People were coming and going in the teaching building, and Fu Chengyu directly blocked Shen Nanxing at the classroom door. As a prominent figure at the school, Fu Chengyu was quickly recognized by the crowd.

“Hey, isn’t that Fu Chengyu from the second-year finance department? Who’s the little junior he’s holding onto? He looks pretty cute.”

“Oh my gosh, I don’t know who that little cutie is, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking they look really good together.”

“Ahhh, Fu Chengyu, look at me!”

“Mom, I think I’m falling in love!”

… More and more people stopped to watch, almost causing a traffic jam. Shen Nanxing frowned, displeased. “Fu Chengyu, let go of me.”

Fu Chengyu’s grip was strong, making it painful for Shen Nanxing. He was in so much pain that he wanted to curse.

“Nanxing, sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Fu Chengyu seemed to just notice the painful expression on Shen Nanxing’s face and released his grip. He then took a step forward, standing in front of Shen Nanxing to explain, “Nanxing, why didn’t you wait for me today? We agreed that I would pick you up.”

Shen Nanxing rubbed his wrist and casually replied, “I forgot.”

For some reason, those words seemed to set Fu Chengyu off. He grabbed Shen Nanxing’s shoulder with a forceful grip. “We agreed on this! How could you forget?”

Looking at Fu Chengyu’s expression, one might think that Shen Nanxing had done something to hurt him. Fu Chengyu must have some kind of drama-loving personality; he was so over the top!

Anger flared up in Shen Nanxing’s heart, and he snapped, “Fu Chengyu, let go!”

But Fu Chengyu seemed to be competing with him, tightening his grip even more. Shen Nanxing’s face turned pale from the pain. He didn’t expect Fu Chengyu to lose control so easily. Unable to bear it anymore, he bit down on Fu Chengyu’s arm.

Only then did Fu Chengyu let go, wincing in pain.

“If you don’t want to talk properly, then I have nothing to say to you.” Shen Nanxing straightened his clothes, turned, and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, Fu Chengyu quickly ran after him.

The scene was captured by onlookers and posted on the school forum.

…

Shen Nanxing was small and easily maneuvered through the crowd, leaving Fu Chengyu behind.

“Nanxing, wait up! Let me explain, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Nanxing…” Fu Chengyu struggled to catch up, wanting a chance to explain himself. He didn’t want this incident reaching Shen Nanxing’s parents, so he knew he had to smooth things over.

Shen Nanxing ignored Fu Chengyu’s barking and kept walking, wanting to get as far away from the man as possible. What a bad day!!!

“Yo, what’s wrong with our little Nanxing?”

“Why so puffed up, looking like a pufferfish?”

“You’re the pufferfish! Your whole family’s a pufferfish!” Shen Nanxing didn’t even need to see who it was before he retorted.

Xia Zimu, speaking lazily with a playful smile, poked Shen Nanxing’s cheek. “Why the big attitude? Tell your big brother, I’ll help you punch him.”

Shen Nanxing stopped, glaring at Xia Zimu with irritation, and snapped, “What do you want, blocking my way?”

Xia Zimu casually draped his arm over Shen Nanxing’s shoulder. “Oh, little ungrateful one, I came all the way back to see you as soon as I got here, and you’re yelling at me?”

“Who cares?!”

**”Oh my god, is this still the Shen Nanxing I remember? He’s actually talking back.”**

Shen Nanxing: “…” This person seriously acts like he doesn’t understand what I’m saying. Can’t he tell I don’t want to deal with him?

Fu Chengyu finally caught up. “Nanxing, listen to me, okay?”

“Fu Chengyu, so it was you who made our little Nanxing angry. Are you itching for a beating?” Before Shen Nanxing could speak, Xia Zimu was already giving Fu Chengyu a displeased look.

Fu Chengyu glanced at Xia Zimu, gritting his teeth. “Xia Zimu, what are you doing here?”

The two had never gotten along since childhood and always disliked each other. Fu Chengyu found Xia Zimu’s personality too arrogant and his tongue too sharp, while Xia Zimu hated Fu Chengyu for taking Shen Nanxing’s attention and acting so pretentious.

Their eyes met, like enemies about to fight.

“You’re the one who should be saying that, aren’t you?” Xia Zimu sneered. “Don’t think just because you have an engagement with Nanxing, you can bully him. Do you believe I can knock you down in a minute?”

Shen Nanxing watched the scene, thinking how dramatic this was!

Fu Chengyu, not backing down, replied, “You’re just jealous, jealous of my engagement with Nanxing!”

Very well, Fu Chengyu knew how to provoke Xia Zimu. Xia Zimu felt his fists clench tighter but kept his cool, smiling as if nothing mattered. “Oh? As long as Nanxing agrees, I’m happy to take a little loss and be the third wheel.”

“Little Nanxing, what do you think?” Xia Zimu threw a flirtatious glance at Shen Nanxing.

Shen Nanxing: “…” How shameless could a person be to actually say such things? If he wanted to be the third wheel, he should be saying this to Lin Bai, not me.

Fu Chengyu’s face turned green hearing Xia Zimu’s shameless words. Xia Zimu continued confidently, “Don’t worry, when the time comes, Nanxing and I will definitely pick out a nice green hat for you that will suit you perfectly.”

Shen Nanxing couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Just two short sentences, and Fu Chengyu’s defenses were completely broken. He exploded in rage, “Xia Zimu, you bastard, you’re shameless!”

Xia Zimu shrugged indifferently, “I’ve never had any shame. Is this your first time meeting me?”

“How could you, the main wife, be so petty? I haven’t even complained about being the third wheel, and you’re already throwing a tantrum. Your mind is so small; Nanxing must be suffering with you. Why don’t you go home and talk to your mom and call off the engagement?!”

Xia Zimu clicked his tongue twice, scanning Fu Chengyu from top to bottom before making a contemptuous gesture.

Fu Chengyu, furious and powerless, shouted, “Xia Zimu!!!”

Xia Zimu ignored Fu Chengyu’s fury, casually threw an arm over Shen Nanxing’s shoulder, and led him away. “Little Nanxing, let’s go. Big brother will take you out for some good food.”

Although Shen Nanxing wasn’t too fond of either of them, he still appreciated Xia Zimu for standing up to Fu Chengyu. After all, Fu Chengyu was incredibly annoying.

After walking a bit, Shen Nanxing shrugged off Xia Zimu’s hand from his shoulder. “Can you let go now?”

Xia Zimu pretended to be heartbroken, clutching his chest dramatically, and said with a mock accusing look, “Little Nanxing, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person, using me and then immediately abandoning me!”

“You’re no different than those scummy guys who pretend they don’t know you after they get what they want!”
