Chapter 2546 — Ying Ziyu's Suitor
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Ying Ziyu, I've finally found where you are!" As Chen Xiaoba got out of the car, he looked at the plaque over the school gate, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
Chen Xiaoba counted as one of Ying Ziyu's suitors. The story began a few days earlier.
At the time, Chen Xiaoba and a few friends had come to Songshan City for a visit. While eating at a restaurant, they saw Ying Ziyu teaching a lecher who had designs on Chen Xi a lesson. Her heroic, dashing air captivated Chen Xiaoba on the spot.
He was a man of the underworld himself, and he found himself thoroughly interested in a pretty girl like Ying Ziyu—fierce and commanding, yet plainly a world apart from the cheap little street girls. So he went straight up to strike up a conversation. Unfortunately, Ying Ziyu paid him no attention at all; she simply paid the bill and left with Chen Xi.
Chen Xiaoba might be a second-generation gangster, but he was no fool. Here on Songshan City's turf, knowing nothing of Ying Ziyu's background, he dared not rashly do anything out of place. He only snapped a photo of her with his phone, planning to look into her background afterward.
With Chen Xiaoba's background and resources, investigating a person was far too easy. Very quickly, Ying Ziyu's file was laid before him.
Ying Ziyu, female, sixteen, a graduate of Songshan City Fushan Middle School. Formerly the big sister of one of Fushan Middle School's three great factions. Never had a boyfriend. Currently enrolled at Songshan City No. 1 High School, turning over a new leaf and studying hard. At school, she was under the protection of Zou Ruoming, one of No. 1 High School's four great hellions.
The words "never had a boyfriend" made Chen Xiaoba's eyes light up. Excellent—how could he let a top-tier girl like this slip through his fingers? Reading on, he came to Zou Ruoming's file.
Zou Ruoming, male, twenty, one of Songshan City No. 1 High School's four great hellions, a repeat student. His father, Zou Tiandi, was a famous entertainment tycoon of Songshan City, with business interests half legal and half shady. His elder brother, Zou Ruoguang, was the gang boss of the North District.
"Hah…" At the sight of Zou Ruoming's file, Chen Xiaoba gave a scornful sneer. A family like Zou Ruoming's was, in Chen Xiaoba's eyes, nothing but small-time thugs—too low-class to be worth noticing. He had no idea what relationship Zou Ruoming had with Ying Ziyu, or why the man would protect her at school, but Chen Xiaoba was not the least bit worried. He was confident that if he set out to court Ying Ziyu, Zou Ruoming would not dare interfere.
In fact, his guess was correct. Once Zou Ruoming learned who Chen Xiaoba was, he did not dare casually warn him off—because this was a man whose identity he could neither shield her from nor afford to provoke.
On his very first day at Songshan City No. 1 High School, Chen Xiaoba launched a romantic offensive against Ying Ziyu, pestering her relentlessly. She had originally sought out Zou Ruoming, hoping he would help settle the matter, but Zou Ruoming told her the truth: "Miss Ziyu, I really can't shield you from this one. Who could have known he came here specifically for you…"
