You Won't Do!

Chapter 25: You... Can't Do It!

Actually.

Back in class.

When Tang Zichen said she had a teammate candidate, Chen Ye had a premonition.

However, it was hard to say anything without Tang Zichen confirming it herself.

After all.

Chairman Chen had only asked her to look after his son in the Secret Realm.

Mere looking after didn't require forming a team.

If it were Chen Ye, he wouldn't team up with someone he'd agreed to look after.

Because once you team up, you have to split your profits equally!

Who would do that?

Now that the girl had come to him, Chen Ye's premonition had turned into a guess.

Perhaps she really wanted to talk about teaming up!

If his guess was correct, Chen Ye was very touched by Tang Zichen's generosity.

But…

Despite being touched, why did she want to meet in a small grove?

What decent person goes to a small grove?

Didn't she know that only couples, or illicit lovers, would go into small groves?

The male classmate who delivered the message left after he finished.

After he left, the three people in the dormitory stared intently at Chen Ye.

"Old Chen!" Qian Fugui spoke first, forcing a smile. "You're something else! Without making a sound, you actually managed to get Class Monitor Tang?"

He looked envious, jealous, and hateful.

Before Chen Ye could speak, Lu Yong retorted, "Fugui, don't spout nonsense. Maybe Class Monitor Tang just has something to discuss with Chen Ye?"

As he spoke, Lu Yong secretly signaled Qian Fugui, urging him to pay attention to Zhao Zheng and not to speak carelessly.

Zhao Zheng's expression was very unpleasant at this moment…

"If Class Monitor Tang has something to discuss with Chen Ye, she could have said it openly. Why sneak around to meet in a small grove?"

Whether Qian Fugui didn't see Lu Yong's signal, or he deliberately said it that way, was unclear.

Zhao Zheng seemed unable to listen any longer and said, "Old Chen, since Class Monitor Tang is looking for you, you should go first! We'll wait for you at the cafeteria."

"Okay!"

Chen Ye agreed and left the dormitory.

He could have explained.

He just needed to tell everyone that his father had once asked Tang Zichen to look after him.

But he felt it was unnecessary and he had no obligation to explain.

If this matter got out, it would also affect his father's reputation.

There was a pond in the small grove.

Beside the pond, Chen Ye saw Tang Zichen.

"Class Monitor, I heard you wanted to see me?"

Chen Ye greeted her with a smile, while secretly sizing up the girl in front of him.

He had to admit, this girl had a great image and temperament. She was also tall and graceful, perfect in every way.

It's just that her bust size wasn't very large…

This wasn't a big problem, though. Tang Zichen had just come of age, and there was still room for further development.

It was no wonder that outstanding "prodigies" in the class, like Zhao Zheng, had a good impression of her.

Tang Zichen's appearance fit the image of a goddess in boys' minds.

Of course, no one was absolutely perfect.

Tang Zichen's flaw might be her somewhat cold demeanor, making her unapproachable. Also, while her eyes were beautiful, they lacked the usual liveliness of a normal young girl. Her gaze was deep, like that of a female hero carrying the weight of the world, always with an unresolvable melancholy.

"Chen Ye, you should know why I'm looking for you."

Tang Zichen got straight to the point as soon as she spoke.

Chen Ye nodded. "My father told me that he entrusted you to look after me in the Secret Realm."

"So, you agree to be my teammate?" Tang Zichen asked.

Chen Ye was stunned.

So it really is about teaming up?

He couldn't help but say, "Class monitor, my dad asked you to look after me in the Secret Realm. You don't actually need to team up to do that. As long as I follow you, it'll be enough. Aren't you sacrificing your own interests by doing this? Once we team up, the potential we gain from killing Jumping Corpses has to be split equally among teammates."

"I know."

Tang Zichen said, "My father is a very important person to me. Chairman Chen saved my father back then. To me, he's not only my benefactor but also a hero worthy of respect!"

"Chen Ye, everyone has their own ideas. I can't understand why you chose to match with a C-class Hero, but I won't say anything. Since Chairman Chen asked me to look after you, I must do my best to repay him."

"So, you're doing this out of gratitude?"

Chen Ye first sighed with emotion, then smiled and said, "I thought you were impressed with me!"

This was clearly a joke.

Unexpectedly, Tang Zichen seriously sized up Chen Ye and said with a straight face, "Your appearance does meet my requirements. However, the future partner in my mind must be stronger than me. You... are not!"

To be told 'you are not' by a woman to my face?

This is unbearable!

Chen Ye almost proposed a one-on-one duel with the girl in front of him!

With his current strength, he could definitely unlock eighteen skills from this girl.

"Class monitor, your talent is so good that no one your age can surpass you. Therefore, according to your requirements, you can only remain single for life."

Tang Zichen calmly replied, "There's nothing wrong with remaining single for life. At least I won't have to waste my time on trivial family matters."

Chen Ye: "..."

He could tell now that this girl's mindset was different from that of a normal girl.

It was likely that she pursued powerful strength.

No wonder Chen Ye always felt that Tang Zichen lacked the youthful spirit of young people.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now," Tang Zichen's voice sounded.

Chen Ye nodded, "Okay, I'm going to the cafeteria to eat too."

The two parted ways.

As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria.

Someone called out to Chen Ye.

"Old Chen, over here."

Chen Ye looked and saw his roommates had occupied a table and were waiting for him.

They had even gotten his food.

When Chen Ye sat down, Lu Yong smiled and said, "Mr. Qian is treating us today. He said not to hold back, and there are plans for the evening too."

There were indeed many dishes on the table.

Chen Ye said, "Mr. Qian has really spent a lot."

Among the four people in the dorm, Qian Fugui was definitely the richest.

The reason this kid could get into Wu University was that his father used his wealth, donating a huge sum to Wu University.

However, Qian Fugui didn't know about this.

He still thought he was admitted to Wu University with special consideration.

His father had gone to great lengths to protect his self-esteem.

At this moment.

Qian Fugui suddenly said in a low voice, "We're entering the Secret Realm tomorrow, and I still haven't found a teammate. There's a high chance I won't make it back this time. Why save money and not spend it?"

"My father always said the most painful thing in life is to die without spending your money. So, you guys don't need to be polite."

As soon as he said this.

Everyone became a little awkward.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Fugui, don't jinx it!" Lu Yong spoke first.

Zhao Zheng followed, "No one can predict what will happen in the Secret Realm. Even if we team up, it doesn't guarantee safety. The important thing is mindset! Fugui, your current mindset isn't quite right."

They could offer advice.

But no one was willing to step forward and say they would team up with Qian Fugui...

Qian Fugui gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He knew that given his situation, he couldn't blame others for disliking him.

"Let's not talk about this... By the way, Old Chen, what did Class Monitor Tang want to talk to you about?"

As soon as this question was asked.

Lu Yong and Zhao Zheng both pricked up their ears.
