"Principal Yao, I'm a straightforward person. If I took the answers, it was to cheat. Principal Yao, is cheating a crime?" Ye Xiao looked at Yao Zhengming with a smile!

Yao Zhengming immediately said, "No crime, of course no crime!"

"Wrong, it should be a crime, but I am not guilty, right?" Ye Xiao burst into laughter as he stood up and then left the principal's office directly.

Yao Zhengming was left standing there in a daze, facing a low-key luxurious kind of arrogance, the only thing he could do was to feel helpless!

Zhou Hao is now the captain of Blood Blade, and Blood Blade will be his responsibility from now on, so naturally, the security issue of Minghai Academy also falls on Zhou Hao's shoulders!

After Ye Xiao had arranged the security issue of Minghai Academy, he immediately felt much more relaxed.

By now, it was around eleven o'clock, half an hour before the end of the exam. The exam had been going on for two hours, and those students who knew the answers had mostly finished, while those who didn't know them had given up!

This exam was exceptionally strict, probably because Yao Zhengming had just taken office and wanted to make an impactful start. However, in this rigorous pursuit, Ye Xiao was the only exception!

Almost everyone was taking the exam now, so Ye Xiao really was a bit bored. He slowly walked out of the administration building, and just as he was wondering where to go, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking down the road in the distance.

Guan Xiaonan?

Ye Xiao was puzzled. Shouldn't Guan Xiaonan be in class right now? What was she doing on campus?

Upon further thought, Ye Xiao suddenly laughed. He was supposed to be taking the exam as well, yet here he was. This girl must have finished her exam and was confident in her answers, so she left early!

Just as Ye Xiao was about to go over and greet Guan Xiaonan, he noticed that a tall, strapping young man was following her—Xiong Tao!

Ye Xiao was slightly puzzled. Was this guy Xiong Tao chasing after Guan Xiaonan? Was this kid getting itchy again? Hmm, better see what Xiaonan thinks first. If she really likes Xiong Tao, it wouldn't be right for me to interfere.

"Xiaonan, Xiaonan, wait up!" Xiong Tao hurried after Guan Xiaonan!

Guan Xiaonan turned to look at Xiong Tao, who was holding an apple and a drink in his hands.

"Xiaonan, you must be thirsty after the exam. Have a drink!" Xiong Tao said with a smile.

Guan Xiaonan politely refused, "No thanks, Xiong Tao, I have things to do, so please stop following me!"

Hearing her response, Xiong Tao quickly said, "What's up, Xiaonan? Where are you going? I can give you a lift."

"No need, I'll just take a cab!" Guan Xiaonan said, turning to walk towards the school gate.

Xiong Tao, feeling very upset after being disregarded despite his concern, immediately stepped forward to block Guan Xiaonan's path.

"Xiaonan, the wishes of our parents and the matchmakers have already arranged this matter. I hope you won't keep avoiding it because evasion is useless!" Xiong Tao's demeanor turned stern.

Guan Xiaonan looked up at Xiong Tao and snorted, saying, "The arrangement was made by my father. If you want, you can go talk to him. Don't bother me. Don't forget that we cherish the freedom to choose our own marriage partners nowadays. I can't commit my life to someone I feel nothing for just because of something my father said."

"You..." Xiong Tao frowned, annoyed, and said, "Xiaonan, you shouldn't be so willful. It's not good for you or your father, and even when your father meets with mine, he gives him due respect!"

Guan Xiaonan had been holding back her anger, but upon hearing Xiong Tao's words, her face turned ashen!

"Xiong Tao, remember this: no matter what my father is like, I am me, and nobody can change what I want!" Guan Xiaonan glared at Xiong Tao.

Xiong Tao then said, "Since you're so stubborn, I won't say any more. But if one day something happens to your family, hmph, don't come begging me!"

Hearing this, Guan Xiaonan's expression changed drastically. Clearly, Xiong Tao's words carried a deeper meaning.

Just as Guan Xiaonan was about to ask Xiong Tao why something would happen to her family, a cheery voice came through,

"She will definitely not be coming to you, because she has me to deal with everything!"

This voice, coming so suddenly, startled both Xiong Tao and Guan Xiaonan, who immediately turned to look towards its source.

"Brother Xiao!" Xiong Tao exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was now a notable figure at Minghai Academy. Although many were unaware that he had become essentially the most influential person at Minghai Academy, Xiong Tao was well aware, even about the incident in the conference room the day before.

Ye Xiao didn't even glance at Xiong Tao, but went straight to Guan Xiaonan's side and naturally wrapped his arm around her slender waist, only then smilingly turned to Xiong Tao and said, "So Boss Xiong is here too!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xiong Tao couldn't help but give a bitter smile. Ye Xiao now calling him Boss Xiong was clearly meant as sarcasm, and what's more, Ye Xiao was currently embracing the woman he liked!

Guan Xiaonan was also somewhat surprised because after all, this was a school, and although she didn't like being restrained by others, she was still a student. Being embraced around the waist by Ye Xiao on school grounds really made her quite embarrassed. But, she knew Ye Xiao did it on purpose, so she didn't struggle.

"Brother Xiao, did you finish the exam, how did it go?" As much as Xiong Tao was reluctant about Ye Xiao holding Guan Xiaonan, he didn't dare to say anything and instead changed the subject to something trivial.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Getting first place shouldn't be a problem. Just now I heard Boss Xiong say something that seemed meaningful, Xiaonan, tell me, did Boss Xiong threaten you?"

Before Guan Xiaonan could speak, Xiong Tao rushed to say to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, you misunderstood, I was just joking with Xiaonan. Go ahead and chat, I suddenly feel the urge to use the restroom, so..."

"Go ahead, holding it in is very bad for married life," Ye Xiao said with a light laugh!

Even though Xiong Tao was mocked by Ye Xiao, he didn't dare to retort and quickly left.

"Now that he's gone, can you let go of me?" Seeing that Xiong Tao had left but Ye Xiao was still holding her, Guan Xiaonan promptly reminded him.

Ye Xiao, however, seemed unconcerned and spoke with a teasing smile, "What does him leaving have anything to do with me? I'll hold you if I want to, this isn't something I need to report to anyone, right? Or have you forgotten that your body belongs to me?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Guan Xiaonan was rendered speechless. Was she replacing a tiger with a wolf?

Xiong Tao wasn't even up to being a wolf, but this Ye Xiao was indeed a ferocious tiger.

Before Guan Xiaonan could reply, Ye Xiao continued, "It looks like you're about to leave school, where are you going?"

"Just feeling bored with nothing to do, thought I'd go out for a stroll."

"A stroll? Would you like some company?" Ye Xiao quickly asked with a grin upon hearing Guan Xiaonan's words.

"Actually, I'm fine by myself!" Guan Xiaonan said, then glanced at Ye Xiao's expression and quickly added, "Of course, it might be nicer to have someone along!"

"Then let's go, I'll accompany you shopping, and you can treat me to lunch. Just like that, happily decided!" Ye Xiao chuckled to Guan Xiaonan.

Guan Xiaonan was instantly speechless—what did he mean by 'happily decided'?

"You're a guy, it's the guy who should treat the girl to lunch!" Guan Xiaonan covered her wallet with one hand while speaking somewhat reluctantly.

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "There's no law that stipulates that, so, hehe, fair exchange!"

Guan Xiaonan didn't know what to do with Ye Xiao, so she just sighed and said, "Alright, but I don't have money to treat you to a feast!"

"No problem, just a little abalone and lobster will do!" Ye Xiao said, "Can't eat too well, after all, excess nutrition is definitely not okay!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Guan Xiaonan was speechless again. Weren't those foods he mentioned already considered excessive in nutrition?

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the school, and Ye Xiao's hand stayed on Guan Xiaonan's slender waist the whole time. Guan Xiaonan felt helpless and let Ye Xiao keep his hand there.

After leaving Minghai Academy, Guan Xiaonan suddenly looked towards an internet cafe diagonally across from them and said, "Wow, there's a League of Legends competition going on!"

"League of Legends?" Ye Xiao followed Guan Xiaonan's gaze and indeed, there was a banner across the street at the internet cafe. It turned out there was a small tournament for League of Legends being held in the cafe today. However, the prize for the champion was quite nice—a thousand-yuan internet cafe card.

Although a thousand-yuan internet cafe card didn't seem like much, after all, it was only for a cafe competition.

"League of Legends has been popular for several years now, to think it's still so popular!" Ye Xiao said with some surprise.

Guan Xiaonan immediately said, "Of course, it's easy to get into, so naturally, many people like to play it. Why don't we go have a look?"

"Do you like to play too?" Ye Xiao asked.

"It's okay, I play a few games when I have time, usually lose more than I win!" Despite saying "lose more," Ye Xiao could still see the enthusiasm in Guan Xiaonan's eyes.

It was at that moment that groups of young people, in threes and fives, came out of the school—some groups of boys, some groups of girls, or mixed groups—and their only destination was the Deep Internet Cafe!

"It seems this cafe competition has attracted quite a number of players!" Ye Xiao noted, looking at the young people who would usually stare at beauties but now seemed oblivious to the goddess-like Guan Xiaonan. Instead, they were discussing how the Sword Saint steals turrets, or how Ashe unleashes a vital enchanted crystal arrow.
