"Damn it, this old man, dare to meddle in this young master's lifelong affair!"
Xu Fan, with a patched snakeskin bag on his back, cursed as he walked on the sidewalk of Zijing Middle School.
Wearing a sleeveless shirt, shorts, flip flops, and carrying that tattered snakeskin bag, his beggar-like appearance puzzled a group of young female students, wondering how such a beggar managed to enter Jinling City's famously prestigious school.
Xu Fan, with a thick skin like a city wall, didn't feel odd about the girls' stares at all. He flopped down in front of their legs, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Hey! Classmates, your boyfriends have dropped!"
"Go to hell! Rascal!"
Xu Fan was good-looking, his skin sun-kissed and his muscles well-defined suggesting masculinity, but it was all undermined by his shabby dress. The uniformed schoolgirls nearby made a face at him and then ran off without a trace!
"Ah, indeed the girls of springtime, how shy!"
Xu Fan stood up, dusted himself off, and watched those pairs of long white legs disappear into the distance with a sigh!
If it wasn't for getting hurt on this mission, returning to see that old man, and then being forced by him to get married, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state, escaping from Banan Village to Jinling City.
"Hehe, if Viper knew that the gunshot not only didn't take my life but gave me x-ray vision, would he be so angry he'd vomit blood?"
Thinking back to a month ago when he led White Crescent on a mission in America and was ambushed by Viper, Xu Fan's eyes narrowed, a golden flash in his right pupil!
Having survived a great disaster to gain x-ray vision, it would be okay if he didn't peek at all the beauties around. But damn that old man for forcing him to get married right away. Was he supposed to hang himself from a tree?
If the girl was beautiful, it might be somehow okay, but what if she were a prehistoric dinosaur? Would he, an eighteen-year-old groom, even survive?
According to the old man, Xia Xiaodie was studying in Zijing Middle School. He must find her and settle this marriage!
...
Today was the day the first monthly test results of Zijing Middle School's senior year were released. The teachers had just posted the scores on the bulletin board, and the surrounding students who had been waiting rushed over!
"Out of the way! Let Chen Sheng see first!"
Before they reached the bulletin board, a few boys with dyed hair kicked and punched, pushing them back three meters away from it.
A boy with gold-rimmed glasses walked out from behind them, his lips tilted up in a sly smile, glancing at a figure in the crowd.
"Hehe, Shimeng Guan, the other day, you said as long as my name is at the top of the list, you'd agree to be my girlfriend. Are you ready to call me 'hubby' now?"
Chen Sheng's gaze fell on a pure-looking schoolgirl in a short uniform skirt, her black hair cascading down her shoulders, her makeup-free oval face, delicate eyebrows, and sparkling eyes beyond pure and charming.
Her delicate hands held textbooks in front of her chest, her skirt barely covering her long, straight beautiful legs, standing amid the crowd, she was breathtaking like a flower blooming among hundreds more.
That comment from Chen Sheng annoyed her, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she responded unhappily, "Chen Sheng, I meant win by real skill, not by cheating!"
As one of Zijing Middle School's four school beauties, Shimeng Guan had been pursued by Chen Sheng to an irritating extent, prompting her to use this tactic out of desperation. But this guy went ahead and stole the exam paper, had his minions help cheat, just to meet his goal!
"Hehe, Shimeng Guan, I don't care about that!"
Chen Sheng, far from feeling shameful about his actions, grinned mischievously and said, "Go! Rip off the scorecards for the top hundred, but be careful, that's the evidence, don't ruin it, so no one can deny it later!"
He set his cronies on ripping off the scorecards but then noticed that everyone around was staring in awe toward the bulletin board.
"Damn, what are you all staring at…"
Chen Sheng turned his head to look at the bulletin board and was instantly dumbfounded.
This bumpkin! When did he appear?
"What are you looking at, never seen a handsome guy before?"
Xu Fan had no idea what the score report in his hands meant, he had just spotted Xia Xiaodie's name on it, when suddenly everyone around him started staring.
"I know I'm handsome, but I have thin skin, so please, don't stare at me like that, thank you."
Xu Fan pouted, crumpled up the score report, and casually threw it, making an arc that landed directly into a distant trash can.
"Watch closely, I didn't litter."
The crowd's gaze was still fixed on him, their initial shock turning into sympathy, Xu Fan rolled his eyes, without overthinking, casually explained, and then his gaze fell on Guan Shimeng in the crowd, and he walked over to her.
Chen Sheng was trembling with anger at this point, this guy had tossed away the hard-earned evidence of his first place, and now he wanted to hit on Guan Shimeng?
"Fuck! Bumpkin! Beat him up for me!"
The three lackeys trailing behind Chen Sheng, as if injected with adrenaline, swung their fists and charged directly at Xu Fan!
Xu Fan rolled his eyes, just asking someone a question, was it necessary to get this angry?
As the three boys in school uniforms approached, Xu Fan pouted, and in a blink, he slapped them with three lightning-fast slaps!
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Three crisp sounds rang out! The perviously evil-looking trio were instantly disoriented by the slaps, and they plopped down on the ground.
"This..."
All the students around had their eyes wide open, Xu Fan's hand speed was shocking, they hadn't even seen how he moved!
"Fuck you!"
The lackeys were beaten without a chance to retaliate, undoubtedly a slap in the face for Chen Sheng, who was acting like the boss. Clenching his teeth, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to give Xu Fan a solid thrashing!
"Get lost!"
But before he could get close, Xu Fan kicked him, and Chen Sheng cried out, instantly falling face-first onto the ground with his buttocks in the air.
"I was just asking someone a question, look at you guys, getting so heated?"
Xu Fan shook off the dirt from his flip-flops, didn't mind the students who were scared away, put on an innocent smile, and walked towards Guan Shimeng.
Everyone stepped aside, leaving Guan Shimeng alone, frozen in place, hugging her textbooks tightly against her chest, watching as Xu Fan slowly approached, her fair cheeks suddenly blushing with two red clouds.
What if... what if he, like Chen Sheng, confessed to her, what should she do?
He had helped her out of a tight spot, but she had just met him for the first time...
Hesitating, Xu Fan had already walked up to Guan Shimeng, looking at this shy, pure school beauty who dared not meet his eyes, Xu Fan's mouth slightly curved, saying, "Hey girl, do you know Xia Xiaodie?"
