Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qu Xiao Xiao, childhood sweetheart…
The girl that the Previous Zhao Yu had always liked also had some feelings for him since young.
Unfortunately, she moved from a small place to a big city and experienced the diverse world.
Qu Xiao Xiao changed!
The prominent figures in the class were always Huo Li Juan and her clique.
Qu Xiao Xiao envied them and wanted to join, but Huo Li Juan mocked her mercilessly for a mere ninth-class citizen.
Unaware of this, the original character confessed his feelings to Qu Xiao Xiao at the bad timing, only to be rejected outright by the infuriated Qu Xiao Xiao.
After that, the two never spoke again. One sitting in the first row and the other in the last row at the corner.
Qu Xiao Xiao never looked back at Zhao Yu.
Upon hearing that Zhao Yu was the strongest enhanced individual, she saw her opportunity!
She had not forgotten the insult she received from Huo Li Juan.
Now was the time for payback!
Times had changed. Citizen status was no longer coveted.
In this monster-infested world, only the fittest individuals were the darlings of the new era.
With Zhao Yu’s affection for her, as long as she participated, Zhao Yu would surely protect her.
Maybe he would even get to seriously injure a monster for her to kill.
Once she became an enhancer, she vowed to return the humiliation she suffered from Huo Li Juan a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
“Wow, Qu Xiao Xiao is really lucky…”
“Yeah, her childhood sweetheart is now a enhancer…”
“I heard she rejected Zhao Yu?”
“Well, they’re childhood sweethearts; rejecting a romantic relationship doesn’t mean there are no feelings between them!”
“That’s true…”
Many looked at Qu Xiao Xiao with envy.
Huo Li Juan, who had just been the center of attention, suddenly changed her expression and looked at Qu Xiao Xiao with seriousness.
She remembered that she once mocked this woman.
Who would have thought that she was Zhao Yu’s childhood sweetheart!
Damn it!
Huo Li Juan cursed under her breath, but she didn’t regret it. How could Qu Xiao Xiao, a ninth-class citizen, join the circle of them?
She secretly thought to herself that once they encountered a monster, she would try her hardest to kill one and become an enhancer on her own.
She looked at Qu Xiao Xiao with some disdain, feeling that this woman was nothing special, just a hanger-on to a man!
Compared to her, they have a huge difference!
“I’ll go too!”
Unexpectedly, among the non-combatants, a fourth girl volunteered to join the fight.
“Liu Shu Hui?!”
Everyone was a bit surprised and puzzled why this woman stepped forward.
Zhao Yu was curious too. Did she hate him so much that she wanted to see him die with her own eyes?
Damn, it was just an accidental chest bump!
Liu Shu Hui actually didn’t want to risk her life.
But for some reason, the thought of Zhao Yu dying out there filled her with sadness.
She was confused, wondering why she felt this way about him, especially one who had bullied her.
After hesitating for a moment and seeing the other three girls volunteering to join, she decided to join rather than live in fear and regret.
With four girls from the class leading, the boys’ enthusiasm was also stirred.
After all, how could the boys not go? That would be too cowardly!
“Enough, enough, those who didn’t sign up can try next time, there’ll be other chances…” Li Hong Wei stood on the podium, repeatedly declining further volunteers.
Thus, the ten members of Class 13 of Art who would participate in the raid on the Ape Claw Beast’s den were decided.
The names were as follows: Zhao Yu, Li Hong Wei, Wang Zi Jun, Huo Li Juan, Liu Si Yu, Qu Xiao Xiao, Liu Shu Hui, Wang Teng, Tan Ming, Zhang Yong Fang.
Among them, two were enhancers and eight were non-enhancers, four males and four females.
“Victory!”
“You must come back!”
It was time to part, and the ten students stood on the podium, watched by all their classmates as they left.
Outside the classroom, Wang Zi Jun didn’t follow Huo Li Juan but stopped and waited for Zhao Yu before approaching him.
“Brother Yu, I want to ask you something…”
“Say it!” Zhao Yu had watched the drama unfold and knew Wang Zi Jun will come for a request.
“Brother Yu, you saved me twice. I shouldn’t ask more, but about Huo Li Juan…”
“I want to request your protection for Ah Juan. And about the previous incident, I apologize on behalf of her to you. Sorry, Brother Yu, she really didn’t mean it…”
Just as expected!
Zhao Yu shook his head, feeling a bit absurd.
Wang Zi Jun, who hadn’t cried when facing the Ape Claw Beast or when a teammate died, was now crying!
And moreover, in such a humble manner.
Especially since in his memory, Wang Zi Jun was a very arrogant person.
It was just like how Huo Li Juan was not popular in the girls ‘group.
She always talked about their status as eight-class citizens and looked down on others.
Wang Zi Jun was the same type of person, except that he only talked to boys.
But now, Wang Zi Jun and Huo Li Juan weren’t even dating anymore and he was acting all for her. He was really has a deep love for her!
Zhao Yu shook his head as he watched. He was a dignified man, yet he was like this because of a woman. Miserable!
“Brother Yu, I beg you. If you promise me, I’m willing to sacrifice myself for you when you are in danger…” Wang Zi Jun said through gritted teeth, as if he had made up his mind.
Looking at the determination on his face, Zhao Yu believed that he had underestimated this person. He was not just a veteran lover, he was the ancestor of all lover!
“I owe you two lives. I’ll definitely pay you back. Now, Ah Juan…”
“Okay, okay, that’s enough. I’ll help you take care of Huo Li Juan if I can!” Zhao Yu couldn’t take it anymore and quickly agreed.
“One takes on the color of one’s company.” He feared that if he spent too much time with Wang Zi Jun, he would be tainted by his love brain as well.
“Sigh—!”
Wang Zi Jun wiped away his tears, revealing a joyful expression, and hurriedly followed Huo Li Juan, who had already gone downstairs.
He knew Huo Li Juan cared about her reputation and didn’t dare say anything in public. He waited until they were away from others before whispering:
“Ah Juan, I talked to Brother Yu. He’ll look after you…”
Huo Li Juan was instantly furious, recalling her humiliating experience in the classroom.
“Get lost, I don’t need help, nor do I need Zhao Yu’s protection…”
She was frustrated by his lack of backbone and scolded: “Wang Zi Jun, you’re at least an eighth-class citizen, how can you call a ninth-class citizen ‘big brother’ and even ask for his help?!”
“You’re really a disgrace to us!” She then deliberately moved aside, as if standing with Wang Zi Jun would contaminate her.
Wang Zi Jun wanted to say something but remained silent. contemporary romance
He sighed deeply in his heart.
Times have changed, Ah Juan.. Being an eighth-class citizen isn’t as effective as being an enhancer now!
