Chapter 29: The Maiden's Spring Awakening!

  Stable ranking, thank you for collecting red tickets! Buddhist disciples bow in gratitude!

  Fu Hong was like an angel transformed into a devil, laughing with a flourish, glancing at Du Haisheng and saying with hatred: "Hmph, it's really you."

  "Anyway, I have something else to attend to, let's catch up another time."

  Du Haisheng knew that things had been exposed and wanted to laugh it off again, but it was hard!

  He had thought that this little girl would eventually know that the slap was bestowed by him, but he didn't expect his fierce image to have already taken root in her heart. When they met for the first time at Zhao's apartment, she had determined through his eyes that the guy in front of her was the one who was prone to sudden mood swings. Even if he hadn't sneaked into Zhao Wei'er's room today and seen something he shouldn't have, Pei Hong would still find out about it through other channels.

  Du Haisheng only thought of the result, but didn't guess the process, and it was too fast. It's really a case of "what goes around comes around".

  "Hum, hit someone and then pretend nothing happened, no sense of being a man at all, pervert! Coward. Get out!"

  She is the only daughter of the Fu family, and like Zhao Wei, she is a thousand gold princess. In daily life, Mr. and Mrs. Fu spoil her and dote on her, not to mention hitting her, they are even afraid to speak loudly for fear of scaring their daughter. Since she was old enough to understand things, this is the first time she has been hit by someone, let alone a stranger she had never met before.

  A slap in the face was enough to make her unforgettable, and the development of things can be said to be a reversal. The guy who was grateful and resentful in his heart turned out to be like an ancient foodie staying at a friend's house. Now he is standing in front of him with a rogue look, and even just now, he actually used his eyes to insult her body.

  The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. With a wronged expression, Pei Hongbai shot Du Haisheng a glance and, getting increasingly agitated, gritted her teeth and icily squeezed out a "get out".

  "I told you that slap was meant to thoroughly wake you up. Now, looking at your attitude, not a hint of gratitude is seen. You should know the ending will be the same in the future, why would I bother saving you?"

  Du Haisheng's expression suddenly turned serious and solemn, his words laced with a hint of coldness, in the eyes of Fu Hongyan, he looked somewhat sinister at this moment, like a heroic yet evil Jianghu knight.

  "The heart of patriotism, the children of China, can all be cultivated, how can it change? What significance is there for you and me to survive in this world if our country is destroyed and our family is ruined? I will not change my stance."

  After a pause, Fu Hong smiled calmly and said: "But I can change my approach to doing things. As you said, I can make contributions to the country through diligent study. I've come to realize that revolution isn't just about shouting slogans; in the end, it's university students who suffer the most, unarmed and slaughtered at will by the enemy. They say that dying for a cause is glorious, but what value is there in such a death? In this chaotic world, how many people care about the lives or deaths of a few dozen university students? So, I've made up my mind: from now on, I'll continue to study hard and use knowledge to change the fate of our motherland."

  "If it's like that, even if I save you and die, I'll be satisfied."

  Du Haisheng's mouth corners rose, revealing a relieved smile. It's not that he was afraid of doing wrong things, but rather that he didn't understand how to return from the path he had strayed onto.

  When she heard this, a hint of emotion flashed across Fu Hong's face, and her heart felt a warmth that was almost like the confession of love from a man to his wife. For a moment, it made her feel a little honored and surprised. Her two delicate white hands were clasped together, changing positions back and forth, trying hard to distract herself from the inexplicable palpitations in her heart.

  At this moment, Fu Hong is like a young girl who has fallen in love...

  She was born a beauty, and after entering high school, the number of boys chasing her was not small. Especially after entering university, she was known as the "campus flower" of Shanghai University, with countless admirers vying for her attention, including young masters, princes, and nobles who put aside their noble identities to seek her out, but were all rejected by her one by one.

  She thought herself a proud person, she had very few friends in school, Zhao Wei was an exception, those boys were not even worthy of her attention.

  The boys thought that such a woman was like a delicate rose, although beautiful, but full of thorns all over her body. If you're not careful, your hand will be pierced. The cold and elegant temperament is not something everyone has. This was also the first time Du Haisheng saw her, he had a feeling as if they had met before, wanting to get close to her. Pride - it's the exclusive right of such a woman.

  How many sweet words she had heard, but today facing a man who was somewhat simple and unadorned in his indirect confession, she still felt her heart fluttering with springtime feelings. Although it was only hypothetical, she still believed that if such a thing were to really happen, the man standing before her, with his ordinary looks and slightly thin build, would definitely do as he said, and she deeply trusted him.

  "Do I really like this man in front of me?"

  In the end, Fu Hong's slightly haggard heart deep down felt a confusion about men and love for the first time in her life.

  "Hmph, there won't be such a day, if you die for me, wouldn't I owe you a lifetime of gratitude that can never be repaid? Living a life filled with guilt and pain, no way, I'd rather not."

  "Suit yourself, anyway I've already said it, I'm just a pervert and a rascal. Once I set my sights on you, you'll never be able to escape for the rest of your life."

  Du Haisheng smiled slyly and warned with a hint of ridicule, "If the man in front of this woman is still unmoved, he's either a eunuch or has some kind of disability, at least that's what he thinks."

  "Go die..."

  Feng Hong saw that this guy was not serious at all, and with a swift motion, he grabbed the pillow next to him and threw it out with great force. Du Haisheng didn't even bother to catch it, and instead covered his head and ran out.

  "No matter what, I want to thank you, for saving not only my life but also those of my classmates."

  "If she thanked me, then the beauty would be mine."

  Du Haisheng, standing at the door, smiled and replied.

  "You..."

  Hong Yu was annoyed, this guy looked so elegant, but when he spoke, he didn't have a bit of seriousness, and couldn't help but remind her of an idiom - Elegant Rascal!

  "This lady's eyes are very discerning, if you want me to spend a lifetime with you, first show some real skills, like now you're not even making ends meet, poor as can be, wanting me to spend a lifetime with you? Ha ha, don't dream about it here, maybe when you become the big shot of Shanghai then we'll talk."

  Wow, this chick can really talk, becoming the big boss of Shanghai, that's not something that can be achieved with just one sentence, it's simply arrogant. But after her rebirth, she indeed has such a goal, so let everyone wait and see. If she succeeds, heh heh, I'll even get to pick up a beautiful woman who is naturally stunning, what a huge bargain!

  Thinking of this, Du Haisheng said with a serious face: "Good, let's do it your way. Once I become the big boss of Shanghai, you'll marry me, okay?"

  "Cut it out, who's afraid of you? As long as you can make it to that position, just get married."

  Feng Hong didn't back down, raising her head high with a "who's afraid of who" attitude. She also knew that this Shanghai big shot wasn't just playing house, saying whoever would be the one to take charge. In her heart, she thought this was just a joke.

  She didn't know that this man took the sentence as true, so much so that the bloody storm in Shanghai later was also triggered by this sentence.

  "Hey, you little stinker, what are you sneaking around at the door for?"

  Two people were arguing, but they forgot that this was Zhao's apartment. Zhao Wei just went downstairs and didn't disappear from the world. Now it's good, she was caught red-handed by Zhao Wei who came up the stairs.

  Seeing Du Haisheng holding the door handle with a lewd smile looking into the room, Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned gloomy and she questioned him at the door.

  "It's all over, it's all over. Who would have thought that I'd be caught by this little girl? What's the point of being romantic or charming now? This time, even if I had a mouth, I wouldn't be able to explain myself."

  Hearing the extremely piercing voice coming from behind, Du Haisheng's heart suddenly cooled down by half, and his mind kept complaining, why did this girl have to appear at this time, it was really ruining the atmosphere.

  Before he could explain, Zhao Wei'er approached him with a strange smile and teased: "Oh......, so you've taken a liking to our Fu Hong, haven't you? Did you have some ulterior motive while I was away? Honestly, did you think our Fu Hong is pretty and got some bad ideas, perverted thoughts? As soon as I left, you snuck over here to take advantage of her?"

  Du Haisheng looked at the simple and a bit silly girl in front of him, he was so angry that he wanted to bang his head against the wall until he died.

  My god, am I that kind of person? I'm at least a high school graduate who has received modern higher education. Although my studies were poor, my character hasn't fallen to the level of being a beast.

  You can doubt my way of doing things, but you cannot doubt Lao Tzu's character. Although it is also very poor and petty, it is absolutely a real small person.

  At this thought, Du Haisheng let out a cold snort and with a gloomy expression, he rushed towards Zhao Wei'er and said: "For the sake of a woman, I wouldn't stoop to using despicable means to achieve my goal."

  "Cut, I didn't say anything, why are you making a face?"

  Zhao Wei'er had a look of utter disgust, earlier she saw Du Haisheng lurking around the door, and in her heart, she had an inexplicable feeling, this feeling was like eating a handful of Huang Lian, bitter and unbearable, even, on her heart there was a kind of unexplained jealousy, very clearly it was directed at Fu Hong who was inside the house, as if she wanted to snatch something from beside her.

  And this thing is right in front of me, this man - Du Haisheng!

  "I..."

  Du Haisheng was suddenly speechless, as if this girl hadn't said anything, but rather he himself had made a big fuss over nothing.

  "Hmph... I was trying to be kind, how could you say such unpleasant things to me? It hurts, brother..."

  He let out a soft sigh, and before Zhao Wei'er could react, Du Haisheng swiftly darted into his own room, slamming the door shut behind him with a swift motion that was almost inhumanly fast.

  If I continue to fool around with that girl, I'm afraid I'll really be criticized. This girl is heartless and ruthless when doing things, but her mouth is very sharp. In this regard, she doesn't resemble the straightforward girls from Shandong province at all, but rather shares some similarities with women from southern China. Normally, they appear gentle and delicate, but once they turn against you, they can scold you until you're left battered and bruised, without a whole skin.

  Zhao Wei'er stared with wide eyes as Du Haisheng rushed back to his room, standing there for a while without regaining his composure, with a look of astonishment on his face.

  He couldn't help but let out a chuckle, shaking his head as he thought to himself: "This guy, sometimes looks really manly, but today's performance is just like that of a shy and timid young lady."
