Chapter 142: Airgun Game

After being rejected by He Min at the school gate last time, he never gave up on pursuing He Min.

Unfortunately, He Min had a female bodyguard arranged by Chen Mo picking her up and dropping her off every day, giving him no chance at all.

This time it was also a coincidence, letting him see He Min again here.

"Ah Min, I know last time you were just acting with Chen Mo; you're definitely not his girlfriend, right?"

"Huang sir, I already made it clear last time—I don't like you; please don't disturb our meal."

Although she didn't like Huang Ziyang's repeated disturbances, as a teacher her own quality prevented her from saying anything harsh.

Huang Ziyang wouldn't give up: "Ah Min, you're a teacher, I'm a police officer—we're a great match! Even if you don't like me now, it's fine; as long as we spend some time together, you'll discover my strengths."

"Sorry, Huang sir, I'm having a meal with my girlfriend; please don't disturb us." Seeing He Min unable to utter harsh words to refuse, Chen Mo couldn't help but interject.

"If you keep harassing my girlfriend, I might file a complaint against you, Huang sir."

"Hmph, is Ah Min really your girlfriend? Don't think I don't know—you're just acting with Ah Min for my benefit; with your abilities, you're not worthy of Ah Min."

Huang Ziyang looked down at Chen Mo, his eyes full of contempt.

"You'd better know your place and leave quickly, otherwise I can arrest you and take you to the police station right now."

Chen Mo's expression changed; he stood up and walked to Huang Ziyang's side, extending his hands and said coldly: "Go ahead and try to arrest me now. But with so many diners watching, I don't know what charge you intend to pin on me."

Huang Ziyang glanced around; many diners in the restaurant were tilting their heads to watch the spectacle.

Who could refuse to watch a good show of romantic rivalry while eating?

Huang Ziyang angrily shouted at the surroundings: "What are you looking at? Eat your meal! Haven't you ever seen police arrest gangsters?"

"Huang sir, speak clearly—who's the gangster?" Chen Mo sneered, "Why don't you ask everyone here—making a big scene, harassing someone's girlfriend—who between us really looks more like a gangster?"

"Of course it's that latter person." Someone dining in the dark muttered.

"Right, that's correct!" Another voice.

"Where's the manager? Why hasn't he kicked out the troublemakers yet!"

This restaurant is of high standard, not cheap; those dining here aren't ordinary civilians—they all have some standing.

When Huang Ziyang previously scolded them, he didn't take them seriously; now these diners also aren't planning to give him any face.

Anyway, they were all shouting from behind others, so Huang Ziyang didn't know who was speaking.

"Huang Ziyang, if you still want to save face, just leave on your own; if I throw you out, you'll have no face left."

Chen Mo said while clenching his fists, making a cracking sound.

"You... you... you wait for me; today this isn't over!"

Seeing Chen Mo about to strike, Huang Ziyang immediately stepped back two steps, uttered two harsh lines, then turned and left.

He currently has no reason to arrest Chen Mo, nor can he beat him; a wise man doesn't suffer immediate loss—he'll surely have a chance to regain his standing later.

After Huang Ziyang left, Chen Mo sat back down, looking at He Min and smiling: "Looks like to be your boyfriend, Ah Min, I need to stay constantly alert."

"What's wrong?"

Chen Mo said wistfully: "Romantic rivals are hard to deal with; who knows, I might be sabotaged at any moment."

He Min rolled her eyes at Chen Mo and coquettishly said: "How come you're still afraid someone will sabotage you?"

"I'm certainly not afraid." Chen Mo curled the corner of his mouth, smirking: "Does this mean you're admitting I'm your boyfriend?"

He Min suddenly realized what she had just said, her face blushing, and denied: "No, I just misspoke."

Chen Mo chuckled and didn't continue teasing He Min.

In the afternoon Chen Mo brought He Min back to school, staying by her side to help, never leaving.

Because He Min was accompanied by a handsome man, some teachers and students familiar with her would occasionally cast curious glances.

He Min finally couldn't take it anymore, speaking up to have Chen Mo leave: "Mo Ge, you're so busy; why don't you just go back first?"

Upon hearing that, Chen Mo immediately feigned hurt: "I haven't really attended school much, nor have I taken part in a school celebration. Since I ran into you today, I naturally want to see it properly—you won't drive me away, will you? Or am I making you unhappy by being here?"

That "male green tea" tactic works best on thin-skinned girls.

Seeing Chen Mo like that, He Min instantly felt she was doing something rather excessive.

"No, I don't mean to send you away; I'm just worried I'll delay your affairs."

Chen Mo's expression shifted instantly: "All right then, I have nothing to do this afternoon—I'll stay here and keep you company."

He Min was left somewhat speechless by Chen Mo.

This person doesn't at all resemble a Triad Society big boss; instead he seems like a rascal.

The school celebration officially began.

Ai Ding Bo Zhong Xue's school celebration planned many activities, including various lectures, exchange meetings, visits, performances, and so on.

Of course, these were aimed at alumni with certain status and standing.

For some ordinary alumni, there were also Triad Society performances and fun games.

He Min and her students also organized a maze airgun competition.

"Teacher He, want to join the competition?" a little girl ran over and asked.

"No need, you guys play." Although He Min is young, she's an adult; having her play airgun games with a bunch of minors is really awkward for her.

"Come on, it's a lot of fun."

"Yeah, Teacher He, why not play with that handsome guy beside you!"

Another group of students ran over, pulling He Min and Chen Mo toward the maze entrance.

Upon reaching the maze entrance, Chen Mo also suggested: "Why not just play together? Anyway, I've never played before."

He wasn't actually interested in playing; he just noticed a few brats lurking in the shadows, conspiring about something while sneaking glances at him.

It looked like they were plotting something against him.

Although the middle schoolers posed virtually no threat of harming him, they successfully piqued his curiosity.

The classmates are so enthusiastic; you shouldn't dampen their spirits.

"All right." He Min nodded helplessly.

Hearing Chen Mo and He Min were willing to play together, several boys exchanged a glance and smiled in understanding.

Chen Mo paid no attention to their little moves, took the air gun, and led He Min into the maze first.

The several students behind immediately began to conspire.

"We'll take the secret passage and ambush them first."

"Xiaogui, are the traps set properly? Won't they hurt Teacher He?"

Huang Xiaogui from the passage said: "It's fine, that guy will definitely walk ahead of Teacher He."

"Isn't this a bit too much? They even helped us this afternoon." A girl couldn't help but say.

"It's fine, we're just teasing him a bit. Who let him dare to compete with our boss for Teacher He?"

"Exactly, today our Star Star Gang will help our boss win back his girlfriend."

"That's right. Once that guy loses face, Teacher He will surely look down on him, and then our boss will have a chance."

"All right, hurry up and go in, or else we won't be able to find them later!"

Under Huang Xiaogui's urging, several boys crawled into the maze from another entrance.
