The Only Normal Human In The Universe

If it weren’t for the bell ringing at that time, An Yan would have wanted to carefully correct his classmates' misconception of Cheng Yi.

How could he be the kind of person they thought he was?

He was obviously gentle, thoughtful and helpful.

But since the class was about to start, they had to let it go for now.

After everyone had returned to their seats, Zhao Xinxin, who was sitting alone in the far corner, glanced at An Yan with a strong sense of resentment.

Ever since Zhu Ming released the video, Zhao Xinxin’s situation had gone downhill  From being surrounded by everyone to being almost unnoticed. In addition, the way people looked at her had changed from envious and longing to contempt and disdain.

Even if a few of her classmates were still willing to hang out with her, she knew in her heart that they were either looking at her background or her ability to make high quality potions.

In the final analysis, they were only willing to continue to befriend her because of their own interests.

But in such a situation, Zhao Xinxin could not care less about these things. At least there was someone who was willing to be by her side so that she would not look too miserable.

At that time, Zhao Xinxin thought that this must have been her lowest point. After all, it was the worst thing that had happened to her so far, but she soon realised that she had been too naive in her thinking.

And with the revelation of the issue with the high quality potion, even the last few people who had been willing to stay with her had turned away.

They would at first cover it up, but gradually, like everyone else, they became more insulting, making Zhao Xinxin furious.

The only daughter of the Zhao family, who had been highly sought after by everyone, had now become such a pathetic figure, forced to endure the strange stares of students from all majors. She even had to sit alone in the far corner of the class, wishing to hide herself completely.

If that was all, even if Zhao Xinxin felt aggrieved and annoyed, she would at most lament that people were cold-hearted.

But when she saw that the people who had been surrounding her before were now all around An Yan, she could not suppress the anger in her heart.

It was An Yan again!

Why did that guy have to go against her?

And he was obviously just an ordinary person with nothing. Were these people’s eyes blind!

When she heard that Cheng Yi had actually taken the initiative to invite An Yan to team up and participate in the College Mecha Competition together, this anger finally burned to the highest point.

What she had been longing for but couldn't get was easily obtained by that An Yan!

If not for the last vestiges of sanity left in her mind, Zhao Xinxin might have pounced on An Yan and fought him to the death.

But when she thought of her father’s earlier reprimands, she reluctantly held back for the time being. But in her heart, she had already started to think of how to deal with An Yan and Cheng Yi.

Although she had indeed liked Cheng Yi for a long time, all her feelings for him had turned into resentment and anger after what happened.

She would definitely let Cheng Yi know how stupid and wrong his choice was. She would let him know that she was a thousand times ten thousand times better than that An Yan!

She would definitely make Cheng Yi regret it! She would definitely make these two people pay!

Zhao Xinxin’s mind was not focused on the course at all. She lowered her head and thought for a while before her eyes suddenly lit up.

An Yan was unaware of Zhao Xinxin’s side of the commotion. After recess, he put his entire mind on the lesson until the bell rang again and a few of his buddies who had agreed to have dinner together gathered around him, "Let’s go eat together then."

It was just as well that he could take the opportunity of eating together to make everyone realise their misconceptions about Cheng Yi.

When the group arrived at the canteen, Cheng Yi had already helped An Yan buy his favourite food. An Yan’s eyes lit up as he explained to his friends, "Senior Cheng Yi is really nice. Every time we eat, he comes over in advance and buys the meal for me, and it’s all my favourite food. "

Cheng – Cheng Yi’s own brother – Yang lamented, "Yeah, he always buys food for you but never for me."

The other classmates: why did these two sentences sound a bit strange?

Before they could think clearly, they saw Senior Cheng Yi, who was sitting not far away, stand up and give them a gentle and doting smile, "Yan Yan, come over here.  I’ve already bought the food for you. Today is the sweet and sour pork that you love."

Cheng Yang shrugged his shoulders at the side and spat out in a small voice, "You guys saw that, right? My big brother only uses such an expression and tone of voice when facing An Yan. Not even I have ever been treated like that. "

Before anyone could revel in the rare and wonderful smile, they were mercilessly pulled back to their senses by these words  So this smile was exclusive to An Yan and not for them?

On closer inspection, it seemed that this was indeed the case. From the moment they appeared, Senior Cheng Yi’s eyes had always fallen on An Yan. Not only did he not give them a single glance, not even his own brother received any look.

They originally felt that they were quite pitiful, but in comparison to Cheng Yang, their hearts were instantly more balanced.

Even Senior Cheng Yi’s own brother was used to this kind of situation, so what else did they have to think about?

However, for some reason, the strange feeling that had risen in their hearts just now seemed to have become even stronger.

An Yan was oblivious to this and smiled as he waved his hand at Cheng Yi, then said to the people around him, "You guys go get dinner and we eat together."

The classmates gave An Yan a complicated look and nodded as they went off to choose their favourite foods.

An Yan, on the other hand, happily sat down next to Cheng Yi: "Thank you, senior."

Cheng Yi naturally reached out and rubbed An Yan’s head, smiling dotingly, "Eat now."

An Yan nodded obediently and began to eat.  He slowed down when the rest returned with their food, and he began to formulate what he was going to say.

Therefore, he didn’t notice that when his friends chose their seats, they deliberately avoided the seats next to him and Cheng Yi.

In fact, it was not that they had taken the initiative to avoid it. After all, being able to sit with Senior Cheng Yi and have dinner together was something that they had never dared to think about before.

But when one of them wanted to sit on the other side of Cheng Yi, he got an icy look and was scared into changing his seat  So they all changed their minds.

The classmates: Senior Cheng Yi is really scary, QAQ!

Seeing everyone sitting down, An Yan swallowed the sweet and sour pork in his mouth and cleared his throat. He pretended to say to Cheng Yi, as if unintentionally, "Senior, can I ask you a few things?"

Cheng Yi wiped the grease stains from the corner of An Yan’s mouth and said softly, "Please ask. I will definitely answer truthfully."

The classmates around them saw his actions and stared in amazement  How could Senior Cheng Yi be so gentle and considerate?

This was too unscientific!

An Yan still knew nothing about this. He spoke deliberately, "I once overheard someone talking about you before, saying that a girl in the college confessed her love to you and gave you a gift, but you just threw the gift she gave you into the trash. This must not be..."

Although his buddies told him of this incident, he would naturally not sell them out at this time. The little hamster also knows how to be flexible.

 "That is true." Cheng Yi directly admitted, without waiting for him to finish his sentence.

An Yan was immediately a little confused, "Huh? But senior, why did you do that? "

None of his other classmates expected An Yan to ask this question to his face, but they were actually curious as well. They all pricked up their ears and waited for Cheng Yi’s answer.

"It’s normal to like someone, it’s everyone’s freedom," Cheng Yi said in a slightly slow tone as he looked at An Yan intently, "but that doesn’t mean that when you like someone, the other person should accept you. It’s equally everyone’s freedom to reject someone’s liking. "

An Yan felt that this statement made sense: "It seems to be so."

"So I chose to reject her at that time, which in no way meant her any harm, but she said I was too cruel and forced the gift she had prepared on me," Cheng Yi continued to state, "But I had already rejected her, so how could I accept her gift? In my opinion, since I chose to reject her, I should reject her cleanly and leave no possibility of illusion to the other party. I had to throw away the gift she forced on me."

After listening to this description, An Yan nodded seriously. "I don’t think there’s a problem with the way you handled it. What do you guys think?"

When the other classmates heard this rumour before, they all felt that Senior Cheng Yi was too cold and heartless. He didn’t give the girl who liked him any face.

But after hearing Senior Cheng Yi’s description, they also felt that there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with his actions.

It would be a scum thing to reject someone and then accept the other party’s gift.

Several people looked at each other and said in unison, "We also think there’s nothing wrong with this way of handling things."

An Yan nodded in satisfaction and asked Cheng Yi again, "Senior, I also heard about another incident. They  say that a fellow student in the same major ended up with his entire mecha scrapped up because he provoked you. Is there such a thing? "

"I think so," Cheng Yi thought back carefully and described it in detail, "but I remember that he was not provoking me, but the whole Cheng family. He thought that the Cheng family’s mecha manufacturing was not worthy of its name and that there was a big problem with its quality. So I challenged him."

An Yan said, "So that man said something outrageous. I didn’t even know about that. "

The other classmates were also surprised. The rumours really didn’t mention this.

"That is normal. After all, only he and I were present when this incident happened at that time," Cheng Yi smiled lightly and said without much concern, "I also never mentioned it in front of anyone again. If it wasn’t for Yan Yan asking me, I wouldn’t have known that so many people already knew about it."

Cheng Yi’s description of the incident was true, though the last sentence was a lie. Although he had never mentioned the incident to anyone, he could still hear those rumours about him.

It’s just that he had never cared about them before and had never defended himself. If he hadn’t been worried that the little one might have misunderstood him, he wouldn’t have said so much. After all, he had never cared about what other people thought of him.

After hearing his explanation, the classmates felt guilty. They had only listened to one side of the story and had jumped to a conclusion about Senior Cheng Yi, which was really wrong.

Maybe Senior Cheng Yi really was as nice as An Yan had said. Kind and taking the initiative to help others? One of An Yan’s classmates couldn’t help but say guiltily, "Senior Cheng Yi, I shouldn’t have believed those rumours so easily before and therefore misunderstood you, I’m really sorry."

Cheng Yi glanced at this person and said with a detached expression, "You don’t need to apologize to me. I have never cared about what you guys think. I said all this today entirely for Yan Yan. I don’t want him to misunderstand me, that’s all."

If he really cared about what the outside world thought of him and their opinions, he would have acted long ago.

Although he wouldn’t follow the rules like the little one and protect himself in a reasonable way, he didn’t lack the means to deal with these rumours either.

The classmates: they really thought too much! Senior Cheng Yi is really cold and ruthless. Their perception of Senior Cheng Yi is not wrong at all!

However, how come Senior Cheng Yi’s words seem to imply some kind of deeper meaning? So is it really what they think it means?

An Yan didn’t grasp the key point  He looked at Cheng Yi and said with great disapproval, "You shouldn’t say that, Senior. Those people deliberately spread some unfavorable comments against you, which is wrong in itself. Even if you don’t care about other people’s opinions, you shouldn’t let such comments continue to spread. "

Cheng Yi, who had an indifferent face a moment before, instantly changed into a gentle smile when he turned his head to look at An Yan: "Well, Yan Yan is right."

The classmates: "..." Their suspicions were correct!!
