School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

"Hm? What do you mean?"

Xu Fan put down his chopsticks, looking baffled at Guan Shimeng.

Guan Shimeng let out a sigh and said, "In a week, our grade will have a diagnostic exam. Any student whose performance isn't up to par will be dealt with by the school. The worst-case scenario could be direct expulsion unless a construction fee is paid to the school..."

This diagnostic exam was set by Tong Dacheng. As Zijing Middle School was a renowned elite institution in Jinling City, it had considerable expenses. Tong Dacheng's suggestion was immediately approved by the school board.

As for the parents, none of the students attending the school was from a family that couldn't afford the fee. As long as Zijing Middle School provided good services, they were willing to pay.

Given Chen Dongdong's grades, Guan Shimeng guessed it would be tough for him to pass this test, and it was unlikely Tong Dacheng would let him off the hook easily by just paying.

It wasn't just Chen Dongdong; Xu Fan, having vandalized Tong Dacheng's car today, would probably be in hot water as well...

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongdong instantly lost his appetite and said with a mournful face, "I might as well be dead!"

Chen Dongdong knew his own capabilities. Always performing poorly in exams, how could he possibly raise his grades within a week...

He looked at Xu Fan guiltily and said, "Boss, I'm sorry I've dragged you down..."

Having Xu Fan sitting by his side, Chen Dongdong guessed his grades weren't much better. They were probably going to fail this exam together!

Guan Shimeng thought the same. Even though Xu Fan had performed impressively in the principal's office last time, he hadn't been to school before...

Guan Shimeng bit her tender lip and asked, "Xu Fan, how about I tutor you guys for the next week, see if it makes any difference..."

Zhao Yan nodded in agreement and chimed in, "Right, right, right! And me as well!"

Xu Fan thought it over carefully before shaking his head and said, "Cramming now is too little too late. I don't think it will work..."

Xu Fan wasn't worried about his own grades. With Perspective Eye, if he really got desperate, activating it to become the top student in class wouldn't be an issue.

The current problem was how to help Chen Dongdong get out of the danger zone...

Xu Fan looked at Chen Dongdong seriously and asked, "Dongdong, do you feel confident about this diagnostic test?"

Chen Dongdong looked back at him with a face of despair and said, "Boss, what do you think?"

"..."

Xu Fan rolled his eyes, thinking this was probably simpler than stabbing him...

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time!"

Xu Fan shook his head; that was all they could do for now.

After dinner, the four returned to the classroom. Chen Dongdong buried his head in his books, seemingly quite motivated by Xu Fan's pep talk at noon.

Soon, the bell for the afternoon classes rang. The first two periods were study hall, and Zhou Keren, carrying her textbook, walked into the classroom and started supervising everyone.

The little demon's gaze kept drifting his way, and Xu Fan saw it, frowning continuously.

In Zhou Keren's eyes, he saw raging flames of anger...

What, does this little demon think I owe her money?

...

After the afternoon classes ended, just like yesterday, Xu Fan followed Guan Shimeng and the others out of the school gate and headed home alone.

After greeting Sister Lan at the supermarket downstairs, Xu Fan went up to the third floor, took the key out of his pocket, and was ready to unlock the door.

"What the heck?"

Inserting the key and finding resistance, Xu Fan realized something was amiss!

Which cursed person changed the lock on me!

"Open up!"

Xu Fan pounded forcefully on the door, thinking it must be the two girls he teased who found out about it! No wonder Zhou Keren's stare was funny in the afternoon!

This is too cruel, isn't it? Changing the lock outright! Do they want to make me homeless?

"Zhou Keren! I know you're home! Hurry up and open the door!"

Xu Fan activated his Perspective Eye and could see, Zhou Keren and Qin Mengyue were both crouched at the door!

"Humph! I'm not going to open it! I'll piss you off!"

"That's right! Xu Fan! You shameless jerk! Dare to deceive me? This is your punishment!"

Zhou Keren and Qin Mengyue hid inside, and when they heard Xu Fan knocking and unable to enter from outside, they couldn't have been happier!

If it weren't for Zhou Keren taking the initiative to speak up today, both of them would still be clueless, being played by Xu Fan.

Without locking Xu Fan out for three to five days, they absolutely wouldn't get over it!

"Humph! Xu Fan, just be content! You deceived me, and I didn't have you arrested, your ancestors must have accumulated virtue!"

When Qin Mengyue thought about how Xu Fan had tricked her, saying Zhou Keren was his little darling, she was furious!

Hearing this from outside, Xu Fan was torn between laughter and tears, retorting, "What do you mean I deceived you? Whose fault is it that your IQ is low?"

"Say my IQ is low again and see what happens!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mengyue immediately wanted to open the door and rush out for a one-on-one with Xu Fan! However, Zhou Keren stopped her in time.

After her anger subsided, Qin Mengyue coldly sneered outside, "Humph! Xu Fan! I just won't open the door! I will make you so mad!"

"Fine!"

Xu Fan was furious! These two chicks are playing with me, huh?

"This young master is giving you one more chance! Are you going to open the door or not!"

"We're not! If you're tough enough, fly in and hit us! Oh, we're so scared!"

Hearing Qin Mengyue's smug provocation, Xu Fan was shaking with anger!

All right then, you've forced this upon yourselves!

Xu Fan took a careful look at the newly replaced door, which opened inward. Unlocking it wouldn't be difficult for him, but he had no such intention for the time being.

He went downstairs and bought a metal pipe from Xiao Lan's supermarket, then jammed it tight into the door handle!

Now, unless Xu Fan removed the metal pipe himself, those two inside wouldn't dream of getting out!

Having taken care of it, Xu Fan dusted off his hands, looked at the metal pipe that was firmly jamming the door, and nodded in satisfaction.

Humph! Just you wait! Not letting this young master in? Neither of you will get out!

"Humph! I'm not leaving today!"

After blocking the peephole with paper, Xu Fan sneakily slipped down the stairs.

He wanted to see how long these two smug girls could last without food!

After going downstairs, Xu Fan entered Xiao Lan's supermarket to find her.

"Xu Fan, what did you buy the metal pipe for just now?"

Seeing Xu Fan come back after purchasing something, Xiao Lan couldn't help but ask.

Xu Fan touched his nose and smiled, "Oh! It's nothing! It's for Zhou Keren to use for self-defense! Yup, self-defense!"

Seeing his secretive demeanor, Xiao Lan immediately shook her head with a laugh.

"Spill it, why did you come downstairs to find me, huh?"

Xu Fan grinned and said, "It's nothing major, just thinking of treating you to a meal. You helped me find a place to stay, and I haven't thanked you yet!"

"What, planning to treat me to a big meal? I tend to splurge when it comes to money, you know!"

Xiao Lan blinked, playfully trying to scare Xu Fan. She didn't want him to spend unnecessarily.

At that moment, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Forget it then, maybe you should treat me instead!"
