17 Hero to the Rescue (1/2)

Chen Fan looked toward the entrance, and he saw a slender boy carrying a shoulder bag standing on the threshold. His long hair band fell loosely over his forehead, covering one of his eyes. However, the hair was not able to conceal his elegant and well-defined face.

”Come on in.”

Xue Hanzhi said with a smile; a rare sight on her hard face.

The boy was the best student and had earned many prizes during the national math competition. He was already guaranteed to be admitted to the Qing Hua University. Therefore, although he was late for class, Xue Hanzhi did not mind the minor faux pas at all.

The handsome teenager walked across the classroom, soaking in the adoring gazes from girls.

The sight of the boy also heightened the spirit of the class leader, Chang Wen. She glued her eyes on the beautiful boy, and infatuation was written all over her face.

”This guy is not only handsome but was also extremely smart! He achieved the best score in every single exam. What's even more infuriating was that he never studies! Like, NEVER! He could spend the night before the exam in the web-cafe playing Dota and still get an A+ on the exam.” Jiang Tanqiu said bitterly.

”He also plays the vanguard on the school basketball team. Most of the girl who joined the cheerleaders did so because of him and Yang Chao.”

After he had finished his rant, Jiang Tanqiu heaved a sigh and then said, ”Fortunately, he likes Miss Xu, and all the girls knew it. Otherwise, we would never get a chance at any of the girls.”

Chen Fan's lips curled into a smile.

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't take his words seriously, Jiang Tanqiu shot him a hot glance and asked: ”You don't seem to care that much about Si Yinxia, do you?”

Chen Fan said faintly: ”Why should I?”

In Chen Fan's past life, Si Ying Xia was the most popular boy in the entire twelfth grade. Just like Jiang Tanqiu, Chen Fan had also envied him greatly. However, he was a different person now, and in his eyes, Si Yingxia was no different than anyone else. His old friend Jiang Tanqiu, on the other hand, was much closer to his heart than Si Yinxia.

”Buzz off. Are you always so pretentious and cocky?” Jiang Tanqiu complained. ”I don't like him either, but at least I admit that he is talented in his own right.”

Chen Fan cracked a smile and did not respond.

Jiang Tanqiu furrowed his brow as he felt this new boy was arrogant. However, he kept his opinion to himself.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Therefore, Chen Fan's high school life had finally begun.

Since he was a transfer student and was very quiet, most of his classmates didn't pay much attention to him. Chang Wen had taken the new boy's reticence as shyness and thought that he was a push-over; therefore she had assigned Chen Fan cleaning duties that no one wanted to take on, such as sweeping the floor and so on.

Unlike the twelfth grade in the public schools, The Ivy League High School let the students off school very early. Academic achievement was not the only method for success for these privileged teenagers from rich families. Many had already decided to study abroad as soon as the high school was over. They had many more options and much less pressure compared to normal high school students.

On one evening—like many evenings before it—Chen Fan walked along the lakeside path toward home after he had finished the cleaning duty. Suddenly, he heard a faint cry for help.

Chen Fan furrowed his brows and dashed toward the patch of cattails where the distress cry came from.

When he was close enough, he saw a man in his thirties, wearing a patched camouflage coat and he had pressed a woman under his chest. One of his hands covered the woman's mouth, trying to suppress her cries. The woman's clothes were in tatters; she waved two naked arms helplessly in the air, struggling to break free from the man's hold.

”Stop!” Chen Fan shouted.

The man was startled. With only the slightest hesitation, he let go of the woman and ran away.

Chen Fan snorted; Using his toes, he flicked a piece of stone off the ground and kicked it. The stone shot toward the man like a bullet and landed squarely on his back.

”OUCH!” The man screamed and fell to the ground. With great pain and difficulty, he managed to get back on his feet and ran away.
