Chapter 36: The Weird Zeng Zhiseng!
Chapter 36: The Weird Zeng Zhiseng!
Another peaceful night passed just like that. Tang Chen did not know that he seemed to be targeted by someone. He put on his clothes and went out, went to a snack shop to eat breakfast, and then directly went to school.
Although Tang Chen was now so awesome, he always believed that it was still necessary to keep a low profile when needed, just like how he had always done.
On the way, Tang Chen first called Yang Mi. Yang Mi’s voice sounded a bit lazy on the other end, and she said to Tang Chen, “Tang Chen, you’re so early today?”
Tang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said, “Yang Mi, don’t tell me you were up all night missing me? Seems like you’re almost as late as me.”
“Ah? What? Oh no, I think I’m already late.” Yang Mi seemed to have just realized it and said somewhat dejectedly.
Tang Chen asked curiously, “Yang Mi, what exactly did you do last night? Why did you wake up so late today?”
Yang Mi smiled bitterly and said, “I was helping my mom pack up the stall last night, and on top of that, I had to do homework, so I didn’t sleep until after one o’clock.”
Tang Chen said sympathetically, “Big M, you really need to take good care of yourself. How about this, don’t rush since we’re already late. I’ll come find you now, and we can go together.”
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you outside my house.” Yang Mi did not object. Instead, she told Tang Chen her home address and then hung up.
Tang Chen put away his mobile phone and said to the System, “System, give me an Anywhere Door.”
System: “Respected Host, it seems you got the wrong script. This System is not Doraemon. I’m not giving you any damn Anywhere Door.”
Tang Chen felt frustrated and said unhappily, “You can even create Superman’s underwear for me, why can’t you give me an Anywhere Door?”
The System did not speak again, perhaps feeling that continuing to engage with Tang Chen would lower its IQ.
Tang Chen curled his lips and then got on a bus to go find Yang Mi.
Yang Mi’s family wasn’t very wealthy. Her father was a small business owner, and her mother would set up a stall on the street in the evening to sell some barbecue and such. Yang Mi was very sensible despite her young age. After school, she would always help her mother to lessen the burden.
Yang Mi’s home was at the entrance of an alley. Tang Chen immediately saw Yang Mi standing beautifully at the intersection waiting for him. He quickly ran over, hugged Yang Mi, and said cheesily, “Big M, I missed you.”
Yang Mi blushed and lightly punched Tang Chen’s chest with her hand, complaining, “You’re so annoying, don’t take advantage of me. This is right outside my house; it won’t look good if someone sees.”
Tang Chen also knew this girl was shy, so he didn’t do anything else to her. After letting her go, he began to look at what Yang Mi was wearing today. Yang Mi still went for the pure style today—a white long dress with a playful and cute bow tied in her hair. Her somewhat slender figure easily aroused others’ protective instincts, and with her chubby, baby-faced cheeks, she looked extremely adorable.
Tang Chen casually put his arm around Yang Mi’s shoulder and then turned to leave.
Yang Mi said to Tang Chen, “Tang Chen, let’s take the bus. We should hurry to school.”
Tang Chen said nonchalantly, “What’s the rush? We’re already late anyway, so let’s take our time.”
Yang Mi couldn’t do anything about him and said irritably, “You’re used to being late, so of course you’re not in a hurry. But I’m different. If I’m late, the homeroom teacher will probably call my mom.”
Tang Chen nodded lightly. They got on the bus and went to school. Twenty minutes later, the two arrived on campus. The campus was quiet, as if morning reading had already started.
Seeing Yang Mi’s anxious expression, Tang Chen said to her, “Yang Mi, you go to class first. I need to use the restroom.”
Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him, naturally able to tell that this guy just wanted to skip class. She didn’t insist and said to him, “Alright then, but don’t go causing trouble, okay? I’m leaving.” With that, she hurriedly ran towards her classroom.
Tang Chen awkwardly rubbed his nose. Cause trouble? Young Master never actively looked for trouble with others; it was always a bunch of idiots who came looking for trouble with Young Master.
“System, why aren’t you giving Young Master any missions anymore? Young Master is so bored.” Tang Chen said shamelessly to the System. Indeed, having grown accustomed to slapping faces and showing off, if he didn’t do it for a day, he felt uncomfortable.
System: “Respected Host, do you think this System’s missions are that easy? Take it slow.”
Tang Chen waved his hand dismissively and didn’t take it to heart. At that moment, a thin boy appeared in front of him, staring at him dazedly.
“Skinny Bamboo Pole, what the hell are you looking at Young Master for? Young Master’s orientation is perfectly normal.” Tang Chen said displeasedly to Zeng Zhiseng in front of him. Why was this guy looking at him as if he were looking at a beautiful woman?
Zeng Zhiseng withdrew his gaze and said excitedly to Tang Chen, “Big Brother, I really didn’t recognize your greatness yesterday. So you are the most awesome person in this school!”
Zeng Zhiseng was very excited. Yesterday, he heard from his classmates that the famous Zhang Ke got beaten up. Hearing this news, Zeng Zhiseng almost cried. That jerk Zhang Ke often bullied him, so hearing he got dealt with was really satisfying!
Not only that, he also heard that after the opponent beat Zhang Ke, they even forced Fang Wenxin, the boss of the Zhongmen Society, to come out. But Fang Wenxin didn’t come to seek revenge for Zhang Ke. Instead, in front of so many people, he respectfully called the other person Young Master Tang.
Zeng Zhiseng actually found it a bit hard to believe at first, because the Zhongmen Society was quite famous in the school, and its boss Fang Wenxin was a tough guy. How could he so willingly call someone Young Master Tang? More importantly, for someone whom Fang Wenxin would call Young Master Tang, just how awesome must that person be? The Hulk?
His classmate, seeing his disbelief, immediately took out his mobile phone and played a video for Zeng Zhiseng to see. After watching it, Zeng Zhiseng was completely stunned. On one hand, he really saw Zhang Ke get beaten and Fang Wenxin back down. More importantly, why did the guy who did the beating look so familiar?
He remembered—wasn’t this the guy he had used the “No Sons or Grandsons Leg” on not long ago? While impressed, Zeng Zhiseng also felt a bit scared. Luckily, the other party didn’t hold it against him; otherwise, even if he got beaten up, it would have been for nothing.
“Get lost!” Tang Chen knocked away the hands this kid was reaching out to hug him with and said domineeringly, “First of all, Young Master knows Young Master is awesome. Second, it’s not that you didn’t recognize Mount Tai—you’re just an idiot. Get lost before Young Master gets angry.”
Zeng Zhiseng wasn’t angry either; he still smiled. In his view, capable people deserved to have the right to be awesome. If Tang Chen weren’t this awesome, he wouldn’t have come looking for him.
“Big Brother, no, my lord, I beg you. Yesterday was my fault. I came to you sincerely; I want to follow you.” Zeng Zhiseng’s face was full of sincerity. In fact, he really meant it. He had thought it over—instead of being bullied every day, it was better to find a backer and bully others. But he didn’t know any of the other school bullies, so he had to shamelessly come find Tang Chen.
“Get lost! Young Master isn’t in the underworld; what the hell would you follow me for?” Tang Chen curled his lips disdainfully. Having too much personal charm was a problem—damn it, even men worshiped him like this.
If only you were a girl begging to be conquered or something—that would be great. But you’re a man, and Young Master hates men the most.
“Brother, I beg you!” Zeng Zhiseng was truly a Fighter Jet among the shameless. He directly knelt on the ground with a thud, grabbed Tang Chen’s pant leg to prevent him from leaving, and cried out with tears, “Brother, I’ve been weak since I was a child. In this school, I get bullied every day by some jerks. Finally, I met you, my savior. Brother, lord, please let me follow you. I can serve you tea and water, kneel and lick your shoes, do anything! I beg you!”
The yellow liquid flowing from his nose swung around, and he even rubbed it against Tang Chen’s pant leg. It was as disgusting as could be.
“Damn it, you’ve got me. I accept you.” Tang Chen was defeated. He directly kicked Zeng Zhiseng to the ground. Someone even more shameless than himself was truly a rare species.
