Chapter 1226: Chapter 1201: The Sun Rises in the West—Su Wanyi Arrives

Ye Chen’s broad chest conquered everyone present, and everyone admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Ming felt somewhat regretful about Ye Chen not joining the football team.

After this incident, Song Xiaoxiao admired Ye Chen even more. She thought Ye Chen was not only talented but also had charisma.

Ye Chen hugged the campus belle, Song Xiaoxiao, and turned to leave the football field.

Watching the two of them leave, everyone finally understood why there had been so many guys pursuing Song Xiaoxiao, yet she specifically liked Ye Chen.

Not only did Song Xiaoxiao like him, but even other girls fancied Ye Chen, fantasizing that their boyfriends could also be like him.

Just as Ye Chen said, each person has their own ambitions, and a twisted melon won’t be sweet. Even though Zhou Ming was regretful, he did not force Ye Chen.

After Ye Chen left, Zhou Ming came to Zhang Xu and said, "Alright, I take back what I just said, you are still the main force of the team."

But now, Zhang Xu’s attitude was no longer as courteous as before.

He even felt Zhang Xu had embarrassed him. To win the match, Zhang Xu had resorted to foul play, which was truly disgraceful.

This incident also gave Zhou Ming a bad impression of Zhang Xu, but there was no choice; Ye Chen resolutely refused to join the team. If Zhang Xu were kicked out as well, the team’s strength would surely reduce significantly.

It might be better to keep Zhang Xu in the team and cultivate him into an excellent athlete.

Moreover, Zhang Xu obviously had become much more honest, without his usual arrogant expression.

"Thank you, Coach. I will definitely train hard and cooperate well with the team members," Zhang Xu said with a smile.

Everyone felt that Zhang Xu seemed like a changed person; indeed, this incident had given him a great shock and lesson.

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Alright, then I’ll be watching your performance."

He also believed that after this incident, Zhang Xu would have changed.

In fact, although Ye Chen did not join the team, Zhou Ming felt regretful, but he saw growth in Zhang Xu.

Zhou Ming also felt that in future training, Zhang Xu would no longer try to grab attention for himself but learn to cooperate with the team.

Seeing Zhou Ming leave the pitch with Zhang Xu, everyone scattered, with some heading to the dorms, others to the library...

Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao left the football field and came to a small pavilion at the school to sit down.

She kept staring at Ye Chen, a smile on her face.

"Xiaoxiao, do I have something dirty on my face?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.

"No, nothing." Song Xiaoxiao snapped back and blushed as she replied.

After all, Xiaoxiao was a girl, and getting caught staring at a guy made her feel a bit embarrassed.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking with that small head of yours?" Ye Chen pulled the girl into his arms as he asked.

"I just like you, and what you did was truly manly." Song Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"What’s the big deal? Isn’t it perfectly normal?" Ye Chen shrugged and said.

He thought Xiaoxiao was just a little girl, which is why she reacted this way.

If it were Su Wanyi, she wouldn’t make such a fuss.

This was why Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao were together; he always found the feeling of being admired by her.

Actually, men love being admired by the girls they like, giving them a sense of achievement.

"By the way, Ye Chen, why did you refuse Coach Zhou’s offer and not join the football team? You know, many people dream of it," Song Xiaoxiao changed the subject and asked.

She also felt some regret that Ye Chen hadn’t joined the team.

"Silly girl, it’s so I can have time to be with you." Ye Chen said.

"To be with me?" Song Xiaoxiao didn’t quite understand why joining the football team had anything to do with her.

"Yeah, joining the football team means participating in various matches and running all over the place, where would I find the time to be lovey-dovey with you on campus?" Ye Chen explained again.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoxiao suddenly realized and nodded.

Indeed, it made sense; if things were that way, the two would see each other much less.

It seemed that everything Ye Chen did was for her, which moved Song Xiaoxiao.

Seeing the expression on Song Xiaoxiao’s face, Ye Chen laughed and said, "Alright, silly girl, you don’t have time to be touched, you’ll be in class soon."

Ye Chen shook the watch on his wrist in front of Song Xiaoxiao as he spoke.

"Aw, Ye Chen, I’m not happy. Why does time with you pass so quickly?" Song Xiaoxiao pouted.

"It’s because we have a good relationship, so it feels that way." Ye Chen explained.

"I like that answer." Song Xiaoxiao said proudly.

Ye Chen escorted Song Xiaoxiao to the front of the teaching building and then turned to leave.

Usually, Ye Chen didn’t have classes in the afternoon, so he didn’t need to stay at school.

Initially, he felt the school was refreshing, reliving the feeling of being a student.

But now, apart from attending classes and accompanying Song Xiaoxiao, he rarely stayed at school.

The freedom-loving Ye Chen still felt the outside world was more exciting.

Ye Chen walked towards the school gate as his phone rang; he saw it was a call from Su Wanyi.

Answering the call, he heard Su Wanyi’s sweet voice: "Ye Chen, guess where I am?"

Ye Chen didn’t quite understand why Su Wanyi was asking him such a question, so he casually replied, "My Wanyi is a workaholic, so you must be at the company."

"Ye Chen, is work the only thing in my life in your eyes?" Su Wanyi teased.

He could tell Su Wanyi was a little upset, yet Ye Chen also felt a bit wronged, as Su Wanyi truly was a workaholic, often working overtime late into the night.

As her boyfriend, Ye Chen seldom got to see her.

Even so, Ye Chen quickly said, "No, no, I misspoke." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In Ye Chen’s dictionary, if his girlfriend was upset, whether right or wrong, it was his fault.

This was Ye Chen’s survival skill; with so many girlfriends to appease, he would be exhausted otherwise.

As long as he admitted fault openly and sincerely, it mostly worked, and Ye Chen was very experienced in this.

"Alright, I accept your apology. Seeing your good attitude, I’ll wait for you at the school gate." Su Wanyi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen finally realized Su Wanyi had come to school to see him.

"This is a rare occasion indeed; why has Wanyi come today?" Ye Chen thought to himself.

He quickly said, "Wait for me there, I’ll be right over."
