Chapter 87: I Want to Challenge You

~8 min read 1,542 words

Facing Xu Fengyuan's sudden question, Li Qingyan looked surprised, but she was not startled.

She had always been very confident in her own appearance; previously, when she went to other places to give lectures or speeches, incidents where students would confess their feelings—either subtly or bluntly—had occurred.

And those students who expressed their admiration for her were mostly like Xu Fengyuan, pure and shy big boys.

According to her usual practice, Li Qingyan would heartwarmingly steer the conversation away to express her refusal.

Today she had originally intended to do the same, but she did not expect that, upon accidentally raising her eyes, she would actually see Chen Che.

She remembered that Chen Che had asked her where she was holding the exchange meeting, but she hadn't thought much of it, and she didn't expect him to have really come.

However, seeing that there were a few people beside him, he probably wasn't here specifically to listen to her lecture either.

These things were not important, but since she was being confessed to here, it would have been fine if Chen Che had just watched coldly from the sidelines, but he was actually smiling so gloatingly!

Was he trying to pull up his pants and refuse to acknowledge the debt? She had to tease him!

Li Qingyan looked at Chen Che with a mischievous smile, and seeing that he was about to run, she immediately spoke up: "I'm sorry, Student Xu. I have received your feelings, but I have a boyfriend, and he is right here."

The whole room was shocked, and there was an instant uproar!

"Ah? Where?"

Upon hearing this news, Xu Fengyuan felt more shock than the sadness of being rejected; he could not imagine what kind of man could be worthy of Li Qingyan!

"Who is it? I must see him!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and the others became restless as well, all craning their necks to look for the person.

At this moment, Li Qingyan turned her head to look toward the entrance. The gazes of the others followed her movement.

The crowded flow of people automatically parted to make a path, and at the end of the path was exactly Chen Che, who had been preparing to run but failed to do so.

Sensing the countless gazes behind him, Chen Che turned around, smiled, and waved: "Everyone, don't misunderstand, I'm just passing by."

He had already been in the limelight enough by helping Qian Rongrong earlier; he did not want to become the focus again.

Although these university students were already adults, their mental maturity was not necessarily adult as well.

Being targeted by this kind of group, one might end up with some strange trouble, and it would be particularly difficult to handle.

Being too tough was inappropriate, and being too dismissive wouldn't solve it; the only way was to play dumb.

However, Li Qingyan clearly did not give him that chance.

Li Qingyan deliberately said in a cloying voice: "Darling, why are you standing there? Come over quickly, let's greet everyone together!"

Boom!

The entire room erupted in an explosive clamor; everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Chen Che with faces full of shock.

"That is Professor Li's boyfriend?!"

"He's not much older than us, right? A May-December romance? Damn, that's explosive!"

"That guy looks so ordinary! I refuse to accept this; my goddess cannot be with someone who is good for nothing!"

Ma Zijun stared at Chen Che in disbelief; he remembered what Chen Che had said before—with him there, the Divine Doctor Li would definitely agree to go to the Ma Family.

Only at this moment did he understand that this was what Chen Che had meant!

If Chen Che had said himself that he and Li Qingyan had this kind of relationship, Ma Zijun might not have believed it, but since Li Qingyan said it herself, it certainly couldn't be fake!

Ma Zijun secretly rejoiced in his heart; fortunately, he hadn't shown any hostility toward Chen Che because of the Ma Zicheng incident earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to invite Li Qingyan!

Lin Su, who had been expressionless, was also incredibly shocked at this moment; she gazed at Chen Che, her eyes full of curiosity.

She couldn't figure out how Chen Che had caught Li Qingyan's eye.

The status of being a mere leader of the Qibao Association might carry some weight in Shanghai.

But in Jinling, it really didn't count for much. And Chen Che, even in front of Ma Zijun, could not be called outstanding.

And although Lin Su was not a member of the Ma Family, she had been by Ma Zijun's side for a long time and had seen many young talents.

Chen Che's identity as the leader of the Qibao Association was only enough to make her take one extra look at him, but only one look.

Therefore, regarding Ma Zijun's unusual respect for Chen Che, she had only assumed it was a necessary measure to build a connection with Li Qingyan.

But now it seemed that Chen Che was truly not simple!

Because the identity of being Li Qingyan's boyfriend was enough to explain many things!

Li Qingyan's status in the medical field was very significant, not just in Xia, but in the whole world.

And a person like her had always had a sharp eye and high standards, and she was extremely demanding in her choice of a partner.

Lin Su could be certain that the identity of a Qibao Association leader could not catch Li Qingyan's eye, so what other identities and abilities were hidden in Chen Che?

She couldn't figure it out, but the more she couldn't figure it out, the more intense her curiosity about Chen Che became!

Also unable to figure it out was Ma Menghan.

Ma Menghan had known for a long time that Chen Che was mysterious, but hearing Li Qingyan's words, she was still shocked beyond measure.

Along with the shock came a bitterness where envy and jealousy were intertwined.

If what Li Qingyan said was true, then she had no confidence to compare herself to a goddess like Li Qingyan, who had both beauty and talent.

Qian Rongrong blinked her bright, large eyes, her gaze shifting back and forth between Chen Che and Li Qingyan, finally landing on Chen Che.

Even if she was shocked, she was not surprised. She had witnessed Chen Che's powerful martial arts strength.

A Martial Artist with that kind of strength could not be contained by a small pond like Shanghai.

She stared at Chen Che, but subconsciously touched her bottom; the numbing sensation had disappeared, and a strong sense of loss and fear filled her heart.

She knew very well that she was just Chen Che's slave, and a man like Chen Che would never lack women by his side.

If even an excellent woman like Li Qingyan was infatuated with him, then how could she ever win Chen Che's favor?

Luan Youdong touched his balding head, his lips feeling a bit dry.

He had originally thought that Ma Zijun was the protagonist of their group, but now it seemed to be Chen Che.

He rubbed his nose, pondering how he should try to get on good terms with Chen Che.

Ma Zicheng walked past the entrance silently with a mop; he had experienced a mountain-collapsing and earth-shattering ordeal in the restroom for a full half-hour, and his chrysanthemum had almost been blown to pieces.

After finishing up, he felt a fire in his heart, unable to stop himself from linking his sudden diarrhea to Chen Che.

Facing the fact that Chen Che had made him lose face and suffer social death time and again, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, vowing that if he did not avenge this grudge, he would not be a man!

He took a mop from the restroom and found the classroom, thinking to give Chen Che a hard blow while the crowd was dispersing and in chaos.

Yet he did not expect that before he could make a move, Chen Che had once again become the center of attention.

This forced him to pause his actions, and as for the explosive news Li Qingyan had announced, he had absolutely no interest in gossiping about it.

The only thing he was thinking about now was settling the score with Chen Che!

However, compared to Ma Zijun and the others, the ones who found this explosive news the most unacceptable were the students inside the classroom.

Xu Fengyuan pushed through the crowd, walking straight toward Chen Che with murderous intent.

Wherever he passed, the onlookers hurriedly cleared a path, and after he walked by, they crowded back around with faces full of Eight Trigrams.

Xu Fengyuan arrived in front of Chen Che, first looked him up and down, and then bowed very politely: "Hello, my name is Xu Fengyuan."

Chen Che forced a smile: "Hello, my name is Chen Che."

"Mr. Chen, I want to challenge you!"

Xu Fengyuan frowned, looking unconvinced and resentful, and suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

Chen Che clutched his forehead, thinking: Oh no, I really ran into a college student who hasn't passed his middle-school-syndrome phase yet!
