Lan Zhu

Another day…

When Liu Yang appeared at the school gates, Wu Hao had red, hateful looks staring at him.

The failed attempt to assassinate Liu Yang resulted in heavy losses for Wu Hao.

In addition to paying a lot of money to hire assassins, he still owed his cousin a big favor. The loss was very heavy.

So when he saw Liu Yang arriving as if nothing had happened two days ago, he wanted to explode with rage.

But there was nothing he could do to deflate the anger he had built up because he was at school, so he just took a deep breath and continued on his way along with the subordinates.

Liu Yang clearly felt the hateful gazes, but other gazes were also directed at him.

Not knowing the reason for those looks, he preferred to continue walking without knowing anything.

…

At lunchtime…

Liu Yang was doing the same as usual, a simple lunch, but another interruption came.

A beautiful young woman with long black hair tied in a braid wearing a school uniform walked toward him with curious looks. Unlike before, she was alone.

"Hello, my name is Lan Zhu, nice to meet you." A beautiful smile appeared on her face as she finished introducing herself.

"..." Liu Yang just stared indifferently as he ate.

A mouth with food prevented him from speaking.

"..." Lan Zhu felt a little awkward because it was the first time it had happened.

The other side always said something back when she introduced herself. It was common sense in the world.

But these things don't apply to Liu Yang. He didn't even show changes upon seeing her.

"Hi. What do you want?" He finally spoke after swallowing his food.

"I would like to know if you would be interested in being my friend?" She didn't mind his rude manner and held out her hand.

Both eyes look at Liu Yang curiously. As if she wanted to know more about him.

"Friend?" He showed an odd look at the question.

The reaction was normal because this was the first time anyone from the school had said this to him.

The other students preferred to avoid him because of the cold aura he gave off, but many avoided him because he was at level 0. Even the weakest student in the school was at level 1.

Thus, the vast majority of students prefer not to interact with him, even saying bad things about him behind his back.

Liu Yang had friends of similar ages, but they weren't students at the school, they were from academies for Hunters across China, a kind of special school that had training for Hunters.

"Yes. I'd like to be your friend." A pure, casual expression was on her face to show that there were no bad intentions whatsoever. He also didn't feel any malice or strange aura towards him.

"Is there any benefit to becoming my friend?" He shook hands politely.

"No. Because friendship between two people doesn't need benefits. Otherwise, this would be called a business partner or friends with benefits."

"Among friends and business partners, I prefer business partners. A friendship doesn't just need time to be solid but also trust between the two sides, otherwise, it's just something superficial. So it's a little better in the short run and it might be good in the long run because it might make the two sides become friends."

The teachings he learned from some of the militaries were a bit strange, so he still followed that advice even though Katharin and Xinyue said he shouldn't do it.

"Liu Yang, if you want, we can start as benefit friends or business partners." Lan Zhu spoke as naturally as possible. She didn't even seem to be aware of what she'd just said.

"Benefit friends?" A strange look came over his face.

"Yes. The two are the same thing, right?"

"Miss Lan, do you have a cell phone so you can research this? If after researching you want to be my friend with benefits, I can accept."

Her words only confirmed his thoughts.

A pure young virgin to say something like that was very strange, especially someone with access to information. So, it shows that Lan Zhu doesn't really know that he's a friend with benefits.

"..." A big doubt popped into her mind.

It felt like her words had other meanings, something she didn't know.

When the first result appeared on the search page, Lan Zhu felt like digging a hole to hide.

The shame was so much that his whole body turned red.

It could even see smoke coming out of her head.

"Hello… Miss Zhu, are you okay?" Liu Yang saw the abnormal way she was acting and decided to ask.

"I… I… I'm fine!!!" She spoke aloud to suppress her embarrassment, but it didn't stop her from going red.

Lan Zhu's embarrassed appearance and clumsy form were beautiful to behold.

(Did... Did... Did I really ask a boy that?!!!! What was I thinking???!!!! How can a pure young virgin like me ask something so dirty??!!) Her mind was in great chaos because of her own words.
