Chapter 2: The Lion Steals the Peach

  Zhang Peng glanced over and saw a boy squeeze out of the crowd of new students from the Electrical Engineering Department, pointing at himself with an angry face. Zhang Peng had always looked down on those who tried to take advantage of heroic opportunities to flirt with girls, but he only took one look and felt that this boy, wearing a white Lee t-shirt and deep blue jeans, looked a bit like Rukawa Kaede and had great potential as a pretty boy.

  What's more, Zhang Peng had always been a good student, but he was never a goody-goody, so he smiled and said to the boy who had squeezed over, "How is she your wife?"

  The air was suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder, and everyone could hear the provocative meaning in Zhang Peng's words and eyes. The boy's face turned white instantly. Many people looked on with hope, but more people felt that someone like him who looked a bit like a pretty boy would only say one sentence when encountering someone as despicable and shameless as Zhang Peng: "Classmate, you can't be shameless to this extent." Then he would turn around and leave with dignity.

  But the boy didn't say a word, and just as a hint of panic appeared on Zhou Xiaoyu's face, he swung his fist forcefully at Zhang Peng.

  "Dig, such quick movements, is it Hei Hu's Heart-Excavating Technique?"

  "It's better for the lion to pick the peaches."

  "Wow, how did the lion pick the peach?"

  In the midst of a group of newborns' cries, Zhang Peng had already gotten into a scuffle with this freshly hatched new student from the Department of Electrical Engineering.

  Zhang Peng's hands and feet were quick, and he quickly twisted his opponent's hand, while the other desperately used his elbow to strike Zhang Peng.

  "Don't fight anymore." The pretty girl was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes. "This is really intense!" At this time, Yang Zhen shook his head and stepped forward a few steps, grabbing the collars of the two men separately.

  "What the hell are you pulling?!" At this time, the new student from the School of Electrical Engineering was already fighting fiercely. Zhang Peng's movements were faster than he had imagined, and he swung several times but didn't hit Zhang Peng. After being pulled by Yang Zhan, he missed again. So his arm immediately went back like Yang Zhan had poked it, "What are you pulling for?!"

  "Enough cruelty!" Yang Zhan smiled slightly. A group of freshmen directly saw the realm of winning without a move, and Yang Zhan didn't block his elbow, seemingly just pulling his collar, and the 1.75-meter-tall body of the School of Electrical Engineering freshman completely lost its balance and fell to the ground.

  "What's going on? What's going on?" Just then, the head of the school security team, Sun Wei, rushed over with a few members of the team.

  "It's nothing, young man, just a bit of a temper." Yang Zhan tossed a cigarette to Sun Hui, then lit one himself and started smoking, as if the previous incident had nothing to do with him.

  Zhang Peng and the freshman from the School of Electrical Engineering were immediately seized by several campus security guards.

  "Murong." At this time, Zhang Peng heard Zhou Xiaoyu shouting the name of the newborn in the Electrical Engineering Department with a crying tone. "Geez, is she really his wife?" Zhang Peng was stunned.

  "What are you doing?!"

  "This is an illegal detention, I can sue you for this."

  "Let go! Let go!"

  "Damn it! Just now when we were fighting, there was also that bald guy. Why didn't you bring him over too!"

  “…。”

  "We actually didn't do anything, just messing around."

  "We're all good buddies."

  “…。”

  "Spare us, hero."

  At first, Zhang Peng was still very arrogant, but Sun Hui from the school security team had already seen big winds and waves, no matter what Zhang Peng said, he just wouldn't budge. "Fighting on the first day of school, in front of so many people, you've lost face for Zhongda University. You two should reflect on your actions together, wait for your department's counselor to come and take you away."

  After scolding two people for a while, the two were locked in a small black room.

  During this time, Zhang Peng found that the one called Murong by Zhou Xiaoyu, who looked a bit like Liuxiang Feng's little white face, had hardly said a word. But as soon as he thought of how Zhou Xiaoyu had called him, Zhang Peng felt that he might have misunderstood this guy, so after holding back for a while, he couldn't help but ask Murong, "Do you know the girl from just now?"

  "En." Murong took a glance at Zhang Peng and sat down against the wall. "She's my high school classmate."

  Zhang Peng wiped his sweat and said, "Sorry about that, I thought you were a pretty boy trying to take advantage of the situation to flirt with girls."

  "If you're really sorry, then take off your clothes."

  "No way," Zhang Peng said, "Please, I'm not good at this."

  Murong's gaze darted back and forth on the small window, "In theory, a towel can strangle these steel bars."

  "You've watched too much Prison Break." Seeing the thumb-thick steel bars on the small window, Zhang Peng couldn't help but laugh when Mu Rong said this. It's said that after two people have been together for a long time, they'll start to look more pleasing to each other. But judging from their fight just now and their behavior at the police station, Mu Rong didn't seem like some idle rich playboy.

  "This guy doesn't seem too bad." Zhang Peng looked at Murong Yu with increasing favor, and while doing so, he took out a key from his pocket and scratched "Zhang Peng was here" on the wall of the house.

  Murong didn't say a word either, and like Zhang Peng, he took out his key and scratched on the wall, "Murong was here."

  "Geez, I'm starving." Zhang Peng looked at the characters written by Murong Hua, "Your surname is Murong? What's your name? It can't be Murong Fu, right?"

  "My surname is Mu, and my name is Rong. I'm not a compound surname of Murong." Murong glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, "At least we'll have to spend the night here."

  "It's just a big fuss over nothing." Zhang Peng said nonchalantly.

  "You know what." Murong raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything more to Zhang Peng.

  Zhang Peng thought that Murong was a bit arrogant, but Zhang Peng didn't dislike people with arrogance. He chuckled and sat down beside Murong, "Then why are you still so fiery? To be honest, do you have a crush on that mm?"

  "No."

  "It's not like that, why are you so tense? Honestly, I didn't mean to," Zhang Peng said. "Besides, I just pushed her hand."

  "Never mind about that." Murong waved his hand somewhat annoyed, stood up and walked to the window.

  Murong didn't want to see if he could break the iron bars and escape successfully. Compared to this aimless waiting, Murong would rather have a counselor come and give himself a punishment, then take himself away.

  However, through the window, he saw Zhou Xiaoyu standing outside the police station. She seemed to always be calm and quiet, often at a loss for what to do, just like now.

  Murong suddenly felt a bit annoyed, and at this moment, the iron door of the small black room creaked open.

  The head of the school security team, Sun Wei, and a shiny bald head appeared in front of the two people. This bald head was recognized by both of them, it was Yang Zhan, who had knocked Mu Rong to the ground with one move.

  "Alright, let's go." Sun Hui waved his hand, "Don't cause any trouble outside, okay?"

  So this is what it's like to come out of that little black room? Freedom? This doesn't seem quite like the outcome Zhang Peng had imagined for his inquiry.

  "Come on." Seeing two people standing still, Yang Zhan patted the shoulders of the two people and said, "Fighting is not a big deal."

  "Isn't it for the counselor to lead?"

  "It's no big deal." Yang Zhen waved his hand impatiently, "I've already made arrangements, it's fine, they're all small matters, just don't be so aggressive in the future."

  "Nothing's wrong, I'll leave first then." Murong nodded and left without looking back.

  Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment, and Yang Zhen also smiled, "This new student from the School of Electrical Engineering is quite arrogant." Zhang Peng watched as Murong quietly walked past Zhou Xiaoyu's face, with Zhou Xiaoyu quickly following behind. By that time, Yang Zhen had already flicked away the cigarette butt in his hand, patted Zhang Peng on the back and said, "Don't look anymore, if you have what it takes, find one yourself. Come with me."
