Chapter 37: Brother Lu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

I was stunned for a moment.

Fang Qian!

The guy who beat me the most in my class, the one who wanted me to be expelled and sent to prison!

He actually smiled so kindly at me!

Did the sun start to rise from the West?!

When I entered the classroom, I was still confused. When I raised my head, I suddenly saw Liang Xue and Guo Zhicheng sitting together. My face immediately sank.

However, this was not the first time. I also knew that before I paid off the debt, everything I did would be useless, so I did not plan to do anything. My face darkened for a moment before I prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, when Guo Zhicheng saw my expression, he was actually shocked. He suddenly stood up and said embarrassedly, “I… I’d better sit over there.”

He actually fled from Liang Xue’s side and sat on the other side of the classroom, thousands of miles away from her!

I was stunned. I looked at him and then looked at Liang Xue.

Liang Xue was also looking at me. When our eyes met, her delicate body obviously trembled. A smile appeared on her face as she said reluctantly, “Zhang… Zhang Lu, if you want to sit here, it’s also… okay…”

I almost choked on my breath!

Liang Xue, who had never liked me sitting together with her for the past two years, actually took the initiative to say such words!

This was definitely the first time!

At this moment, someone bumped into me from behind.

“Oh my god! Who the f*ck is standing in the middle of the aisle? You’re blocking everyone!”

I was shocked and turned around to look. It was a male classmate who often hung out with Fang Qian. He was big and burly. As he walked, he was rummaging through a bag, so he did not notice me and bumped into me.

“I’m sorry,” I hurriedly said.

Who knew that the moment I uttered these words, his expression instantly changed when he saw that it was me. He subconsciously took two steps back!

“Ah, Brother Lu, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I must be blind. I’m sorry to bump into you!” The tall male student said fearfully.

I was even more shocked.

Brother Lu?

This was the first time in my life that someone addressed me as ‘brother’!

What was going on? In the morning, they were treating me as poorly as before!

How could it be that after the lunch break, it was as if I had transmigrated, and they had changed so much!

In the end, I went to sit beside Liang Xue.

After sitting down, I immediately felt that her entire body was tense. She had been pretending to read, not daring to look at me, not daring to communicate with me.

I looked around and realized that it was not just her.

The entire class looked at me in a different way.

There was shock and awe, even a little fear.

In the past, because of my ‘love of fighting’, these students had been polite to me on the surface. However, now, it was several times stronger than that.

It was like I was not just a bad person who loved to fight, but a bad person who loved to kill!

“Xue?” I was baffled and called out in a low voice.

“Yes!” Liang Xue shivered. It was as if she was called out by the teacher.

“You don’t seem right. What’s going on?” I could not help but ask.

“No… nothing. I’m just preparing for my homework…” Liang Xue stuttered.

“Do you not want to sit with me?” I frowned.

“No, no, I don’t have such thoughts at all!” Liang Xue quickly replied and even forced a smile.

I was a little depressed. From the looks of it, I could not get an answer.

I coughed lightly and changed the topic. “I’m still working on the debt repayment, don’t worry…”

Liang Xue hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Just take your time. It’s my debt, to begin with. It has nothing to do with you. I’m glad that you care about me.”

I did not expect her to speak so sensibly. My heart warmed and I said gently, “Then can you promise me one thing? Don’t be so intimate with Guo Zhicheng for the time being. I… I feel uncomfortable.”

Liang Xue said firmly, “Zhang Lu, don’t worry. I won’t be with him anymore!”

I was stunned and overjoyed. “Really?!”

Liang Xue nodded vigorously. “Of course!”

I said in surprise, “Then you’re still my girlfriend?”

Liang Xue hesitated for a moment but still nodded. “Of course!”

I was not an idiot. Although I was happy, from her expression, it was obvious that her answer was not sincere.

It was very strange. What was wrong with her?

However, compared to this, I was more worried about paying off the debt. Half a month’s time will soon be up. I still had not gathered the funds.

Since there was no class in the afternoon, I could not help but make a bold request. I asked Liang Xue to go to dinner with me.

Of course, it was just to have dinner at the school cafeteria. I did not have that much money to go outside.

Liang Xue hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

I could not hide my excitement and left the classroom with her.

After leaving the classroom, I suddenly remembered that I had left my phone in the desk drawer. I quickly informed Liang Xue and went back to get my phone.

Most of the people in the classroom had already left. Only a few people gathered at the back row to talk. They did not notice that I had entered the classroom.

I did not want to talk to them either. I went over to get my phone. Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard one of them say, “Is that true? Someone like him could become Teacher Chen’s brother?”

“Of course it’s true! Don’t you know that yesterday, Fang Qian and Zheng Yuxun partnered to deal with Zhang Lu. In the end, it was Teacher Chen who saved him!”

“Right, I didn’t believe it at first, but at noon, when we were playing basketball in the gym, I actually saw him meeting with Teacher Chen. The two of them looked very intimate!”

“No wonder! I was wondering why everyone was so polite to Zhang Lu today. So…”

“Shh! Zhang Lu is there!”

One of them spotted me and immediately reminded everyone not to talk nonsense.

I forced a smile and did not say anything. I turned around and left the classroom.

A huge wave surged in my heart. It turned out to be like this!

Who exactly was Chen Hanwei? He dared to hit Yang Gang. Moreover, he was fine after causing a huge ruckus in the restaurant. Even the school did not pursue this matter.

Now, everyone misunderstood that I was being protected by him, which was why they were so afraid of me!

Needless to say, Guo Zhicheng and Fang Qian did not dare to treat me as badly as before!

In that case, was Liang Xue’s reaction also because she was afraid of offending me?

II thought that if I had Chen Hanwei’s protection, others would not dare to bully me anymore. Only now did I realize that the benefits were far more than that.

Liang Xue did not say much during the meal in the cafeteria.

I ate quickly. After I finished eating, I felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. I could not help but find a topic to talk about. However, after thinking for a while, I could not think of any good topics to talk about. I forced myself to speak. “That guy, Guo Zhicheng. He didn’t take advantage of you, right?”

As soon as I said that, I realized that I had misspoken and cursed inwardly.

This was a question that I had been worried about all along. It was obviously not the right occasion for me to ask such a question.. However, for some reason, my brain suddenly went blank and I actually blurted it out!
