Shen Nanxing was startled by these frightening words and coughed a few times, pushing Xia Zimu away with a frown. “Hey, Xia Zimu, are you crazy? Stop saying nonsense.”

Damn it, another one with a dramatic personality.

But to everyone’s surprise, Xia Zimu took it even further. “Waaah… I knew it, you don’t love me anymore. You used to call me ‘Zimu Gege.'”

“I get it, I understand… You don’t love me anymore, you’ve got a new love, right?”

Shen Nanxing couldn’t take it anymore and punched him in the chest. “Shut up, or I’ll punch you to death!”

To Xia Zimu, this looked like a soft, cute kitten trying to act tough, but really, with just a finger, he could knock it over. It was too adorable.

Xia Zimu dropped the exaggerated act and became serious. “Okay, okay, I won’t say anything more.” He had to calm him down before Shen Nanxing got even angrier.

He grabbed Shen Nanxing and tried to lead him out of the school. “Little Nanxing, big brother will take you to do something exciting today.”

Without thinking, Shen Nanxing refused. “I’m not going.”

“There’s a motorcycle race this afternoon. Come on, come on, will you go and cheer for me?” Xia Zimu pleaded.

“I know your health isn’t great, don’t worry, there’s no danger. You can just cheer for me from the stands.”

“Come on, please, Little Nanxing.” Xia Zimu, seeing that Shen Nanxing wasn’t agreeing, slouched down and made a pitiful face, occasionally shaking Shen Nanxing’s arm to look even more pitiable.

A motorcycle race? That sounded pretty cool.

Shen Nanxing couldn’t do intense sports due to his health, and he was particularly envious of people who could do what they loved. Like Xia Zimu—he loved motorcycles, and not only was it cool, it was also really handsome.

But Xia Zimu was one of the protagonists in a novel, and he couldn’t get too involved with him. What if something happened to his life because of it? Even though Shen Nanxing really wanted to go, he still shook his head. “I’m not going.”

The light in Xia Zimu’s eyes instantly dimmed. “Okay then.”

Shen Nanxing couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him after seeing his disappointed expression but didn’t say anything more.

Xia Zimu quickly regained his energy. “Then let’s have lunch together, you can’t reject me for this, right?”

“Fine.”

…

The scene earlier, where Shen Nanxing and Fu Chengyu were tugging at each other in front of the classroom, was clearly filmed and posted on the campus forum. The title was eye-catching: “Shocking!!! Financial Department’s Cool Male God Forces Love on Cute Junior”

Everyone knew that Fu Chengyu was very popular at school, and any post about him would attract attention. As soon as the video was uploaded, it immediately drew crowds of onlookers.

[Lucky to witness the whole process firsthand, but it seems like the junior doesn’t like Fu Chengyu.]

[No way? Didn’t they say Fu Chengyu has a fiancé?]

[Wow, wow, wow, when did our school get such an adorable junior.]

[Three minutes, I need all his information.]

[Hehehe, I might sound a bit creepy, so I’ll leave now.]

[What the heck, did I see that wrong? Forced love, isn’t this a classic scene from a domineering CEO novel?]

[I’m shipping it, sisters, let me start shipping first.]

[Rich young master VS cute junior, this is such a good ship.]

[Exactly, exactly. Even though the junior doesn’t seem too willing, they look like a perfect match.]

[……]

Lin Bai, who saw this scene in the dorm, nearly crushed his phone in jealousy. He looked enviously at the two entangled in front of him, a flash of dark light in his eyes. He had seen this person not long ago, and now, unexpectedly, he not only knew Zhou He but also had some unclear relationship with Fu Chengyu. Especially when he saw the forum filled with compliments about Shen Nanxing’s appearance and how well he matched with Fu Chengyu, he felt jealousy surge to the point of madness.

He thought for a moment and then anonymously posted on the forum.

[I think I’ve seen this person before. Not long ago, he was acting very close to Senior Zhou He, and now he’s getting entangled with Senior Fu. Maybe he’s eyeing their family backgrounds…]

Soon, some brainless people on the forum were led by Lin Bai’s post and began to agree. Some even started insulting Shen Nanxing, saying he was crazy for money and was playing both sides.

Lin Bai watched this with satisfaction. In his eyes, Shen Nanxing was just foolish, not knowing how to keep a low profile. If it were him, he would’ve hidden the other person well. He thought that now that Fu Chengyu was embarrassed by Shen Nanxing, he was probably in a bad mood, and it was the perfect opportunity for him to gain favor.

Lin Bai made a call, speaking in a soft voice, “Chengyu, are you okay? I saw someone online said you had a quarrel with someone. Are you alright?”

Fu Chengyu had just argued with Xia Zimu and, having overused his voice, sounded hoarse. “A Bai, I’m fine.”

He looked at the bite marks on his arm left by Shen Nanxing but felt a bit pleased. Even though Shen Nanxing was indifferent towards him, for some reason, he felt that Shen Nanxing seemed more lively than before.

However, Lin Bai’s thoughtfulness in comforting him showed that his efforts over this period of time hadn’t been in vain. It seemed like he could win Lin Bai over soon. Thinking this, Fu Chengyu felt a surge of excitement. “A Bai, do you want to go out with me tonight?”

Lin Bai sounded a bit hesitant on the other end. “But I have a part-time job tonight.”

“I have something important to tell you. You have to come,” Fu Chengyu said, already planning to confess to Lin Bai tonight. He was confident that with his charm, he wouldn’t be rejected.

“What’s so important?” Lin Bai asked.

Fu Chengyu smiled mysteriously. “It’s a secret for now.”

“Okay, I’ll come.”

“Great, it’s settled then.”

“Xiao Nanxing, are you really not going to watch my competition this afternoon?”

After they finished eating, Xia Zimu asked again, unwilling to give up. Shen Nanxing shook his head firmly. “No.”

Xia Zimu looked at Shen Nanxing, who remained unmoved, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes. “Then I’m not going either. I just want to stay with you today.”

Shen Nanxing paused his drinking, “But isn’t this your favorite thing? Why aren’t you going?”

“You’re not going, so it’s meaningless.”

“Besides, I like you more.”

Shen Nanxing rolled his eyes helplessly. “Stop it. Do I really look that easy to fool?”

Xia Zimu looked at him with complete sincerity. “I’m being serious, okay? Fu Chengyu, that pretentious guy, doesn’t deserve you. He’s not as handsome as me, not as tall as me, doesn’t have as much muscle as I do, and the only thing he has over me is his family background, and even that’s just a little bit better. If my grandfather hadn’t been a step slower, it would have been you and me with the engagement!”

After saying that, Xia Zimu even rolled up his sleeves and flexed his muscles. “Xiao Nanxing, look at this, my muscles are real. A weakling like Fu Chengyu, I could knock him out with one punch. Think about it. Why not kick Fu Chengyu to the curb and let me take his place?”

Shen Nanxing: “……”

Their conversation happened to fall into Fu Zhiyuan’s ears.
