Chapter 137: A Dazzling Appearance! (Fourth Update)
Translator: 549690339
Under the spotlight, Huang Xiaolong made a dazzling entrance!
He glanced at the door plaque of the classroom, and after confirming it was the right room, he stepped in.
Silence!
The class was utterly quiet!
All the students cast their strange gazes upon Huang Xiaolong.
Initially, they were speculating about the secret identity of this transfer student who had managed to win over Song Yuru, the pride of their class.
But… After their long expectation, it turned out to be a mere yokel!
A down-to-earth peasant who was quite literally covered in dirt from head to toe!
Their somewhat hopeful feelings disappeared in an instant and were replaced by doubt and …mockery.
The hot gazes cooled down in an instant, turning into contempt!
But Huang Xiaolong did not care about it much. Seeing Song Yuru, he happily walked over to her.
“Who are you?” Cao Huan stood in Huang Xiaolong’s path, stopping him.
“Um… I am the new student… Please excuse me,” Huang Xiaolong responded with a polite smile.
Being new, he wanted to build a good rapport with his classmates.
“Yuru, this is your so-called boyfriend?” Cao Huan’s gaze shifted between Song Yuru and Huang Xiaolong, astounded.
“Yes. He is my boyfriend.” Song Yuru announced confidently.
A collective gasp filled the classroom.
“Seriously? How on earth did our school beauty end up with a yokel for a boyfriend?”
“What happened to the rumored rich second-generation?”
“This is just not right!”
“Am I dreaming?”
No matter what others might say, seeing Huang Xiaolong made Song Yuru extremely comfortable. She couldn’t help but smile at him, “Little Long, I got you your textbooks.”
“Wait!” Cao Huan turned to Song Yuru, pondering. “Yuru, are you joking around? This dirty yokel has no right to be your boyfriend—do you think I’d believe that? I’m telling you, no girl in our entire campus would be attracted to someone like him!”
“Stop it! You’ve got no right to talk about my boyfriend!” Song Yuru retorted angrily.
Hearing Song Yuru affirm that he was indeed her boyfriend made Huang Xiaolong quite happy. However, Cao Huan’s words bothered him!
“Well, who are you? I don’t even know you. Why are you badmouthing me? You think no girl would be interested in me? Well, you’re wrong. Girls love me,” replied Huang Xiaolong, feeling wronged.
“Pfft…. Women love you? This is hilarious! I’m dying of laughter!” A slightly overweight girl was in stitches upon hearing his claim, almost falling off her chair.
The entire class burst into laughter.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s serious expression just made their laughter more uncontrollable.
“Oh my, this country boy truly has a talent for comedy, spreading nonsense with such a straight face…Look at him, he’s so serious, not cracking a single smile…”
“Hahaha, I’m guessing he either lives in a dream world or his own little world.”
“Saying he is popular with women? If any girl in our school falls for him, I’ll kneel down and call him dad!”
“Song Yuru probably just wants to use him as a shield. Too bad, I bet Cao Huan would break his hands and feet in anger!”
“You!” Cao Huan turned around and glared at Huang Xiaolong. “You must be a joke that Yuru found, right? Isn’t pretending to be her boyfriend out of fashion in this day and age? I give you an opportunity. Here’s 2000 yuan, take it and run! With this kind of money, someone like you could survive for months. If you do not leave, I will make you leave! Let me tell you, even my dog is better than you!”
As he spoke, Cao Huan pulled out a stack of money from his bag, counted twenty notes, and slammed them into Huang Xiaolong’s face, yelling, “Take the money and get lost!”
Huang Xiaolong could dodge it, and the notes fell scattered on the floor.
His gaze cooled down.
“You think you’re wealthy?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Cao Huan indifferently. “You think you’re a big deal.”
“Heh, you think the money isn’t enough?” Cao Huan sneered. “Cut the crap! You’re only worth this 2000 yuan! Not happy? Alright! Since you want to pretend to be Yuru’s boyfriend, why don’t you admit it in front of me? Go on, admit it! But I warn you, if you dare admit… I will cripple you!”
The sinister look in Cao Huan’s face got more intimidating.
The classroom turned silent again.
All the students waited for Huang Xiaolong’s response.
It was clear that if Huang Xiaolong dared to admit his relationship with Song Yuru, he would face the wrath of Cao Huan!
Considering Cao Huan’s connections and tactics, it would be child’s play for him to deal with a lowly peasant like Huang Xiaolong!
If he threatened to cripple Huang Xiaolong, he wasn’t joking; he would truly destroy him.
Song Yuru, however, was somewhat worried. Of course, not for Huang Xiaolong, but for Cao Huan.
She had witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s prowess and knew very well that Cao Huan stood no chance.
After all, it was Huang Xiaolong’s first day at school and she didn’t want him to get into trouble straight away.
“Well…I really am not Yuru’s boyfriend,” Huang Xiaolong stated with a straight face.
“Ah? Hahaha Look! Look! He chickened out! I told you! A backwater peasant who’s not even good as a dog dares to challenge me!” Cao Huan cackled arrogantly, then made a face at Song Yuru. “Yuru, why did you choose such a coward as your shield? If he had admitted it straight away, I would’ve actually respected him a bit, but look at him now! Hahaha~~~ It’s killing me.”
Song Yuru just smiled in response. She was quite confident in Huang Xiaolong, believing he had some reason for his denial.
The classroom exploded into laughter again—
“What a loser, he couldn’t even admit he was being used as a shield by the school beauty. Doesn’t he realize he’s slapping her face?”
“What a trash! Look at him, he doesn’t have a decent piece of clothing. If no one knew, they would think he’s a beggar, rather than a university student.”
“Our Binhai University is a prestigious institution, and the face of Binhai City. Someone like him here is a disgrace. His presence will definitely impact the image of our Binhai University.”
The reason these people went out of their way to insult Huang Xiaolong was because they saw him back down and assumed he had no strong background, so they kicked him while he was down. These actions were intended to please Cao Huan.
As expected, Cao Huan looked triumphantly around the room, basking in the glow of victory, full of vitality. “Students, it’s my birthday today. After school, let’s go party! All the expenses for today, I’ll cover!”
Cheers resounded through the classroom.
