Chapter 41: Only Children Make Choices

Under what circumstances did a boy feel the coolest.

Lead—

Lead what?

*Cough, cough…*

The question should have been which things made a boy feel really cool.

I believed one of them was this: in front of the entire class, a gorgeous girl wearing ten-centimeter heels and a beautiful dress stepped out of a Ferrari and walked straight up to you…

That let you act unbelievably smug in front of everyone…

And if anything felt cooler than that, it was two such girls!

Chen Yuan also experienced that happiness, yet he still put on a poker face.

He dared not let the class notice how delighted he felt…

Amid the crowd’s jeering, the three of them sat in the empty seats at the back of the room.

Normally the roommates saved one chair for Chen Yuan, but three chairs were not enough today.

Chen Yuan obviously could not let the two girls sit together alone; they had come to accompany him, so this time he had to abandon his brothers.

The subject teacher, a middle-aged man with glasses, pushed up his frames, signaled everyone to be quiet, and silently memorized Chen Yuan’s face.

If nothing unexpected happened, Chen Yuan would soon earn a new nickname: that guy who once brought two girls to class.

The teacher had been worrying that the class lacked lively material; now the material walked in by itself!

He bound himself to remember it.

After they sat, Chen Yuan took a textbook from his bag.

The two girls sat on either side of him and stared at his… book.

Fortunately he had extras, so he tossed out two more volumes and let them pretend to study.

Yu propped her cheek on one hand and breathed a fragrant sigh. “I’m just looking at you~”

The longer she stared, the stronger a certain feeling inside her grew…

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart; after the thrill came the pain…

Clovie heard that line and almost used Frost Arts to seal the other girl’s eyes shut.

Before leaving home they had agreed: no arguing, no fighting, and absolutely no magic.

Otherwise he would die in front of them in minutes.

It sounded like a joke, yet that single sentence worked as the strongest restraint.

Had it been any other reason, the girls might not have obeyed, but anything involving Chen Yuan’s safety made them treat the rule with one-hundred-and-twenty-percent seriousness.

Chen Yuan was never a show-off; he preferred to let others bask in the spotlight, and he refused to step into it unless forced.

Not everyone loved the stage, after all.

At home he worked hard to persuade the girls not to follow him, yet they insisted… and he truly had no solution…

The trip here proved painful.

Every strange look they met seemed to say, “That guy must be rich… No, that guy is definitely rich!”

For the first time Chen Yuan understood how terrifying stereotypes could be.

Prejudice! Prejudice!

Discrimination! They discriminated against me!

I’ll sue them all the way to the top!

In his original plan, Clovie happened to have a class meeting tonight while he had a lecture, perfectly staggering their schedules.

Once the start-of-term novelty faded, walking with Clovie should not attract such attention.

Yu’s arrival destroyed everything…

He could already foresee tomorrow’s headline: “The Dragon King Returns! He Is the Last Disciple of the Dragon King!”

Anyone who looked down on me is blind!

Two freshman campus belles handed to me for free at the opening scene…

Wait, wait, wait…

Clovie even skipped her class meeting, insisting on following him because she worried.

Helpless, Chen Yuan took her to the college office, asked the adviser for leave, and rushed back to the classroom.

Not long after class began, Chen Yuan’s posture slowly tilted…

Clovie read the book titled Marxism with great focus; the ideas fascinated her, and then she noticed Chen Yuan leaning toward her side…

She curled her lips, and joy bubbled to the surface.

Teacher must have his reason… why else would he slide toward me?

Thinking that, she sat up straighter and inched her chair toward Chen Yuan.

Teacher surely knew what he was doing…

But from Chen Yuan’s angle…

Yu, stop coming any closer…

Since the bell rang, she had kept her eyes glued to him. She neither read nor listened, she just stared.

How could anyone study like this!

Staring was one thing; she even kept inching nearer, half her hips now on his chair…

Under the desk she crossed one leg over the other, and her black short high heels kept nudging his calf…

How could anyone concentrate?!

If the whole term went on like this, failing the course was already waving at him…

…

The roommates sat far away, yet they watched Chen Yuan’s every move.

In fact, not only they; most students in the class stole more than a few glances.

Especially the boys, who had zero resistance to Clovie and Yu’s looks, though unfortunately both girls were…

Envy, jealousy, hate…

They racked their brains and still could not figure out how two perfect girls became involved with one boy at the same time…

“I think I’ve figured it out…” Liu Yuhang spoke first.

“What exactly did you figure out?” Huang Zhisheng tapped on his tablet, drawing cards while adjusting his lineup.

“That girl in the black dress must be involved with Old Chen!” Liu Yuhang noticed that every time he looked over, she never stopped staring at Old Chen.

“You’re kidding me…” Huang Zhisheng laughed. “Isn’t that the obvious?”

Huang Zhisheng, Luo Zichuan, and the other two had witnessed the girls almost fighting that morning.

Pure friendship could not look like that.

Back then Old Chen even saw them yet had no time to say hi before running off.

Something about that relationship felt wrong.

“I wonder… did Old Chen get the legendary hypnosis device?!” Tan Haoxin rubbed his chin, still unable to understand.

A guy who spent every day chanting Yu Enqi’s name suddenly changed, stopped fawning over her, and gained two girls even prettier than Yu Enqi for free…

Pure power-fantasy stuff…

A loud slap to Yu Enqi’s face…

“I told you to watch less unhealthy content…” Li Hua heard that wording and sensed something fishy—most likely something yellow.

“You don’t get it. I rely on no one but myself!”

All by myself…

“Six…”

“So which one do you think Old Chen will pick?” Luo Zichuan tossed out the topic. “I would definitely choose the one in the black dress.”

Same reason: the black-dress girl gave him face once…

“You think you can pick?”

“What does it have to do with you?”

“Clown…”

“You guys!! Damn it…” Luo Zichuan was stabbed by their verbal knives…

“Only children make choices…”

“Ice-and-Fire Double Extremes!”

“Against the heavens…”
