Zero, in a relationship?
The aloof beauty of Capital Royal Academy had never shown a pleasant face to any boy, not even the Young Master of the Stark Group, who had been beaten by her.
How could any man possibly get close to her?
Xu Du couldn’t quite believe his own eyes, and rubbed them, ensuring it wasn’t an illusion.
Zero was truly walking shoulder to shoulder with a man.
Instantaneously, many hearts were broken.
Subsequently, the area outside Capital Royal Academy exploded with chatter.
"Who is he?" many people whispered amongst themselves.
From this, it was clear he wasn’t one of the distinguished figures of Capital Royal Academy.
Capital Royal Academy was Chuanxing City’s premier Extraordinary Academy, undisputedly number one, where all the top figures converged. Since he wasn’t known as one of their prominent figures, it meant Xu Mo might not be so exceptional.
So, where did they lack?
"Let’s go take a look."
Someone chased after them, curious even as a mere onlooker, about the girl who had caused such a stir upon entering Capital Royal Academy. What kind of person was her boyfriend?
Perhaps they were all wrong?
Was he her brother? Her younger brother?
At any rate, a relative!
Within the academy, Xu Mo attracted countless gazes along the way, reminding him of the scene when he had previously visited Nanming Academy. However, even then, it hadn’t been as sensational as this moment.
The population of Capital Royal Academy surpassed that of Nanming Academy, and also boasted top-tier students.
Both men and women watched them, and seeing the jealous looks from the boys, Xu Mo took out a small gift from his pocket and handed it to Zero, saying, "Here."
Zero paused, and took it from Xu Mo’s hand—it was a carved model.
A giant beast, with a silver-haired beauty sitting atop it like a princess, her long hair flowing as though dancing in the wind.
And it even bore a slight resemblance to her.
Zero looked at Xu Mo.
"Does it look like you?" Xu Mo asked with a smile.
"I brought it specifically for you," Xu Mo said. "Like a battling princess."
Zero looked at the model, her hand slipping into her pocket, gripping it tightly.
This was the first time she had received a gift. Having lived in a castle all her life without contact with others because of her mother and Qiong’s strictness, as a child she could only stealthily read storybooks. The reason she chose the alias Fallen Princess was inspired by those storybooks.
She felt like a Fallen Princess, confined within the castle.
Of course, this was her first gift not only because of her past life experience, but also because, since coming out, she had never given anyone a chance.
Who would dare give a gift to Zero?
"Don’t you like it?" Xu Mo asked, seeing Zero’s lack of reaction.
"I do." Zero responded.
"That’s good." Xu Mo said with a smile.
Xu Mo felt, he was a bit like a scoundrel seducing an innocent girl.
"I won’t hit you today." Zero said quietly.
Was that why she called him here, to prepare to beat him up?
It had ultimately been a grave mistake!
The surrounding people weren’t too happy, glaring murderously at Xu Mo.
Despicable scoundrel!
So he had used this method to coax Zero, why hadn’t they thought of it?
Without a doubt, Xu Mo was a master at flirting but good for nothing academically.
"Zero." At that moment, a figure stepped in front of Zero, one of her classmates who had always had a crush on her.
However, he knew he wasn’t worthy, but he didn’t care, because everyone was in the same boat as him.
But now, someone had managed to deceive Zero with smooth talk and a small gift.
At least that’s what he thought.
The man looked at Xu Mo, his expression suddenly sharp, and said, "I challenge you on behalf of Capital Royal Academy."
"A challenge?" Xu Mo looked at him. Was this a popular ’entertainment method’ at Capital College?
Xu Mo looked at Zero beside him.
Zero frowned, stepped forward, and kicked out. Under the astonished gaze of Zu Leng, she kicked him squarely.
Zu Leng’s body flew up, then fell to the ground.
"Uh..." Xu Mo blinked.
Zero continued walking forward, and Xu Mo quietly followed, casting a sympathetic glance at Zu Leng.
He must be feeling quite desperate now, right?
Zu Leng indeed felt desperate, watching the backs of the two, heartbroken.
Zero might have been deceived.
The surrounding students were in an uproar. Xu Mo didn’t play by the rules, actually hiding behind Zero, the epitome of shamelessness.
But Zero didn’t mind at all.
Xu Mo felt the gazes from the surrounding students. He knew they considered him as a ’kept man’.
But it did feel somewhat similar!
In the academy dining hall.
Zero and Xu Mo found a spot to sit down. Zero asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I’ll have whatever you’re having," Xu Mo responded.
"Okay." Zero nodded and then went to get the food.
Xu Mo looked around at the environment, noticing the dining hall seemed unusually quiet, and every gaze was on him.
Zero, getting food for him?
A moment later, Zero returned with two servings of food, exactly like what Xu Mo had said.
"What’s wrong?" Zero asked, seeing Xu Mo looking at her strangely.
"Actually, even if you’re treating, I can foot the bill," Xu Mo said.
Zero seemed to ponder Xu Mo’s words. Could it be done that way?
"Let’s eat," Xu Mo said with a smile, understanding more about Zero.
She could fight, but seemed not too bright!
Zero quietly ate her food, same as usual, and Xu Mo, accustomed to her silence, quietly ate with her.
