Dai Mubai Crumbled!

Only then did Dai Mubai get a clear look at the person Zhang Tianyu was straddling and beating mercilessly. It was none other than Ma Hongjun!

And at that very moment, Zhang Tianyu was still sitting on top of Ma Hongjun, raining down punches.

Punch after punch, he beat him while cursing:

"That's for not updating! That's for dropping your book! That's for going into the palace! That's for becoming a eunuch! And what the hell was that second book of yours, some stupid wish-fulfillment novel?!"

Everyone: ???

What was he muttering about?

"Tianyu! Hey! Tianyu, stop!"

After freezing for a moment, Dai Mubai quickly came to his senses and rushed over to stop Zhang Tianyu. "Stop! Don't hit him anymore!"

Only after Dai Mubai intervened did Zhang Tianyu finally stop. He got to his feet and asked, "What? I was just getting warmed up!"

"Warmed up for what? He's one of us!" Dai Mubai was drenched in cold sweat. Ma Hongjun was already beaten into a pig's head, and he still wasn't warmed up?

"What do you mean, one of us?" Tang San asked.

Dai Mubai helped Ma Hongjun up and looked him over from head to toe.

Hmm.

He'd already been pretty fat before. Now he was even fatter.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that before you arrived, our academy only had three students? You've already met Oscar and me. This is the third student, Ma Hongjun."

Everyone froze. "Him?"

Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips. "Hey, I just noticed this academy seems to produce hooligans. You're bad enough on your own, but this fatty is even worse than you. He saw Rongrong and me and started making lewd remarks without a second thought. They might as well rename this place Hooligan Academy!"

Dai Mubai broke into a cold sweat again.

If anyone else dared say that, he would have taught them a lesson in no time.

But when Xiao Wu said it, he really had no comeback.

Because Xiao Wu belonged to Zhang Tianyu, and he couldn't beat Zhang Tianyu!

After a moment of awkwardness, Dai Mubai suddenly realized something. "Oh, I get it, Fatty. No wonder you got beaten up. So you were harassing them!"

Ma Hongjun finally realized how serious the situation was. He said miserably, "Hey, you don't know. Cuihua just broke up with me this morning, and I had all this pent-up anger with nowhere to put it. Then I saw those two pretty girls—"

"Hm???" Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong glared at him.

"Ahem." Ma Hongjun quickly glanced at Zhang Tianyu with lingering fear and changed his tune. "I saw that our two junior schoolmates were beautiful, like celestial maidens, and I just couldn't help myself for a moment..."

Dai Mubai shook his head with a laugh. "Honestly, you brought this on yourself. I made it very clear yesterday: among the new students, one of them is incredibly strong. Even when Teacher Zhao personally tested him, he didn't get the better of him. I told you to be careful and not show off too much. Looks like you didn't take a word of it to heart."

Ma Hongjun looked at Zhang Tianyu. "Was he the one who got the better of Teacher Zhao?"

Dai Mubai nodded. "Let me introduce you. This is Ma Hongjun, and these are..."

After the introductions, Ma Hongjun felt like his balls had shattered.

Damn, he'd heard this guy was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong!

And he definitely hadn't expected to run into him so soon—and in a situation like this!

"Since we're classmates, I won't say any more," Zhang Tianyu said, clapping the dust from his hands. "We're all classmates, so at least show each other some respect from now on."

Ma Hongjun muttered, "Respect? You beat me up like this and call that respect?"

"That's because you disrespected us first," Xiao Wu said, raising an eyebrow.

"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and get something to eat," Dai Mubai said, quickly playing peacemaker.

As Zhang Tianyu and the others left, Dai Mubai hurried over to Ma Hongjun and whispered, "Why'd you have to provoke him? I can't even beat him!"

Ma Hongjun let out a long sigh. "Sigh! How was I supposed to know it was him? If I'd known, I wouldn't have dared harass them!"

"I swear, your brain's gone soft!" Dai Mubai scolded him, exasperated. "I made it very clear: only two new male students enrolled. Weren't those two just now the new faces? Do you have a pig's brain? Couldn't you figure it out for yourself?"

"Hey, stop scolding me. I'm going to change and wash my face!"

"Hurry up. Don't hold up dinner!"

When they arrived at the dining hall,

Zhu Zhuqing was already eating.

Seeing everyone come in, she raised her head and glanced at them coldly, then lowered it and continued eating.

Dai Mubai was disappointed. Zhu Zhuqing hadn't even looked him in the eye.

As they ate, Dai Mubai took the opportunity to explain Ma Hongjun's peculiar condition to Zhang Tianyu and the others.

After hearing him out, everyone was stunned.

"There's really such a thing?" Tang San asked in surprise.

"Either way, he's a hooligan who preys on girls!" Xiao Wu cursed.

"No wonder you two share a dorm," Zhang Tianyu said. "Is it so you can trade tips?"

Everyone froze, and Dai Mubai's expression immediately changed.

Tang San asked innocently, "Huh? Trade tips about what?"

Zhang Tianyu answered just as innocently, "Tips on how to prey on girls, of course. You didn't know this before, but Old Dai was hugging a pair of twins..."

Xiao Wu burst out laughing.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!" Dai Mubai shot over to Zhang Tianyu like a bolt of lightning and frantically motioned for him to be quiet. At the same time, he kept glancing behind him toward Zhu Zhuqing.

He looked like he was about to piss himself!

Zhang Tianyu glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, looking a little confused. Then he suddenly understood and put on an apologetic expression. "Ahem, that fatty was hugging a pair of twins..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Wu cut in. "Huh? When did that fatty hug a pair of twins? Wasn't it Dai Mubai? He even tried to steal that hotel room from us, and he'd had it booked for ages. Tsk, who knows how many girls he—"

"Shh! Shh! Shh!!!" Dai Mubai was practically in tears. He rushed over to Xiao Wu and pleaded in a low voice, "Xiao Wu! My dear aunt! Please, stop! I'm begging you! I'll get down on my knees!"

Seeing him like this, Xiao Wu coughed and stopped talking.

Dai Mubai wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back at Zhu Zhuqing. She had kept eating with a cold expression the whole time. He couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.

Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu really were the bane of my existence!

The atmosphere was awkward, as if frozen solid.

Just then, Ma Hongjun came in wearing a fresh set of clothes and broke the silence. "Boss Dai, why are you standing there instead of eating?"

"Ahem, we were talking about you—about your Evil Fire," Dai Mubai hurriedly said.

At the mention of Evil Fire, Ma Hongjun immediately got riled up again. He said irritably,

"Damn, I don't even have to guess. You definitely weren't saying anything nice. If I had a pretty-boy face like you and Xiao Ao, I could date multiple girls at the same time. Then I wouldn't be in this mess!"

"You!!" Dai Mubai exploded on the spot!

He'd finally managed to steady the situation and get them to shut up, and now this bastard was digging up his past again?!

He glared at Ma Hongjun through gritted teeth. "Fatty, don't talk nonsense! When have I ever dated multiple girls at once?! I'm warning you! Eat whatever you want, but watch what you say!"

Ma Hongjun snickered. "Aren't you always proud of it instead of ashamed? What's wrong with you today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
