Chapter 25

Today would be a tiring day. There was only a week remaining before the final exams, and yet Yao Fang was picking up a fight. His classmates were devastated, after all, Yao Fang would get good grades without even trying, must've bribed the teachers!

"So you are the three having a little crush on someone, huh?" He cornered them in the corridor and Chen Dulan peaked from inside the classroom. He could trust Young Master to not get into actual trouble anymore. Who knew Yao Fang could be so reasonable? They only called him a spoiled brat, but he was quite the nice guy.

"You're gonna bully someone? Little brothers, let this Yao Fang teach you the correct way. Once I'm done with you, you'd all be pissing your pants." Okay, maybe he wasn't that nice, but at the least, he was nice to Chen Dulan himself.

"Yao Fang. What do you think you're doing first thing in the morning?" Su Yun walked up to them and glared at Yao Fang. "Everyone is trying to study. Don't bother others." The three guys who were being threatened by Yao Fang just a minute ago, swooned and melted on the ground. Their Goddess had just stood up for them!

"Hey, do you think Yao Fang is into Su Yun? Those three totally like Su Yun, is that why he's beating them up?" Chen Dulan heard a whisper. He turned to look at the girl who had just said so, and she awkwardly looked away upon being noticed. Yao Fang had Feng Huali. Whether he was serious about her or no, was another question, but Yao Fang seemed to be the loyal kind. He thought it was adorable, a very bad adjective.

"That would make sense. Now matter how crude, men are all men, they'll all fall for beauties like Su Yun. She could get any boy she likes."

"Unlike a certain someone, who rejects even the cream of the milk." They were totally talking about him, how he had not paid attention to Su Yun. Maybe because he hadn't spent any time with children his age before, he felt like a pervert at the thought of dating a highschool girl. All women he'd met at work were usually ten years older than him, so these female students felt like children to him.

"Woman, stay away from Chen Dulan." Yao Fang had said and Chen Dulan face-palmed harder than ever before. The misunderstanding would only rise with such words.

"He totally called her his woman!" Someone squealed behind him excitedly.

"Are Yao Fang and Chen Dulan competing for Su Yun?!" Absolutely not. The truth was, Yao Fang wanted Su Yun away from Chen Dulan, just as he had said, and Su Yun like Chen Dulan and Chen Dulan himself wanted to leave this damned school.

"Yao Fang, you can't tell me whom I need to talk to."

"Well I can tell you whom not to talk to. Chen Dulan is off limits."

They glared at each other, someone might even say competing for power over the situation, and Chen Dulan really just wanted to go home and sleep.

"Alright, alright. Enough romance for today, young people these days can't keep themselves from flirting in the hallways, but class is starting soon. Go back to your seats immediately." The old history teacher joked. Yao Fang looked disgusted.

"Young Master... you didn't have to threaten them." Chen Dulan whispered into his ear and Yao Fang flinched away at the feeling. His face was slightly red.

"Chen Dulan... don't get so close." He turned his head away and walked to his seat.

The history teacher wasn't wrong after all. Young people truly couldn't keep themselves from flirting in the hallways, even in front of the class.
