Chapter 117: Can we please have a talk now?

“Hah.” Lu Chen drops the piece of beef in his hand as he asks him, “Repeat that?!” He thought he had heard wrong. No, he wishes that he heard wrong.

“Yeah, apparently some girls are saying that they want to eat you or have a one night stand with you. So frankly, they wish you are a super playboy philanthropist.” Zhang Jian looks really conflicted when he says this. If Lu Chen becomes a playboy philanthropist, they could roam the streets and go crazy. But the problem is he would have competition with his best friend.

Then he adds, "Oh yeah, there are a lot of rumors going with you and Ye Meixiu. But there are also some of the interesting ones."

"Interesting ones?" Lu Chen's anxiety increases.

"Yeah, apparently there's rumors that you had cradled a girl in your arms in front of the school.

Also, there's speculation that you are looking for many girls to fill up the void in your heart."

Lu Chen didn’t want to believe it. He even stops chewing on his food from the amount of shock he received. Those rumors are partially true, but they do not help Lu Chen at all. He knows there's going to be a mob of girls after him. While Lu Chen is thinking of ways to stop this from happening, Zhang Jian eats without worry.

...

When the school had ended, Lu Chen and Feng Meifeng got to work on cleaning the entire classroom. As the two of them worked, a tense and awkward silence loomed in the classroom.

The only thing that can be heard is Lu Chen moving the desk and chairs to their correct place. While Feng Meifeng wipes the chalkboard.

Well, isn’t this awkward. Even though Lu Chen didn't want to talk to Feng Meifeng, it doesn't change the tense air looming around the room. As he finishes cleaning the desk, Lu Chen turns to look at Feng Meifeng. He couldn’t help but laugh as she was standing on her tippy toes, trying to wipe the top of the board. She's even jumping, trying to reach the top. It looks like a little child wanting cookies from the top counter.

Lu Chen sighs as he asks, “Do you need any help with that?” Seeing her jump around like that is just pitiful.

“No, I don’t. And I’m sure that you don’t want to help a vicious gorilla like me. Besides, I am perfectly capable of myself.” Feng Meifeng snarls at him as she continues to try and wipe the top. And it is absolutely not working for her. And her pride wouldn't let Lu Chen help after what he said about her.

This stubborn child. Lu Chen had never seen such a pig-headed girl beside Liu Fei Fei. He walks up to her and takes the scrub out of her hands.

‘Hey!” Feng Meifeng looks at him with surprise at his sudden snatch. But then she glares at him.

“Let me do it. If you keep trying to wipe the top, then I have to stay here forever, watching you jump up and down like a bunny rabbit. And Xiao Lao Shi is going to scold us if we don’t clean it properly.” Lu Chen chuckles, “How about you sweep up the floors?”

“Don’t you order me -”

“Yes, yes. Class monitor, I’m not ordering you around. I’m asking you to do it, please. The quicker we finish this, the quicker we can leave.” Lu Chen couldn’t help but shake his head at how hard headed this girl was. She's ignoring the bigger picture.

When she heard that she could leave quicker, Feng Meifeng immediately worked on sweeping the floor.

With Feng Meifeng working cooperatively with him, Lu Chen starts wiping the board.

The two of them are able to clean the classroom after half an hour.

“Good, it looks like the classroom is all sparkly and new.” Lu Chen wipes the sweat off his face. Feng Meifeng also looks tired from working as well. But the room looks brand new without any dust and dirt.

Lu Chen turns to her, “Now that we got all of this out of the way, Feng Meifeng. Can we please have a talk now?” That’s the reason why he didn't make any fuss when working with her.
