CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: THIS BEATING MIGHT REALLY GET US INTO SERIOUS TROUBLE

"Her confession is her business; whether I accept it or not is my business. As for how I’ll consider it... that depends on Chen Rourou’s recent behavior."

"If she behaves herself lately, then I might consider her confession. If she’s dishonest and still thinking about pulling any stunts, Hmph! Then, every time I see her, I’ll sort her out until she admits defeat!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhang Beixing began to speak, his tone exceptionally fierce.

As soon as he finished, the place fell silent.

Everyone stared at Zhang Beixing, completely dumbfounded.

Wait, what did we just hear? He’ll watch Chen Rourou’s behavior, and if she’s dishonest, he’ll sort her out every time they meet? Holy moly, man! Do you even hear what you’re saying? That’s Chen Rourou we’re talking about, one of the most beautiful girls in our school! An existence unreachable for countless admirers. And now, when she’s actively pursuing you, you still want to judge her behavior and punish her if it’s not good enough? Are you serious? Also, what kind of ’sorting out’ are we talking about?

"Awesome!"

Dong Guoning gave a thumbs-up, expressing his approval concisely.

After his comment, it was as if a chain reaction had been triggered.

A chorus of ’Awesome!’ erupted from below the male dormitory building, and all the male students suddenly felt a shared sense of pride.

So, fellow men can also achieve such a noble status...

Seeing them react this way, Zhang Beixing waved his hand, signaling it was no big deal.

Then he asked if Little Zhao had anything else.

After receiving a "nothing" from the other party, Zhang Beixing didn’t linger and went straight back to his dorm to shower, do laundry, and rest.

He had been busy all day and was indeed quite exhausted.

So much so that shortly after lying down, he fell right into a deep sleep.

「Meanwhile,」

while Zhang Beixing was sound asleep, his statements from below the male dormitory building were posted online. Once this happened, the incident’s popularity skyrocketed!

"Damn! Damn! Damn! What Zhang Beixing said was freakin’ wild!"

"Watch Chen Rourou’s behavior, and if it’s not good, sort her out every time they meet? Just asking, is this ’sorting out’ the decent kind? (smirk)"

"??? You’re something else! You can find a way to make *anything* sound dirty, can’t you? Don’t be so ridiculous!"

"Speaking of ridiculous, who can top my bro Zhang Beixing? Geez, how is he so heartless even when facing the campus belle?"

"Could Zhang Beixing actually be putting on an act? Otherwise, it’s hard to explain why he can remain unmoved by Chen Rourou."

"Yeah, I can’t understand it. If it were me, forget talking tough afterwards, I probably would’ve fallen for her back in the woods!"

"That’s why Chen Rourou confessed to Zhang Beixing and not you!"

"F*ck, you guy above, you really deserve to die! I f***ing your ***, would it kill you to keep quiet? *****"

"HAHAHA, someone’s definitely losing sleep tonight!"

...

Amidst the classmates’ discussions, time quietly passed.

「In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.」

At eight in the morning, after completing four sets of Yue Family punches and earning 1.2 Ability Points, Zhang Beixing left the sports field.

He went to the cafeteria for breakfast.

I’m not sure if it’s just my imagination,

Zhang Beixing thought, but everyone I’ve met today has been looking at me strangely. If I were to use the ’domineering CEO’s percentage-gauging eyes’ to describe it, their gazes were roughly 30% envy, 20% pity, 5% indifference, and 45% surprise. What’s going on? Was it because of last night’s incident with Chen Rourou? But if it was because of that, why is there still a hint of pity in their eyes?

Zhang Beixing scratched his head, indicating his puzzlement.

When faced with such puzzling, unimportant matters, I have a simple method: just don’t think about them! After all, if it isn’t important, why bother so much? Just push it to the back of my mind and be done with it!

Thinking this, Zhang Beixing arrived at the food serving window and queued up.

Soon, he was sitting down with two large bowls of hot dry noodles, five pork buns, and three sausage rolls, eating with great relish.

After devouring all the food, Zhang Beixing slumped in his chair, burped contentedly, and then stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

He was thinking about how to make money.

When he had paid for his meal just now, his account balance had dropped to double digits.

Given my current, ever-increasing appetite from all this training and getting stronger, this money will only last me two more days, tops. And that’s not even considering other things. If I want to continue training and getting stronger, the difficulty will keep increasing, and so will my energy consumption. I’ll need constant replenishment. So, money is crucial right now... It’s like in ancient times; only the rich could afford martial arts training. Otherwise, they couldn’t support such gluttons. I assume that as the training difficulty increases, I might also need some items, and those will also cost money.

In two days, Zhang Beixing would be broke.

Although I could ask my parents for money... But... I’ve already lived one life. If I still have to ask my family for money just to eat, that would be a bit too pathetic. It’s definitely not because I woke up today to find Mom and Dad had sent me about fifty 60-second voice messages. Absolutely not! But how can I make money? Deliver food? But I don’t have an electric bike. Even if I rented one, I couldn’t afford the deposit with the few tens of yuan I have. Hand out flyers? That’s too time-consuming. It would take up an entire day, leaving me no time to exercise.

Zhang Beixing certainly wanted to make money, but it would be even better if he could also keep up with his training.

Maybe become a trainer at a gym? Zhang Beixing muttered. That idea seemed feasible.

But after thinking it through, I have to dismiss it. After all, working as a trainer means spending the entire day in the gym. If I had already graduated and entered the workforce, that would be fine. The problem is, I haven’t graduated; I’m still a student! I can’t possibly sacrifice my studies just to make money. And if, because of this, I failed my final exams...

Thinking of the 20-centimeter solid steel pipe his father kept, Zhang Beixing shuddered. If that thing hit me, I’d be in for a world of pain. No, no, I have to find a job that allows me to earn money, exercise, and keep up with my studies. I absolutely cannot afford to delay getting stronger; otherwise, this ’golden finger’ of mine would be a complete waste.

Zhang Beixing shook his head and sank back into his thoughts.
