CHAPTER 107: CHAPTER 0107: XIAO PEASANT VS. STUDY TYRANT_1

When Xiao Fang learned from Zhang Lele that Zhang Bin had become an English master, she truly panicked. Pulling Zhang Bin aside, she said in agony, "Brother Bin, you’ve changed too much. You’ve suddenly become a martial arts expert, a Divine Doctor, a company CEO, and now you’ve even mastered English. I’m still just a simple girl. We should break up, shouldn’t we?"

Zhang Bin took Xiao Fang into his arms and said softly, "Baby, you just worry about being beautiful, and I’ll worry about providing for our family. No matter how much I change, I will always love you. I love your beauty, your kindness, your tenderness..."

Xiao Fang was instantly lost in Zhang Bin’s honey-sweet words. She giggled nonstop, all her worries vanishing.

The two went up the hillside. Zhang Bin lay with his head on Xiao Fang’s long, fair legs, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, looking utterly content. When some villagers saw them, knowing smiles appeared on their faces. Mother Cheng saw them too, and she was so happy she couldn’t stop grinning. Xiao Fang’s pretty face flushed red with shyness, but she couldn’t bring herself to move Zhang Bin’s head.

"Xiao Fang, the villa will be renovated in a few days. Why don’t we move into the villa on the mountain, okay?" Zhang Bin asked, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

He’d been wanting to devour Xiao Fang for a long time, not just a day or two, but he’d never had a good opportunity. After all, his current house was drafty, and villagers could easily overhear them. Plus, he didn’t want their first time to be in such a sorry place. Thus, his wish had never been fulfilled.

"I... I’ll listen to you," Xiao Fang’s voice was barely a whisper. She shyly buried her head in her chest. But since Zhang Bin was lying on her lap, he had a perfect view of her impossibly alluring, bashful expression. He began to look forward to it with great anticipation.

「Three days flew by in a flash, and the appointed time with Liu Ruomei arrived.」

It was a Saturday. Wenwu Pharma employees worked on Saturdays, with only Sunday off, so they got to leave a bit earlier than on weekdays.

The moment work ended, Liu Ruolan called Zhang Bin.

"Xiao Bin, are you really going to compete in English with Bo Chengye? I think you should just forget it," Liu Ruolan said.

"How did you know about that?" Zhang Bin asked in surprise as he drove to the competition venue.

"My sister let it slip, so I found out," Liu Ruolan laughed. "You two are being ridiculous."

"It’s not ridiculous, it concerns Ruomei’s lifelong happiness," Zhang Bin said with righteous indignation. "I have a bad feeling about that Bo Chengye. He’s ugly and short, and I can’t just stand by and watch her marry the wrong person. I have to stop it. I made a bet with her that if I beat Bo Chengye, Ruomei will ignore him for good."

"But you’re obviously going to lose. He graduated from Cambridge University. His English is incredible," Liu Ruolan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I might lose to anyone, but not him. Since you already know, why don’t you come along? You can cheer for me and even be the judge," Zhang Bin said.

Liu Ruolan was a top student from a prestigious university, so her English was naturally excellent. She could communicate fluently with Americans or the British without any difficulty.

"No way. I don’t want to watch my boyfriend get humiliated," Liu Ruolan said.

"Didn’t you say that a couple should stick together through thick and thin?" Zhang Bin teased with a sly smile. "Besides, haven’t you always had confidence in me? How about we make a bet, too? If I win, you’ll spend today and tomorrow with me. We’ll stay at Xinyue Residence and have a world all to ourselves."

"And what if you lose?" Liu Ruolan asked.

"What a joke. How could I possibly lose? That’s impossible," Zhang Bin declared.

"If you lose, you’ll go home obediently. Don’t even think about tonight. I still haven’t recovered from last time," Liu Ruolan said with a pout.

Soon, Zhang Bin arrived outside the Wenwu Pharma building to meet Liu Ruolan. From there, they drove to their destination—the Lijing Hotel.

They went straight up to the eighth floor and entered a spacious private room.

Bo Chengye and Liu Ruomei had already arrived. With them were an Englishman, an American, and several young people who exuded a scholarly air—they looked like top students. Bo Chengye was engaged in a lively discussion with the two foreigners in English.

"Mr. Smith, Mr. Mike, I mainly invited you here for dinner today. Incidentally, I also need you to act as judges. A simple peasant with only a high school education wants to compete with me in English. I’m actually blushing just thinking about it. It feels a bit like I’m bullying him."

"Mr. Moore, I’m very curious. How did you end up making such a ridiculous bet with a peasant?" Mr. Smith asked, using Bo Chengye’s English name.

"Because that peasant won’t let me pursue Liu Ruomei. He wants to test me. If I lose, I’ll no longer have the right to court her," Bo Chengye explained.

"Perhaps he’s planning to lose on purpose to set you up with his sister," Mr. Smith said with a mischievous laugh.

"He’s bound to call you brother-in-law," Mike added with certainty.

"We can’t say that until the results of the competition are out," Bo Chengye said with a smile.

"Didn’t you just say that the guy’s name is Zhang Bin and that he never went to college?" Mike said, laughing. "From elementary school to high school, he was always at the bottom of his class and has never even passed an English exam. How could he possibly win?"

Liu Ruomei’s English wasn’t very good, so she couldn’t understand them. She chatted with two of her own classmates, glancing anxiously at her watch from time to time. It was clear she was waiting for Zhang Bin.

However, Liu Ruolan, who had just reached the doorway, understood everything. Her expression soured, and she almost pulled Zhang Bin away to leave.

Zhang Bin, on the other hand, acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing and pulled Liu Ruolan into the room.

"Liu Ruolan, what a rare guest..." Bo Chengye said, walking over to greet them with a surprised look on his face.

Liu Ruomei also approached Zhang Bin with a strange expression. She lowered her voice and said, "You actually dared to show up? And you brought my sister? Are you trying to get her humiliated along with you?"

"After I win later, you should drink a lot and get drunk. You know the reason," Zhang Bin whispered in her ear.

"You..." Liu Ruomei was so angry she almost spat blood. In her entire life, she had never met an asshole as arrogant as Zhang Bin. He was still talking tough even when facing certain defeat.

After some brief pleasantries, Bo Chengye turned on Zhang Bin, saying angrily, "So, you’re Liu Ruolan’s boyfriend. I won’t make a big deal out of it. However, you said I was ugly, short, and ignorant. That makes me very angry. You must apologize to me tonight."

"Bo Chengye is immensely knowledgeable and talented. He’s always been a top student, even when studying in England. You’re just a peasant who graduated from high school with the worst grades. Saying he’s ugly and short is going too far! You must apologize..."

The classmates Bo Chengye had summoned for support all glared at Zhang Bin, furious. This was pure, naked jealousy. Liu Ruolan had been their class beauty and even the school beauty, the goddess of their dreams. They had all felt too unworthy to ever pursue her, but now, some peasant had won her over. How could they not be jealous and furious?
