Chapter 91 A Battle Where Emotions Are the Stake
Under Lu Zhaoye's shocked gaze, Xu Qingwan fled in panic as the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
Lu Zhaoye felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Shaking his head without giving it much thought, Lu Zhaoye went to the cafeteria with Lu Zichen and the others.
At this moment, a large group of people suddenly gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria, making a great commotion.
Lu Zhaoye stood on the periphery, uninterested, but overheard people around him saying that a high school sophomore boy had confessed his feelings.
He couldn't be bothered with anything else and just wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat, but Lu Zichen and the other two were so curious that they insisted on squeezing in to take a look.
Lu Zhaoye waved his hand to let them squeeze in to see, while he stood outside, hands in his pockets, leaning against the wall, lost in thought.
After a while, a commotion arose, and Lu Zhaoye recognized it as Lu Zichen and the others calling his name.
"Lu Zhaoye, Lu Zhaoye!"
Lu Zhaoye was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused about the situation, but he couldn't stop more and more people from calling his name.
He then pushed aside the people around him and went inside.
Upon arriving at the center, the ground was covered with many small, glowing lights arranged in a heart shape. Standing in the center was Zhang Xinhan, with Lu Zichen and the other two behind her.
There was another boy standing opposite, wearing glasses, thin, and dressed in designer clothes. Lu Zhaoye felt like he had seen this person somewhere before.
It seems like the little girl is quite popular; even with such a bizarre voice, she has suitors.
At this moment, Zhang Xinhan and the others felt relieved to see Lu Zhaoye arrive. Lu Zichen immediately pointed at the boy opposite and shouted,
"Zhu Zifeng from Rizhao and Gouchao is harassing our class monitor."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoye suddenly remembered that he was Zhu Zifeng.
Because both the advanced classes, Class 1 and Class 2, were on the first floor, he occasionally ran into this person a few times.
Zhu Zifeng turned to look at Lu Zhaoye, who had his hands in his pockets, with disdain in his eyes.
"So this is the new troublemaker in your class," Zhu Zifeng said with a cold snort, adding mockingly, "Boring."
Zhang Xinhan and the others' faces darkened. Upon hearing this, Lu Zichen, Qin Tian, and Li Hao immediately rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight. Fortunately, there were many onlookers around who quickly pulled them back.
"Pfft."
Lu Zhaoye couldn't help but laugh, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn to him.
Lu Zhaoye really didn't expect that high school students these days are all so immature and childish. He shook his head. Perhaps this is what they mean by "wanting to buy osmanthus flowers and share wine, but it's not like the carefree days of youth."
He kicked away the small lights blocking his way, and several of the rolling lights knocked over other lights, turning the romantic heart shape into a messy chicken coop.
"What are you doing? Other people are sunbathing in the middle of the day, and you're just wasting electricity by putting up a bunch of lights like this?"
Lu Zhaoye walked between Zhang Xinhan and Zhu Zifeng, turned around and asked Zhu Zifeng a question curiously.
Those around were startled by what they heard, and the noisy entrance to the cafeteria fell silent.
Seeing Zhu Zifeng's face darken, Lu Zhaoye immediately turned to Zhang Xinhan and said with a grin,
"You know, if someone wants to set up a lamp, why doesn't they choose nighttime? The sun is brighter than that."
Zhang Xinhan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Lu Zichen and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they also burst into laughter.
Zhu Zifeng's face was frighteningly cold. He took a step forward, standing very close to Lu Zhaoye, and said in a cold voice,
Do you know who my father is?
Lu Zhaoye shoved Zhu Zifeng aside, patted his school uniform with obvious disgust, and rolled his eyes at him.
"Even if your dad is the King of Heaven, he can't get this close to me. I'm not gay."
Those around couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
Just as Zhu Zifeng was about to say something, a group of boys suddenly surged in from behind him, pointing at Lu Zhaoye with indignant expressions.
"You're just a street thug, who do you think you are?"
"Why don't you take a good look at yourself? Do you dare compare your math scores with Brother Feng's?"
"..."
Lu Zhaoye recognized these people; they were all students from Class 2 next door. He had heard Lu Zichen tell him before that if Class 1 was a heretical sect, then Class 2 was a righteous sect.
However, judging from their current appearance, they don't seem to be righteous at all; they are more like some second-rate rogue cultivators.
Just as Lu Zhaoye was about to say something, a group of people suddenly surged out from behind him. He turned around and saw that they were his classmates.
"You think you're worthy of comparing your grades with Rizhao's? You'd better be able to beat your brother Qin Tian's math first," Qin Tian said, pointing at a boy across from him and cursing.
Lu Zichen crossed his arms and laughed, "What was the highest score in physics in your class again? Oh, sorry, I can't quite remember. Anyway, I was number one in the whole school."
And then there was the jump shot guy he knew, who, with his strong physique, stood right next to Lu Zhaoye and said with shining eyes,
"I just heard someone's going to get gay?"
"..."
The people around remained silent, not daring to speak, or rather, not worthy to speak. So it turned out that the two advanced classes were arguing.
They couldn't participate in the wars waged by the prodigies.
When Zhu Zifeng's classmates saw that their efforts to improve his grades were ineffective, their voices gradually weakened.
Just kidding, the plot of righteous people defeating evil cultivators only happens in martial arts novels, this is a school campus.
But Zhu Zifeng was still unwilling to give up. He opened his mouth as if to say something harsh, or challenge someone to a fight, but the fact that Lu Zhaoye was the leader of the street gangs had already spread, so he didn't dare to do it.
Finally, after thinking for a moment, he blushed and pointed at Lu Zhaoye, saying...
"Lu Zhaoye, are you even a man? All you do is hide behind others?"
Lu Zhaoye stepped forward, stood at the very front, and beckoned to Zhu Zifeng with one hand.
"If you want to have a go at me, feel free to come up."
Zhu Zifeng didn't move, his face flushed red. Asking him to fight Lu Zhaoye was practically asking for trouble. He changed the subject, raising his voice a few decibels.
"I remember you're also participating in the math competition, right? How about we have a math competition?"
Lu Zhaoye became interested and began to speak with great enthusiasm.
"Sure, how would you like to compete?"
Zhu Zifeng thought for a moment, and seeing Lu Zhaoye agree, he sneered. If it were just a matter of mathematics, he wouldn't be afraid at all.
"There are only four spots available for this competition. If you don't get one, don't get involved in my and Zhang Xinhan's business anymore."
"If I lose, I will never pursue Zhang Xinhan again. Do you dare to accept?"
The onlookers were immediately in an uproar. So this is the world of academic elites, competing for grades over a girl.
Lu Zhaoye did not answer immediately, but instead turned his head to look at Zhang Xinhan behind him.
The latter also noticed Lu Zhaoye's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
As Zhang Xinhan nodded, the crowd became noisy again, starting to clamor and staring intently at Lu Zhaoye and Zhu Zifeng standing in the center.
Lu Zhaoye raised his hand and pressed it down, and the crowd quieted down a bit. He smiled slightly, slowed his speech, and began to speak gently.
"If you're going to gamble with a girl's feelings, then I'm not taking this chance."
