The next day, Xiang Yu arrived at the university driving one of Boss Fang's Audis. Since he was working as a bodyguard, he needed to keep a low profile; hence, he donned his shabby sportswear and slipped on a pair of sneakers.
Walking around the campus, Xiang Yu could only see beauty everywhere, girls as gorgeous as clouds. "University really is different," Xiang Yu mused as he strolled, unabashedly ogling the girls he passed by, not hiding his lecherous demeanor one bit.
He had already investigated Fang Rong's class schedule, so he headed straight for her classroom. As Xiang Yu entered Fang Rong's classroom, all the students were engrossed in their phones, paying no attention to his arrival.
Xiang Yu scanned the large classroom and located Fang Rong's seat, then walked over and sat down next to her. He had just sat down when a male student approached him and nudged him, saying, "Excuse me, classmate, this seat is taken."
Although the student spoke politely, his tone carried a command.
"Taken? I don't see anyone here," Xiang Yu retorted, glancing at the student.
Fang Rong turned her head, and upon seeing Xiang Yu, she was first taken aback, then quickly filled with revulsion. "You? Stay away from me," Fang Rong said bluntly.
"See, kid? Fang Rong just told you to scram, so make yourself scarce," the student remarked, seeing Xiang Yu a bit unwilling to comply, visibly annoyed.
"You can also scram, stop bothering me," Fang Rong told the student.
"Did you hear that? She told you to scram," Xiang Yu chuckled.
"Both of you, just scram," Fang Rong raised her voice.
"Xiao Li, what's going on?" At that moment, a handsome student asked as he approached.
"Brother Xinglong, this kid took your seat," Xiao Li brightened as he saw Ding Xinglong arrive.
Ding Xinglong's father, Ding Shuizhi, owned a four-star hotel. Although it wasn't as grand as Xiangyun International Hotel, they were still considered wealthy.
Ding Xinglong sized up Xiang Yu and said disdainfully, "Kid, do you know this is my spot?"
"I don't!" Xiang Yu replied.
"Well, now you do, so scram," Ding Xinglong said coldly. In the school, Ding Xinglong was known to be a bully, with many students following him around. And he had set his sights on Fang Rong.
Fang Rong despised such people most. Her father was just like that; his daily violence and killings filled her with revulsion, so she seldom went home.
"This spot is mine now, how can it be yours?" Xiang Yu said, feigning ignorance.
"What did you say?" Ding Xinglong, who was used to having his way at school and unused to such defiance, said this as he grabbed Xiang Yu's clothes, ready to start a fight.
Just at that moment, the classroom suddenly became much quieter. A long-haired woman holding textbooks entered the classroom. Seeing her, Ding Xinglong gave Xiang Yu a vicious stare, then took a seat right behind him.
"Everybody quiet down, Teacher He has arrived," someone whispered. Then, all the male students in the class turned their attention toward the front.
Xiang Yu couldn't help but look forward too, and his heart skipped a beat at the sight. Teacher He was dressed in a professional suit, radiating an elegance and grace of a gentle, well-bred lady. Her eyes were large, her gaze pure and untainted, which gave people a feeling of tranquility and peace upon seeing her.
Upon laying eyes on her, Xiang Yu found himself staring, transfixed.
"Hmph! Pervert," Fang Rong snorted, glancing sideways at Xiang Yu.
"Who are you calling a pervert? How am I a pervert?" Xiang Yu said.
"Just one look at your eyes, and anyone can tell you're a super-pervert," Fang Rong said with disdain.
"Alright, since you said so, it seems only right that I live up to the name of a pervert," Xiang Yu said as he stretched out both hands and began to snicker lewdly at Fang Rong. He looked as ***** as one could possibly be.
Frightened by his actions, Fang Rong screamed and protected her body, drawing the attention of everyone around. Ding Xinglong, who was sitting behind them and had a clear view, could not stand to watch someone openly harass Fang Rong like that.
Ding Xinglong stood up and darted to Xiang Yu's side, grabbing his clothes and lifting him up. "Are you looking for death or what?" This sudden turn of events left the whole class in stunned silence.
"No, no, no, I'm not looking for death, please don't hit me," Xiang Yu pretended to be very scared. Seeing Xiang Yu dressed as he was and acting scared, the people around had already decided that this guy was a pushover; they hadn't noticed him around before.
Seeing this, Fang Rong was also taken aback; her bodyguard was not supposed to be this weak.
"What are you two doing? Don't you know you're in class?" Teacher He scolded at that moment.
"This kid..." Ding Xinglong pointed at Xiang Yu, about to say something.
"Teacher He, save me, this kid wants to hit me," Xiang Yu pleaded pitifully.
Seeing this, He Jing walked over. "Ding Xinglong, let him go," He Jing said sternly.
Ding Xinglong glared at Xiang Yu with gritted teeth, but he didn't dare to disobey He Jing and reluctantly let go.
"What's your name? I haven't seen you before," He Jing asked Xiang Yu.
"Hello, Teacher He, I've just transferred here," Xiang Yu replied, staring at He Jing with an eager-to-learn student's expression.
"If you're new here, don't cause trouble. Study hard, and if you need anything, feel free to come to me," He Jing said before turning to walk back to the lectern.
"Thank you, teacher, I'll definitely come to you if I need anything," Xiang Yu said with a smile. "I'll come to you even if there's nothing," he thought to himself.
"You sure know how to pretend," Fang Rong said with contempt as soon as Xiang Yu sat down.
"When have I ever pretended? I am a good student who strives for progress every day," Xiang Yu said with an upstanding look.
Fang Rong rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything. Rongrong had not exposed Xiang Yu's lie just now because she did not want her classmates to know about her family background, nor did she want them to realize that this handsome student beside her was her bodyguard.
One forty-minute class period soon went by. Xiang Yu had never felt time pass so quickly.
"I warn you, stop following me, or I'll expose you," Fang Rong threatened, then picked up her books and headed out.
"Save it; who's following you? I'm going to follow Teacher He," Xiang Yu snickered.
Fang Rong cursed "pervert" under her breath and then walked off. Although Xiang Yu said he wasn't following her, he was playing the role of Fang Rong's bodyguard and needed to ensure her safety, so he planned to follow her from a distance.
"You think you're leaving too, kid?" Ding Xinglong said mockingly. This class period had been sheer torture for him, the complete opposite of what Xiang Yu felt; he had never felt a class could last so long.
"Oh right, I still have something to discuss with Rongrong, so I'll be leaving first," Xiang Yu said, deliberately provoking him.
