Riverside Rendezvous

[Ding, the Host manipulated events behind the scenes, transferring Principal Ren from the protagonist's faction to another position, gaining 300 Villain Points. Chu Bai's Protagonist Halo -10, Host's Villain Halo +10!]

During evening self-study, Wang Haoran received this message.

This surprised him a little.

He had originally thought that Tang Bingyun would take a few days to buffer before transferring the Old Principal to another position.

He didn't expect Tang Bingyun to act so quickly.

She had agreed to his request in the evening and immediately issued the directive to the Old Principal that night.

Once the Old Principal left, Chu Bai's protection at school would be gone.

Dealing with Chu Bai at school would become much simpler from now on.

The last evening self-study class ended.

Xu Muyan pushed her bicycle towards the school gate.

Chu Bai followed behind.

After leaving the school gate, Chu Bai was preparing to go their separate ways with Xu Muyan.

However, Chu Bai suddenly noticed that Xu Muyan wasn't heading in the direction of her home, but towards the Riverside near the school.

Chu Bai found it strange and quickly followed.

He followed Xu Muyan to the Riverside.

At the stone railing by the Riverside, someone was waiting.

It was Wang Haoran.

Chu Bai was furious!

This Xu Muyan wasn't going home on time, but was actually coming here to meet Wang Haoran! How shameless! Chu Bai really wanted to rush over and disrupt their date.

But he held back.

Rushing over to cause trouble would only make Xu Muyan dislike him.

It wouldn't be worth it.

Chu Bai thought for a moment, immediately took out his phone, and dialed Father Xu's number.

"Hello, Chu Bai, is something wrong?"

"Evening self-study is over now, but Xu Muyan didn't go back. She's having a secret meeting with that Wang Haoran by the Riverside!"

"What?!" Father Xu was enraged. "Watch them closely, make sure to keep a tight watch, prevent that kid named Wang Haoran from taking Yan Yan somewhere else. I'll be right there!"

Chu Bai heard hurried footsteps from the other end of the phone.

Clearly, Father Xu was very anxious to leave immediately.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on them!" Chu Bai hung up the phone happily.

Chu Bai was quite clear about what Father Xu's profession was.

He had practiced his fists and kicks.

When Father Xu arrived later, it looked like he would definitely give Wang Haoran a good beating.

Wang Haoran, that pampered rich second generation who couldn't even stand a gust of wind, how many punches from Father Xu could he withstand? Chu Bai was very curious and also looked forward to it.

"There's a good show to watch later!"

"Chu Bai, what are you doing hiding here sneakily?"

Just as Chu Bai was staring at Wang Haoran and Xu Muyan's every move, a voice came from behind him.

Chu Bai turned around and immediately looked disdainful: "Fan Jian, I like being here, what's it to you? If you keep yapping, believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

"I don't believe it, try hitting me!" Fan Jian took a few steps forward.

"You!"

Chu Bai clenched his fists, but quickly released them.

He really wanted to beat up Fan Jian, but he didn't dare to bear the consequences.

During evening self-study, the Old Principal had come to find him.

The Old Principal said he would be transferred from Shui Ze High School soon and would go to another school to be the principal.

Without the Old Principal's protection, if Chu Bai got into a fight again, he might be directly expelled.

"Trash, I knew you wouldn't dare to touch me." Fan Jian smiled smugly, swung his schoolbag, and rode away on his bicycle.

However, when he swung his schoolbag, a bundle of things fell out of it.

Fan Jian had already ridden far away on his bicycle.

And this bundle of things lay alone on the ground, and no one around saw it.

Chu Bai immediately went to pick up the things.

This bundle of things was all red bills, roughly estimated to be at least fifty thousand.

"Fan Jian couldn't possibly have this much money. I think Wang Haoran must have given it to him. This is ill-gotten gains, but now it belongs to me!"

Chu Bai stuffed the bundle of bills into his schoolbag without hesitation.

He didn't feel any guilt in his heart.

Fan Jian had provoked him just now, and he had held back from hitting him.

Consider him lucky.

This money would be considered Fan Jian apologizing to him.

Anyway, Fan Jian hadn't noticed his money falling just now, and even if he found out later, he definitely wouldn't know where it fell.

It was early summer at this time.

The weather was quite hot, and the breeze from the Riverside brought a refreshing coolness.

Xu Muyan parked her Bicycle, feeling a bit nervous.

Usually, after Evening Self-Study, she went straight home. This was the first time she wasn't going home on time, coming instead to meet a boy.

Evening Self-Study ended at 9:30 PM, and it was already 9:40 PM.

Originally, Xu Muyan didn't want to come, but somehow, she ended up coming anyway.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" Xu Muyan asked cautiously.

"The milk tea is pretty good, just a little sweet," Wang Haoran said with a smile.

"You called me here just to say that?" Xu Muyan was taken aback.

"Yeah, what else did you think?"

"..." Xu Muyan was speechless.

"Alright, I'm not messing with you anymore. I called you here because I wanted to give you some advice."

"You know everything? Did Wen Jing tell you?"

"She mentioned it unintentionally."

"Hey, hey, I almost argued with my dad because of you, but let me make it clear, I don't like you!" Xu Muyan emphasized.

"I know, I know." Wang Haoran knew she was just being stubborn, but he didn't point it out.

"It's good that you understand." Xu Muyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Call your mom and tell her you're walking by the Riverside with a male classmate for a bit, and ask her to pick you up." Wang Haoran handed his phone to Xu Muyan.

"I can just ride my Bicycle back later."

"Right after class, there are a lot of students, so it's safe on the road, and it's fine for you to ride your Bicycle. But after a while, there will be very few people on the road, and it won't be safe for you to ride your Bicycle alone."

Hearing this, a hint of warmth surfaced in Xu Muyan's heart.

He was quite thoughtful of her.

Wang Haoran teased, "Besides, have you thought about it? There's no one around here, and I'm alone with you. Aren't you afraid I might have bad intentions towards you? If you notify your mom to pick you up, you won't have to be afraid of being alone with me."

Xu Muyan was stunned. She really hadn't thought about that.

Or to be more precise, she didn't have that kind of guard up against Wang Haoran at all.

"You're quite considerate, aren't you?" Xu Muyan huffed softly, but couldn't help but think to herself.

If a girl were this guy's girlfriend, she'd probably be very happy, right?

He's handsome, has a good family background, does well in school, sings well, and most importantly, he's very careful and considerate towards girls, making them feel safe.

Ding, successfully stirred the heart of one of the female leads, Xu Muyan, gaining 200 Villain Points.

Xu Muyan took Wang Haoran's phone and called her mother.

After the call ended.

"It's quite cool by the riverside, how about we take a walk?" Wang Haoran suggested.

"Okay."

Xu Muyan nodded.

The two walked side by side, enjoying the breeze by the river and admiring the night view.

As they walked, their hands and shoulders occasionally brushed against each other.

Wang Haoran clearly felt that Xu Muyan was very nervous.

He glanced over and saw that the side of her face was a little red.

"Look over there!"

Wang Haoran suddenly pointed to the opposite side of the river.

"There's nothing there, what are you looking at?" Xu Muyan asked, a little confused.

Wang Haoran smiled without speaking, just checked the time on his phone. About ten seconds later.

Bang!

Bang bang!

Fireworks shot up from the opposite side of the river, exploding in the air and displaying dazzling, beautiful colors.

Along the long riverbank as far as the eye could see, colorful scenery was visible.

The area around the riverbank was illuminated as bright as day.

A sweet smile of surprise and joy bloomed on Xu Muyan's pretty face.
