Chapter 55: The Master from the Mountains Arrives
After Xu Muyan finished chatting with Wang Haoran, she and Wen Jing returned to the classroom. Meanwhile, Wang Haoran wandered outside for a while before deciding to head back. However, on his way, he encountered a male student.
This student was Zhen Wei, a relative from Wang Haoran’s mother’s side, and by family hierarchy, he was Wang Haoran’s distant cousin. At this moment, Zhen Wei was filthy and emitted a sour, unpleasant odor. Wang Haoran covered his nose and kept his distance.
“Cousin, cousin, you have to help me get revenge!” Zhen Wei exclaimed angrily.
Upon hearing this, Wang Haoran frowned. Zhen Wei often relied on their familial connection to act arrogantly at school, using Wang Haoran’s name. Whenever he encountered someone tough, he would come to Wang Haoran for help. The last time Zhen Wei sought him out was two months ago, and he never bothered to greet him otherwise.
“Who did you mess with this time?” Wang Haoran asked impatiently.
“I don’t know him. He just kicked me out of nowhere and then threw me into a trash can.”
“Why would someone you don’t know hit you? If you don’t tell the truth, then get lost.”
“I’m telling the truth!”
“What does the person who hit you look like?”
“He’s somewhat handsome, but nowhere near as good-looking as you, cousin. He’s about our age but dressed in clothes that look like they’ve been washed countless times, with patches on them. He looks like a migrant worker,” Zhen Wei recalled.
As Wang Haoran listened, he became intrigued. Someone dressed like a migrant worker dared to come here and hit people?
“Did he say anything to you?” Wang Haoran continued to ask.
“He warned me to stay away from Qin Yunhan and not to bother her anymore. Otherwise, he’d beat me every time he saw me. Of course, I wasn’t convinced, so I told him to wait and see, that I’d definitely get my cousin to avenge me,” Zhen Wei complained, spitting as he spoke. “Cousin, do you know what that guy said? He said my cousin is nothing, and if I called you over, he’d beat you too!”
Seeing Wang Haoran’s lack of reaction, Zhen Wei quickly urged, “Cousin, cousin, hurry and gather some people. Let’s go teach him a lesson!”
“You got beaten up for no reason and didn’t think to tell a teacher? What good is telling me? I’m a model student; how could I do such a thing? Get lost!” Wang Haoran said, leaving without looking back.
Damn! This villain aura really attracts hatred! I didn’t do anything, and yet I’ve somehow attracted animosity. The person Zhen Wei mentioned is likely a protagonist. Without knowing the other party’s background, Wang Haoran didn’t want to act rashly. Otherwise, he might suffer the consequences.
After leaving Zhen Wei’s sight, Wang Haoran called Qin Yunhan. About five minutes later, Qin Yunhan hurriedly appeared in front of him.
“I… I was just about to find you… that… that…” Qin Yunhan, having run over, was out of breath and couldn’t speak clearly.
“Don’t rush. Catch your breath and speak slowly.”
“My dad’s bodyguard… he’s here!”
“But didn’t he say he’d arrive in a few days? Why did he come suddenly?”
“My dad did say he’d arrive in a few days. I don’t know why he came early.”
“So, have you met him? Do you know his name?”
“His name is Xiao Yifeng. He’s dressed in rags, looks so rustic, like a country bumpkin. I don’t want someone like him as a bodyguard. You have to help me.”
Xiao Yifeng… Just hearing the name exudes a strong protagonist vibe. Wang Haoran sighed inwardly and said, “I can help you, but I need to understand the situation first. Let me ask you, was it Xiao Yifeng who beat up Zhen Wei?”
Qin Yunhan nodded, “That country bumpkin may look rustic, but he talks big. He said with him protecting me, even the King of Heaven couldn’t harm me.”
“I wasn’t convinced, so I casually said that if he had the ability, he should help me get rid of Zhen Wei, that annoying fly.”
“As a result, without saying a word, he jumped over the fence, kicked Zhen Wei, said something to him, and then threw him into the trash can like a chick.”
At this point, Qin Yunhan felt a bit apologetic, “I know Zhen Wei is your distant cousin. I just said it casually at the time. You won’t be mad, right?”
“Why would I be mad? Zhen Wei is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. He deserves it. If he dares to harass you again, tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson!” Wang Haoran said righteously.
Qin Yunhan wholeheartedly agreed with this. That Zhen Wei, looking so unattractive, actually wanted to pursue her—what a pipe dream! Besides agreeing with Wang Haoran’s view, Qin Yunhan also felt delighted. Zhen Wei was just a fox borrowing the tiger’s might. With Wang Haoran stepping in, Zhen Wei surely wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
[Ding! Qin Yunhan’s favorability towards the host has increased by 10. Current total favorability: 20! (Very Friendly)]
[Ding! The host has altered the plot direction, gaining 200 villain points!]
“By the way, didn’t you say you had a way to prevent Xiao Yifeng from enrolling? How’s that going?” After her delight, Qin Yunhan immediately inquired.
“How was I supposed to know Xiao Yifeng would arrive a few days early? I haven’t done it yet, but don’t worry, I’ll get it done today.”
“Thank you so much.” Qin Yunhan felt relieved.
“Don’t think that solves everything. Even if he can’t enroll, you still can’t shake him off.” Seeing Qin Yunhan’s complacency, Wang Haoran immediately poured cold water on her.
“That makes sense.” Qin Yunhan nodded in agreement but was at a loss for a solution, so she sought Wang Haoran’s advice, “What should I do then?”
“Where do you stay at night?” Wang Haoran didn’t answer directly but asked instead.
“My dad bought a villa near the school for me. I usually stay there.”
“If you don’t want to live under the same roof as Xiao Yifeng, then don’t go back to the villa tonight.”
According to the typical bodyguard plot, to better protect Qin Yunhan, Qin Kai would likely arrange for Xiao Yifeng to live with her. Even if Qin Yunhan disliked Xiao Yifeng, seeing him every day and being saved by him a few times would eventually make her fall for him. At the first sign of this, Wang Haoran naturally wanted to nip it in the bud.
“There’s only me and Zhaozhao living in the villa. How could my dad let a man like Xiao Yifeng move in?” Qin Yunhan’s face was full of disbelief.
Damn! So Qin Yunhan is living with Mu Zhaozhao. This means Mu Zhaozhao is likely another female lead. This makes it even more crucial to stop this!
“Don’t underestimate Xiao Yifeng just because he’s a bodyguard. Since your dad found such a young person to protect you, he must trust him completely. Arranging for Xiao Yifeng to live under the same roof as you is not impossible,” Wang Haoran helped Qin Yunhan sort out her thoughts.
Hearing this, Qin Yunhan couldn’t help but nod, thinking it was highly possible.
“Then where should I stay if not at the villa?” Qin Yunhan suddenly realized a problem.
“Stay somewhere Xiao Yifeng can’t reach,” Wang Haoran said mysteriously.
