Chapter 165: Chapter 146: Fantasy is a Kind of Disease

Ye Fan has never liked being threatened.

Previously, Zhang Jianren had threatened Ye Fan once.

At that time, worried that the taxi driver would be settled with after the autumn by Zhang Jianren and his group, Ye Fan ultimately gave up on the idea of teaching Zhang Jianren a lesson, only to find that Zhang Jianren was like an annoying fly that wouldn’t go away.

This gave him the urge to swat Zhang Jianren dead.

Later, before Ye Fan could act on his impulse, the Ford Raptor drove off, Zhang Jianren pulled his head back, and closed the car window.

At the same time, Lu Wen’s Maybach, worth over ten million, passed by Ye Fan, who watched the receding car shadow with a thoughtful expression.

He could tell that the reason Zhang Jianren and his group were so arrogant was entirely because of Lu Wen, a typical case of relying on someone else’s power.

Unlike ordinary wealthy youths, Lu Wen was a martial artist—through the contact just now, Ye Fan sensed that Lu Wen was a Postnatal Perfect Martial Artist, and his strength was somewhat stronger than Lin Ao Feng, who practiced the Evil Technique.

This discovery somewhat surprised Ye Fan—he had always thought that students and true martial artists were two parallel lines that would never intersect.

"Bro, thanks for warning us just now. If it weren’t for your timely reminder, we might have been hit by the taxi."

Shortly after, before Ye Fan could snap out of his thoughts, three students who had avoided the taxi earlier thanks to his warning came over, full of gratitude.

"You’re welcome." Ye Fan came back to his senses and smiled.

"Uh..."

Seeing the smile on Ye Fan’s face, the trio was taken aback!

In their view, Lu Wen and his group were well-known bullies at Dong University, and Ye Fan should have been frightened and anxious after offending Zhang Jianren. How could he still manage to smile?

"Bro, you need to be careful."

"Yes, Lu Wen’s group is notoriously vengeful. Since Zhang Jianren made those threats, he’s likely going to teach you a lesson."

"I advise you to either transfer schools or go apologize to them and ask for forgiveness, otherwise you will probably have endless trouble at school."

After a moment of stunned silence, the three students hesitated for a bit then sequentially started to caution Ye Fan.

"It’s fine, I’m not a student of Dong University." Ye Fan looked unconcerned.

"No wonder you dared to talk back to Zhang Jianren, you’re not a Dong University student; you don’t know them."

"Since you’re not a Dong University student, you don’t need to worry. But just to be safe, you should leave now."

"Yes, it would be troublesome if you run into them again on campus."

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, the three students suddenly realized, then continued to urge Ye Fan to leave quickly, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"I promised a friend that I’d watch her perform, I’ll leave after the performance." Ye Fan smiled and then couldn’t help asking, "Are they very famous?"

"They’re more than famous! They are basically the tyrants of Dong University, beating up anyone they dislike," one male student said, brimming with indignation.

"Oh?" Ye Fan was slightly startled, his curiosity deepened, "Who exactly are they? Surely someone should intervene in their actions."

"Who could intervene? Lu Wen and his group all have very powerful backgrounds, even the school dares not touch them."

"Not only that, but Lu Wen knows martial arts, no one can defeat him."

"I see."

Hearing their words, Ye Fan was also resigned. A Postnatal Perfect Martial Artist with a strong background indeed had the capital to dominate the campus—ordinary people couldn’t compete with influence, and those who could probably wouldn’t offend such a young Postnatal Perfect Martial Artist, choosing instead to befriend or woo them.

Later, Ye Fan chatted for a few moments with the three of them before saying goodbye. Following the campus signs, he walked alone toward Dong hai University’s newly built auditorium.

The auditorium was located behind the football field of Dong hai University, with the library and the indoor gymnasium on either side. It was designed by a famous architect from the European Union, featuring a very unique architectural style, and it is a landmark building of Dong hai University.

When Ye Fan arrived at the auditorium, the entrance was packed with people; students, like waves, surged into the auditorium. On both sides of the entrance, over a hundred student council members wearing red badges tensely maintained order to prevent crowding or stampedes.

Seeing this scene, Ye Fan walked into the crowd and followed the flow slowly into the auditorium.

Since the show had not yet started, the auditorium was brightly lit, as bright as day, filled with heads everywhere.

Perhaps because of his background, looking at everything before him, Ye Fan suddenly felt as though he had come to a strange domain, unsure of which direction to take.

"Hello, the show is about to start, don’t stand here, find the area for your major." Just as Ye Fan felt a sense of disorientation, a member of the student council came over and reminded him.

"Okay."

Ye Fan nodded, looked up, and saw that the auditorium had a three-sided tiered seating structure, divided into four floors, one for each school year, and each floor further divided into many areas, with signs hanging in the air in front of each area indicating the major.

"Which major are you from?" Seeing that Ye Fan still hadn’t moved, the student council member asked somewhat impatiently.

"School of Economics and Business Administration, major in Business Administration."

Hearing the question from the student council member, the majors of Situ Ruoshui and Su Liuli immediately popped into Ye Fan’s mind, and he said, "I’m a freshman."

"Your major is over there." The student council member pointed to the northeast corner of the first floor.

"Thank you."

Ye Fan looked in the direction indicated by the other person and immediately saw the large characters for "Business Management." He thanked the person and then walked over.

About three minutes later, Ye Fan reached the area for the freshmen of the Business Management program, drawing the attention of quite a few students, all of whom looked perplexed.

Their confusion stemmed from the fact that Ye Fan was totally unfamiliar to them; they had never seen him before.

"Hello, student, I’m the advisor for the Business Management program. Are you in the wrong place?"

As the students felt puzzled, a teacher wearing glasses approached Ye Fan and indirectly reminded him. The students might not be familiar with each other yet, but the advisor had already been keeping an eye on students in his program—Ye Fan was definitely not a Business Management student!

"Sorry."

For some reason, hearing the words of the Business Management advisor made Ye Fan feel a bit bitter. He awkwardly smiled, then turned and walked toward a nearby fire exit, his somewhat lonely figure out of place amidst the noisy auditorium.

When Ye Fan reached the door of the fire exit, he noticed his phone vibrating twice in his pocket.

Upon checking his phone, Ye Fan was surprised to find a message from Situ Ruoshui: Big brother, have you arrived?

Seeing the message from Situ Ruoshui, the out-of-place feeling in Ye Fan’s heart lessened slightly. After a moment, he replied, "I’ve already arrived."

Soon, Situ Ruoshui replied: Big brother, the evening’s events are about to start. Find a place to sit first. My performance is the tenth one. Sister Liuli has to stay till the end since she’s the host. She asked me to wait and leave with her. Can you wait for us at the auditorium’s side door later?

"Okay."

As Ye Fan texted his reply, he decided not to look for a seat again, seemingly afraid of being chased away once more.

"Look, over there, so many blue roses."

Shortly after Ye Fan put his phone back into his pocket, a student from the Business Management program suddenly pointed at the third row on the west side of the seats and shouted.

Whoosh!

As soon as the student spoke, everyone around instinctively turned their gaze in that direction.

Ye Fan also glanced over subconsciously.

What?

In just a glance, Ye Fan saw that the people holding the blue roses were none other than Lu Wen and his group, whom he had just encountered at the school entrance.

At the same time, a student with sharp eyes suddenly said, "That seems to be Ruoshui’s boyfriend Lu Wen. It looks like he’s planning to confess his love by giving Ruoshui flowers during tonight’s event."

"I can’t figure out why Ruoshui would choose someone like him as a boyfriend."

"Exactly, it’s like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung."

"That’s right, that Lu Wen struts around the campus all day, just like a street thug."

"Not a thug, he’s literally a bully."

"Keep it down, careful it gets back to them. You wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences!"

For a time, people from the Business Management program started discussing animatedly, a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment on their faces.

Is that guy Ruoshui’s boyfriend?

Hearing the students’ discussion ringing in his ears, Ye Fan was slightly shocked, almost unable to believe that Situ Ruoshui would choose such an arrogant and domineering scion as her boyfriend.

"Brother Wen, it seems like everyone is looking at us."

As Ye Fan felt astonished, at the west side of the third row, Zhang Jianren directed Lu Wen’s other cronies as they placed the fragrant blue roses on several empty seats, then cheekily flattered Lu Wen, "It’s already causing such a sensation now; just wait until Situ Ruoshui takes the stage, it’s going to blow everyone away."

"From what I see, Brother Wen will not only cause a sensation tonight but will also move Situ Ruoshui to tears," Zhang Jianren barely finished speaking when another of Lu Wen’s cronies chimed in with flattery.

"You guys better be quick and not mess this up later."

Lu Wen, relishing the flattery, smiled and gave a reminder. Although the whole school was buzzing with rumors about him being Situ Ruoshui’s boyfriend, Lu Wen knew very well that Situ Ruoshui only treated him as a brother.

In order to make Situ Ruoshui fall in love with him, Lu Wen had recently been racking his brains, thinking of ways to capture her heart.

This afternoon, seeing that Situ Ruoshui had accepted flowers from that nerdy glasses-wearing Wang Di, Lu Wen felt annoyed but also inspired. He immediately led his cronies to the city’s best florist, bought all the blue roses, and had them hauled to the school in a Ford Raptor.

He planned to surprise everyone by giving flowers to Situ Ruoshui during her performance in a way that would make her fall head over heels in love with him!

"Brother Wen, don’t worry, tonight we’re just your backdrop, here to highlight you as the main character," said Zhang Jianren as he continued to flatter. "I believe, Brother Wen, tonight you and Situ Ruoshui will leave a fairytale-like love story behind at Dong University."

"You’re good with words."

Though he said that, the image of Situ Ruoshui throwing herself into his arms in front of the entire audience flashed through Lu Wen’s mind.

For a moment, he felt exhilarated as if he had eaten a Ginsengfruit! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to cast your recommendation ticket and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
