Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 835: Chapter 5: Domineering (Part 2)

Just considering the tight relationship with the Roster Group, the exchange program will definitely proceed more smoothly.

"Looks like I can only play the role of protector again," Zhou Ziang said as he passed by the entrance of the grand hall and saw Xiao Xian and Wang Shuai standing nearby.

A deep male voice whispered in his ear: "Let Wang Shuai be your dance partner." With this somewhat commanding secret message, Zhou Ziang entered the hall with Aisha.

What kind of person is this, even choosing dance partners for her? Xiao Xian was annoyed and wanted to mimic Yiyi by finding a random dance partner, but Wang Shuai learned from Yiyi’s actions and seized the initiative, pulling Xiao Xian’s hand like picking up a basket and led her into the hall.

"Isn’t it too overbearing?" Xiao Xian complained.

"If I were to compare steak, I’d rather stick to local porridge. I think Ziang should understand me," Wang Shuai mocked Xiao Xian’s reaction, but his smile immediately faded when he entered the hall and saw Yiyi intimately clinging to an Australian male student, whispering in his ear.

"If you don’t chase after her now, our Yiyi will truly be gone." Xiao Xian took the fruit cocktail offered by Wang Shuai, sipped it, and shrugged, "It doesn’t taste good, nothing compared to our cherry juice."

"Instead of criticizing me, you’d better reflect on yourself. Didn’t you see Roster Aisha almost hanging all over Ziang?" Wang Shuai quipped back, both standing in a corner of the hall, radiating envy.

Aisha went all out today, sticking close to Zhou Ziang in the middle of the hall, whispering playfully in his ear without any reserve.

The reason for her bold actions was a firm order from her mother, assigning Zhou Ziang full responsibility for ensuring the American exchange delegation receives the highest evaluation.

Zhou Ziang was understandably displeased, but public commitments and a promise to Lady Serlin forced him to complete this final evaluation in order to secure a place in Cangqiong Palace, aiming beyond Gold Grade.

Regarding Xiao Xian, he could only apologize for now, grateful that Wang Shuai was the shield this time. Zhou Ziang endured Aisha’s whispering in annoyance, looking around the hall to find Xiao Xian.

A charming pink figure leaned against one corner, seemingly engrossed in conversation with Wang Shuai.

Damn Wang Shuai, I only asked him to watch her a bit, was it necessary to hold Xiao Xian’s hand the entire time? Zhou Ziang snorted, causing Aisha to follow his gaze to the other side of the hall.

Again that annoying female student, always trailing behind everywhere.

Even wearing a short skirt that reveals legs enviable to any woman, her face is naturally pretty without much makeup, and her captivating eyes give off charm, eye-catching.

The more Aisha looked, the more annoyed she became, and snake-like, she fell forward in front of Zhou Ziang, only to be blocked by a freckled face shoved in front of her.

"Sorry, my friend here really wants to ask Miss Aisha to dance but didn’t dare to speak up, so I’m asking for him," said a tall girl in a black floor-length gown with a frosty expression, casually dragging an Australian male exchange student towards Aisha.

"Leader Zhou, would you care to share a cocktail with me? My Mandarin isn’t great," Yiyi pleaded, looking innocently apologetic, regretting rashly pulling the fast-talking student inside.

Regrettably, she had a momentary lapse, dragging an English-speaking student into the venue, unlike Wang Shuai with whom she shared no language barriers.

The Australian boy unwittingly collided with Aisha’s soft embrace at just the right moment, presenting himself for attention. He reacted quickly, wrapping an arm around Aisha.

This way, Aisha couldn’t break this interaction without creating offense.

Zhou Ziang silently praised Yiyi, recognizing why Xiao Xian said her friends were forceful and capable; Zhang Yiyi was seemingly carefree but acted decisively compared to Xiao Xian.

Holding two glasses of wine, Zhou Ziang followed Yiyi, leaving behind Aisha’s "embrace," heading towards Xiao Xian and Wang Shuai.

Earlier, many had seen this scene unfold, surprising some at the cold Eastern beauty who dared offend the Roster family. Others started investigating Zhou Ziang’s background, igniting competition.

"Aren’t I a friend? Unlike you, who saw me being harassed by the hairy guy without coming to my rescue," Yiyi teased Xiao Xian, finally relaxing from her previous aloofness.

"Perhaps someone enjoyed it, afraid we’d interfere," Xiao Xian gazed at Zhou Ziang, not showing much joy, but rolled her eyes at him.

"From here on, it’s up to you to manage. I’ve done my best," Wang Shuai said, setting down his glass before bowing to Yiyi, inviting her for a dance.

It’s high time to give space for private conversations on both sides. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please feel free to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on ReadNovelFull.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
