"Xiaoxiao, why are you running?" Ye Chen was dragged by Song Xiaoxiao for quite a distance.

Song Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, gasping a few times to catch her breath and steady her breathing.

"Just now Liu Xin told me that lots of people saw me hugging you and were gossiping about it. I just felt a bit embarrassed." Song Xiaoxiao shared Liu Xin's words with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had anticipated this long ago, as hugging on campus would certainly attract attention.

"Xiaoxiao, that's exactly what I was worried about." Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and said.

Ye Chen didn't mind since he was a guy, but it was different for Song Xiaoxiao. If the teachers heard about it, it would definitely be trouble.

"I, I..." Song Xiaoxiao stammered.

Because of Li Mei's situation, Song Xiaoxiao associated it with herself, becoming emotional, which led to her initiating the hug with Ye Chen.

If it was a normal time, she definitely wouldn't have done it.

"Alright, don't overthink it. It's done, thinking too much won't help, right?" Ye Chen said with a smile.

Two People continued walking forward, seeing a few boys playing soccer on the field.

Moreover, many girls were standing there watching, occasionally letting out screams.

"Zhang Xu, you're so handsome, I love you."

"Xu Xu, you're the prince in my heart."

"You're handsome, and your soccer skills are even more impressive."

The girls' voices could be heard from a distance.

There's no denying that the guy named Zhang Xu running across the soccer field was indeed very handsome, and his soccer skills were top-notch.

He looked proudly at the girls, whenever playing soccer there would be a group of girls cheering for him.

Not only the girls, but even the boys praised him highly.

"Zhang Xu, this kid is really impressive, able to participate in the national team selection matches."

"Yeah, Zhang Xu truly has talent in soccer."

"My friend was his high school classmate, and previously told me this guy took part in the school league, and the school teams competing against him all ended up losing. Zhang Xu is simply extraordinary."

Ye Chen was just listening to the discussions about Zhang Xu and didn't notice the football flying towards him.

When he saw the football heading toward the boy beside Song Xiaoxiao, Zhang Xu showed a mischievous smile.

"Ye Chen, watch out." Song Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

The ball was really too close to Ye Chen, trying to dodge was impossible and it was definitely going to hit.

The few boys discussing saw this and their hearts were in their mouths, as getting hit would surely cause injury.

Ye Chen's face remained calm without any panic.

Seeing the football flying towards him, he calmly stepped sideways and kicked towards the football with force.

The football, which was supposed to hit Ye Chen, magically changed direction.

The scene in front of him startled Zhang Xu, had it not been for his quick reflexes, the ball would have hit Zhang Xu himself.

Everyone on the soccer field saw Ye Chen's action, exclaiming, "That was impressive."

Ye Chen took Song Xiaoxiao towards the soccer field, originally Song Xiaoxiao didn't want to meet Zhang Xu, but seeing this guy attempting to harm Ye Chen she decided to confront him.

"Zhang Xu, do you realize how dangerous that was just now? If it hit someone, the consequences would be unimaginable?" Song Xiaoxiao complained.

"Sorry, Xiaoxiao, I really didn't mean to, didn't scare your friend, did I?" Zhang Xu pretended to ask.

Zhang Xu said it wasn't intentional, but he intentionally aimed the ball at Ye Chen after hearing from teammates about Song Xiaoxiao walking with a guy on campus, which made him furious.

Song Xiaoxiao was Zhang Xu's goddess, and he had tried many ways to pursue her, but the girl only occasionally showed interest.

Zhang Xu initially wanted to find Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao, coincidentally seeing them walking towards him and overwhelmed by anger, leading to the earlier scene.

Ye Chen couldn't possibly not understand Zhang Xu's thoughts, and the way this guy looked at Song Xiaoxiao was very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Zhang Xu's gaze toward Ye Chen held a grudge, wishing he could kill Ye Chen.

He thought if not for this man, Song Xiaoxiao would definitely be his.

At this time, the surrounding girls' discussions arose.

"Wow, this guy is incredibly handsome, even more than Zhang Xu."

"He looks familiar, like that movie star."

"Come on, I think he's even more handsome than those male stars."

"Did you see his soccer moves earlier? Really mesmerizing."

Zhang Xu heard this and his complexion turned unpleasant, this guy not only took Song Xiaoxiao from him but stole his spotlight as well.

This was intolerable for the always prideful Zhang Xu, his fists clenched tightly.

Song Xiaoxiao heard this, tightly holding onto Ye Chen's arm.

This act made Zhang Xu feel furious, almost spewing out old blood.

"Xiaoxiao, shouldn't you introduce your boyfriend to me?" Zhang Xu said with a smile.

"What's there to introduce." Song Xiaoxiao said indifferently.

She didn't want these love-crazed girls knowing her boyfriend's name, preventing them from having any bad ideas.

Seeing Zhang Xu's awkward expression, Ye Chen extended his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Ye Chen."

Zhang Xu also extended his hand, smiled and said: "Hello, Ye Chen, I'm Zhang Xu, nice to meet you."

Ye Chen knew Zhang Xu was being insincere, feeling it when Zhang Xu gripped his hand.

If it was a friendly handshake, this guy wouldn't exert so much force.

Seeing Ye Chen's expressionless face, Zhang Xu looked puzzled.

Ye Chen thought to himself, now it's my turn.

Since Zhang Xu wasn't being courteous, he saw no need to be polite with this guy and increased the grip of his hand.

Zhang Xu felt like his bones were about to be crushed, his expression looking unpleasant.

He exerted all his strength to pull his hand away from Ye Chen's, already covered in sweat. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

However, no one thought it was due to the handshake, just attributing it to Zhang Xu's constant soccer playing.

"Ye Chen, let's go, don't waste time here." Song Xiaoxiao suddenly said.

Ye Chen nodded, saying: "Okay."

Just as the Two People were about to turn and leave, Zhang Xu suddenly called out: "Brother Ye, I just saw your soccer skills, you must have trained, how about we have a match sometime?"

Being stopped by Zhang Xu, Song Xiaoxiao was already very annoyed, deeply disliking Zhang Xu.

Now this guy suggests a match with Ye Chen, Song Xiaoxiao said with displeasure: "Ye Chen is busy, he doesn't have time for a match with you."

But Ye Chen said: "Alright, I have things to do, we can reschedule."

"No problem Brother Ye, I have training today, I'll let Xiaoxiao contact you when I'm back." Zhang Xu said with a smile.

Song Xiaoxiao didn't expect Ye Chen would agree to Zhang Xu, looking at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.
