My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1287: Encountering Lei Laowu

Tan Xianglan was a girl, and faced with such demands from a big man, she didn’t want to argue, so she retreated. But after taking two steps back, she realized her backside bumped into Chen Tianlong.

"Ah!"

Tan Xianglan turned around awkwardly and saw Chen Tianlong scratching his head, causing her cheeks to flush red.

"Xianglan, stop backing up. Just go ahead. He’s a big man, why bully a woman like you? What’s the rush anyway, off to reincarnate?" Chen Tianlong couldn’t bear seeing such people bullying women, there’s nothing wrong in being a bit slower.

"Oh."

Listening to Chen Tianlong’s words, Tan Xianglan felt it made sense and began to move forward again. She wasn’t scared, just thought it was no big deal to give way, nothing significant.

Lei Laowu was annoyed seeing Tan Xianglan back down and then proceed again, realizing that Chen Tianlong must have urged her.

"Kid, what’s your deal? The woman has stepped aside, why won’t you?"

Lei Laowu glared at Chen Tianlong and said.

"Oh? You know she’s a woman, yet you don’t step aside? Logically, we’re a man and a woman, clearly a couple, so of course, we’re going together. It’s just us two, for you to let us through, wouldn’t that make sense?" Chen Tianlong immediately argued back.

"Well..." Lei Laowu felt he had no argument and dared not explain. Suddenly, he remembered that he never followed logic in his actions, so he cursed loudly: "Damn, you want trouble huh, forget logic, I want to go down today. If you have the guts, stand still."

Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly. If Tan Xianglan wasn’t in front, he’d really want to stay put.

Tan Xianglan was also at a loss. As a woman, it wasn’t appropriate to physically fight, so she turned her face to look at Chen Tianlong, seeking advice.

"Hey guys, come on down."

Suddenly, a voice called from behind. Chen Tianlong turned and saw an acquaintance, freezing for a moment, he quickly went down intending to call Huang Zhong, but suddenly remembered the false name given to Tan Xianglan, he hurriedly went over, hugged Huang Zhong, and whispered quickly in his ear: "My name is Shen Tian now, everything else remains the same."

Huang Zhong, being quick-witted, understood immediately, smiled and said: "Brother Shen, long time no see, doing well?"

They embraced briefly like long-lost good friends, warranting no suspicion. Tan Xianglan thought Chen Tianlong was just listening to the advice from below, surprised to meet an acquaintance.

Lei Laowu, obviously not seeing the hug between Huang Zhong and Chen Tianlong due to the turning stairway.

"Ha, afraid huh, I thought so, who would dare provoke me, strange." Lei Laowu said arrogantly.

The Lei Family had just risen; they hadn’t encountered external masters yet, so with his fifth-stage ability, he considered himself heaven-defying, becoming conceited.

Chen Tianlong forced a bitter smile, didn’t respond, and chatted with Huang Zhong. Tan Xianglan noticed Chen Tianlong knew this person and looked, seemed somewhat familiar.

"Excuse me, who is this?" Tan Xianglan asked curiously.

"Haha, this must be Brother Shen’s friend, I am Huang Zhong, from Capital City." Since a friend of Chen Tianlong, Huang Zhong saw no reason to be overly cautious, unaware of Chen Tianlong’s reason for hiding his name from Tan Xianglan.

"Are you young master of Huang Family in Capital City?"

Tan Xianglan was stunned, her brows furrowed; everyone in Capital City knew about the rivalry between the Huang Family and Celestial Descent Mountain’s Tan Family, almost leading to conflict.

Suddenly meeting someone from the Huang Family was awkward; she never intended to be part of such intrigue yet couldn’t escape this fate, truly helpless.

"Hmm, may I ask who you are?"

Huang Zhong asked back curiously seeing Tan Xianglan’s inquiry.

"From Ancient Tan Family at Celestial Descent Mountain, Tan Xianglan."

Tan Xianglan replied with a bitter smile.

"Wow, turns out you’re the lady of Tan Family, a pleasure! When I heard about Miss Tan, I wanted to meet you, lucky to encounter you outside, truly fortunate." Huang Zhong was clearly very excited.

"Huh?"

Tan Xianglan was dumbfounded, worrying Huang Zhong might not be pleased due to family issues, yet he was very excited and showed no sign of displeasure.

She wondered if Huang Zhong wasn’t aware of the two families’ situation?

"Um... thrilled to meet me?" Tan Xianglan smiled reluctantly.

"Yes, my father even considered proposing." Huang Zhong spoke straightforwardly, directly saying.

"Huh? Propose? You’re joking right, proposing to whom?" Tan Xianglan was baffled, thought it’d be hard enough not to fight, yet proposing and who would marry you anyway?

"To you, I like you."

Huang Zhong said it calmly yet firmly.

"Ah?"

Tan Xianglan was again surprised, unsure how to respond. Her eyes just caught sight of Chen Tianlong. She quickly said, "Haha, you’re joking. I already have a boyfriend."

Before Chen Tianlong could react, Tan Xianglan walked over, took his hand, and said: "Honey, tell him, am I your girlfriend?"

"Huh?"

Now it was Huang Zhong’s turn to be shocked. If it were anyone else, he might believe it, but Chen Tianlong was clearly his sister Huang Ziyan’s crush. His sister, Huang Ziyan, was a stunning beauty — kind, lovely, and gentle, possessing all traits of good women. Chen Tianlong wouldn’t abandon her to date another right?

Moreover, he heard Chen Tianlong already had a girlfriend, but Huang Zhong was sure it wasn’t Tan Xianglan. If anyone fell for Chen Tianlong, it was understandable considering his capability and good looks.

"Xianglan, don’t call randomly, it’s awkward to hear."

Chen Tianlong broke out in a cold sweat; Huang Zhong was Huang Ziyan’s brother, and Huang Ziyan seemingly knew Lin Wushuang, if things were exposed, wouldn’t the two girls call each other and ruin everything? Chen Tianlong never anticipated Huang Zhong would appear here.

"What’s wrong? Didn’t you insist on marrying me earlier? Now you’re backing out?" Tan Xianglan frowned, pouted, asking angrily.

"Not at all, Xianglan, stop messing, I’ll explain later." Chen Tianlong was frightened, the more explaining, the worse it got.

Sure enough, Huang Zhong stared at Chen Tianlong intently, waiting bewildered as Chen Tianlong owed a clear explanation.
