CHAPTER 953: CHAPTER 552: REVEALING THEMSELVES (PART 2)

"Dong Qingfeng?"

"What’s up with you?"

Xin Youling called out.

Dong Qingfeng was momentarily stunned before he responded.

He took a deep breath, "I’m fine."

Dong Qingfeng was very picky; he wouldn’t warm up to unattractive girls. Precisely because of this, he was very fond of girls with outstanding appearances.

He wasn’t very old but had traveled to many places and seen beautiful girls from various places.

This girl left a deep impression on him. They had met at a small temple fair before. But on that evening, the visibility wasn’t great, and since he was eager to please Yao Yiyao, even so, he was still secretly amazed by her.

Today, the light was excellent, and Dong Qingfeng could see her completely.

Dong Qingfeng had seen many beautiful things before and had been amazed more than once. His feelings varied; sometimes his heart raced, sometimes his blood boiled, sometimes it made him feel inferior, and sometimes he admired them greatly.

But this time was different. The elegant and cool girl made him feel as if, on a plain afternoon, he woke up from a classroom, accidentally knocked over a water cup, and ended up spilling sunlight all over the table.

...

Jiang Ning passed by Dong Qingfeng with Xue Chuchu, smiled, and said, "I’m off."

Dong Qingfeng quickly nodded.

As the girls passed by, Dong Qingfeng suddenly wanted to ask Jiang Ning, ’What’s your relationship?’

However, Dong Qingfeng suddenly remembered the last time he praised Ding Shuyan in front of Jiang Ning.

He silently thought, ’Better not humiliate myself.’

He raised his head and looked longingly at that nearly dazzling figure, wanting to grind his teeth in frustration.

...

Ge Hao was still giggling, and when he noticed Deng Xiang acting strangely, he then realized the girl over there.

The next second, Ge Hao was struck by her side profile and blurted out, "Damn, she’s really damn pretty!"

Unable to contain his excitement, he quickly said, "Brother Xiang, come on, let’s go have some fun!"

Characters like Ge Hao were once popular in Iron Middle School. Though he wasn’t as dominant as Duan Shigang, the big boss of his time, he was still a renowned figure, known as ’Brother Hao’ by those who saw him.

These small-time hooligans stood out among the good students, displaying a showy, bold charisma that was actually an allure. A boy with charm never lacked girls who liked him.

What drove many boys to the edge was that many girls in their adolescent years, including top students, had a penchant for ’bad boys’ like Ge Hao.

Even if they didn’t like them initially, once targeted by these persistent, coercive roguish behaviors, they often lowered their standards until eventually succumbing.

Many boys lack such experience during their school years, leading them to be timid around girls, eager to serve them, which is normal because humans have always held reverence for the unknown.

But ’bad students’ loved making the first move, lingering around many girls naturally without fear.

"Brother Xiang, what are you standing there for?" Ge Hao was confused, filled with overwhelming confidence. Ordinary students focused their skills on studying, while they spent their skills chasing girls; specialization indeed has its advantages.

Deng Xiang carefully observed the girl, but his feet didn’t move.

"If you don’t go, I’ll go myself." Ge Hao chuckled warmly, getting ready to whistle.

A nearby buddy said, "Haozi, that girl can bench-press 140kg, take it easy, or you might get beaten!"

Ge Hao didn’t care, "Just because she’s strong doesn’t mean she’s good at fighting, right?"

Deng Xiang finally retracted his gaze, recalling the painful incident at the start of the semester when Jiang Ning took on eight people at once, solemnly saying:

"Haozi, I advise you to be kind."

...

Li Shi and Fang Qiuyue walked down the steps together, heading to the cafeteria for a meal.

Li Shi’s family was wealthy, but she didn’t, like Qi Tianheng, have a chef prepare special dishes every day.

She still opted for the small dining table plan at the Fourth Middle School cafeteria. The food was quite good now. Li Shi used to accompany her father to official institutions, and many officials ate only in the agency’s cafeteria, which might not be much better than the Fourth Middle School cafeteria.

Fang Qiuyue nudged Li Shi, "Very pretty!"

After seeing Xue Chuchu, Li Shi’s eyes flickered, and she said, "Not bad."

With broadened horizons, her affluent background, and having met Xue Chuchu several times, she wasn’t as amazed as other girls. Appearance was one thing, but the family’s background was more important.

The girl was indeed pretty, but her clothes were made of the cheapest material on the market.

Having just beauty wasn’t enough to be on par with Li Shi.

Moreover, as a fellow beauty, Li Shi didn’t think she was any worse than the other girl.

...

Cafeteria, table number 27.

The unfamiliar Xue Chuchu was being scrutinized and evaluated by the twins and Tang Fu.

Xue Chuchu felt tense inside, her cool face slightly tensed. She felt the girls’ eyes were full of wisdom, likely keenly insightful. She couldn’t embarrass Tongtong.

Jiang Ning introduced, "My neighbor, Xue Chuchu."

Geng Lu felt a premonition, ’Huh, why is she here? Was she invited by Jiang Ning or Tongtong?’

Feeling inexplicably pressured, after observing carefully, Geng Lu noticed the distance between the two, and she felt slightly relieved.

’Seemed like their relationship was quite ordinary,’ Geng Lu concluded.

...

Nearby table.

Lu Qiqi started the conversation, and Guo Kunnan participated, showcasing a confident demeanor as they discussed the gym.

Guo Kunnan: "Qiang Li’s abs are really something, didn’t expect he’s been working out well."

Lu Qiqi shook her head, "The abs are fine, but..."

"What’s up, don’t you like abs?" Guo Kunnan inquired.

Lu Qiqi replied, "I do like them, but us girls like more than just abs. First, you have abs, but you can’t let us know you have them, it should be revealed accidentally."

"You get what I mean? There are men in my circle who love showing off their abs, but it’s greasy. No matter how nice your abs look, if you show them off proactively, it’s just a turn-off."

Qiang Li, who was grabbing food, overheard this by accident and fumed, "When we show off our abs, it’s not for women like you!"

Lu Qiqi: "But I think it’s quite inappropriate."

Qiang Li got defensive: "What’s inappropriate? We show our abs to those who appreciate them."

Lu Qiqi: "Greasy."

She picked up a piece of beef and ate it elegantly.

Qiang Li wanted to find reasons to defend himself further.

Lu Qiqi finished the beef and advised the other men at the table, "Learn from this. In the future, don’t post ab selfies or anything, most girls don’t like your ’smirking selfies’ either."

Guo Kunnan: "Duly noted."

Ma Shicheng scoffed, "And do we love looking at your makeup-ed and Photoshopped photos that even your own mother wouldn’t recognize?"

Having been retorted by Ma Shicheng so many times, Lu Qiqi had made considerable progress. She promptly took out her phone and opened her social circle, revealing a series of pictures of a girl with a slim waist and a perky butt, showing them off in front of everyone.

"Not pretty? Don’t love it?" Lu Qiqi asked.

Guo Kunnan swallowed, "Wow, quite something."

Dan Kaiquan was also captivated.

Seeing this, Ma Shicheng grabbed Meng Gui, who came to scrounge for food, knowing Meng Gui was a true Saint: "Gui Zi, what do you think?"

Meng Gui looked at the photos expressionlessly, "I always believe the purpose of education is to instill the right values, to be informed, rather than indulging in a bunch of photos of a random girl, which is just too decadent."

As usual, Lu Qiqi asked, "Do you like it or not?"

Meng Gui: "To be frank, it’s quite perky. I’d like to see more if possible."

Guo Kunnan swallowed hard, "Wow, that’s something!"
