Chapter 32: Zhuge Yue

However, the awkward part was that the classical beauty carried her meal and walked straight over to sit down next to me. At that moment, I laughed so hard that the food in my mouth sprayed out. Although it was very unrefined to act this way in front of two beauties, I truly couldn't help it.

After the classical beauty sat down next to me, she smiled at me and said, "You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"

I saw the murderous look in Third Brother's eyes and felt very helpless. You've already sat down and now you're asking me if it's okay? This is simply acting first and asking later; how could I possibly say no?

But before I could speak, Third Brother hurriedly brought his meal over, shamelessly sat down next to the classical beauty, and quickly said, "Of course you can, I don't mind, I don't mind at all!"

The classical beauty smiled, looked at Third Brother, and said, "I didn't expect your skin to be quite so thick. But let me be clear with you: I'm not interested in you, and I don't like your type of person, so it's not going to happen between us!"

"We haven't spent any time together, how do you know it's not possible? Besides, you don't understand me. If you got to know me, you'd definitely discover I have other, more charming sides. Maybe I'm exactly the type you like!" Third Brother was relentless; after all, to give up on such a beauty would be a tragedy, so he definitely had to try his best.

"Xu Hongzhi, an orphan since childhood, grew up with Yang Yun, along with five other brothers. Because you couldn't stand the bullying and beatings at the orphanage, the group of you ran away, lived on the streets, worked as beggars, and were thieves. You just met Yang Yun a while ago, worked a part-time job at a KTV, and upon arriving at school, you've been hunting for girls on a massive scale. In these past few days, the number of girls in the school you've harmed is no less than...? Based on these facts, I am indeed not interested in you. If it weren't for Yang Yun's sake, I would have kicked you out already!" The classical beauty rattled off all of Third Brother's past experiences in one go, which left both me and Third Brother exceptionally shocked. Zhang Yinuo, however, had no reaction, as if she already knew.

"What kind of ghost are you? Are you checking household registrations?" Third Brother said helplessly.

"You don't need to know that. In short, I know your background inside and out, so there's no need for us to spend time getting to know each other. You should just go back to carrying out your girl-chasing plan!"

Third Brother looked dejected. It was as if everything about him was known to her, and he couldn't help but feel that the beauty before him was terrifying. Even if he did manage to win her over, he probably wouldn't be able to handle her. Third Brother simply stopped talking and instead looked at me with schadenfreude, because judging by this beauty's behavior, she was most likely here for me.

Then, the classical beauty said to me, "Yang Yun, hello, my name is Zhuge Yue. I'm very happy to meet you, and I hope we can get along very well in the future!"

"What? You are Zhuge Yue?" Third Brother jumped up in surprise. Looking at the Zhuge Yue before him, she was indeed, just like the legends said, an extraordinary woman.

Zhuge Yue smiled, nodded, and said, "That's right, I am Zhuge Yue!"

I looked at her and also nodded, saying, "Hello. I won't give much of an introduction; your database should have it all, but I'm still happy to meet you!"

"To be honest, my data on you isn't very complete. There are some blank spots and some things that can't be explained, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to approach you!" Zhuge Yue looked at me, her eyes full of curiosity.

"You want to understand me? You'd better not. Don't you know that when a woman is full of curiosity about a man, that is when she falls for him?" I made a rather cliché joke.

"It's fine. You aren't the type I dislike, so if I fall, I fall!" Zhuge Yue didn't mind at all.

Sometimes I really don't understand why these women keep approaching me for no reason. Is it just because I'm handsome? I'm not narcissistic to that degree, and it's impossible for it to be just that reason. What is their purpose in approaching me? This is very puzzling to me. As for whether their motives are pure or if they will harm me, I can't judge for now; I can only let things take their course.

"I really don't know what kind of dog-shit luck you have, that these beauties are actually all interested in you!" Third Brother said to me with annoyance.

I helplessly spread my hands.

Then, Zhuge Yue asked us, "Are you planning to go to Chen Zhen and the others' invitation this afternoon?"

"Only an idiot would go. It's clearly a trap they've set for us to walk into!" Third Brother cursed.

"If you don't go, you'll likely be talked about behind your backs," Zhuge Yue reminded us while eating in small bites.

"Who cares? Strength isn't something you prove with your mouth!" Third Brother looked indifferent. He had never cared much for reputation, and I was naturally even more laid-back, so I didn't care either.

Having received our answer, Zhuge Yue nodded, not caring about the gazes of the people around them.

After finishing our meal and returning to the classroom, Wang Xiaopang ran over and said, "Damn, Boss, did you go to see Zhuge Yue at noon?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, we saw her."

"Damn it, if I had known, I would have gone to eat with you. What a huge loss, my goddess!" Wang Xiaopang wailed with his hands over his chest.

"Is it really that big a deal?"

"Boss, you don't understand. Zhuge Yue is my goddess. She rarely comes out, and everyone usually just crowds around her classroom door to see her!" Wang Xiaopang was full of disappointment.

I ignored him and returned to my seat to continue reading. Zhang Yinuo was also there to tutor me. Under the efforts of these past few days, my academic performance was basically quite good. Although I hadn't taken a test, I felt I should be able to do fairly well.

When school ended in the afternoon, Third Brother and I naturally weren't stupid enough to keep that appointment with Chen Zhen, so we walked out of the school gate in a relaxed manner.

However, not long after we left the school gate, we were suddenly blocked by a group of people. A few of these people looked familiar; they were the ones we had beaten in the morning, Chen Zhen's subordinates. I didn't expect Chen Zhen to come here to block us.

Third Brother and I looked at each other, and I said to Zhang Yinuo behind me, "You should go first; the scene that follows might not be suitable for you!"

Zhang Yinuo shook her head and said nonchalantly, "Have you forgotten whose daughter I am? What do these things count for?"

Indeed, having grown up in a Heishe Society family, Zhang Yinuo had likely seen such scenes long ago, so she was naturally not afraid.

Chen Zhen walked out from the crowd at this moment and cursed at us, "Damn, a bunch of cowards. I knew you wouldn't keep the appointment, so I specifically left a backup plan. You hit me and still want to run? Today I'll let you know that I, Chen Zhen, am not someone to be trifled with!"

The group of people Chen Zhen brought numbered about a dozen, and they looked like students. They formed a circle, clearly not intending to let us run.
