High school Building.
Hallway...
Lou Lan and his minions blocked Xue Hua as usual on the corridors they thought Xue Hua would taunt them and make them throw a punch only to be caught by their teachers like before. But the time he reacted differently, his face was as gorgeous as before but the aura coming from him was extremely cold. He must have been in a bad mood even after drinking two sweet drinks to ease his temper.
Seeing them not leaving, Xue Hua's smile fades as he stares at them like is bored. No matter what expression on his face is, for a handsome man like Xue Hua everyone's attention would still be his. Lou Lan flared, even more, when he heard the commotion in the audience.
"Wow~ the prince's smile suddenly fades but he is still so handsome~"
"Don't you see that bored look he gave Lou Lan? Those languid eyes are like saying 'Are you still not done?' Hahaha~"
"Xue Hua just transferred a few weeks ago but his results are greater than anyone in our school. Flawless beauty and brains, what a combination."
"Male God. My Male God look here~ Kyaa~"
"He looks so otherworldly that it wouldn't be hard to bend a straight man like me. Gosh~ he looks so hot when he smiles..."
"Shut up! The Male God is for us girls! None for you guys!!!"
"What are these bitches saying!? Watch it! Huahua didn't even say what his sexuality is?!"
The female and male students were counter attacking each other so loudly that Xue Hua overheard the contents about his sexuality.
Xue Hua flashed a smile to the crowd and said, "This lord is Asexual. So unless you are the only one who can move my heart then... I can only say sorry ba~"
SILENCE~
KYAAAAHHHH~
There was a short silence in the area when the students suddenly started screaming regardless of gender. They were so loud that the teachers all came over and saw the scene. They scolded the students who were screaming.
"It's almost time for your first class. Return to your rooms."
"What's with all the ruckus!? Prepare for class!"
"What are you doing again Student Lou!? Blocking Student Xue in the hallway, are the teachers' nothing in your eyes? I will inform your father about this stupidity. Go back to your class now!"
Even the dean had to come out and help calm the students. He had always been biased towards students with good grades and sides with Xue Hua who was the hope of their school.
"Student Xue I heard from your brother that you were not feeling well in the mornings and weren't able to attend the morning ceremony. Don't worry as long as you attend classes on time there is no need to go to the morning ceremonies in the future." said the Dean with a smile on his face.
Xue Hua acted like a model student and light nods towards the old educator.
"Thank you for your understanding, Dean. I've heard about the incoming Mathematics Olympiad. I would like to join in that event," said Xue Hua while his real thoughts were, 'I heard the Champion of the Olympiad would receive prize money of 300,000 renminbi. With that much, it should be enough to spend breakfast with the stinky old men every day and save some more for my sweets.'
Upon hearing the request of the model student beside him, the old dean was so delighted that his eyes sparkled. He left his office today because of the incoming Math Olympiad at the end of this month. He wanted to ask this boy to join the event. Who would have thought that the boy himself would want to join? This is a piece of good news. He was willing to comply with whatever the little genius requested for as long as he brought glory to his school.
With an amiable smile on his wrinkled face, the old dean said to Xue Hua, "How about this Student Xue, can you come with this old man in his office so we can talk about that Olympiad you are interested in?"
"But my morning classes..." said Xue Hua as his eyes wandered on his Math Teacher who is supposed to teach Math for the first class.
This usually strict lady teacher was smiling gently at Xue Hua. She overheard the conversation between the two. When the Math Olympiad was mentioned, especially hearing Xue Hua's interest in joining made her extremely happy.
The Lady math Teacher said, "You are excused, Student Xue. It is better to prepare for the Olympiad ahead of time if you wish to join the competition and if you don't mind can the Teacher help by giving you some exercise sheets every day. Of course, the teacher will be giving extra points for it. Is that alright?"
"Then Student Xue would thank the teacher for help. At first, I was planning on going to the library to look for a free exercise book since I don't have money to buy exercise booklets. With Teacher's help I no longer waste money on it. My brother and I were poor with no parents and I am a bit embarrassed to ask my big brother for extra money. Teacher, Student Xue will thank you in advance. My goal is championship after all!"
"That's good. That is such a nice goal."
The Old Dean and the math teacher were joyous when they heard the boy's goal of the championship. They also know about the boy's background. Their family exiled them both brothers and the elder brother had been working all day and night just to get money for the two of them.
Student Xue Hua's entrance exams results were perfect and it was enough for the boy to get a scholarship but the elder brother didn't want his younger brother to be pressured in his studies and still paid the full payment for the tuition fee. These Xue Brothers are truly brilliant gems among the rest. Not only are their appearances highly attractive, but they were also both born smart.
They heard that the elder brother had created a law company while still in college. He passed his bar exams even before he graduated and was entitled as the youngest, a perfect and strict lawyer in the country. Xue Yan is extremely well-known in the political field.
An extremely righteous and rational lawyer whose win rate is a hundred percent. Anyone who can hire him would win the suit and at the same time, he wouldn't accept clients that are on the bad side. Money never blinds his justice.
The old dean brought Student Xue with him to his office while the math teacher was smiling as she saw them off but the moment she turned around to look at Lou Lan and his minion her kind smile faded and turned stern as she had always been.
"What are you guys still doing here? Did you not hear the first bell? Class is starting soon!"
"Yes, Teacher."
The students all entered their designated rooms. Even Lou Lan left with his group with anger painted on his face. He was glaring in the direction where Xue Hua had left. But he could only turn his head away when he saw the cold stare of the Math Lady Teacher on him.
Lou Lan murmured, "Tsk! This won't be the end! He is just an illegitimate child!"
Most teachers already knew how slick and sly this Lou Lan is. He isn't especially talented or smart. His appearance is only a bit above average but compared to Xue Hua is only a commoner. Xue Hua is a genius who possesses both brains and beauty. The typical Male God and ideal model student. Everyone likes him and Lou Lan is envious of that kind of attention.
Xue Hua spends a few hours in the Dean's office talking about the preparation for the Olympiad. Xue Hua was directly chosen as one of the candidates due to his perfect scores ever since he had transferred to this school. His assignments, quizzes, exams and even exercise books were all solved with perfection.
There are proofs of his answers and everyone saw him write them as the teachers gave him more attention during examinations. If they don't watch over him, he would fall asleep and might miss the time for passing the exam papers to the invigilators. After school, Xue Hua walks back to the bridge to collect his money.
On his way to the under the bridge, Lou Lan and his minions had blocked him as expected. They waited at some alley until they saw him come over. This spoiled young master had even hired some gangster to beat up Xue Hua to death for him.
But what Lou Lan had not expected is that Xue Hua had longed to calculate his fate and learned about his plan to ambush him. These hired thugs were infamous in the area for drug selling and gang fights. They were tightly being under the watch of the police but unable to catch them as they knew the back alleys like rats who had to live there all their life.
They were waiting patiently for their prey to come over and Xue Hua who hired them is obviously already impatient from staying at the alley for no reason. He is a second-generation child who did suffer any hardship since birth. How clean are the alleys?
This place is sometimes used as a garbage dump. No one would clean it regularly and the smell here is rotten to the point of making others not used to feeling nauseated of it. A young master like Lou Lan had already puked countless times that the thugs wanted to throw him out. If not for the huge money he is giving them and that he is surnamed Lou, this young master wouldn't last in the alleys this long.
Lou Lan whose face is wrinkled in disgust, "Why the hell isn't he here yet?!! That damn bastard!"
"Little boy, are you sure that your brother is as beautiful as you've told us?"
"We love raping boys but they must be beautiful like you do~"
Lou Lan averted his eyes in disdain and said, "He is prettier than I do! Everyone says so!"
"So you are jealous and want to ruin your brother? What a cruel brat~ hehe..."
"Who is brother? He is nothing but an illegitimate son of my father. A bastard that not even my dad wants him. My dad gave me that money to do whatever I want. Just ruin him, have your fun and it would be the best if he dies~" said Lou Lan.
"Hahaha~ what a cruel boy. But we like it. Hahaha~"
What this group of trash didn't know is that Xue Hua had called for the police. When he arrived in the alleys he and the group of police had already surrounded the area and overheard their conversation.
They couldn't help but feel bad for Xue Hua who is now pale as if he lost his soul. The message he got from Lou Lan is that he got caught by thugs and wanted to ask him for ransom. He didn't want to tell their father, afraid he would get scolded and called for his brother, Xue Hua instead.
But Xue Hua called for the police just in case that there are gangsters who would have expected they would hear the truth about such an event. They felt that Xue Hua is unlucky to have Lou Lan as a brother. Even if Xue Hua is indeed an illegitimate child it wasn't his fault that he was born in the first place. The ones who created him are those illicit couples who did the sin. The child is innocent.
"Raise your hand. Police!"
"Fuck! Who called the police!?"
"Run! If you get caught then it's a prison for you!"
"It's this stupid brat's fault!" said one of the thugs who was glaring at the stunned Lou Lan.
The police looked unkindly towards Lou Lan. They pointed their guns towards the thugs and Lou Lan with dark faces. Echoes of curses and bad words can be heard in the alley. The police and gangsters fought until the latter were all captured and in the end, Lou Lan who hired these gangsters were captured together as well.
The handcuffed Lou Lan glared and shout at Xue Hua, "You stupid thing! I told you to come along. Who fucking told you to bring the police with you!?"
"But you told me you were in danger, I have to call for help," said Xue Hua pretending to be sad while laughing in his heart.
Lou Lan wanted to spit on him upon seeing him acting as an innocent bystander. But the kind police officer couldn't hold back anymore and grabbed Lou Lan, throwing him inside the police car like a sack of rice.
"Watch your attitude! The trash is you! Not your brother!" said the police.
Lou Lan hysterically yelled in the car, "Let go of me. I'm the sole heir of the Lou Clan. My father will not forgive you! You useless police, I will have your father fire you!" He happens to shout at the police officer and threaten him not knowing that his man is a low-key important person. He is the son of the Mayor of this city.
As expected hearing, the threat from Lou Lan, the kind police officer's face turned cold and mocking.
"I truly wish that the Clan leader of the Fallen Lou, who couldn't even have a descendant with Yin Yang eyes, would ask the mayor of this city to fire this useless son of his!"
Lou Lan was rendered speechless by that reality. He was trying to pressure the police officer into scaring him with his Clan's background only to hit a metal plate this time. The son of the Mayor means the next into the position. He is even more powerful than the fallen Lou Clan's descendants like him.
"With your existence is enough to show how crooked the Lou Clan is, no wonder they have fallen that low." He clicks his tongue in dislike towards Lou Lan but smiles in front of Xue Hua. "Student Xue they call you an illegitimate child but you are more righteous than most young men I've met. It is a pleasure to meet you. I'm Hou Feng. You can always visit the police district if you have time." said the kind police officer.
After grabbing all the thugs and Lou Lan, Hou Feng gave Xue Hua pocket money to buy food when he saw how thin and weak-looking Xue Hua is. Then they left by car, only Xue Hua was left at the scene.
"Lucky~ now I have money to buy some crepes on the way," said Xue Hua whose innocent look faded the moment the adults had disappeared.. No one would expect him to be a two-faced brat unless they saw his true face.
