Chapter 254: Sorry, I Win This Round
Originally, being grabbed like that, Ye Liang Chen was actually pretty mad.
He furrowed his brow, thinking: “What is with everyone and their grandma trying to pick a fight with me today?!”
He tried to shake the person’s arm off directly.
But instead of freeing himself, his arm got pinched so painfully he almost wanted to cry.
Deeply creasing his brow, Ye Liang Chen looked at the skinny guy with glasses and thought, He looks so flimsy, like he’d be an easy pushover. Turns out, he was wrong — this guy was surprisingly strong (T-big).
He secretly pondered: “If I get into a fight with him, sure, nobody’s gonna come out completely unscathed. But honestly, I didn’t come here to get into a brawl today.”
So he said, “Bro, we’re all here trying to impress the ladies. Can you give me some face?”
“Besides, Shen Meng Jie already left, so arguing further’s pointless. How about this? Just give me a little face, good brother?”
While talking, he winked and pulled out a hundred yuan from his pocket.
Seeing Wang Xuezhang take off his glasses and feeling the increasing pain in his arm, Ye Liang Chen quickly pulled out another two hundred yuan.
……
“The sea has no end, the moon waxes and wanes, life on earth may be insufficient, but meeting you fills in all the gaps.”
“Hello, Shen Meng Jie, let’s get re-acquainted. My name is Liang Chen, Ye Liang Chen — the Liang Chen from Ye Liang Chen.”
Hearing that, Shen Meng Jie snorted softly and cast a sidelong glance at Ye Liang Chen: “Are you here specifically to look for me today?”
“Wow, I see right through you,” Ye Liang Chen flicked his hair and tried to muster a confident smile, but took a deep breath instead.
Sure, that slap earlier wasn’t as big as Long Aotian’s, but it still hurt a little.
“I came to see you because I was worried,” he said.
Hearing this, Shen Meng Jie really couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “Worried about me? What could you possibly be worried about?”
Her smile made Ye Liang Chen’s eyes go wide.
“The guy who was playing hard to get with you yesterday — if I’m not mistaken, his name is probably Long Aotian, right?”
Gritting through the pain, a confident smile curled on his lips as he flicked his bangs and added, “I know him. And that’s exactly why I worry about you!”
At this, Shen Meng Jie’s initial disinterest suddenly turned into a flicker of curiosity.
She looked at Ye Liang Chen with interest: “You know Long Aotian?”
“More than just knowing him,” Ye Liang Chen loved to pour on the dirt — he’d throw dirty water all over Long Aotian: “We’re in the same city. It’s a huge disgrace to me!”
Taking a deep breath, his eyes looked bleak: “He’s a total menace at school, completely heartless, and he’s gone too far!”
“There was a girl who liked me a lot, even saw me as her savior of life. But Long Aotian felt threatened by me, so one day — when I wasn’t around — he… he forced that girl who liked me!”
“He’s despicable, the worst of the worst. Didn’t want me near that girl. Was afraid I’d cause trouble for him again. So he beat me, insulted me…”
“Yesterday, I saw him playing these mind games with a beautiful girl like you — I just couldn’t stand it anymore. And fate must have heard my sincere prayers because I ended up meeting you again in this sea of people.”
“I tell you all this so you can see what kind of person Long Aotian really is. I just can’t stand to see you be deceived by him anymore!”
After a long speech, Shen Meng Jie was a bit confused.
Are the Long Aotian he’s talking about and the Long Aotian she knew really the same person?
Ye Liang Chen flicked his hair again, a confident smile on his face: “After all, we’ve only been friends for a minute since yesterday.”
Shen Meng Jie rolled her eyes: “Can you stop flipping your hair in front of me?”
“What’s wrong?” Ye Liang Chen automatically flipped his hair: “Honestly, I don’t want to, but everyone says I look cool when I do that.”
He spread his hands, flipping his hair again: “Okay, I admit it, I look cool. That’s why I flick my bangs.”
“Hold on, none of that matters right now. The main thing is—you must be very careful about Long Aotian.”
There’s some gamble involved here.
Ye Liang Chen was betting that someone like Long Aotian, who spotlights beauty and runs wild, can’t resist a beauty like Shen Meng Jie. He was betting on Long Aotian’s inner lowness and filth…
Shen Meng Jie frowned, initially wanting to say something, but a sudden flash of inspiration crossed her mind.
Her eyes softened with a hint of moisture.
“So, you’re saying Long Aotian is actually a bad guy?”
Seeing the change in her expression, Ye Liang Chen heaved a sigh of relief — he knew he’d bet right this time.
“Yes, he’s totally insane!”
“Don’t be fooled by his exterior. Inside, he’s rotten to the core.”
“Unlike me, whose heart is still pure, like a flawless white lotus.”
Shen Meng Jie’s lips twitched — pretending to be a green tea girl in front of him. Tch, how should I put it? It’s kinda funny…
“So what should I do? With you saying that, isn’t Long Aotian just going to keep going until he gets what he wants?”
“Should I report to the counselor?”
When Shen Meng Jie asked actively, Ye Liang Chen’s lips curled into a sneaky grin.
Confident and proud, he shook his head: “Reporting to the counselor wouldn’t help. I know that b*stard Long Aotian way too well. Unless you switch schools…”

“But don’t worry, since fate brought us together, I must be here to save and redeem you!”
Seeing Ye Liang Chen pretending to be deep with a subtle expression, Shen Meng Jie thought: This game is just too entertaining.
Ye Liang Chen pretended to ponder for a moment: “Someone like Long Aotian — the kind who won’t stop until he gets what he wants — he might even go crazy for you. And I can’t always be by your side to protect you.”
He took a deep breath and frowned seriously.
Shen Meng Jie watched his performance quietly.
When he looked her way, she quickly put on a worried, sad face.
Seeing her concern, Ye Liang Chen finally revealed his plan: “If you trust me, just do as I say. Maybe this is the only way to help you escape Long Aotian’s claws.”
“What’s the plan?”
“Pretend to obey Long Aotian,” he said, quickening his speech: “I mean, just pretend. Only in this way can Long Aotian not resort to extreme measures against you.”
“Shen Meng Jie, you’re beautiful. Among everyone I know, your looks and figure are in the top four.”
Hearing that, Shen Meng Jie furrowed her brow, slightly displeased. But Ye Liang Chen’s next words made her smile knowingly.
“But you’re very fresh to Long Aotian. If you fake obedience, make him fall completely for you, then when he loves you the most — just come over to me. You’ll at least take half his life.”
This is Ye Liang Chen’s sneaky plan: if Shen Meng Jie agrees, he can use her as evidence to prove Long Aotian has transferred his affections elsewhere.
Then he wouldn’t believe that Hu Yu Ying, Li Qing Xue, or Lin Wan Ning could endure Long Aotian’s fickle heart.
As long as there’s even a tiny crack in their hearts, he’ll seize the opportunity to step in.
Ye Liang Chen is confident that during the time he wins over Hu Yu Ying and the others, he can also make Shen Meng Jie fall completely for him.
This wave not only wins over Hu Yu Ying and the others but also captures Shen Meng Jie.
Sorry, this time I win!
