“Chen Yang, you can be pleased with yourself, for now. Good grades won’t get you far. All you dorks, you study yourself dumb each day. And then what? You’re going to work for me, answering every beckon of my call when you graduate.” Zhao Ziliang gloated, pointing at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang made a sardonic grin. He had no intention of wasting his breath on this one. That being said, walking away from such taunting would be regarded as a sign of weakness.

“I won’t waste my time talking to you.”

As he finished the sentence, Chen Yang got off the bicycle, and gave Zhao Ziliang a sudden kick. Taken by surprise, Zhao Ziliang fell backwards, and whimpered on the ground, hands grasping his stomach.

“How dare you hit him, Chen Yang!” His action also gave a fright to the ex-girlfriend, who hurriedly supported Zhao Ziliang to get up. Zhao Ziliang, in the heat of his anger, pushed the girl away forcefully. She ended up on the ground.

Zhao Ziliang then struggled up and without another word, threw a punch at Chen Yang. However, it was far too slow.

Without stepping away, Chen Yang dodged the blow with a quick shift. At the same time, his elbow met Zhao Ziliang, who uttered a cry and fell sideways.

Chen An remained seated on the backseat and watched. Though Zhao Ziliang talked tough, he was no match for the truly sturdy Chen Yang. And the more furious he felt, the more he was determined to get to Chen Yang. Yet every blow from Zhao Ziliang was effectively blocked and served back, until the girl called for security.

In the dean’s office, a staff member inquired in a stern voice: “what were you two doing, fighting on campus?”

“He started it!” The girl who was pushed onto the ground by Zhao Ziliang now pointed at Chen Yang, and claimed: “I can testify. I saw Chen Yang strike first!”

What if Chen Yang did? They had another witness.

Chen An cut in: “Mr. Li. I saw the whole thing happen.”

Mr. Li, of the dean’s office, who kept a straight face until now, immediately broke into a smile and addressed Chen An genially, “Ah, it’s Mr. Chen!”

Chen An had changed into neat and clean casual clothes after he took off his sportswear. He’d not been a teacher for long, and did not look like one.

Thus Zhao Ziliang and the girl were taken by surprise when they heard this man who hadn’t spoken a word till now was a faculty member at the university.

“Actually, Zhao Ziliang started it by calling Chen Yang names. Well, you know what young men are like. They soon began exchanging blows. Fortunately no one was hurt. I think they’ve learned their lesson.”

Chen An said with a smile. A few days ago, he’d just donated a batch of new equipment to the dean’s office, and got acquainted with the staff members, including Mr. Li. As colleagues, they should naturally reserve some respect for the others’ opinion.

After all, it was just a row between two students. Besides, Chen Yang had learnt well from Chen An. Unless Zhao Ziliang took off his clothes on the spot, which would in no way add to the spoiled young man’s pride, no visible marks could be seen.

“So that’s it?” Zhao Ziliang trilled in a high-pitched, scornful tone.

Chen An gave him a glare: “Mind what you say, if you don’t want to be beaten again. I don’t care whether you’re a spoiled little prat at home; this is not your home. And the teachers are not your parents. Next time you call others names and get your ass kicked, I only have one thing to say: serves you right!”
