In the past, although Liu Mengran did not like this fool, she would never deliberately bully him.
Today, she was in a terrible mood. She had received a call from home that morning—her father's heart disease had flared up again, and he needed bypass surgery at the hospital.
Her family was just an ordinary one. How could they afford the cost of such a major operation?
They had borrowed from every relative they could, yet they were still short by thirty or forty thousand yuan. Her mother had even been crying on the phone that morning.
But she was only a student still in school. How could she possibly help shoulder the burden at home?
Irritably taking a bite of food, she looked up and saw the school's fool sitting across from her, staring at her with drool hanging from his mouth. She immediately vented all her anger and resentment on Lu Fan.
"Top Campus Belle Liu, is your period irregular, or are your hemorrhoids acting up? Does me drinking my soup bother you too?"
The campus belle might be pretty, but he, Lu Fan, had his dignity too, okay? He had only taken one look at her. Did she really have to start cursing at him?
"Your period is irregular! Your whole family's period is irregular!"
Being cursed at by a fool, Liu Mengran instantly turned into a furious hen, pointing at Lu Fan and unleashing a torrent of insults.
"As expected of a campus belle. Even when she's cursing, she looks this good. If I could sleep with her..."
Lu Fan looked at the stunning campus belle erupting before him, his mind filled with lewd fantasies. As he thought about it, a vacant expression unconsciously appeared on his face.
After all, he had played the fool for twenty years. The expression on his face had become muscle memory.
Only after cursing for a while did Liu Mengran realize something was wrong. There were so many students around watching.
Besides, what kind of person was she, taking out the anger over what had happened at home on a fool?
Once she calmed down, an idea came to Liu Mengran. She instinctively lifted her head and looked at the fool before her.
This fool might be stupid, but he was one of the top second-generation rich heirs in the capital. Although he had been tricked out of all his assets, he had an Aunt who adored him deeply.
Lu Fan's Aunt was the president of Long University. Otherwise, Long University would never have allowed a fool to attend school here.
Moreover, Lu Fan's Aunt gave him spending money every few days. Although most of it had been swindled away by his classmates, given Lu Fan's status, getting tens of thousands of yuan definitely would not be difficult.
At that thought, an idea that went against her principles instantly took root.
"Maybe... I should borrow tens of thousands from this fool? That awful woman Liu Ruyan already tricked him out of a supercar. Borrowing just a few tens of thousands shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
Seeing Lu Fan finish eating and leave the cafeteria, Liu Mengran tossed down her chopsticks and hurried after him.
"Lu Fan!"
Lu Fan turned around in confusion and looked at Liu Mengran behind him.
"Is Top Campus Belle Liu really that petty? Cursing at me in the cafeteria wasn't enough, and now she's chasing after me to keep cursing?"
But Liu Mengran's next words made him realize he had overthought things.
"Lu Fan, um... my father needs forty—no, fifty thousand yuan for his operation. Can you lend it to me?"
"Borrow money?"
Lu Fan's first reaction was that another scammer had come knocking. But as he looked at Liu Mengran's breathtaking face and sexy, alluring figure, his eyes shifted as a sly idea rose in his mind.
"Borrow fifty thousand? I don't have that much money! But... I can ask Aunt for it. She has lots of money!"
Liu Mengran's face immediately lit up with joy, and she nodded repeatedly.
"Sorry for the trouble, Lu Fan. Once I earn money in the future, I'll definitely pay you back."
Looking at the grateful Liu Mengran before him, Lu Fan felt a wave of disgust. Isn't she basically saying she has no intention of paying me back?
You're only a sophomore now. It'll take at least three or four years before you can earn fifty thousand.
You think one empty promise is enough to swindle fifty thousand from me? Do you really think I'm still the fool I used to be?
"I can lend you the money, but you have to be my girlfriend. Aunt said she'll find me a pretty girlfriend in the future, and once I graduate, she'll let me marry her and make her my wife."
Lu Fan now knew that his fool persona was incredibly useful, so he simply continued pretending to be stupid. Even his tone carried a hint of dull-wittedness.
"What? Lu Fan, you..."
Liu Mengran was furious. When someone else borrowed money from him, he just had to take out his phone and transfer it. Yet when she borrowed money, he made such an outrageous demand.
Wasn't this taking advantage of her predicament? Liu Mengran turned to leave, but when she thought of her father lying in a hospital bed, she stopped again and faced Lu Fan.
"This fool isn't right in the head. He probably only said that because he thinks I'm pretty. With how foolish he is, he probably doesn't even know what boyfriends and girlfriends are, much less anything between men and women.
I can play along with him for now, but for safety's sake, I should first find out what he means."
"Um... Lu Fan, do you know what boyfriends and girlfriends do?"
Liu Mengran looked at Lu Fan's vacant expression and asked softly. Lu Fan almost instantly understood what she was thinking.
"Of course I know! Boyfriends and girlfriends kiss, hug, and sleep together! Aunt even taught me that."
Seeing Liu Mengran's expression darken, Lu Fan hurriedly continued to play dumb.
"If you become my girlfriend, you'll have to put me to sleep from now on. I'm scared of sleeping alone in such a big room."
"Just put you to sleep, nothing else?"
Liu Mengran asked softly again.
"What else can we do?"
Lu Fan asked back with a foolish look on his face, instantly making her lower her guard. Little did she know that Lu Fan was already laughing himself breathless inside.
He was increasingly convinced that the identity of a fool was simply too useful. Scamming and tricking people in the future would be unbelievably satisfying.
"Looks like his foolish brain really doesn't understand anything between men and women. Just kissing and hugging—I can endure that. Besides, Lu Fan is only a little foolish. He's actually very handsome, so I won't be losing out too much."
For the sake of those fifty thousand yuan, Liu Mengran could only comfort herself like this.
"Then when can you give me the money, Lu Fan? My father urgently needs the operation."
"I'll go to Aunt's house and ask for the money right now. But from now on, you're my girlfriend, okay?"
Seeing Liu Mengran nod, Lu Fan was already grinning inwardly. If kissing, hugging, and sleeping together were all acceptable, then what came next would naturally follow.
Lu Fan would use his actions to make Liu Mengran, the Number One Campus Belle, understand one thing: a man's mouth was a lying ghost, even if that man was a fool.
Lu Fan stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Liu Mengran's slender waist. Her little waist was soft and boneless in his hand, the feeling so good it sent him soaring. Breathing in the goddess's natural fragrance, even this fool Lu Fan felt like he was floating into the heavens.
"Ah! Lu Fan, you..."
Liu Mengran blushed as she pushed against him, but how could a delicate woman like her be a match for Lu Fan?
"What is it? Didn't you say you'd be my girlfriend from now on? Come on, let's go get the money!"
Lu Fan's vacant expression once again made Liu Mengran lower her guard. It's just a simple hug. I'll endure it!
And so, a magnitude-twelve earthquake erupted at Long University. The Number One Campus Belle, Liu Mengran, was actually being held in fool Lu Fan's arms. Judging by their intimate posture, they looked no different from a young couple.
This explosive news spread throughout Long University in an instant, and the sound of hearts breaking immediately rang out across the campus.
