Chapter 1364: Chapter 1269: How Dare You Bully Your Benefactor
"Ripples, I know this bouquet isn’t worthy of someone as wonderful as you, but my feelings are in it. I hope you can understand!"
Seeing the hesitation on Zhang Lianyi’s face, Mei Tianxun showed a hopeful smile, bright as the sun.
He had thought that a shy girl like Zhang Lianyi would normally hesitate a bit and then take the flowers.
But today, Mei Tianxun miscalculated.
The hesitation on Zhang Lianyi’s face vanished. She shook her head firmly and said, "Mei Tianxun, thank you for the flowers, but I don’t need them."
"Uh..."
The smile on Mei Tianxun’s face froze.
He quickly calmed down again, but rage flickered in his eyes as he said unwillingly, "Ripples, this bouquet doesn’t represent me chasing you. I just think flowers go with a beauty, I purely wanted to give them to you, that’s all!"
"I don’t want them." Zhang Lianyi still shook her head.
"But..." Mei Tianxun was a little anxious. With so many people watching, he couldn’t even give a bouquet away. Wouldn’t that be humiliating?
"Mei Tianxun, I know what you’re thinking, but I can tell you bluntly, we’re not suitable."
Zhang Lianyi said seriously, "Besides, there’s already someone in my heart."
As she said this, she lifted her eyelids and secretly glanced at Qin Hao beside her, happiness rippling at the corners of her mouth.
Her expression stabbed deep into Mei Tianxun’s heart.
For a moment, Mei Tianxun wanted to smash the flowers on the ground.
But he didn’t do it.
He just forcefully held back his anger, held the bouquet in his hands, and put on a gentlemanly smile. "So that’s how it is. But Ripples, I still have a shot, don’t I? I’m not the kind of guy who gives up halfway."
"Whether you have someone you like or not doesn’t matter. What matters is, I know I like you. In this life, unless I’m with you, I don’t want anyone. Just you wait, Ripples, I’ll win you over with my gentleness and care!"
Like issuing a battle challenge, Mei Tianxun said warmly, his face full of gentleness.
Not far away, many fangirl types who secretly had a crush on Mei Tianxun started screaming.
"Wow! What a romantic confession!"
"It looks like a challenge, but in fact it’s a declaration of determination! Senior Mei is amazing!"
"If Senior Mei said that to me, I’d definitely dump my boyfriend!"
"But that Zhang Lianyi is really something, even refuses such a deeply affectionate Senior Mei!"
"Could it be the one she likes is this guy next to her? He’s kinda handsome, but is he richer than Senior Mei?"
Sure enough, instinctively, Qin Hao was dragged out and compared to Mei Tianxun.
The final result, without a doubt, was Mei Tianxun’s victory.
"Mei Tianxun, please stop saying these things that only add to my troubles."
Surprisingly, Mei Tianxun’s confession did not move Zhang Lianyi at all.
She said very seriously, "We’re just not suitable, and that’s that. What you call stubborn pestering will only ruin your image in my heart. Please don’t come to confess to me again in the future."
"Ripples..."
Mei Tianxun’s expression turned rather ugly.
"Don’t call me Ripples. Please call me Zhang Tongxue." Zhang Lianyi said with great seriousness.
Actually, if it were someone else, Zhang Lianyi wouldn’t be this cold.
But she had heard a bit about Mei Tianxun’s "deeds."
One of the department belles who got slept with and then dumped by Mei Tianxun had once been Zhang Lianyi’s short-term roommate.
She really sympathized with that roommate’s experience, so her impression of Mei Tianxun was extremely bad.
Mei Tianxun only felt his cheeks burning.
Getting your warm face pressed up against a cold ass was one thing.
But that ass didn’t even let him press it, and the words coming out of its mouth were that harsh.
On top of that, all the nearby students’ gazes were so piercing.
Bang!
Enraged, Mei Tianxun smashed the bouquet onto the ground.
Petals scattered all over, and Mei Tianxun started trembling with rage.
He raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to slap Zhang Lianyi. But he snapped out of it very quickly.
If this slap actually landed, wouldn’t my gentleman persona be ruined?
So his hand smoothly went upward instead, raking through his hair. With a cold look, he said, "Zhang Lianyi, the reason you’re treating me so coldly is because of this stray man, isn’t it?"
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Hao, his gaze full of threat.
"Please show some respect to this gentleman." Zhang Lianyi was angry too, her tone full of displeasure.
"You’re snapping at me because of this stray man?"
Mei Tianxun couldn’t believe it and was even more furious.
Now, he finally found the reason.
It was precisely because of this stray man that Zhang Lianyi was treating him this way!
Thinking of this, he glared at Qin Hao and shouted angrily, "You little bastard! Are you a pussy or what? Hiding behind a woman—can’t you man up and say something to me like a real man?"
Zhang Lianyi clenched her fists, just about to speak.
Qin Hao’s hand went around her shoulders.
Zhang Lianyi turned her head back and said apologetically, "Sir, I’m sorry..."
"It’s fine."
Qin Hao said coolly, signaling her with his eyes not to worry. He pulled her behind him, then looked at Mei Tianxun, his face full of amusement.
"You little bastard! What the hell are you looking at! Want me to dig your eyes out?"
In his rage, Mei Tianxun had completely lost his mind, his expression twisted.
"You really can’t hold it together, can you?" Qin Hao said with a playful smile.
"I can’t hold your fucking mother together!"
Mei Tianxun exploded in curses and shouted, "Dare to steal the woman I’ve set my eyes on—do you even know who I am? Or do you want to leave Dongyang University today with a broken leg?"
Qin Hao laughed, laughing especially happily, as if he’d just heard a joke.
"Laugh my ass!"
With a roar, Mei Tianxun swung a slap straight at Qin Hao’s face.
Smack!
A crisp slap rang out.
But the one who got slapped wasn’t Qin Hao—it was Mei Tianxun!
Nobody knew when, but a bright red palm print had appeared on his cheek.
His body had been sent flying, and when he hit the ground, he started coughing violently, "Cough, cough, cough!"
"I actually got slapped by this little bastard?"
His cheek hurt like hell, but it still couldn’t compare to the shock and fury in Mei Tianxun’s heart.
"Fuck your mother!"
Mei Tianxun screamed, trying to get up.
Whoosh!
A dark shadow flashed by, landing a kick squarely on his chest.
Bang!
Mei Tianxun’s back slammed into the ground, the pain almost shattering his entire body.
The impact left him in such agony that he had no strength left to get up again.
"Young man, what era do you think this is? Stop trying to act like some triad punk."
Mei Tianxun’s mind was still fuzzy when he heard a voice from above his head.
He lifted his head and saw Qin Hao leading Zhang Lianyi toward the campus gate.
"Don’t you..."
Mei Tianxun felt his dignity crushed to dust. He tried to open his mouth and shout, but just after getting one word out, his right leg suddenly exploded with pain.
Looking closely, he saw a high-heeled shoe heel pressing down hard on his thigh, grinding viciously—and even twisting!
"Ah!"
Mei Tianxun screamed in agony, rolling around on the ground nonstop.
After the pain came a voice, a furious female voice: "That’s what you get for bullying my benefactor..."
