Chapter 20 (2/2)

“Look, he’s blushing!”

“Tsk, tsk. Are you a virgin? Could have fooled me.” A girl wearing a short skirt said while deliberately rubbing her ample bosom on Nie Fan’s arm.

His face turned a total crimson at those words, and his head might as well be blowing out smoke.

What is this place, a cave of succubus?

Naturally, the ones really flirting were just a handful—the other girls were not that direct.

“Hey, hey, hey! Are you guys done? Then go home and flirt away.” Lin Xinyan scolded with her hands on her hips, before squeezing her way into the crowd and shielded Nie Fan from the front, her bold and impressive look surprising everyone.

“Come on, Xinyan. Let your cousin have a chat with us.”

“Yeah! Don’t be so dull.”

“Keep dreaming, all of you.”

Lin Xinyan frowned, before turning to Nie Fan and hissed quietly, “Hurry up, let’s go!”

With that, she pulled him toward the direction of the classroom.

Some of the girls pouted unhappily, but could only watch as Lin Xinyan dragged Nie Fan away.

“Why did you catch so much attention? Look, now you have a bunch of troublesome women all over you.” She grumbled.

“Well, I didn’t know that the other girls in your school are so passionate. That said, their figures are quite fine.” Nie Fan sniggered, suddenly feeling a heavy blow on his leg and was left gritting his teeth in pain.

Lin Xinyan was flashing a false smile. “Tell me. Which of them has the better figure?”

“I mean that they have fine figures, but they are very much lacking compared to you.” Nie Fan quickly corrected himself, albeit suddenly realizing that he might have added a little tease since he did see her naked.

Lin Xinyan clearly thought of that too, but snorted even as her cheeks became a little hot. “Try to be discreet in school from now on, or I’m telling daddy not only did you not protect me at school, you’re flirting everywhere and ignoring my wellbeing.”

“I was wrong. Won’t do it ever again,” Nie Fan said sullenly. Having basically thought of Uncle Lin as his own father, Lin Xinyan’s coercing him with Uncle Lin was definitely no different from grabbing his weakness.

“At least you understand.” Lin Xinyan found his sullen face rather funny.

It seems that only her dad could keep him on a leash.

News that an auditing student from Class One, Year Three had tormented Xu Hong on the basketball court soon spread across the school, with several busybodies recording the match between Nie Fan and Xu Hong’s teams, and those footages had quickly circulated even if everyone was avoiding using Xu Hong’s name like it was taboo. Having considered himself the only one suitable to woo Lin Xinyan, Xu Hong had made every other one of her admirers suffer and as such the hate against him was only imaginable. Still, no one could have expected that someone would finally stand up against him—and it was Lin Xinyan’s cousin no less, immediately making Nie Fan an idol in the hearts of many.

He had always kept a low profile back at Ningdong and rarely got into disputes, having no presence of existence at all to most of his classmates. He naturally was a little caught off guard, never imagining that he would suddenly be making waves after coming here. It was therefore fortunate that he wasn’t a student here and could come and go as he wanted, so it would be fine to stir some trouble.

That being said, that lass Lin Xinyan was being quite strict with him.

After the match, Xu Hong did not attend any other class. Each lesson was therefore peaceful, with Nie Fan feeling very comfortable. Still, many other students would come to talk to him during breaks, some of them girls who were rather good-looking. Be that as it may, Nie Fan would only respond nonchalantly and did not say particularly much, because he could see Lin Xinyan frequently shooting him death glares.

When the day’s classes were over, Nie Fan, Lin Xinyan and Xu Xiaoshuang walked together to the underground car depot.

“Cousin, Xinyan was saying she will introduce you a girlfriend.” Xu Xiaoshuang grinned mischievously then.

“Really? Who?” Nie Fan chuckled—there wasn’t a moment when Xu Xiaoshuang was actually serious, and he was already used to it.

“Me! What do you think? When it comes to looks, I only lose out a little compared to Xinyan in our class, but that wouldn’t disqualify me, and I’m quite confident with my figure too! So? Why not think about it?” Xu Xiaoshuang assumed a model pose where she stood. Even if she was a little short, her curves were dainty and distinct, and she certainly had the talent for further growth as a beauty.

“Alright, stop that posing. When did I ever say that I would introduce my cousin to you?” Beside them, Lin Xinyan could no longer bear to watch—Xu Xiaoshuang was indeed a beauty and had her own suitors in class, which in turn pressured her slightly. Even if she wasn’t really sure that she liked Nie Fan, she definitely thought well of him.

“But you just promised a moment ago!” Xu Xiaoshuang said and stared at Lin Xinyan with much grief, as if Xinyan had really said it.

“I never said that!” Lin Xinyan roared like a lioness.

“Fine, we’ll pretend you didn’t.” Suddenly shifting her tone, Xu Xiaoshuang simply flashed a flirty wink at Nie Fan. “I’m going home, but come look for me when you’ve made up your mind.

“I’m dying here.” Lin Xinyan was stamping her feet, but Xu Xiaoshuang had already turned and left.

Nie Fan grinned. Even if she often bickered with Lin Xinyan, he must say that Xu Xiaoshuang was quite interesting, although he certainly would not take her words seriously.

As he looked up some distance away, he found Xu Xiaoshuang getting into a Maserati convertible, its engine bellowing as it left.

Even the worst car in the depot was a luxury salon—no ordinary family could afford school fees that numbered up to a few hundred thousand after all. That was why Nie Fan believed that he would never be a suitable partner for girls like Lin Xinyan and Xu Xiaoshuang who had it all. Indeed, his greatest dream was to accomplish his father’s will and clear his family’s debts. After that, he would get himself a lady who was gentle, caring but did not have to be especially good-looking, and live a quiet, peaceful life.
