Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The Banquet at Hongmen
"What on earth is this situation?"
"Could it be that the school beauty, Guan, is going to look for him?"
"Don't you guys know? Xu Fan helped Guan Shimeng yesterday."
As Guan Shimeng moved, she almost captured the attention of the entire class. Seeing her approaching him, everyone's gaze shifted onto them, and Xu Fan couldn't help but tease her with a laugh, "What's up, kiddo? Missed me so much after just two classes?"
"You!"
Guan Shimeng's cheeks reddened, her cheeks puffed out as she gave Xu Fan a sideways glare.
This guy, despite being punished to stand for so long, still had the nerve to flirt!
For Guan Shimeng, approaching Xu Fan in front of everyone was already a huge act of courage. Now, being teased by him, she frowned and huffed, "Xu Fan, I'm going to get your textbooks now. You just stay put in the classroom and don't wander around, you hear?"
"Hehe, okay, thanks for that."
Xu Fan was completely clueless about where to pick up the textbooks, but with Guan Shimeng helping him, it also saved him a lot of trouble.
After Guan Shimeng left, Xu Fan realized that nearly all his classmates were staring at him with gobsmacked expressions.
Xu Fan frowned and turned to Chen Dongdong beside him, asking, "What's going on? Why are you all looking at me like you're so impressed?"
Chen Dongdong gave an innocent smile, then gave Xu Fan a thumbs-up, saying, "Boss, you're really something! First day of school and you've already won over the top beauty, Guan!"
"Nonsense!"
Xu Fan rolled his eyes and said, "What nonsense, she was the one who chased me."
"Cough, cough!"
Chen Dongdong thought his boss was trying to explain timidly, but apparently, his boss was shameless beyond expectation.
Just then, in the classroom, a muscle-bound guy gave a few students a signal and led them swaggering towards Xu Fan.
"You're Xu Fan?"
The muscle-bound guy slammed his hand down on Xu Fan's desk, towering over him with a look of arrogance.
This guy obviously spelled trouble. Xu Fan leaned back in his chair and lazily smirked, "What's up, calling for daddy?"
"Son of a bitch!"
As soon as Xu Fan spoke, he gained an advantage, causing the muscle-bound guy to angrily flip Xu Fan's desk!
With a loud bang, the desk hit the floor! Frightened, the classmates quickly dodged to the sides, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire!
The muscle-bound guy pointed at Xu Fan and demanded, "Yesterday, did you beat up Chen Sheng and his guys?"
"Chen Sheng?"
Xu Fan frowned and recalled, then scoffed, "If you mean those flies from yesterday who tried to block me from asking directions, then yeah, sure."
"Humph, you dare to admit it?"
The muscle-bound guy snorted, pointed at Xu Fan, and sneered, "Xu Fan, man up and meet me in the restroom later! If you don't show up, you'll face the consequences!"
After saying that, the muscle-bound guy led his group out of the classroom, while the watching students timidly looked on; he kept threatening, "What are you staring at? Never seen me bully someone before?"
"Anyone who dares tell the teachers about this, I, Shi Yong, will make sure they pay!"
It took a while for Shi Yong and his gang to leave the classroom, and only then did the trembling classmates regain their seats. They had initially wanted to get to know Xu Fan better, but now they all kept their distance, fearful of getting involved.
Chen Dongdong was the only one still by Xu Fan's side, and he fearfully tugged at Xu Fan, saying, "Boss, you mustn't go! This is a trap!"
"A trap?"
Xu Fan blinked and said, "Are they going to the bathroom to eat poop now?"
"Ouch! That's not what I meant!"
Chen Dongdong felt like crying, Boss, how can you still joke at a time like this!
He explained, "Boss, Shi Yong is not easy to mess with. He's our class leader, and, and his brother Shi Lei is the senior leader of our grade. Chen Sheng is his buddy. You hit Chen Sheng, and now he's calling you to the bathroom to beat you up!"
The two common places for fights at school are the rooftop and the bathrooms, where teachers won't find out. Shi Yong inviting Xu Fan to the bathroom clearly meant his buddies were waiting there for him.
Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled, asking, "Chen Dongdong, now I really need to pee, what should I do?"
"Oh man! Boss, you gotta hold it!"
Chen Dongdong didn't have many friends, and he really liked Xu Fan. He wanted to persuade Xu Fan not to show off, but Xu Fan had already stood up. Seeing this, Chen Dongdong stomped his feet anxiously, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly followed him!
"What? You're not afraid of getting beaten up later?"
Chen Dongdong, looking timid, was following right beside him; Xu Fan grinned and teased him.
Chen Dongdong gritted his teeth and cursed as if he was throwing caution to the wind, "Damn it! Can't live like this! I've endured Shi Yong for too long! Since you, Boss, aren't afraid, then I, Chen Dongdong, will join you!"
...
Under Chen Dongdong's lead, soon, the two of them entered the men's bathroom.
Seven or eight students in school uniforms were in the bathroom, each with a cigarette in their mouth, looking totally ruffian!
Seeing Xu Fan walk in, Shi Yong waved his hand, and instantly his gang surrounded Xu Fan and Chen Dongdong.
"Yo? Chen Fatso, who would have thought? You actually have loyalty? You even dare to follow this piece of **** to the bathroom?"
Shi Yong, smoking a cigarette and squinting, mockingly said to Chen Dongdong who, upon hearing this, puffed up his chest and yelled, "Don't call me fatso! Shi Yong! I'm not afraid of you! If you dare touch my boss today, I'll fight you!"
"Pfft, you piece of ****!"
Shi Yong spat, completely disregarding Chen Dongdong, and said to Chen Sheng beside him, "Chen Sheng, I brought this runt to you, tell me, how do you want to teach him a lesson?"
Chen Sheng adjusted his glasses and hummed, gestured for his minions to step aside, then coldly smiled as he walked towards Xu Fan.
"Hmph, kid, you dare compete with me for Guan Shimeng? You even dared to hit me? Do you know who I am?"
"I'm richer than you! I have more power than you! And you dare touch me in Zijing Middle School? I'm going to make you pay today!"
With the numbers on his side, Chen Sheng's arrogance reached its peak, and after shouting, he reached out and slapped Xu Fan's face!
Just as the slap was about to hit, Xu Fan snorted coldly, his hand shot out like lightning, directly catching Chen Sheng's wrist!
With a twist! There was a snap, and Chen Sheng's wrist broke! He sweated profusely from the pain, his legs went soft, and he directly kneeled in front of Xu Fan!
Immediately following, the group of students surrounding Xu Fan started to attack! Xu Fan quickly ducked low to avoid their punches, then delivered a sweeping kick!
These guys were all show and no substance, unable to withstand Xu Fan's devastating sweep.
In no time, they all fell to the ground!
Wham, wham, wham! Xu Fan delivered a few more kicks! Several poor guys got kicked so hard they head-planted into the urinals, ending up soaked in stench!
The few remaining on the ground quickly lost their ability to fight under Chen Dongdong's finishing moves!
In less than a minute, the dust had settled! Shi Yong, who had been watching the show with a smug smile, suddenly had his expression freeze...
With a click, the cigarette in his mouth dropped as a look of fear appeared on Shi Yong's face.
This guy is terrifying!
