Chapter 41: Chapter 39 [Break]

Chapter 39 [Collapse]

The moment Chen Nuo was embraced by the long-legged Firefly girl, he was completely stunned.

Damn it, where did those long legs come from?!!

Did my cool departure, leaving without a trace, just fall apart like that?

A second can feel like an eternity, yet it all happened in a flash.

School Belle Sun’s face had turned deathly pale.

The long-legged Firefly girl in his arms was about to bury her head into his chest.

Is this the legendary... Shura Field?

...Well, the main issue wasn’t the complicated relationships between the girls.

Chen Nuo was innocent and upright. He wasn’t lusting after anyone’s body. He lived his life openly and honestly... What... was there to be afraid of?

What he truly feared was that his relationship with the Firefly girl was too special, too scandalous to be exposed. _{f|ree(w)ebn\o.vel.com}

In that brief second, eighteen different thoughts raced through Chen Nuo’s mind: How do I get out of this?

His gaze fell on the Firefly girl.

Maybe... I could say, "Miss, you might not believe this, but I actually have an identical twin brother..."

Do you think she’d believe that?

Or... should I shout "Help!" to School Belle Sun and claim harassment?

No, that would be an insult to everyone’s intelligence, wouldn’t it?

His eyes then landed on the few guys in front of him, particularly Zhang Linsheng in the middle...

Alright then, it’s you.

Bro, sorry about this.

In that seemingly endless second, Chen Nuo had fortified his resolve.

Suddenly, Chen Nuo shook his body. With a secret surge of force, he pushed away the Firefly girl clinging to his waist. Then, he quickly raised his hand, pointed at Zhang Linsheng, and, his face filled with righteous indignation, bellowed, "So what if you’re a senior! Does being a senior give you the right to bully people? Does it mean you can be a gangster? You think I’m scared of gangsters?!"

Before his words faded, Chen Nuo had already charged towards Zhang Linsheng with swift strides.

Zhang Linsheng was dumbfounded!

What the hell? Dude, you’re already in this mess...

...How did I suddenly get a part in this drama???

Chen Nuo rushed in front of Zhang Linsheng, bent down, hefted him up in his arms, and stood up...

"Up you go!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they saw Chen Nuo hoist Zhang Linsheng over his shoulder like a sack of rice! And then, he took off running towards the school gate with Zhang Linshan on his shoulder!

Everyone: "..."

Before anyone could react, Chen Nuo had already run twenty meters with Zhang Linsheng!!

WHAT THE HELL?!

Everyone was stunned.

What the hell kind of maneuver was that??

The Firefly girl was the first to react. She screamed and started chasing after him.

School Belle Sun was initially frozen, but when she saw the other girl chasing, for some reason, she also ran after them.

The others, particularly the knockoff Tongluo Bay guys...

"Wait... Didn’t he just carry our boss away?"

"...Looked like it to me."

"What’s going on..."

One of them, still clear-headed, cursed, "Are you guys stupid? Chase him!! He kidnapped our boss!!"

With a WHOOSH, they all gave chase.

Luo Qing stood rooted to the spot, taking a long moment to process the situation.

Damn... Can you even play it like that?

Two girls fighting over one guy, and then that guy grabs another guy and runs off?

Who even does that?

·

Principal Fang and the other school leaders had just rushed down from the second floor when they were confronted by the sight:

A spirited young man, carrying another spirited young man, was bolting towards the school exit.

Before the leaders could react, a long-legged girl sprinted past them like a gazelle.

They were stunned once more.

WHOOSH! Another girl ran past!

Stunned again... No, they couldn’t afford to be stunned this time!

A few rough-looking lads in No. 8 Middle School uniforms, wielding sticks and chains, came tearing after them, whooping and hollering for blood.

When Principal Fang saw this, he was so frightened his soul nearly left his body, his eyes seeing stars!!

Right beside him were the director of the Education Bureau and international business representatives!

These bastards! They’re trying to ruin me!

Only four words hammered into his mind: MY! CAREER! IS! RUINED!

In a towering rage, Principal Fang stood blocking their path and bellowed, "Are you courting death?! What do you think you’re doing?!"

Several teachers and leaders rushed over and stopped the knockoff Tongluo Bay gang.

The middle-aged man accompanying the Firefly girl was the most formidable; he grabbed one of the troublemakers and executed a powerful takedown, slamming him to the ground.

"All of you, drop your weapons!!"

Principal Fang trembled with rage.

·

Li Yingwan ran out of the school gate, taking the small path to the east. After turning two corners, Chen Nuo was nowhere in sight.

The long-legged girl stopped abruptly, distraught. Just as anxiety began to set in, a hand reached out from behind, clamped over her mouth, and pulled her backward...

Half a minute later, School Belle Sun arrived, gasping for air. Seeing no sign of the person ahead on the road, her eyes brimmed with tears, and she shouted a few times, "Chen Nuo! Chen Nuo!!"

Then she continued running towards the next intersection.

·

Li Yingwan struggled for a moment, but then she saw the familiar face and beamed with joy, reaching out to embrace him.

Chen Nuo placed his hand on her forehead, pushing her to a safe distance while her hands flailed wildly.

"Stay still!" Chen Nuo said, his expression serious.

"Oppa..."

"Don’t ’Oppa’ me, you’ve caused me a lot of trouble!" Chen Nuo sighed. "First things first, how did you find me?"

·

School Belle Sun chased for two streets, scanning the crowds but finding no trace of the person she was looking for. Her energy spent, she finally stopped, gasping for air, her hands braced on her knees.

For a moment, she felt utterly lost.

Then, a wave of sadness washed over her, and with a sob, she burst into tears.

After lingering on the street corner for a while, still unable to find that handsome rascal, she finally squatted down, wiping her tears.

I don’t know why I feel so sad, just... it’s uncomfortable, my chest feels so tight.

He was actually being hugged by a girl.

And that girl was so pretty, with such long legs.

That girl was all cutesy and clingy, calling him "Oppa." I couldn’t understand what she was saying, but I heard "Oppa" loud and clear.

Do they know each other? What’s their relationship? How far have they gone? Have they held hands?

School Belle Sun squatted there, crying even harder.

At some point, someone gently placed a hand on School Belle Sun’s shoulder, and a tissue was pressed into her hand.

When School Belle Sun looked up, she saw that handsome piglet standing beside her.

"Why are you crying?"

School Belle Sun continued to cry, her lips pouting. "She... why did she hug you like that?"

Chen Nuo didn’t answer.

The first rule of the Jianghu: When a girl corners you with questions, don’t answer.

Anything you say at that point will be wrong.

You have to think outside the box, understand?

Break out of her line of questioning and turn it back on her.

Chen Nuo smiled and countered, "You’re crying over this?"

School Belle Sun squatted there, looking up at Chen Nuo with a pitiful face. "Do you know her?"

Hmm, I can answer this one. Can’t really deny it. Chen Nuo nodded. "Sort of."

"How did you meet her?"

This one’s not so easy to answer.

He countered, "Did you not see anyone else when you ran out?"

School Belle Sun naively answered, "No, I just ran after you two... Why were you running in the first place?"

Chen Nuo patted School Belle Sun on the head as if looking at a fool. "Silly, that Zhang Linsheng brought people to block me. There were six or seven of them, and I was alone. If I didn’t run, should I have stayed to get beaten up?"

School Belle Sun paused for a moment. "Then... then why were you carrying that Zhang... Zhang Linsheng, and running away with him?"

"To catch bandits, first capture their leader. I grabbed him and ran. His companions wouldn’t dare to be too reckless then, for fear of harming their own. Understand?"

"..." Miss Sun nodded, as if she understood, but not quite.

Why does it feel... like I’m being led around in circles?

No! That girl! Miss Sun reached out and grabbed Chen Nuo’s sleeve. "What about that girl? Didn’t she chase after you? She even ran out ahead of me."

"I didn’t see her. Did she run out?" Chen Nuo spread his hands, looking clueless.

Miss Sun was thoroughly confused and finally stamped her foot. "No! What’s your relationship with that girl!"

Just then, a shout came from behind them.

"Chen Nuo! Oh my, Keke! I finally found you guys."

Worker Liu jogged over, his forehead covered in sweat. "There you are! Is everything alright? Come on, let’s go back to school! Principal Fang is about to lose his mind!"

Worker Liu then looked at Chen Nuo. "Weren’t you carrying someone just now? Where is he?"

Chen Nuo continued to spread his hands. "I don’t know. I put him down, and he just disappeared."

Worker Liu glared at Chen Nuo irritably. "Let’s go, hurry back!"

School Belle Sun opened her mouth but didn’t speak, looking wronged as she stood up and followed.

After all, Miss Sun was young and easy to fool. In fact, judging from Worker Liu’s manner, it was clear he hadn’t inquired about the other girl at all.

Which meant she must have already gone back.

They walked all the way back to the school campus.

As soon as they entered the campus, they saw them by the school gate wall: the counterfeit Tongluo Bay crew, lined up and crouching with their hands on their heads.

Principal Fang was admonishing them with righteous indignation, "What you’re doing is very dangerous! You are on the path to criminality! Shouting and fighting as students! Will you resort to knives and guns once you’re out in society?!"

When Principal Fang saw Chen Nuo and School Belle Sun being led back, his demeanor shifted.

School Belle Sun was fine; Principal Fang’s tone was slightly more polite towards her. But when he turned to Chen Nuo, he couldn’t hide his anger.

It’s him again!

Last time in Yanbian...

No, best not to bring up matters that have already been suppressed.

"What happened just now?"

"They had more people, so I ran..." Chen Nuo gave the same excuse he had used to hoodwink School Belle Sun.

Principal Fang asked, "...And the one you carried off?"

"Ran away."

"Where to?"

"You’d have to ask him that. He probably ran back home."

Principal Fang trembled with anger. "Ran back home? After such a big incident, he just ran home to hide?!"

Chen Nuo replied calmly, "Running back to school to be scolded would be even stupider, wouldn’t it?"

"..." Principal Fang paused, clearly caught off guard, then ordered, "Call them! Call their parents! Do they think hiding will make it all go away?!"

What happened next had nothing to do with Chen Nuo.

After all, he was officially the victim.

"Principal Fang, can I go home now?" Chen Nuo asked, seeing that the principal was still fuming.

"After such a big incident, all you can think of is going home?!"

Chen Nuo retorted deliberately, "They ganged up to bully me. Where did I go wrong? Is running a problem now? According to you, should I have stayed and taken a few hits to be considered a good student?"

"Then why did they gang up to bully you?"

Chen Nuo asked, "Do bad guys need a reason to bully good guys?"

His tone was clearly looking for a fight. He could have spoken nicely but deliberately chose to push back with curt replies.

Principal Fang was livid. Old grudges and new, compounded by the humiliation he faced today in front of the Education Bureau leaders and the foreign business representatives, fueled his rage, making him shout even louder.

Chen Nuo also deliberately feigned a temper. "I was bullied at school, and you’re the principal. Instead of questioning the bullies, you’re hounding me? I got winded from running and I’m not feeling well! Can’t I go home and rest?"

Principal Fang grew even angrier. Finally, one of the teachers couldn’t stand it any longer and went over to pull the principal aside, whispering something in his ear.

Principal Fang regained some rationality and, taking a deep breath, waved his hand. "Go on, go on! You may leave!"

Chen Nuo deliberately put on an air of teenage indignation and turned to leave.

School Belle Sun watched in amazement!

She watched Chen Nuo leave the school gate...

He’s just leaving like that?

I haven’t even gotten a clear answer to my question yet...

The girl felt wronged and wanted to cry.

·

「Later that day」

Chen Nuo appeared in front of a hotel suite and knocked directly on the door.

Li Yingwan’s pretty face appeared behind the door. Then, with a gasp of joy, she pulled him inside.

"Sit tight. I have something to say to you, so listen carefully," Chen Nuo said, rubbing his forehead as he gently pushed the girl back into her seat. "I can only stay for a short while. You need to understand clearly what I’m about to say!"
