Li Mengjie gave Leng Xuan the car keys out of genuine kindness. For some reason, ever since Leng Xuan had agreed to her two conditions, she began to see him as one of her own, unable to bear the thought of him having to take a taxi.
But what about Leng Xuan?
He accepted the keys simply because he was afraid that Li Mengjie would reveal his complicated and inexplicable relationship with Xiao Yun. So how could he feel grateful to Li Mengjie? He just took the keys and got into the car without even glancing at Li Mengjie. This made Li Mengjie quite annoyed. Usually, at school, countless boys would try to please her, both openly and secretly. But in front of Leng Xuan, she seemed to become invisible. Could it be that her charm was fading?
Ling Xuejiu held the car key in her hand with a slightly displeased expression. It was rare for her to try being the good person and she wanted to see how Leng Xuan would appreciate her for it, but Li Mengjie beat her to the punch.
She wasn’t upset for any particular reason, just that after pondering last night, she felt that since her parents weren’t around and her grandfather’s health was poor, she couldn’t always upset her grandfather over trivial matters. Since her grandfather thought so highly of Leng Xuan, shouldn’t she try to get along with him? They couldn’t keep quarreling over every little thing; otherwise, how would they live their future days?
Both Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, annoyed, got into the car without speaking to each other.
Leng Xuan, too, was preoccupied. Driving the car, he was thinking about Xiao Yun and remained silent. He simply couldn’t understand why Xiao Yun suddenly wouldn’t even look at him this morning...

Huang Xiaojun, one of the Tenglong Five Tyrants, had a restless night due to the gauze wrapped around his hand. When he woke up, his eyes were almost panda-like, which was incredibly frustrating. After all, Huang Xiaojun had never had such an embarrassing moment in his two years at the school. When he got up early in the morning, he couldn’t help but call his underling Yellow Hair, his face grim.
Yellow Hair had spent the previous night out with a girl and didn’t get home until midnight. He was the type who couldn’t get out of bed until ten but was rudely awakened by the phone ringing early in the morning. Picking up the phone without knowing who it was, he blurted out, "Who the hell are you? If you don’t give me a damn good reason, you’re dead."
"Damn it, Yellow Hair, are you looking for death? How dare you talk to me like that? If you’re tired of living, just say so," Huang Xiaojun burst out, already in a bad mood only to have his anger stoked by some underling’s inexplicable curse. The world suddenly seemed so alien to him!
Once Yellow Hair realized it was Huang Xiaojun on the phone, his face turned white with fear, and he began apologizing profusely. After several minutes, he finally managed to calm Huang Xiaojun down, and then he asked what the call was about. Huang Xiaojun roared, "Damn it, you didn’t remind me and I almost forgot the important stuff. I told you to look into that guy, how is it going? Do you know what class he’s in? If I don’t kill him, I’ll never get over this."
"Ah! Boss, you mean that bumpkin? I haven’t found out yet. But I asked Zhou Li yesterday afternoon, and that girl claimed she didn’t even know that yokel, really frustrating!"
"Damn, you’re useless!" Huang Xiaojun hung up angrily, throwing his phone hard onto the couch. Then he said, "Damn it, if I find out which class that hillbilly is in, I’m going to beat him so bad even his mother won’t recognize him. I’ve been running this school for two years and never came across someone so damn cocky."
Just as he was fuming, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number calling.
Frowning slightly, Huang Xiaojun hadn’t spoken yet when he heard a voice say, "You’re looking for Leng Xuan to take revenge, right? He’s in the 12th grade, Class 2!"
---------- Seeing the number of favorites on my phone increase by dozens, I feel grateful. Therefore, I offer another Chapter in hopes that everyone who hasn’t saved it will do so. If the number of saved favorites surges, I’ll post more Chapters. I’m too tired today, so that’s all for now. Good night, my dear readers---------------------------
