The name sounded pleasant. Lu Fei Fan stroked his chin, pondering how to strike up a conversation.
Just as he was lost in thought, a tall and handsome boy, dressed like a true gentleman and holding a beautifully wrapped bouquet of roses, stood in front of Lu Fei Fan's table. He cleared his throat and addressed the girl sitting by the window.
“Mu Ni Ni, do you have time to grab dinner together tonight?” he asked politely with a charming smile.
The girl turned her face slightly, giving him a disdainful glance. She closed her book and politely declined, “I have plans tonight; I can't make it.”
“What plans? If tonight doesn't work, we can reschedule for tomorrow night. If that doesn't work either, I'll wait until you're free,” the boy insisted, his tone remaining gentle despite his persistence.
Mu Ni Ni felt quite helpless. Suddenly, she noticed Lu Fei Fan staring blankly at the scene. An idea struck her, and she quickly closed her book and moved to sit next to Lu Fei Fan. She took his arm and turned to him, saying, “Xue Yang, honestly, I have a boyfriend now. You should stop bothering me.”
Lu Fei Fan was momentarily stunned. Was this a case of being caught in the crossfire or an unexpected opportunity?
“Just him?” Xue Yang scoffed, pointing at Lu Fei Fan with a hint of disdain.
Mu Ni Ni shot him a look, and Lu Fei Fan quickly caught on. He slammed his hand on the table and declared, “Yes, she is my girlfriend now. You are not allowed to bother her anymore.” With that, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her closer.
Her soft waist felt just right—no excess flesh at all—giving Lu Fei Fan an almost dreamlike sensation. Was this what it felt like for a toad to feast on swan meat? Mu Ni Ni's beauty easily scored above nine out of ten; she was definitely goddess-level. And now, he had managed to take advantage of this situation! Lu Fei Fan decided he wouldn’t wash his hands for a week!
Mu Ni Ni struggled slightly but shot an annoyed glare at Lu Fei Fan, fearing Xue Yang would see through their act. Lu Fei Fan pretended not to notice and tightened his embrace even more, relishing this unexpected fortune while gently caressing her beautiful waist.
Seeing Lu Fei Fan holding onto the girl he had pursued for so long made Xue Yang understandably irritated. “Who do you think you are?” he snapped.
“Me?” Lu Fei Fan chuckled coldly. “I’m just a handsome scholar from the Jianghu who knows how to take advantage of opportunities. You better leave while you can; otherwise, when I get serious, even I might be scared of myself.”
“Ha! What a joke,” Xue Yang laughed derisively. “In Pandora's Box, there’s no one I’m afraid of. Do you even know who I am?”
“Pfft! Aren't you just some pretty boy?” Lu Fei Fan scoffed as he looked him up and down dismissively.
“You…” Xue Yang felt humiliated in front of Mu Ni Ni but couldn’t afford to lose face by getting angry; he didn’t want to ruin his gentlemanly image. So he swallowed his pride and decided it wasn’t worth arguing with Lu Fei Fan any longer. “Mu Ni Ni, a man like this isn’t worth keeping around.”
“Hey! Pretty boy! Watch your words! What do you mean by 'a man like this'? How am I any worse than you?” Lu Fei Fan stood up. Despite his delicate appearance, he was not necessarily shorter than Xue Yang. If it came down to a fight, it would be this pretty boy who would end up regretting underhanded tactics.
"Hmph, I've remembered you," Xue Yang glared at Lu Fei Fan, then turned to Mu Nini, who was sitting silently. "Mu Nini, I'll come find you again."
With that, Xue Yang shot one last fierce look at Lu Fei Fan before turning to leave.
Once Xue Yang was gone, Mu Nini began to pack her things, preparing to leave as well.
"Hey, beautiful, shouldn't you treat me to a meal or something to thank me? Without me, you wouldn't have been able to shake off that white-faced guy," Lu Fei Fan said.
Mu Nini shot him a disdainful glance and replied with disgust, "Pervert."
She ignored him further and walked away.
Outside the academy, Xue Yang climbed into a hovering sedan with a displeased expression. This sedan was a luxury item that most people couldn't afford, and it was accompanied by several bodyguards in black sunglasses, indicating that Xue Yang came from an extraordinary background.
"What's wrong? Did you get shut down by Mu Nini again? That girl is tough; her sister is quite a character and has passed the Aptitude Test," asked Du Hao, Xue Yang's good friend who lived in the same district and shared a similar background.
"Hmph." Xue Yang's expression darkened. "I ran into an ignorant fool from the Federation Academy."
"Oh? That's interesting. Someone actually dared to offend Young Master Xue? By the way, the campus forum is blowing up right now; it's quite intriguing. Let me show you," Du Hao said as he opened a projection tablet.
Xue Yang took it and opened it up.
After watching the video, he turned to Kang Chao and asked, "Have you found out who this person is?"
Xue Yang clicked on the Virtual Screen and was immediately inundated with various information about Lu Fei Fan. There were photos and detailed accounts of his achievements at school, including his measurements, hobbies, and even his daily schedule for meals and bathroom breaks—everything was laid out clearly.
Seeing such a notorious slacker, Xue Yang quickly closed the Virtual Screen, losing interest. He couldn't understand why Mu Nini would team up with someone like him to deceive him. Moreover, this person had the audacity to offend him despite their vast differences in status.
"Lu Fei Fan... Hmph." Xue Yang noted this name. "We'll see how this plays out."
Meanwhile, Lu Fei Fan was diligently writing in the library when he suddenly sneezed. Rubbing his nose, he wondered if someone was cursing him behind his back. However, he brushed it off; being handsome often came with its fair share of envy and curses.
It wasn't until dusk that he finally left the library.
As Lu Fei Fan stepped out of the building, a tall figure blocked a large swath of sunlight that should have fallen upon him.
He looked up to see a sturdy man, about six feet tall, standing in front of him. The man appeared to be the kind of honest fellow one might trust, but what was rather unseemly was that he was grinning foolishly while digging his nose with his finger.
"Hey, Hua Hua, how's it going? Did you manage to deal with the principal? A Teng has bet me that you won't make it today."
The speaker was Niu Dali, Lu Fei Fan's best friend and one of the three notorious rascals at Free Federation Academy. They were the kind of friends who shared a mutual understanding of their mischief.
Despite Niu Dali’s seemingly harmless smile, Lu Fei Fan had learned the hard way just how troublesome he could be.
The trouble began during Niu Dali's teenage years when his hormones were running wild. One fateful night, under the cover of darkness, he inexplicably decided to sneak into the girls' dormitory, Pandora's Box, and steal a layer of underwear. As a result, he was chased by an entire building of furious girls. In a moment of desperation, he hid in Lu Fei Fan's locker. Ultimately, a group of chivalrous boys and outraged girls tracked down the missing underwear, which had ended up in Lu Fei Fan's closet.
No matter how many excuses he made, Lu Fei Fan found himself 'kneeling' before Niu Dali, becoming the infamous scapegoat at Free Federation Academy. He earned various titles such as "The Uncrowned Wolf" and "Scum and Pervert," all thanks to the incident. Every night when Lu Fei Fan recalled it, tears of regret filled his eyes; he cursed his poor choice in friends and often wished he could stab Niu Dali just to relieve his pent-up frustration.
However, ever since Lu Fei Fan took the blame for Niu Dali, the latter had been overly grateful, dragging Lu Fei Fan into a brotherhood pact. He promised camaraderie through thick and thin—sharing girls and bearing burdens together. Yet every time Lu Fei Fan saw him, he felt an overwhelming urge to strangle him; who knew if Niu Dali’s gratitude was genuine or just an act?
In any case, Lu Fei Fan understood that this fellow was no saint. After that incident, Niu Dali once again sneaked into the girls' dormitory to steal underwear and ended up getting beaten black and blue by vigilant girls who were prepared for him. He was caught and displayed tied up outside the girls' dormitory for an entire night as punishment. This incident only solidified his reputation as one of the three rascals at Free Federation Academy, much to Lu Fei Fan's chagrin.
