BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53
She wanted to hide from him, and it was the kind of hiding where she was eager to fling everything cleanly away to hide, as if he was some kind of plague. This was a very novel feeling for him, but it was nothing more than just that. It didn't reach the point where he felt like he wanted to investigate the case deeper!
He, Liu Haoyu, had never feared the unknown, because challenging the unknown has always been the only reason why he felt like life was the slightest bit interesting, and worth living for. But when he saw her again, the light in her eyes suddenly caused a torrent of unexpected surprise and pain to surge in his heart. Although the feeling was fleeting, it caused him to break his doctrine once again towards the unexpected and unpredicted, and made him decide to temporarily keep this woman by his side.
Because he suddenly had a kind of uncertain feeling that something was about to break free out of his control. This kind of feeling was both unfamiliar and caused him to faintly feel anxious! Ever since he was young, he knew that no matter what it was, be it people or objects, in order to prevent the track from drifting off course before he had a clear understanding of it, he had to strictly control it and pursue each point to find the answer he sought. Otherwise he would have to mercilessly destroy it!
The safest method for a woman, especially a woman that he was physically fascinated by, was to completely destroy her. However, this woman made him inexplicably reluctant to do so. Between killing her or keeping her alive, it seemed like he was more inclined to keeping this woman!
Since he was both reluctant and curious, then he wouldn't mind taking some time to carefully investigate it, until he hated her…
Lowering his head, Liu Haoyu's scattered bangs blocked most of his glasses. It also concealed the stern chilliness within the depths of his slightly upturned slender phoenix eyes.
Compared to Liu Haoyu's calm and composed casual elegance, was Zhou Min's helplessness and embarrassment. The stark contrast made Ruan Ru's fingers tightly sink into her flesh as she looked at the people embracing at the door!
Zhou Min did not expect that her wholeheartedly embarrassed and awkward expression had actually become that type of explanation in front of Liu Haoyu. Fortunately, she did not know, otherwise she would definitely find a piece of tofu and kill herself¹!
¹TN: This is actually a Shanghainese saying describing how low of a mistake something is/was done. Basically having done something without thinking, picking up a stone and dropping it on one's own foot type of thing.
Sometimes, it must be said that some people had such terrible luck that they would get something caught in their teeth even when drinking water. Feeling the large hand tightly clasped on her waist, Zhou Min almost screamed out from the scorching heat radiating from it. It was also then that Liu Haoyu lowered his head once again, ambiguously whispering by Zhou Min's ear, "Student Jiang, let's have a chat!"
Chat…but I don't want to have a chat with you…
Liu Haoyu's words were laced with a hint of threat, causing Zhou Min's back to shiver from chills. Also, she sensitively felt the large hand firmly around her waist lightly caress her lecherously before giving the soft flesh there a gentle pinch. This caused both her legs to soften as Liu Haoyu took the opportunity to embrace her even tighter!
Seeing Zhou Min softly collapsed within his embrace, that desire, which neither beautiful elegant ladies nor charming bewitching nymphs were able to incite, instantly had a tendency to look up. This caused Liu Haoyu to hug the person in his arms even tighter, pressing her soft tenderness closer to his firmness.
"Student Jiang Min, what do you think?" Liu Haoyu's voice laced with some tenderness sounded out again, as if it was even laced with a smile. The blazing heat that could be felt through the thin layers of clothes, radiating from the pair of firm arms did not allow for refusal as they tightly enclosed around Zhou Min's waist. She could be picked up with just a gentle lift.
As for that hardness protruding out and seemingly prodding her lower abdomen, there were some feelings of revolt, but even more so were the feelings of shock and embarrassment. Zhou Min looked at Liu Haoyu in disbelief, her eyes filled with alarm!
Her body subconsciously began to struggle. As if knowing that she would struggle, Liu Haoyu grabbed her waist with one hand, while the other hand easily reached out to press against the back of her head. He pressed her face tightly against the front of his chest as he gave a faint look towards the private booth. Then, he just left while embracing Zhou Min with a clatter.
The interaction between Zhou Min and Liu Haoyu, as if there were no one around, caused Ruan Ru's eyes to almost pop out. Even more so was the flames within her eyes that threatened to sear out. One was the flower on a mountain's peak¹, the school's goddess, and the other was the out of reach, unapproachable male god. Although they were both in the same class, Liu Haoyu had already held control of the Liu Conglomerate long ago. Because he had continued to further expand their business empire, the number of times he came to class could be counted on one's fingers.
¹TN: Used to describe a female that is nearly unattainable, just like how difficult it would be to get a flower that's sitting on the top of a mountain.
That's why although the class always had this person, from the first year until now, the number of times that he had appeared within class could be basically counted on only one hand. Aside from the times he had never been absent at the end of each semester, there wasn't even a hint of his shadow within classes. Despite this, his grades have always firmly occupied the prized throne of being the number one in the school. There hasn't been even a single semester where he has conceded this spot.
Thus, with his grades, in addition to his family background and appearance, there were no qualms that he was a well deserved, uncrowned king. The Emperor of Qing University. As for Jiang Ming, her grades have always firmly stood just under Liu Haoyu, so both their face values added with their intellect had always made them as Qing University's god and queen. However, it has always been an existence of the king without a queen. There has never been any gossip about them but this also stemmed from how both were the type of people to keep to themselves, clean and honest. The only exception was the recent rumor that had begun to spread around the school, saying how Su Xiaoxiao was Liu Haoyu's supposed girlfriend.
Although she snorted disdainfully, sometimes, when she saw how Liu Haoyu, who had never allowed any females near him before, suddenly allowed Su Xiaoxiao to follow him right and left, she still didn't dare to do much to her². To the point where, several times, even when Su Xiaoxiao was bullied, although Liu Haoyu did not directly intervene in person, he still sent the people around him to safeguard her. Thus, in Qing University, even though this place was crawling with the second generation of officials and second generation rich, no one dared to do anything to Su Xiaoxiao.
²TN: So the original text is actually a fragment that doesn't describe how Ruan Ru felt as she watched what went on with Su Xiaoxiao. However, what was written was just based on what was mentioned later on.
On the contrary, under the unconcealed escorts that Liu Haoyu provided, Su Xiaoxiao had gotten a kind of development where it seemed like she was being complimented by such a rich and powerful son within the school! Although her appearance couldn't be compared with Jiang Min's at all, however, because of Liu Haoyu's interference, she actually had a feeling that she was on par with Jiang Min!
But what did she see now? These two people, who were originally supposed to not have anything to do with each other, were actually embracing one another quite intimately! Ruan Ru's heart suddenly seeped out a thread of a very complicated feeling. A crazy thought flitted through her mind. How wonderful would it be if it was her that Liu Haoyu was embracing!
Although she didn't want to admit it, Ruan Ru had to admit that Liu Haoyu's lethality was more than enough to have all the Chinese women go crazy over him. She was not an exception!
Ruan Ru looked at Zhou Min, who was being carried away by Liu Haoyu, and subconsciously put on her shoes in a flurry before running out the door. However, she didn't know why she needed to go out. At that moment, what she thought of wasn't Zhou Min, but rather Liu Haoyu. "Liu, Liu Haoyu, Classmate Liu! I, I am Ruan Ru. I, I am Xiao Min's³ friend…" Upon realizing what she had said, Ruan Ru abruptly had a guilty conscious type of feeling, immediately adding, "I, you, can't, can't do this…"
³TN: I can't recall if I've made a TN about this before but when you have 'xiao (name)' it usually means 'little (name)'. It's a pet name of sorts that people tend to use in Chinese.
