Lin Huai laughed softly.
“It looks like I'm making enemies on my first day.”
"Relax, I won't let them trouble you,” Wei Qiamian said apologetically.
Lin Huai's grinned confidently.
“They can't bother me.”
“Oh my God,” one of their classmates said. “He's the one who just beat up Zhang Jindong on the basketball court. No wonder I felt like I'd seen him.”
“I was there too. He beat Brother Dong until his face was covered in blood!”
“Brother Dong is one of the toughest freshmen in the sports department. We shouldn't mess with this guy.”
For a moment, those hostile gazes lessened, but plenty of people looked smug. Zhang Jindong wasn't the type to just give up. They looked forward to watching him teach Lin Huai a lesson.
Hearing to the surrounding discussion, Wei Qimian's scooted her chair away from Lin Huai.
Lin Huai noticed it, and sighed, putting on a hurt frown.
“I thought transferring to Yulan would mean I could finally focus on my studies. Now, instead of being snubbed by rich kids, I’m almost beaten on my first day. Am I so useless that there's no school where I'll be able to work in peace?”
Sure enough, Wei Qimian's looked over in sympathy, biting her lip.
“Where'd you go to school before this?” she asked softly.
She looked so sexy when she bit her lip, Lin Huai felt like he was falling in love already. His heart was racing, but he kept his expression gloomy, trying to look mysterious and quiet.
“Tongcheng Music College,” he said, voice heavy with regret.
“But if you ended up here …”
"I've wanted to study music since I was a child. My dream is to have my voice heard all over the world, but I'm from a small down with no good farmland, and the harvest this year wasn't very good. The tuition for the music college was too high. This was the only school to transfer to.”
When speaking about music, Lin Huai's eyes lit up with excitement. When he talking about being forced to transfer to another school, Lin Huai spoke with soft heartbreak. It was obviously working. Wei Qimian looked at him with tender sympathy. Maybe he could be an actor someday.
Wei Qimian wiped her eyes.
“That explains the late transfer. I wasn't expecting my new classmate to be a musical genius. Unfortunately, the music schools are expensive. I like music very much. Who is your favorite musician?”
“My favorite is Bach, the German composer,” Lin Huai said, shining with passion. Some people call him 'the Father of Western Music'. He could play the the organ, violin, and the harpsichord.”
“You like Bach too?” Wei Qimian asked, eyes bright with excitement.
Lin Huai had researched Wei Qimian. She was interested in music, painting, and dance. Seeing her expression, he'd could tell he'd found his in.
“Yeah,” he said, smiling cheerfully. “Bach’s music style integrated the styles of so many different places. He combined the best of Italian, French and German traditional music so seamlessly. His music was wonderful.”
"In my opinion, he is the greatest musician of all time in Germany,” Wei Qimian agreed.
“Agreed. But a few of my opinions about him are a bit more controversial.”
“Can I hear them?”
When he said this, Wei Qimian's eyes were full of passion.
Lin Huai couldn't lose this chance. He decided to strike while the iron was hot, showing off every bit of knowledge he'd gathered. Wei Qimian admitted some of his ideas had never even occurred to her. At the end of the class, Wei Qimian looked at him, blushing.
“Oh, I missed half the lecture today. Next time we talk, we need to wait for break. Geez, talking to you makes me feel like a little kid. I doubt even our music teacher knows half as much as you. Only a professional music teacher would have a chance at keeping up with you.”
Lin Huai laughed.
“I haven't even started to get into it.”
Wei Qimian grinned. Even Lin Huai's cheeky side was charming.
As they chatted. Lin Huai noticed the boy who'd talking up Zhang Jindong came to the doorway, trying to subtly get the attention of a few trouble makers. They came over to chat, occasionally glancing at Lin Huai.
This dumb-ass had seen the fight and still thought they could take him?
Lin Huai knew that Zhang Jindong had convinced himself he had a chance. He probably though he'd only lost because of Lin Huai's sneak attack. If he recruited a few computer science kids, he'd have a chance to drive Lin Huai out of his own department.
Lin Huai wasn't worried in the slightest. His plan was to chat with Wei Qimian, so he chatted with her and ignored the troublemakers. When the boys passed by Lin Huai on their way back to the desks, they shot him nasty looks, but seemed afraid to voice their opinions in front of Wei Qiamian.
After returning to their seats, they resumed their whispering.
“Those guys are trouble,” Wei Qiamian told Lin Huai softly. “Look at the guy with a dragon tattoo on his arm. His name is Zhang Chunyu. His brother is a bigshot scumbag in second year called Zhang Chunlei. Everyone calls Chunyu 'Second Lei' and shows him a lot of respect. He's sort of the boss of the class.”
Lin Huai glanced back. Zhang Chunyu was about 6'2” and had a tattoo on his arm. He saw Lin Huai was looking at him and drew his thumb across his throat..
“I think they're targeting you,” Wei Qimian said softly. “Maybe it's because you're a transfer student?”
Lin Huai smiled.
“For all we know, they're all talk. Besides, my personality will win them over sooner or later. Because I’m a nice young man who is keen to learn and versatile.”
Wei Qimian giggled.
“You've got thicker skin than I'd expect.”
Lin Huai glanced back at the bullies and chuckled.
"If you don't believe me, just watch. Sooner or later, they'll fall to my charms."
Wei Qimian was the clearly the goddess of the freshmen year. Lin Huai getting on her good side was bound to make him plenty of enemies.
The second class was Chinese language and literature. Wei Qimian focused on her studying, face serious. Not many students were bothering to study at all, and none of them were as focused as Wei Qimian. Even if some of these students would behave themselves in a regular class room, the environment made it too tempting to goof off.
Lin Huai’s had already studied past university level. He spent a few minutes of pretending to listen to class seriously, but he was stealing glances at the goddess beside him for the rest of class. Who would be able to help it? Soft and delicate skin, long eyelashes… The class wasn't boring at all.
Lin Huai’s arm would occasionally “accidentally” bump Wei Qimian’s arm. When Wei Qimian looked at Lin Huai, he would look steadily ahead, listening to his own racing heartbeat… It wasn’t that Lin Huai never been with another woman, but he'd never experienced this feeling before. It was as though a simple smile, a simple gaze, a brush against his arm, would make his heart beat faster.
A class period passed by quickly. Afterwards, Lin Huai walked out of the classroom and into the men’s bathroom at the end of the hall. Just as he was unzipping his pants, Zhang Chunyu walked in with a few underlings. The underling beside him kicked open every stall.
“Get out of the way, Second Lei wants to do his business here. Everyone else, get out.”
A muscular youth stumbled out of the stall, grumbling, but smiled when he saw Zhang Chunyu.
“Second Lei, which small fry are you teaching a lesson to?”
“Our class's business has nothing to do with you,” Zhang Chunyu said indifferently.
The boy spit on the ground, glared at Zhang Chunyu, and walked straight out. A few of Chang Chanyu's party bristled.
“What crawled up his ass?”
“Yeah, Second Lei, we should teach him a lesson too.”
“Official business is more important.” Zhang Chunyu put his hand on Lin Huai's shoulder, smiling, “Hey transfer student, I'm afraid you can't leave.”
“Oh, why?”
Lin Huai finished urinating. He looked at Zhang Chunyu, pulling up the zip of his pants. His calm demeanor only made Zhang Chunyu more enraged.
Zhang Chunyu turned to two of his followers.
“Both of you go into the hall and keep lookout! Don’t open the door no matter what you hear!”
“Okay, boss!”
They closed the door behind them. Zhang Chunyu stretched his fingers and chuckled.
“You’re arrogant. I don't think you are afraid of me at all!”
Lin Huai put his hands into his pockets, looking at Zhang Chunyu with disdain.
“You think you’re amazing because you’re tall?” he asked, smiling. “If you're so strong, stand up for yourself. Zhang Jindong ordered you to deal with me, right?”
Seeing that Lin Huai was still calm, Zhang Chunyu's looked at him with genuine surprise.
"Yes. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending Brother Dong. I just happen to want Brother Dong to owe me a favor. Even if I don’t beat you up, he would beat you. The sports students aren't easy to deal with.”
Lin Huai chuckled.
“Going around preying on the weak... Why do you deserve to be the boss of the class? I think you deserve to eat shit.”
Zhang Chunyu's face twisted. He grabbed Lin Huai's collar.
“What did you say?” he snarled.
“I said you deserve to eat shit.”
“Guys, help me wreck him,” Zhang Chunyu growled. “Don't hold back. Whatever happens, I'll take responsibility!”
As Zhang Chunyu’s fist came at Lin Huai’s face, three of his underlings rushed forward with him!
Lin Huai grabbed Zhang Chunyu's fist easily. He jabbed the soft hollow of Zhang Chunyu's arm, twisting it the wrong way. Zhang Chunyu screamed in agony as Lin Huai kicked him to the ground.The other three people did not expect tall, well built Zhang Chunyu to be taken down by so quickly. They stood frozen. Without hesitation, Lin Huai slapped one of the students, sending him flying. He kicked the other two students to the ground with one leg.“You really think you can mess with me when you're so weak?” he asked scornfully.Zhang Chunyu covered his injured arm, his face was sore and pale and sweating. He set his jaw stubbornly.“You bastard! You may be ruthless, but I won't give in!”“Good, you have some backbone. I like people with resolve, so you'll get some special treatment!” Lin Huai grabbed Zhang Chunyu by his hair and forced his head towards the urinal. Zhang Chunyu howled in pain as his hair was almost yanked out by Lin Huai.The th
Ling Huai laughed. Pu Chengji looked absolutely dumbstruck. “Who is she?”“No way, Brother Huai, you don't even know about Fairy Qi? Right, you're new here…” Pu Chengji’s eyes were shining, his breathing became quick. “She's a freshman in the music department. Her real name is Liu Meiqi, but she's known as a Fairy Qi. She's not just beautiful, she’s very good at seducing people. There's at least seven guys chasing after her, but she usually changes who she's dating every other day. She's one of the four freshman princesses. Wei Qimian is one too.”“Four princesses? You guys ridiculous…”Even though it was silly, Lin Huai had to admit that Liu Meiqi had a naturally flirtatious aura. She might not even do it intentionally, but her every move was smooth and seductive. Even he found it hard to resist. These boys in this school didn't stand a chance.Liu Meiqi walked towards them, the entrancing scent of her perfume drifting with her. Liu Meiqi grabbed Lin
Afternoon classes began, and the teacher lectured while the students chatted with each other. Some of them were playing cards; some were doing live broadcasts, and some were gossiping. There were even a few boys with their feet up on the desk smoking cigarettes. Zhang Chunyu returned half an hour into the lecture, taking a nervous glance at Lin Huai before slinking to his seat.Wei Qimian frowned as she looked around the classroom and sighed."Don't you hate trying to study in this environment?" Lin Huai asked."Can you still learn anything like this?" Wei Qimian asked.Lin Huai smiled bitterly. "This classroom is a mess. I can barely hear the teacher. We're lucky we're up front or I couldn't hear him at all.”"Yeah." Wei Qimian sighed. "I doubt the kids in the back row can here anything."Lin Huai glanced around and sneered. "I think most of these guys just go to school to hang out. They don't even consider studying or think about w
Lin Huai jumped down from the wall, Wei Qimian still in his arms, and ran until they reached a busy street."Hey, why are you so quiet? Have you fallen for me?"The people chasing them were nowhere to be seen, but Lin Huai hadn't set Wei Qimian down yet. One arm was wrapped around Wei Qimian's hip, and the other arm was around Wei Qimian's slim waist. She felt so delicate and soft, Lin Huai couldn't help but to hold her tight.Wei Qimian thumped Lin Huai's chest gently."Hey, they didn’t chase us here. Let me down?" she said with a pout.Lin Huai grinned. "What if they attack out of nowhere? I might not have time to pick you up.""You- You're such a scoundrel."Lin Huai's heart was melting."C'mon, set me down." Wei Qimian said playfully."Your foot's hurt. I need to help you with your ankle first." Lin Huai began to carry her towards a hotel. Lin Huai could afford a luxury hotel, but that wouldn't match his current
Pu Chengji was lying at the door of dormitory 101 at this moment. He seemed miserable with his clothes covered with footprints. There was a bloody rip on his forehead, and his face was covered with blood.There were more than a dozen underlings standing around Zhang Chunlei, each holding a weapon in their hand. He stepped on Pu Chengji's face and crushed it hard. He said ruthlessly, "Stupid fatty, let’s see if your bro will come to save you. "Pu Chengji's eyes were so swollen that they couldn't open, and his voice was shaking, "Second Lei ... he ... he's not my bro."Zhang Chunyu kicked Pu Chengji and scolded, "F*ck you, isn’t it you who told Lin Huai?"Pu Chengji stopped talking. Many people around him had witnessed, and he knew it was useless to say anything.Zhang Chunlei cruelly kicked Pu Chengji's face again and smirked, "If Lin Huai doesn't come, I'll kick your head, and then you will be no different from a pig.
Lin Huai crossed his legs while sitting on the chair, looked at Pu Chengji on the hospital bed and smiled. “You said before that you wanted to cut all ties with me, and yet you still got into this state because of me. From now onwards, you’ll surely be branded as “Lin Huai’s brother”. Tell me, how do you feel?”Pu Chengji held onto his pain and smiled. “Brother Huai. From now onwards, I’ll be able to follow you loyally.”Lin Huai asked, “Who is that Xuan Yuzhai?”Lin Huai didn’t care about Zhang Chunyu nor Zhang Chunlei. However, now that he found out about Xuan Yuzhai’s plans towards Xuan Yuzhai, he had to keep an eye out for him.As he mentioned about Xuan Yuzhai, Pu Chengji’s eyes glowed. His tone was filled with excitement. “His father opened up two clothing factories in our Tong City, so his family’s net worth would definitely be around tens of millions. He is also good in basketball, has good grades, and is the prince charmin
After that, they did not talk about any other serious matter. It was basically just Wan Zitao and the beautiful girl teasing each other. After a while, Wan Zitao’s phone rang. After what seemingly sounded like a conversation, he then said, “I have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. Huiyong, I’ll send you home.”Li Huiyong smiled, “Then let’s go. If it’s inconvenient for you, then there’s no need to send me back.”“There’s no problem. After all, your house is quite near here.”The sound of the door opening came out from the room. After that, it was only Li Huiyong and Wan Zitao’s sound. It seemed like Xuan Yuzhai was still in the next room, and hadn’t came out yet.The two had already left, so what is Xuan Yuzhai still doing there for?The tiny listening device was on Li Huiyong’s belt, so he could hear the movements of both Li Huiyong and Wan Zitan. However, it was a different case for Xuan Yuzhai. Lin Huai dec
Wei Qimian looked much more refreshed and beautiful after she came out of the bathroom. She picked up her shoulder bag from the bed, hooked her finger, and smiled, “Let’s go.”Lin Huai smiled and asked, “Has your leg fully recovered?”“Thank god you helped me massage it yesterday. I think that you can already start a massage service store with your skills alone.”"Hehe… Not everyone can enjoy my skills. But if you like it, I can force myself to help you massage in each spot one-by-one.”Wei Qimian glared at him, and Lin Huai immediately turned serious, “I mean I can massage your shoulders, your arms, and your legs. Could it be that you were thinking of something else? Let me tell you, while my massaging techniques can certainly make your chest and hips bigger, but I am a shy handsome boy. I would never do that, so don’t even think about it.”“Pfft, I have never encountered literary and artistic youth like you, acting s
