Chapter 1019 - Back To Shanghai (2/2)

“You don’t need to worry about it, Mom. They are all quite powerful cultivators,” replied Tang Xiu with a smile. “They won’t hurt themselves and such accidents won’t happen to them. Anyhow, I just came back and am going to campus after the meal, though. It’s September 10th today and I haven’t reported to the school yet.”

Su Lingyun gave a quick nod and said, “You’re indeed a few days late, Kid. You’re always too busy, but you can’t ruin your studies, alright?! Anyways, Mom will cook something for you now. You can go to your campus after the meal. And do remember to apologize to your professors!”

“Alright!” Tang Xiu nodded with a smile.

As Su Lingyun and Chen Xiaowan entered the villa and went straight to the kitchen to cook, Tang Xiu said to Tang 28’s group of five, “Remember not to easily reveal your daggers and offend people randomly from now on, got it? Also, Tang 28, you’re going to follow me in the future, while the four of you will stay here to watch the house. Keep in mind that you’re all cultivators and you’re not allowed to show your strength in front of common people.”

“Understood!” Tang 28’s team of five hurriedly complied.

During mealtime, Su Lingyun and Chen Xiaowan repeatedly asked Tang 28’s group to have a meal together, but the latter kept stubbornly refusing them. Even until the former gave them the dishes, they just carried their meals to their rooms and ate there. Certainly, Tang Xiu got another round of reprimands from Su Lingyun and Chen Xiowan because of it.

To skip around the predicament, Tang Xiu still used the sacred word of “custom and rules” and hurriedly left for Shanghai University after having a rushed meal. Just as he arrived at the campus gate, however, he saw some luxurious supercars vrooming and stopped near the campus gate with some arrogant young masters in gaudy fashions leaning on the cars, pointing and commenting on the girls who came in and out of the campus.

‘Haih, these silk pants keep spawning wherever and whenever.’

Tang Xiu shook his head and walked straight to the campus gate as troublesome things bumped into him.

“Mind helping me and lend me your cell phone for a second, handsome?” Several girls donning infamous brand attire and apparent make-up blocked Tang Xiu’s path. The leader of the girls acted even bolder by grabbing his hands.

“You’re all belles, yet you’re striking up a chat by calling me handsome?” Tang Xiu forced a wry smile. “Asking some guy’s cell phone number is a bit of an outdated trick, no?”

“Got no other way, handsome!” The girl laughed and said, “A beau suddenly came into our sight and made us excited, so no time to think about any new ideas to strike. Just give us your cell number, handsome. If you got some spare time, we want you to have a meal with us.”

“I already have a girlfriend, so no thanks.” Refused Tang Xiu smilingly.

The girl was stunned and looked somewhat disappointed. “That’s fine either way, though. You got a girlfriend or not, for couples to break up is just normal nowadays, right? No walls can last forever and no boyfriend can’t be snatched in this world. Besides, you’re not married yet. It’s not like it’s immoral to pursue the man we like, no?”

This time, Tang Xiu was utterly dumbfounded and couldn’t help laughing. He just didn’t expect that the girls nowadays would be this bold and so thick-skinned. He recalled the time when he was in mid-school when boys and girls didn’t have many contacts. Even when he was in elementary school, there was a demarcation line between the desks for male and female students.

Shortly after, Tang Xiu gave them a fake cell number and then took his out-of-battery cell phone out to show them, earning himself a smooth escape at the exchange of their dissatisfied expressions.

As he came to the dorm, he was quite surprised to see nobody there. No trace of Yue Kai and Hu Qingsong. But there should be no class at this time, so they shouldn’t be grabbing a bite either even if they went out.

“Shoot! Here comes the rare guest!”

When Tang Xiu pushed the unlocked dorm’s door facing his and went inside, Zhao Liang, who was listening to songs with earphones, suddenly had his eyes lit up. He grinned widely and removed the earphones.

“I’m just a few days late to report to campus. No need to make a fuss over it, no?” Tang Xiu grinned back and said, “Anyways, where are Yue Kai and the rest? I just went to my dorm and none of them were there.”

“Hehe, you got no idea, don’t you Big Bro Tang?” Zhao Liang grinningly replied, “That bastard Yue Kai and the others got nothing to do and just ran to the girls’ sorority house. I heard that they are helping Hu Qingsong to pursue a first-year girl. I guess they must be going to that girl’s dorm now.”

“Ah, so Old Hu has his hormones in heat now?” asked Tang Xiu grinningly.

“It’s not just him, so is Yue Kai. Speaking of it, we got tons of belles among the freshmen this year. Some of them are damn top chicks! They may not compare to the Campus Belles, but damn… they are not that far off either.”

“Haha… cut the crap, will you? Anyways, I’m going out to find them,” said Tang Xiu with a grin.

Zhao Liang hurriedly stopped Tang Xiu and let out a strange smirk. “Ehh? No way. You can’t go out, Big Bro Tang. Otherwise…”

“Huh? Otherwise what?” Tang Xiu was confused.

“Otherwise things will go south for Old Hu.” Zhao Liang laughed and said, “Your charm index has kinda broken the roof of our campus, you see. You’re at the top of the Campus Beau list now. With you going out, Old Hu and the rest won’t catch the girls they have a crush on and it will be you who’ll get some peach blossoms yet again instead.”

Cough, cough…

No matter how reluctant Tang Xiu was to admit it, he was well aware that he was a bit of a flower admirer. Regardless, he already had many women now and didn’t want to court other women anymore, be it intentionally or unintentionally.
