Chapter 46: Love is to Fool Around Together
The Crown Princess's coming of age ceremony wish was to study at Ares College for three months. Although her wish seemed slightly strange, it did not violate any rules or regulations. Looking at it from a different angle, even if the truth was revealed, it would only benefit the relationship between Aslan and the Sol Federation.
The Crown Princess's alias was Wang Shishi. Only the principal knew of her true identity. Gu Te was shocked giddy at the sudden good fortune. This was no different from winning the Milky Way lottery! Although her identity had to be kept a secret, after this was said and done, it would indubitably bring about good publicity. Instead of choosing the universe's most prestigious academy in Aslan, she chose to go to Ares College instead. Even if he was dreaming, he could not believe it!
The two of them held each other's hands tightly until the class ended. What was even more fortunate was the fact that Xiao Fei did not tease the two of them, but instead watched them walk away with a strange expression on her face.
Once the class ended, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu could no longer sit blankly at the side. They could not tolerate it anymore.
"Wang Zheng, how rude can you be? This beautiful girl... no, who might this beautiful goddess be? Won't you introduce her to your fellow brothers?"
Dear Student Ailun was extremely regretful as he was not dressed in his best attire and therefore felt lacking.
"You can call me Wang Shishi. I am Wang Zheng's distantly related cousin. We have no blood ties between us," Aina replied with a smile as she blinked her eyes.
Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu turned and looked at each other before looking into the sky and sighing deeply.
"Wang Zheng, you are truly defying the heavens! I can't take it anymore!"
"Brother Zheng, you have hidden yourself so deeply that when you revealed your true colors, it was absolutely frightening! It's time for you to treat us!"
Wang Zheng gave them a wry smile. "Okay, no problems. We will do it tonight. My apologies, but please excuse us."
The entire class was gazing at them as Wang Zheng pulled Aina out of the classroom.
They were once separated by millions of miles. Wang Zheng did not even dare to dream of her. The higher his expectations, the greater the disappointment. However, she had actually come back to him.
"Am I dreaming?" Wang Zheng asked as he tightly clutched Aina's hand. He was worried that the moment he let go, she would just fade away.
Aina lightly bit her lip. "Have you ever had such a realistic dream?"
The two of them merely stood there and looked at each other. Wang Zheng knew that he was in love. Regardless of whatever status the girl in front of him possessed, regardless of what would happen, he only knew one thing: he loved Aina!
The advantage of being in the college's grounds was that it could provide a suitable place and atmosphere for these two lovebirds to be together.
The last time they were separated, the two of them were merely friends. However, now that Aina had appeared again, they had broken through that barrier. Perhaps it was because the two of them felt that it would not be possible to have such an intense feeling ever again.
When Aina had previously returned to Aslan, she knew that what had passed was past. She could only treat it as a beautiful memory. However, the more she thought about it, the more she was unable to repress her feelings. All of the people around her only sought to sing praises about her beauty and stature, things which she wished to escape from.
Why was it not possible? Why did she not take the initiative!?
Thus, she came!
"Why?" To be honest, even Wang Zheng did not understand why. He felt that he wasn't bad looking, but not so good looking that his looks could cause immense upheaval and chaos.
Was it because he was talented?
With Aina's looks, knowledge, and status, if she wanted it, the number of young geniuses that would attempt to court her would form a queue so long it would exceed the boundaries of the Solar System!
"It's because you're the most foolish!" Aina replied.
Foolishness? Could this even be counted as a good point?
When a girl wanted to be complicated, she could be extremely complicated. However, when a girl wanted to be direct, she could be extremely direct. Even when Wang Zheng did not know Aina's identity and situation, he was willing to lend a hand to help. Three hundred dollars, even if it was three hundred million, it was nothing to a princess of Aslan. However, this was everything to Wang Zheng. If a person was willing to give everything to you, what else could you want?
In reality, it was not as though Aina had not tried to probe him. Even after seeing her face, Wang Zheng was still willing to act on behalf of her. It had truly stirred up her emotions. Even Aina was slightly embarrassed at that time.
Though it has to be said that afterwards, Wang Zheng's immense knowledge had given Aina another shock. Furthermore, even in the face of an assassin's attack, Wang Zheng's protection had completely captivated Aina's heart. This strange experience could have been written off as another story. Yet even though it seemed impossible for the two of them to be together again, it still managed to happen.
It was a fairytale come true.
Regardless of whether it was Ye Zisu or Meng Tian, both of them were extremely exceptional. However, as Aina took the only place in his heart, Wang Zheng did not feel anything towards them.
In a private space, the two of them burst into endless conversation. Aina did not stay in the college dormitories, but rather at the Shangri-La Grand Hotel.
Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun felt slightly confused as the two of them walked back to the dormitory.
"Brother Ailun, is Brother Zheng an expert?"
"What do you mean by an expert?"
"A sage when it comes to emotions! I always felt that he has hidden himself deeply. Why is it that there are no beautiful girls chasing me?"
"Bitch, how old are you? Elder brother is still single!" Yao Ailun stared coldly at him.
"Looks like I have to learn from Brother Zheng!"
"That bastard is full of secrets. As a fellow brother in arms, we have to live and die together! Even if he already had a girlfriend, why did he only tell us now!"
"Elder Sister Shishi has a very refined temperament. I have never, ever met such a graceful girl!"
Chen Xiu shook his head slowly as he spoke.
"That is an innate quality bestowed from birth! F*ck, we have to grasp this opportunity!"
It has to be said that dear Student Ailun and Student Xiu had suffered yet another blow. They could not let it pass anymore! They had to deal him a vicious blow!
It was a tradition that whoever had a girlfriend had to treat the others to a meal.
Each day that passed with Aina around was like spending a day in heaven. The Rubik's Cube, Battle Energy, and whatnot all seemed so trivial when Aina was around.
In the afternoon, Yan Xiaosu was shocked petrified for a whole five minutes.
"Am I dreaming?" Student Xiaosu said as he pinched his own face. He could feel it, so it definitely wasn't a dream.
Aina gave him a slight smile. "It has been a long time, Yan Xiaosu."
The usually quick-witted Yan Xiaosu was absolutely dumbfounded at the scene. He briefly recovered and dragged Wang Zheng to the side.
"Boss, what is happening? Have the heavens finally opened their eyes?"
"What do you mean by the heavens opening their eyes? Aina... Shishi is currently studying in the Physics Department. Please remember to keep her identity a secret."
Looking at Wang Zheng's face of extreme contentment and happiness, Yan Xiaosu also felt happy for him. His elder brother had been strong since young, his aim clear. However, Yan Xiaosu had always felt that his journey was just too weary. To live was to be happy. Ye Zisu and Meng Tian were exceptional individuals, and he did not know who Wang Zheng was truly waiting for. Yet, upon seeing Aina, it all made sense to Xiaosu.
"Boss, you really are a bastard! Everything has been worth it!"
He could see that Yan Xiaosu was truly happy for him. Wang Zheng patted Xiaosu's shoulders. "You aren't bad yourself. I heard your confession was successful this time."
"Well, somewhat. An Mei said that she has to consider for a period of time. Heh, she's still a girl; I just need to push her in the right direction and she's mine."
Yan Xiaosu said confidently.
Aina looked honored to be in his presence. Student Xiaosu was one who was always full of gestures. However, the group dynamics would no longer the same; it would be two on two. Yan Xiaosu had also brought his other half.
In the cafeteria, An Mei constantly swept her electrifying and fiery eyes up and down Aina's figure. Even if she used a microscope, she would be unable to find any flaws with Aina.
How could this world have such a girl? From her appearance to her bearing, all of it could be summed up in one word - flawless.
An Mei at this point felt indignant on behalf of Ye Zisu. What great qualities did Wang Zheng possess? What arrogance! He would even dare to bully someone like Ye Zisu! When the girls had their midnight gossiping sessions, they talked about anything and everything. With Wang Zheng's capability and looks, he was able to get close to Ye Zisu. Even one's ancestors would be furious at such a sight! Wang Zheng was clearly out of Ye Zisu's league! Who could imagine yet another beautiful girl chasing after Wang Zheng?
An Mei turned to Xiaosu. "Tyrant Su, why are you quiet today? Not hearing you brag about yourself seems very unnatural."
An Mei also felt that something was strange. She and Yan Xiaosu had already gone on several dates. This person was very interesting and had numerous things to talk about. His family background could be considered decent, except for the fact that they sold sanitary napkins. However, Yan Xiaosu was a confident and unbridled individual, and An Mei really liked that about him. A self-confident and humorous boy could indeed attract the interest of girls.
However, this fellow truly liked to brag; in fact, the way he bragged was very amusing.
"Tyrant Su?" Wang Zheng stared blankly at him before bursting out in laughter. Giving Xiaosu a thumbs up, he said, "An Mei, you seem to have discovered his true self. Looks like he won't be able to escape from your grasp."
Yan Xiaosu coughed dryly several times. He couldn't just act like a pretentious prick, he had to gauge the situation first. To brag in front of the Princess of Aslan? Even if dear Student Yan had thicker skin, he still wouldn't do so.
An Mei smiled at his comment before directing the conversation at Aina. "Shishi, welcome to Ares College. As Zisu's good friend and Xiaosu's girlfriend, I have to say that you need to be careful. You and Wang Zheng aren't a good fit."
Yan Xiaosu tugged at An Mei but was given a vicious stare in return.
Wang Zheng and Aina glanced at each other quickly; they both felt indescribably happy and burst out into smiles. Aina loved this part of Wang Zheng. He did not care about her status, and she could see in his gaze that he truly did not care about her identity and only liked her for who she was.
It was that simple. That pure.
This heartfelt connection was mutually understood; it was something others could never understand.
As this was the case, An Mei felt even more indignant on behalf of Ye Zisu.
"Brother, it looks like my competitors are numerous. Will you give up on me?" Aina asked warmly.
Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu looked at each other. Who would have expected Aina to have such a childish side to her? Wang Zheng's heart felt like it was going to melt.
Yan Xiaosu immediately tried to smooth things over. "You should know Ye Zisu. We were all classmates in middle school, all alumni of Dawn Middle School. Thus, the three of us are considered to be close."
An Mei angrily flicked Yan Xiaosu's head with a finger. "Look at what you are saying. You should no longer be called Tyrant Su in the future. You should be known as Softy Su instead!"
This fellow was usually as arrogant as the heavens, but when placed in front of a beautiful girl, he would lose all of his imposing mannerisms.
An Mei no longer pursued the topic at hand. She began to ramble and talk about girly things. Although Wang Shishi did not usually speak much, when they started talking about branded goods, she was extremely clear about it. However, when Shishi started to talk about some other brands, An Mei had never even heard of some them! Indeed, it would seem that Aslan was slightly more advanced in the cosmetics industry, and thus the girls who lived there knew a bit more.
After finishing their coffee and excusing themselves from the group date, An Mei dragged Tyrant Su to the side. "Your elder brother is a playboy. He actually dares to get involved with three girls simultaneously! Are you the same as him?"
Yan Xiaosu burst out into cold sweat. "How could this be? Boss and I only care for one girl!"
"Tsk. In our dormitory, Ye Zisu and Meng Tian are already grappling in the dark! It resulted in Du Qingqing and I being faced with an endless headache. Furthermore, he promised to be a model for the Art Club, but up till now he has not done so!" said An Mei.
Although Yan Xiaosu seemed tormented, deep down he was extremely happy. It was truly a reversal of fortunes. Back in middle school, the two of them were like the weeds growing at the side of the road; no one gave them a second look. However, now that they were in college, they had replaced their bird guns with cannons[1]. Especially Boss's rapid transformation; he didn't just grow wings, he turned into a space shuttle! This feeling of respect was as deep as the River Taotao.
"Boss has been busy with special training and thus definitely forgot about it. Don't worry, I will remind him. Since the words have been spoken, they will definitely be done. If he isn't free, I will go on behalf of him," Yan Xiaosu said as he patted his chest.
