Chapter 111: Chronicles of Qingshui High (Part 1)
By the end of the third period, the blissful boy smugly arrived at the school entrance as he hummed and danced along to the tune of Gangnam Style.
This guy was obviously waiting for a beautiful girl to appear at the entrance!
The blissful boy is obviously overwhelmed with bliss. Within two short periods in school, two beautiful girls had come to school and asked him for directions and both were looking for “Grade 12 Class 6”.
Thus, he awaited the third time with a heart full of hope. He believed that miracles do happen.
However, he forgot about the saying ‘When things reach an extreme, they can only be reversed’.
Indeed, someone showed up at the entrance. Unfortunately, instead of a beautiful girl, he was greeted by more than 30 vicious-looking teenagers!
All 30 of them were dressed in black suits with baseball bats in their hands as they marched towards the entrance of Qingshui High. The pedestrians quivered in fear at the sight of their domineering grandeur!
The blissful boy was no longer blissful as he no longer bothered with his Gangnam Style dance before turning around and making a run for it.
“Kid, freeze!”
Out of the 30 teenagers, the frontmost tall guy yelled at him, putting the fear of God into him as he no longer dared to move an inch.
The blissful boy looked at the guy who had yelled at him and noticed that something seemed odd about him. Not only was his head heavily bandaged, his right arm was also in a cast and a sling was secured around his neck.
“B…b…b…b…brother, you’re calling me?” The blissful boy nearly pissed himself as he wondered why he had such bad luck.
“Let me ask you something! Are there people called Tang Meng and Ling Yun in this school?”
Obviously, the one speaking was Tu Gang from Jiangnan School of Engineering!
Tu Gang had celebrated his birthday last Saturday. As he partied along with his best mates in the Savant’s Restaurant, he had boasted about how he was one of Brother Kun’s underlings. He definitely had not expected Ling Yun and Tang Meng to assault and beat him up in the midst of all his fun!
Not only had he fractured his right wrist and injured his head, they also extorted 2000 dollars from him. How could he possibly tolerate such humiliation?
In the midst of the fight, he remembered Ling Yun and Tang Meng’s names through their conversations and he called Brother Kun right after the fight, asking for their details to find them. It was not until now that he brought 30 guys along with him to exact his revenge.
The blissful boy was in a daze. Not only were there beautiful girls coming to Grade 12 Class 6 looking for Ling Yun, even gang members were here for him.
Gosh, what a crowd. If a fight really breaks out, Grade 12 Class 6 probably won’t be able to handle it!
“I’m asking you something, did you hear me?”
Tu Gang reached his uninjured left arm out and lifted the blissful boy up by his collars effortlessly.
“I know, I know. The Ling Yun you’re looking for is from Grade 12 Class 6. You…you should put me down… I’ll bring you to him right away…”
…
The handsome and bratty Li Qingchuan had already arrived at the entrance of Xue Meining’s classroom. With all the heart-eyed and boy-crazy Grade 10 and 11 girls surrounding Li Qingchuan as they sneaked glances at him, it was similar to the scene when Lin Menghan had arrived at Grade 12 Class 6.
Tang Meng pondered to himself. Brother Chuan really is capable. He deserves the title of ‘Number 1 rich kid of Qingshui City’. This is truly unbelievable…
What truly was astounding about Li Qingchuan was not his ability to attract all these young teenage girls, but, in fact, his ability to remain calm and collected even when he was under public scrutiny. It was so charming! It might even be comparable to how unbothered and shameless Ling Yun was when he only cared about his personal gains!
Li Qingchuan patted the seemingly nonexistent dust off his shirt as he smiled before stepping into Xue Meining’s classroom.
“Little Ning…”
Xue Meining was just sitting in the classroom by herself while being angry at Ling Yun. I just gave you those red roses yesterday and now you have these many girls looking for you?!
Xue Meining couldn’t figure out where all these beautiful girls popped up from. Moreover, they were all…pretty decent looking!
Xue Meining had not managed to catch a glimpse of Lin Menghan, but she had gotten to see Murong Feixue. Even though she could not deny the fact that she was pretty, she would never admit it, not even to herself.
Hmph, the most infuriating one is still the girl driving the Maserati. How dare she drag him out along with her? Who does she think she is? To disrespect Xue Meining like that!
What she was unaware of was the fact that there was someone more depressed and miserable than her today. That person was obviously the campus belle, Cao Shanshan, who had been humiliated right after boasting in front of everyone.
Xue Meining was pondering about what she could say in the afternoon to get Ling Yun to spill the beans when she heard a familiar voice at the door.
Xue Meining was in a daze as she lifted her head abruptly.
Li Qingchuan? Why is he here?
Xue Meining knew that Li Qingchuan would definitely show up for her birthday, but her birthday was still more than a week away. Why was he here early?
Little Demon Girl had completely forgotten that ever since she had managed to get those nice cell phone numbers for Ling Yun, hers became one that ended in six 9s instead.
“B… Big Brother Qingchuan…” Xue Meining bit her lips as she stood up even though she was still a little angry. Why had he not given her a call beforehand to give her a heads-up?
Even though she called him by his full name over the phone in a fierce tone, she still politely addressed him as Big Brother Qingchuan when she came face to face with him.
The reason for this was not worth sharing with everyone. Firstly, Xue Meining did indeed have good manners, which was observable from the time she visited Ling Yun’s house as she had exhibited ladylike manners. The other reason was that Li Qingchuan had been so nice to Xue Meining ever since he had gotten to know her!
Putting the whole love thing aside, Li Qingchuan’s care and concern for Xue Meining surpassed how a brother would treat his own sister. Hence, Xue Meining still had to call him ‘Big Brother Qingchuan’.
Li Qingchuan flashed a smile as he waved at her while standing at the door.
Truly mesmerizing. That carefree action drove the girls surrounding him absolutely insane as waves of screams erupted from the crowd!
Xue Meining furrowed her eyebrows as she stomped her feet and pouted. She quickly left her seat and dashed towards the classroom door.
Li Qingchuan reached his hand towards her instinctively, wanting to hold her hand.
Xue Meining carefully retracted her hand behind her back before saying, “Big Brother Qingchuan, I really do have a boyfriend.”
“I don’t believe you!” Li Qingchuan scratched his head as he continued beaming with joy while bantering with Xue Meining.
“It’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Tang Meng…” Xue Meining noticed that Tang Meng was at the door.
She also did not forget to glare at Tang Meng, making him look away in fear. But no matter where he looked, all he saw is the jealousy and hatred in the eyes of the Grade 10 and 11 girls. Thus, he could only look down at his feet.
Li Qingchuan was still at ease despite the fact that he was surrounded by countless of girls, but the little tyrant was incapable of enjoying the crowd.
“I’ve asked Tang Meng. He said you don’t have a boyfriend, that you were just playing a prank on me…” Li Qingchuan sold Tang Meng out with just one simple statement!
It has begun! Tang Meng shuddered and wished he could let out a long sigh as he thought to himself, How did I manage to get myself into trouble when I didn’t even do anything!
“Hmph. I don’t believe you. If Tang Meng really did tell you that I was lying, why did you travel here all the way from Beijing?”
Xue Meining rolled her big bright eyes, not buying into Li Qingchuan’s trickery at all.
“I came down because I missed you. Look, the moment I got here, I didn’t even go home. I came to look for you first, didn’t I? What do you want to have for lunch? Do you want to eat lobster or abalone? I’ll call up a restaurant to make a reservation right now.”
Li Qingchuan smiled. Undeniably, the reason this fella had been able to steal the spotlight in Qingshui High for three consecutive years was not merely because of his dashing good looks.
Xue Meining’s pale and slender hands fidgeted endlessly behind her back as she bit her lips and slipped into deep thought. Finally, she said, “I really do have a boyfriend. If you don’t believe me, I can bring you to meet him right now, alright?”
This was the exact reply that Li Qingchuan was waiting for. A hint of glee flashed across his eyes. He replied calmly, “Alright, if Little Ning really has a boyfriend, then I’ll treat him to a feast later this afternoon!”
Li Qingchuan placed a lot of emphasis on the words ‘treat him to a feast’. Only Tang Meng, who had spent his entire childhood growing up together with him, knew that there was an underlying meaning to his words.
“Alright, let’s go!” Since Li Qingchuan had said so, Xue Meining lifted her V-shaped chin before leading the way.
All her classmates who had a crush on her immediately had their hearts broken at that moment and could only give up on all hopes from then onwards.
Initially, they had not dared to make their feelings known due to their fear of Tang Meng, but they still secretly had a crush on their classmate, who had the potential of being a campus belle. However, all their hopes were crushed and they were completely devastated after they saw Li Qingchuan by the door and heard Xue Meining admit that she had a boyfriend.
Even if whatever she said was a lie and she did not have a boyfriend, the only fellow who had a chance was probably the guy by the door who was even more handsome than a celebrity. They knew that they would never stand a chance.
Because they only had 10 minutes of break time between classes, Xue Meining and the rest had to move quickly while the Grade 10 and 11 girls who wanted to feast their eyes on Li Qingchuan followed behind.
Obviously, the bunch stirred up quite a commotion when they crossed from one block to another and everyone knew that something interesting was going on. Thus, everyone quickly rushed out of their classrooms and joined in as the crowd continued to move.
Even though Li Qingchuan looked calm and collected, he was actually boiling on the inside!
He had already decided that no matter who Xue Meining’s boyfriend was, he would exert his dominance and show him who was boss!
Ling Yun was leaning on the corridor railing then as he waited for Tang Meng to drive his car back when he noticed Xue Meining marching towards his classroom with her long and slender legs!
On her left was an unbelievably handsome young man and on her right was, surprisingly, a sighing Tang Meng!
And behind them was an army of nearly 60 shrieking teenage girls!
“What is going on?” Ling Yun looked on with interest as he shook his head and laughed.
