When he woke up the next day, Ji Wenfeng was a brave man again. He refused to stay quiet for a moment and pestered Lu Rong to find out the whereabouts of the adulterer Liang Wendao.
Lu Rong had already made up his mind, refusing to give in. Brushing his teeth in front of the mirror, he said calmly, “What adulterer? There wasn’t one.”
Ji Wenfeng brushed his teeth alongside him, his face grim. “No adulterer! Did I electrocute myself yesterday?!”
Lu Rong stared at him in astonishment. “You touched the outlet with your finger yesterday, and it numbed you. I rescued you and took you to the hospital, and you’re still accusing me… Da Lang, you’re hallucinating!”
Ji Wenfeng was furious. “If my finger had touched the outlet, I’d have been burned to ashes. How could I just be hallucinating? We’ll study physics and English together from now on.”
Lu Rong quickly pushed him out the door with both hands. “It’s getting late, Da Lang, go out and sell sesame cakes.” With that, he slammed the door shut.
Ji Wenfeng cursed and cursed, then went back to his room, changed into his school uniform, and went downstairs to help the cook take the egg-filled cakes to the dining room and set the dishes one by one.
Ji Tong saw Ji Wenfeng preparing breakfast for everyone, a rare occasion, and said with a smile, “Hey, what’s wrong today?”
Ji Wenfeng said angrily, “Sir, egg cakes are two yuan each.”
Ji Tong: “……?”
Ji Tong searched around and finally found two coins to give him. Ji Wenfeng accepted them resentfully, shoving them into his school uniform pocket.
Ji Tong couldn’t help but press his shoulder: “Are you short on money lately?”
Ji Wenfeng’s muscles stiffened, his eyelids twitched, and his right hand couldn’t help but curl up like a chicken claw.
Ji Tong was shocked: “Xiao Feng! What’s wrong with you!”
Ji Wenfeng was afraid that he and Lu Rong looked like they were having an affair last night, and that the third party had not only cheated but also attracted him. He forced himself to remain calm and said to his father, “I’m Da Lang, basic operation.” With that, he squatted and walked back to the kitchen with bow legs.
Fang Qing, who had just come downstairs, saw this strange scene: “…What’s wrong with Xiao Feng?”
Ji Tong: “He said he was Da Lang.”
Fang Qing: “Huh? What Da Lang?”
Ji Tong: “He sells cakes and is disabled, so he must be Wu Dalang[1].”
Fang Qing: “It’s good that the child has a talent for acting, but why does he have to play Wu Dalang? Don’t most boys want to play the Monkey King?”
Ji Tong poked the cake worriedly: “I really hope that Xiao Feng will inherit the company and become the president, but he seems to be disabled and mentally ill. My son…he really worries me. Maybe he can only be an actor.”
After hearing this, Lu Rong quickly sent a WeChat message to Ji Wenfeng: “What did you do in front of your parents?”
Ji Wenfeng: “Selling cakes.”
Lu Rong: “Come back and eat!”
Ji Wenfeng: “No, I haven’t sold all my cakes yet.”
Lu Rong: “Then you don’t want to eat?!”
Ji Wenfeng: “It doesn’t matter, I’ll just have a few bites of cake when I’m hungry.”
Lu Rong: “…”
Ji Wenfeng loves to act too much, what can I do!
After the two finished their meal, they got into Lao Song’s car. Lao Song saw Ji Wenfeng in the rearview mirror and snorted.
Ji Wenfeng thought about what happened last night and was furious. But he was busy searching for any trace of his adulterer, Liang Wendao, so he forced himself to control his emotions as he interrogated Lao Song carefully: “You were the one who took me to the hospital last night.”
Lao Song lowered his brows and said, “…Yes, puff.”
Ji Wenfeng: “Then you also carried me out of Rong Rong’s room?”
Lao Song: “Yes, the Second Young Master called and asked me to go up and carry you, puff.”
Ji Wenfeng glanced at Lu Rong. There was a glint in Lu Rong’s eyes, but he remained calm and composed, with the demeanor and grace of a generation of seductive women as he said, “So what if I cheated on you?”
Ji Wenfeng continued to question Lao Song: “Did you see a boy in my room at that time? He was about 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as Rong Rong, as thin as a stick, wearing a suit, carrying a small suitcase, and with hair wax on his head.”
Lao Song thought for a moment: “No, puff.”
Lu Rong smiled. When he called Lao Song, he had already hidden Liang Wendao behind the curtains.
Ji Wenfeng gritted his teeth secretly, and continued to ask while leaning on the back seat of Lao Song’s car: “Really?”
Lao Song: “When I went in, only you and the second young master were in the room, haha.”
Ji Wenfeng slowly sat back in the back seat of the car, crossed his long legs with a serious expression, and glanced coldly at the secretly complacent Lu Rong with his slender eyebrows, and noticed the subtle arc of his mouth.
Ji Wenfeng was furious and grabbed his chin: “Witch, you colluded with the adulterer and the coachman to deceive me!”
Lu Rong said calmly: “As I said, you stuck your hand into the socket and got electrocuted.”
Ji Wenfeng said “oh”, stroked the corner of his lips, his eyes gradually deepening: “Hey, tell me, I am deceived by you like this all day long, do you even consider me your legitimate husband?”
Lu Rong brushed his hand away: “Have you sold out the cakes?”
Ji Wenfeng: “…No.”
Lu Rong: “Haha, useless man.”
Lao Song glanced at the two teenagers who had started to make noise again in the rearview mirror, and couldn’t help asking: “Young Master, there is something I have always wanted to ask-why were you in the second young master’s room last night, puchi.”
Ji Wenfeng: “…”
Ji Wenfeng showing the style of the eldest young master, said: “Do you think I didn’t hear you laughing at every word you said today? Drive your car well!”
When he arrived at the school, Ji Wenfeng didn’t even have time to put down his schoolbag, as he went to look everywhere for Liang Wendao, the adulterer.
Liang Wendao wanted to run for the position of the Minister of Study of the Student Union. He was thus canvassing for votes in other classes and was surrounded by a large group of people chatting and laughing.
Today, Liang Wendao wore new sneakers to school, which caused a sensation in the whole school and his popularity soared.
Classmate A: “Academic God, are these shoes on your feet the same pair of Lightning?!”
Liang Wendao pretended to casually touch his feet and glanced down: “Yeah, it seems so.”
Classmate B: “Awesome! I saw the price, I can’t afford it even if I was sold!”
Classmate A: “Not only can I not afford it, but I can’t buy it even if I have money! The academic god is worthy of being an academic god!”
Liang Wendao laughed and said calmly: “Oh? Is that so? I don’t quite understand.” In fact, he had seen it hundreds of times on the Internet and had fantasized about it from the first grade of junior high school to high school. He even wanted to stand upside down and walk on his hands when he put them on. “Someone gave me these as a gift.”
Classmate A: “Given?! Someone gave you these Lightning Bolts?!”
Liang Wendao hummed calmly, “He said I’m going to participate in the National Mathematical Olympiad, and he wants me to wear these Lightning Bolts to receive the award and bring honor to Chengnan.”
Classmate A was envious: “The academic god is worthy of being the academic god! Even the gifts given by others are so high-end and generous!”
Classmate B was more perceptive: “She gave such a big gift in one go and even said in a roundabout way that it was to encourage the academic god to win the award. I seriously suspect that she wants to pursue you!”
When he said this, the others immediately realized this and started to make a fuss –
“Who is spending a lot of money to pursue the academic god?”
“Is she beautiful?”
“Well, putting aside whether she is beautiful or not, this gesture of spending a lot of money and the attitude of pursuing people tirelessly, I think it’s okay! Nowadays, young ladies are all arrogant and need to be pursued. A rich lady who is humble like this, the academic god, you deserve it!”
Liang Wendao said: “Uh…” Why did the style change so suddenly!
But the style had changed so suddenly that it could not be reversed. Gossip surged in all directions like a tide.
“The academic god has a wife, a beautiful, wealthy young lady. She invested in his research career without regrets!”
“When will the academic god bring his goddess to us?”
“When will they get married, and when will they have kids? Are you planning on competing with Squad Leader Ji to see who can have two children in three years first?”
“Hey, the academic god is truly the academic god. He’s got great grades, and everything’s going well for him. He even got full marks for his lifelong destiny. He’s truly the Wenqu Star[2] from heaven! Vote for him, vote for him!”
Liang Wendao said, “…”
He was about to argue, but when he saw more and more people willingly filling him in as “Minister of Study,” he swallowed his words.
Teenagers were all about showing off, especially when it brought them tangible benefits.
…Just pretend I have a girlfriend from a wealthy family. It will effectively boost my popularity and seems to perfectly prove I’m a good student, making me unstoppable in the election for Minister of Study!
After all, no one knew it was the boss who gave him the lightning bolt. He would just pretend he had a wealthy girlfriend.
Speak of the devil, and here came Lu Rong’s call. The people around him started to jeer, “Is the goddess here?!”
Liang Wendao: “Haha, hahahaha…” What’s going on with this forbidden paradox of stealing feelings?! He secretly picked up the phone and said an unnatural “Hello.”
Lu Rong: “Ji Wenfeng is coming to find you. You must insist you weren’t there last night.”
Although he had deceived Ji Wenfeng in the car, he knew Ji Wenfeng would not give up. He would definitely make trouble for Liang Wendao as soon as he arrived at school, so he called Liang Wendao in advance to warn him to hide.
Liang Wendao: “Huh?” Why does it really seem like they are having an affair…
Lu Rong: “1. Let’s not do his VIP order. Returning the money and breaking the contract is a big scandal. We have to pretend nothing happened; 2. You electrocuted him, do you remember?! What can you do if you can’t even remember what you did! 3. He can kill an adult with one punch.”
Liang Wendao was shocked, looking at Ji Wenfeng who was striding towards him at the end of the corridor. He had a handsome face, but a huge fist: “He… he really came to my door.”
Lu Rong: “Don’t panic, hold him back! I’ll let him think he was hallucinating. He wasn’t sure you’d called him last night, and he had no evidence. Just tell him you stayed home last night and didn’t leave the house at all.”
Liang Wendao said, “What if I can’t fool him?”
Lu Rong pondered for a moment. “Then say something to him.”
Liang Wendao said, “What?”
Lu Rong demanded sharply, “Da Lang, have you sold all the cakes?!”
Liang Wendao asked, his face quizzical: “Huh?!”
Lu Rong said, “Yes, just say that, and you’ll be able to stop the rampaging Ji Wenfeng!” He hung up the phone.
Liang Wendao looked at Ji Wenfeng, who had already walked up to him, and swallowed.
Boss, what a man he couldn’t figure out!
I hope the boss’s sleeping spell works…
Everyone was gathering around Liang Wendao to congratulate him when Ji Wenfeng, school uniform in one hand, strode through the crowd with long legs, gracefully approaching and standing before Liang Wendao.
A momentary silence fell.
The usually lazy school hunk now had a stern expression, a chill emanating from his body, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
Liang Wendao, a prominent figure in Chengnan, was determined not to be outshined by the school hunk in this moment of public attention.
He had just received the boss’s patronizing words, which emboldened him. Even though Ji Wenfeng was feared and he had even given him a shock, he knew that if the boss said he was fine, then he was fine. The boss would definitely protect them all! This was something Liang Wendao had firmly believed since the first day he joined the All Villain Group!
Therefore, Liang Wendao, bracing himself to his full potential, instead of retreating, puffed out his chest, and maintained his academic god demeanor.
In the early morning corridor, the school hunk and the academic deity exchanged sharp glances.
A passing All Villain, Li Nanbian, casually switched on “Megola Box,” blasting the boxing ring battle background music.
“You, where were you last night?” Ji Wenfeng took off his headphones and hung them around his neck, lighting a cigarette in a lazy manner.
Liang Wendao said calmly: “At home.”
“At home?” Ji Wenfeng moved his thin lips, sneered with a cigarette in his mouth, “Then why did I see you at my house?”
Liang Wendao seemed to have met not the school hunk, but the school bully, but then he thought, damn, I, Liang Wendao, am the one who committed the crime! He mustered up the courage to pretend: “Haha, why would I go to your house?”
“That’s what I was going to ask.” Ji Wenfeng tilted his head slightly, and his eyes suddenly became like a knife blade, “My wife is beautiful, but did I allow you to look at her?”
Liang Wendao: “……?” Did I look at your wife? I was obviously looking at my boss!
Liang Wendao looked aggrieved, and the onlookers chimed in.
Classmate A: “Class monitor Ji, this is probably a misunderstanding. The academic god has a girlfriend.”
Classmate B: “Yes, yes, his girlfriend is a daughter from a wealthy family. She is beautiful and considerate. She is a perfect match for the academic god and he will not steal your wife.”
Classmate C: “His wife just gave him a pair of big lightning shoes worth more than 20,000 yuan to encourage him to compete for the national Olympic championship!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Wenfeng’s body stiffened and he lowered his head to glance at Liang Wendao’s brand new sneakers – this was clearly the pair of big lightning shoes that Lu Rong bought with him when they were in Hong Kong!
He waited every day for Rong Rongg to give it to him, and even the flowers withered, but Rong Rong actually gave it to Liang Wendao!
He was not playing Wu Dalang! He was the real Wu Dalang!
When Ji Wenfeng looked up again, his eyes were bloodshot: “How did you get it…”
Liang Wendao was eager to clarify: “Uh… Big Lightning? My girlfriend gave it to me.”
Ji Wenfeng threw away the school uniform in his hand, put the cigarette between his fingertips into his mouth, took a deep puff, and then suddenly grabbed Liang Wendao’s collar: “Who the hell is your girlfriend?!”
Liang Wendao seemed to have returned to his miserable childhood when he was bullied by a gang of school bullies. In an emergency, he remembered the boss’s face and his earnest advice!
When Ji Wenfeng raised his fist, he roared the sleeping spell: “Da Lang, have you sold all the cakes?!”
Ji Wenfeng paused while grabbing his collar, and his fist hung in the air without moving. His face was full of struggle. Liang Wendao was secretly happy: Wow, what the boss said is really golden words! This sentence really destroyed Ji Wenfeng’s psychological defense!
Who knew that Ji Wenfeng’s eyes were distracted for a moment, and then he looked at him coldly: “Go back and tell that witch that I also fought a tiger on Jingyang Ridge. If it weren’t for marrying her, why would I pretend to be honest and sell sesame cakes?!”
He was about to beat to death Ximen Wendao who stole his wife and his shoes!
At this moment, Lu Rong was hiding in the corner not far away, wearing a hat and a mask, just like a paparazzi stalking.
When the background music of “Megola Box” blared, he knew something was amiss. Without even putting away his schoolbag, he rushed to the crime scene, following Li Nanbian’s background music like the wind. He hid behind a wall, then poked his head out to investigate. He knew that as the core of the three-man Shura scene, his presence would only worsen the chaos.
Ji Wenfeng grabbed Liang Wendao and asked, “Did you come to my house to steal my wife?”
Liang Wendao flatly denied it, “No!” Ji Wenfeng didn’t believe him and raised his fist to hit him.
Liang Wendao shouted, “Da Lang, have you sold all the cakes?”
….
Up to this point, the script had been perfectly executed. If he had predicted correctly, Ji Wenfeng would have hesitated at this point, ultimately abandoning Liang Wendao instead of mentioning selling cakes in public. After all, he was such a playful person; he wouldn’t easily do anything that contradicted his character!
But he never expected that Ji Wenfeng would just not do it today and even said some cheesy love words mixed with selling cakes and fighting tigers!
Lu Rong was shocked and covered his nosebleed: …It’s quite cute.
No.
A cold light flashed in Lu Rong’s eyes. As the mastermind behind Chengnan Middle School, he had to protect his team members from the bullying of Ji Wenfeng!
He could no longer care about hiding himself and stuck his head out.
At this time, a pair of black and blue lightnings came into his eyes, stinging his sensitive optic nerves!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah how could this happen!
No wonder even acting can’t stop Ji Wenfeng, you fu**ing just wore out the token of love!
You said you would wear the big lightning to win the championship in the National Mathematical Olympiad to add luster to Chengnan All Villain Group! Why did you wear it out and pretend the next day, and said it was a gift from your girlfriend, if you don’t go to hell, who will go to hell!
Lu Rong had a feeling that this matter would not end peacefully, so he had to step in himself and stop the crazy Ji Wenfeng.
In this way, the fact that he was an ordinary student of South High School in front of others but was actually a school bully who monopolized the entire Chengnan and was also Ji Wenfeng’s little slave would spread like wildfire, causing his entire high school career to collapse. In the future, no matter whether he was a school bully or a little slave, neither life would be easy!
But exposing the vest was a small matter, he absolutely could not let his team members get beaten up because of him!
Lu Rong retracted his head, took a few deep breaths, and decided to walk out of the corner and meet his fate!
“What are you doing here?” Jin Menglu, carrying her schoolbag, looked at him in confusion.
Lu Rong’s eyes lit up. Wasn’t she one of the only few of their Yuan VIP supreme customers?
Lu Rong asked him in a muffled voice, “Jin Menglu?”
Jin Menglu looked at him as if he were a pervert: “Do you know me?”
Lu Rong: “Did you purchase the VIP supreme service worth 5999?”
Jin Menglu took a step back: “Could it be that…Evil guy?!”
Lu Rong: “Haha. I need a small favor from you now. As long as you agree, I will give you one year of 599ip supreme service for free.”
Jin Menglu was shocked: “It’s too late for me to return it!”
The private tutor asked her to do exercises every day like a pervert, explained the knowledge points 24 hours a day, checked at any time, and followed up simultaneously. She felt that she might as well go to school honestly.
Lu Rong, ever resourceful, said: “Then I’ll shorten your service time by half. The package deal will end right after the midterm exams.”
Jin Menglu tossed her schoolbag aside, speaking righteously: “Just tell me what you want me to do.”
Lu Rong steadied her by the shoulders: “Pretend to be Study God’s girlfriend and swear that you were the one who gave him that big lightning bolt.”
Jin Menglu: “…Huh?”
Lu Rong spun her around and launched her forward. Jin Menglu shot out like a little cannonball, crashing right into Ji Wenfeng and Liang Wendao—slamming squarely into Liang Wendao’s chest!
At that moment, Liang Wendao was being grabbed by the collar, about to get beaten up by Ji Wenfeng, as he frantically explained: “It really was my girlfriend who gave it to me!”
Ji Wenfeng, a cigarette dangling from his lips, sneered coldly: “What girlfriend? What’s her surname, what’s her full name, how old is she, and where does her family live?!”
Liang Wendao: “I… I…”
He could untangle the most complicated math problems, but under Ji Wenfeng’s overwhelming pressure, he couldn’t string together even a half-believable love story!
And just then— a girl came crashing into his chest like a cannonball!
Ji Wenfeng was stunned and quickly withdrew his hand: “Who are you?!”
Jin Menglu exchanged glances with Lu Rong and resolutely mustered up the courage to straighten his chest: “I… I am Liang Wendao’s girlfriend!”
Ji Wenfeng: “!” Liang Wendao actually has a girlfriend!
Liang Wendao: “!” I, Liang Wendao actually have a girlfriend!
The spectators around were whispering.
“Isn’t this Jin Menglu from Class 6? I didn’t expect it! She looks ordinary, but she actually hooked the academic genius! You can’t judge a book by its cover, and you can’t judge a green tea by its depth!”
“Hey, don’t say that. Although she’s not as outstanding as Mr. Ji’s wife, Jin Menglu is also a young lady. Otherwise, how could she be so generous and give him a pair of Lightning shoes!”
“I thought the woman the academic genius fell in love with should be smarter. I heard that her academic performance was very poor…”
“You don’t understand. It’s impossible for an academic genius to fall in love with another academic genius. Otherwise, he would always do better than his wife in exams, and his wife would be angry and run away. Have you seen “It Started with a Kiss[3]“? Academic geniuses always like fools!”
“That makes sense, that makes sense…”
Ji Wenfeng let go of his hand in astonishment and patted Liang Wendao’s shirt: “I’m sorry, I apologize. I was too arrogant and thought you were lying to me.”
Liang Wendao escaped from death, and the whole person was weak. He laughed dryly: “Why would I lie to you…”
Ji Wenfeng: “My wife also bought me a pair of Lightning shoes. I haven’t worn them yet, but you wore them. I thought you were stealing my wife.”
“Don’t look down on me! I have a very good relationship with my wife.” Faced with a strong desire to survive, Liang Wendao hugged his girlfriend who fell from the sky.
Jin Menglu was also tempted by the half-course reduction, and she raised her chin arrogantly to Ji Wenfeng and protested: “I love my husband very much. This is a big lightning. I paid a lot of money for it! Don’t think that you are the only one who can afford it.”
Ji Wenfeng: “Uh…” His eyes passed over the two of them and pointed behind them.
Liang Wendao and Jin Menglu turned around and saw the dean of studies, Zhu Renliang, standing behind them with a murderous look on his face.
Liang Wendao and Jin Menglu quickly let go of each other and stretched out their hands to Zhu Renliang: “Things are not what you think!”
Zhu Renliang took them away by the collar, one in each hand: “Puppy love, right? Let’s go to the teaching office.”
