School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Chapter 18: The Battle of Tiantai



Entering the classroom, Xu Fan greeted Guan Shimeng and Zhao Yan in the front row before heading to a corner and sitting down at his own seat.

Chen Dongdong sat next to him, trembling as if possessed.

Xu Fan furrowed his brow and asked, "Dongdong, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah!"

Startled by Xu Fan's tap, Chen Dongdong jerked! Regaining his senses, he looked at Xu Fan and forced a bitter smile, "Boss, aren't you, aren't you scared?"

"Scared? Scared of what?"

Xu Fan felt completely baffled.

Chen Dongdong bitterly smiled and said, "Boss, you forgot? You promised Shi Yong yesterday that you would go to the rooftop at noon…"

After finishing his words, Chen Dongdong glanced at the classroom's wall clock. In less than four hours, they would have to meet the appointment, and he couldn't imagine how just he and Xu Fan were going to deal with Shi Lei and his bunch…

"Then we'll just go..."

At that moment, Xu Fan said with an indifferent attitude, and Chen Dongdong, seeing this, could only helplessly shake his head.

He thought to himself that his boss was good in every way, except a bit too oblivious. He needed to realize they were going up against Shi Lei, the senior year's big shot...

Forget it...

Thinking of the upcoming calamity, Chen Dongdong shook his head and took out a pen to start writing a sick leave note.

Fighting was out of the question, but at the very least, they needed to prepare for the aftermath, yes, and don't forget to write one for the boss...

Before long, Shi Yong and his gang also entered the classroom.

Thinking of the noontime affair, he looked at Xu Fan with a smug expression and then settled back into his seat.

Hmph! Xu Fan? This noon, I'll let you understand! Just being able to fight? Useless!

Not much time passed before the bell for class rang.

Zhou Keren walked in with her textbooks and called the class to attention.

She looked haggard today, sporting a pair of dark circles under her eyes, and taught with a distracted air, occasionally glancing towards Xu Fan, which scared Chen Dongdong half to death.

"Boss, see what I said? You didn't write the reflection paper, and now Teacher Zhou is angry!"

"Psh, you're such a worrywart."

Xu Fan glanced at him dismissively and, seeing Zhou Keren's resentful glances, his mouth curled into a smirk. He nudged Chen Dongdong and chuckled, "Dongdong, you know why Teacher Zhou has dark circles today?"

"Why?"

Xu Fan grinned and said, "If I say she couldn't sleep because she was thinking about me all night, would you believe me?"

"Psh! Boss, I can offer you four words, 'delusional much'!"

Chen Dongdong shot Xu Fan a disbelieving look.

Xu Fan just shrugged his shoulders—if you don't believe me, so be it!

"Chen Dongdong! Who said you could talk during class! Get out and stand!"

Chen Dongdong was about to respond when he saw Zhou Keren slamming the desk with force from the podium, directly scolding him!

Chen Dongdong was so scared he nearly fell off his chair, and after casting Xu Fan a wronged glance, he obediently walked out of the classroom.

"Continue with the lesson!"

Zhou Keren huffed in anger and then glared fiercely at Xu Fan!

At this point, the more she looked at Xu Fan, the more irritated she became, silently deciding that she would have to have a serious talk with Meng Yue!

Such a scumbag; if Meng Yue stayed with him, he would ruin her entire life!

As the lesson continued, the four classes came to an end, and it was now noon.

Chen Dongdong, massaging his sore legs, walked back to the classroom and collapsed into his chair, groaning, "Man, why was Teacher Zhou so fired up today? My poor old legs..."

"Yo, Fatty, can't handle it? You're gonna die up there on the rooftop later, huh?"

At that moment, Shi Yong walked over with a group of guys, snickering. As soon as Dongdong heard this, he clenched his teeth, sat up straight, and glared at Shi Yong, cursing, "Shi Yong! I... I'm not afraid of you!"

"Hm, not afraid of me, huh? Make sure to be this brave later!"

Shi Yong teased, as his gaze shifted to Xu Fan beside him, and said with a sneer, "Xu Fan, you promised so confidently yesterday, right? You're not thinking of backing out now, are you?"

Xu Fan smiled and replied, "Don't worry, if I said I'll go, I'll go."

"Good! That's the spirit."

Shi Yong huffed, waved at Xu Fan dismissively, and said, "Xu Fan, then I'll head off first. Don't make me wait too long."

After saying that, Shi Yong left the room swaggering off with his cronies.

Xu Fan shook his head and looked towards Chen Dongdong, who seemed like he couldn't walk anymore.

"Dongdong, why don't you just stay here? I can go alone."

"Not a chance!"

The moment Chen Dongdong heard that, his eyes blazed with urgency! Clenching his teeth, he pushed himself up from the desk and stood up!

He looked at Xu Fan seriously and said, "Boss! Even though we've known each other only a few days, I already consider you my brother! Even if I have to crawl, I will go with you!"

This might have been the greatest courage Chen Dongdong had ever shown in his life, he knew the consequences of going, but he wasn't the least bit afraid!

For a brother, who cares if you get beaten up by a crowd!

"Xu Fan, we'll go with you too!"

At this time, Guan Shimeng and Zhao Yan burst into the classroom!

"You guys..."

Xu Fan, somewhat amused and frustrated, looked at the two girls. You two are joining in the fun too...

Guan Shimeng said, "Xu Fan, I heard everything, I don't care, I want to go with you! When the time comes, I... I can help too!"

Zhao Yan nodded vigorously, adding, "Right! And me! Xu Fan, you helped me yesterday, today I want to help you!"

Seeing their brave and ready-to-sacrifice-themselves attitude, Xu Fan was bemused, to the uninformed it would seem like they were about to storm a courthouse!

But thinking about it, he was indeed touched...

"Well then, since you all want to go, let's go together."

There was no way to decline now, and Xu Fan shook his head resignedly, agreeing to their demands.

After discussing, Xu Fan helped Chen Dongdong up, and, along with Guan Shimeng and Zhao Yan, they headed for the top floor of the teaching building.

The door to the rooftop was already open; it seemed Shi Lei and his people had been waiting for a while.

Once the four of them got to the rooftop, they saw nearly forty students crowded there, waiting for them.

Among them, the familiar faces of Shi Yong and Chen Sheng were present.

"Bro, that's the kid!"

When Shi Yong saw Xu Fan approaching, he nudged a guy who looked a bit like him to alert him.

This guy was probably Shi Lei, the big boss of Zijing Middle School's senior year. He nodded, then turned his scrutinizing gaze to Xu Fan.

Seeing the people Xu Fan brought with him, Shi Lei scoffed.

"Little brother, you're rather pathetic, aren't you? Calling me out for this guy?"

Compared to his own hordes of cronies, Xu Fan's group looked like nothing!

Shi Lei looked at Xu Fan with disdain and huffed, "Kid, what have you brought to entertain me with?"
