Chapter 48: Bite Me
Xia Tian made a beeline for his destination since he knew where the literature and art club was. Both of them attracted a lot of attention as they were walking. More precisely, it was Ceng Rou who was the head-turner and caught the eyes of many.
Ceng Rou was definitely a great beauty, the best of the best whether it be in fashion or looks. Unlike the girls in the school, her beauty was one of subtlety.
Men could not help but take a second glance at the sight of her while the women went green with envy.
They soon reached the literature and art club where Ye Qingxue frowned at Ceng Rou the moment she laid her eyes on her.
“Xia Tian, who is she?” Ye Qingxue blurted as she stared at Ceng Rou with wariness. She felt a great deal of pressure before Ceng Rou’s commanding beauty, although she did not understand why she felt this way.
“I’m Ceng Rou.” Cheng Rou saw through Ye Qingxue’s thoughts. Through her years of experience, she could tell that this woman was interested in Xia Tian. She felt the seething animosity coming from Ye Qingxue the moment she entered the room.
“Let me introduce you two. This is my cousin, Ye Qingxue. This is Sister Rou.”
“Cousin?” Ceng Rou and everyone else in the literature and art club was taken aback.
“She’s your cousin?” Ceng Rou stared at Xia Tian in confusion. Was her intuition wrong?
“Of course, we grew up together.” Xia Tian nodded.
“Sister Xue, so he’s your cousin? You’ve really kept it under wraps. We thought he was your boyfriend.” The literature and art club members were under the impression that Xia Tian was Ye Qingxue’s boyfriend as he always turned up to solve any problems she faced.
“Sister Xue, you’re really something. I’m still single, you know?”
“Sister Xue, I have the looks and am good in the kitchen. You’re sure to be happy to have me as your in-law.”
“Sister Xue, don’t listen to them. I’m still a little girl.”
The women from the literature and art club drooled over him with their googly eyes. Xia Tian was their Prince Charming on a white horse. The basketball match and karaoke incident were still fresh in their minds.
“Brother Tian, I’m an obedient young woman.” One of the literature and art members made a move immediately, bashfully making herself known beside Xia Tian.
“I see you’re quite the ladies man.” Ceng Rou smiled slyly at the scene. `
“Hehe.” Xia Tian chuckled awkwardly. “Sister Rou… You’re teasing me as well?”
“Brother Tian, I’m serious!” The girl played it coy.
“Alright, I didn’t call you people here for a date. Look at you, you can’t even behave yourselves.” Ye Qingxue glared at the group of people.
The starry-eyed girls finally dropped their act after hearing Ye Qingxue utter those words. However, they still looked at Xia Tian pleasantly, occasionally winking at him while throwing flirtatious glances his way.
“Ye Qingxue, come out.”
“Oh no, upperclasswoman. The guys from the sports club are at it again.” A sissy from the literature and art club scurried in.
“Sports club?” Xia Tian turned to walk out.
“Well, if it isn’t Xia Tian. I thought you were playing 0dead. Who knew you’d dare to show your face today?” Yan Xu recognized Xia Tian. Although he could not recall how Xia Tian looked like, he could still immediately recognize Xia Tian when he saw him again.
“Who are you?” Xia Tian asked Yan Xu.
“Yeah, right. I was the guy that played with you in the game. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten me after only a few days?” Yan Xue sneered at Xia Tian.
“I don’t remember. I only remember beautiful women,” Xia Tian replied listlessly.
“Humph.” Yan Xu snorted coldly after sensing Xia Tian was mocking him. “I don’t care what game you’re playing. We’re here because of you today.”
“What do you need me for?” Xia Tian asked.
“To challenge you at training, of course,” Yan Xu replied.
“Are there any beautiful women?” Xia Tian posed another question.
“Our sports club is made up of men,” Yan Xu angrily answered. He felt ridiculed by Xia Tian.
“Then I’m not interested,” Xia Tian retorted with a serious look on his face.
“I don’t care if you’re interested or not. You have to compete today.” Yan Xu stood in Xia Tian’s way.
Smack!
Xia Tian’s slap sent Yan Xu flying across the room. His action left everyone present dumbfounded. It never crossed anyone’s mind that Xia Tian would lay a hand on him and with great force as well. Sure, Yan Xu was dainty but he was not small enough to be smacked across the room with a single slap.
“How dare you hit me!” Yan Xu stared furiously at Xia Tian with his hand covering his face.
“Bite me then!”
“Humph.” President Li’s expression hardened. This was blatant disrespect to President Li — hitting his people in front of him. The sports club had always possessed an overbearing presence because of the strong build of its members. No one dared to mess with them, and yet here someone was, hitting his people.
“You’ll pay for hitting me.” Yan Xu bitterly glared at Xia Tian. Nevertheless, knowing he was no match for Xia Tian, he tried to escape by hiding behind President Li.
It was then that Xia Tian kicked his butt, planting Yan Xu’s body flat on the stone floor.
By the time Yan Xu got up, his two front teeth were missing.
“You’ve gone too far! You should check who the boss is before raising your fist!” President Li was fuming at Xia Tian.
“There’s a boss here? Where?” Xia Tian made exaggerated movements glancing to the left and right. The literature and art club members behind him burst into laughter at his demonstration.
“How dare you taunt me!” President Li gave Xia Tian the death stare.
“President, you can’t let him off the hook. I’m with you. He’s not giving you face for hitting me. In fact, he didn’t kick my ass but your face instead.” Yan Xu’s tears were rolling down his cheeks while his mouth was still bleeding profusely.
“Your ass, his face,” Xia Tian earnestly added.
“You b*stard, you’re doomed.” President Li threw Xia Tian a kick without wasting another breath. As the president of the sports club, he was in better shape than many of the regular students. He often underwent training so his movements were agile.
“Be careful!” Ye Qingxue and Ceng Rou yelled simultaneously.
Smack!
A tight slap brought everyone back to reality.
“This slap is for the guy behind you. How can you be the boss with your incompetence?”
Smack!
“This slap is for you. Why act cocky when you know what’s coming for you?”
Smack!
“This slap is for the literature and art club. Your ruckus has disturbed their afternoon nap, don’t you know?!”
Smack!
“This slap is for these plants here, you’ve frightened them, don’t you know?!”
