Leaving Wang Qing's house,

Ye Xiao returned to school. Zhao Dapeng was his brother, and when Zhao Dapeng was in trouble, it was only right for him to show some support. As for matters outside school, he really wasn't interested.

Although the school walls were three or four meters high, Ye Xiao was a cut above the rest – a light leap, and he was over that wall!

By this time, it was nearly two o'clock. Ye Xiao initially wanted to change his clothes, but he didn't have the keys to the villa, and going back to Sunshine Garden would take more time. So, he decided not to bother getting changed and ran straight for his classroom!

The brawl outside the school had quickly become the talk of the whole school. However, no one knew who specifically was involved. Many speculated it was some hoodlums' internal strife. But what surprised many was that such incidents usually happened at night – why had one kicked off during the day?

When Ye Xiao arrived back in the classroom, classes had not yet started, and there was a bustle of chatter and laughter.

As soon as Ye Xiao entered, several students approached him. Of course, they weren't there to give him a hard time, but rather they were Zhan Bo's current 'little brothers'. Had Han Fei and Liuu Xinlei suffered a setback at noon, they would have strutted back into class by now. Yet with Ye Xiao returning unscathed, it looked like it wouldn't be as easy for Han Fei and the others to make a comeback.

"Brother Xiao, where have you been?" Zhan Bo quickly approached Ye Xiao, noticing the bloodstains on his clothes, and stared at him in shock!

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "I just stepped out for a bit!"

Zhan Bo asked, "What happened to you? Brother Xiao, you didn't get into a fight, did you? Just tell us, and we'll go and avenge you!"

"Yeah, Brother Xiao, we'll avenge you!" More than a dozen others in the classroom raised their voices in agreement!

The classroom noise dwindled to just these few voices, and almost everyone's eyes turned towards Ye Xiao and his group.

Ye Xiao gestured with his hand and replied, "I'm fine. You guys do what you need to do. Zhan Bo, you still have a lot of things to take care of!"

Seeing that Ye Xiao didn't want to elaborate, Zhan Bo didn't dare to probe further and nodded, "Yes, Brother Xiao!"

Afterward, Zhan Bo gestured for his crew to return to their seats and then went back to his own. Ye Xiao returned to his seat as well. With nothing to do, he continued reading his novel, but within a few minutes, he was hit by a crumpled piece of paper!

Ye Xiao lifted his head in confusion and saw Zhou Yuyan looking at him and pointing at the paper ball on his desk.

Looking at the paper ball on the desk, Ye Xiao was very puzzled, but he picked it up and unfolded it to see a few lines written:

'How can you be such a negligent bodyguard? Where did you go? Who was that beauty this morning? You'd better explain this – you're on duty right now!'

At this moment, Zhou Yuyan and Ling Shuya were sitting together. When Zhou Yuyan saw Ye Xiao reading the note, she couldn't help but chuckle. Ling Shuya asked curiously, "What did you write to him?"

Zhou Yuyan relayed the content of the note to Ling Shuya, who immediately let out a wry smile and commented, "You're being quite nosy, aren't you?"

Zhou Yuyan promptly responded, "Don't you want to know?"

Ling Shuya replied, "Why would I want to know? Of course, I'd rather not. But you, acting all lovesick – be careful Ye Xiao doesn't get the wrong idea and think you fancy him. That would be troublesome!"

Zhou Yuyan said nonchalantly, "So what? Oh, right, did you see it? There are specks and spots all over Ye Xiao's clothes, and they really look like something!"

"What thing?" Ling Shuya asked, bewildered.

Zhou Yuyan looked around and then said mysteriously, "Blood!"

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ling Shuya's brows furrowed slightly. What's this about blood?

A thought suddenly struck Ling Shuya. Just a moment ago, someone had mentioned that there had been a brutal fight off-campus at noon, with tales of legs and arms flying everywhere. Naturally, she didn't believe these stories, but she did believe there had been a fight. Especially now, after hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya even began to suspect that this incident might very well be related to Ye Xiao!

With that thought, Ling Shuya turned her head and glanced at Ye Xiao, only to find Ye Xiao looking in her direction!

"Could the incident that was rumored at school at noon be true?" Ling Shuya asked Zhou Yuyan, puzzled.

Zhou Yuyan replied, "It should be true. It's said that the police and emergency medical staff came, and several people were taken away in ambulances. But, are you suggesting that Ye Xiao might be involved in this?"

Ling Shuya said, "I don't know, but if there really are bloodstains on him, then it's hard to say!"

Zhou Yuyan nodded and said, "You have a point. But why would he get into such a vicious fight? Do you think it could be because of the woman from this morning?"

Ling Shuya immediately thought and said, "Could it be that Ye Xiao went out this morning to stand up for this woman? But she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would look for trouble. Besides, my dad said that Ye Xiao shouldn't be that capable!"

"Furthermore, has Ye Xiao really snagged a girl just within these few days he has been here? That's incredibly fast!" Zhou Yuyan added, somewhat surprised, "If that's the case, Ye Xiao seems to be quite the seducer. Looks like we'll need to be wary of this guy in the future!"

After pondering a moment, Ling Shuya asked, "Based on the note you just passed him, what do you think his reply will be?"

Zhou Yuyan answered, "If that girl is really a girlfriend he managed to charm, I guess he would definitely respond by insisting that he has nothing to do with that girl!"

"You're not wrong. Let's see how Ye Xiao responds!"

As they were talking, suddenly, a note hit Zhou Yuyan's hair, bounced off, and then landed on Ling Shuya's head before settling down comfortably on the table.

Zhou Yuyan and Ling Shuya immediately looked toward Ye Xiao but found him diligently reading a book!

"Hmph, let's open it and see!" Ling Shuya picked up the note and said.

Quickly, she opened the note, but upon doing so, Ling Shuya immediately turned to Zhou Yuyan and said, "I knew it, she is his girlfriend. He's actually dating while on the job!"

Zhou Yuyan quickly grabbed the note and read it. It turned out to be a simple reply from Ye Xiao but indeed the same words he had said earlier, "I have nothing to do with her!"

Zhou Yuyan asked, "Maybe they really have nothing to do with each other?"

Ling Shuya replied, "How could that be possible? I bet they're definitely in an improper relationship. He's even dating during work, I really want to fire him!"

Zhou Yuyan responded, "There's nothing you can do about it. You can't fire him; looks like he's going to be with you for at least two years!"

After pondering for a moment, Ling Shuya suddenly said with a smile, "I may not be able to fire him, but at least I can dock his pay!"
