The Only Normal Human In The Universe

Although it was undoubtedly very humiliating, it was nothing compared to the huge losses that the Zhao might suffer because of this incident.

In addition to apologizing, he also had another purpose. He wanted to take this opportunity to win An Yan over and get him to work for Zhao's in the future.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhao Chengxuan came to the First College early in the morning and found An Yan's dormitory.

But to his surprise, the person who opened the door was An Yan's roommate, the second young master of the Cheng family.

After asking, Zhao Chengxuan learned from Cheng Yang that An Yan was not even in the dormitory.

At first, Zhao Chengxuan thought Cheng Yang was deliberately fooling him, but after a while, he saw that Cheng Yang was the only one who left the dormitory. He followed Cheng Yang and moved to the entrance of An Yan's classroom.

Many people entering and exiting the classroom would cast strange glances at him, and some of them would whisper when they recognized his identity.

But Zhao Chengxuan seemed oblivious to the presence of the others, standing there with a calm expression, waiting quietly.

He didn't mind being surrounded by these people. He felt that the bigger the incident was, the better for him, as it would highlight his sincerity.

He waited until it was almost time for class.

Zhao Chengxuan looked at the time on his light brain and wondered why An Yan hadn't come over yet. Was he not coming to class in order to avoid him?

Just when he was hesitant about waiting any longer, he caught a glimpse of a figure trotting over.

Zhao Chengxuan had looked up An Yan's profile and researched it in detail before coming here, so he could tell at a glance that the person running over was the same An Yan he had been waiting for for nearly half an hour.

Seeing An Yan getting closer, Zhao Chengxuan had already set up his posture and expression and was about to greet him first. Unexpectedly, An Yan didn't even look at him and just ran straight past him into the classroom.

Zhao Chengxuan: "..."

Zhao Chengxuan was stunned as he watched An Yan walk into the classroom and sit down.

But there was no way out. He had come to apologize to An Yan, and since it was an apology, it had to be sincere enough. He could only endure the displeasure in his heart and chose to continue waiting.

Then this wait went on for another whole morning.

It was not until the morning session was over and An Yan and Cheng Yang walked out of the classroom shoulder to shoulder that Zhao Chengxuan finally had the chance to talk to him.

He stepped forward and walked up to An Yan, politely and modestly bowing, "Hello, may I ask if you are An Yan?"

An Yan had never met Zhao Chengxuan before and did not know much about the Zhao family. He could not help but ask the stranger in confusion, "May I ask who you are?"

A polite smile appeared on Zhao Chengxuan's face. His manner was gentle and courteous, looking just right: "I am Zhao Xinxin's father, and I came here to apologize to you."

An Yan froze for a moment before reacting. This must be the man Cheng Yang said had been waiting for him outside for the whole morning.

Although he had a negative impression towards Zhao Xinxin, An Yan did not feel much for her father: "Hello, I am An Yan."

It was time for classes to end, and there were already several students around who were leaving their classes. They heard the conversation between the two, and a number of people simply stopped in their tracks and quietly gathered to watch.

Zhao Chengxuan did not care about this, and only apologised with a sincere expression, "As Zhao Xinxin's father, I failed to know what she did at the academy in time, and this let her do those excessive actions that hurt you, for which I am really sorry."

An Yan did not react to these words, but Cheng Yang, who was standing beside him, could not help but snort lightly.

An Yan was simple in nature and might have believed Zhao Chengxuan's words, but he would not be easily fooled.

With Zhao Xinxin's fierce temper and irresponsibility, she must have asked Zhao Chengxuan for help long ago when things first went wrong.

Otherwise, with her kind of personality, how could she possibly think of supressing her temper and taking the initiative to apologize to An Yan?

Even if Zhao Xinxin's intelligence and courage did not allow her to seek help from her father, how could Zhao Chengxuan not pay any attention to her affairs as the next successor of the Zhao family? 

So there was no doubt that Zhao Chengxuan was aware of all the things Zhao Xinxin had done.

He had not made any moves before, yet he now came to the First College and even apologized to An Yan in public? Cheng Yang could already guess why.

Cheng Yang immediately cursed the Zhao family. He was afraid that An Yan would be at a disadvantage since he had a simple nature, so he simply spoke up first, "Uncle Zhao, since you came to apologize to Yan Yan because of Zhao Xinxin's matter, then why didn't you bring Zhao Xinxin along?"

His question was damaging, but how could Zhao Chengxuan dare to stand here unprepared?

His expression immediately became serious, also carrying a bit of determination and helplessness: "I had already communicated with Xinxin before I came here, but she was not willing to admit her mistakes no matter what. I really couldn't persuade her, so I had to come alone. " 

One would think this was the case from his expression, but Cheng Yang only felt that this person was really too hypocritical: "That is strange. The person who made the mistake should be the one apologizing. Even if Zhao Xinxin is your daughter, the person who made the mistake is not you, so what is the point of you coming over to apologize like this? "

A trace of hostility flashed through Zhao Chengxuan's heart at Cheng Yang’s constant confrontation, but his face had a  frown, "Although the one who made the mistake was Zhao Xinxin, I, as a father, also have the responsibility that cannot be shirked off. If I had not been lax in discipline, she would not have made such a big mistake, so it is only right that I apologize to An Yan. "

Cheng Yang was about to open his mouth to continue exposing Zhao Chengxuan's true colors when he saw An Yan beside him nodding seriously, "You're right."

Cheng Yang almost couldn't resist reaching out to cover his face, or maybe An Yan's mouth.

Yan Yan was too easy to cheat. How could one take the words spoken by such a person seriously?

If he really felt responsible, he should have stopped Zhao Xinxin in the first place!

He was thinking of how to remedy the situation when he heard An Yan continue, "Zhao Xinxin is your daughter, and as her father, you should indeed be responsible for her actions. I hope that you can teach her well in the future and not let her make similar mistakes again."

Zhao Chengxuan could not help but sigh with relief. He was originally worried that he might not have the chance to talk with An Yan in a calm manner. But it seemed that the boy’s temper was much better than he had imagined.

However, before Zhao Chengxuan could go to the next topic, An Yan spoke again, "I can probably understand and appreciate your feelings, but I don't intend to forgive Zhao Xinxin. I don't intend to accept your apology either. "

Zhao Chengxuan looked puzzled and tried to be sincere and kind: "Is it because An Yan feels that my apology is not sincere enough? I actually picked out a few apology gifts specifically for you, but it was inconvenient to bring them here, so I put them in my space button in the meantime. As for Zhao Xinxin, I will punish her seriously according to classmate An Yan’s request, please rest assured of this. "

An Yan shook his head, "It's not because of those reasons. I won't forgive her because I don't want to forgive her. That's all. "

Zhao Chengxuan was confused. In his understanding, as long as his apology was sincere, his gift was well prepared, and his assurance was satisfactory enough, there was no possibility of not being forgiven.

But An Yan's perception was not within his understanding.

An Yan's thoughts jumped straight out of his perception while the content was very simple: "I believe that whether I forgive or not is my personal choice and has little to do with the kind of apology you make. It's because Zhao Xinxin's previous actions went too far and have made me completely disgusted with her, so no matter what you do, I will choose not to forgive her. "

Zhao Chengxuan was directly choked by these words. He wanted to refute it, but when he thought about it, surprisingly, he couldn't refute it at all.

An apology is a spontaneous action in which the wrongdoer takes the initiative to express their apology to the person they have hurt. So the focus in this matter is the repentance and apology of the wrongdoer rather than the attitude of the person who has been hurt.

In most cases, however, the victim would choose to forgive if they received an apology.

Even if the person refuses to accept the other party’s apology, they are instead said to be calculating and not generous.

Under such circumstances, as long as the apologizer showed enough sincerity, the person to whom the apology was made to would have no choice but to forgive, regardless of whether their heart was really willing to accept it or not.

Therefore, Zhao Chengxuan never expected An Yan to reject him for such a reason.

He wouldn’t accept the apology because he didn’t want to. Although this was something that few people would say, surprisingly, there was nothing wrong with it!

Cheng Yang, who was worried that An Yan would be soft-hearted and be coaxed by Zhao Chengxuan, could not help but be happy when he heard these words, "Yan Yan is right. Whether he accepts the apology or not, is his own choice. Since Uncle Zhao came to apologize to Yan Yan in good faith, he should not force him to accept the apology, right?"

Zhao Chengxuan was choked again and his face even turned a little ugly, but this matter was not urgent and he planned to take his time.

So he did not continue to express his apologies, but adjusted himself and said with a smile, "Student An Yan is right. In that case, I will not bother you much."

"Please wait a moment," An Yan called out. Zhao Chengxuan looked over with anticipation, and he said slowly, "I hope that you and Zhao Xinxin will not deliberately appear in front of me in the future. Of course, this is just a request. I hope you can consider it if you really realize your mistakes. If not, you can just pretend you didn't hear it."

 Zhao Chengxuan, who thought that things might turn around, suddenly turned green in the face.

This An Yan seemed docile and easy to fool, but only after making contact did he realize that he was, on the contrary, very difficult.
