"See there, Fan Ganhe? Xinyan already has someone. Your chances aren't good!" He Meiyue said with a laugh to the other young man beside her.
The young man called Fan Ganhe looked at Wei Zhao with a trace of hostility. Yesterday, when he and another young man had gone to the dormitory entrance to find He Meiyue, he had seen Wang Xinyan with her and taken a liking to her on the spot. But hearing that Wang Xinyan already had someone, he was naturally unhappy.
"Fan Ganhe!" Fan Ganhe suddenly stepped in front of Wei Zhao and extended his hand.
Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback, unsure whether the fellow meant to show off or something else. Though he had been some distance away just now, he had heard clearly enough what He Meiyue said to Fan Ganhe.
"Wei Zhao." Since the other was He Meiyue's friend, there was no need to offend him. Wei Zhao extended his hand, clasped it, and said mildly.
"I'll compete for her!" Fan Ganhe did not try to provoke him through his grip, only declared his determination.
"Heh... I'm not Xinyan's boyfriend. I just know her fairly well—we come from the same place." Wei Zhao saw through Fan Ganhe's thoughts and said with a faint smile.
Fan Ganhe was startled; he had not expected Wei Zhao to say that. But he assumed Wei Zhao had deliberately backed down after seeing his build—Fan Ganhe was from the physical education department, tall and broad, clearly a size larger than Wei Zhao, who looked utterly harmless and surely no match for him!
At that thought, a flicker of contempt passed through Fan Ganhe's eyes, and even He Meiyue frowned! Her impression of Wei Zhao had been fairly good before, but now she looked down on him a little.
"Wei Zhao, don't tell me you're backing off?" He Meiyue felt indignant on Wang Xinyan's behalf.
"No, he's right. We really are just friends..." Wang Xinyan found it amusing. Wei Zhao, afraid of Fan Ganhe? That was only because they had never seen Wei Zhao in a fury. Huang Mao, formidable as he was, had been flung straight out of the classroom window by Wei Zhao!
Besides, although Wang Xinyan was not from one of the great families, she had heard a thing or two about them! Old Pi of the Xiao family had died at Wei Zhao's hands, and Pi Yangyang and Mr. Pi had been done in by Wei Zhao's underlings. If they knew that, they would not be thinking any such thing!
But Wang Xinyan did not explain further, because some things could not be spoken of carelessly.
"Is that so... then all the better. It takes a weight off my mind!" Fan Ganhe was briefly taken aback, then nodded.
He Meiyue, however, gave Wang Xinyan a rather strange look. She had formed her own preconceptions and always felt there was something between Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan, but since both parties denied it, she naturally would not make a fuss over it.
"Meiyue, did you wait long? The men's dorm is a fair way off..." Bai Weituo smiled, breaking the awkwardness, and called out to He Meiyue.
"Meiyue, who's this?" the young man beside He Meiyue suddenly spoke up.
