Chapter 17: The Unfortunate Zhang Classmate

  "There's a saying that goes like this, right? It's about an animal, originally it was quite a good animal, but when it blocks someone's way, it becomes bad! Look at me, how can I suddenly forget what the sentence is?! " Yang Tao, who couldn't find Chen Chufan and Meng Wei at first, heard Zhang Peng's words and immediately found the two of them. He walked to their side and asked them urgently.

  "A good dog doesn't block the way!" The three of them could naturally coordinate with each other, and Chen Chufan continued Yang Tao's words coldly. If it were in the past, Chen Chufan wouldn't have taken this cue. Meng Wei was even more unwilling to accompany Yang Tao's performance. So usually, Yang Tao would just continue performing on his own. For example, he would slap his forehead and strike a pose as if he had just remembered something, saying this line. However, the current Chen Chufan has changed a lot - he thinks that avoiding it will only make this disgusting guy become even more arrogant, so he doesn't mind cooperating with Yang Tao to disgust Zhang Peng.

  "Right, right, right. A good dog doesn't block the way, but Chairman Zhang Peng, why don't you be a good dog and instead insist on being a bad dog?" Yang Tao said bluntly to Zhang Peng.

  Yang Tao had been displeased with Zhang Peng for some time. It was not long ago that Yang Tao, due to a late-night phone call with his girlfriend, felt unwell the next morning and decided to skip the first two classes of the extremely boring Marxist original works reading course to catch up on sleep. As a result, the old professor who taught this course took roll after class, and according to the usual procedure, Chen Chufan helped Yang Tao answer "present" with his head down, which would have allowed him to get away with it.

  But who would have thought that after all the details went according to plan, something unexpected happened. Zhang Peng actually stood up "bravely" after Chen Chufan answered "present", exposing the two's "despicable behavior". A tragedy occurred, and Chen Chufan was summoned to the old professor's office after class to receive a re-education in Marxism and Mao Zedong Thought, while Yang Tao was directly put on the old professor's blacklist. From then on, whenever it was time for the Marxist original works reading class, the old professor would necessarily check whether Yang Tao was diligently studying the true meaning of Marxism in his classroom.

  This grudge is a bit too big, what makes Yang Tao feel even more depressed is that he himself is also implicated in this. In Yang Tao's opinion, Zhang Peng's conflict with Chen Chufan over the scholarship was just a small matter, and at most it only proved that his heart was as narrow as a needle point. However, if because of their small conflict, they dragged an innocent person like him into it, then that would be a serious moral failure. So Yang Tao never gave Zhang Peng a good face after that. This time he got the opportunity to make things difficult for Zhang Peng, and Yang Tao certainly didn't hold back.

  "Yang Tao, who the hell are you calling a dog?!" Zhang Peng's anger instantly overflowed when he heard Yang Tao's words. Who is he? The son of the party secretary of the college, usually teachers would be polite to him, but today he was scolded by an ordinary classmate in public, and was called a bad dog, which made him feel humiliated, so he immediately shouted at Yang Tao. On the other hand, he didn't care about Chen Chufan, who was the main person involved, from this point on, Yang Tao's ability to attract hatred is really top-notch.

  It was Zhang Peng's loud shout that attracted more and more onlookers. Several people were already standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, and it just so happened to be lunchtime, with many students coming and going. The two groups were facing off, and the crowd's love of excitement led everyone to stop and gather around to watch. The entire entrance of the cafeteria was packed solidly.

  "Quality, pay attention to quality! As a university student in the new century and as the chairman of the sophomore class, under the eyes of so many people, you open your mouth and close it with 'your mom this' and 'your mom that'. You're losing face for yourself, that's fine, but don't make me lose face along with you! Ugh, still a student union chairman, what a farce!" Yang Tao continued to use his unique mocking skills, attracting hatred.

  "Yang Tao, are you looking for trouble?" Zhang Peng said with a cold expression. A pair of eyes that were already small narrowed into a slit, staring fiercely at Yang Tao who was standing beside Chen Chufan.

  "Don't glare at me with those eyes that can only be found with a microscope! Who's picking a fight today, who knows clearly. With a face that only has archaeological value, you dare to come out and stroll around in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of affecting the city's appearance and being caught by the urban management and sent back to the furnace for re-molding?!" Yang Tao continued to say with his sharp tone.

  "A few young girls who were watching from the side couldn't help but burst out laughing at Yang Tao's teasing, which made Zhang Peng feel even more embarrassed. His pale face turned bright red, his fists clenched, and his whole body started to tremble."

  It's also Zhang Peng's fault for being unlucky, messing around with Yang Tao in a crowded place. Throughout the entire Zhongbei Minzu University, Yang Tao humbly said that his verbal sparring skills could at most rank second in the whole school, and absolutely no one dared to rashly claim they were actually the first.

  Obviously Zhang Peng also realized that he couldn't outtalk Yang Tao, so he said "Fine, Yang Tao, I'll remember this! I won't settle the score with you today, we'll see about it later."

  After finishing speaking to Yang Tao, Zhang Peng took a step forward and walked to Chen Chufan's side, provokingly saying: "By the way Chen Chufan, how does it feel to be publicly criticized by the whole school? I heard that you even lost your eligibility for this year's scholarship? Are you feeling very wronged? It seems like I really should thank my good brother Wang Kun. Tonight, I will definitely invite him out for a drink and who knows, he might bring your ex-girlfriend along! How about it? Do you want me to invite you too, so you can catch up on old times?"

  "Sure enough, you're a human beast! With a dog's mouth and speaking donkey language! I really admire how your parents taught you to become such a good-for-nothing!" Yang Tao heard Zhang Peng scolding Chen Chufan and instantly got angry, opening his mouth to curse.

  "Yang Tao, don't go too far!" Zhang Peng also got angry and shouted at Yang Tao. The emotions that had already calmed down were once again stirred up by Yang Tao's words, causing his whole body to tremble with rage.

  He had been tolerating Yang Tao for a long time, and in his opinion, he didn't plan to find trouble with Yang Tao today. On the contrary, it was Yang Tao who targeted him everywhere. As for the matter of reporting Yang Tao in the past, it was mainly to attack Chen Chufan. He didn't think he did anything wrong, nor did he think he should apologize to Yang Tao. It's just that Yang Tao was unlucky, and besides, you Yang Tao found someone to answer badly, had to find Chen Chufan, and was reported by me, it's also your own fault.

  "Alright Yang Tao, look what you've done! You've scared our chairman so much that he can't even stand up straight. He's always been like this, and if he wants to find a girlfriend, he'll have to go to the zoo. If you scare him into becoming brain-damaged or something, he won't even be able to get a mate at the zoo, and they'll reject him. Wouldn't that be a huge sin on your part? What if the Zhang family becomes extinct because of you, are you going to take responsibility for it?

  And another thing, Chairman Zhang, I'm warning you: you and your friends can go find a sow to play with 3P or whatever, but please don't insult my and my friend's ears! If you dare say one more word in front of me today, make one more sound, I'll beat you up right here. You believe it or not!

  The words that came out of Chen Chufan's mouth were so venomous, his tone was so arrogant, and the last sentence was so overbearing, that Yang Tao was left speechless."

  It seems that this should be something he's good at, but it looks like Chen Chufan, who has lost his temper, is not much better than himself when scolding people!

  Yang Tao was stunned, but Meng Wei beside him also looked surprised. Not to mention Zhang Peng who was standing opposite Chen Chufan.

  Chen Chufan is currently in the process of fusing with extraterrestrial music genes, and this stage is emotionally unstable. Especially after a breakup, the bitterness has been forcibly suppressed by Chen Chufan. But after all, it was his first love, and Chen Chufan, despite being repressed, still had a hint of shadow in his heart. Zhang Peng's vicious words instantly made the bitterness that Chen Chufan had forcibly suppressed surge out again. This feeling made Chen Chufan extremely angry! Especially when he heard Zhang Peng say that the man who made his girlfriend change her mind was actually his friend. It made Chen Chufan feel that his lost love was full of conspiracy.

  Didn't I just get a first-class scholarship? And my intention was not to compete with Zhang Peng, why be so aggressive? Along with the thought of unwillingness, Chen Chufan's anger value soared instantly, so he said the above words that he would never say normally. Especially the last sentence, Chen Chufan was serious, he really wanted to beat up this punchable good-for-nothing in front of him!

  Chen Chufan was furious and his voice was very loud, so everyone who was watching the commotion could hear him clearly.

  But Zhang Peng really didn't expect Chen Chufan to react so strongly to his words, and even more unexpectedly, the normally timid Chen Chufan dared to threaten him in public today. If it were in the past, Zhang Peng might have dismissed Chen Chufan's threat with disdain, or even continued to provoke him verbally. However, Zhang Peng had also gone through yesterday's basketball game, and as the student council president, he had to participate.

  So he witnessed Chen Chufan's show-off that time. Watching Chen Chufan show off, of course, he was not pleased in his heart, which is also one of the reasons why he would stay here today to make sarcastic remarks about Chen Chufan. However, it was precisely because he had witnessed Chen Chufan's crazy behavior of smashing the basketball hoop on the court that he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated when facing Chen Chufan's violent threats.

  But if I really don't say a word, wouldn't that be admitting defeat in public? Wouldn't I lose face then?

  "You're going too far!" Han Suan, Zhang Peng's friend, finally saw Zhang Peng's predicament and loudly spoke up, taking a step forward as if to pull Zhang Peng back.

  "Get out!" Meng Wei suddenly stepped forward, blocking Han Suan's path. His tall and robust body, combined with his dark skin, was absolutely intimidating to the short and small Han Suan. "You dare speak again, I'll beat you up too!"

  Meng Wei is like that, a very simple person. When his own brother was bullied, regardless of whether it's related to him or not, he would stand up at the right time. He could see that Chen Chufan didn't want to give Zhang Peng an excuse today, so he wanted to block all possibilities for Zhang Peng to have an excuse.

  "What do you want to fight?" Wang Qiang also had to speak up. Perhaps because Zhang Peng's height was not high, only about 172CM, the friends he usually hung out with were also relatively short. So Wang Qiang was actually not strong, and a small-sized person, and what should have been said in a very domineering tone, was instead said in an obviously unconfident tone, which made him lose all momentum.

  "You're absolutely right! How about that! The brothers are here to have some fun!" Yang Tao also walked up with a carefree expression.

  When Han Suan opened his mouth, Zhang Peng subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. He caught a glimpse of Han Suan's movement to pull him forward with the corner of his eye. He was prepared and when Han Suan pulled him, he retreated. Then he didn't say anything, letting his two younger brothers speak a few words to ease the situation. This way, he also had an excuse to deal with Chen Chufan and the other three later on.

  But who would have thought that Meng Wei's sudden outburst would render his little plan completely useless. Adding to that, Wang Qiang was blocked by Yang Tao. He had already realized that today he probably really had no way out, whether it was losing face or going all in. Zhang Peng fell into a difficult choice.
