Chapter 180 – Arm-wrestling With the Government

The next day, Chen Yu dropped his three little sisters off at their respective schools like usual . Afterward, he lazily arrived at Sixth High, entered Class 2-2’s classroom, and sat on his seat .

“C-Chen Yu, you’re here . ”

At this time, Xing Biqi, who sat in the front seat, turned around with a lunch box in hand . “I made this for you . ”

“Cake, again?” Chen Yu raised his brows .

“N-No . ” Xing Biqi hurriedly shook her head . Abashedly, she said, “I-It’s oyster soup . ”

“Oyster soup?”

After casually grabbing the lunch box, Chen Yu opened the lid and took a sniff . Failing to smell anything strange, he grabbed the spoon clipped to the side of the lunch box and took a mouthful .

“How is it?”

Chen Yu did not immediately answer . Instead, he tossed the spoon aside and started gulping the soup directly from the container until nothing remained . He then wiped his mouth and asked, “Can you make more in the future?”

“I-Is it because you like it very much?”

“If you prepare more, I can skip breakfast at home and sleep longer,” Chen Yu honestly answered .

“…I-I’ll prepare more from now on, then . It’s fine so long as you like it . ”

“It’s not a matter of like or dislike . Since you prepared the food, I have to eat it even if it tastes bad to avoid harming your reputation . ”

“Thank you, Chen Yu . ”

“No problem . It’s what I should do . ”

Chen Yu nonchalantly waved his hand . He then pulled out his phone and said, “You should turn around . It’s not good for male and female students to stick so closely to each other . ”

…

“Shameless…”

Meanwhile, Li Liang, seated at the chilly balcony, shivered in anger as he looked at Chen Yu and Xing Biqi . “This is goddamned suffocating…”

From his vantage point, Li Liang could see the dog food[1] his classmates were spreading . Chen Yu’s and Xing Biqi’s dog food was especially difficult to stomach, yet he had no choice but to swallow it .

Li Liang simply couldn’t understand why a beauty like Xing Biqi would be interested in a bastard like Chen Yu .

Was it merely because Chen Yu had secured a seat for her?

But that seat initially belonged to him! Even if Xing Biqi were to fall for someone, it should be him!

“Dogshit . Dogshit luck . Dogshit bastard…achoo!”

Rubbing his nose, Li Liang pulled out a military coat from his bag and draped it over his body . He then continued looking at Chen Yu resentfully…

“Hmm?”

Sensing the malicious gaze, Chen Yu turned toward Li Liang and observed the latter for a moment . He then shouted, “Bald Li, open the window! It’s too hot inside the room . ”

“Scram!!”

…

In the evening, after the school bell rang, Chen Yu promptly picked up his school bag and walked out of the classroom .

“Chen Yu! W-Wait up!” Xing Biqi called out . Without even tidying up her desk, she simply picked up her bag and chased after Chen Yu .

“What is it?” Chen Yu asked as he turned around .

“C-Chen Yu, my grandparents will be coming home in a few more days . When…” Covering her blushing cheeks, Xing Biqi said, “When will you come to my house?”

“Oh! Right!” Realization dawned on Chen Yu . “I need to go to your house to teach you . ”

“Mhm, mhm . ”

“We’ll be studying physics, is it?”

“Mhm!” Nervously clenching her fists, she asked, “A-Are you free today?”

Folding his arms around his chest, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before he nodded and said, “I guess I’m free . I’ll make a call home first . ”

“Wonderful!” Xing Biqi hugged one of Chen Yu’s arms and shook it in excitement .

At this time, Li Liang just happened to come out of the classroom . Upon seeing this scene, his expression instantly twisted, and he retreated into the classroom with ragged breaths…

“Stop shaking . Let me make my call . ”

After pushing Xing Biqi away, Chen Yu leaned against the corridor and gave his mother a call .

Beep…

“Hello?” After the busy tone continued for some time, Mother Chen’s voice came from the receiver . “Little Yu?”

“It’s me . I’m staying the night at Li Liang’s place . I won’t be heading home, so no need to prepare dinner for me . ”

“You’re going to spend the night outside?” Mother Chen raised her tone .

“Mhm . The finals are coming up soon . Li Liang says he has many topics he doesn’t know, and he’s asked me to teach him,” Chen Yu said, making up a bunch of nonsense . “You know Li Liang and I are close like brothers . I can’t just ignore him . ”

After saying so, Chen Yu quickly stepped into the classroom and grabbed his makeshift club from under his desk . He then approached Li Liang and whispered into the latter’s ears, “Tell my mom I’m going to your house . ”

Li Liang: “…”

“Say it . ” Chen Yu lightly brushed the nails on the club against Li Liang’s face .

Indifferently, Li Liang grabbed the phone and said, “Hello? Aunty? Chen Yu’s going to stay over at my place today . Mhm . Okay, okay . We won’t make trouble . Goodbye, aunty . ”

Disconnecting the call, Li Liang returned the phone to Chen Yu . He then briefly glanced at Xing Biqi before sourly asking, “What are you doing tonight?”

Tap, tap, tap .

In response, Chen Yu raised his club and tapped it against the wall three times .

Li Liang: “…”

“Focus on studying at home . Use your right hand to wield your pen instead of that nonsense . I’m leaving first . Bye-bye . ”

Li Liang: “…”

After leading Xing Biqi out of the school entrance, Chen Yu generously hailed a taxi .

“L-Let’s take the bus . It’s only one yuan,” Xing Biqi weakly said as she stepped back .

“My treat,” Chen Yu said as he hopped into the back seat . After dragging Xing Biqi into the car as well, he said to the driver, “To the front of the train station . ”

“Y-You really know where I live!”

“I told you before that Bald Li mentioned it to me . ”

“But I never told him . ”

“That, I don’t know . ” Chen Yu shrugged .

Roughly ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination .

After paying the taxi fare, Chen Yu got out of the car together with Xing Biqi . He then said, “Lead the way . I only know you live in this area . ”

“Okay . ”

Xing Biqi tightly hugged her bag and led the way, her heart filled with feelings of excitement and anxiety .

Chen Yu quietly followed after the girl, his right hand inserted into his pants pocket .

Inside the pocket, both the High-frequency Lightsaber and Amnesia Rattle were ready to go .

The invisible camera was also on alert mode as it hovered above his head .

He was already prepared to lay his cards on the table .

If the other party really was an agent…

Under Xing Biqi’s lead, the two entered an alley and stopped before the third to last bungalow .

“T-This is my house . ” Lowering her head, Xing Biqi apologized, “Sorry that it’s a bit old . ”

“A bungalow with a yard . Very good . ”

Taking out a key, Xing Biqi unlocked the front door and led Chen Yu into the room .

The house was simple but clean .

The kitchen was especially spotless .

“C-Chen Yu, come in . This is m-my room . ”

“Sure . ”

Although Chen Yu behaved casually, he was actually on high alert as he walked into the girl’s bedroom . His eyes were cautiously observing his surroundings .

After conducting reviews for several months, he deemed that he already had the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with the government . This was especially true after the Type-K Beast Armor’s appearance . Hence, he had agreed to Xing Biqi’s invitation .

If this girl really was a government agent, this proved that he had indeed been discovered already . In that case, he might as well open up and “arm-wrestle” with the government .

However, if the girl before him was utterly ignorant, this proved that his concealment was indeed seamless and impeccable, and even the government was helpless against him .

Taking a seat on a wooden chair, Chen Yu sneered as he mumbled, “Let’s see who’s tougher…”
