264: Chapter 263: Killing Intent 264: Chapter 263: Killing Intent This was the second time Tangyu and his group had come to Donglin University for a stroll after dinner, but this time was different from the last, as the previous visit was during the day, while this time it was at night.
Relatively speaking, Donglin University had a more atmospheric feel at night, and the cool evening breeze added a hint of warmth.
Another difference was the addition of Zhao Xinxin and Liu Shanshan, two great beauties.
How blissful it must have been to walk with five beautiful women?
It was not just blissful, it was something to be proud of.
From the moment they stepped out, envious, jealous, and resentful gazes from passersby sized them up, satisfying Tangyu’s sense of vanity.
Indeed, it was a wonderful feeling.
He believed any man would find it hard to let go of such attention.
As a man, who wouldn’t want to be the center of attention, admired by beautiful women, and to stand at the peak of humanity looking down on others?
For Guo Momo and the others, just being seen taking a walk with one of them would make people green with envy, let alone five at once—it was almost scandalous.
However, Tangyu was truly enjoying it all.
It wasn’t a full moon night, and Tangyu disliked the night scene in Donglin City.
The city’s sky was nothing like the clean skies over the countryside; it was heavily polluted.
There were hardly any stars visible, and even the moon looked dim, as if covered by a layer of dark sand.
Moreover, it was overwhelmed by the glaring lights of Donglin City, making it appear almost like daytime and losing its charm.
Overall, Tangyu didn’t like the night in Donglin City.
However, the night at Donglin University was different.
The wide roads were lined with cypress trees adorned with neon lights, and green colored lights illuminated below, dressing the trees in dazzling beauty.
The distant view formed a pleasant sight.
Donglin University at night was much quieter than during the day.
If Donglin University during the day was like a lively scholar, then at night, it was like a quiet noble lady.
The campus roads at Donglin University were not crowded at night, and the lighting was dim, so not many people paid particular attention to Zhao Xinxin and the others.
“It’s been six or seven years since I last came to Donglin University, yet it’s still the same,” Zhao Xinxin said somewhat sentimentally.
The stroll was quiet; even Zhao Yaya, who usually didn’t stop talking, pursed her lips, clearly not enjoying this type of walk.
Unfortunately, nobody wanted to go elsewhere.
No matter how beautiful the scenery around him was, Tangyu’s focus was only on the landscape beside him, which was a delightful experience in itself.
These days had been busy, and these moments of leisure were rare.
“Hmm,” Tangyu suddenly furrowed his brows, feeling a strong presence approaching.
He looked up and saw a young man, about twenty-three or four years old, walking towards him.
The man was over 180 cm tall, dressed in a casual suit, exuding an air of youth and maturity.
He was handsome with a charismatic quality that made other men instinctively compare themselves to him and feel somewhat inferior.
Especially his delicate eyes, which were like the stars in the night sky, mysterious and somewhat elusive, befuddling and unclear on inspection.
The smile at the corners of the man’s mouth was as bright as the sunshine.
After giving the man a look, Tangyu quickly came to a conclusion: very strong.
If he had to compare him to someone, Tangyu could only think of Mr.
Yu.
The newcomer’s gaze lingered on Tangyu briefly.
An ordinary person might not notice this small gesture, but Tangyu saw it clearly.
From the other’s eyes, Tangyu could feel his significance to him, likely the same feeling he had, something akin to a mutual recognition among heroes.
“Miss Guo, what a coincidence to see you here with friends for a walk,” the man said with a smile, his voice magnetic.
His gaze swiftly swept over everyone, friendly and polite, without a hint of intrusion.
Guo Momo returned the smile, “Indeed, Xiao Yu, are you alone?”
The man smiled lightly, “Just call me Xiao Yu.
Yes, I’m on my own tonight, just taking a walk.”
Guo Momo chuckled, knowing Xiao Yu’s conditions—that many women would throw themselves at him if he wished.
That he maintained his single status was quite rare, “You’re being too modest, Xiao Yu.
I doubt anyone would be fortunate enough to accompany you on a walk.”
Xiao Yu smiled lightly, “Miss Guo, you flatter me too much.
I wish I were that attractive.
I fear that even if I had the audacity to ask, you wouldn’t agree to walk with me.”
Guo Momo knew Xiao Yu was joking and responded with a smile, “If you put it that way, Xiao Yu, I really wouldn’t be so lucky.
I don’t want to become the public enemy of all the women on campus.
You are, after all, the acknowledged top bachelor and heartthrob of Donglin University.”
“Haha, Miss Guo, aren’t you also one of the campus beauties?” Xiao Yu said with a laugh.
Zhao Yaya’s gaze was less polite as she sized up Xiao Yu and suddenly said, “So you are the number one bachelor of Donglin University, known as the ‘Unrivaled Young Master Xiao.’ Although you do look handsome, it feels a bit superficial.
I think my good brother is much more genuinely handsome.
Somehow, you make me uncomfortable, while my good brother is very pleasant to look at.
If I had to say, my good brother is handsomer than you.”
Zhao Yaya had always been straightforward.
As soon as she spoke, Guo Momo couldn’t help but glare at her and scold, “Yaya, don’t talk nonsense.
Show some manners!” She then turned to Xiao Yu apologetically, “I’m sorry for this.
You’ll have to excuse us.”
Xiao Yu was quite magnanimous, he glanced at Zhao Yaya and smiled, “Different strokes for different folks, all of that is superficial.
I’ve never considered myself the most handsome guy on campus.
You must be the little princess of the Zhao family, right?
I didn’t recognize you earlier.”
Standing beside, Tangyu listened to Zhao Yaya’s words with quite a bit of approval.
“You’re not that handsome anyway.” Zhao Yaya still muttered, seemingly annoyed by Xiao Yu’s attitude, “Yeah, you know me.”
Xiao Yu pretended he didn’t hear Zhao Yaya’s murmurs, smiled and nodded, “Of course I know, if I didn’t recognize the little princess of the Zhao family, that would be laughable.
I visited your home when you were very young and even played with you.”
Zhao Yaya blinked, “Then why don’t I remember you?
Oh, I know, you must have bullied me before, that’s why I can’t remember you, right?”
Xiao Yu was a bit embarrassed, “Not at all, of course not.”
“Alright Yaya, stop fooling around, you’re not showing any hospitality,” Guo Momo scolded again, and Zhao Yaya stuck out her tongue and calmed down.
Xiao Yu’s gaze swept over Tangyu again and asked, “Miss Guo, who is this gentleman?”
“Oh, let me introduce you, my friend Tangyu,” Guo Momo said.
Besides his name, Guo Momo really didn’t know what else to say.
Xiao Yu extended his hand with a friendly smile, “So it’s Mr.
Tang, nice to meet you.”
As the other party extended an olive branch, Tangyu naturally wouldn’t show a cold face.
He smiled back and extended his hand to shake hands with Xiao Yu, “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“I’m dizzy, you’ve watched too much TV, why start with such hypocritical phrases,” Zhao Yaya couldn’t help but mumble again, causing everyone to cringe, this girl really couldn’t hold her tongue.
Although it was just a simple gesture of goodwill, Tangyu could still deeply feel the great power within Xiao Yu’s body — this guy was exceptional, definitely ranking among the top few he had ever met.
However, for the time being it seemed that there was no hostility from the other side, whether friend or foe was not clear, but Tangyu felt fairly good about it.
If not a friend, then a formidable rival indeed.
Luckily, Xiao Yu didn’t seem to have intentions towards Guo Momo and the others, at least not as a romantic rival.
Tangyu thought he wouldn’t casually pick a fight with Xiao Yu without a woman in the picture.
“Wow, it’s quite lively today.
Young Xiao, Miss Guo, you’re all here, this is rare indeed.
Oh, there are several beautiful ladies too, haha, what’s the occasion today?” A cheerful laugh suddenly came, as a male student walked over with his arm around a tall, beautiful woman.
What drew the most attention was that this woman clearly wasn’t from Hua Country; she had a very high nose bridge, very white skin, brown hair, blue eyes, truly Caucasian and of quite pure descent.
“Li Zhencheng, have you changed girlfriends again?” Xiao Yu looked towards the newcomers and lightly smiled.
“Hehe, Xiaosha, you expose me as soon as you arrive, I’ve switched a few days ago.
Come, Xiaosha, let me introduce my girlfriend, LUCY,” Li Zhencheng said with a smile, his laughter not embarrassed at all, but rather proudly.
The foreign girl looked at Xiao Yu with blue eyes and smiled, “So you are Xiaosha, I’ve heard much about your fame, and seeing you today certainly lives up to it.” Her Huaxia language was very fluent.
Tangyu’s eyes landed on the foreign girl, but he felt a twinge of alarm, sensing a dangerous aura emanating from her — a murderous intent.
Tangyu frowned slightly, this foreign girl was not simple.
Xiao Yu also examined the foreign girl, smiling amiably, “You’re too kind, your Huaxia language is excellent, and you look beautiful today.” He then gave the foreign girl a friendly gesture customary to foreigners.
The foreign girl also smiled and reached out to embrace Xiao Yu, the cheek-to-cheek greeting a friendly gesture.
Tangyu always felt this custom was just a blatant way to flirt, and although he disapproved of such behavior from a moral standpoint, deep down, he wouldn’t resist such an opportunity.
The chance to flirt so openly, after all, was hard to come by, especially in Huaxia.
“Thank you for the compliment, Xiaosha,” said the foreign girl with a smile.
“Ah, that murderous intent!” Tangyu’s eyes narrowed again, he was always keenly alert to danger, and his intuition never misled him.
He immediately concluded that this foreign beauty was an assassin, the strong murderous aura she emitted indicated that she was planning to make a move on Xiao Yu.
Though they had just met, Tangyu didn’t have any ill feelings towards Xiao Yu and was willing to form a good connection if possible.
