Chapter 180 – Arm-wrestling With the Government

The next day, Chen Yu dropped his three little sisters off at their respective schools like usual. Afterward, he lazily arrived at Sixth High, entered Cla.s.s 2-2’s cla.s.sroom, and sat on his seat.

“C-Chen Yu, you’re here.”

At this time, Xing Biqi, who sat in the front seat, turned around with a lunch box in hand. “I made this for you.”

“Cake, again?” Chen Yu raised his brows.

“N-No.” Xing Biqi hurriedly shook her head. Abashedly, she said, “I-It’s oyster soup.”

“Oyster soup?”

After casually grabbing the lunch box, Chen Yu opened the lid and took a sniff. Failing to smell anything strange, he grabbed the spoon clipped to the side of the lunch box and took a mouthful.

“How is it?”

Chen Yu did not immediately answer. Instead, he tossed the spoon aside and started gulping the soup directly from the container until nothing remained. He then wiped his mouth and asked, “Can you make more in the future?”

“I-Is it because you like it very much?”

“If you prepare more, I can skip breakfast at home and sleep longer,” Chen Yu honestly answered.

“…I-I’ll prepare more from now on, then. It’s fine so long as you like it.”

“It’s not a matter of like or dislike. Since you prepared the food, I have to eat it even if it tastes bad to avoid harming your reputation.”

“Thank you, Chen Yu.”

“No problem. It’s what I should do.”

Chen Yu nonchalantly waved his hand. He then pulled out his phone and said, “You should turn around. It’s not good for male and female students to stick so closely to each other.”

…

“Shameless…”

Meanwhile, Li Liang, seated at the chilly balcony, shivered in anger as he looked at Chen Yu and Xing Biqi. “This is G.o.dd.a.m.ned suffocating…”

From his vantage point, Li Liang could see the dog food[1] his cla.s.smates were spreading. Chen Yu’s and Xing Biqi’s dog food was especially difficult to stomach, yet he had no choice but to swallow it.

Li Liang simply couldn’t understand why a beauty like Xing Biqi would be interested in a b.a.s.t.a.r.d like Chen Yu.

Was it merely because Chen Yu had secured a seat for her?

But that seat initially belonged to him! Even if Xing Biqi were to fall for someone, it should be him!

“Dogs.h.i.t. Dogs.h.i.t luck. Dogs.h.i.t b.a.s.t.a.r.d…achoo!”

Rubbing his nose, Li Liang pulled out a military coat from his bag and draped it over his body. He then continued looking at Chen Yu resentfully…

“Hmm?”

Sensing the malicious gaze, Chen Yu turned toward Li Liang and observed the latter for a moment. He then shouted, “Bald Li, open the window! It’s too hot inside the room.”

“Scram!!”

…

In the evening, after the school bell rang, Chen Yu promptly picked up his school bag and walked out of the cla.s.sroom.

“Chen Yu! W-Wait up!” Xing Biqi called out. Without even tidying up her desk, she simply picked up her bag and chased after Chen Yu.

“What is it?” Chen Yu asked as he turned around.

“C-Chen Yu, my grandparents will be coming home in a few more days. When…” Covering her blushing cheeks, Xing Biqi said, “When will you come to my house?”

“Oh! Right!” Realization dawned on Chen Yu. “I need to go to your house to teach you.”

“Mhm, mhm.”

“We’ll be studying physics, is it?”

“Mhm!” Nervously clenching her fists, she asked, “A-Are you free today?”

Folding his arms around his chest, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before he nodded and said, “I guess I’m free. I’ll make a call home first.”

“Wonderful!” Xing Biqi hugged one of Chen Yu’s arms and shook it in excitement.

At this time, Li Liang just happened to come out of the cla.s.sroom. Upon seeing this scene, his expression instantly twisted, and he retreated into the cla.s.sroom with ragged breaths…

“Stop shaking. Let me make my call.”

After pushing Xing Biqi away, Chen Yu leaned against the corridor and gave his mother a call.

Beep…

“h.e.l.lo?” After the busy tone continued for some time, Mother Chen’s voice came from the receiver. “Little Yu?”

“It’s me. I’m staying the night at Li Liang’s place. I won’t be heading home, so no need to prepare dinner for me.”

“You’re going to spend the night outside?” Mother Chen raised her tone.

“Mhm. The finals are coming up soon. Li Liang says he has many topics he doesn’t know, and he’s asked me to teach him,” Chen Yu said, making up a bunch of nonsense. “You know Li Liang and I are close like brothers. I can’t just ignore him.”

After saying so, Chen Yu quickly stepped into the cla.s.sroom and grabbed his makeshift club from under his desk. He then approached Li Liang and whispered into the latter’s ears, “Tell my mom I’m going to your house.”

Li Liang: “…”

“Say it.” Chen Yu lightly brushed the nails on the club against Li Liang’s face.

Indifferently, Li Liang grabbed the phone and said, “h.e.l.lo? Aunty? Chen Yu’s going to stay over at my place today. Mhm. Okay, okay. We won’t make trouble. Goodbye, aunty.”

Disconnecting the call, Li Liang returned the phone to Chen Yu. He then briefly glanced at Xing Biqi before sourly asking, “What are you doing tonight?”

Tap, tap, tap.

In response, Chen Yu raised his club and tapped it against the wall three times.

Li Liang: “…”

“Focus on studying at home. Use your right hand to wield your pen instead of that nonsense. I’m leaving first. Bye-bye.”

Li Liang: “…”

After leading Xing Biqi out of the school entrance, Chen Yu generously hailed a taxi.

“L-Let’s take the bus. It’s only one yuan,” Xing Biqi weakly said as she stepped back.

“My treat,” Chen Yu said as he hopped into the back seat. After dragging Xing Biqi into the car as well, he said to the driver, “To the front of the train station.”

“Y-You really know where I live!”

“I told you before that Bald Li mentioned it to me.”

“But I never told him.”

“That, I don’t know.” Chen Yu shrugged.

Roughly ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

After paying the taxi fare, Chen Yu got out of the car together with Xing Biqi. He then said, “Lead the way. I only know you live in this area.”

“Okay.”

Xing Biqi tightly hugged her bag and led the way, her heart filled with feelings of excitement and anxiety.

Chen Yu quietly followed after the girl, his right hand inserted into his pants pocket.

Inside the pocket, both the High-frequency Lightsaber and Amnesia Rattle were ready to go.

The invisible camera was also on alert mode as it hovered above his head.

He was already prepared to lay his cards on the table.

If the other party really was an agent…

Under Xing Biqi’s lead, the two entered an alley and stopped before the third to last bungalow.

“T-This is my house.” Lowering her head, Xing Biqi apologized, “Sorry that it’s a bit old.”

“A bungalow with a yard. Very good.”

Taking out a key, Xing Biqi unlocked the front door and led Chen Yu into the room.

The house was simple but clean.

The kitchen was especially spotless.

“C-Chen Yu, come in. This is m-my room.”

“Sure.”

Although Chen Yu behaved casually, he was actually on high alert as he walked into the girl’s bedroom. His eyes were cautiously observing his surroundings.

After conducting reviews for several months, he deemed that he already had the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with the government. This was especially true after the Type-K Beast Armor’s appearance. Hence, he had agreed to Xing Biqi’s invitation.

If this girl really was a government agent, this proved that he had indeed been discovered already. In that case, he might as well open up and “arm-wrestle” with the government.

However, if the girl before him was utterly ignorant, this proved that his concealment was indeed seamless and impeccable, and even the government was helpless against him.

Taking a seat on a wooden chair, Chen Yu sneered as he mumbled, “Let’s see who’s tougher…”
