"Are you crazy or something?"

Qin Chuan was startled by Su Qian's words.

He had no intention of ruining anyone else's relationship, but he couldn't handle this woman acting like a lunatic.

Self-comforting, calling his name, mentioning breaking up with her boyfriend?

Who would have thought that a girl who seemed like the girl next door could be someone like this?

Qin Chuan felt he couldn't afford to attract such trouble; he didn't want to be harassed by Su Qian's boyfriend later.

So he decisively refused Su Qian and walked toward the cafeteria.

But, it was clear that Su Qian wasn't planning to let him off the hook, as she clung to his arm all the way.

Throughout the journey, Qin Chuan felt many hostile glances directed his way.

If looks could kill, he reckoned he'd be dead a hundred times over by now.

As it turned out, Su Qian's appearance was very deceptive.

Many boys at school considered her as pure as a goddess.

But who would have thought their goddess was actually this flirtatious in private?

Qin Chuan didn't want to attract any more drama, wishing Su Qian would leave immediately.

But this persistent flirt was clearly attached to him, impossible to shake off, troublesome indeed.

Should he really give in to her once?

Yet, once you start, it leads to more, fearing that this flirt would become more demanding after getting a taste.

Qin Chuan dismissed the idea, got some food, and found a quiet corner to sit down.

Su Qian also took the opportunity to sit beside him.

During the meal, she occasionally gave him a dreamy look, licking her chopsticks as if imagining they were Qin Chuan's... dragon.

Qin Chuan looked awkward, pretending not to notice, focusing on his food.

"Brother Qin Chuan, you've finished your meal, when are you going to start with me?"

Su Qian said in a voice only they could hear, "You wouldn't want Xixi to know it was you in the girls' bathroom yesterday, right?"

"Why are you like this..."

Qin Chuan was quite troubled; as a grown man, being threatened by a young girl?

Just as he was getting a bit angry, a group of people approached them.

Zhu Jifeng, who had been beaten by Qin Chuan twice, was among them.

However, today he wasn't the main player.

The lead was a young man surrounded by others.

This person was about the same age as Qin Chuan but not as tall.

He looked decent.

But the disdain in his eyes made Qin Chuan a bit uncomfortable.

"Qianqian, didn't you say you had a boyfriend? Is this your boyfriend?"

As soon as he arrived, the young man started questioning Su Qian.

Apparently, the two knew each other before.

From his eyes, Qin Chuan could see that this guy liked Su Qian.

"Wu Xuan, we're not close enough for you to call me by my nickname. Besides, who my boyfriend is has nothing to do with you, please leave."

Su Qian returned to her usual aloof manner, completely different from when she was flirting with Qin Chuan.

"Qianqian, are you mad at me?"

Wu Xuan's demeanor softened immediately, explaining, "Zhu Jifeng told me, the incident at the KTV was a misunderstanding. Xiang Jinghui didn't know you were my girl. I talked to him later, it's all cleared up."

"There's no need to explain to me, we're not as close as you think."

Su Qian didn't show Wu Xuan any kindness, grabbing Qin Chuan's hand, ready to leave, not wanting to cause trouble for Qin Chuan.

"Qianqian, you can go, but he cannot."

Wu Xuan blocked their path.

"Wu Xuan, I've said I don't like you. What's the point of pestering? How about keeping some dignity for yourself?" Su Qian said, exasperated.

"Qianqian, you're mistaken."

Seeing Su Qian getting angry, Wu Xuan softened again, quickly explaining, "He beat up our club members at the Taekwondo Club yesterday, so I'm here today to demand an explanation from him."

Upon hearing this, Su Qian frowned, glancing at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan nodded.

Su Qian's frown deepened.

Wu Xuan was the head of the Taekwondo Club, the top figure in Taekwondo at Jiangcheng University.

He'd won countless awards.

How could Qin Chuan possibly be his match?

"If your skills were inferior and you got beaten, it's your own fault, yet you have the nerve to seek revenge?" Su Qian glanced disdainfully at Zhu Jifeng.

Zhu Jifeng, hearing this, turned red with anger.

After scolding Zhu Jifeng, Su Qian directed her attention back to Wu Xuan, "Brother Qin Chuan is mine; if you want to hit him, you'll have to get through me first."

Qin Chuan, hearing this, was both surprised and amused.

He didn't expect Su Qian to stand up for him.

Nor did he expect that one day a girl would defend him.

"How could I ever hit you?"

Wu Xuan said fawningly, then proposed, "How about this, make him publicly apologize to the Taekwondo Club members. I promise, that's the end of it."

"President!"

Zhu Jifeng's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

Just apologizing and it's over?

What about the beating he took yesterday?

Is that just bad luck?

"Shut up! Normally, I tell you to train seriously, but you don't listen. Now that someone has come causing trouble, you have the nerve to be embarrassed?" Wu Xuan reprimanded sternly.

Zhu Jifeng mumbled, looking disgruntled.

Then, Wu Xuan's demeanor shifted again, ingratiatingly looking at Su Qian, "Qianqian, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Su Qian, hearing this, hesitated, glancing back at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan didn't feel he was in the wrong. They made the first move. Why should he stand there and get beaten?

Why, just because they couldn't win, they found someone to use their strength against him?

What kind of situation was this?

Qin Chuan learned a lesson early on in life: being too kind, and people will take advantage.

"Apologize? They should be apologizing to me. They made the first move, am I supposed to just take a beating?"

Qin Chuan had no intention of accommodating Wu Xuan, the sycophant.

Blustering with others but turning into a lapdog in front of Su Qian.

As a man, Wu Xuan was embarrassing, and Qin Chuan felt sorry for him.

"You really don't appreciate what's being given to you, huh?"

Zhu Jifeng pointed his finger at Qin Chuan's nose, but the next moment he was grabbed by Qin Chuan, who casually twisted: "Pointing fingers? Want to eat shit? Didn't your mom teach you not to point at people?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Zhu Jifeng screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan suddenly struck with a karate chop.

Qin Chuan reacted in time, releasing Zhu Jifeng and countering the move.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan's expression darkened.

"President, he's pushed us to the edge." Zhu Jifeng said with a contorted face.

Wu Xuan stared at Qin Chuan, "Dare to compete at the Taekwondo Club? If you lose, you must publicly apologize to my club members and promise never to come close to Qianqian again!"

"And if you lose?" Qin Chuan confidently retorted.

"For Qianqian's sake, I'll go easy."

Wu Xuan did not directly answer, instead, he chuckled mockingly, his tone laced with arrogance.

Then he turned and led the Taekwondo Club members towards their venue.

"Brother Qin Chuan, let's ignore him. As long as I'm here, he won't dare do anything to you." Su Qian advised, not wanting Qin Chuan to take the risk.

Qin Chuan shook his head, "I'm here to study. They have many people; harassing me endlessly won't do. Better to settle it all today, rather than letting it disrupt my studies."

"Are you confident?"

Su Qian was worried, "Wu Xuan has been practicing Taekwondo since he was a child. He won a gold medal in the college Taekwondo competition and used to be in the provincial team."

Qin Chuan nodded, calmly saying, "They're fine. Beating him shouldn't be a problem."

As a Cultivator, if he couldn't even beat a university Taekwondo student, he would feel he practiced in vain.

From just the one blow, Qin Chuan could tell that Wu Xuan wasn't his match.

Yet, Qin Chuan was both surprised and amused when he heard Su Qian protecting him.

He never thought that one day a girl would stand up for him.

"How could I bear to hurt you?"

Wu Xuan tried to placate her with a flattering tone, then negotiated: "How about this, if you have him publicly apologize to the Taekwondo Club members, I promise the matter ends with me."

Hearing this, Su Qian seemed uncertain and glanced back at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan didn't think he did anything wrong; they were the ones who attacked him first, and now they want him to just stand there and take the beating?

What was that about? If you can't win, just bring in a backer to throw weight around.

"Apologize? Nonsense! If anything, your Taekwondo Club should be apologizing to me! What, you think you can just hit me and walk away?"

Qin Chuan wasn't humoring bootlicker Wu Xuan at all.

Strutting around others, yet acting like a scared puppy in front of Su Qian.

To be a man and end up like this? Qin Chuan felt secondhand embarrassment for him.

"You damn well better take that back, got it?"

Zhu Jifeng pointed his finger at Qin Chuan's face, but in the next moment was grabbed by the hand and casually twisted around: "Don't be pointing fingers, you want to eat shit? Didn't your mom tell you not to point at people?"
