme embarrassment".

After hearing what they said, Xia Xiaoyao turned to look at me with a frown on her face. She seemed to realize that she had been distracted just now and caused a big misunderstanding. She couldn't help but said to those people in a serious tone:

"I'm sorry, he is indeed my friend and he is very nice to me. I am not threatened. Please don't misunderstand me."

Oh, critical hit plus true damage!

Sure enough, after hearing what Xia Xiaoyao said, the three people were like deflated balls. The courage that had just risen up immediately turned into incomparable embarrassment. They dared not look at Xia Xiaoyao, nor did they dare to look at me.

Especially after they heard the six words "He treats me very well", they felt as if they were struck deeply in their souls. The health bars of the three of them dropped to zero, as if they had instantly turned into salted fish that had lost their dreams.

"Oh...oh, so that's it. It was just a misunderstanding."

“I see…I see.”

"Then we won't bother you anymore, haha...haha...ha."

Seeing this, a few people responded awkwardly, and then found an excuse to slip away. I guess it was because they were too embarrassed to face the scene, or it might be because they just "backstabbed" me and were afraid that I would give them a set of parting punches.

"By the way...you've arrived a long time ago?"

After seeing them walk away, I put my hands on my hips and slowly asked Xia Xiaoyao beside me. When she heard what I said, she seemed to have expected me to ask this. She sighed helplessly and nodded.

Xia Xiaoyao rarely shows this expression on weekdays, and whenever she shows this helpless and slightly tired expression, it means...

"Work-related matters?"

"Well, Sister Ling just called me."

Sister Ling? Oh... I remember now, she seems to be her agent. We met last time.

It’s no wonder that she didn’t reply to my message. After all, she was always on the phone and it was really difficult for her to receive my message.

Seeing that she nodded, I didn't continue to ask anything else, because it would be meaningless. Some people might choose to ask girls questions about their well-being at this time.

But as a person who has no ability to help her solve her problems, the so-called concern or asking questions will only cause her more troubles.

Because I have no way to help the other person or offer any constructive suggestions. Of course...if Xia Xiaoyao wants to talk to me, I don't mind being a listener.

Thinking of this, I did not choose to continue the previous topic and add to my troubles. Instead, I smiled and leaned against the car, patted the car next to me, and then joked to Xia Xiaoyao who was standing not far away:

"So, you drove here by yourself?"

After hearing what I said, Xia Xiaoyao seemed to be stunned for a moment because the topic I was talking about was too jumpy.

"Well, usually my assistant Xiaoqin helps me drive, but she was recently transferred by the company for something, so I have to drive myself recently."

"Are you okay driving yourself? I remember you were in the wrong gear last time."

"That...that was just an accident! It's...it's not like that every time."

"real or fake?"

"real!"

Xia Xiaoyao said this while looking at me with a puffy face. I would play with her from time to time to help her regain some energy. I also found that she... well, should I say she is dumb in words? Or is it better to say she is simple?

It seemed like no matter what questions I asked, she would never avoid them. Even though she knew my questions were traps, she would always choose to answer them directly. This made me laugh and cry.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems that she has always been like this. Ever since the quarrel when we first met, she has never avoided any of my questions.

"I haven't violated any traffic rules in my driving these past few days!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

"You perfunctory me again!"

Seeing her take two steps forward, I learned my lesson this time and immediately jumped back a step, thus thwarting her attempt to step on me.

Hehehe, see through it!

Wait a minute, why do I always feel like there’s a “danger” sign above my head again?

At this moment, I suddenly recalled a famous saying, which is that when a girl wants to hit you, you'd better not hide, because after hiding... the consequences may be even worse.

Seeing that her plan failed, Xia Xiaoyao actually grabbed me. However, it didn't matter what she grabbed, because she actually grabbed the arm that the crew-haired man had used to grab me.

When Xia Xiaoyao pulled me like this, I suddenly felt a sour and refreshing feeling. This sour and refreshing feeling is authentic...Pah, pah, pah, this flavor of instant noodles has gone bad.

But no matter what, although Xia Xiaoyao's pulling didn't make me grimace, it did make the muscles on my face twitch because of the "incredibly sour" pain.

"What...what happened?"

As if frightened by my expression, Xia Xiaoyao let go of my arm as if she had been electrocuted, and I stretched out my other hand and waved it.

"It's okay. I just caught that guy when I wasn't paying attention. But he probably didn't learn how to do it properly, so he didn't use any light force."

I couldn't help but start complaining about what happened just now, but seeing Xia Xiaoyao's face was a little worried, I immediately changed the topic and continued:

"Ahem, of course... I'm good enough that I've learned grappling techniques. How could I bear this injustice? I just pressed him there in a snap. That guy was much worse off than me."

"Is your arm okay?"

"Yeah... it's okay. I've practiced with my family before, and my physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. I think I'll be fine after lying down for two days."

I said this while enduring the pain in my arm, and patted my arm to show that I was fine. After hearing what I said, Xia Xiaoyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then as if she heard something interesting, she blinked and asked me slowly:

"Have you practiced before?"

"Uh... well, when I was little, I wasn't in very good health. I lived with my grandfather at the time, so I would often do boxing and fitness exercises with him. Of course... I didn't learn much, but I did get beaten a lot."

When I think about it carefully, it seems that a lot of my strange skills were learned from my grandfather. After all, I admired him very much when I was a child. I also knew some mysterious knowledge and some martial arts, just like the hermit in the story.

However, when I grew up, I gradually discovered that my grandfather was not that great. He was just an ordinary old man with a little more knowledge, who occasionally liked to box against a wooden stake. But at that time, I still longed for such a free and easy life.

It’s a pity that the things I learned are basically not used in daily life. I can only say that they broaden my horizons. After all, these things are not tested in the exam.

What's more, my grandfather could live that kind of life because of his pension and my parents. But I couldn't even get the minimum living allowance, let alone the pension, so after entering high school, I didn't learn much about those things.

"By the way...what did you ask me to do today?"

I rubbed my shoulders as I spoke, waiting for Xia Xiaoyao's reply, but soon I suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from behind me, and it sounded louder and louder.

I turned around in surprise, and saw a group of people rushing over not far away. I looked carefully and found that they were the group of people I just passed by, looking around, wondering what they were looking for.

I stared at them blankly, and they stared at me blankly. For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen, and I could smell something in the dark -

Bad taste!

"Xia Xiaoyao's car is here! I told you I wasn't seeing things!!!"

Chapter 197 Apology

When I heard what they said, the corners of my eyes couldn't help but twitch. I didn't expect that the premonition in my heart would become a reality at this moment.

Although I knew that if I stayed with a big star like Xia Xiaoyao, I would encounter this kind of thing sooner or later, but I never expected that it would happen at this time.

The man in the lead suddenly had a light in his eyes when he saw the black Audi car next to him, and he excitedly exclaimed to the people next to him.

And when they saw Xia Xiaoyao standing not far from me wearing sunglasses, they showed joy on their faces, as if their restless hearts were provoked. The group of people changed from walking fast to jogging, and finally ran towards this side one by one.

Holy shit! It turns out that this kind of fanatical fans really exist! I've learned a lot today!

"boarding!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, I hurriedly spoke slowly to Xia Xiaoyao. Seeing that she didn't react and was still standing there in a daze, I hesitated for a moment, and finally took her hand and quickly stuffed her into the back seat of the car.

Then I opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, held the steering wheel, and started the car skillfully.

The group of people running towards us quickened their pace when they saw Xia Xiaoyao and I get into the car. They opened their mouths and shouted something, but I guessed it was "wait a minute" or "I want an autograph".

But I had no intention of stopping the car. After all, there were about 20 or 30 of them. Once they rushed over and surrounded the car, we would be unable to move!

So after I started the car, I didn't hesitate for a moment, skipped the warm-up step, released the handbrake, quickly shifted gears, and then stepped on the accelerator.

If any car lover saw this, he would be so angry at my prodigal behavior that he couldn't sleep. But now it is obvious... the situation does not allow me to do so.

Besides...it's not my car, so I don't feel too bad about it.

When the crowd was swarming in and was about to rush to the rear of the car, the car suddenly started moving. The instantaneous push on my back made me experience the "zero-to-hundred-mile acceleration".

If I were forced to describe this feeling, it would be like a roller coaster rushing down from the peak in an instant. To be honest...even though I drove Xia Xiaoyao's car last time, this fierce power still surprised me.

The crowd that was originally approaching was shrinking in the rearview mirror, which made me feel relieved. Fortunately, it was class time and there were no people around, so I could speed up without worry.

Otherwise...the car will definitely be caught up by that group of people.

But even so...I didn't let my guard down. Instead, I drove the car to a road with fewer people near the school and fewer speed bumps, trying to get rid of the group of people behind me.

But that group of people were persistent. Even when my car was far away from them, they were already running towards me. I deliberately turned the car around and passed several intersections before I got rid of them.

Really, I thought these kinds of fanatical fans were all hired by management companies, but I didn’t expect they actually exist!

I sighed, and in order to avoid any further complications, I quickly drove out of the school. After all, our school only has a few gates, and as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely wait at the school gate.

I slowly looked through the rearview mirror at Xia Xiaoyao who was sitting in the back seat, and saw that she still had a somewhat frightened look on her face, as if she had not yet recovered from the chase just now.

Of course...I didn't have the right to say anything because I was sweating profusely. I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the car drove out of the school safely.

"Next time you come, I suggest you change your car. No matter where you put it, it's too conspicuous."

Actually, I originally wanted to say that it was too high-profile, but after thinking that it was not a good idea to say so, I finally modified my wording slightly to avoid embarrassment.

However, Xia Xiaoyao seemed to be worried about something and did not respond to my words. But even so, looking at the slightly guilty look on her face, I could guess what she was thinking.

"If you have a group of security guards around you, it's fine to give them autographs, but I'm the only one around you. No matter how powerful I am, I can't be like Superman and stop 20 or 30 people."

I can see that the group of people don't seem to have any malicious intentions. Maybe they really just want an autograph, but that's just my guess. I can't just gamble based on my guess, right?

If any of them have any ill intentions, I won’t be able to stop so many people even if I have three heads and six arms!
