This humble monk, Tang Xuanye

Tang Enqi and Liu Bingxin watched from behind, dumbfounded.

They had actually witnessed something like this at university.

Liu Bingxin soon snapped out of it. She looked at Li Haoyang and said coldly, "Haoyang, you've really disappointed me."

Fighting at university could earn him a disciplinary mark, costing him any chance at honors, scholarships, and the like down the line.

If he injured Shuai Kun, he might even end up at the police station.

At the very least, he would definitely lose his position as class representative.

Liu Bingxin had gotten together with him because he was the class representative, and because he was honest and ambitious. He might amount to something in the future.

After all, a university class representative was different from one in middle or high school. At university, it was the position with the closest ties to the faculty advisor.

Being close to the faculty advisor meant he would get first dibs on any good opportunities throughout his four years at university.

But by now, Li Haoyang had gone completely berserk.

Hearing a voice, he turned around, ready to swing his fist.

"Coach, Coach, calm down!"

"Bro, look who it is! Are you going to hit a woman?"

Luo Ye and Wang Dachui grabbed Li Haoyang's arms, one on either side. Even with all their strength, they could barely hold him back.

Li Haoyang finally regained some sense. Although he was a muscle-bound gym buff, this was his first fight.

"Bingxin, I..."

Facing the pretty girl, Li Haoyang lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

"Expulsion!"

Behind them, Shuai Kun lay on the floor, covered in bruises. He pointed at the four of them and raged, "You're all going to be punished! I'm a Student Union officer. I'm telling a teacher right now!"

With that, Shuai Kun got to his feet and ran out of the classroom, sniffling and wiping away tears.

Wang Dachui spat after him and said scornfully, "Damn sissy."

Shen Qiao said calmly, "Coach, we're brothers. We'll take whatever comes together. Don't worry."

"Exactly," Luo Ye added.

With all three of his brothers backing him up, Li Haoyang managed to steady his emotions.

If he faltered now, wouldn't he be letting his brothers down?

At that thought, Li Haoyang took a deep breath and looked at Liu Bingxin with a serious expression.

That look caught Liu Bingxin off guard.

They hadn't known each other long, but she had never seen that expression on Li Haoyang's face before.

"Liu Bingxin, let's break up."

Liu Bingxin looked incredulous.

Taking another look at his serious face, she asked, "You want to break up just because I'm a little close to an upperclassman? Have you lost your mind?"

"I haven't. Let's break up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Haoyang strode out of the classroom without looking back.

Luo Ye, Wang Dachui, and Shen Qiao swaggered after him without so much as glancing at the two girls.

Once they left the teaching building, Li Haoyang asked, "Want to get a drink, brothers?"

"Absolutely. We have to," Luo Ye said, supporting him without a second thought.

"But we've got a class during evening study, don't we?" Li Haoyang began to hesitate.

He was the class representative, after all.

"Your university experience isn't complete until you've skipped a class," Shen Qiao said with a smile.

Those words brought Li Haoyang around. He clapped his hands and agreed, "That's our movie star for you! You've got a point. Let's go. It's just evening study. So what if I lead the way in skipping it as class representative?"

Li Haoyang seemed to have become more outgoing. Once he let loose, his energy went up a whole notch-perhaps a little too much. He was acting like a lunatic, heading in the same direction as Wang Dachui.

Many things could help a young man grow, and love was one of them.

Although Li Haoyang's relationship had lasted less than half a month, it had been his first love.

Meanwhile, Shuai Kun rushed into the school office.

But Su Baizhou was the only person there.

"Where's the teacher?" Shuai Kun asked in confusion.

"The teacher went to eat. Do you need something?"

Su Baizhou was reviewing the Student Union interview list, so she had borrowed the office.

Seeing Shuai Kun's face beaten into a swollen mess, Su Baizhou frowned. "Did someone beat you up?"

Although she didn't like him, she would still take matters involving school discipline seriously.

"Yes, a few freshmen did it. This year's freshmen are completely out of control. They have to be expelled."

At those words, Su Baizhou's expression gradually grew cold.

From what Shuai Kun was saying, not only had freshmen beaten him up, but several of them had been involved.

"Who did it? This is a serious matter. I'll deal with it accordingly," Su Baizhou said.

"Computer science students. One of them is that famous freshman campus heartthrob. His whole dorm beat me up," Shuai Kun said angrily.

A freshman campus heartthrob?

Su Baizhou's expression turned odd.

She vaguely remembered Qin Yuwen showing her photos of the freshman campus heartthrobs, and Luo Ye had appeared in them.

Could Luo Ye have been involved in this too?

Su Baizhou looked back at Shuai Kun and said, "The freshmen have only been here for a little over a month. As an upperclassman and a Student Union officer, you should be more forgiving."

"I think we should let this go."

Shuai Kun's eyes widened in disbelief.

What had he just heard?

The decisive, impartial Student Union president was actually shielding the freshmen?

Who had just said she would take this seriously?

He stepped forward and pointed at the injuries on his face. "Su Baizhou, look at what they did to me!"

Su Baizhou didn't look. Instead, she turned her gaze elsewhere and said indifferently, "You're a guy... These minor injuries shouldn't be much of a problem."

"You're not the one who got beaten up! Easy for you to talk!" Shuai Kun was utterly furious.

Su Baizhou frowned at that. "What did you say?"

Seeing her reaction, Shuai Kun wilted again and said nervously, "N-nothing."

He didn't dare oppose Su Baizhou. She was a renowned talent at Jiangda, as well as the campus beauty. If he angered her, he could forget about getting anywhere at Jiangda.

"Since you've said so, President Su, I'll let it go out of respect for you. But shouldn't they at least get a school-wide notice and a verbal reprimand?"

As soon as he finished, Shuai Kun realized that Su Baizhou had already returned to her seat and resumed her work, as though she hadn't heard his last two remarks.

Shuai Kun gritted his teeth. There was nothing he could do about Su Baizhou, so he could only leave the office helplessly.

Once he was gone, Su Baizhou took out her phone and sent Luo Ye a message.

Su Baizhou: What are you doing?

Luo Ye soon replied.

Luo Ye: This humble monk is Tang Xuanye, journeying from the Great Tang in the east to fetch the scriptures from the Western Paradise.

Luo Ye: Allow me to introduce my second disciple, Bajie.

Reading those messages, Su Baizhou's cool face took on a faintly speechless look.

Why had this junior gone drinking again...?

Still...

He was pretty cute...
