If we say that their previous relationship was that Huo Jun was pursuing Su Yi, then after he held Su Yi's hand and she did not refuse, they had tacitly entered the dating stage.
When Su Yi returned to the college that day, she began to urge the Su family to cancel the engagement as soon as possible - she didn't want to be Xie Mingzhao's fiancée anymore.
But the conflicts of interest in a big family were not something that could be resolved by a junior like her. In order to increase the leverage, she did not hide it and directly mentioned Huo Jun.
Ordinary people may not know how many lovers and illegitimate children the emperor has, but for a family like the Su family who is good at scheming, even if they can't know everything, they at least have a rough idea.
The other party did not reply to Su Yi immediately. It seemed that they needed to weigh the pros and cons. It was not until the next morning that they asked her if she was sure.
Although the Su family is a noble family, they have always been in a mediocre position in the real upper circle and cannot enter the core of the Capital Star. If they marry into the Xie family, the family can only maintain the status quo and cannot move forward. However, if they invest in the right treasure and stand on the right side, when a new ruler comes to power in the future, the status of the Su family will definitely be different.
In the past, they might not have dared to gamble, but Huo Jun's strength now far surpassed that of others.
And from the fact that the Emperor showed no signs of anger when the Black Rose's pirate group was destroyed not long ago, it can be seen that he did not have much feelings for those lovers and their children. Even though he showed that he loved Black Rose so much in the past, now that she is gone, he does not feel sad at all. He is so cold and indifferent that it is chilling.
But it is precisely this kind of indifference that makes him only value powerful descendants. Whoever has the strongest ability is likely to be the final winner, and it has nothing to do with the selfish favoritism of the superiors.
Huo Jun is outstanding enough, and the Su family is on his side. If he succeeds in the future, the rewards will be huge. Even if he fails, the only loss will be the marriage with the Xie family. This deal is definitely a good deal. The only thing that needs to be considered is whether Su Yi can hold on to Huo Jun firmly, so this question arises.
Of course Su Yi was sure about Huo Jun, but she would not tell Su Jiaming. She just acted coquettishly and clingyly in the tone of Miss Su, and added at the end: If Huo Jun knew that she was engaged, he might get angry and ignore her, so she must cancel the engagement!
The balance in the Su family had been gradually tilting, but after her pestering, they finally agreed to stop haggling with the Xie family and talk directly about breaking off the engagement.
Two days later, when the good news came, Su Yi was taking a walk with Huo Jun. As they walked, they planned to go to the other side of the capital star on the weekend to find a local delicacy.
The communicator rang, and she raised her wrist to see a message from the Su family, saying that they had reached an agreement with the Xie family. The two families maintained superficial peace and resolved the matter.
"What's wrong?" Huo Jun stopped and waited for her.
Su Yi quickly replied, shook the communicator on his arm, and said, "My engagement with Xie Mingzhao is officially cancelled."
"Really?" He beamed.
Su Yi couldn't help but look at him, "My business, why are you so happy?"
Huo Jun touched the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and said seriously: "Really? Maybe it's because my expressions have their own will and I can't control them."
Serious nonsense.
As the two of them walked along, they attracted a lot of attention, especially the usually cool senior Huo, who had a big smile on his face, which surprised everyone.
Until she reached the grove near Su Yi's dormitory, there were fewer people and the night breeze was cool. She didn't want to go back to her room right away, so she rested on a chair beside the path in the woods.
Huo Jun sat next to her, his expression now restrained. He touched his cheek, which was a little sour from laughing, and said, "If Xie Mingzhao comes to bother you again, remember to notify me immediately."
"It won't be a big deal," Su Yi picked up a fallen leaf from the chair and played with it in her hand. "He might be a little unwilling to accept it, after all, I was the one who proposed to break off the engagement first, but he is also a person who cares about his reputation and self-esteem, so he won't do anything that he would embarrass himself."
After listening to this, Huo Jun said with a slightly sour tone: "You seem to know him well?"
How could Su Yi not be satisfied with his behavior of being jealous
She said casually: "Yes, after all, I have known him for more than ten years."
Someone calculated in his mind that he had only known the other person for more than a month, which was nothing compared to more than ten years, and he felt even more upset.
After blocking the way for a long time, seeing that Sui ignored him, he had to find some sense of existence for himself and discredit his potential opponent. "Who knows if he will go crazy because his self-esteem is hurt? Anyway, you have to be careful. I'll be there whenever you call."
Su Yi picked up another leaf, pinched the two petioles with both hands, turned it around on his fingers, and said casually: "Don't worry, I can handle it myself when I call you. By the way, are your friends all right?"
"You mean Huang Cangcang and the others? They're fine. They're thick-skinned and strong, and they've been alive and kicking for a long time."
Thinking about the faces of those people who seemed to want to say something but stopped when they looked at him these days, Huo Jun felt that compared to the physical pain, their mental trauma might be greater. After all, not everyone could accept the setting that the little beauty was actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Thinking of Su Yi's speed and wonderful strength that day, even Huo Jun couldn't help but marvel. He didn't understand why Su Yi, who was supposed to be a delicate girl, had such strength, nor did he intend to delve into her secrets. It was just that every time after seeing her skills, he could feel that he still had shortcomings and realized that he needed to work harder to keep up with her, instead of being satisfied with the status quo.
Two girls walked past the grove. Su Yi saw the ice cream in their hands. Huo Jun followed her gaze and saw it too. He said with a shrewd look, "What flavor do you want? I'll go get it."
Su Yi then reported a long list of names.
Huo Jun disagreed: "Eating too much is unhealthy."
Having said that, he still wrote it all down, asked Sui to wait for a while, and trotted away.
Su Yi swung her legs and turned two leaves boredly. After a while, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned her head impatiently, but it turned out to be an unimportant person. She turned back with lack of interest and continued to turn the leaves.
Seeing all the changes in her expression, Xie Mingzhao thought of the scene when he went to the Starport to pick her up that day. When she saw him, her joy was beyond words. She kept circling around him, calling him "Brother Xie" all the time. At that time, he felt so annoyed that he wanted to stay away from her.
Now I have finally achieved my wish, but for some reason, I don’t feel as relaxed and happy as I imagined.
He walked over and stood in front of Su Yi, "Did you receive the message?"
Today, his family suddenly informed him that he didn't need to think about it anymore, because the Su family was determined and would no longer hesitate about the concessions made by the Xie family, and they just wanted to cancel the engagement.
After all, the Xie family was in the wrong first. If they did not want the two families' long-standing friendship to be ruined because of the two juniors, they did not have much room for negotiation and finally agreed to the Su family's request.
The "freedom" that Xie Mingzhao had been pursuing for more than ten years suddenly came to him before he had made any effort.
It’s like being in the arena, gathering strength for a long time, and when you are ready to launch an all-out attack, your opponent suddenly withdraws. That feeling is more like the disappointment of missing a step than the relief of winning without fighting.
He couldn't help but start thinking about the reasons for Su Yi's change in attitude. All the variables pointed to one person, someone she had known for less than two months - Huo Jun.
He didn't think that he was unwilling, he just had doubts about how deep the feelings could be in such a short time, and what did Huo Jun see in Su Yi
"Got it. Congratulations on finally achieving your wish." Su Yi said while he was thinking.
Xie Mingzhao pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at Su Yi, her appearance, expression, movements, and tone. As he looked, he felt a sense of disharmony.
Although she still had the same appearance, everything about her seemed different from before. The change was so great that one would almost think she was two different people.
He didn't know what his mentality was. Before he could react, he had already said, "Is it because of Huo Jun? You like him now, so I become a stranger?"
This statement is the best example of putting the blame on someone else. If Su Yi didn't remember who pretended to be a stranger at the beginning, she would have thought that she was the scumbag he was talking about.
She stopped turning the leaves, looked up at him, and asked curiously, "Isn't this what you want me to do? Remember that day when you told me that our engagement was not your wish and that you liked Qin Shu? I have kept the video evidence. If you can't remember, I can help you recall it."
"You secretly filmed the video?" Xie Mingzhao frowned and said angrily, "So you were pretending? What do you mean by liking me and not wanting to break off the engagement? Are you just pretending?"
Su Yi said nonchalantly, "You can think whatever you want. I'm glad I took the video, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain myself now. Don't bother me in the future, or I guarantee that everyone in the college will know that the admirable Senior Xie is a two-timing 'good man'."
Seeing her completely taking off her disguise, Xie Mingzhao frowned even more tightly, his face looking grim. "You deceived me, and you deceived everyone else!"
Su Yi was too lazy to listen to his tone of being a victim, and rolled her eyes and said, "I lied to you, and I still need to feel bad about it?"
Besides, this is just the beginning. It won't be too late to discuss whether it is a lie or not after she reveals her true colors in front of him.
"You—" Xie Mingzhao took a step forward, but was blocked by someone who suddenly appeared from the side.
Huo Jun was holding two ice cream cones with the ice cream balls stacked on top of each other. They were colorful and crooked, looking a bit funny.
But some people, even if they are holding two funny ice creams in their hands, which greatly damages their image, people still dare not act recklessly just by standing there.
He handed an ice cream cone to Su Yi and asked her to be careful not to drop it. Then he straightened up and looked at Xie Mingzhao, "Do you have something to ask my girlfriend?" While speaking, he even took a bite of the ice cream.
The Combat Department and the Command Department are both the face of the academy. Both of them are well-known figures in their respective departments, and were once equally famous. However, when they stand together now, a clear gap is revealed.
Compared with Xie Mingzhao's lost grace, Huo Jun, although careless, had the upper hand in terms of momentum.
Su Yi only took a glance at the two of them and had to admire her own good vision. Sure enough, her choice was correct.
But... She looked carefully at the ice cream in Huo Jun's hand, then looked at her own, and always felt that his ice cream ball was bigger than hers
Could he dare to hide it? It seems that we need to talk about it later.
Feeling her gaze on him, Huo Jun did not show it on his face, but he was proud in his heart. He tried even harder to exude his aura so that Su Yi could better appreciate his handsome side.
