Chapter 155: Chapter 154: Bei Bei, the Picture of Grievance
"Lexuan, I'm here." At midnight, Bei Bei, dressed to impress, arrived at the field. With a spring in his step, he felt as though the world was his.
Zhang Lexuan was wearing a white dress, long and flowing, looking like a fairy as she stood with her back to him. Seeing her figure, Bei Bei's heart skipped a beat.
He couldn't help but want to slap himself—had he been blind because of Tang Ya? How had he missed someone as beautiful as Zhang Lexuan?
If he'd only realized it earlier, perhaps Zhang Lexuan might have already been the mother of his children.
After all, Zhang Lexuan was in her twenties, the perfect age for starting a family.
"Hm?" Hearing Bei Bei refer to her so intimately, Zhang Lexuan frowned, shivering in distaste. She couldn't stand it.
She felt nothing for Bei Bei now.
The faint bond of friendship had faded after she'd learned so much from Qian Ran.
If her enemy was indeed Mu En, and he had annihilated her family, then she'd see to it that his descendants paid the price.
"Lexuan, what's wrong?"
Bei Bei's heart skipped a beat.
For a moment, Zhang Lexuan seemed different, a stranger to him.
The way she looked at him was no longer soft and affectionate. Instead, he sensed a trace of disgust.
Could he be mistaken?
Zhang Lexuan, disgusted with him? Impossible.
Her greatest dream had to be marrying him, right? Back when he barely paid her any mind, Zhang Lexuan had always been there for him. Now that he was ready, she'd undoubtedly be grateful.
Bei Bei let out a relieved sigh.
He felt confident. Zhang Lexuan could never resist his charms.
It was midnight, and the campus was empty; all the students were asleep. Why had Zhang Lexuan called him here at this time?
He already had a good guess and couldn't help but look forward to it.
He hadn't expected his senior sister to be so… bold.
"Bei Bei, you're here?" Qian Ran, who had been napping on a nearby tree, yawned and hopped down.
"Qian Ran? You're still awake at this hour?" Bei Bei was surprised, then thrilled. He'd been looking for a chance to humiliate Qian Ran, and here he was, presenting himself.
Qian Ran had mentioned stealing Zhang Lexuan's heart—let's see how he'd react when he realized she was already committed to Bei Bei.
"Just spent some quality time with Ya Ya and came out for some fresh air," Qian Ran stretched, smiling. It was obvious that he and Zhang Lexuan had orchestrated this, though Bei Bei hadn't noticed.
Bei Bei's expression darkened, feeling furious.
Tang Ya had a fine figure, perhaps not as developed as Zhang Lexuan's, but her potential was tremendous. Given time, she might even surpass Zhang Lexuan.
"Tang Ya? She's yours if you want her. I already told you—I'll have nothing more to do with Tang Ya. From now on, she's just a stranger to me. I, Bei Bei, a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, can have any woman I want."
"Tang Ya's background is insignificant. She suits you well, but only Zhang Lexuan, Senior Sister of the inner courtyard, can match me," Bei Bei said proudly.
He would no longer be Tang Ya's lapdog.
Tang Ya was nice, but Zhang Lexuan was better!
"Shameless," Qian Ran retorted, landing a firm slap across Bei Bei's face. Qian Ran could hardly believe how shameless Bei Bei was, claiming only Zhang Lexuan was worthy of him?
With that cowardly attitude, he couldn't even play the villain properly.
If Qian Ran were in Bei Bei's position, he'd have dealt with someone like himself in secret long ago. With such a powerful ancestor, Shrek Academy wouldn't have dared intervene. This was the kind of person Qian Ran despised.
"You dare hit me?"
"Are you crazy?"
Bei Bei jumped up, clutching his cheek, eyes blazing with fury.
With Zhang Lexuan backing him, how could Qian Ran dare lay a finger on him? Was Qian Ran out of his mind?
Qian Ran had trampled his dignity one too many times; Bei Bei was at his limit.
How could Mu Bei Bei tolerate such repeated humiliation?
"Senior Sister, he hit me."
Bei Bei's eyes filled with tears, looking like a child who had been wronged.
Qian Ran was going too far. As the second-generation prodigy of Shrek Academy, Bei Bei couldn't believe how badly Qian Ran bullied him.
He wanted nothing more than to be comforted by his senior sister.
Smack!
Seeing Bei Bei put on such a pathetic act, Zhang Lexuan felt like throwing up. As Bei Bei approached her, she finally had enough and slapped him herself.
How satisfying.
Zhang Lexuan had learned this from Qian Ran. Seeing how gratifying it was when he slapped people, she wanted to give it a try. She found it equally satisfying.
Bei Bei's other cheek quickly swelled up as well.
Dazed, he looked at Zhang Lexuan in disbelief.
How could she hit him too? Wasn't she the same senior sister who had always been so kind to him?
"If you hadn't provoked Qian Ran, would he have hit you? I warned you not to mess with him, but you wouldn't listen," Zhang Lexuan said, growing angrier. She delivered two more slaps.
This useless Bei Bei always caused trouble, expecting her to clean up his mess. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Thank goodness Qian Ran was her true love; otherwise, she would have been terribly disappointed.
"Senior Sister, I'm the one being bullied by Qian Ran! He even took…" Bei Bei started to say Tang Ya's name but quickly shut his mouth. If he brought her up, Zhang Lexuan might get mad.
He was so close to finally winning her over; he couldn't risk angering her.
Surely, she was only upset because of his past foolish behavior. Deep down, she still cared for him.
Once she cooled down, he'd get what he wanted. He could take his frustration out on her and even have her help deal with Qian Ran.
"Senior Sister, I was wrong. I won't act that way again," Bei Bei said, immediately softening his stance.
He knew she'd take pity on him.
Perhaps she'd even invite him inside to apply some ointment on his bruises. Then he'd have a chance to…
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's near-perfect figure under her dress, Bei Bei smiled. He might have taken a beating, but he would still get his reward.
"Qian Ran, you see, Bei Bei has already apologized, so…" Zhang Lexuan said with a mischievous smile, looking at Qian Ran. Bei Bei, however, was oblivious to her tone, still believing she was the gentle, caring senior sister he'd always known. How foolish.
"That won't do. Bei Bei put me in the hospital last time, and Ya Ya had to take care of me until I recovered. So, I absolutely have to get even," Qian Ran said, barely able to contain his laughter.
