He saw Zhou Xing surrounded by several girls and boys, all of whom were looking at Zhou Xing with sympathy in their eyes. As for the guys, there was an additional look of pitiful love in their gazes toward Zhou Xing. Upon seeing this situation, Zhai Yi understood why Zhou Xing felt so good about herself. There were so many blind guys in their school!
Then, he thought again about how there were more boys than girls in their school. There were simply too many boats chasing too few fish. Zhai Yi finally understood. “Zhou Xing, what’s the matter with you? Why are your eyes a little puffy?” Since she was already here, it did not seem right for Zhai Yi to remain silent.
“Do you still have the guts to ask me about it? It’s all thanks to that younger brother of yours. Don’t think that you can treat us girls so carelessly just because you guys are handsome and are the most popular guys in the PLA National Defense University. As a boyfriend, don’t you think that it’s normal to show more concern about your girlfriend? He suddenly ceased all contact, stopped answering Xingxing’s phone calls, and has even gone missing now. What does this all mean? Does Zhai Xin have another woman so he wants to get rid of our Xingxing? Our school may not be as good as yours, but don’t think that we’ll be bullied so easily!”
Zhou Xing’s female classmate was the first to jump out and seek justice for Zhou Xing. “I hate people who play with the feelings of others. No matter what, your brother has to give us a good explanation for this. What exactly did our Xingxing do to anger him? Why does he have to torture and make life difficult for our Xingxing? If you guys have any conscience and a little bit of integrity as future soldiers, you’d better get your brother out and apologize to our Xingxing. And he’d better promise us that he’ll treat Xingxing well in the future and not bully her anymore.”
Actually, this female classmate thought that it was much better for Zhou Xing to stop hesitating and crying and simply break up with Zhai Xin and find a better guy who would cherish her. It was true that Zhai Xin was handsome and a student of the PLA National Defense University, but he was a bast*rd after all. Since Zhou Xing had already discovered his true nature so early on, it was much better to end the relationship as soon as possible!
But Zhou Xing had been crying, saying that she truly loved Zhai Xin and could not live without Zhai Xin. As long as Zhai Xin got rid of his bad habits, she felt that she would be the happiest staying with Zhai Xin.
Since the party concerned, Zhou Xing, was so stubborn and devoted, there was nothing her female classmate could do. The only thing she could do was to be a moralist and lecture Zhai Xin to get justice for Zhou Xing, all the while reminding Zhai Xin to treat Zhou Xing well in the future.
“I’ll say this today. If Zhai Xin is someone who toys with women’s feelings, I don’t think he’s worthy of that military uniform or of being a soldier. I believe that the military will never accept a person like Zhai Xin!” If this matter blew up, it would have a drastic impact on Zhai Xin’s future position in the military.
Being softhearted was not going to work, so she had to bring in solid consequences. Otherwise, the Zhai brothers would think that the girls in their art school were easily bullied. When they liked it, they would date a girl. Once they got tired of her, they would treat her as trash and dump her aside without a second look.
“Zhai Yi, there’s actually no need for this to become such a big matter. It won’t be good for Zhai Xin. Zhou Xing is quite pretty, treats Zhai Xin well, and even sends soup over to Zhai Xin often. It won’t be easy to find such a good girlfriend in the future even when you enter society. Zhai Yi, as an average person, don’t you think it’s good to know how to cherish whatever we have?”
Even the male students of the PLA National Defense University spoke up.
He knew all too well the struggles of not having a girlfriend. If he had a girlfriend, he would surely perform much better than Zhai Xin. There was no way he would let his girlfriend cry until her eyes were swollen. He would do his best to pamper his girlfriend like a princess so that she would never think of leaving him and would even step into the marriage hall together with him.
This guy knew that the students of the PLA National Defense University would all be busy with their careers and would have no time for their families in the future. There were too many boys but too few girls in their school, making it incredibly hard for him to get a girlfriend. But if he did not get a girlfriend now, he would have even less time to get to know girls and get a girlfriend once he entered the military.
How he wished he could be Zhai Xin. He would surely cherish a good young lady like Zhou Xing. What era were they living in? Even his mom’s cooking was very ordinary. Now, young ladies of Zhou Xing’s age all lived pampered lifestyles and never had to dirty their hands with household chores. Zhou Xing was even willing to dirty her hands to make soup for Zhai Xin, and he had even heard that her culinary skills were pretty good.
Where could he find such a good girlfriend?
After someone took the lead, many more people who had accompanied Zhou Xing here started to join in. “That’s right. Zhou Xing is such a good girl. Zhai Xin can’t bully her like that.”
“Where’s Zhai Xin? Ask him out! Don’t always hide behind his elder brother! Does he feel too ashamed to face us now that he knows he’s done something wrong?”
The clamor was soon getting more out of hand, and the commotion had even attracted a lot of attention from onlookers. Zhai Yi knew about that, but he was waiting for Zhou Xing to explode. Clearly, this fire that Zhou Xing had started was now big enough. Now that it had reached his desired level, Zhai Yi finally spoke up. “You guys have been saying that Zhou Xing is Zhai Xin’s girlfriend. I am confused by you guys. Who told you that Zhai Xin is dating Zhou Xing?”
“…”
“…”
The moment Zhai Yi said that, Zhou Xing turned her head and leaned on her classmate’s shoulder before bursting out in tears.
That girl who was full of righteousness flushed with anger. “Who told us? We all know! Do you dare say that Zhai Xin did not save Xingxing two months ago and that they did not get into a relationship? Zhou Xing has a good temper and knows that Zhai Xin is always busy, so she tries not to bother him. Ask around. I don’t believe that no one in the PLA National Defense University doesn’t know that Zhai Xin is dating our Xingxing.”
Zhai Xin was the most handsome guy on campus. Even if people in the PLA National Defense University had not seen it for themselves, the news of the most handsome guy getting a girlfriend had surely spread like wildfire. Therefore, the girls were not the least bit worried that Zhai Yi would not admit it or even try to deny that Zhou Xing was in a relationship with Zhai Xin.
“I think you guys have all misunderstood the situation. Zhai Xin was never with Zhou Xing, and the two of them have never dated.” Zhai Yi denied the relationship between Zhou Xing and Zhai Xin, completely ignoring the rumors that had been spread. Rumors were almost always false anyway!
“You…” At this, the girl not only flushed with anger but was rendered speechless by Zhai Yi’s ‘shamelessness’. “Dating is not like getting engaged. There’s no ring as proof. But you brothers can’t be such scoundrels! They were clearly in a relationship, but you’re denying it now! Don’t force me! If you force me, I’ll flip your university upside down just to find a few students to prove that Zhai Xin was in a relationship with our Xingxing and that they went out together!”
