Chapter 142: Protecting Fei Chuan

This comment was followed by others providing details of their encounters with Fei Chuan.

[I want to apologize to him because I vandalized his locker before. I was sincere at that time, so I sent him letters and even apologized personally. But do you know what that guy did? He threw the letters away without even reading them. And when I gave an apology in person, he gave me a cold look and said to write on my own locker: ’I am a coward fool and stupid,’ only then would he consider my apology. Is he serious? Does he think I killed his dog or something?]

[That guy’s stare was creepy as hell. His mind must have a lot of malicious thoughts in it.]

[He must be behind deleting the previous post as well. We should put it again so everyone would see what kind of person he is!]

In just a few hours, the school forum was on the verge of exploding because of Fei Chuan.

****

Nestled in the heart of City A was a luxurious pool hall accessible only to members of an exclusive high-end club. It pulsated as a hub for the city’s young and vibrant crowd.

Even in the middle of the day, the place was packed with groups of stylishly dressed university students. They huddled around sleek pool tables, engaging in friendly banter and intense pool games.

"Young Master Fei, I heard from my younger brother that your youngest is attending his school. I thought the Fifth Young Master is somewhere in the countryside. When did he return to the Capital?"

At the center, the young man addressed as Young Master Fei paused. The smile on his face turned cold. "Where did you hear that?"

The inquiring young man seemed oblivious to Young Master Fei’s icy demeanor. He bravely showed his phone. "My brother sent me a screenshot of the post. Is this the Fifth Young Master? He is very different from the kid I remembered."

The man snatched the phone and read the post in the screenshot. There was a photo of Fei Chuan at the bottom.

After finishing the post, he laughed. "So the bastard is famous at the school. I didn’t know." And he was famous for the wrong reasons.

This revelation delighted him.

"Send me this. I’ll show this to my cousins. They’ll love it." Then he paused, "Ah. How about I show it to Mom and Dad as well? This will be a good present. Who knows, it might also attract Grandpa’s attention." The young man laughed at the thought of that bastard being shamed in the family again.

That would be satisfying.

....

In the end, Bei Sangyun and Fei Chuan did not attend classes after the break. They spent most of their time peeling shrimp, enjoying desserts, drinking, and then indulging in more food.

Rubbing her full stomach, a wide smile played on Bei Sangyun’s lips. She was visibly happy. How could she not be?

While peeling shrimp, she slyly switched her plate with Fei Chuan’s. He noticed it but didn’t comment. Bei Sangyun savored the full plate of shrimp. Later, she played different tricks to gain Fei Chuan’s ’blessings.’ After Fei Chuan took a bite of a certain dish, she would swiftly snatch it and replace it with a new one.

Fei Chuan was left speechless, unable to do anything about it. They continued eating like that- Fei Chuan would take the first bite while Bei Sangyun would snatch it and eat the rest, while replacing the food in front of Fei Chuan with new ones.

When dessert arrived, she even grabbed his spoon and handed him a new one.

Fei Chuan complained, not allowing her to use his spoon. After some banter, Bei Sangyun managed to win his dessert and swapped it with the untouched ones. Fei Chuan watched dumbfoundedly as Bei Sangyun ate the dessert he had just eaten.

Fei Chuan stopped pondering about her strange actions and continued eating. He admitted that with Bei Sangyun’s exaggerated expressions, as if she hadn’t tasted anything good for years, his appetite increased as well. He managed to eat more than usual.

Thus, the two spent a few hours simply enjoying their meal. Afterwards, they decided to walk for a while to digest their food.

They silently strolled while observing the falling leaves. The two must have gotten used to walking together, they tacitly remained silent as they enjoyed the cold breeze and appreciate the nature around them. The two would have walked to school if the weather weren’t too cold.

Bei Sangyun felt very satisfied. She and Fei Chuan had not quarreled today, aside from some playful banter. She was actually able to peacefully coexist with him.

When they arrived at school, Fei Chuan mentioned he still had something to do and wouldn’t attend the rest of the classes. Bei Sangyun also didn’t want to sit beside Richard or return to her classroom without Fei Chuan. So, she went to her locker and prepared to leave.

Just as she arrived at the locker area, she found one of her lackeys waiting for her.

"Boss! You’re finally here!" The lackey looked behind her, "The second boss is not with you?"

"The second boss?" Bei Sangyun asked with a raised eyebrow.

"A-ah...I-I mean, the targ-- Fei Chuan. He has been looking for you earlier, so I thought you went out with him."

"We indeed went out to eat. Why are you looking for us?"

The lackey took a deep breath, "Boss, please don’t let the second - I mean Fei Chuan - open the school forum. Something crazy is happening there!"

Bei Sangyun frowned. They had just deleted the post that was made this morning. Was something posted again?

"Hand me your phone. Mine is dead."

The lackey obediently gave her the phone. Bei Sangyun saw the recent posts. There were three new posts trending and spreading like wildfire, and they were all about Fei Chuan.

[Fei Chuan, the trash of the Fei family.]

[The target, Fei Chuan, nasty personality.]

[Throw Fei Chuan out!]

Bei Sangyun squinted her eyes. They had only disappeared for a few hours, but the whole school was raging mad as if Fei Chuan had murdered their parents.

Bei Sangyun’s expression darkened as she read the comments that were spreading fire among the students.

Even though there were a lot of scumbags in this school, there was no way these curses and hateful comments were made by the students here. Everyone knew that Fei Chuan was under her tutelage. They would hold back their words and make sure she wasn’t mentioned.

But the comments were fearless and too offending. These could only be the work of that hacker.

These things won’t end until she found that hacker.

"Hah. Richard, you are really pushing it," Bei Sangyun said coldly.

She handed the phone back to the lackey. "Delete this post and post a new one. Tell them that whoever dares to mention Fei Chuan’s name in again in the forum will have to answer to me. I will find them one by one."

She went to Fei Chuan’s locker area. His locker, which had been clean these past few weeks, was now vandalized.

’Trash’

’Coward’

’Selfish Bastard’

’Cocky’

And so on.

Bei Sangyun gritted her teeth. Fei Chuan had just come here earlier. He must have seen this.

"And call some people to clean this too." Bei Sangyun looked around to check the CCTV, but the cameras were all off.

"Also, install some CCTV around here. And in every front door of the men’s bathroom too."

With her eyes scanning the surroundings, she dared anyone to make a move against Fei Chuan.
