Perhaps the beautiful boss was too exhausted, for she slept very soundly. In the end, Su Ke had no choice but to leave Fangfei Yiren, though before departing, he coquettishly begged Lin Xiaobai to put in a good word for him. He wondered if this was what they called a "honey trap."

As a student, his daily work was naturally to study, repeating the same lessons over and over. However, Su Ke had now shored up his two weakest subjects, mathematics and the comprehensive science curriculum, and his grades had improved significantly without him even realizing it.

The final bell rang, sounding as sweet as music. The students were like wild horses breaking free from their reins, cheering and scrambling to leave. Su Ke was no exception; he packed his bag and headed for the door. Since he hadn't gotten a result at noon, he felt it was necessary to go back once more.

"Su Ke!"

Just as he reached the doorway, he heard someone call his name from inside the classroom. Su Ke was a bit surprised, and when he turned his head, he saw it was Wei Lan. The young girl was looking up while tidying her textbooks.

"Su Ke, wait for me! Let's go home together!" After saying this, Wei Lan felt her face burning; a faint, rosy blush appeared on her rounded cheeks, and two dimples bloomed along with her shy smile.

"Oh!" Su Ke responded instinctively and stepped back into the classroom. Only then did he remember he still had to go to Fangfei Yiren for his interview, but since he had already agreed, he figured he could just head back there after going home first.

Girls were always meticulous when packing their things. By the time Wei Lan had put her textbooks and pencil case into her bag, less than a third of the students remained in the classroom.

"Heh heh, Su Ke, you're a legend!" Wang Xiaogang slung his bag over his shoulder and, as he passed by Su Ke, gave him a thumbs-up. He glanced back at the approaching Wei Lan, leaned in close to Su Ke's ear, and let out a laugh that sounded strangely lewd.

Because of Wang Xiaogang's confession that morning, their relationship seemed to have progressed a step further. Su Ke didn't blush at Wang Xiaogang's laughter; instead, he feigned a kick, scaring Wang Xiaogang into jumping away.

"You two go home together then, I'm leaving on my own!" Wang Xiaogang shouted at the top of his lungs, but when he saw Su Ke's expression tighten, he immediately fled in a panic.

Wei Lan and Su Ke were both suddenly mortified, their faces turning bright red. In a place where puppy love was more common than breakfast, how could the two of them not understand the implication of Wang Xiaogang's words?

Although Wei Lan kept her head down, she still snuck a glance at Su Ke's expression, seemingly very concerned about his reaction. Just as the two of them stepped out of the classroom door, they heard someone walking quickly toward them while calling out, "Wei Lan!"

Su Ke and Wei Lan turned to look at the same time. The man was wearing a Nike tracksuit, had a neat buzz cut, and stood about 1.8 meters tall. What was most eye-catching was the bouquet of flowers he held in his hands.

"Wei Lan, this is for you!" Su Ke had seen this boy before; he was a sports student from Class 2 of the senior year. Because he exercised frequently, he had a very sturdy build with well-defined arm muscles, though his skin was a bit dark.

If Su Ke stood next to him, he would look like a weak, pampered boy by comparison. Although he felt annoyed by the man's actions, the guy was giving flowers to Wei Lan, and Su Ke had no right to stop him.

Hmph, he's darker and more ostentatious than Judge Bao! Su Ke muttered to himself. He didn't know why, but seeing this man filled him with such irritation that he wanted to kick him away.

"Liu Chao, please stop pestering me. I'm going home now!" Wei Lan frowned. It was clear that this wasn't the first time Liu Chao had launched such an offensive.

"Wei Lan, I don't mean anything else by it. I just want to give you these flowers. If you take them, I'll leave immediately!" Liu Chao's expression flickered for a moment, but he quickly recovered, flashing a charming smile.

Su Ke leaned against the corridor wall, keeping his eyes on Liu Chao. He had clearly seen the flash of resentment in the guy's eyes when he was rebuffed, but the fact that he had reverted to a polite demeanor the very next second made Su Ke dislike him even more.

"I don't want them!" Wei Lan turned to leave, but suddenly, Liu Chao grabbed her arm. Wei Lan, who was just over 1.6 meters tall, was clearly unable to break free from the 1.8-meter-tall Liu Chao.

"Let go!" Wei Lan shook her arm vigorously, but she couldn't break his grip. Her voice had shifted from cold indifference to uncontrollable anger.

"Wei Lan, I really like you. My love for you is real!" Liu Chao's voice was soft and full of affection. If Su Ke hadn't already sensed the man's malicious nature, he might have been fooled by him.

"Let go!" Su Ke took a deep breath. He was becoming increasingly accustomed to this action; as long as he took a deep breath, it made him feel like Clark Kent transforming into Superman, filling him with confidence.

Perhaps Su Ke had a talent for being treated like air, as Liu Chao didn't seem to notice him at all, continuing to hold Wei Lan's arm with a gaze full of feigned passion.

Su Ke's temper flared. He stepped forward, reached out from behind Wei Lan, grabbed Liu Chao's wrist with his right hand, and said in a low voice, "I said, take your claws off her!"

Having his carefully orchestrated romantic moment interrupted, Liu Chao finally spared a glance at Su Ke. In the eyes of this sports student, Su Ke was undoubtedly a weak, pampered boy; he could take on a dozen such pretty boys without breaking a sweat.

"Get lost!" Liu Chao's gaze was full of contempt, and his tone was dripping with mockery. If he hadn't been trying to maintain his image in front of Wei Lan, he would have been spewing profanities by now.

Su Ke tilted his head slightly, a faint, enigmatic smile on his face. He didn't speak, but his right hand, which was gripping Liu Chao's wrist, began to exert pressure. Ever since he had received the reward of "Military Boxing Mastery," his strength had increased, and the muscles in his arm began to tense, with veins bulging clearly.

As Su Ke continued to apply force, Liu Chao felt as if his wrist were being crushed by iron pliers and was about to snap. After holding on for two minutes, he could no longer bear it. The piercing, bone-deep pain forced him to let go of Wei Lan's arm, and he used the opportunity to break free from Su Ke's grip.

He glared at Su Ke with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire. The pain in his wrist hadn't faded, and Liu Chao, gritting his teeth, stared at Su Ke and spat out, "Do you know who I am?"

Su Ke still wore that calm, indifferent smile. He looked him up and down, from head to toe, and replied leisurely, "Are you Andy Lau?"

Pfft! Wei Lan, hiding behind Su Ke, couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. Hearing that laugh, which sounded incredibly grating to his ears, Liu Chao gasped for air and shouted, "I am Liu Chao!"

"Never heard of you!" Su Ke replied even more bluntly.

"I'll make sure you know who I am this time!" With that, Liu Chao threw a right hook directly at Su Ke's eye. This punch was fueled by hatred; if it had actually connected, it certainly wouldn't have just left Su Ke dizzy.

"Bang!"

Su Ke didn't budge. Liu Chao's punch had come with great momentum, but before he could even fully extend his arm, his body suddenly lurched backward, curling up as his stomach churned violently.

Su Ke had landed a kick directly into Liu Chao's gut. The 1.8-meter-tall man was sent flying back more than two meters, clutching his stomach and gasping for air.

"You can't win an argument against me, and now you can't even win a fight? How pathetic!" Su Ke ignored Liu Chao's resentful glare, turned to Wei Lan, and said, "Let's go!"
