Chapter 240: Suddenly Intimate

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Chu Li’s voice was not too loud, Fang Yao was always the focus of everyone’s attention, so many gazes had already landed on Yuan Xiao.

“That’s right, so you should straighten your thoughts as soon as possible.” Fang Yao looked at Chu Li gloomily, making him a little afraid.

“Don’t worry, Brother Fang. This will be Sister-in-law in the future. We’ll be careful.” Chu Li’s expression had completely changed. Previously, he was a little nervous and uneasy, but now, he was completely enthusiastic.

“Sister-in-law, tell me if there’s anything in the future. I’ll definitely do my best.” Chu Li’s gaze was very firm, making Yuan Xiao not know how to respond.

“Thank you. Just call me Yuan Xiao.” After chatting briefly with Chu Li, Yuan Xiao finally felt relieved when she saw him leave.

“This person is quite interesting. School Hunk Fang, could he be your new underling?” Li Chang looked at Chu Li who had left and asked Fang Yao curiously.

“Chu Li is on the same basketball team as Zhao Yu. He’s not a bad person.”

Yuan Xiao felt that Fang Yao’s words were very credible. After all, those who could retreat unscathed in front of Fang Yao were probably the ones whom he admired or respected.

“It does look good, but the way he confesses is a little old-fashioned. How can anyone speak so directly these days?” Halfway through her sentence, Li Chang realized that the atmosphere was not right. She coughed awkwardly and stood up from her seat. “You guys chat. I’ll go see what Zhao Yu is doing.”

Li Chang left the event location as if she was escaping. Yuan Xiao pinched the bridge of her nose speechlessly. Why did Li Chang have to mention the confession in front of this jealous person?

“Xiao Xiao, I’ve only left you for a while…” Fang Yao sat beside Yuan Xiao like a spoiled child and leaned his head on Yuan Xiao’s shoulder.

Noticing the gazes around her, Yuan Xiao hurriedly pushed Fang Yao, who was leaning on her shoulder, and whispered, “Get up quickly. If others see you like this, your school hunk image is gone.”

“What’s so good about being the school hunk? I’m leaning on my girlfriend’s shoulder. What’s wrong with that?” Fang Yao wished everyone could see it so that he could stay away from Yuan Xiao in the future.

Yuan Xiao sighed helplessly. She had lost to Fang Yao.

On the other side, Xu Ying had been paying attention to Fang Yao. Seeing their especially intimate actions, Xu Ying could not help but clench her fists.

“Ying Ying, that’s Fang Yao’s girlfriend?” Xu Ying’s friend also noticed Fang Yao and Yuan Xiao and could not help but ask curiously.

Xu Ying did not answer. She only looked at Yuan Xiao with an even darker gaze.

Before Yuan Xiao appeared, everyone had a tacit understanding that Xu Ying and Fang Yao were a couple. After all, it seemed natural for the school belle to be matched with the school hunk, but Fang Yao had never responded to Xu Ying.

Everyone thought that Fang Yao had a cold personality, but no one expected the usually dark-faced Colonel Fang to have such a cute side.

“Ah Yao, my shoulder’s sore. Get up quickly.” Yuan Xiao knew that Fang Yao had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Indeed, after hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Fang Yao straightened up reluctantly.

“Xiao Xiao, are you bored? Why don’t we go back first?”

Yuan Xiao could tell that the one who was bored was actually Fang Yao. She thought for a moment and said to him, “Isn’t it a little rude to leave the venue early?”

Yuan Xiao did not know how Fang Yao usually interacted with his friends, but Fang Yao did not look like he would take the initiative to befriend others.

“It’s fine. It’s already not easy for me to participate. It’s simply too torturous for me to stay until the end.”

Fang Yao did not like such an event to begin with. He could participate purely to let everyone know about his relationship with Yuan Xiao. Now that his goal was almost achieved, Fang Yao had no reason to stay.

“Then I’ll ask Li Chang and see if she wants to leave with us.” Yuan Xiao stood up and walked towards Li Chang and Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu wanted to get to know more newbies who knew how to play basketball. Li Chang also volunteered to accompany him.

After asking Li Chang and Zhao Yu for their opinions, Yuan Xiao decided to leave with Fang Yao first.

Just as Yuan Xiao was about to leave with Fang Yao, she was blocked by Xu Ying, who she had seen a few times before.

“Your name is Xiao Xiao, right?” Xu Ying’s voice was very gentle, and her attitude was very humble. No one could find any fault with her..
