Chapter 40: Fanboy Activated
Xia Chenge pressed down with her hand, and the table immediately felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, so heavy that Yu Dejiang couldn’t budge it no matter how hard he tried.
“Don’t anger me, my patience isn’t very good.” Xia Chenge’s gaze turned cold.
“My patience is even worse.” As he spoke, Yu Dejiang intended to hit someone.
However, as soon as he raised his hand, it was caught by another hand, and he couldn’t break free no matter how hard he struggled.
The expressions of the people around them changed drastically as they looked at the cold-faced Ling Hanmu in terror.
“Who gave you the guts to yell while this Young Master was sleeping?” Ling Hanmu’s words were like ice, “How dare you disturb this Young Master’s rest!”
As Ling Hanmu exerted force, Yu Dejiang felt as if his hand was about to be crushed. He cried out in pain, his complexion pale, “Ling, Young Master Ling, I, I was wrong…”
“If this Young Master doesn’t show his power, you think this Young Master doesn’t exist! If this Young Master didn’t remember his surname was Ling, I would have thought the school was run by your family. You scared this Young Master to death, you know?” Ling Hanmu’s ferocious appearance made everyone tremble.
“Young Master Ling, I was wrong, please forgive me.” That person pleaded in pain.
“I can forgive you, but you have to run twenty laps around the track with your desk. When you finish, this matter will be over.” Ling Hanmu smirked with a wicked, unrestrained smile, “After all, this Young Master still has to live, right?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Dejiang’s face turned ashen. The track at Yan Sheng High School was 800 meters per lap, so twenty laps meant 16,000 meters… This was more painful than killing him!
“What, you’re not going?” Ling Hanmu raised an eyebrow.
“I’ll go, I’ll go!” Seeing Zhou Shaohua’s fate, Yu Dejiang dared not resist and could only despairingly pick up his desk to go running.
Ling Hanmu turned and walked back to his seat to continue sleeping, without involving Xia Chenge at all.
Xia Chenge chuckled softly, looking down. A young master throwing his weight around, always finding excuses to bully people!
The morning passed quickly.
During the lunch break, Ling Hanmu went to the restaurant alone to eat.
In the restaurant, many girls saw that Xia Chenge was no longer by Ling Hanmu’s side and eagerly stepped forward to attract his attention. However, Ling Hanmu rudely drove them all away.
This made the girls’ eyes turn red as they covered their faces and ran out of the restaurant.
Xia Chenge watched with amusement as Young Master Ling played the villain, embodying the image of a devilish young master to the extreme.
No wonder Meng Yufei’s popularity far surpassed that of the young master. Who would dare approach someone so fierce?
Perhaps seeing that the young master had been close to her recently, those girls felt a glimmer of hope and threw themselves at him.
It was just a pity that the arrogant and willful young master never gave anyone face!
“What’s Young Master Ling throwing a tantrum about? You don’t appreciate others’ good intentions, but do you have to speak so harshly?” Just then, someone coldly accused Ling Hanmu.
Xia Chenge watched the unfolding drama with great interest.
Li Yuming stood in front of Ling Hanmu, glanced at the girl Ling Hanmu had just scolded, handed her a tissue, and coldly confronted Ling Hanmu.
“Don’t meddle in other people’s business.” Although Ling Hanmu’s words were still unpleasant, they were much more polite than before.
“You’re taking your anger out on others and you think you’re in the right?” Li Yuming sneered, then paused, glancing at Xia Chenge intentionally or unintentionally, “It’s such a small matter to throw a tantrum over. There are plenty of girls in this world, why bother caring about someone who misjudged you?”
Xia Chenge raised an eyebrow. Can’t an older sister speak more subtly?
“Li Yuming!” Ling Hanmu narrowed his eyes.
“What is it?” Li Yuming retorted.
“Don’t test my patience.” Ling Hanmu’s gaze was somewhat dangerous.
Li Yuming smiled, “Not only will I test your patience, I will also push your limits. Young Master Ling, if you have the guts, yell at me?”
“Can you stop messing around?” Ling Hanmu gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, “Mind your own business.”
Perhaps others didn’t hear it, but Xia Chenge heard it clearly: they knew each other. Yan Sheng High School had no such rumors, so what about Meng Yufei? Was their relationship as she had overheard that day?
Xia Chenge suddenly felt that Ling Hanmu and Li Yuming had a very subtle connection. Li Yuming’s breakup with Meng Yufei didn’t seem so simple.
Was Ling Hanmu planning something again?
While Xia Chenge was lost in thought, Li Yuming forcibly pulled Ling Hanmu over and pushed him into the seat next to Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge snapped back to attention and looked sideways.
Ling Hanmu ignored her and said unhappily to Li Yuming, “This Young Master’s patience is limited, you’d better not provoke me.”
“What, you want to hit me?” Li Yuming said with a proud expression.
“Get lost!” Ling Hanmu shouted coldly and got up to leave.
Li Yuming, however, reached out to stop him and provocatively said, “Are you afraid of Xia Chenge? Why don’t you dare to sit down?”
Hearing this, Xia Chenge closed her lunchbox and stood up, intending to leave.
“You don’t leave either.” Li Yuming looked at Xia Chenge, “Sit down properly.”
Xia Chenge smiled slightly, “If I want to leave, no one can stop me!”
“Is that so?” Li Yuming retorted, “Young Master Ling, it seems Yan Sheng High School isn’t yours to command. Others can come and go as they please.”
Ling Hanmu suddenly flashed a brilliant smile and unexpectedly threw an arm around Xia Chenge, “This Young Master is happy to let her come and go as she pleases, so what? Li Yuming, don’t drag this Young Master into your business with Meng Yufei. This Young Master doesn’t eat the ‘two men fighting over one woman’ drama.”
This guy isn’t following the script!
His actions made everyone look over in shock.
Xia Chenge, unwilling to be stared at, abruptly shook off Ling Hanmu’s arm, braced herself on the table, and gracefully leaped out of the circle, “Are you guys childish?”
Li Yuming stared blankly at Xia Chenge, momentarily unable to recover from her cool and swift movements.
Ling Hanmu was the same, watching Xia Chenge holding her lunchbox and swaggering away: Oh my god, Little Brother is so cool…
“You can get lost too.” Ling Hanmu came back to his senses, pushed Li Yuming away, and strode out of the student restaurant.
Li Yuming stood there, watching the two figures walk away one after the other, inexplicably feeling that they were a harmonious and well-matched pair.
After leaving the restaurant, Xia Chenge walked towards the small grove where she had last seen Li Yuming.
Ling Hanmu caught up from behind.
“My legs are longer than yours, so why are you running faster than me?” Ling Hanmu looked unconvinced.
Xia Chenge raised an eyebrow, “Are long legs something to be proud of?”
“Hahaha…” Ling Hanmu was amused by Xia Chenge’s words, “Why are you so cute?”
Xia Chenge turned her face away to avoid his teasing, “Don’t describe me as cute.”
“Then what should I use? Adorable?”
“…”
“It seems cute is still the best word to describe you!”
“…”
“But I think handsome could also work for you.”
“…”
“Little Brother, you were so cool just now!” Young Master Ling’s eyes instantly sparkled, his fanboy mode activated.
Xia Chenge was horrified: Has this guy been possessed by a ghost?
