Chapter 169: Chapter 150 【Enemies on a Narrow Road】

At 10:30 PM, the annual welcome party at Dong Hai University ended. The main lights in the auditorium came on, and the host and students who had performed gathered on stage to take a group photo with the university leaders. The audience members stood up one by one and, under the direction of the Student Union members, left the venue in an orderly manner.

In the auditorium, Ye Fan followed the crowd out at a leisurely pace, unremarkable, but surrounded by conversations about him.

"Who do you think is the ’big brother’ that Ruoshui Goddess mentioned?"

"Do you even need to ask? It’s definitely someone she likes!"

"I obviously know it’s someone she likes, but what’s his name? What major is he from?"

"Only Heaven, Earth, and the Ruoshui Goddess herself know that."

"I’m so envious and jealous of that guy, actually being able to win the Ruoshui Goddess’s heart."

...

Under the lights, the students chattered away, their faces inevitably showing expressions of envy and jealousy—they were die-hard fans of Situ Ruoshui, dreaming of being with her.

Hearing the discussions of the students around him, Ye Fan couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself. He’d never dreamed that coming to watch Situ Ruoshui’s performance would turn him into a celebrity at Dong University.

"Envious and jealous my ass, don’t forget about Lu Wen."

"What about Lu Wen?"

"Are you stupid? Since the Ruoshui Goddess enrolled, Lu Wen has secretly taught a lesson to or scared off no fewer than a hundred guys, right? He made a fool of himself at Mars tonight. With his temperament, he’s probably going to take out all his rage on the ’big brother’ that Ruoshui Goddess mentioned."

"Well, that’s true. That guy is most likely going to leave Dong University lying down."

At this point, the looks of envy and jealousy on the faces of the Situ Ruoshui fans disappeared without a trace, replaced by indignation at Lu Wen’s domineering and bullyish behavior.

Listening to the students’ discussions and seeing their indignant yet helpless demeanor, Ye Fan passed by them quietly, intending to leave the auditorium as quickly as possible and head to the side entrance of the auditorium, following the plan he had agreed upon with Situ Ruoshui.

The reason for this was that those few students’ words had reminded him, and he was concerned that Lu Wen, not admitting defeat until he reached the Yellow River, might go looking for trouble with Situ Ruoshui.

At the same time, in the backstage of the auditorium.

After all the students who had performed, including Situ Ruoshui and Su Liuli, finished taking a group photo with the university leaders, they separated by gender and changed clothes in their respective dressing rooms.

"Ruoshui, will your ’big brother’ show up?"

Inside the women’s dressing room, two girls looked at Situ Ruoshui with envy, unable to resist asking while gazing at the two peaks protruding from her white hollowed-out bras.

"He will."

Situ Ruoshui answered softly and then turned to Su Liuli, "Sister Liuli, shall we go to the City God Temple for snacks with ’big brother’ later?"

"Okay."

Su Liuli hesitated for a moment but agreed, her expression not as full of anticipation as Situ Ruoshui’s. On the contrary, it was complex, as if deep down she didn’t really want to go.

Five minutes later, without waiting for Situ Ruoshui and Su Liuli to finish changing, the students who had already changed clothes surrounded them, chirping and guessing what Ruoshui’s ’big brother’ would be like—some speculated he was a tall, rich, and handsome man, others guessed a Frog Prince, and still, others thought he might be a beautiful young man from a romance drama.

As the conversations of the crowd around her reached her ears, Situ Ruoshui’s heartbeat inexplicably sped up, her cheeks reddening even more prominently, as if they were about to drip water.

Soon, urged by the other girls, Situ Ruoshui changed her clothes, took Su Liuli by the arm, and led the other girls out of the dressing room.

Outside the dressing room, a number of boys who had changed early had been waiting for a while. Seeing Situ Ruoshui come out with a group of girls, one of them approached and said, "Situ Ruoshui, I just stepped out to check—Lu Wen is out there with Zhang Jianren."

"That Lu Wen is really shameless."

"Yeah, even after Ruoshui rejected him, he’s still shamelessly clinging to her."

"Clinging is one thing, but Ruoshui, you better call your ’big brother’ quickly and tell him not to show up. Otherwise, Lu Wen will definitely not let him off easy!"

Hearing that Lu Wen was waiting outside with people, the girls were indignant on behalf of Situ Ruoshui, and a few urged her to take action.

"Don’t worry. If Lu Wen dares to do anything to Ruoshui’s ’big brother,’ he will definitely regret it deeply!"

Seeing that Situ Ruoshui was getting very upset by what everyone was saying, with her face turning pale, Su Liuli smiled and spoke up. Then, with a wink at Situ Ruoshui and an embrace of her arm, she said, "Ruoshui, let’s go."

"Okay."

Hearing Su Liuli’s words and seeing her suggestive gesture, Situ Ruoshui immediately understood what was implied and nodded, following Su Liuli to walk towards the exit first.

"Uh..."

At the same time, the students behind them, both male and female, were shocked by Su Liuli’s words—they learned from her that the ’big brother’ Situ Ruoshui talked about was not someone Lu Wen could afford to provoke. But for the life of them, they couldn’t think of anyone at Dong University influential enough to be able to do that!

In their awe and curiosity, they were even more intrigued by the ’big brother’ that Situ Ruoshui mentioned, and they immediately followed the pace of Situ Ruoshui and Su Liuli.

Soon, Situ Ruoshui, leading the students who had performed, emerged from the auditorium’s side door and, just as the boy had said, saw Lu Wen with Zhang Jianren and four other followers, waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Lu Wen, Situ Ruoshui’s face turned very grim, but her gaze didn’t linger on him for long. Instead, it shifted away quickly, scanning the surroundings.

There were no shortage of students outside the side entrance of the auditorium, mostly there to take the opportunity to confess their feelings, along with a minority waiting to pick up their significant others. Situ Ruoshui’s gaze quickly swept over those people, searching for Ye Fan.

One by one, two by two, three by three...

"Ruoshui!"

Watching Situ Ruoshui treating him as if he were thin air, the rage that Lu Wen had barely contained flared up as if doused in oil, surging uncontrollably as he couldn’t help but shout at Situ Ruoshui and strode towards her.

Without an answer, without regard, Situ Ruoshui was still looking for Ye Fan.

At last, she found him.

She saw Ye Fan, dressed in a tracksuit, slowly descending the stairs.

This discovery made her charming pupils dilate, and a flush of excitement surged onto her rosy face.

The next moment.

She couldn’t contain herself and started running.

Huh?

Seeing Situ Ruoshui running towards him, Lu Wen subconsciously stopped in his tracks, his heart leaping with joy: Could it be... could it be that Ruoshui is too shy to accept my confession in public?

Passing by without a second glance.

That was the answer Situ Ruoshui gave!

"Big Brother!"

In Lu Wen’s face, mixed with a hint of smugness and confusion, Situ Ruoshui passed by him as if he were nothing, calling out with joy, running towards that towering figure in her heart.

Her long hair fluttered, her skirt flew.

Under the curtain of night, Situ Ruoshui ran with urgency.

It felt as though she feared Ye Fan would suddenly vanish into thin air.

Whoosh!

Meanwhile, Lu Wen’s face morphed wildly as if he had plummeted from Heaven straight into Hell.

And led by Su Liuli, those students participating in the performance turned their gaze towards the direction in which Situ Ruoshui dashed and clearly saw Ye Fan.

Under the night, Ye Fan, with a buzz cut and dressed in a gray tracksuit, stopped in front of the stairs, smiling as he watched Situ Ruoshui running towards him.

Not only the students in the performance but also those around, including Zhang Jianren and the other three lackeys of Lu Wen, all cast their eyes on Ye Fan.

"Uh..."

When they saw Ye Fan’s face, familiar yet not entirely unknown, Zhang Jianren and the others stared wide-eyed in disbelief as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight—could it be that the ’Big Brother’ Situ Ruoshui mentioned was him?

While Zhang Jianren and his friends were stunned beyond all measure, Lu Wen turned his head furiously, his gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping towards Ye Fan.

In the spark of an electric flint, he saw Ye Fan’s face, not particularly handsome but with distinct features, and the chance meeting from the afternoon also surfaced in his mind.

In an instant, his face also revealed a trace of astonishment!

Because he could never dream that he would lose to a nobody wearing cheap sportswear and catching a taxi!

Don’t believe it?

Shortly after, under everyone’s eyes, Situ Ruoshui, whether out of excessive excitement or unable to stop her rapid momentum, crashed into Ye Fan’s arms.

As she nestled into his embrace, her supple body pressed against him, Ye Fan tensed up, and his hands froze in mid-air, uncertain whether to hold Situ Ruoshui or not.

"Sorry... sorry, Big Brother, I ran too fast," Situ Ruoshui quickly separated from Ye Fan, hanging her head, blushing, with a shy and embarrassed tongue.

"Country bumpkin, I was just worrying about where to find you, but you showed up so soon—It’s like an easy task after a fruitless search!"

As Situ Ruoshui’s voice fell, before Ye Fan could say anything, Lu Wen, along with the three companions beside him, came towards Ye Fan with a sneer, their menacing looks seemingly telling everyone that he was going to make Ye Fan regret his actions!

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Because of his reliance on others for support, Zhang Jianren with his average background practically strutted around Dong hai University—as since he had become Lu Wen’s number one lackey, no student from Dong University dared to disrespect him!

Never!

When Ye Fan had spoken up to stop Zhang Jianren from bullying the taxi driver in the afternoon, Zhang Jianren was already annoyed.

At that time, if not for the worry of affecting Lu Wen’s flower offering to Situ Ruoshui, he would’ve taught Ye Fan a lesson right then and there.

Now, not only had they run into Ye Fan again, but he had also realized that Ye Fan was the very reason behind Lu Wen’s humiliating incident tonight, which turned him into a laughingstock of Dong University!

Under such circumstances, he felt if he didn’t do something to Ye Fan, he would have no face left at Dong hai University!
