When Zhao Chang Gui saw that the two classmates he had brought for support had been dragged off by some fat guy, he felt regret well up in his chest.
What happened to Ah Feng and Cai that their face looked so sour?
This guy is huge, 300 pounds? No, 250?
Does that fatso know this kid?
If he does, can the three of us beat them?
If he didn’t know him, then why does he have Ah Feng and Cai hostage?
The oppressive feeling brought on by Meng Fan’s stature put Zhao Chang Gui in a state of panic. So panicked that he couldn’t help but take a step back when Chen Da Qian leaned forward.
“I don’t know what happened between you and Xiao Xue, but I know you guys broke up, and it’s been five months already. Regardless if it’s a friend or a boyfriend, it’s her choice, not yours. I think the basic standard of an ex-boyfriend would be to minimize or even stop seeing his past girlfriends and not to be entangled in their business.”
Meng Fan’s appearance had given Chen Da Qiang a dose of confidence. Of course, Da Qiang was a smart person. He knew what kind of girl Xiao Xue was. Fights, in general, should be avoided as much as possible unless his masculinity was put into question.
“It’s true, I like Xiao Xue, and I’m pursuing her right now. If you are upset because of this and want to fight me, then come. If you can promise you’ll stop harassing Xiao Xue after we fight, I won’t hit back. If you can’t promise that, then I won’t go easy on you!”
Chen Da Qiang’s remark was polite and full of courage. The spectators probably thought it was just interesting, or even a bit hormonal, but to Wei Zhi Xue, it was heroic.
When Meng Fan heard that, he decided that with what Da Qiang just said, no matter how bad the results were, Da Qiang won’t be depressed or upset.
He let out a sigh and turned to the two guys he was holding on to, suddenly turning gentle and kind. He laughed and then told them, “You know two days ago in this very spot, a couple had been arguing. The girl was screaming theft, so yours truly bravely tackled the guy and pinned him to the ground. If the girl hadn’t arrived in the nick of time, I woulda sat on him, and he would have left without his legs. But guess what the girl said? She said the guy stole her HEART! I was so mad!”
“Just now, I thought some cringey thing was happening again and was about to run in without a word and drop kick the guy, at least I have to make up for what happened last time. But when I heard it was a fight, I sucked it up; there was a crowd, so I had to take a look. Besides, there are so many people here. You guys are all watching, right? You two are also here for the commotion right?”
The two guys, along with some of the onlookers, widened their eyes and focused on Meng Fan.
The legendary man of steel that had tackled the man from the night before is you! Respect, respect!
“Hey, flat nose, are you still gonna fight? If you don’t start now, the professors are going to come!”
Meng Fan spoke of his embarrassing anecdote, for it was a threat to be reckoned. The two people he was holding onto did not dare to move. No matter how dumb they were, they could tell Meng Fan was warning them to stay out of this. They couldn’t tell if it was because Meng Fan knew the other kid, or if he pulled them away purely for spectating purposes.
Coupled with Meng Fan’s statement, Zhao Chang Gui who was already panicking gave up all thoughts of fighting.
The teachers were a secondary issue. God knows if this iron like man knew this kid. If he did and decided to tackle Zhao Chang Gui, could he stand it?
“You wait!”
Zhao Chang Gui was still fueled by the momentum, so it was impossible for him to leave without leaving some harsh remarks.
He glared at Chen Da Qiang, then squinted at Wei Zhi Xue. He squinted at Meng Fan as well. He didn’t even want to look at his two friends who were shackled by Meng Fan.
It didn’t matter how arrogant or proud he sounded; for after this fatty’s meddling, he couldn’t compete with the heroic statement Chen Da Qiang had said on behalf of Wei Zhi Xue.
Time to go.
I, Zhao Chang Gui will come back!
“This wasn’t as interesting as the other day.”
Meng Fan laughed happily and smiled at the two men he was holding. “Looking at the two of you is making my head even bigger. How about we go get some skewers?”
“Oh, it’s alright. It’s so late. The stores must all be closed now.” The two quickly refused.
“True. What a pity!”
Meng Fan sighed again and loosened his grip.
With their newly restored freedom, the two guys scurried away.
Meng Fan squinted his eyes at Chen Da Qiang and blinked his eyes bashfully. He picked up his drawing tube and headed for the convenience store. After resolving such a big conflict, he had to reward himself with a bottle of ice cola; no, make that two bottles!
After returning to the dormitory and stepping out of the shower, Meng Fan was contemplating if he should drink his second bottle of cola when Chen Da Qiang returned at the same time. After pushing the door open, he found Meng Fan and flung himself toward his body.
“Fat boy, I love you so much!”
Chen Da Qiang had always been a good speaker, but he sucked at expressing his emotions. So he just gave Meng Fan a big hug.
“Get lost! I just showered!”
Meng Fan straightened his body and straight-up bounced Chen Da Qiang away. “Besides, how could someone who’s about to have a girlfriend say the word “love” to a single dog like me? I’m allergic to you!”
Chen Da Qiang looked pleased with himself. “Not about to, I already have one.”
“F**k! What happened?!”
Xing Ta Ge who had been lying in bed with a sheet mask on and Zhang Zhou Wei who was chattering away on the phone with Wang Ya Nan both turned around.
Meng Fan took his cola and walked to his bed. This didn’t happen before he was reborn!
Before he died, Zhang Zhou Wei had to go through many hardships before he got Wang Ya Nan in January. Chen Da Qiang was extremely depressed from getting beat up and only got together with Wei Zhi Xue two months later due to her “unconditional” love for him.
As for Xing Ta Ge, the guy already had a girlfriend in the first week of school and had changed girlfriends three times so far without even taking a breather in between.
After being reincarnated, He became the only empty nester without a girlfriend in the dorm, two months ahead of schedule. No, he didn’t even have a nest.
A bird that had no place to go… A youth that was going nowhere!
While hearing three guys with girlfriends talk about sensitive topics for single dogs like him, Meng Fan obediently put his cola in Xing Ta Ge’s mini-fridge that he had bought exclusively for face masks.
I have to lose weight. There’s still a long way to go!
The next morning, Meng Fan set out on his weight loss journey.
“Ding! Great job! You’ve run 5 kilometers; elapsed time 38 minutes and 45 seconds.”
Meng Fan ran five kilometers with each km averaging 7 minutes and 45 seconds. His running posture and stride frequency had been corrected to an impressive degree.
I’ll have to keep going!
Even after the trauma from yesterday, Meng Fan managed to run another 2 kilometers before slowing down. If it hadn’t been for his morning class starting soon, Meng Fan was determined he could have beaten his own record with 8 kilometers.
“You’re still running every day?”
As he was stretching, a familiar voice came from behind him.
“It’s been a while!”
After 87 hours, Meng Fan’s eyes lit up at the sight of Wu Tong.
Many days had passed since he last saw her.
“I didn’t see you on the track, nor did I find you in the studio.” Meng Fan held back from asking her where she had been. He then said, “I’ve been pretty successful with my stream lately and found that streaming is really interesting! I wanted to buy you dinner to thank you, but I just couldn’t find you.”
“I’ve been watching your stream; you are really good! And pretty funny, too.”
Wu Tong must have just arrived at the track as she began warming up, revealing her lively and beautiful figure. She smiled. “I was back at home for the last few days, my thirteenth eldest brother got married.”
“13th brother?”
Meng Fan paused for a moment.
‘Why did that sound like something only someone from a family that inherited the imperial throne would say?’
“I have a big family. I’ve got eighteen older brothers and thirteen younger ones.”
