Chapter 26: What a coincidence this time!

  "Hey, our chairman is really not one to take a break when lightly injured! He was just hurt at noon and ran away crying, but now he's back out eating supper as if nothing happened!" Whenever there was a chance for verbal sparring, Yang Tao never backed down. While the others were still in shock from this unexpected encounter, Yang Tao began to mock and provoke him.

  "Yang Tao, don't go too far! I'm telling you, if you offend me, none of you will have a good ending!" Zhang Peng said angrily, clearly infuriated by Yang Tao's words.

  "You're called Chairman, but you really think you're a big shot? What's the harm in offending you? Are you going to put a counter-revolutionary hat on us or something?" Yang Tao said disdainfully.

  "I'm too lazy to argue with you, Chen Chufan, I'm telling you, you hit me today, this matter is far from over! After today, I'm afraid you'll regret it, but it will be too late!" Zhang Peng, seeing that he couldn't outtalk Yang Tao, started speaking harshly to Chen Chufan.

  On the side, Chen Chufan was a little distracted and didn't notice the two people arguing. Even more so, he didn't notice that Zhang Peng had already pointed his spear at him. It's hard to say, but life is just weird like this. When you want to see someone, there are thousands of difficulties, leading to not being able to meet. But when you're ready to let go and don't plan on seeing them again, she suddenly appears right in front of your eyes.

  Just like Chen Chufan now, when he first saw Wang Linlin, he didn't think that he would suddenly run into his first love here. Because it was too coincidental, he wasn't prepared, and because he wasn't prepared, he couldn't help but have a lot of wild thoughts.

  Just as I've got a new girlfriend, my ex suddenly appears by my side? Is this the intersection of old and new relationships? Or is fate just so cleverly arranged? Let me truly cut off the past and start anew?

  "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Han Xiaoxi whispered in complaint. Her voice and the light pat on Chen Chufan's back woke him up from his distraction.

  "What's wrong? Spaced out? Can't be that our Chen Dacai has seen an old flame and is having some thoughts, right? Can't still be thinking of rekindling the past?" Zhang Peng said with a mocking tone.

  Zhang Peng's words made the three people present change their expressions at the same time. Chen Chufan was full of disgust, Wang Linlin was full of embarrassment, and the boy who had been standing beside Zhang Peng also slightly furrowed his brow. It was just that Zhang Peng's resentment towards Chen Chufan was too deep, and he would immediately say anything that could strike at Chen Chufan as soon as he thought of it, without considering whether this would also make his good friend feel embarrassed.

  "What? Chu Fan's old lover is also here? How coincidental!" Han Xiao Xi heard Zhang Peng's words from behind Chen Chu Fan, poked her head out from behind him and looked at the two girls downstairs, then asked Chen Chu Fan, "Which one?"

  Because the corridor on the second floor of the private room was originally narrow, the two girls could only follow behind the three boys. From Zhang Peng's angle, he could only see two small figures, but couldn't see their faces. Han Xiaohui suddenly popped out from behind Chen Chufan, which startled Zhang Peng. And the boy next to Zhang Peng, when Han Xiaohui popped out from behind Chen Chufan, his eyes lit up.

  Chen Chufan didn't answer, but Yang Tao helped Chen Chufan out by saying: "The one wearing white clothes on the left!"

  Han Xiaoxi carefully sized up her current boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. Her hair was still quite black and straight, simply draped over her shoulders in a casual manner, with curved eyebrows, big eyes, and a small mouth on a pretty melon-shaped face, which was just passable, except for the slightly rounded nose. A red knit sweater was worn under a white jacket, paired with light blue jeans, a simple outfit that revealed a hint of innocence. However, Han Xiaoxi's gaze focused not on any of these parts, but rather her eyes were fixed on Wang Linlin's chest for most of the time.

  "This is your first love! It's not that big of a deal! Looks like our family's Chu Fan doesn't have such common taste!" Han Xiao Xi blurted out another sentence.

  "What's not big?" Perhaps it was a question that flashed through the minds of everyone present at the same time. No one would have thought that such a delicate and petite little girl could have such an uninhibited personality and jumping thoughts, except for Ye Siying, who had been with Han Xiaoxi day and night.

  "You're going to die, this isn't in the dorm!" Ye Siying also poked her head out from beside Chen Chufan's side, holding onto Han Xiaoxi and whispering. She didn't want Han Xiaoxi to be too showy in front of all these people. Especially since Han Xiaoxi had some wine today, she was really afraid that Han Xiaoxi would say something even more outrageous. To comment on another girl's bust size in front of a group of boys, is this something a normal girl can do?

  "What's wrong? I didn't say anything wrong!" Han Xiaoxi pouted and said.

  "What's not very big?" Having doubts and asking them out loud had always been one of Yang Tao's excellent qualities.

  "It's nothing, Xiao Hui had too much wine and is talking nonsense!" Ye Siying hastily said, she really wanted to cover Han Xiao Hui's mouth.

  "Hey, Chen Chufan, you still have the nerve to drink with beauties? I'm telling you, you won't be able to get away with this for two days in school!" Zhang Peng saw the two beauties suddenly appear and a surge of anger rose up from his chest. At noon, he slapped himself three times in front of everyone, and at night, he still had the audacity to find two such pretty girls to have dinner together. It seemed like he really didn't take Zhang Peng seriously at all.

  Especially that petite girl, opening her mouth to mention our family's Chu Fan, closing her mouth to mention our family's Chu Fan, as if deeply afraid others wouldn't know about her relationship with Chen Chu Fan. Furthermore, the girl looks stunningly beautiful, even more so than Chen Chu Fan's ex-girlfriend Wang Linlin by a good margin. This really makes Zhang Peng feel particularly displeased.

  Whether it was jealousy or anger, Zhang Peng viciously opened his mouth again to threaten Chen Chufan, and even almost revealed the inside information that Chen Chufan would be ordered to drop out of school.

  "Whether I have the leisure to drink or not is my business, so don't bother Chairman Zhang with it. As for whether I can continue to fool around in school, that's not for Chairman Zhang to decide either! It seems like Chairman Zhang's face has healed a lot, won't you forget the pain once the wound heals? Do you believe me, you still dare to talk nonsense, and I'll hit you?" Along with the cold words, Chen Chu Fan took two steps down from the platform, just enough distance to slap Zhang Peng with a raised hand.

  "Ah, ah!" Zhang Peng was startled by Chen Chufan's action and hastily retreated two steps, almost bumping into the two girls behind him. He looked at Chen Chufan with a terrified expression, and unexpectedly didn't dare to retort immediately.

  Wang Linlin and Ma Xiaoxiao hastily retreated two steps, then looked at Chen Chufan in surprise. Was this still the same low-key and introverted boy? How could he change so much in just a few days? Especially Wang Linlin, who looked at Chen Chufan's cold face with a complex expression. Girls are sensitive, she heard from Han Xiaohui's words "our family's Chufan" that there was a relationship between the two, and inexplicably felt a sense of loss in her heart. It was as if someone had taken away her favorite toy from childhood.

  When the news of Chen Chufan jumping into the lake was being discussed by the women in her dormitory as a joke, she didn't say much, but deep down, she seemed to have a kind of secret joy. It was as if having a man jump into the lake for her was something that made her very proud. But how could a man who was willing to jump into the lake for her so quickly fall in love with someone else? Originally feeling embarrassed because of Zhang Peng's words, Wang Linlin suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed again.

  "Hey, don't go too far!" said the boy who had been following Zhang Peng all along.

  The boy's eyes had been fixed on the two girls since Han Xiaoxi and Ye Siyi appeared. At that time, Zhang Peng was arguing with Chen Chufan and others, but no one paid attention to him until Zhang Peng was scared by Chen Chufan and took a few steps back, then he moved his gaze from the two beauties to Chen Chufan's face.

  "What's wrong with being excessive? Which branch are you from?" Before Chen Chufan could speak, Han Xiaoxi on the side spoke up first.

  The boy's gaze shifted from Chen Chufan to Han Xiaoxi behind him, and he didn't get annoyed by Han Xiaoxi's impolite words. Instead, he showed a very elegant smile and said with a smile: "I'm Wang Kun, from the University of Political Science and Law. May I ask what are your names?"

  "Oh? So you're Wang Kun! I've heard of you, the one who likes to steal other people's thunder. You're quite famous lately! But you seem like a spirited young man, how can you have a hobby of picking up leftovers from others? As for who we two are, you'll have to ask our boyfriends about that, I don't dare tell you. What if they get jealous?!" While saying this, Han Xiaohui pulled Ye Siying forward and stood beside Chen Chufan, even going so far as to extend a hand and wrap it around his arm, publicly displaying their affection.

  Ye Siying, under Han Xiaoxi's pulling, had no choice but to stand beside the two of them. She understood Han Xiaoxi's thoughts and didn't mind helping her tease the boy in front of them a bit. Ye Siying was a sensitive girl, when several people were arguing with Zhang Peng, she felt Wang Kun's gaze constantly shifting between herself and Han Xiaoxi. That kind of gaze she had seen countless times in the eyes of those who wanted to pursue her, couldn't help but feel extremely disgusted. Her own girlfriend was right behind him, yet he used that kind of gaze to look at two strange girls. It also made Ye Siying full of disgust towards the strange boy in front of her.

  Chen Chufan had been watching Wang Kun's performance with a cold expression, this was the first time he saw his former love rival up close. Indeed still quite handsome, under a buzz cut was a broad forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, indeed still had some masculine charm. Especially in a well-fitting casual suit, one glance and it wasn't something that could be compared to the clothes from street stalls, no wonder Wang Linlin would break up with him, Chen Chufan thought self-deprecatingly. Until Han Xiaohui's hand grasped his arm, did Chen Chufan regain his composure.

  Aren't you already thinking of bidding farewell to the past and starting anew? Why bother getting entangled with what happened in the past? Thinking this, Chen Chufan suddenly felt that arguing with the people in front of him was a very annoying thing.

  "Xiao Xi, it's getting late, let's go. Don't waste your breath on them," Chen Chufan said calmly.
