First Volume_Chapter 244   Stupid Beauty x Sports School Male God (6)

Sunshine bathed the area, crowds surged, Jiang Zhi's petite frame almost got pushed aside; she struggled to squeeze in, barely lifted her head, and saw a youth walking down the podium.

In front of him were packed with female students, some from his own school, more from other schools, handing him bottled water.

Even the combined number of runners-up and third-place finishers couldn't match his popularity; the main reason was He Yin's peerlessly handsome face and his outstanding, flamboyant performance on the field.

Jiang Zhi couldn't squeeze through at all, let alone hand over water; she was almost flattened, staggered a few steps, and a boy in front timely supported her body, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Th-thank you." She clutched the bottled water tightly, lifted her face flushed from the scorching heat, her vision somewhat blurry, facing the sunlight she couldn't make out the boy's face.

The boy, at the moment she steadied herself, moved his arm away and softly asked, "Who are you looking for? I can help you."

Jiang Zhi shook her head and politely declined: "No need, thank you."

Having said that, she continued walking forward, her gaze scanning the surroundings; He Yin's figure had already disappeared.

She sullenly looked at the bottled water in her hand, twisted open the cap and took a big gulp, relieving her dry throat.

The boy who had supported her hadn't left yet, following behind her, he asked, "Are you looking for Senior He?"

Jiang Zhi turned her head and finally got a clear look at the boy's face.

He had a gentle, refined appearance, quite handsome, with a pair of glasses perched on his nose bridge; sunlight glinted off the lenses, obscuring the expression in his eyes.

Jiang Zhi thought for a moment, then said, "Hmm."

Mo Zijie pushed up his glasses and said, "I saw him head back to the resting room; if you want to go, I can take you there."

Jiang Zhi paused for a few seconds, curled her lips into a smile, and said, "Sure, thank you."

They left the sports field, Jiang Zhi walking behind the boy, noticing that nearby students grew fewer, gradually distancing from the noisy sports field; the scenery became unfamiliar and the sound fell silent.

Mo Zijie introduced himself as they walked: "I'm Mo Zijie, and you?"

Jiang Zhi hesitated and did not speak.

Mo Zijie quickly said, "Sorry, I misspoke."

Jiang Zhi said, "My name is Jiang Zhi Zhi."

Having said that, they arrived at a deserted equipment storage room of the school; Mo Zijie stopped, pointed inside, and said, "He Yin is in there."

Jiang Zhi suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.

Looking at this room, it hardly resembled a resting place; was he speaking nonsense with his eyes wide open?

In order to help him keep up the act, Jiang Zhi showed surprise: "Really? Thank you."

She lifted her foot to step inside, but the eyes hidden in the shadows were filled with vigilance.

A faint, shuffling footstep sounded in her ears; as the boy drew nearer, she turned around, intending to throw him over her shoulder.

【A villain appears nearby; host, please maintain your persona.】

Jiang Zhi: '?'

What? He Yin had already left; how could he come to this kind of place? Could it be that he came for her?

Being self-aware, she quickly dismissed that last thought.

How could that be possible.

His favorability is still only 2 points.

But the words of the God Pillar System, she cannot ignore.

Jiang Zhi suppressed the thought of resistance and walked inside.

A thick dust smell hit her face, slightly irritating her nose; she coughed a few times, her body heat faded, and she was enveloped by the room's chilly cold.

"There… is no one here," she said.

Behind her, Mo Zijie's excited voice rang out: "Jiang Zhi Zhi, I finally get to see you in person."

He took off his glasses, openly revealing the obsession and madness in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear her apart and devour her, stepping closer step by step.

Jiang Zhi's pupils contracted, she stepped back a few paces, and said, "Don't come closer."

Mo Zijie looked at her as if she were an object, saying, "Do you know how much I like you? Jiang Zhi Zhi, be my girlfriend, I will——"

Before he could finish, he let out a muffled groan and collapsed; behind him, a silhouette appeared.

Jiang Zhi panicked, shrinking into a corner, and didn't see this at all.

Only when that person approached her did she, frightened, pick up debris from the ground and hurl it forcefully at them.

"Don't come over!"

The person, after being pelted by her, furrowed his brows and spoke in a calm voice: "I am He Yin."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Zhi lifted her face, dust-speckled and flushed, her eyes watery and tinged with red.

"He Yin?"

He Yin gave an affirmative hum.

Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, seeing him about to leave, she hurriedly said, "You… you help me a bit."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer: "Can you?"

He Yin extended his palm before her eyes.

Jiang Zhi gripped tightly, stumbled to her feet, then her legs gave way and she leaned against him.

He Yin, caught off guard, instinctively wrapped his arm around her shoulders; the girl's body felt bonelessly soft and limp.

A helpless, trembling sound came from within his embrace.

"Yes… sorry, I'm too scared to stand steady."

He Yin said nothing, released his arm, stood in place, and waited for her to calm down.

In the dimly lit storage room, the two embraced like lovers sneaking a romance behind a teacher's back, the atmosphere somewhat ambiguous.

After a few minutes, He Yin stiffly squeezed out a sentence: 'All right?'

Jiang Zhi stepped back slightly, nodded a little: 'Okay… all right.'

They left the storage room.

He Yin, walking ahead, asked, "Why did you follow a stranger here?"

"I..." Jiang Zhi lifted her eyes, meeting the buzz-cut youth's sharp, hostile brows and eyes, her heart tightened.

He Yin stopped, his dark eyes calm and unwavering as he looked at her, "What?"

Jiang Zhi handed over the bottled water she was holding and said, "I wanted to give you water, but who knew you'd just left; I didn't even know where you were, until that person said they knew where you were, so I followed."

The frank, earnest words fell into his ears, and He Yin seemed to see before him the clumsy figure of a girl struggling to squeeze into the arena.

He lowered his eyelids slightly, looking at the bottle of water in her hand, his throat a little dry: "The organizers will provide us with water."

Jiang Zhi stubbornly raised her hand and whispered, "That's not the same."

He Yin instinctively asked, "What's not the same?"

As soon as he asked, he regretted it.

Jiang Zhi tiptoed closer, her eyes shining astonishingly, "Because I cast a spell on this bottle of water; if you drink it, you'll like me."

He Yin: "………"

The girl didn't let him refuse, shoved the water into his arms, laughing, "Just kidding, this is a thank-you gift for saving me."

Without waiting for him to speak, Jiang Zhi lifted her foot and ran.

She vanished from his sight as quickly as a rabbit.

Her back was light, her skirt fluttering like butterfly wings, as if a sprite fallen to the mortal world.

Able to draw everyone's gaze.

He Yin gripped the bottle of water tightly, took a deep breath, and continued walking forward.

Returned to the dormitory.

Qiu Ziang, who was lifting weights, saw him return and asked puzzledly, "He Ge, where did you go? I wanted to go back to the dorm together with you."

He Yin put the bottle of water on the table, walked to the bedside to tidy his clothes.

Tomorrow is Saturday, he will go home.
