These youngsters were arrogant and were used to getting their way. Before, others were their stepping stones. They had never met the kind who did not back down before.
Dong Er must have been some nerve of Paars. He would not let up. Wang Zheng had been rather restrained. It was SIG soon, and he did not want trouble. But the other guy was too much, and he could not take it lying down. The method of teaching was to teach them pain. Wang Zheng definitely could, but he was not willing to use it frivolously.
“Di Maria, you had best watch your friend’s mouth, or he might not be able to speak after this,” Wang Zheng said.
“I don’t care. If you don’t say what your relationship to Dong Er is, there will be no end to you and I!”
Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seemed like he had met a love rival. The trouble had started before the gossip had even spread. This was muddy waters now.
“Paars, calm down. You should ask Dong Er about this.” Even Si Jiali felt that he was going overboard.
“I don’t care. I’ll get quick with anybody who opposes me!” Paars was close to a rage.
“When did Aslan fall to such appalling quality?” A voice rang out. Three people walked in.
Paars was boiling. Why were there so many brazen troublemakers today?
The one who spoke was a little loli of small stature, but not of reputation. Luo Er, Ai Xiaolu, and Snow Li had arrived.
“You’re nothing. Don’t think I won’t beat you up just because you’re a woman!” Paars leapt up.
At this moment, Di Maria knew he could not stay on the sidelines any longer. He openly held Paars back.
“Paars, cool it now.” Turning his head, Di Maria gave a small smile. “Student Luo Er, my apologies. This guy has a temper.”
“It’s a good thing for a guy to have some fire, but to use it to hit women, that’s a rare sight.” Ai Xiaolu smiled back slightly.
“Who are you!?”
“I am Ai Xiaolu! Remember that!” Ai Xiaolu said.
Perhaps because Di Maria was using a lot of strength, Paars had finally calmed down a fraction. He did not know Luo Er, but he knew the Aishi Financial Group. Hail Cloud Alliance’s Aishi Financial Group was well known in the Milky Way Alliance. And Di Maria had addressed Luo Er first, so she might be even more formidable than Ai Xiaolu.
At this moment, a high class girl walked out. A dress in crocus yellow, with long hair reaching her shoulders. She was not richly adorned, but that highlighted her extraordinary class all the more.
“Paars, you’re being mean-spirited again. These are all Aslan’s esteemed guests. How could you be so boorish?” The girl smiled. Her aura was something special.
“Ouyang… you must be in the know. What is going on?” Paars felt like he had found his savior.
Ouyang Ruoliu’s smile was like a spring breeze, softening all that had just happened. At this moment, Wang Zheng could already tell that this girl was connected to Dong Er, which meant that they were already here.
In truth, whether out of manners, or respect for his teachers, he should have come. But he thought that a bunch of girls might simply treat this as amusement. Wang Zheng was not so petty, but he had no interest in chaperoning them to play house.
“Your case will wait.” Ouyang Ruoliu approached and eyed Wang Zheng. They had been watching for a while, and had given their evaluations. This guy was not bad, although his manner was not that likeable. “Wang Zheng, is it? I am Ouyang Ruoliu, Dong Er’s good friend. Dong Er is not feeling well today, and cannot come. She sent me to convey her apologies.”
Wang Zheng was stood up. From the side, Ai Xiaolu and the other two inadvertently gasped. “Wang Zheng, you furtively came for matchmaking. My God, coming from you!”
Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. “Ai Xiaolu, don’t make a fuss. What do you mean furtively? I’m out here in the open, aren’t I?”
“Matchmaking!!!” Paars’ stance conveyed that he was about to fly over and start a fight.
Dong…
Ouyang Ruoliu crashed a fist down on Paars’ skull, then gave the blonde ponytail a violent yank. “Everyone, my apologies. This guy is a little daft.”
Paars was squatting down holding his head. Ouyang Ruoliu had not gone easy.
Wang Zheng smiled slightly. At this moment, he roughly got the picture. This guy must like Dong Er. Everything else aside, his standing up had been a little stupid, but also a little brave. He would not quibble over things like this.
“If she feels unwell, then she needs to rest. I won’t bother her.” Wang Zheng smiled. “Snow, Xiaolu, Luo Er, what are your plans?”
“We wanted to try the high tea, but now we’ve lost interest. How about the three of us go on a date with you? We have a loli, an ice cold beauty, and this sexier one. You could choose all three.” Ai Xiaolu smiled.
“I feel that’s a good idea as well. Let’s go somewhere else.” It was rare for Snow to be so proactive.
Luo Er looked mildly at Ouyang Ruoliu. “There should be no need for anyone to babysit for the Menlo family. This time around, Wang Zheng is willing to let it go. If he chooses to keep this personality, there will be trouble sooner or later.”
Ouyang Ruoliu smiled slightly. “Exactly as Student Luo Er says.” But her eyes were bleak.
Wang Zheng and the rest left One Meter of Galaxy. His spirits lifted, Wang Zheng himself felt relieved. His mission was over. Whether Dong Er was pretending or not, it did not matter. This simply meant they were not destined, and he had fulfilled his bargain towards Mu Fengchun and Butcher.
“Aslan people aren’t bad, they just take themselves too seriously,” Luo Er said. “Why were you matchmade with Dong Er?”
“Can you all stop hanging onto the word ‘matchmaking?’ Softer, please. This was an introduction by Mentor Butcher and Mentor Mu Fengchun, so I had to come. And now the assignment’s over.”
Wang Zheng had to explain.
“Those two old geezers are really too free. You’re not old, what’s the rush?”
All three proclaimed their agreement vigorously.
Within One Meter of Galaxy, Paars was fairly grumpy. “Sister Ouyang, why did you hit me? That bastard…”
“Paars, it’s SIG period. There are many important characters from all over. Your temper will ruin your family.”
“Tch. This is Aslan. Can they even touch me?” Paars was uncowed.
Although Di Maria was competitive with Wang Zheng, and even on sour terms, he did not want this matter to blow up. It was childish and in poor taste. “Paars, they won’t bite you, but you will be grounded by your family forever. That little one is Gemini Star’s Luo Er, her father is the representative of the Milky Way Alliance.”
“Eh? She’s Ryan’s daughter?” Paars was dazed. “How did a mug like Ryan give birth to such a beautiful daughter?”
Ping…
“Sister Ouyang, you hit me again. My brain must be addled because of you,” Paars grumbled.
“You lot have the worst sense of timing, blundering into things. My plan is all ruined because of you,” Ouyang Ruoliu said.
“Who let him date Dong Er!? Luckily, I was here!” Paars was still very pleased with himself, even smiling.
“You must be invalid. Clearly that Wang Zheng had no feelings either, and Dong Er was forced by her family. The two would meet, and act for a while, and things would be over. If not for your antics.”
Ouyang Ruoliu had a sense of foreboding. She was afraid that this matter was not over. She had thought that Wang Zheng was just an ordinary talent from Genesis Coffee Club, who could get the approval of Dong Er’s old man. But it looked like he was not such a simple person. Anyone so closely attended to by the likes of Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er was rare. Their talk of choosing all three had been a joke, but they were only half-jesting. That guy’s looks were average, and quite a ways from what was handsome by Aslan standards. Given the taste of Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er…
The three who were hiding and watching had not expected things to reach this stage. Paars’ interruption had thrown their plan asunder. They had wanted to resolve this matter “amiably”, but now it had been ruined. But the way they saw it, it was resolved nevertheless.
“Dong Er, it’s over now, although not perfectly.” Huiyin smiled.
Dong Er nodded. “I felt like he had backbone, just like my dad. Capable, unafraid of strength, but also with a heart. It’s not good for men to be too petty. That’s childish. I like those who are a little more mature and forgiving.”
Lin Huiyin started. “That guy has a bad temper. You would know that after knowing him for a while.”
At that moment, Dong Er and Qian Xuedie turned to face Lin Huiyin. “Huiyin, why do I feel like something is fishy? Dong Er, have you noticed?” Xuedie said as she sucked on a gobstopper lollipop.
“I long suspected there was something fishy. She was listless and had no energy in this period. Suddenly, she’s glowing. Our esteemed Princess, is there something you wish to say?” Dong Er was no fool. The two quickly closed in on the helpless princess.
