School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

What followed was a proper study session.

It had to be said that Guan Shimeng's notes were very effective. The content that Xu Fan had previously not quite understood, he now grasped immediately after reviewing her approach.

Approaching seven o'clock, Xu Fan exhaled, packed up the notebook, and said, "Kiddo, it's getting late, let's head back."

Xu Fan didn't particularly care what time he got home, it was Guan Shimeng he was concerned about, being a girl and getting home late might cause her family to worry.

Packing up their things, they left together for the school gates.

"Hm?"

They hadn't reached the gates when Guan Shimeng's expression changed; following her gaze towards the entrance, Xu Fan saw a bright red Ferrari parked there.

Next to the sports car stood a man holding a bunch of vibrant roses.

The man was about the same age as Xu Fan with a trendy, even flashy, appearance.

Next to him was a bodyguard, dressed in a black suit.

In Jinling City, there were quite a few people who could afford sports cars, but those who could afford bodyguards were few and far between.

Observing through his right pupil, one could tell the bodyguard's skill was at the beginner level of an external martial arts expert, definitely a cut above the average, which suggested that the flashy man's status was quite significant.

Guan Shimeng seemed to want to avoid the man by the gate, but he had already spotted her and, holding the bunch of roses, charged straight in!

"Shimeng! Your dad said you hadn't come home late, so he sent me to pick you up! Here! These flowers, for you!"

As the man reached Guan Shimeng, he lovingly extended the fresh flowers to her.

Guan Shimeng frowned, it was unclear if it was because of the flowers or the man holding them.

She shook her head and said, "Liu Zicheng, no need, I don't like flowers."

"You don't have to send me. I'll just take a taxi home later..."

With these words, Guan Shimeng not only refused Liu Zicheng's flowers but also his offer to take her home, leaving Liu Zicheng, who had prepared for a long time, somewhat dumbfounded.

However, what Liu Zicheng didn't know was that the real blow had just begun...

"Xu Fan, will you take me home later, okay?"

At that moment, Guan Shimeng looked at Xu Fan with anticipation and asked, causing Liu Zicheng's face to immediately darken with displeasure!

"You've got to be joking, Shimeng! You have this bumpkin tutor you until this late, and now you're having him take you home? Aren't you embarrassed?"

Liu Zicheng had no concern for Xu Fan's feelings, pointing at him and yelling, "Hey, you there! Bumpkin, how dare you pester our Shimeng? Do you know who she is? Do you think you're worthy of speaking to her?"

"I'm warning you! Don't even think about a toad lusting after a swan's flesh. You, this poor guy, better not harbor any crooked thoughts and get lost right now!"

Being from a powerful and wealthy family, Liu Zicheng had always been arrogant; this was exactly why Guan Shimeng did not like him. Now that he was losing his temper at Xu Fan, she immediately got upset.

"Liu Zicheng, don't talk nonsense! Who I talk to is none of your business!"

Guan Shimeng defended Xu Fan, but Liu Zicheng remained dismissive, snorting and responding, "Shimeng, it seems you've been really fooled by this guy! Just look at him, what does he have that's of any value? At first glance, he's from the countryside!"

"Such a person, getting close to you, must have an ulterior motive!"

"You!"

Guan Shimeng, concerned that Xu Fan's pride might be hurt, started to argue on his behalf, but Xu Fan simply waved his hand and blocked her.

"Kiddo, don't talk, I'll take you home later."

After saying this, Xu Fan pulled Guan Shimeng behind him.

Guan Shimeng did not resist being held by the hand; this infuriated Liu Zicheng!

After all his efforts, he had never had such close contact with Guan Shimeng!

"You damn brat! Let go of her this instant! Hmph, you're getting close to Shimeng just for money, aren't you? Say it, how much do you want?"

Liu Zicheng glared at Xu Fan with malevolent intensity, fully locked in confrontation with him.

Xu Fan squinted, smiled, shook his head and said, "Heh, the amount I want, I'm afraid you can't afford."

"What? Kid, don't play tough with me! My family is loaded with cash! Whatever amount you want, I'll give it to you! Just stay away from Shimeng from now on!"

Liu Zicheng declared arrogantly, the thing his family never lacked was money. Splurging money to crush people was something he did frequently!

He looked at Guan Shimeng with satisfaction, thinking it would show her just how much of a rural bumpkin the man she fancied was compared to him, how trashy!

"Since you insist on giving, then fine, this amount."

At that moment, Xu Fan held out a palm. Liu Zicheng, seeing it, burst into laughter and said, "Shimeng! See for yourself? This guy, he's after you just for the money!"

"Alright! Kid, you want 50,000, right? I will give it to you now!"

As Liu Zicheng spoke, he was about to have his bodyguard fetch him 50,000 in cash and then smash it right into Xu Fan's face!

"No, not 50,000, but five slaps!"

But before he could even speak, Xu Fan's outstretched palm viciously connected with Liu Zicheng's cheek!

Incredibly crisp! The sound alone was terrifying!

Struck by this slap, Liu Zicheng immediately saw stars!

Then, Xu Fan didn't stop, his hand swung back for another slap on the other side of Liu Zicheng's face!

Only two slaps in, and Liu Zicheng's delicate face was swelling up like a pig's head!

"You bastard! How dare you strike our young master!"

At that moment, a bodyguard roared from a distance and charged at Xu Fan! He was like a swift cheetah!

His presence alone already surpassed those of the elite in the Flying Eagle Gang!

In the blink of an eye, he was upon Xu Fan, lifting his hand to take revenge for Liu Zicheng!

"Get lost! It's not your place to intervene when I'm teaching someone a lesson!"

Before the bodyguard could get close, Xu Fan slapped out, sending him flying!

Two teeth even traced a parabola through the air!

In front of Xu Fan, this bodyguard's prized strength amounted to nothing!

Having flung the bodyguard away, Xu Fan then landed another slap on Liu Zicheng's face!

After these three slaps, Xu Fan had already brought Liu Zicheng to tears, causing him to kneel down before Xu Fan.

"Big, big brother, I, I was wrong, please, don't hit my face anymore, I still need it to pick up girls!"

Liu Zicheng wanted to die. Whenever this guy started hitting, it was always the face. What if he got disfigured? How would he pick up girls then?

"Heh, weren't you very cocky just now? Let me teach you today what arrogance really is!"

Xu Fan glared at him, this spoiled rich kid with no home training— if his parents wouldn't teach him, he didn't mind stepping in to discipline him!

Right then, he reached out and swiftly landed two more slaps on Liu Zicheng's face, leaving his ears ringing, unable to tell up from down!

"Get out of my sight!"

After the beatdown, Xu Fan kicked out, sending Liu Zicheng flying!

"Let's go, girl, I'll take you home!"

Having said that, Xu Fan took Guan Shimeng by the hand, walking toward the red Ferrari.

Little did he know, Guan Shimeng, following beside him, was already smitten.

After getting Guan Shimeng into the passenger seat, Xu Fan settled into the sports car and, looking at Liu Zicheng struggling on the ground, sneered, "Show-off, nice car. I'm borrowing it for a spin. Got a problem with that?"
