In the morning, Liu Mengran walked out of Lu Fan's apartment looking exhausted. Before leaving, she shot his apartment a vicious glare.
After finally making it back to the dorm, she pushed open the door and was immediately surrounded by her three strange-looking best friends and roommates.
"Our great hero is back! Mengran, you worked so hard last night. Let me massage your legs!"
Mao Lili pulled Liu Mengran into a chair, crouched down, and eagerly began flattering her. Last night, each of the three had received a Fruit Sixteen phone and enjoyed a lavish seafood barbecue feast.
The three of them had patted their butts and left, leaving the Top Campus Belle Liu behind. They could guess what would happen next with their toenails.
The Top Campus Belle Liu had suffered in their place. How could the three of them not be grateful? That was why they were now fawning all over her.
Li Qian stood behind Liu Mengran and kneaded her shoulders. Seeing that people were already standing both in front of and behind her, He Lu's eyes spun as she poured her a cup of brown sugar water.
"Mengran, you worked hard. Drink some brown sugar water to get your blood flowing."
Only then did Liu Mengran realize what was happening. Her face flushed red as she tried to stand, only for Li Qian to press her back down again.
"You guys... what are you doing?"
"Tsk, tsk. Mengran, things got pretty intense for you, huh? Look at those hickeys..."
Li Qian pointed at the hickey on Liu Mengran's neck. Mao Lili and He Lu quickly leaned over to look, but it was already too late for Liu Mengran to cover it with her hand.
"You three are awful!"
Unable to withstand her three roommates' assault, Liu Mengran struggled to her feet and climbed onto her bed.
That idiot Lu Fan slept until nearly noon before finally getting up with a satisfied expression.
Naturally, he knew Liu Mengran had slipped away quietly. He had just been sleeping soundly at the time, and since he really had put the Top Campus Belle Liu through too much the night before, he turned a blind eye and let her leave.
"Looks like my brain might have been messed up before, but this body sure isn't lacking."
"But I can't keep tormenting the Top Campus Belle Liu nonstop. I'll ask the Second Campus Belle Liu over tonight instead!"
After washing up, Lu Fan took out his phone and video-called Liu Ruyan. Her stunning face appeared on the screen, but she was clearly a little nervous when facing him.
The sight made Lu Fan narrow his eyes, his expression freezing.
"Lu... Lu Fan!"
"Hehe... where is Big Bun Liu right now?"
"I'm... I'm out having a meal with friends!"
"Guys?"
Lu Fan frowned, ready to get angry, but Liu Ruyan hurriedly turned the phone toward the two girls sitting opposite her. Only then did his expression ease.
He was quite familiar with those two girls. Both had borrowed money from him before, and apparently, not small amounts either.
The two had a good relationship with Liu Ruyan. Seeing that she had gotten luxury cars and large amounts of cash from Lu Fan, they had also joined her in swindling quite a bit of money from him.
But for Liu Ruyan's sake, Lu Fan was not settling scores with them for now.
When the time came to settle everything, not one person who owed him money would get away. He would collect every debt.
"Big Bun Liu, come to my apartment tonight. I let you rest for a few days. Your body should be recovered by now, right?"
"Ah! Lu Fan, I..."
Liu Ruyan's delicate body jolted violently. Lu Fan had already left a shadow in her heart last time. Now that she heard him asking her to come over again, fear immediately rose within her.
"What do you mean, 'I'? Liu Ruyan, do you have the right to refuse me?"
Lu Fan's words instantly deflated the proud Liu Ruyan. She forced an ugly smile onto her face.
"Okay. I'll come over tonight after dinner."
Only then did Lu Fan hang up in satisfaction. His stomach grumbled in protest, and he glanced at the time. It was already mealtime.
He picked up his phone and ordered a pile of takeout, then called Liu Mengran and told her not to go to the cafeteria and to wait for him to bring food over.
Liu Mengran was clearly catching up on sleep. Her voice was weak and soft, making her sound exceptionally delicate.
"Baby, you worked hard last night. I ordered takeout for you, so you and your other three roommates don't need to go to the cafeteria. We'll eat in your dorm later."
Lu Fan dropped those words and hung up directly, not giving Liu Mengran any chance to refuse.
Just as he picked up the takeout at the school gate, his phone rang. When he looked at the caller ID, he saw that it was Aunt. A smile immediately appeared on his face. Aunt was the person closest to him in this world.
"Aunt!"
"Xiao Fan, come to my house for dinner tonight. Niannian will be coming too!"
"Okay, Aunt!"
After hanging up, Lu Fan could not help frowning. He did not mind eating at Aunt's house, but Aunt's daughter, Ding Niannian, absolutely despised him. If they ate together that evening, he would definitely have to endure plenty of her eye-rolls.
Like Lu Fan, Ding Niannian had grown up with a golden spoon in her mouth. Even in Beijing, a city as deep as the sea, she was considered somebody.
As a wealthy young lady, she naturally found a fool of a cousin like Lu Fan deeply objectionable. His existence had also caused her no small amount of embarrassment outside.
Carrying a heap of delicious food, Lu Fan arrived at the female dormitory building. The dorm manager took one look at him, lowered her head, and pretended not to see him. She could not afford to offend him.
Just yesterday, she had been warned by a relative of the Director of Studies that from now on, she was to turn a blind eye whenever she encountered Lu Fan. No... she was supposed to shut both eyes and act completely blind.
If she truly offended Lu Fan, even her relative who was the Director of Studies would not be able to save her.
She was quite satisfied with this dorm manager job. Not only was the work easy, but she also frequently received little bribes from the girls when she had nothing else to do.
It was mealtime, so plenty of girls were going up and down the stairs.
Seeing a boy like Lu Fan swagger into the female dormitory, quite a few girls clearly looked displeased.
Why was their boyfriend not allowed in, while this boy could enter and leave the female dormitory as he pleased?
One girl angrily went to complain to the dorm manager, but the dorm manager shut her down with a single sentence.
"His Aunt is the principal. If you've got the ability, go find yourself an Aunt who's a principal too. From then on, whenever I see you, I'll act like your grandson."
"Uh..."
The girl was left speechless. Being reborn was a technical skill. Who told that fool to be born into such a good family this time?
Lu Fan expertly made his way to Liu Mengran's dormitory. To his surprise, a tall girl was leading three other girls in an argument with Liu Mengran and the others.
"What happened?"
Lu Fan entered the dorm with a baffled expression. Liu Mengran and the others had clearly already prepared everything: the small table and stools had been set out. But what was going on with these four girls?
"Hmph, so that's why you four dared to stand up to me this time. You found a guy to back you up. But aren't you embarrassed to find a fool?"
The tall girl looked at Lu Fan with disdain. She clearly recognized him.
