Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 594 - 264: Showing Off on the Showing Off Tree
Being fierce doesn't solve problems. Dealing with the likes of Liu Yingjun is a minor issue that can be postponed.
Right now, the most important thing is... to stay calm!
Han Lie forcibly tugged at the corners of his mouth, managing a smile, and nodded toward "that direction."
Wow, what a display of composure and calm self-possession, truly the demeanor of a master!
Unfortunately, the effect was vastly different from what he had imagined.
"Wow! So handsome, so handsome!"
Pan Ge led the way with an exaggerated cry, clapping enthusiastically.
Yu Yun, Fang Feifei, Yin Qin, Liu Beibei, and the other girls from the Arts Department were like a gang of ruffians, blowing wolf whistles and cheerfully cheering him on.
"Oh my, God Lie is smiling at us!"
"Ah, I'm dead!"
"Great stuff! Worth a reward!"
Han Lie: "..."
Han Lie felt his vision go black, his head buzzing, as if they had just triggered a decade's worth of cerebral thrombosis and twenty years of migraines in him!
Meanwhile, Chen Yanfei and Ding Xiang were sitting in the front row... Hey, don't you two glare at me! What does this have to do with me?!
Chen Yanfei had a stern face, looking quite unfriendly.
Ding Xiang pursed her lips, her aggrieved gaze fixed on Han Lie.
Huang Li, a chubby girl, and the others beside them were quietly observing Chen Yanfei. They vaguely sensed there was something going on between her and Han Lie but weren't sure about the specifics, so they felt both baffled and annoyed.
What the hell is up with that group of little bitches behind us?
Are they here to crash the party?
Sister Fei, should we do something?
Good heavens, it was as if they were just waiting for Sister Fei's command to cause a scene in the auditorium...
But, after all, they were still too well-behaved. They had always been diligent students, lacking both experience and the courage to act recklessly, so they didn't dare to start a fight.
Compared to those beautiful slackers from the Humanities and Arts Department, their presence was clearly weaker.
Next to Huang Li was Chen Yantong, who had been dragged here forcefully.
This girl's eyes nearly popped out when she saw the dean, department heads, and other leaders escorting Han Lie to the side of the lectern.
Da Tou, Chen Dong, and the other boys were flabbergasted, their faces pale.
"Damn it!"
An expletive slipped out, leaving the group of them stunned.
"That... that loser from last time, he's actually Han Lie?!"
Fang Xing glanced over, gave a thumbs-up, and said, "You've got guts! Still calling him a loser now? I'd like to see how capable you are, or how big your family fortune is!"
Xiao Qing was even more direct. "God Lie doesn't even bother to stoop to your level, and you lot really think you're something special?"
Those boys were immediately at a loss for words, their faces flushed red with shame.
Chen Yantong sat in the first row, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles as Han Lie walked past her.
She twisted in her seat, not knowing where to look.
Wherever she looked, it felt as if he was mocking her.
Luckily, Chen Yanfei paid her no mind; otherwise, she really wouldn't have known how to cope and would have had to cover her face and flee.
She cursed fiercely in her heart: Damn it! If you're so incredible, why didn't you say anything!
However, despite her inner bravado, when Han Lie's gaze searched in her direction, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
You can't see me, you can't see me!
It wasn't that Chen Yantong was afraid of Han Lie; she was too concerned about her pride to endure such an embarrassing situation.
Her nervousness was only slightly relieved when the girls behind her started their jeering.
She instinctively looked back... Holy shit!
Where did all these pretty girls come from?!
Are they all Han Lie's... hmm?
A wave of excitement suddenly welled up inside her, and she quietly nudged Huang Li, asking, "Where did those girls behind us come from?"
Huang Li whispered back, "They're from the Humanities and Arts Department."
Huang Li didn't know much more, but that didn't stop her from guessing a critical part – a very critical part.
Seeing Chen Yanfei's face suddenly darken, Chen Yantong's mood instantly brightened.
So that big shot isn't actually your man, huh? Then what were you putting on airs with me for?
Her eyes darted around. Suddenly, she turned back and snapped, "Where are you all from? Why are you so ill-mannered? God Lie's official girlfriend hasn't even spoken, so what gives you green teas the right to show off?"
Silence...
The surroundings suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Honestly, nobody expected a stranger like her to inexplicably stir up trouble.
It was too sudden...
Just as the feisty girls led by Yin Qin and Zhao Shengnan were about to start cursing, Pan Ge suddenly raised his left hand, stopping everyone's agitation.
Then, with a smile, he asked, "The official girlfriend of God Lie? Which one is she?"
Chen Yantong lifted her chin and said arrogantly, "Of course it's our Sister Fei! She and God Lie are childhood sweethearts, a perfect match of talent and looks. I advise you to have some self-awareness and stop being a nuisance here!"
SWISH!
Everyone's gaze—Xiao Qing, Huang Li, Fang Xing, Da Tou, and the others—all turned in unison towards Chen Yanfei.
Chen Yanfei was basically baffled.
I...
You...
???
In truth, she had been ready to battle it out with Xi Luting and her group, but she had never anticipated that before a single word of the lecture had been spoken, she would become the target of public criticism.
Chen Yantong, you're something else! Really, well done!
Chen Yanfei smiled through gritted teeth, then calmly looked toward the lectern, finding Han Lie's eyes.
Do whatever you want! If I say a single word in response, I lose!
This wasn't avoiding the fight, but shifting the pressure.
You damn dog! While I can still hold back, you'd better hurry up and clean up your mess!
Forget it; the scoundrel had decided to just lie low and do nothing.
Han Lie, from the corner of his eye, noticed the chaos and dispute in the audience but dared not intervene in the slightest.
