"Huh? You spat into my mouth yourself, and now I'm the rascal? So, from now on, whenever you dislike someone, can't you just go and spit in their mouth and call them a rascal? Is that how it works?" Ning Chuan said.
"I... you... you shameless..." Jiang Churan was the school flower in high school and was immediately recognized as the class flower when she entered university.
She was always treated like a goddess by the boys. When had she ever been treated like this?
She was on the verge of tears from anger. Ji Xingyu and the other two stood dumbfounded.
During the class meeting just now, Jiang Churan, the class flower, stunned the entire class.
With over twenty male students in the class, who wouldn't want to have a few words with the class flower, Jiang Churan?
But this roommate of theirs, Ning Chuan, completely disregarded Jiang Churan.
Aside from Ji Xingyu and the others, some passing classmates also stopped to watch, looking at Ning Chuan with surprise.
Of course, there were also some angry gazes.
After all, with Jiang Churan's appearance, even though she had just arrived at school, she already had many fans.
"In any case, you... you must write a self-reflection for what happened today. During the next class meeting, you have to read your self-reflection in front of the class, admitting your mistake! That's an order from me as the class monitor!" Jiang Churan's face turned red, and she gritted her teeth while speaking to Ning Chuan.
"You? A little girl like you wants me to write a self-reflection? Haha, are you dreaming?" Ning Chuan found it somewhat amusing.
"You!" Being called a little girl by Ning Chuan, Jiang Churan became furious and was about to retort.
"Hey, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to Jiang classmates like this? I advise you to apologize to Jiang classmates immediately, or else you'll regret it!" Suddenly, a haughty-looking guy walked over, coldly looking at Ning Chuan.
Ji Xingyu's face instantly changed when he saw him and hurriedly leaned close to Ning Chuan's ear, saying, "Ning Chuan, this guy is called Wu Junyong, he's the high handsome and rich guy among our freshmen, quite domineering. He's like the new student tyrant. It seems like he's pursuing Jiang Churan now. You'd better not provoke him..."
"So there are so many brats in this university too? Tsk tsk," Ning Chuan shook his head helplessly.
"Who are you calling a brat?" Wu Junyong's face immediately darkened.
"Brother Yong, let me handle this guy for you," Wu Junyong's follower, a tall and sturdy guy, immediately rushed to Ning Chuan and grabbed his collar, viciously saying,
"Kid, apologize to Jiang classmate right now, or else I'll throw you into the lake!"
This follower was named Lei Pengfei, and after he finished his threatening words, he used force to grab Ning Chuan's collar, as if he was about to lift him up and throw him into the lake.
"You want to throw me in?" Ning Chuan's helpless expression turned into a playful one.
"As long as you obediently apologize to Jiang classmate and apologize to Brother Yong, I won't throw you..." Lei Pengfei proudly said.
However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and a tremendous force struck him.
Then, he released his grip on Ning Chuan's collar.
Next, everything spun around.
Finally, there was a "splash" sound.
He found himself surrounded by endless lake water from all sides!
"No!" Jiang Churan exclaimed in shock.
"What the hell!"
Ji Xingyu, Wu Junyong, and the others shouted.
In that split second, Ning Chuan actually grabbed the tall and sturdy Lei Pengfei and threw him into the lake!
Ning Chuan clapped his hands, glanced at the drenched and embarrassed Lei Pengfei in the lake, then looked at Wu Junyong and taunted, "Brat, do you also want to take a bath down there?"
"You!"
Wu Junyong became furious. "So, you're calling yourself Ning Chuan, huh? You dare touch my people, you're quite arrogant! I'll make sure you know that in front of me, Wu Junyong, you shouldn't act so recklessly! Otherwise, the price will be something you can't afford!"
Wu Junyong's face turned gloomy, and seven or eight big-sized students rushed up behind him, clearly his lackeys.
"Brother Yong, calm down. It was just a misunderstanding. We are all classmates, freshmen in the first year. There's no need to make it so complicated..." Ji Xingyu quickly stepped forward to mediate.
Zuo Enhua and Wang Xianmin also stepped in to separate Ning Chuan and Wu Junyong.
"Don't fight, don't fight! Let's save the person first!" Jiang Churan hurriedly spoke.
"Ning, remember this. You will pay for this next time!"
Wu Junyong glared at Ning Chuan menacingly, uttered a harsh statement, and then had someone fish out the soaked Lei Pengfei from the water before leaving in anger.
"Ning Chuan, that was too much! Throwing someone into the lake like that shows you're a maniac!"
Jiang Churan angrily confronted Ning Chuan.
"So, according to your logic, I should just stand there and let someone throw me into the lake without fighting back, and then I won't be a maniac?"
Ning Chuan looked at Jiang Churan with a mocking expression.
"You! You're twisting the facts!" Jiang Churan stomped her feet in anger.
"Um, Ning Chuan, you should be careful. Wu Junyong probably won't let it go so easily."
Ji Xingyu quickly mediated. They admired Ning Chuan but were also worried about him.
"It's fine." Ning Chuan shrugged indifferently.
Ring, ring, ring...
Suddenly, a phone call came in.
"Ning Chuan, where are you? Why haven't you come to the company? Today is the day of the company's new product launch. As the head of security, do you still want to keep your job?"
The voice of Qin Shiyun came through the phone.
"I understand. I'll go back to the company right away."
Ning Chuan replied and hung up the phone.
"Ning Chuan, are you... working?"
Ji Xingyu and the others heard Ning Chuan mention going back to the company and asked curiously.
"Yeah, I guess... I'm working part-time while studying," Ning Chuan replied with a smile.
"Where do you work? What kind of job?" Ji Xingyu asked again.
"Oh, I work as a security guard in a company," Ning Chuan said.
"Ah?"
Ji Xingyu was momentarily stunned, then quickly said, "Being a security guard is good, it's good."
Zuo Enhua and Wang Xianmin realized the awkwardness of the situation and tried to mediate.
The three of them exchanged glances and simultaneously thought: Just starting college and already needing to work, it seems that Ning Chuan's family background is not good, and he needs money.
Jiang Churan's anger subsided slightly, and she frowned.
"Ning Chuan, if your financial situation is not good, then you should be even more careful about not impulsively getting into conflicts with someone like Wu Junyong."
"Wu Junyong comes from a wealthy and influential family, while you need to work outside to sustain your tuition. If he really goes after you, how will you fight back?"
"Of course, I also have some responsibility in this matter."
"Well... let it go. I'll talk to Wu Junyong about this. Let me help you resolve it."
"But from now on, you can't be so impulsive."
"And also, regarding your absence from the morning class meeting, you don't have to write a self-reflection, but you must give me a leave note!"
"Whenever you need to leave the school to work, give me a leave note as well."
"This way, I can explain it to the teachers."
Jiang Churan finished speaking in one breath, pursed her lips, and looked at Ning Chuan.
