When he checked his phone, he found several messages expressing concern for him.
Especially from Top Campus Belle Liu Mengran—she had sent several messages in a row checking on him. In Lu Fan's memory, this was the first time someone other than family had shown concern for him.
Liu Ruyan had also sent a message, asking worriedly whether he was all right.
"Looks like my charm isn't too shabby. Two top campus belles are keeping an eye on me all the time!"
Lu Fan muttered narcissistically.
Just as he was about to head to the cafeteria for something to eat, his aunt Lu Fanghua called.
"Aunt!"
"Xiao Fan, tomorrow is your grandfather's birthday celebration. Get ready by noon tomorrow, and I'll take you back to wish him a happy birthday."
"The old man's having a birthday celebration?"
Lu Fan frowned deeply. The grandfather in his memories was practically a stranger, but he remembered his grandmother very clearly.
Of course, not in a good way. She was his step-grandmother, the woman his grandfather had found after his real grandmother passed away.
His grandfather had so many descendants, and Lu Fan had been a fool. It was easy to imagine what kind of treatment he had received.
Although he did not want to see that old man, it would not be bad to visit those relatives who had swindled away his family's assets.
With that in mind, Lu Fan readily agreed to his aunt. His plans for tomorrow were settled.
The moment Lu Fan reached the entrance to the apartment building, a car screeched to a stop right in front of him. It was less than half a meter away; if it had gone any farther, it would have hit him.
Lu Fan was furious and about to blow up when a tall, burly man rushed out of the driver's seat.
The man completely ignored Lu Fan, sprinted around to the passenger side, and pulled open the door. A young woman dressed sweetly and innocently stepped out, curiously examining the apartment building before her.
"Guang, is this your teachers' dormitory? It's pretty luxurious."
"Of course. Our university is one of the country's most renowned key universities. As a PE teacher here, I was assigned my own apartment."
"This is the capital. Being able to live in a free apartment is the dream of who knows how many people."
Guang smugly showed off to the woman, and the two of them completely ignored the furious Lu Fan beside them.
That scene instantly ignited Lu Fan's rage. You nearly ran me over and didn't even apologize, and now you're treating me like air.
I hadn't even gone out all day, and the second I did, you had to shove your lovey-dovey nonsense in my face.
As he watched Guang take the woman's hand and head toward the apartment building, Lu Fan's eyes shifted, and a wicked idea sprang to mind.
"Zhou Bagua, stop right there!"
The tall man who had been about to leave shuddered, then turned around and glared at Lu Fan furiously.
What he hated most in his life was people calling him by his full name. As for why, figure it out yourself.
"What department are you from? If you don't know how to address a teacher when you see one, then keep your mouth shut. Watch out, or I'll deduct your credits!"
Lu Fan could not care less. No one in this school who could deduct his credits had even been born yet. Besides, what use were credits to him?
Lu Fan trotted up to them with a broad smile and extended his hand to the woman.
"Hello, beautiful. I'm a student at this university. May I ask what your relationship is with this Zhou Bagua?"
"Uh, we're on a blind date... Classmate, is something wrong?"
The woman blankly held out her hand and shook his. Mainly because the male student before her was tall, handsome, sunny, and possessed an exceptionally attractive presence.
Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
A blind date? Then I'm definitely ruining this for you today.
And judging by the way this guy was taking his blind date into his apartment, any man knew what came next. Young Master Lu was quite familiar with that sort of thing.
"So you're on a blind date. Miss, you probably haven't known Zhou Bagua for long, right? As a student here, I feel it is absolutely necessary for me to give you a grand introduction to our Teacher Zhou."
"Oh? Could Guang be one of your university's outstanding teachers?"
The woman was clearly interested. She had only known Zhou Bagua for three days.
But this man who had asked her to call him Guang was tall and handsome, and he was also a PE teacher at Dragon University. To be honest, she had been quite satisfied with him.
Zhou Bagua beside her, however, frowned as a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"Miss, you got that exactly right. Teacher Zhou is truly the model of an outstanding teacher at Dragon University."
Lu Fan fiercely pinched his thigh, doing his best not to laugh, then began a speech that made Zhou Bagua's eyes blaze with fury.
"Miss, as you can see, Teacher Zhou is tall and imposing, but... his personality is greedy, lecherous, and unbelievably petty."
"Teacher Zhou's favorite pastime is using his status as a teacher to squeeze students into buying him cigarettes and alcohol. Especially female students—who knows how many girls he has taken advantage of, yet they could only endure the humiliation in tears because of his status as a teacher."
"You haven't seen his phone, have you? He has over twenty gigabytes of Sakura Country adult videos saved on it, all the hottest films from Tokyo."
"Bastard, don't you dare slander me!"
Zhou Bagua's face instantly darkened. The woman before him had a capital city household registration, and he had been just about to win her over. Yet at this critical moment, some Cheng Yaojin had suddenly appeared out of nowhere to ruin his reputation. How could he possibly tolerate that?
"Teacher Zhou, being right isn't about shouting louder. Your reputation is known throughout the entire university. I wasn't lying about those twenty-plus gigabytes of videos, was I?"
"Th-that was all in the past... Why the hell are you bringing that up, you bastard?!"
Zhou Bagua guiltily glanced at the woman beside him and reached out to grab her, but she warily stepped back and avoided his large hand.
"Classmate, keep talking!"
"Sure thing, miss. I wasn't making up that story about Teacher Zhou's twenty-plus gigabytes of videos."
"During PE classes, Teacher Zhou would make the girls line up to do gymnastics while he hid beneath a shady tree, watching videos and admiring their youthful, delicate bodies."
"Later, when one girl fell, he went over to take advantage of her—no, I mean, to help her up—and that was when he put his phone on the ground."
"Then a male student saw the exciting footage playing on his phone, and that was how the matter of Teacher Zhou having over twenty gigabytes of adult videos got out."
"Miss, do you know where the name Zhou Bagua came from?"
"Uh! Isn't bagua the number eight?"
The woman looked utterly confused.
"Wrong. It's the ba from stripping clothes, because Teacher Zhou likes making girls train in the scorching heat so he can feast his eyes on them when they take off their clothes."
The woman moved another two steps away, and when she looked at Zhou Bagua now, there was a hint of disgust in her expression.
"Miss, Teacher Zhou does have his good points too. He is especially devoted to comforting the lonely, empty hearts of women whose husbands are away, and he has put in no small amount of hard work and sweat for that cause."
"There is a dorm manager auntie in the women's dormitory who lives apart from her husband because of work."
"Teacher Zhou sympathized with her loneliness and invited her to his apartment to comfort the auntie's wounded heart."
"Oh, and that dorm manager auntie is over fifty this year, and she is rather seriously overweight."
"What? He... he could even bring himself to do that?"
The woman's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Zhou Bagua in disbelief. Zhou Bagua's face turned black as the bottom of a pot, and he pointed at Lu Fan, too furious to say a word.
