"Can."
Fang Qiu simply replied.
The middle-aged man laughed upon hearing this: "You sure have a big mouth, kid."
Fang Qiu also smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
The middle-aged man shook his head, swiped the library card, recorded the books, and returned them to Fang Qiu.
Putting the books in his backpack, Fang Qiu came to the library entrance, took out an umbrella, and walked directly into the drizzle with his backpack on.
Looking around, he saw students walking carefully to avoid the puddles.
Seeing this, Fang Qiu smiled slightly and stepped directly into a puddle.
A miraculous scene unfolded!
The water in the puddle actually spread out to the sides as he stepped in, as if an invisible force was controlling it, forming a small dry spot under his feet. The surrounding water did not flow back to wet his shoes at all!
He walked step by step toward the dormitory, not avoiding any puddles.
When he encountered other people, he walked like them, avoiding puddles and pretending to be afraid of getting his shoes wet.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Qiu just arrived at the dormitory building when a car suddenly sped past.
It happened to run over a puddle next to him.
Water splashed everywhere!
Fang Qiu's eyes suddenly sparkled, and his internal energy instantly surged.
The splashing mud and water seemed to hit an invisible shield around Fang Qiu and were completely deflected.
Not a drop of mud touched him!
But the surrounding students were not so lucky; they were all splashed with mud, their clean clothes now dirty as if they had fallen into a ditch.
Even several girls had mud all over their faces and couldn't help but cry softly.
"Damn, what kind of manners!"
"Driving so fast in school! Afraid of hitting someone?"
"Clearly a nouveau riche! No manners!"
...
Instantly, the students who suffered the mud began to curse the direction of the car.
Fang Qiu squinted his eyes, looking at the car with a cold gaze.
The car stopped in front of a dormitory building, and two burly men with sunglasses got out, then respectfully opened the rear door.
A middle-aged man and a young man dressed in hip-hop style, looking arrogant, got out of the car.
The two burly men quickly handed the umbrellas to the men, while they themselves stood in the rain.
Fang Qiu slowly walked up and quietly stood to the side.
He was waiting for the people in the car to apologize to the students.
If they apologized, he would consider the matter settled.
If they didn't apologize...
This matter wouldn't be over today!
The young man first looked at the students splattered with mud, sneered, then looked at the somewhat dilapidated dormitory building, frowned, and turned to the middle-aged man.
"Dad, are you really going to make me live here? This shabby building?"
The middle-aged man was clearly taken aback by the dilapidated dormitory but still firmly said:
"You're here to study, not to enjoy yourself! You'll live here!"
Hearing his father's stern tone, the young man dejectedly said, "Then let's go. I'll have my dorm cleaned up, and I want to live alone!"
Saying this, he was about to walk toward the dormitory building.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.
The father and son turned to see a handsome young man with a black umbrella and a backpack walking over, looking at them coldly.
The two burly men immediately became alert, blocking the father and son, and glared at Fang Qiu.
"What's the matter?"
The young man looked at Fang Qiu arrogantly.
The surrounding students also looked at Fang Qiu in surprise, not understanding why he had stopped this group of obviously wealthy and powerful people.
"I think you should apologize to them."
Fang Qiu pointed to the students nearby, who were drenched like wet chickens.
I think you should apologize to them?
This simple sentence made the students, who were covered in mud, feel a warm current in their hearts.
They had only complained behind the scenes, afraid to confront the powerful.
But now someone was standing up for them, saying what they had wanted to say!
The surrounding students were also shocked by Fang Qiu's words.
Many instantly gave Fang Qiu a mental thumbs up.
Some students thought Fang Qiu was courting disaster.
At this moment, Fang Qiu's class teacher, the beautiful senior Liu Feifei, and his dorm mates had just finished eating in the cafeteria and were passing by the male dormitory building. They saw the students being splashed with mud and were very angry.
Seeing their classmate Fang Qiu rushing forward, they stopped to watch, ready to support him at any moment.
"Apologize?"
The young man looked at the mud-covered students and directly told the two bodyguards, "Let's go upstairs."
The middle-aged man also saw the students but only frowned, considering his status and not making any comment.
Before the father and son could take a step, Fang Qiu suddenly appeared in front of them.
This startled them; he had been beside them a moment ago, how did he suddenly appear in front of them?
The two burly men instantly became wary, not noticing when this young man had moved.
Is he an expert?
But his physique didn't seem to match.
"Getting others covered in mud and not showing any remorse, that's not right, is it?"
Fang Qiu stared coldly at the father and son.
His aura was released, then restrained, ready to burst at any moment.
Although he didn't want to reveal his cultivation, it didn't mean he could ignore bullying.
What is martial arts for?
Isn't it to punish evil and promote good!
The father and son didn't feel the slight aura leaking from Fang Qiu, but the two burly men instantly changed their expressions.
This aura...
The two men even forgot to hold their umbrellas, directly blocking the father and son, fists clenched, muscles tense, staring at Fang Qiu.
They were ready to fight to the death.
The father and son looked at the bodyguards in confusion. These were their specially hired martial arts experts, and they had never seen them so wary before.
Why were they so wary of a student today?
The surrounding students were puzzled.
They thought, these bodyguards are too responsible, aren't they?
Fang Qiu glanced at the two burly men and asked, "Are you going to block me?"
Instantly, everyone's attention was on the two burly men.
"Absolutely not!"
They quickly replied.
These two simple words shocked everyone.
Not... not?
What does "not" mean?
The surrounding students instantly felt an infinite admiration for Fang Qiu.
This classmate is too awesome, standing up for justice and making two burly men back down!
The father and son, the young man still didn't understand what was happening, but the middle-aged man's eyes deepened, and he had a vague guess, looking at Fang Qiu with surprise and disbelief.
"Then what do you mean?"
Fang Qiu asked.
His aura was even stronger, ready to burst at any moment.
Although it was raining and the weather was cool, the two burly men were almost sweating.
"Today's incident was our fault. I was driving the car. I will apologize to them."
One of the burly men quickly said, then turned to the students and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, everyone. The car was driving too fast, and I didn't see the puddles. I'm really sorry!"
The innocent students immediately said, "It's okay," "No problem."
Seeing this, the burly man, having received forgiveness, looked at Fang Qiu for approval.
Fang Qiu only said four words: "Clothes are dirty."
The other burly man, without a word, took out a stack of money from his pocket and hurriedly gave each student 500 yuan.
Some students were hesitant to take the money but were forced to accept it.
Seeing this, the surrounding onlookers were stunned.
This...
They were so strong just a moment ago, but now they were giving out money.
"Feifei, your student is really something!"
Fang Qiu's dorm mate, who recognized him, said to Liu Feifei.
Liu Feifei, who hadn't expected Fang Qiu's ordinary act of justice to go so smoothly, immediately raised her head and said proudly, "Who do you think taught him!"
The dorm mates were speechless. They had only known each other for a few days!
"Is this okay?"
The burly man who had given out the money came over, wiping his sweat, and asked.
Seeing the mud-covered students satisfied, Fang Qiu nodded and stepped aside.
The two burly men quickly escorted the father and son, who were still in a daze, upstairs.
As soon as they went upstairs, the crowd below burst into applause.
All for Fang Qiu!
Their eyes were filled with admiration.
Fang Qiu smiled, bowed, and left amidst the applause.
Just as he left, his phone rang, and a text message came in.
It was from the beautiful senior Liu Feifei.
"You're amazing, really boosting our students' morale! You're worthy of being my student!"
Your student?
Fang Qiu, both amused and exasperated, replied, "Thanks for teaching me well, senior!"
Soon, Liu Feifei's reply came.
"You're welcome! The program is set. You and Chen Cong will represent our class. He will perform a martial arts routine, and you will play the hand flute 'Blue and White Porcelain.' You must do well tomorrow night; I have high hopes for you!"
Fang Qiu replied:
"I have high hopes for myself too!"
Then he was scolded by the beautiful senior: "Arrogant!"
On the other side.
The father and son had just found their dormitory and hadn't even sat down when the middle-aged man impatiently asked the two burly men, "What happened just now?"
The two burly men looked at each other, sighed, and said with lingering fear, "That student is an expert."
"An expert? That student?"
The young man, standing nearby, asked in disbelief.
A guy around his age is an expert?
"Yes!"
The two burly men said firmly.
"Can't you two beat him?"
The middle-aged man asked with a serious expression.
He knew very well the strength of these two bodyguards; five or six ordinary bodyguards couldn't match either of them.
The two burly men looked at each other again and then shook their heads bitterly, "Whether we can beat him is not the issue; the issue is how many moves we can last against him!"
"What?!"
The middle-aged man was shocked; he never expected such an answer.
"Perhaps we can hold out for a while based on combat techniques, but we will ultimately lose. We have never seen anyone so powerful."
The two burly men turned to the young man, who still couldn't believe it, and said, "Young Master, be very careful with this person. Absolutely do not create any conflict with him! There is a group of powerful people in this world who are unknown to the public, and this student is likely one of them!"
The middle-aged man became anxious and asked, "If he's so powerful, will Xiao Heng be in danger?"
"He shouldn't be. This student doesn't seem to be ruthless, and from today's incident, he acts with principles. As long as you are low-key and don't offend him, you should be fine," one of the bodyguards said.
"That's good! That's good!" The middle-aged man turned to his son and said sternly, "Did you hear that? Absolutely do not provoke that student. If possible, befriend him, and don't cause any trouble! Focus on your studies here and be as low-key as possible!"
The young man, with his head down, said, "Okay."
He had thought he could show off here, but on the first day, he was humiliated. How frustrating!
