Kang Xiaokai had always been watching his goddess, Jiang Miaoke, so he completely missed the somewhat mocking smile on Ye Xiao's face. Of course, Ye Xiao had no intention of letting Kang Xiaokai notice it. He didn't want to get entangled with these rich young masters. However, someone standing behind Kang Xiaokai did see the smile on Ye Xiao's face and immediately looked at Ye Xiao, sizing him up, and said, "Coco, who is this?"

Jiang Miaoke heard the person speak and immediately said, "Liuu Junhao, do you know him?"

"I don't. I just saw him walking with you and wanted to ask if he's a relative of yours, Coco," Liuu Junhao said with a smile.

Kang Xiaokai also looked at the smiling Ye Xiao and asked, "What are you smiling about?"

Although Kang Xiaokai always maintained a gentle and kind outward appearance, this was primarily for Jiang Miaoke to see. As for Ye Xiao, he didn't need to maintain that façade.

Facing Kang Xiaokai's question, Ye Xiao continued to smile and said, "I was born with a smiling face. Surely, you wouldn't restrict an irrelevant person's freedom to smile."

"But your expression clearly shows you're mocking," Liuu Junhao said, as if fearing the world wouldn't be chaotic enough.

"You dare to mock me?" At this time, Kang Xiaokai was already in a bad mood, so upon hearing Liuu Junhao's words, he immediately directed all his anger at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "How could I? I'm just an ordinary person, how could I dare to mock you? I just naturally like to smile; you might have misunderstood."

Ye Xiao's words were humble and courteous, making it hard for Kang Xiaokai to find a flaw, but it seemed Liuu Junhao wasn't the only one fearing the world wouldn't be chaotic enough.

"Do you want to know who he is?" Jiang Miaoke suddenly smiled sweetly at Ye Xiao.

Seeing Jiang Miaoke's smiling eyes, Ye Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling.

Kang Xiaokai immediately said, "I don't care who he is; it has nothing to do with me. I only have one thought: you should be my girlfriend, unless you already have a boyfriend."

It was unclear whether Kang Xiaokai was bewitched or genuinely liked Jiang Miaoke and wanted her to be his girlfriend.

However, when Kang Xiaokai said this, Jiang Miaoke immediately laughed and said, "So if I already have a boyfriend, will you stop bothering me?"

"This..." Kang Xiaokai hesitated upon hearing Jiang Miaoke's words, as he had just promised.

Without waiting for Kang Xiaokai to speak, Jiang Miaoke wrapped her arms around Ye Xiao's arm, pressing her body close to his, and smiled, "He's my boyfriend, so you can leave now."

Upon hearing Jiang Miaoke's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but grin. Gritting his teeth, he decided to help Jiang Miaoke at all costs.

"Coco, you must be cautious when choosing a boyfriend. Even if you don't choose someone as excellent as me, you should still do yourself justice. So, Coco, don't let a moment of impulse cause a lifelong regret. Remember, this regret lasts a lifetime," Kang Xiaokai said to Jiang Miaoke, but his eyes stared daggers at Ye Xiao.

Listening to Kang Xiaokai's words, Ye Xiao was also a bit displeased. Did this mean he was so inferior? Was Jiang Miaoke losing a lifetime by choosing him?

However, less trouble is better than more trouble. Ye Xiao had already offended enough people in Bird City.

Therefore, Ye Xiao said nothing.

Jiang Miaoke was immediately unhappy hearing Kang Xiaokai's harsh words about Ye Xiao. Even though Ye Xiao was her fake boyfriend, he shouldn't be disrespected like that. Did it mean she, Jiang Miaoke, had poor taste?

"Kang Xiaokai, watch your words. Ye Xiao is much better than you in every way," Jiang Miaoke said, though she only intended to use Ye Xiao as a temporary shield, she couldn't let anyone look down upon that shield. Disrespecting Ye Xiao now was equivalent to disrespecting Jiang Miaoke.

Kang Xiaokai didn't respond, but Liuu Junhao beside him chuckled and said, "Coco, that's not quite right. How could anyone be better in every aspect? Or is it that your so-called boyfriend has no strengths to show, and you said that on purpose? Or maybe he's just your shield?"

Liuu Junhao had guessed the truth of the matter, making Jiang Miaoke feel quite embarrassed. She immediately said to Liuu Junhao, "You're wrong. I can tell you, your strengths are nothing compared to his."

"Coco!" Ye Xiao, seeing Jiang Miaoke's words might have some bad effects, quickly said to Jiang Miaoke beside him, "Weren't you hungry? Let's go eat."

However, Jiang Miaoke seemed not to hear Ye Xiao's words, and Liuu Junhao even more so.

Liuu Junhao looked at Ye Xiao and said, "So your name is Ye Xiao. But no matter what dogshit name you have, I'm going to take you on today. Didn't Coco say my strengths are nothing in front of you? For your information, I'm the vice-president of the Bird University Martial Arts Club, so naturally, my strengths lie in martial arts."

Hearing Liuu Junhao wanted to fight, Jiang Miaoke got very excited. After all, he understood Ye Xiao's skills the best, so dealing with Liuu Junhao and Kang Xiaokai was a piece of cake. So, he immediately chuckled and said, "Alright, it's settled."

"In such a public place, how can we resort to fighting? A gentleman uses his words, not his fists. Let's talk about the taste of the spicy crabs here instead," Ye Xiao hurriedly chuckled and said to Jiang Miaoke.

Jiang Miaoke wasn't pleased to see Ye Xiao backing down.

At this moment, Kang Xiaokai spoke up.

"Coco, it seems your pretend boyfriend isn't very obedient. Did you pay him? How much? Coco, let's not joke around. This guy is not worthy of you. In all of Xuan University, only I have the qualifications to be your boyfriend," Kang Xiaokai said, seeing Ye Xiao seemed reluctant to fight, making him believe Ye Xiao was a fraud.

Regarding Kang Xiaokai and Liuu Junhao, Ye Xiao really didn't pay them any mind. In his eyes, these two were just clowns. Is it necessary to take people like this too seriously? Absolutely not.

Was Ye Xiao afraid to fight? Of course not. Beating someone to death is like a game to Ye Xiao.

But Ye Xiao didn't want to fight because disposing of these two held no value for him. After all, Ye Xiao was a Martial Artist close to the Earth Rank, while the others were mere ordinary people. Fighting them is like a strong adult fighting a baby—that's simply bullying. Ye Xiao really didn't want to do that.

Jiang Miaoke turned to look at Ye Xiao and shouted, "What's up with you? Go teach them a lesson!"

"Have you ever seen an adult fight one or two kids?" Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Let's just leave it. They like you, which means you have charm, and that's not a bad thing. Aren't you hungry anymore? You just talked about eating spicy crabs."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Jiang Miaoke burst into laughter, clearly understanding that Ye Xiao viewed Kang Xiaokai and Liuu Junhao as mere children.

"Alright, alright. Did you hear? Adults don't hold grudges against children. We're going to eat now. Even though your performance today wasn't great, we adhere to the fine virtue of forgiving others, so we won't hold it against you," Jiang Miaoke said happily, holding Ye Xiao's arm as they headed toward the entrance of Youle Residence.

However, just as they took a step, a cold wind suddenly came rushing toward the back of Ye Xiao's head. The punch came so quickly that even Jiang Miaoke, who was holding Ye Xiao's arm, didn't notice.

Nonetheless, it didn't matter if others noticed or not, because Ye Xiao perceived it clearly.

The fist, carried by a swift wind, aimed right at the back of Ye Xiao's head. Just as it was about to hit, a hand suddenly appeared and firmly caught the sneaky punch.

It was only then that Jiang Miaoke realized someone was trying to sneak attack Ye Xiao.

Jiang Miaoke looked along the arm and then glanced at a grim-faced Liuu Junhao.

"Liuu Junhao, are you insane? Ye Xiao was kind enough to let you go, and you resorted to a sneak attack?" Jiang Miaoke angrily glared at Liuu Junhao.

But neither Liuu Junhao nor Kang Xiaokai was paying attention to Jiang Miaoke because at that moment, they thought focusing on Ye Xiao was more important.

Liuu Junhao was considered a fierce fighter at Southern University, almost undefeated whenever he fought, let alone in a sneak attack situation. Yet here, Liuu Junhao attempted a sneak attack, only for his punch to be caught by Ye Xiao.

Liuu Junhao was in disbelief, knowing full well that he had attempted a sneak attack while Ye Xiao was supposedly unaware. Yet Ye Xiao responded just as Liuu Junhao was about to succeed, swiftly catching Liuu Junhao's fist. It all happened so quickly; it was simply unimaginable.

Ye Xiao slowly turned around, looking at the stunned Liuu Junhao.

"Is it necessary? Do you need a beating to be happy?" Ye Xiao said to Liuu Junhao, continuing, "I just said, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists. You resorted to a sneaky method; I should beat you. But since I haven't eaten yet, I'm afraid fighting might affect my appetite. So, just leave." Ye Xiao looked at Liuu Junhao with a smile.

With a slight push of Ye Xiao's hand, Liuu Junhao staggered back several steps, staring at Ye Xiao with astonishment.
