Two Weird Friends (Part 2/2)

"It doesn't matter who the woman is! I just need a single glance, and I'll know her three measurements immediately! I just need her to cast a single glance at me, and she'll completely fall in love with the splendid me!" These were the words that Lin Liqiang spoke most often in front of Qin Fen and Enzo Rota.

"What thing?" A hint of an unbelievable shock crept on Lin Liqiang's positively glowing face. "So you really don't know? It can't be. I'm starting to suspect whether or not you're a student of Founding Central right now. Wait, that's not right! I'm suspecting whether or not you're a man.... Brother, did you mess up your male functions while cultivating? I told you, man! You should have cultivated in neo martial arts with me. You see.... You see what happened to you."

Lin Liqiang held a grieved expression as his hands endlessly patted Qin Fen on the shoulder. He looked as if one of his best buds had died; he was sweeping his friend's grave, crying in reminiscence.

"Qin Fen's not you." The brief words carried a rare bluntness and callousness, but the words, when stopped in the ears of Lin Liqiang and Qin Fen, possessed emotions that other people couldn't sense.

Enzo Rota. An exchange student of the school, and a super genius from Europe! He was the only moster in the school who could contend against Lin Liqiang in grades. He was also a cool bro whose looks were on the same level as Lin Liqiang's, but he didn't keep his martial arts a secret like Lin Liqiang. Instead, He was known by all to be one of the strongest two-star warriors in the school. Some people said that Enzo Rota would have long since broken through to higher star levels were it not for the sake of tempering himself at a low star level. He could be three-star or four-star strength already! People gave him a nickname at the local high school tournament of Treasure Island—The Almighty Superman.

Of course, he was like Lin Liqiang. The most compelling thing about Enzo Rota was not his appearance or combat ability. Instead, it originated in his talent for pharmaceuticals.

If Lin Liqiang could be said to be the Earth Alliance's future number one expert in biochemical beasts, then the future number one expert in pharmaceuticals would likely to be Enzo Rota.

Lin Liqiang. Enzo Rota. These two became known as the Twin Stars of Founding Central. Even among all the high schools in East Asia, the two would still stand as existences at the top of the pyramid.

The surrounding people passing by all looked at these strange three people one after another. Though these three would convene at this post every morning, others couldn't get used to such a strange combination that lasted for nearly three years so far.

Two of them were super top-notch high school students in all of East Asia. They were existences that were even more capable than quite a few doctors. They would become tomorrow's stars of their fields, yet they were friends with a bumpkin.

A country bumpkin! That's right! Qin Fen heard people describe him in this way behind his back many times already. He didn't find this out by deliberately asking. Instead, he would always hear such discussions behind his back whenever he went to the restroom for a big dump.

Practically everyone was utterly puzzled by it. Qin Fen might have been a very hard worker in his studies, but his grades could only be considered mediocre. His familiar circumstances were utterly bad, and he was a fellow who lacked the guts to fight with others. How was he able to mix in with two future superstars?

Qin Fen had also been a bit puzzled as well, asking them about this in the past. Lin Liqiang responded in this way, "Making friends is like finding a girl. It depends on your feelings. This brother wouldn't be interested no matter how pretty the girl if he doesn't feel anything. In any case, you two can relax. I only have feelings toward girls. I won't have any special indulgences toward you guys."

Qin Fen could only give a helpless smile in face of this response. Making friends was certainly just as Lin Liqiang said. You had to have feelings. The two people before him were clearly future superstars, but he had never treated nor regarded them as future major characters. It was a simple relationship between friends. This aspect shocked their fellow students without end. Why did Qin Fen feel that he was no different from these two superstars?

Enzo Rota answered far more simply than Lin Liqiang when it came to Qin Fen's question. He just said three words, "You look nice."

"Indeed, Old Qin isn't me." Lin Liqiang wrapped an arm around Enzo Rota's shoulders, beaming, "It looks like you know what I'm talking about. I say, Old Enz, I never thought that you would have gossip too. What's wrong? Has a statue such as yourself finally been moved?" 

"I overheard it." Enzo Rota made a cool response as usual. Indeed, he didn't hear the news by gossiping. Instead, the news had spread to way too many people. He heard this the gossip even though he didn't want to.

Enzo Rota could only express helplessness toward the hooligan-like behavior of Lin Liqiang. Everyday for the past two years, he would always be put into a bind just like this by this hooligan. He was used to it by now.

Of course, he was only used to the behavior of this single hooligan Lin Liqiang. If someone else were to act like this toward him, not only would their face be smashed into a pulp, he would certainly leave an unforgettable memory for them.

"What are you guys talking about?" Qin Fen still had an expression of puzzlement.

"A girl," Enzo Rota responded with the simplest of words.

Qin Fen was lost in thought for a moment before he looked at Lin Liqiang beside him and smiled, "That's true. Only this sort of topic can make him this interested.

"Correct." Enzo Rota immediately displayed his clear stance on the matter, standing unified with him at the battlefront.

"I'm really not horny about this one!" The excitement on Lin Liqiang's face quickly faded away, replaced by a cautious and serios expression. "It's a new transfer student. A girl named Song Jia. It really is earth-shattering! She's the eldest daughter of her family and her grandpa is the head of one of the five major financial groups in the world! And it just so happened that she's the one and only treasured daughter of her generation!"

"A gold mine." Enzo Rota continued with his brief yet direct commentary.

"Not even." Lin Liqiang shook his head, "Typically speaking, the kids of rich families win in personality, but they may not be that beautiful in terms of looks. But this girl's looks and personality are all ultra-first-class level. Several boys all over the schools in East Asia all consider her to be a dream sweetheart. I heard that her e-mail was leaked once, and her ten gigabyte inbox was actually stuffed full with love letters as a result.

"Who ever ends up with her can be saved a lifetime of struggles." Like Enzo Rota, it was also Qin Fen's habit to summarize things briefly. He believed that this was possibly one of the reasons they were able to become friends.

"This.... Haha...." Lin Liqiang shook his heard when he heard this. "Do you dare to puruse such a girl? The sons of quite a few rich families have only deflated in failure before her."

Qin Fen drew his lips into a line, not speaking. The daughter of such a rich family was truly not someone an ordinary person could pursue.

"Qiangster, are you talking smack about me being my back again?"
