After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

Chapter 100 An Overly Idolish Girl

The girl in the cheongsam seemed somewhat shaken, and in a daze, she looked at her family's security guard.

The two burly men were seen clutching their chests in exaggerated pain, struggling to breathe.

These are all handpicked fighters from the family. They may not be able to overpower ten opponents with sheer strength, but they are experts who can fight off four hands with their bare fists.

But she was lightly bumped by that boy, and that's how she ended up in such a sorry state.

Who is that boy?!

This question couldn't help but arise in the mind of a young girl.

"I'm sorry, miss... we could definitely stop him if he tried again. He just took advantage of our inattention..." The security guard recovered and tried to make amends.

"What I hate most is apologizing afterward."

The girl in the cheongsam covered her face with a fan and said in a cold tone, "It's one thing for my family to send people to follow me, but to send good-for-nothings like you to follow me too."

"Now, do you still have the nerve to follow me around? You insist on swaggering around like that, aren't you ashamed?"

"Also, move this car. Who gave you permission to park it at the school gate?"

"Miss...it wasn't you who asked me to..."

"Did I tell you to find a place to park that would block Li Yinuo's way of blocking the school gate?"

"stupid."

The girl in the cheongsam was clearly petite, and her voice was quite childish, yet she managed to intimidate the two burly men.

"Get lost. I'm fine on my own in Ning'an. I don't need you to interfere. What reason do you have to go back to Beijing and tell my parents?"

After saying that, the girl put away her folding fan, glanced at the onlookers, and said, "I gave some money to these students. Blocking the door like this not only delayed others but also ruined my reputation."

Then, the two security guards skillfully took out a stack of red envelopes from the car and handed out money to everyone present one by one.

"Ah, we're bad drivers and parked in the wrong place. Please forgive us! Please support our young lady's new book!" The security guard smiled憨厚ly, clearly this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this.

The college students watching the drama were all smiles. They didn't really know what had happened, but they were excited to get freebies and grab red envelopes.

"Oh my god! Goddess!"

"Goddess Xiao! Step on me!"

"Then what else is there to say?"

A series of monkey shouts rang out from the crowd, and Xiao Shuyao took the opportunity to walk into the school alone, hurrying to find the boy she had just met.

Ultimately, Xiao Shuyao was still somewhat annoyed. She had just gotten out of the car when the boy rushed straight towards her, ignoring her completely.

If it had been her who was hit and injured, she would probably be in the hospital right now.

What made Xiao Shuyao even more uncomfortable was the way that person looked at her.

Having grown up with her parents and seen countless people, how could she not understand that kind of gaze—the purely scrutinizing gaze of a superior looking down upon an inferior.

It contains no lust, no curiosity, no amazement, only contemplation.

When men see her, they are either afraid of her, have lewd looks in their eyes, or fawn over her.

She was always the one judging others.

She was nominated for the Mao Dun Literature Newcomer Award, was specially admitted to Peking University at the age of sixteen, and has produced numerous best-selling works. Her qualifications in the contemporary new literary scene are enough to rival those of Li Yinuo.

Did that boy dare to scrutinize Li Yinuo? Of course not, so what gave him the right to look down on her like that?

"Da da..."

A pair of stiletto heels tapped rhythmically on the marble pavement as she followed the boy's retreating figure to a book pavilion.

But then, an acquaintance met with the boy, behaving humbly. This acquaintance was a distant relative of hers... surnamed Gao, given name Quan.

Xiao Shuyao's assessment of this relative was that he was good at speculation and profiteering, but he was a person with good judgment.

Now, it's time to revise the evaluation; it's not that insightful.

"Brother Chen! I'm taking good care of that black cat. Business at my house has really picked up lately, especially Miss Yinuo's books, they're selling like hotcakes!"

Gao Quan was incredibly excited. "It's all thanks to you, Brother Chen! Is there anything else I need to do? My dad said that if you say the word, our whole family will go through fire and water for you!"

Zhang Chen just smiled and said, "By not spreading this and not causing any trouble, you're already helping me. If you can, give your employees a little more pay."

"Okay, I'll do it right away! By the way, Brother Chen, what have you been up to these past few days? Xiao Rou can't find you anywhere..."

""

"Living off a woman."

"what?"

"Da da".

Suddenly, the sound of high heels hitting the ground became particularly loud, startling Gao Quan. He stiffly turned his neck and saw Xiao Shuyao with an unfriendly expression.

"Gao Quan, I remember your best-selling book is mine, right?" the girl in the cheongsam said.

"Um... Cousin, you haven't returned to the capital yet?" Gao Quan scratched his head, quickly glanced at Zhang Chen's expression, and only felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual.

As far as he knew, Zhang Chen and Li Yinuo had a close relationship.

My cousin recently came over and made a big show of confronting Li Yinuo, wanting to have a debate on the spot at the literary salon, but Li Yinuo stood her up, making Nanjing University quite lively these past few days.

Gao Quan originally wanted to introduce Xiao Shuyao to Zhang Chen, but thankfully he stopped himself in time.

"Friends?" Xiao Shuyao stared at Zhang Chen, but spoke to Gao Quan.

"...Ah, no, no, I should say he's the older brother I met at school, Brother Chen. This is the cousin I mentioned to you, Xiao Shuyao..." Gao Quan stammered.

"Big brother?" Xiao Shuyao waved her folding fan and saw Zhang Chen looking down at his phone, laughing as he played.

Her delicate eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

"Your father sent you to study at Nanjing University, and this is how you've learned? It seems you've only picked up a worldly mentality in a small town. How will you survive back in Beijing?"

"No, no, our family was already planning to move all our assets to Ning'an..."

"A terrible decision."

Xiao Shuyao commented, then walked up to Zhang Chen as if holding her breath, interrupting him from scrolling through his phone: "I just fired two bodyguards, and I need a helper by my side, preferably someone my age who can understand me."

"Hey kid, you look friendly. Ever thought about a part-time job? Just name your price. Maybe working for me for a few days would significantly improve your chances of making mistakes in life."

As Xiao Shuyao spoke, the corners of her lips were already turning up. She wasn't the kind of arrogant and domineering playboy, so naturally she wouldn't bother arguing with Zhang Chen about venting her anger.

Instead, she wanted to use this employment method to let Zhang Chen know that she was not someone he could judge at will.

Let's take a look at her again, and see her beauty, her family background, and her abilities.

However, before Zhang Chen could react, Gao Quan's face had already turned pale. "Cousin, how could you take on a student?"

"What can't an adult do? Starting at 10,000 a day, how about it? Of course, my requirements will be very strict..."

"Cousin! Forget it, they obviously don't want to..."

"Gao Quan, this is none of your business. Did he say anything? Your father only taught you to be worldly and tactful, but didn't he teach you not to interrupt or interrupt?"

"Also, classmate, please don't think I came here with malicious intent. I don't think I've done anything impolite. Your ignoring me will lower my overall impression of Nanjing University students."

"If you want to refuse, please say so, instead of just playing with your phone like this."

Xiao Shuyao's little mouth chattered on and on, never stopping.

Zhang Chen turned off his phone, mainly because Shen Nianxi had just sent him a set of incredible photos of beating beans, and he couldn't resist looking at them.

"Brother Chen, don't be angry. My cousin isn't a bad person, she's just a bit stubborn..." Gao Quan tried to play peacemaker, desperately giving Xiao Shuyao meaningful glances.

He really didn't want his cousin to die. What kind of businesswoman or rich second-generation was she? In front of Zhang Chen, she was no different from a clown.

"It's nothing," Zhang Chen said with a calm smile. "They just wanted to talk business with me, it's nothing."

"It's not a business deal, it's me hiring you." Xiao Shuyao crossed her arms, adopting a defensive posture.

She tried to take control of the conversation and to overwhelm the other person with her presence.

But seeing the man's smile, she felt like a little girl playing house... weak and powerless.

She couldn't help but feel nervous, but she also became more excited, showing a kind of fighting spirit. She never expected that she would encounter such an unknown person who caught her attention, instead of Li Yinuo.

However, the other person's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, piercing through the layers of self-construction she had meticulously crafted: "Your pride is too strong," Zhang Chen joked, "and a bit childish, like a genius."

"I don't have time to be a bodyguard, I have class later."

These two short sentences made Xiao Shuyao lose her composure.

Because...she was seen through.

Startled, she lost her grip and the folding fan fell to the ground. Without even picking it up, she disregarded her ladylike manners and grabbed Zhang Chen's arm, saying, "Wait."

"Um?

'

"Not a bodyguard, but an assistant. How about I pay you 20,000 a day? All you need to do is work in your spare time..."

"No matter how much money I offer, I'm really too busy." Zhang Chen brushed her small hand away. "Your hands are a bit sweaty, remember to wipe them off next time before you pick someone up."

"I..." Xiao Shuyao then noticed that there was some water on her palm, and she felt ashamed and embarrassed.

But now that things have come to this, her competitive spirit has completely taken hold, and she is determined to make this boy think more highly of her.

Just observe for a little longer...

How could she be the only one who saw through her weakness? She had to see through him too!

Thinking this, the girl scurried after me in her high heels, her face flushed pink. "I don't need you to be my assistant, just be my playmate. You don't have to do anything, just let me follow you!"

"Do I have to follow you while you sleep?"

"and."

"Going to the restroom?"

"and!"

How much does it cost per day?

Thirty thousand.

Seeing her determination, Zhang Chen extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

The girl learned her lesson this time. She took out a wet wipe, dried her hands, and reached out to shake Zhang Chen's hand.

The moment their fingers touched, she felt the rough, broad, and warm touch of the boy, and she suddenly realized that she never had any physical contact with boys.

Xiao Shuyao pulled her hand back as if she'd been electrocuted, feeling extremely awkward. Her face flushed crimson as she looked at Zhang Chen's fingers, which were much larger than hers. "What...what should we do first?" she asked.

"Let's begin class," Zhang Chen said.

Gao Quan was dumbfounded, wondering if Zhang Chen was really a humanoid succubus.

I have absolutely no idea how Zhang Chen managed to hook up with my cousin in just a couple of glances and a few words.

Is it based on modeling? He's undeniably handsome, especially after not seeing him for over a week; Zhang Chen's handsomeness seems to have reached an unprecedented level... Is this guy even human?

But he didn't know that his cousin was a looks-obsessed person. Xiao Shuyao had seen countless handsome men, but she could hardly talk to any of them.

"Gao Quan, aren't you going to class? You're going to be late." Zhang Chen waved to him.

"Hey, Brother Chen's here."

Gao Quan walked behind the two, unable to contain his curiosity any longer. He quietly asked the distraught Xiao Shuyao, "Cousin, do you think my brother Chen is handsome?"

"What's your brother Chen's name?"

"Zhang Chen, Zhang as in bow and arrow, Chen as in dust and earth."

Xiao Shuyao imprinted the name in her mind, glancing sideways at Zhang Chen's profile.

She habitually ignores people's appearance because she demands of herself that she never judge a book by its cover... She believes that focusing on a person's inner character, speech, and behavior is more helpful to her writing.

But upon closer inspection, Xiao Shuyao realized that the boy's appearance had reached a level that could not be ignored.

Suddenly, the girl remembered the poem she often wrote in her book: "Raising my cup, I cast a disdainful glance at the blue sky, as radiant as a jade tree standing before the wind."

It's not just about elegance and sophistication, but also about a clear, mysterious, and unrestrained aura that emanates from within.

Xiao Shuyao focused her gaze and began to look Zhang Chen in the eye, determined to make him admire her talent.

If she wasn't mistaken, Zhang Chen was almost certainly a fan of Li Yinuo's books.

Xiao Shuyao had carefully studied this respectable opponent; being a fellow writer, she could naturally discern the personal agenda expressed in his book...

What Li Yinuo wrote was not a book at all, but a documentary. This is what angered Xiao Shuyao. Why should a book made from a documentary stand on the same stage as her?

Zhang Chen is clearly imitating a character from Li Yinuo's book; he even mimics the character's demeanor so perfectly.

A hardcore book lover!

This is exactly what I wanted, Xiao Shuyao clenched her small hands.

She twists other people's fans into her fans, completely shaping them into her image... They feel hopeless and mentally broken if they can't read her books anymore, begging her to write more, unable to stomach those old-fashioned books anymore, only she can satisfy them...

This thrill of plunder would bring Xiao Shuyao, the author, immense pleasure.

"Gao Quan, does our school allow people from other schools to audit classes?"

"Yes, yes, and my cousin is also a student at Peking University. She notified us before coming to Nanjing University."

"Okay, your cousin is quite generous. She gave me 30,000 just to be her little tagalong."

17

"Ah...uh..." Gao Quan sensed the teasing in Zhang Chen's words.

Turning to look at Xiao Shuyao again, she saw that her cousin's expression was as firm as if she were going to the battlefield, her eyes fixed on Zhang Chen with burning intensity.

Oh no, Xiaorou looked at Zhang Chen with the same gaze last time.

Now that his cousin has also fallen, Gao Quan doesn't know whether he should be happy for her or sad for her...

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the classroom.

Zhang Chen seemed to have underestimated the popularity of the woman in the cheongsam. As soon as Xiao Shuyao appeared in the classroom, the entire room instantly erupted in excitement.

Some book fans even brought their books to ask for autographs.

"Teacher Xiao, I've been waiting for you for so long! I didn't expect to see you in the classroom today! Is there some kind of activity?"

"Experience a classroom at Nanjing University."

"Oh, Ms. Xiao, you are just as beautiful as you are on TV! Your cheongsam is so pretty! Could you sign your name for us? Just in our books!"

"Yes, thank you." Xiao Shuyao smiled reservedly, her eyes still glancing at Zhang Chen out of the corner of her eye.

She noticed Zhang Chen casting a curious glance at her.

Xiao Shuyao was secretly delighted and deliberately adjusted her bangs.
