"Senior Tang He, I have no enmity with you. Why are you provoking me outside my dorm building late at night?"
Chen Nan, wearing slippers, stormed downstairs!
He was, of course, acting!
After all, Tang He couldn't shake his resolve!
Tang He's eyes were playful, "Chen Nan, I actually admire you. To have developed the Quit Smoking Pill at such a young age, whether by luck or skill, you have every right to be proud!"
"If it were me at your age, I wouldn't have achieved what you have now!"
"But, even with achievements, you shouldn't get carried away!"
"If you dislike me, just say it. Why frame me with baseless accusations?" Chen Nan said angrily, "Tell me, how have I gotten carried away?"
Tang He's gaze turned cold, "Ye Wanzhi will be my woman one day. I advise you to stay away from her in the future, or don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
"Ptooey!"
Chen Nan spat fiercely, "How dare you claim Senior Ye is your woman? She didn't mention your relationship when we had dinner tonight, and she's always said she's single!"
"You're just pestering her!"
"I'm baffled, you're also a senior intellectual in our Traditional Chinese Medicine department. How can you be like a sticky plaster, clinging to Senior Ye?"
"Have you no shame?"
"Who are you calling shameless? Do you really think I won't dare to lay a hand on you?" Tang He roared in anger. He had been pursuing Ye Wanzhi for over a year and hadn't even managed to have dinner with her!
Chen Nan, having only arrived yesterday, had already gone out to dine with the woman he loved. This alone had enraged him!
Chen Nan's insult of calling him a "sticky plaster" had struck a deep nerve!
The male onlookers on the distant balconies wore expressions of shock!
They never expected Chen Nan to dare to verbally humiliate Tang He!
Indeed!
This guy was a special recruit admitted through recommendation!
And he had developed the Quit Smoking Pill!
He was bound to be arrogant!
Tang He sought trouble with him, and he certainly wouldn't tolerate it!
However, the public argument between the two was really detrimental to their image as senior intellectuals!
"Heh!"
Chen Nan scoffed, "I'm a special recruit admitted through recommendation. If you dare, try to touch me?"
"It's not that I'm looking down on you, but do you dare?"
"If you dare to touch me, I promise to report this to the school leadership!"
"Then you'll have to consider the consequences!"
Tang He instinctively clenched his fists!
He desperately wanted to rush forward and beat Chen Nan senseless!
To vent all the anger in his heart!
But!
Chen Nan's words were like a bucket of cold water extinguishing the fire in his heart!
Yes!
This guy was a special recruit admitted through recommendation!
And he had developed the Quit Smoking Pill!
Even those senior professors had extended an olive branch to him!
If he laid a hand on him today, the consequences would be unimaginable!
He would definitely face disciplinary action!
And might even be expelled from Yang Mingyu's laboratory!
It was somewhat... not worth the risk!
"So, Senior Tang He, you called me out today just to show off in front of me and threaten me to stay away from Senior Ye?"
"Hahahaha!"
"Do you really think I'm scared easily?"
"Sorry, I don't buy your act!"
Chen Nan said triumphantly, "Oh, right, there's something you might not know! Principal Li has already hired me as the deputy team leader for their lab's new project!"
"In other words, I'm Senior Ye's superior!"
"We'll be working together frequently from now on!"
"And, as long as I want, I can ask her out for meals under the guise of work!"
"Surprised?"
"Unexpected, isn't it?"
He then showed a provocative expression, "Playing with me, can you win?"
"Damn your mother!"
Tang He's inner rage completely erupted!
He had come to declare his claim over Chen Nan and tell him to stay away from Ye Wanzhi!
But instead, he was publicly humiliated by the other party!
Especially Chen Nan's mention of taking Ye Wanzhi out for meals under the guise of work, which ignited his fury!
At this moment!
All reason!
All concerns!
Were thrown to the wind!
He clenched his fists and, under everyone's disbelieving eyes, punched Chen Nan hard in the face!
Time seemed to freeze!
No one expected Tang He to assault someone in public!
After all, assaulting someone in public at school would result in disciplinary action, a demerit!
In their minds, Chen Nan probably didn't expect Tang He to actually act either!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so arrogant!
Wouldn't have provoked him again and again!
Yes!
If nothing unexpected happened, Chen Nan must be regretting it now, right?
After all, being beaten up by someone is a humiliating experience for anyone!
Yes!
He thought he could crush Tang He with his words!
But the moment Tang He made his move, neither of them was a winner!
Bang!
A muffled thud echoed!
Following that, a chilling scene unfolded!
Chen Nan, like a kite with a broken string, drew an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground!
He spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Holy crap, Senior Tang He's strength is too much!"
"My God, he actually knocked Chen Nan flying with one punch? This guy is 1.8 meters tall and weighs at least 75 kilograms, and he was sent flying like that?"
"Senior Tang He is like a god descended!"
"It's unbelievable!"
Everyone marveled at Tang He's strength!
Even Tang He himself was greatly surprised!
He looked at his bloodied fist!
His eyes were full of bewilderment!
Holy crap!
Sent an adult flying with one punch?
How did my strength become so terrifying?
Suddenly!
An exasperated shriek came from the distance, "Tang He, what are you doing?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ye Wanzhi, wearing a purple pajama set, barefoot, and with a face full of anger, running over!
Seeing Chen Nan on the ground, her eyes were filled with concern and anxiety. She quickly asked, "Chen Nan, are you alright? Are you injured? Do you feel anything uncomfortable?"
Boom!
Tang He's scalp tingled. He never expected Ye Wanzhi to show up!
Without further thought, he quickly said, "Wanzhi, it's not what you think!"
Ye Wanzhi suddenly raised her head, her eyes extremely cold, "I saw you knock Chen Nan to the ground with my own eyes. What else do you want to explain? Do you take me for a fool?"
"Tang He, you've truly disappointed me!"
"I just went out for dinner with Chen Nan, and you openly committed assault!"
"I'm really glad I didn't accept you!"
"We're not even ordinary friends, yet you hurt the guy I ate with. Your possessiveness is too strong!"
Tang He's face turned red with anxiety, "He deliberately provoked me into acting!"
Chen Nan said weakly, "Senior Tang He, it was you who came to my building to cause trouble. All the guys in the department can testify for me. Why are you slandering me?"
"Just because I talked back to you a few times?"
"Senior Ye, I feel a bit dizzy..."
He said, his voice weak, "Can I lean on you to sleep for a while?"
At this moment!
Everyone's scalp tingled!
Holy cow!
How can this guy be so shameless?
Isn't this just nakedly taking advantage of Ye Wanzhi?
