Chapter 92: Three Women Made A Scene

The coming of spring seemed a bit hasty. Just after the first lunar month, the weather already held a hint of warmth.

The students on campus could not wait to shed their thick, bulky winter clothes. They wore only sweaters and thin jackets, releasing the vitality and passion of youth.

Afternoon.

In the windless weather, the warm sunshine fell on people. It inevitably made them feel the languidness of spring drowsiness and autumn fatigue ahead of time. So, one by one, they listlessly and without energy went back to their dorms to lie in bed, or put their heads down on classroom desks for a sweet nap.

In the classroom of Senior One Class One, Su Chunfeng was solving problems seriously.

Although he only slept six hours a day due to his morning training practice, the high-quality sleep and rest from practicing Esoteric Technique kept his mental state far better than his classmates.

After the winter break started, Su Chunfeng continued his peaceful, uneventful school life.

However, right at the beginning of the semester, Qian Ming, who was anxious to find a master, worriedly and eagerly sought him out once. He asked how to find that old, reclusive expert Wang Qimin, who had already started traveling far and wide and was not even home, not even during the New Year. Su Chunfeng was also at a loss about this. How would he know where Wang Qimin had gone? But outwardly, he calmly told Qian Ming, “This means the master-disciple fate between you and Wang Qimin hasn’t arrived yet. Just wait a bit longer.”

Qian Ming nearly cried.

Cultivation itself was hard work, extremely time-consuming. How long would he have to wait for a result? What if Wang Qimin never came back in his whole life? What would he do then?

Fortunately, Su Chunfeng saw how sincere he was and took pity on him. He explained the distinctions between cultivation realms and the steps and key points during the breakthrough process. Then he gave some brief pointers, telling Qian Ming to continue practicing and solidifying his foundation at the early stage of the Talisman Offering realm for now.

Thus, he sent Qian Ming away.

However, Qian Ming was extremely excited. After cultivating for so long, there were too many things he didn’t understand and couldn’t figure out. Su Chunfeng’s few pointers alone gave him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

“Chunfeng…”

Wang Haifei’s call came from outside. Su Chunfeng turned to look and saw Wang Haifei wave at the classroom door, only to be pulled down the steps and away by Zhang Lifei, who looked somewhat shy and displeased. Su Chunfeng stood up and walked out, puzzled. “Why is Zhang Lifei here?”

Right in front of them, a few meters down from the classroom steps, next to the flower bed planted with evergreens, Wang Haifei and Zhang Lifei stood chatting and laughing softly, occasionally glancing toward Su Chunfeng who emerged from the classroom.

“Lifei, why are you here?” Su Chunfeng asked with a smile as he walked forward.

“Hmph!” Zhang Lifei pulled a long face and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Su Chunfeng felt confused and looked at Wang Haifei with a questioning gaze. Wang Haifei lightly bit her lip and shrugged her shoulders, showing a helpless yet mischievously gleeful smile. So Su Chunfeng could only give a self-deprecating smile and said, “Alright, fine. I have no tact. I shouldn’t disturb you two.” After saying this, he turned to go back to the classroom.

“Hey! Su Chunfeng!” Zhang Lifei hurriedly called out.

“Hmm?” Su Chunfeng stopped and turned to look at Zhang Lifei.

“You… you’re really annoying! Hmph!” Zhang Lifei stomped her foot angrily. “Do you even consider me a friend or not? Heartless and careless.”

Su Chunfeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What did I do?”

“You… after I left last year, why didn’t you come find me to hang out?” Zhang Lifei said angrily. “Also, during the winter break, all that time over the New Year, you didn’t come find me to play either! You didn’t call me, you didn’t write me any letters! Is that any way to be a friend? Do you even have me in your heart at all?”

“That matter…” Su Chunfeng laughed. So that was the root of the problem. He explained with a smile, “First, I didn’t know the exact address to write to. Second, I didn’t dare call your home, let alone go to your house to find you. After all, you’re a girl and I’m a boy. Going to your house, I was afraid of getting beaten up.”

Zhang Lifei said angrily, “It’s not like you don’t know my dad. What are you afraid of?”

Su Chunfeng immediately said seriously, “Lifei, you have to understand, men and women shouldn’t be too close, and gossip is frightening… For your reputation, I absolutely cannot go to your house to find you to play, to avoid the neighbors gossiping. Hey, don’t not believe me. Ask Haifei. Have I ever gone to her house to find her to play?”

“Oh, get lost! Annoying!” Zhang Lifei couldn’t help but laugh, then pouted in a somewhat coquettish manner. “Our school has a one-day holiday today, but I have to return to school in the evening. Keep me company and chat with me this afternoon, alright?”

Su Chunfeng smiled. “We still have classes. We can chat during break.”

“Ah.” Zhang Lifei became a bit sad. “How about this? On the weekend, Haifei and I will go to your house to play, okay?”

“No problem…” Su Chunfeng agreed right away.

The three of them didn’t notice that on the steps at the entrance of the Class One classroom, Huang Yiyu was standing there holding two books, her pretty brows slightly furrowed as she looked at them. When she walked over just now and saw Su Chunfeng chatting and laughing with Zhang Lifei and Wang Haifei, she inexplicably felt some unhappiness in her heart.

Huang Yiyu thought, Su Chunfeng having one girlfriend was bad enough, but how did he get another girlfriend who was so pretty, lively, and cute? And judging by how close they seemed…

Hmph!

The reason for Su Chunfeng’s declining grades was because of puppy love, and h-he even had two girlfriends! It was simply shameless! Currently the study committee member of Class One, Huang Yiyu tilted her head, held back her anger, and called out, “Su Chunfeng, the class blackboard newspaper needs to be changed. Come here for a moment. Let’s discuss how to handle the next blackboard newspaper together…”

“Oh.” Su Chunfeng replied with a smile. “After school this afternoon. I don’t have time right now.”

“And you have time to chat with your girlfriends?” Huang Yiyu said angrily.

Su Chunfeng was taken aback.

Wang Haifei’s face immediately flushed with shyness.

After all, at the classroom door, right in front of many students, Huang Yiyu straightforwardly scolded Su Chunfeng for chatting with his girlfriends. It really made people feel embarrassed.

“Hey! Who are you?” Zhang Lifei glared at Huang Yiyu angrily. “Mind your own business!”

Huang Yiyu gave an arrogant smile. Click-clack, she walked down the steps. Her tall stature gave her a natural advantage as she looked down at Zhang Lifei and Wang Haifei. “I am Huang Yiyu, the study committee member of Class One. I have the authority to supervise every classmate’s learning situation. And you, who are you? I haven’t seen you before. From outside the school, right?”

Zhang Lifei chuckled, completely unfazed by Huang Yiyu’s arrogant attitude and her veiled, contemptuous mockery. She looked at Huang Yiyu without fear and said sarcastically, “Oh, the study committee member is such a big official! You really think you can use a chicken feather as an arrow of command, huh? You really think you’re something special?”

“You…”

“So what?” Zhang Lifei said proudly, shaking her head. “You’re right. I am Su Chunfeng’s girlfriend. I want him to chat with me, and he’s willing to chat with me. So what? Are you jealous?”

Huang Yiyu had never encountered a girl who simply didn’t take her seriously, who was sharp-tongued and dared to talk back to her like this. She immediately trembled with anger, pointed at Zhang Lifei and scolded, “You, you have no shame!”

“You’re the one with no shame!” Zhang Lifei put her hands on her hips. “Su Chunfeng already said he doesn’t have time right now, he’ll discuss the blackboard newspaper with you after school this afternoon. Where is it your place to open your mouth and scold someone for chatting with his girlfriend? I say you’re jealous and trying to be a homewrecker and steal someone else’s boyfriend. Would you like that?”

“I…”

“I’ve never seen a shrew as unreasonable as you!”

Zhang Lifei was never a meek person by nature. Although her family was well-off, she grew up in the countryside after all. Surrounded by it, she was quite influenced by the skill of rural women in quarreling, reaching a masterful level. Added to her quick tongue, how could Huang Yiyu, raised with strict family discipline, compete? Moreover, Huang Yiyu was already in the wrong to begin with.

The sudden quarrel caught Su Chunfeng, who was caught in the middle, completely off guard. His head was spinning.

What did I do? Who did I offend?

Seeing Zhang Lifei and Huang Yiyu arguing like this, looking like they might start fighting any moment, Su Chunfeng angrily shouted, “Enough! What’s all this noise?”

The two girls immediately shut up. Both glared angrily at each other, then looked at Su Chunfeng, waiting for him to decide.

“Huang Yiyu, please go back to the classroom first.” Su Chunfeng sighed helplessly and explained, “This is my good friend. She goes to Municipal No.1 High School. She barely got a chance to come to the school. I’m just keeping her company for a chat… The blackboard newspaper isn’t urgent. We’ll talk about it later, okay?”

“Hmph!” Huang Yiyu stamped her foot, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears. However, knowing she was in the wrong and couldn’t win the argument, here finally was a way to back down. She immediately turned and walked toward the classroom. “I won’t stoop to her level.”

Zhang Lifei was about to retort, but Su Chunfeng interrupted her, gently half-encircling and half-pushing her shoulder as he smiled and advised, “Alright now, you little troublemaker. Don’t go on and on. Come on, let’s go for a walk on the playground and chat.”

“Lifei, come on.” Wang Haifei also urged.

Only then did Zhang Lifei lightly bite her lip, tilt her head triumphantly, and through the window of the Class One classroom, she gave a provocative look toward Huang Yiyu inside, who was glaring out angrily. Then, as if victorious, she turned and followed Wang Haifei and Su Chunfeng toward the playground. As she walked, she said, “Su Chunfeng, who was that vixen just now? What exactly is your relationship with her?”

“What nonsense are you talking?” Su Chunfeng frowned and scolded.

“Don’t play dumb!” Zhang Lifei absolutely did not buy Su Chunfeng’s act. She waved her small fist threateningly. “If I find out you have eyes for someone else, you’ll be sorry!”

What kind of mess is all this?

Su Chunfeng shook his head, helplessly laughing, and ignored Zhang Lifei.

Ever since the semester started, Su Chunfeng’s impression of Huang Yiyu was actually quite good. At least in front of him, this girl who excelled in every aspect never again put on that arrogant attitude. As classmates sitting front and back, Huang Yiyu also often took the initiative to discuss study problems with Su Chunfeng. Their relationship was fairly harmonious.

But Su Chunfeng never expected that such a ridiculous thing would happen out of the blue today.
