Chapter 90 Alright, I take it back!

  "We've met by South Lake so many times, how can I remember which sentence you said?!" Han Xiaoxi said irritably.

  Chen Chufan put away the gentle smile on his face and seriously reminded him, "There was once when I asked you by the South Lake if I were a monster what would you do?"

  Seeing Chen Chufan's serious face, Han Xiaoxi also furrowed her brow and tried to recall. "Hmm, I remember now. You asked me like this before, and I think I told you that if you could become Ultraman, I'd approve of you going to find two more! Eh? Are you saying you're special, or are you preparing to say you're a monster?"

  Han Xiaohui suddenly reacted and asked with a surprised face.

  Chen Chufan nodded seriously.

  "What's the point of talking nonsense? It's not funny at all!" Han Xiao Xi pouted, responding listlessly.

  Chen Chufan said with a serious face: "I'm not talking nonsense. It's true!"

  After finishing speaking, he ignored Han Xiao Xi's astonished gaze, first walking to the door of the ward and locking it from the inside. Then, he turned around and walked to the head of Han Xiao Xi's bed, picked up a fruit knife from the fruit plate, and in Han Xiao Xi's shocked cry, he violently stabbed the fruit knife towards his own heart.

  The force used was a bit too much, the fruit knife was bent, but Chen Chufan was unscathed. He pulled up his shirt and leaned in close to Han Xiaoxi, who was staring at him with her eyes wide open, to show her the faint red mark on his chest. Then he put down his clothes and sat quietly in front of Han Xiaoxi's hospital bed, waiting for her possible reaction.

  Chen Chufan didn't see the frightened expression he had expected from the girl. Instead, after her initial shock, she looked surprised and delighted. "Is this what they mean by 'invulnerable to swords and guns'? Have you practiced qigong?"

  The girl's reaction made Chen Chufan very pleased, this should be the most perfect reaction. Perhaps heaven gave him this strange body, fearing that he couldn't find his other half, so it sent this elf-like girl to his side.

  With this idea, Chen Chufan only felt that he had been moved to tears by the girl's nervous and straightforward reaction, and the idea of dedicating himself to her was even more intense. He hastily nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice, acknowledging the girl's explanation.

  "Can you let me see it again?" The girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Chufan with a request.

  Chen Chufan nodded silently and lifted his shirt again.

  Han Xiaoxi gently stroked the shallow blood stain on Chen Chufan's chest with her good hand, feeling a slight itch and more of an electrifying numbness.

  Does it hurt?

  Chen Chufan shook his head.

  "Was it with this skill that you defeated those rascals that day?"

  Chen Chufan nodded slightly.

  "I saw on TV that to practice this kung fu, one must maintain a childlike body. So in the future, we won't be able to do that thing?"

  Chen Chufan started sweating profusely.

  "Alright, I admit you're almost as cool as Ultraman! But I take it back, if you dare to find two more, I'll kick your door open with one foot. This kind of kung fu's door can be found on TV!"

  Chen Chufan felt like he was covered in black lines all over his head.

  As he walked out of the hospital, Chen Chufan felt that the world had never been so beautiful. The moon was so round, the air was so fresh, and even the sweltering summer night was radiant with sunlight. Oh no! It's radiant with moonlight.

  It was actually him who didn't think that his unusual physical condition would be so easily accepted by the girl, and after repeatedly instructing Xiao Xi not to reveal her unusual side, Chen Chufan happily left the hospital room.

  Humming a lively little tune, he pushed open the door of his dormitory and was shocked by what he saw before him.

  Less than twenty square meters of bedroom, actually squeezed in no less than 30 people, Lao Da and Xiao Pang helplessly lay on the bed looking at themselves. Yang Tao was in the center of that group of people, vividly describing something.

  "What's going on? What is this?" Chen Chufan's puzzled remark attracted the attention of those rascals who were intently listening to the story, and instantly ignited the enthusiasm of everyone in the dormitory.

  "Awesome! The great hero is finally back! Share some experience!"

  "Chen Chufan, you're not human, you're a god in our hearts!"

  "Brother Chen, my admiration for you is like the endless Yangtze River and the unstoppable overflow of the Yellow River!"

  "Chen Xiong, I heard you are the third generation descendant of Chen Zhen, and have been trained since young. Is that true? I also heard you were once a disciple of Shaolin Temple?"

  ..........

  The sudden enthusiasm made Chen Chufan dizzy. Chen Zhen's third-generation descendant? Joined the Shaolin sect? Such a mysterious title and legendary experience, no doubt Yang Tao is making up stories again.

  Chen Chufan glared at Yang Tao, who was lurking in the crowd, and began to reluctantly answer the enthusiastic classmates' various questions. He really wanted to tell everyone that Yang's words were all nonsense, that those experiences were fabricated, but when he found that his normal responses weren't accepted by anyone, he couldn't help but smile wryly and admit a bunch of absurd things. Such as being Chen Ru's third-generation descendant, such as being forced to study hard under family pressure since childhood, such as being a secular disciple of Shaolin Temple... By the time everyone left the dormitory with a satisfied smile, it was almost lights out.

  "Yang Tao, if you don't stop bullshitting people, you'll die!" Chen Chufan finally let out an angry roar when the dormitory was left with only four people.

  "What's the big deal?! We haven't even settled accounts with you yet. You're a hero who saves the beauty, but you have to keep it from us, do you really consider us as brothers?! Yang Tao looked at Chen Chufan with a mischievous grin, without any sign of remorse: "Besides, I just bragged a bit, isn't that also helping you promote yourself? Why are you so angry?"

  "You can't just make things up, am I supposed to be grateful for some mysterious great-grandfather popping out of nowhere?" Yang Tao's questioning made him back down, but Chen Chufan retorted somewhat begrudgingly.

  "Alright, alright! Chen Zhen is a big shot! Who would have thought that you could get close to him? What's with the mysterious act? You're always busy and never seen around! What are you up to?" As soon as Yang Tao changed the subject, it meant that the conversation was over, in short, don't even think about bringing it back up again in front of him.

  "Library, hospital!" Chen Chufan muttered a sentence, then rushed to the toilet, tidied himself up, and directly crawled onto the bed.

  "Right, after this semester, I'm going to study abroad. If everything goes smoothly, it should be around September this year!" Chen Chufan announced his recent life plan while lying in bed.

  "Pffft... pffft" Poor Yang Tao had just taken a mouthful of water, but spat out more than one mouthful, immediately followed by a violent fit of coughing.

  Chen Chufan lay on the bed, looking at Yang Tao's disheveled appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle. One sentence could make Yang Tao suffer a bit, which was also considered as avenging the arrow of being slandered by him.

  "Nima, can't you avoid bringing up such unexpected topics at critical moments next time? It's really hurtful!" Yang Tao exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

  "Alright, that's not the point. The point is how did you suddenly decide to study abroad? Which country are you going to study in?" Meng Wei asked puzzledly from his bed. Chen Chufan's family background was well-known to several brothers, and it was indeed puzzling that he would suddenly say he wanted to study abroad.

  "It should be Country M, my part-time club is paying for the support!" Chen Chufan briefly told the two brothers about the cause and effect.

  "Wow, Old Three! You can have such an adventure just by finding a part-time job, your luck is against the sky!" Yang Tao exclaimed. "It's indeed a good opportunity, but with your chaotic English level, you think you can pass TOEFL in August? You're overestimating yourself! This isn't called putting gold on your face, it's putting a hole on your face!"

  In their first year, the three brothers tried to take the English Level 4 exam, and the results were of course terrible. So Yang Tao mercilessly ridiculed Chen Chufan's inexplicable confidence.

  "Actually, I knew you guys would definitely do poorly on the test and didn't want to stimulate you too much, so I intentionally hid my true abilities. My actual English level is not what you think it is!" Chen Chufan said with a mysterious face. "Now that we've decided to go abroad, of course, there's no need to hide anymore! Ah, the feeling of being able to fully exert myself is really cool."

  It's obvious that with the improvement of his abilities, Chen Chufan's face has also become thicker and more impervious to shame, to the point where he can deceive people with a straight face, even daring to cheat Yang Tao.

  "Blow, keep blowing, you've blown all the bulls up, wait for the public bulls to come and find you! Still hiding, say a complete English sentence for me to hear?" Yang Tao glanced at Chen Chufan with his eyes slanted, sneering.

  "A man has two ears that he may hear mud speak little." Chen Chufan suddenly uttered a fluent English sentence, which made Yang Tao stunned.

  "Hey boss, what's Lao San saying? It sounds like it has a bit of an English flavor to it?" Yang Tao asked loudly with innocent-looking eyes.

  "Yes, it's a bit like that! It seems to be saying that a man has two sons and a hat, what comes after is unclear, spoke too fast, didn't quite catch it." Meng Wei explained seriously.

  "Gasp!"

  What's called worldly retribution, that's it. Chen Chufan swallowed his saliva in vain, and when he heard the boss's explanation, he was choked by his own saliva. After a severe coughing fit, Chen Chufan looked at the boss with an extremely resentful gaze. Helping Yang Tao take revenge doesn't have to involve telling such a joke, does it? It's really cold!

  "Huh? What's wrong? Was my explanation incorrect?" Meng Wei asked humbly, chuckling dryly as he met Chen Chufan's resentful gaze.

  "What I mean is, a person has two ears and one mouth, so that he can listen more and speak less!" Chen Chufan explained with great frustration. Although just a day ago, his English level was not much different from that of Meng Wei, the big boss, but at this moment, Chen Chufan felt that in terms of English level alone, he could totally surpass the big boss by half the globe.

  "My god, Lao San, I feel like you're indirectly mocking me for talking too much?" Yang Tao grumbled in dissatisfaction.

  "Haha, your feeling is really accurate, Yang Tao. Alright, discussion ended, sleep!" Chen Chufan smiled complacently and decided to end the night's chat. With a good mood, drowsiness came faster. Chen Chufan decided to have a good sleep before coming back to deceive these two brothers about his sudden surge in English proficiency.

  Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly thought of something very important.

  "My song is written, tomorrow we start rehearsing the program. Boss, I'm planning to make you the male lead!"
