Chapter 108: Dai Mubai Challenges Aotian
Author: Xianyu Wangyue
Dai Mubai said, "I heard what you said from next door. Don't worry, Teacher Zhao is indeed fine now."
Only then did Tang San finally relax.
"Also, Teacher Zhao didn't let us touch those special weapons of yours. Remember to go collect them tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, Big Brother Mubai," Tang San said gratefully.
Dai Mubai glanced at Aotian's room next door and said, "You haven't eaten all day, you must be hungry. I'll take you to the Cafeteria to eat first."
"Okay."
Tang San followed Dai Mubai out. Oscar had already eaten, so he didn't go with them.
Watching Tang San leave, he let out a sigh of relief. During those few minutes with Tang San, he was truly afraid that Tang San would launch those terrifying things at him too.
The food at Shrek Academy wasn't particularly delicious, but it was nutritionally balanced. Tang San, being used to simple fare, didn't find it hard to eat.
Dai Mubai enthusiastically fetched a meal for Tang San and sat beside him, watching him eat. This friendly gesture deeply moved Tang San.
It was the first time someone other than his father and his teachers had been so kind to him.
He gradually came to believe in his heart that Dai Mubai was someone worth befriending.
Tang San didn't have many friends. He wasn't even sure if Aotian, Gu Yuena, and Xiao Wu counted as his friends. But now, he felt that he and Dai Mubai could become good friends.
After they finished eating, Dai Mubai said, "Tang San, let's go for a walk on the Sports Ground. I have a few things I want to ask you."
Dai Mubai said nothing more, simply leading Tang San to the Sports Ground in the center of the Academy.
"Big Brother Mubai, what did you want to ask me?" Tang San asked.
Dai Mubai had already prepared his questions and immediately asked, "Tang San, how much do you know about Aotian, Gu Yuena, and that Xiao Wu? Did you know each other before?"
"Big Brother Mubai, you want to get to know the new classmates, right? Why don't you ask them yourself?" Tang San asked.
Dai Mubai said, "I met them in Soto City yesterday, and things got a little unpleasant. Since I saw that you know them, I thought I'd ask you."
"So that's how it is." Tang San nodded and said, "The three of them used to go to the same Junior Academy as me. Aotian and Gu Yuena are both quite proud and a bit difficult to get along with. Xiao Wu, on the other hand, is easier to talk to, unless you do something to make her dislike you."
Dai Mubai gave a bitter smile. "I'm probably the one she dislikes. Yesterday, she saw me taking those two girls into a hotel, which is why she's been picking on me all day. You saw it too."
Tang San patted Dai Mubai's shoulder comfortingly. "Don't worry, Xiao Wu is a kind person. If you behave a little better in the future, everyone can still get along just fine."
Dai Mubai said, "I understand. By the way, are Aotian, Gu Yuena, and Xiao Wu in a relationship? They seem to act very intimately with each other."
Tang San shook his head. "I don't think so. Although their relationship is very good, I've never seen them hold hands or kiss, nor have I heard them announce they're a couple."
"I knew it," Dai Mubai said, a smile appearing on his face. "Based on my vast experience with women, I can tell from Gu Yuena's bearing and the way she walks that she's still an inexperienced girl. If Aotian were in that kind of relationship with her, how could he possibly resist the impulse to make a move on such a beautiful girl?"
Tang San looked at Dai Mubai's somewhat excited expression, sensing a different meaning in his words. He couldn't help but frown and say, "Big Brother Mubai, don't tell me you're interested in Gu Yuena?"
Dai Mubai nodded, patted Tang San's shoulder, and laughed heartily. "That's right! Thanks to you, kid, for giving me such important information. I was planning to give up today, but now, my resolve is firm again. To thank you, I'll treat you to a meal in Soto City tomorrow."
Tang San's expression changed slightly. He asked, "Don't you already have two girlfriends?"
Dai Mubai laughed. "Those two? I'm just playing around with them. If you want, I can introduce you to a few as well. But Gu Yuena... I've found that I've truly fallen for her. I really want to have an unforgettable, lifelong romance with her."
Tang San slapped away the hand Dai Mubai had placed on his shoulder and said coldly, "I never thought you were this kind of person."
Dai Mubai was stunned for a moment. Seeing the growing coldness in Tang San's expression, a thought struck him. "Tang San, don't tell me you also... for Gu Yuena..."
Tang San sneered, "I've liked her since the first day I met her, for five whole years now. She is such a pure and flawless girl. I absolutely will not allow a womanizer like you to hurt her."
Hearing Tang San say this, Dai Mubai's earlier excitement vanished instantly. He frowned and asked, "Then have you pursued her at all during this long time?"
Tang San fell silent for a moment before slowly nodding. "I have."
Dai Mubai said, "Based on my experience with relationships, if you've known her for so long and she still hasn't accepted you, it means she doesn't like you. Perhaps you could switch targets and try pursuing other girls."
Tang San's gaze grew even colder. "Do you think I'm like you, pursuing girls just for fun? To love someone should be for a lifetime. Dai Mubai, your character is despicable."
Dai Mubai said, "You're right. But I've truly never fallen for anyone before. This time, I have. For her, I'm willing to give my true heart."
Rage surged in Tang San's heart. He had never been this furious. The Soul Power within his body began to churn uncontrollably due to his emotions.
Sensing Tang San's state, Dai Mubai said in a low voice, "How about this? Since she hasn't accepted you yet, let's compete fairly. What do you say?"
Tang San didn't reply and turned to leave.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from fighting Dai Mubai.
But just as he turned, Tang San froze. Not far in front of him, a figure in white was standing there quietly, watching him and Dai Mubai.
"Aotian," Tang San said.
Aotian walked out from the dim light, stopping in front of Tang San and Dai Mubai. He asked mockingly, "Is it really a good idea for the two of you to be arguing over my wife here in the middle of the night?"
Tang San and Dai Mubai were simultaneously stunned. Dai Mubai shot a questioning gaze at Tang San.
*Didn't you say they weren't a couple? What's going on now?*
Tang San found it hard to believe. He asked, "Aotian, when did Gu Yuena get together with you?"
"Just this summer vacation," Aotian replied.
"Did she really agree?" Tang San asked again.
"Yes."
Tang San said no more and walked away. He understood that with a relationship as intimate as Gu Yuena and Aotian's, once they confirmed they were a couple, he basically had no hope left.
Although his heart ached, he had no choice but to accept this cruel blow.
Aotian looked at Dai Mubai, who was still standing there, and smiled. "What, you still have designs on my wife?"
Dai Mubai was extremely unwilling to give up. Especially when he remembered that Gu Yuena was still a virgin—such a beautiful fairy. Was he really going to let her go so meekly?
What he had told Tang San before was true; he had genuinely fallen for a girl for the first time.
Therefore, he decided to struggle a little more.
"Aotian, I want to have a man-to-man contest with you," Dai Mubai declared.
