Liang Zhenlun, though always high-profile, was not reckless enough to instigate violence within the school in full view of everyone.
Skipping class was one thing; the school might turn a blind eye to that, but if he teamed up with outsiders to beat up a schoolmate, he was almost certain to be expelled afterward.
His family might be rich, but not rich enough to support his wanton behavior.
"Jiang Chen..."
He sneered, raising his hand and pointing at Jiang Chen with a meaning-laden pause.
"Let's go."
Then, he put his sunglasses back on and left with his entourage, swaggering and flaunting as he walked away.
"Buzz..."
With the intense roar of engines, several sports cars turned and sped away.
As the farce ended, the crowd gradually dispersed, yet the recent conflict would inevitably become a hot topic at Dong University.
"Why did you say Jiang Chen is pursuing Li Shuru?"
Li Shao frowned and looked at Luo Peng, "Aren't you pushing Jiang Chen into the fire pit by saying that?"
Without even thinking about it, news of Jiang Chen pursuing the belle of the Arts department would soon be known throughout the school.
"I got carried away in the heat of the moment."
Luo Peng also realized his comment might have been inappropriate and that it could turn his good friend into the laughing stock of the conversation again, but in that situation, he really couldn't help himself.
"Ai Qian is just too disgusting; to slander you, she didn't even care about her own reputation. Li Shuru is ten thousand times better than her!"
Luo Peng, who had earlier been advising Jiang Chen to stay calm, changed his stance.
It was too late to undo what's been done.
Since he was the one who blurted it out, he had no choice but to brazenly start supporting Jiang Chen's pursuit of Li Shuru.
"I'll help you find out about Li Shuru's interests and preferences! I refuse to believe that the two of us brothers can't win over a girl!"
A buddha fights for a stick of incense.
A man fights for a breath of dignity.
He was adamant about helping Jiang Chen win Li Shuru over, just to show that bastard Liang Zhenlun!
"Luo Bro, is this something you can team up for?"
Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses awkwardly.
"Why not?"
This time Luo Peng seemed genuinely serious, even more so than when he was going after girls himself, and he declared forcefully, "Jiang Chen, just go for it, and if there's any difficulty with funds, you've got me!"
Li Shao shook his head.
Great.
Two lunatics.
"I appreciate the thought."
Jiang Chen smiled gently and patted Luo Peng on the shoulder.
"But when it comes to pursuing a girl, sincerity is key. How can I rely on someone else? I have my own way."
Luo Peng and the others were taken aback and a little stunned, watching Jiang Chen walk toward the basketball court exit.
What a confidently suave guy.

At night.
Li Shuru started her live stream again in her dorm room.
However, this time, she felt an indescribable sense of anticipation.
But half an hour into the live stream, a certain name had yet to appear, causing Li Shuru to be somewhat distracted while singing. Even the viewers began to notice that she seemed off.
"Streamer, why don't you dance?"
"Seconded!"
"Agreed! Shu Rui dancing is absolute! The number one dancing queen under the stars is none other than Shu Rui!"
...
When Jiang Chen entered the live stream, he saw viewers egging Li Shuru on to dance, and they were even suggesting she change into a short skirt and stockings with not-so-pure intentions.
A bunch of LSPs.
He cursed internally, but outwardly Jiang Chen played along, casually dropping a comment: "I want to see too."
Lonely Shadow on the Cold River: I want to see too.
The special badge of a guardian made this comment stand out to many.
"Lonely Shadow on the Cold River bro is here!"
"Hahaha, bro is also one of us!"
"Didn't expect Lonely Shadow on the Cold River bro to also have such taste!"
The live stream room immediately became noisy.
Obviously.
Last night, Jiang Chen's lavish spending indeed left a profound impression on many people.
A moment ago, Li Shuru, who was absent-minded, immediately had a sparkle in her eyes. However, she didn't go out of her way to greet "Lonely Shadow of the Cold River" and said with some difficulty, "I'm in my dorm right now, so it's not convenient for me to dance."
Many of her long-time fans knew she was a university student, but which university remained a mystery.
"No worries, just sway a little, that's all."
"Yeah, we're not that picky."
"Host, 'Lonely Shadow of the Cold River' big brother said he wants to see."
These viewers were not only lecherous but also clever, knowing how to use the situation to their advantage. They were aware that "Lonely Shadow of the Cold River" carried weight.
Li Shuru hesitated.
At the critical moment, "Lonely Shadow of the Cold River" jumped in again.
"If the host doesn't want to, then let's forget it. We shouldn't make things difficult for her."
While his words seemed to be helping Li Shuru out of a tight spot, in reality, they placed significant psychological pressure on her.
After all, who knew if he was being sarcastic?
Ordinary fans could be ignored.
But the "Number One Brother" on the leaderboard, he was not someone you could afford to offend.
"Well... okay then."
After weighing her options for a moment, Li Shuru finally stood up.
Lively music started playing.
Squinting eyes.
Caressing her chest.
Twisting her waist.
Shaking her hips.
Even without changing her clothes, the LSP in the livestream was still boiling with excitement, completely captivated.
On the other end of the livestream, holding his phone, Jiang Chen was also watching with great interest.
"Chen bro, what are you watching?"
Bai Zheli, who had just finished washing clothes, curiously leaned in, only to see the Academy's belle dancing hotly on the screen.
Bai Zheli's face immediately turned red.
"Go watch your TV. This isn't for kids."
Jiang Chen sent him away.
At this moment, gifts flooded the livestream.
Jiang Chen was not stingy either.
"Lonely Shadow of the Cold River" sent over a "Carnival."
A Carnival, valued at 300,000 Star Coins, which is 3 million yuan, was the most expensive gift in Starry Sky.
"Big brother V5!"
"Big bro is so generous!"
"Does the big bro's home lack a pet dog? I mean, the single since birth, can talk human talk kind."
Throughout the dance, Li Shuru never stopped. Her fingers tangled in her hair, her chin slightly lifted as she threw a seductive glance at the camera, full of allure and mystique.
So tantalizing it would take one's breath away.
"You're distracting me from assessing the situation between Russia and Ukraine."
"Broke up after dating, couldn't give birth to an Ultraman."
"Liu Zhiyuan, from class three of Electrical Engineering at Jiangbei University of Science and Technology, you're about to drool all over your screen."
They were all so talented.
Jiang Chen found the whole spectacle very enjoyable.
He had to admit, the Academy's belle really understood men. She must be the kind with a cold exterior but seductive inside; to men, she was nothing short of a siren.
Li Shuru was very professional. She danced for several minutes and only stopped when a sheen of sweat formed on her forehead,
"Thank you for the Carnival from 'Lonely Shadow of the Cold River.'"
She leaned close to the camera, bent down, and covered her chest with her hands. Her complexion was flushed from the intense activity, her breathing slightly labored, and her luscious black hair dangling down. The extreme contrast in colors made her even more enchanting.
"Lonely Shadow of the Cold River" did not speak, nor did he flaunt his wealth as he did last night, but he still demonstrated what it means to be rich and capricious with his actions.
["Lonely Shadow of the Cold River" has renewed a guardian role in this livestream for a hundred years]
Seeing the system's alert, the tens of thousands of viewers in the livestream were dumbfounded.
A, a hundred years?!!!
