CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 82: MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER

In the Imperial College, there is no shortage of great scholars. If this behavior were to reach the parents, this...

The child in purple clothes glared fiercely and said viciously, "If you’ve got guts, leave your name. If you fall into my hands in the future... heh heh."

The two words "heh heh" were self-explanatory—it would certainly mean a fate worse than death.

Such a young age yet with a malicious mind, whose unruly child is this?

Ye Zhi slightly frowned and stepped out from behind Shen Chen, "My name is Ye Zhi. I live at No. 9 Ruyi Street in the South City of the Capital City, Ye Mansion. If you have any issues, come find me."

Subconsciously, she pushed Shen Chen behind her as if protecting a younger brother.

The little prince, seeing two people standing up for him, couldn’t help but brighten his eyes.

And those four people, who looked fierce just a moment ago, were now somewhat intimidated upon seeing this beautiful young lady.

Led by the child in purple clothes and the child in blue clothes, the other two were clearly nodding and bowing minions.

The child in purple seemed to want to overpower her with momentum. He took a step forward, furrowed his brows, and said viciously, "Fine, young master, I’ve remembered you."

With a flick of his sleeve, he walked away without looking back.

The child in blue’s triangular eyes shot out a fierce glare, making him appear even more sinister, and took a few steps towards Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi thought he was about to fight and assumed a defensive posture, nervously saying, "If you dare to hit, I will call the teacher."

Who would have thought.

The person stopped, laughing wildly a few times, "Just you, a single punch from me and you’d be down. I’ll let you off today."

He flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

The other two children, seeing their leader leave, also followed suit.

Ye Zhi sighed in relief, pouted high to Shen Chen and said, "You’re a scholar, you can’t win in a fight. They are four people. If we really fought, we’d lose. Until you’re able to protect yourself, and before you achieve success, patience is what you’ll need. In the future, if anything happens, the Ye Mansion will back you up. You can also use my name, Ye Zhi. You’ll be under my protection, Shen Chen. I will gather the strength of Ye Mansion to help you rise to the top."

I will gather the strength of Ye Mansion to help you rise to the top. This sentence seemed to be a promise as well.

Shen Chen remained silent, with nothing to say.

The little prince shyly interrupted their conversation, "Thank you both." That sister, so beautiful.

More beautiful than anyone in the palace!

Seeing the little prince, Ye Zhi’s heart melted for a moment, and she absent-mindedly reached out to softly pat his black hair, sweetly saying, "You’re welcome."

"By the way, you’re also a student here for exams, right? My friend and I are as well."

She pointed at the Little Traitor.

The little prince nodded, "I’m here to study."

"In the future, there might be a chance we’ll become classmates. My friend and I pass quickly, almost always, so you have to cheer up too." Ye Zhi finished speaking and was about to reach out to pat the little prince’s head again.

But Shen Chen intercepted in between, "Men and women should not have physical contact."

Ancient people’s mindset is different from modern times; casual touching was inappropriate.

Ye Zhi smiled apologetically at the little prince, feeling she might have been too forward, ignoring that she often held the Little Traitor’s hand and walked around. She hadn’t thought about his own intentions...

Time was about up, and it was time to gather at the study. Ye Zhi briefly introduced herself, "My name is Ye Zhi, I live in the South City of the Capital."

The little traitor beside her said nothing. To encourage him to be more outgoing, Ye Zhi nudged him with her elbow, indicating it was his turn.

"I’m Shen Chen." Having stated his name, he didn’t say another word.
