Chapter 17: You're an Idiot then

While Lu Chen and Zhang Jian continue to eat their barbeque, Long Shen and Liu Fei Fei walks back to their table.

Seeing the displeased look that Liu Fei Fei was making, Long Shen knew she was furious at Lu Chen. He said gently, "I was just greeting a fellow classmate." Lu Chen is a student at their school. He felt it would have been rude of him not to greet them.

But Liu Fei Fei starts to pout, "But the other person is him. He's always trying to demean you. So why do you have to be kind to him." Lu Chen had tried to attack Long Shen in every way possible to ruin his reputation. It has gotten to the point where Liu Fei Fei wants Lu Chen dead.

She was not the only one as Yao Shao heard what she said. He comments as well, "Yeah, boss Long. Mophead Lu is a bastard who has always try to make you look bad. You should just tell him off." Yao Shao said this loud enough for everybody in the restaurant to hear.

Some of the students turn over to Yao Shao's direction, curious about what he's saying.

From how much attention he was getting, Yao Shao evilly smirks as he continues to loudly berate Lu Chen, " He's an ignorant, yellow belly, wimp! He doesn't even realize he is a frog that is trying to eat swan meat."

As the comments were shot out in rapid succession, Zhang Jian almost couldn't take it anymore. He was ready to smack the fat off of Yao Shao. But Lu Chen stops him, "Just let him keep saying what he wants. It's actually interesting how much he can say." Lu Chen was making notes of what Yao Shao said as he would use them later on others.

But Zhang Jian's eyes twitch, "Brother Chen, how can you just sit there and let that prick slander you like that. Aren't you angry?"

Why are you so calm and mystical at how that fatty is berating you!

Lu Chen sips on his drink as he asks Zhang Jian, "Why should I be angry?"

"?"

"Yao Shao is a trivial bug. He's not even worth my time. Besides, his plan is obvious; he's trying to portray me as a scoundrel in front of everyone here. Then by me reacting to it, he would use it to his advantage and show how I am what he says."

To Lu Chen, Yao Shao's consistent rant about him made him feel like he was at the zoo, and he was looking at a monkey making fun of himself. It was amusing to him.

Zhang Jian calms down as he heard Lu Chen's reasoning, "Yeah, your right. Fatty Shao just wants a reaction out of us to make us look like clowns." He was about to continue to eat, ignoring the consistent rude comments coming from the fatties mouth. But he realizes something as he asks Lu Chen, "Hey."

"Hmm?" Lu Chen looks up as he eats a slice of beef from his chopsticks.

"You just call me an idiot." Zhang Jian's brow raises.

Lu Chen tilts his head in confusion, "when?"

"You just said that anybody that reacts to what fatty Shao is an idiot."

"And?"

"And I reacted to it."

"What's your point then?" Lu Chen said, acting like he still doesn't understand.

"So I'm an idiot?" Zhang Jian said as he points at himself

"So you admit that you're an idiot then." Lu Chen said with a smile, "Good to know."

Zhang Jian became angry as he screams, "You a**hole!"

Lu Chen starts to laugh and changes the topic, "Anyways, fatty Shao doesn't even understand that he's digging a large hole for himself."

Zhang Jian looks at Lu Chen's confusion for a few seconds, and a smile forms on his face. He couldn't stop grinning, "So you were waiting for that, huh brother Chen?"

Lu Chen nods his head, which made Zhang Jian laugh. The two start to smile like devils as they continue to eat.
