"You? Just an ordinary commoner?!" Hearing what Xiao Tian said, Dongfang Wan'er rolled her eyes, wearing a look of total disbelief.
Although Xiao Tian's background check seemed completely unremarkable, after spending the past two days with him, Dongfang Wan'er refused to believe for a second that he was any ordinary commoner!
"It's true! Why would I lie to you?" Seeing that Dongfang Wan'er was dead set against believing him, Xiao Tian protested with an innocent expression.
"You're full of it! What ordinary commoner enlists in the military at thirteen? What ordinary commoner dares to beat up Yang Zihao and that whole pack of privileged brats and rich kids the moment they arrive? What ordinary commoner masters every single subject effortlessly?!" Hearing Xiao Tian's perfunctory response, Dongfang Wan'er snapped irritably.
Hearing this, Li Yuyan, who was standing nearby, also found her curiosity piqued. She felt that Dongfang Wan'er made a lot of sense, and she too was dying to know Xiao Tian's true identity!
"Uh, well... all of that stuff is just what I picked up in the army. I've always been pretty studious!" Straining for an excuse under Dongfang Wan'er's gaze, Xiao Tian finally managed to spit out.
"Studious?! You sleep through every single class from start to finish! You call that being studious?!" Hearing Xiao Tian's explanation, Dongfang Wan'er was practically fuming with anger.
Try as she might, Dongfang Wan'er couldn't manage to pry a single useful piece of information out of Xiao Tian's mouth.
"Uh... I already learned all this stuff in the army," Xiao Tian stubbornly insisted, refusing to budge.
"Everything is from the army! As if the army teaches you all that!" Hearing Xiao Tian pin everything on the military, Dongfang Wan'er shot back impatiently.
"Yup, exactly! The military teaches you all kinds of things. You can learn a ton of knowledge in the army nowadays!" Xiao Tian replied, still looking completely unrepentant.
"All right, Wan'er, you're definitely not going to get any useful information out of him. Guys who've spent time in the military always keep their lips zipped tight!" Seeing that Dongfang Wan'er was getting more and more worked up, Li Yuyan quickly intervened.
"Hmph! You, Xiao Tian—not a single word you've said to me this whole time is true!" Hearing Li Yuyan's words, Dongfang Wan'er glared indignantly at Xiao Tian.
"Hehe, Young Miss Dongfang, hurry up and eat!" Seeing Dongfang Wan'er's puffing cheeks, Xiao Tian chuckled.
"Hmph!" Dongfang Wan'er let out an angry huff at Xiao Tian's words, then stubbornly buried her head in her food and ate in silence.
Meanwhile, Li Yuyan's curiosity about Xiao Tian grew even deeper. Just a moment ago, Dongfang Wan'er had completely had Xiao Tian wrapped around her finger, but not two minutes later, the tables had completely turned!
After that, the three of them ate in silence. Nearby, groups of students were utterly shocked to see Xiao Tian suddenly sitting alongside Li Yuyan and Dongfang Wan'er.
They were dying to know how this sudden interloper managed to effortlessly handle the two school beauties, Li Yuyan and Dongfang Wan'er!
After finishing lunch, Xiao Tian, Li Yuyan, and Dongfang Wan'er headed back to the dormitories to rest.
Since this was an elite academy, the school provided students with private single rooms, which were situated separately from the main male and female dormitories.
As for Li Yuyan and Dongfang Wan'er, they were close girlfriends, so the two of them shared a double room. And our Young Master Xiao was assigned by Li Yuyan's father, Li Zheng, to a single room right next door to them.
"Man, having a rich dad really is the best! You can live this comfortably even at school!" Back in his dorm, Xiao Tian muttered to himself as he sprawled out on the bed.
Thinking of his wealthy old man, the corners of Xiao Tian's mouth curved slightly upward as he instantly pictured his father nagging him to come back home. Our Young Master Xiao was certainly no ordinary commoner.
On the contrary, his true identity was likely so formidable that even the Princeling Party in the capital would give him a wide berth at first sight!
