Chapter 17: Who is the superior one?

  "Of course." Su Nan said with a pat on his chest.

  I've been practicing martial arts since I was three years old. After so many years of hard work, through wind and rain, I'm considered a master in my field."

  "Oh, poor child." Chen Tong rubbed his forehead with his hand, his eyes filled with sympathy as he looked at Su Nan. "You started learning medicine at the age of three and martial arts also at the age of three. I really didn't expect your childhood to be so heavy. Su Nan, what other skills do you have that you've been cultivating since the age of three?"

  Chen Tong joked, Ning Yu first laughed on the side, "Exactly, Su Nan you're too pitiful. What other skills do you have? Say it quickly. After suffering for so many years, even a daughter-in-law can become a mother-in-law after many years. Now, we two allow you to show off in front of us, quickly tell all your skills."

  "Do you really want to listen?"

  After a period of contact, Su Nan has come to realize that in modern society, if you want to interact with girls, you have to be bold and meticulous with a thick skin. It's no longer realistic to pretend to be a polite and weak scholar like before and expect a girl to make an appointment with him in the backyard. So when he heard the two teasing each other, he didn't mind either, and made the same eager expression.

  "Cut!" Seeing Su Nan's performance, Chen Tong curled his lip, "You really think you're a genius, don't you, understanding everything?"

  Ning Yu, however, was even more convinced of Su Nan's abilities and urged him on, "Come on, say it quickly, what other skills do you have?"

  "This... " Su Nan straightened his back, lightly tossing his head, unfortunately without long hair, he had been used to a buzz cut since leaving the army. "To put it simply, it's called being well-rounded in both literature and martial arts. To be more detailed, in terms of literature, he was proficient in playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting; as for martial arts, he could barely manage to punch a tiger on Mount Nan or kick a dragon in the North Sea."

  "Hahaha! You——"

  "Huff! Hehe----"

  Chen Tong and Ning Yu pointed at Su Nan, laughing loudly without any regard for their ladylike image.

  "Su Nan, you're too ridiculous! Why aren't you surnamed Chui? Your name should just be Chui Niubetter." Chen Tong pointed at Su Nan, giggling as he spoke.

  "Don't hit people like that. Chen Tong, actually I'm a very honest person, what I said is all true, you should believe in your own comrades." Su Nan said seriously, but in his heart he couldn't stop laughing secretly, sometimes people's thinking can be misled, the more true it is, the less people will believe it.

  Actually, Chen Tong didn't entirely disbelieve what Su Nan said, it's just that when you say something and I respond with "right right right", the conversation becomes very dull, far less enjoyable than a lively argument.

  "So tell me quickly, this piece of steel, how was it forged? With so many talents, how long does it take to learn them? How old are you now?"

  "What you just said is actually quite true, I've been studying since I was three years old, and my childhood has indeed been very heavy." Su Nan's voice was low and slow.

  Although Grandpa was in seclusion, a talented person can still reveal himself wherever he is. After communicating with the school, Su Nan didn't go to school for classes, but only participated in exams and received his graduation certificate on time. And all of his time was spent studying under Grandpa's arrangement, learning all the knowledge that Grandpa taught him.

  Although Grandfather never talked about his past except for the family tradition, Su Nan could sense that Grandfather was a big shot in the past. His knowledge was vast and his insights were profound. Many things he taught Su Nan at the time seemed insignificant, but would later be proven true in the development of society.

  In this way, he studied uninterruptedly for 15 years until the age of 17 when Su Nan left home to join the army. This period of study indeed made Su Nan a versatile talent with a grasp of various knowledge.

  At first, when learning, Sunan had a resistant psychology as a child, but now looking back, he is filled with gratitude towards his grandfather in his heart. It was because of his strict requirements that he was able to grow up vigorously.

  Ning Yu saw the atmosphere suddenly become heavy, and quickly spoke up to break the silence. "Su Nan, I think it's better if you just perform flying knife shooting apple, long whip hitting candle flame and other thrilling acts. As for playing the piano or singing, they're too ordinary and don't have much of a shocking effect."

  "Alright." Sunan didn't care about these things, as long as they thought it was fine.

  Three people discussed the program here, finished dinner, and went directly to the evening party. The stage was already set up, and the movie had just ended. After turning on the lights, a colorful stage unfolded before the audience.

  Because it's self-entertainment, there is no time limit. In addition to the programs that have been set for a long time, there are also some guest programs in between. It's like Su Nan, who was invited to participate in the evening party and performed on stage.

  Yuan Lin chose to major in fine arts in pursuit of Chen Tong and was even in the same class as him. When he saw Chen Tong and Ning Yu walking in with Su Nan, one on each side, Yuan Lin's lungs almost burst from anger. His hatred for Su Nan also reached a higher level.

  "Look quickly, who is that person? It's actually two school flowers accompanying him together."

  "It's true, this kid has a lot of good fortune. I really want to switch places with him."

  "Get out, with your appearance, Chen Tong and Ning Yu would never look at you straight."

  "I won't be able to make it, will you? I'm afraid those two women won't give you a straight look either!"

  "But I have self-awareness and no illusions. Unlike some people, a toad can't eat swan meat."

  As the three of them entered, it caused countless discussions. Everyone was guessing who Su Nan actually was, a high-ranking person who could win the favor of two school flowers and willingly accompany him. Moreover, it seemed that the two could get along peacefully.

  The seats were arranged by class. Ning Yu and Chen Tong had a good relationship, so she didn't go to her own dance class side, but instead followed Chen Tong to their class's seat and sat down.

  Their seats were right in front of Yuan Lin, which was deliberately arranged by Yuan Lin. Originally, Yuan Lin had thought that he could sit in the back and appreciate Chen Tong properly, but instead, he saw Chen Tong and Su Nan's intimate behavior, almost making him faint.

  "Hmm!" Yuan Lin was so angry that his eyes were about to spout fire, and he grabbed Wang Liang's hand, "Wang Liang, do you remember the plan we just discussed?"

  "Don't worry, Brother Yuan." Wang Liang patted his chest, "After I go on stage to perform later, I'll definitely call out that little brat and let him make a fool of himself."

  Wang Liang nodded in agreement, and Yuan Lin's anger dissipated slightly. With a gloomy face, he said: "You must remember this clearly, first speak to suppress that little brat, only then can you make him lose face. Otherwise, he can just sing a song to get by."

  With the host's appearance on stage, the party has begun. Although it is an art department-organized party, there are only so many forms of entertainment that suit these young people to perform, namely songs, dances, and musical instruments.

  After several people sang, it was Wang Liang's turn to take the stage. It has to be said that this kid's artistic talent is still quite strong, performing Peking Opera, opera, and crosstalk in a row, causing a small climax.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce a friend here. His name is Su Nan. Actually, when he came in just now, most of you have already noticed him because he came in with our school flower Chen Tongning Yu. Being able to be friends with our school flower, his talent must also be exceptional. Shouldn't we welcome Su Nan to come up and perform a few programs for us?"

  The host, although not in cahoots with Yuan Lin and Wang Liang, was also very good at grasping the atmosphere on site. Seeing Wang Liang finish speaking, causing a stir on the scene, he knew this was absolutely a proposal to push the atmosphere of the evening party.

  He walked quickly to the middle of the stage, and the host began to invite Su Nan. "Su Nan, my friend, don't hesitate anymore, come on up and perform a program for us, let's enjoy it."

  "Hmph!" Chen Tong looked at Wang Liang and the host on stage with dissatisfaction, "I expected this would happen, their little thoughts are not even worth guessing."

  Su Nan also nodded at the spot, "Chen Tong, no wonder you wanted me to prepare a program. I thought it was for your own registration, but it turned out that coming in with you would make others exclude me and try to make me lose face."

  "Isn't it? This girl is so clever, she can figure out the little tricks in their minds with just a pinch of her fingers."

  "Heh heh, I followed you guys in and ended up stirring up trouble. You should think about how to make it up to me." Su Nan joked with the two of them at the right moment.

  "You'd better ask Ning Yu about this, mainly because her charm is too great and she's pulled in too much hatred value for you." Chen Tong chuckled and pushed Ning Yu forward.

  "Hmph! With the two of us beautiful women accompanying you, you're already burning incense, yet you still think about wanting compensation, truly greedy and never satisfied." Ning Yu furrowed her brow, looking at Su Nan with disdain.

  "Otherwise..." Chen Tong leaned his head close to Su Nan's ear and whispered, "How about Ning Yu and I each give you a kiss as compensation?" Only the three of them heard his soft voice.

  Ning Yu's face turned red, but she didn't back down. She still smiled and leaned in close, whispering: "Hmm, Chen Tong's idea isn't bad. Why don't we do it this way?"

  Su Nan couldn't sit still anymore, hastily standing up, "The host is already on stage urging us, if I don't go on stage, it would be a loss of face for you two." As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the stage. The two girls behind him burst into giggles.

  "Hello, Sunan, we meet again." Wang Liang gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile as he walked towards Sunan, extending his hand at the same time.

  "Hello, Wang Liang, your performance just now was wonderful." Su Nan's smile was more natural, smiling casually, stretching out his hand and shaking hands with Wang Liang.

  "Thanks for the compliment, you still remember me?" Wang Liang asked casually. He himself was able to recall Su Nan's appearance deeply because of his hatred towards him.

  "Of course, don't you remember me too?" Su Nan said with a faint smile. You were the ones who came to provoke me first! Don't think that just getting you drunk can eliminate hatred. Just like that time we drank together, if you don't take the initiative to provoke me, I can let you off easy. But if you still don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for not being polite.
