ZHAO Yuyang did not want JIN Shaoze to stray from the right path. Sometimes, JIN Shaoze would engage in fights and indulge in smoking and drinking. ZHAO Yuyang would always remind him, but JIN Shaoze would only listen in passing. ZHAO Yuyang had no control over what JIN Shaoze thought, and he felt he lacked the ability to do more.

Besides, Jin Shaoze has always been decisive. He didn't like to say much, hoping to just safely get through high school. Zhao Yuyang thought to himself.

The lingering summer heat still weighed heavily, making people feel sultry. Zhong Yi stared at the small screen, his fingers swiftly tapping on the skills to kill enemies. Sweat drops rolled down his slightly fair forehead.

"Damn it, lost again!" Zhong Yi threw his phone and flopped onto the bed, lying spread-eagled. He closed his eyes, taking a moment to calm himself down.

Lately, I've been having a streak of bad luck. Every time I play a round, I end up losing. It's really frustrating. Playing games is supposed to be enjoyable, but whenever I play against Zhong Yi, it just ruins my mood. I feel so angry that I want to drag the game creator out of the screen and give them a good beating, even if they end up unrecognizable.

Glancing at the time, it was nearly noon. Zhong Yi decided to put down the game, go and register for his class, have lunch, and then come back to play another round in the evening. If he lost, he would never touch that lousy game again.

Hey, other people have their family members accompanying them. Zhong Yi's dad is a doctor, and his mom is an office worker, so they don't have time. Thus, Zhong Yi had to come to the school to register by himself. This poor child is going through a hard time.

Zhong Yi didn't really mind. After all, it would be troublesome if they came, so it was more convenient to handle it himself.

After calling my parents to let them know I was safe, that guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere from behind just now, scaring Zhong Yi so much that he almost dropped his phone.

"Hey! Dude, are you from Class X?"

Zhong Yi glanced at him with a sideways glance and an expressionless face. "Hmm, and you are?"

"I'm Zhao Yuyang. The guy behind me is Jin Shaoze. We're in the same class as you. What's your name?" Zhao Yuyang bounced around, with two dimples on the corners of his mouth, looking quite appealing.

Zhong Yi raised an eyebrow. Jin Shaoze? It's no wonder that Zhong Yi felt surprised. After all, Jin Shaoze is the school's academic genius and heartthrob, well-known by everyone.

So he turned around to look at Jin Shaoze. Jin Shaoze was on the phone, smiling particularly sleazy but it did not affect his handsomeness at all. On the contrary, it made him quite charming.

Zhong Yi turned around and looked at Zhao Yu Yang again, giving him a faint smile. "Zhong Yi."

Originally, Zhong Yi's eyes already resembled those of a fox, but when he smiled, his eyes would narrow even further, becoming even more enticing. Countless girls were envious of these seductive eyes.

Zhao Yuyang was amazed by Zhong Yi's beauty, but soon calmed down. After all, no matter how beautiful Zhong Yi was, he was still a boy.

"Zhongyi?" He shouted with a crooked mouth, calling out Zhongyi's name once, feeling that this name was quite interestingly chosen.

The tones of "yi" and "yi" are the same, and Zhong Yi is also unaware that Zhao Yuyang has mistakenly thought of his name as "Zhong Yi". He simply nods calmly, "Hmm."

Zhao Yuyang is a wild and crazy person. While Jin Shaoze was on a phone call, there was no one to accompany him in conversation. So, he latched onto Zhong Yi, whom Zhong Yi found quite cute, and decided to keep him company.

"Do you know He Xiao? She was in the same class as us," Zhao Yuyang glanced back at Jin Shaoze and leaned in closer to Zhong Yi's ear, saying, "He Xiao is his girlfriend."

Zhao Yuyang quickly glanced at Jin Shaoze with his eyes.

Zhong Yi responded coldly with a dismissive "Oh," wishing them happiness and a lifetime of good fortune.

He Xiao, everyone knows her. She is one of the widely recognized "Three School Beauties". They say she is beautiful and sweet-tongued. However, Zhong Yi doesn't know much about her as he listens to what those guys in the first-year class say.

Zhao Yuyang waved his hand and patted Zhong Yi's back, then said, "But Jin Shaoze said he wants to break up with He Xiao."

"Parting ways amicably, it won't be difficult to meet again." Zhong Yi still had no expression on his face.

"But He Xiao disagrees," Zhao Yuyang said, sounding a little disappointed.

Zhong Yi furrowed his brows, not really wanting to discuss this topic. "Then let's continue."

"Ai..." Zhao Yuyang sighed, "Xiaoxiao is my goddess. I have liked her for a year, but in her eyes, there is only Jin Shaoze."

"Then go dig at the base of the wall," Zhang Yi said indifferently.

Zhao Yuyang stared at Zhong Yi with wide eyes and said, "Brother, be steady!"

"You're the one who’s afraid of death and too afraid to speak up. It wouldn't cost you your life to express yourself, who knows, they might just agree and dump Jin Shaoze," Zhong Yi lifted an eyebrow and said, "Right?"

Zhao Yuyang nodded thoughtfully, feeling that it made sense.

Zhong Yi simply felt that if he liked her, he should confess and tell her directly. Even if it meant ruining their friendship, what's the point of being friends if they couldn't be together.

"Where are you heading now?" Zhao Yuyang asked him.

"Sign up," Zhong Yi shrugged.

"We have all applied, so you should go." Zhao Yuyang pointed to Jin Shaoze, who was still on the phone. "We are going to eat now."

Zhong Yi made a sound of acknowledgment and said expressionlessly, "I'll leave first."

"Sure, see you in the afternoon!" Zhao Yuyang smiled at him, revealing the two dimples by the corners of his mouth again. It was absolutely adorable.

When he left, Zhong Yi glanced at Jin Shaoze, and Jin Shaoze happened to catch sight of him too. Their eyes met briefly, causing Zhong Yi to shudder with goosebumps. Before he could shift his gaze away, he saw Jin Shaoze quickly look elsewhere, completely ignoring him. Zhong Yi rolled his eyes in annoyance and walked away with hastened steps.
