Su Shan walked ahead with a golf bag on her back, sipping apple juice as she went. Her ponytail, tied with a black ribbon, swayed back and forth, captivating the attention and desires of all the men who passed by and couldn't help but turn to look.
Tang Chong kept a distance of about one meter behind her, neither too close nor too far, sipping orange juice from his cup. Perhaps due to some kind of sibling telepathy, Tang Chong also had a particular fondness for this sweet and sour drink.
The orange juice Su Shan bought was more sour than any he had tasted before, so sour that it made him shiver, every hair on his body standing on end.
Su Shan didn't speak, and Tang Chong couldn't think of anything to talk about. She was too smart, and her presence too overwhelming. It seemed that any topic of conversation would reveal the poverty of his thoughts. So, he decided to keep quiet.
Unfortunately, the peaceful atmosphere was soon disrupted by a harsh sound.
Screech!
A black Audi A8 performed a beautiful drift and came to a stop right in front of Su Shan.
The rear door opened, and a boy with glasses climbed out, grinning. Despite his efforts to stand straight, Tang Chong immediately noticed that he was hunchbacked. Young people nowadays were often lazy, and their posture was often slightly hunched. However, this boy was more hunched than most. His lower body was straight, but he bent at the waist, his head leaning forward as if he were pecking like a chick.
He stood by the car door, waiting for Su Shan to approach.
Su Shan's expression showed a hint of surprise, but she walked over as usual.
"Is Young Master You here to tell me your decision?" Su Shan asked.
"I already told you the result. When you rejected my second condition, my answer was already clear." You Mu adjusted his glasses and looked at the girl in front of him with admiration. Her face was flawless, and her demeanor was graceful and composed. She had a good figure, with a slim waist and long legs. She would be a suitable young lady for the You family. No wonder the old lady had mentioned her several times. "I'm here to remind you of something."
"What is it?" Su Shan asked calmly.
"You seem to have forgotten what I said." You Mu said with a smile. His gaze turned playful when it fell on Tang Chong. "I said I want you to be my woman."
"I remember," Su Shan said. "I didn't agree."
"Whether you agree or not is up to you," You Mu said. "Since I said it, your affairs are now my affairs."
His eyes roamed over Tang Chong without restraint. "What's your name?"
"Tang Chong. Tang as in Tang Dynasty, Chong as in weight." Tang Chong smiled, thinking to himself, why do I always encounter either fools or lunatics? He had just left the mental hospital at Henshan Prison, only to find himself in an even larger and more terrifying one.
"Oh, a good name," You Mu nodded in approval. "You for game, Mu for herdsman. Compared to your name, mine is quite low-key."
"Compared to your name, your appearance is even more low-key," Tang Chong said.
Su Shan turned back in surprise and then smiled gently.
Because everyone knew he was a pervert, no one had ever dared to speak to You Mu like that, not even someone from a family of similar status like Lu Junzhuo.
This was also why You Mu was quite famous in a small circle.
This guy, did he know who he was challenging?
Appearance was a sore spot for You Mu, and no one had ever dared to mention it to him.
Not even to praise someone else in front of him.
Only this guy...
His mocking tone and playful words were so hurtful, deeply wounding You Mu's strong yet fragile self-esteem.
He grinned, his face splitting wide, but the smile was so sinister. It was like a toad suddenly grinning at you, terrifying in every way.
"You must be very confident and satisfied with yourself, right?" You Mu looked Tang Chong up and down, smiling.
"Pretty much," Tang Chong said. "Actually, I used to be even better-looking."
"I saw your performance earlier," You Mu said. "From when you fought those scumbags to when you carried one of them into the toilet, I saw it all. Ruthless, direct, and without mercy. I must say, I admire your style. You and I are of the same kind."
"We are not the same kind," Tang Chong shook his head. He pointed to the Audi parked nearby and said, "You have a car to get around, but I only have my feet."
You Mu laughed. "Interesting. I'm starting to like you."
Tang Chong hesitated but finally gave up. "I really envy you. I can't say that to your face."
Hearing Tang Chong's words, You Mu's 'smile' became even more bizarre. He pointed to Su Shan and asked, "Do you know who she is?"
"Yes," Tang Chong said. "Not only do I know, but all the boys in our school know, right?"
"You're right," You Mu nodded. "She has been rated as the undisputed campus beauty of Nan University for three consecutive years and the top beauty of Mingzhu University for three consecutive years, surpassing the music college's beauty Cai Sirong and the art college's beauty Zhang Jing. Oh, it should be the fourth year now, right? She is indeed quite famous."
Tang Chong laughed. "It seems you know her better than I do."
"I won't deny that. And the things I know are different from what you know," You Mu said with a smile. He knew her family background, her origins, her preferences, and her aspirations. These were things outsiders couldn't know.
"True. The things we know are different," Tang Chong agreed. He had Tang Xin's diary, which contained many secrets about 'Su Shan.' These were also things outsiders couldn't know.
You Mu pointed to Su Shan. "Do you want to date her?"
Tang Chong nodded. "But she said I'm not her type."
"Oh, I can understand that," You Mu's mood suddenly improved. Although his request had been rejected by Su Shan, at least she hadn't accepted anyone else's advances. "However, I still need to remind you that she is the woman I have my eye on. She will be my woman in the future."
"Then what?"
"Then?" You Mu's eyes turned cold. "From your actions earlier, I think you're a smart person. Why do I need to spell it out and hurt my dignity and your face?"
"Because she is the woman you want to pursue, I should stay as far away as possible, right?" Tang Chong couldn't help but laugh. He always thought of himself as a proud person, but compared to this guy, he was the epitome of gentleness, humility, kindness, and cuteness.
"I'm glad you can think of these things on your own," You Mu said without denying it. He didn't care about Su Shan's presence or her thoughts. He would say what he wanted to say and do what he wanted to do. His birth had made him a deformed and ridiculed person, but it had also given him something to compensate.
He enjoyed this feeling. Only at this moment did he feel superior, his spine straight and tall.
"If you accept my advice, there won't be any conflict between us," You Mu continued. "Are you interested in helping me? I don't know if Su Shan has invited you to join the Red Eagle, but I can assure you that I can provide you with a platform even broader than the Red Eagle."
"I don't know what the Red Eagle is," Tang Chong said honestly. He and Su Shan had only 'met' today, and there was no way she could have invited him to join the Red Eagle. Besides, he didn't know what kind of organization it was. "I don't know if I would join if she invited me. I might, or I might not. But I know I won't accept your advice."
Tang Chong glanced at Su Shan and smiled. "Although we've known each other for a short time, it feels like we've known each other for years. I value this friendship, and she even treated me to a glass of juice. I have no reason to abandon a friend because of your words. If I did, I wouldn't deserve to be her friend. She would never look at me again, and that's exactly what you want, right?"
A glint of emotion flashed in Su Shan's eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.
She was not one to show her feelings, as she believed it would make her too transparent.
She didn't like this feeling of exposure, just as she didn't like wearing revealing clothes.
"Are you sure?" You Mu asked.
"Absolutely," Tang Chong said firmly.
"Alright then," You Mu nodded. "Break one of his legs."
"Happy to oblige," a young man in casual clothes with a short haircut said excitedly, standing behind You Mu.
His facial features were sharp, and he looked like a handsome guy. However, his eyes were as sharp as a vulture's, making people feel uneasy. He rubbed his hands together, looking at Tang Chong as if he were a delicious meal.
He took a step forward, positioning himself to shield You Mu. This way, You Mu could maintain his dominant position and be protected. Most importantly, he could attack Tang Chong at any time.
An expert's move revealed his skill.
Although this guy just took a casual step forward, his stance revealed a lot.
"He's a master!" Tang Chong thought.
