As Chen Mo entered the classroom, many people merely glanced at him with disdain and turned their heads away, as if even looking at Chen Mo was a waste of time.
Chen Mo didn't bother with them. Seeing Zhu Yuanxiang and Xiao Yuxian waving at him, he smiled and walked over.
Originally, the desks and chairs in the classroom were arranged in four groups, but students from other factions had each occupied one group. As a result, Chen Mo and his group could only sit behind them, forming the fifth group at the back of the classroom.
When Chen Mo walked over, Zhu Yuanxiang and Xiao Yuxian were eating fried dough sticks. They greeted him while eating: "Good morning."
Chen Mo smiled and replied, "Good morning."
Zhu Yuanxiang stuffed a fried dough stick into his mouth and then pulled out a chair for Chen Mo to sit down. He mumbled, "Chen Mo, why didn't you call us for breakfast this morning?"
Chen Mo laughed and said, "I wanted to call you, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I went by myself. By the way, where did you get your meal cards?"
Xiao Yuxian answered, "The meal cards were handled by the receptionist. What? Didn't she give you one?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "No, maybe it's because I didn't pay?"
Chen Mo thought to himself: Even if I didn't pay, Sister Tian wouldn't have forgotten to give me a meal card. It seems she was preoccupied with the MIT matter and forgot.
Zhu Yuanxiang swallowed the fried dough stick in his mouth and said happily, "Why pay? The food and accommodation for the天才少年班 (genius youth class) students are free. Not only do we get free housing and meals, but even the utilities are free."
Just as Zhu Yuanxiang finished speaking, a man's voice came from the front: "What a bunch of country bumpkins!"
Hearing this, Chen Mo immediately turned his head and saw that it was someone from the Central Plains faction. Chen Mo was about to respond, not wanting to be a pushover like yesterday.
But before he could speak, Xiao Yuxian slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "You damn brat! Do you want a beating?"
If it were before last night, Xiao Yuxian would have ignored the taunts, given the other side's numbers and superior grades. But the events of last night gave him the courage. He felt that if he could stand up to college students, these genius youth class students were nothing. With Chen Mo's excellent grades as a backup, he felt even more confident. He acted very aggressively, rolling up his sleeves and ready to fight anyone who dared to challenge him.
Zhu Yuanxiang naturally stood on the same side as Xiao Yuxian. Seeing Xiao Yuxian rolling up his sleeves, he acted even more aggressively. He picked up the chair he was sitting on and stood up, shouting, "Li Xiaofeng, I know you said that! If you have the guts, come over! See if I don't beat you until you're crawling on the ground!"
Since Zhu Yuanxiang and Xiao Yuxian had already lost their temper, Chen Mo couldn't stay silent. He rolled up the sleeves of his T-shirt to his shoulders, revealing his dark, muscular arms, and said disdainfully, "Li Xiaofeng, right? You were acting all high and mighty when we met yesterday. What, you still want to act that way? Do I need to teach you a lesson to show you why the peach blossoms are so red?"
The person who spoke was indeed Li Xiaofeng, the leader of the Central Plains faction. He was the nominal top student in the published results, so he was naturally very proud. Yesterday, he had been disrespectful to Chen Mo and his group. At the time, Xiao Yuxian and Zhu Yuanxiang were outnumbered and didn't dare to respond, and Chen Mo, being new, didn't know the situation and didn't respond either. This made Li Xiaofeng even more disdainful towards them. However, he was completely unprepared for the strong reaction from the Linhai faction when he taunted them again this morning.
Not only Li Xiaofeng but also everyone else in the classroom, except for the Linhai faction, were taken aback. They all turned to look at Chen Mo and his group, who were ready to fight, with expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Zhu Yuanxiang's family ran a mahjong parlor, and he had seen many scenes growing up. Yesterday, he had played it safe because of their poor grades, but now, with the top student on their side, he felt much more confident. Seeing so many people staring at them, he glared at everyone fiercely and said, "What are you looking at? Don't forget this is Linhai! Our territory! You bastards better watch out! If you're not satisfied, you can choose a one-on-one or a group fight!"
It must be said that the students in the genius youth class were all very proud and bold. Hearing Zhu Yuanxiang's blatant challenge, a tall boy from Li Xiaofeng's faction immediately pushed his chair away and stood up, shouting, "I'll take you on one-on-one!"
Zhu Yuanxiang had only intended to scare them, but he wasn't prepared for someone to actually accept his challenge. He was momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Chen Mo saw his opportunity and looked at the student who had stepped forward with disdain, saying coldly, "You want to take us on one-on-one? You should find out what we did last night! If you really want to fight, you'd better be prepared to end up in the hospital! At the very least, you'll get a broken head, and broken arms and legs are not out of the question!"
Hearing that he might end up with a broken head or broken limbs, the boy's courage immediately deflated like a punctured balloon. At this point, Xiao Yuxian chimed in, "Hmph! Last night, the three of us took on over ten college students and won! You should take a look in the mirror before you challenge us! What are you, anyway!"
When they first entered the classroom in the morning, many people had seen Zhu Yuanxiang with a bruised face. At the time, everyone was puzzled about how he had been injured. Later, when they saw Chen Mo also enter with a bruised face, they thought it was an internal conflict within the Linhai faction. Now, hearing Chen Mo and Xiao Yuxian's words, everyone began to understand. The classroom fell silent, and no one dared to speak.
Although they were all bold and proud, they weren't stupid. If three people could take on over ten college students, it was clear how fierce they were. Compared to college students, they were much smaller and weaker. How could they possibly win in a fight?
To add weight to his words, Xiao Yuxian bent down and pulled a blood-stained rock from his backpack, slamming it on the table and shouting at the other factions, "See that? That's what I used last night! Any of you brave enough to step up—none? If not, all of you better behave! Don't come looking for a beating in the future!"
