Chapter 269: Bombarded with praise

Hearing the cracking sounds coming out of Lu Chen's knuckles, the others quickly back away. They didn't want to become like Lai Dingxiang. The choice is made.

Another one of Lai Dingxiang's friends went to the other side, and the group quickly left.

"Wise choice." Lu Chen shakes his head. Even if the four attack him at the same time, it won't make a difference. After fighting the thugs, Lu Chen trained her ass off. Handling four guys at once would be a piece of cake.

"Nothing to see here, folks." Lu Chen waves off the group of people. The only reason why he didn't want to fight them is because of the big crowd. If he did, it might have looked bad for Feng Meifeng and him.

Lu Chen turns to Feng Meifeng, "Let's go now." Lu Chen didn't say anything else as he walked away.

'Is something wrong?' Feng Meifeng noticed that behind Lu Chen's voice, there was something wrong.

...

As the two of them take the shortcut, Lu Chen asks her, "What's the deal with that guy?" Even though the two were childhood friends, he felt there's more to it than that.

Feng Meifeng shakes her head, "Lai Dingxiang's my childhood friend. We've been together for a long time. When he first moved in, he was shy and introverted when I first talked to him. I sorta pitied him and became friends with him." She thought of him as only a little brother.

"But then he started to change one day. He didn't leave me alone at all." Lai Dingxiang would stick close to her like a koala, not letting her go. And he would be a guard dog to anybody that comes close to her.

"It got even worse when my mother told him that we looked like a cute couple." Her mother was in the phase of asking her to get married. And Lai Dingxiang looked to be the perfect person for her to get married to.

"Shouldn't you have told your mother about it?"

Feng Meifeng raises one of her eyebrows. 'Why do you sound so annoyed?' She explains,

"Don't you think I haven't done that?" Of course, she told her mom that. However, the damage was already done.

"He keeps following me, and it's weird. Telling me that we're the perfect match and that we're going to have wonderful babies." Especially now, Lai Dingxiang became crazier, following her to school.

"Couldn't you have given the guy a more direct answer? I think the guy doesn't know that you don't like him."

"What's wrong with you?! How can you be on this guy's side? Of course, I told him that I don't like him! That's the first thing I told him!" Feng Meifeng felt wronged. She continues, "Even after I told him, he kept forcing himself on me."

"I never asked for him to love me! I tried to stop him!" Feng Meifeng's voice rises up, uncontrolled. Tears begin to form.

Lu Chen didn't know what to say now. More like he couldn't say anything. With him like this, Feng Meifeng didn't look at him anymore.

The walk was just awkward all the way to the school.

When Lu Chen and Feng Meifeng walked into the room, they saw a bunch of people huddle around Zhang Jian's table.

"Zhang Jian, you did so well on the show!"

"I can't believe you can sing so well."

"Can you sing here?"

"Yeah, I wanna see."

Because of how popular the show was, many people saw Zhang Jian.

His classmates didn't expect Zhang Jian to sing so well. Some of the girls got closer to him. All of them were trying to entice him.

But Zhang Jian backs away from them. He smiles, "I'm sorry, beauties. It's almost time for class to start." Before he continues to talk, he spots Lu Chen.

"Maybe some other time." Zhang Jian didn't say anything else as he pushed the girls away and walked towards Lu Chen.

The girls were surprised at what Zhang Jian did. Usually, he would get closer to them, trying to get a good look at their assets.

So for him to do that was a little weird.

Not realizing what they're thinking, Lu Chen smiles,

"You're doing good."
