Chapter 143: The Charm of Acting Cute

In a garden at Pearl High School, four students were sitting on the lawn.

One of the boys stood out in particular. He was quite tall, reaching one hundred and eighty centimeters, and possessed a handsome face capable of driving female fans crazy.

His expression was somewhat cold and stern, with a hidden, icy glint in his eyes that instilled a trace of fear in anyone who looked at him.

This was everyone's first impression of him.

He was Ye Chen, the third young master of the Ye family, the preeminent aristocratic family of Kyoto.

"Chen Dong, I heard you were beaten up by a newly transferred student," Ye Chen said without looking at Chen Dong, flicking a broken blade of grass off his finger.

"That guy can fight really well. I was no match for him, so I suffered a minor setback," Chen Dong replied, glancing at Ye Chen with a somewhat fearful expression.

He knew that this young master Ye had an eccentric and unpredictable temperament.

Therefore, Chen Dong always carefully considered his words before speaking.

"Heh, that fellow dared to lay a hand on you, yet nothing has happened to him. It seems he has some background," Ye Chen said with a light chuckle, a charming smile blooming on his handsome face.

"That guy was arranged to enter by Tang Tianrong," Chen Dong said with lingering resentment and deep reluctance in his heart.

That was the first time he had suffered such humiliation.

"I found out he has some connection with Liu Jingjing. It's very likely that—" Chen Dong glanced at Ye Chen, trailing off halfway through his sentence.

Ye Chen raised his gaze to look at Chen Dong, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: "Of all things, I hate people who speak in half-sentences the most."

Meeting Ye Chen's gaze, Chen Dong hurriedly said, "His relationship with Liu Jingjing is ambiguous. I heard they are boyfriend and girlfriend."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression turned somewhat gloomy, his gaze flickering with chill: "When did you find out?"

"The day before yesterday," Chen Dong replied.

"You knew the day before yesterday, so why are you only telling me now?" Ye Chen asked in an icy tone that sent a chill straight through Chen Dong's heart.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Ye. I promise I won't do it again next time," Chen Dong hurriedly nodded and apologized, feeling tense and, more than anything, terrified.

Every time he was with Ye Chen, he felt an overwhelming pressure, followed closely by terror.

Ye Chen was fickle and capricious, a man whose personality Chen Dong could never quite figure out.

"Alright, I'm not going to scold you, and you don't need to worry," Ye Chen said as he stood up with a slight smile on his face. "Just make sure you speak clearly next time. Don't leave things half-said."

Hearing that Ye Chen was not going to scold him, Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bring your face over here," Ye Chen commanded.

His expression shifting, Chen Dong obediently leaned his face forward.

With a smile still lingering on his face, Ye Chen raised his hand and struck Chen Dong across the face hard.

"Slap, slap, slap..."

Six consecutive blows, each delivered with immense force, made sharp, echoing cracks that sent a shudder through anyone listening.

Chen Dong's face was already burning red, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and he felt as though his teeth had nearly been loosened.

Yet he did not make a single sound, enduring it with all his might.

Pulling out a tissue to wipe his hand, Ye Chen stared straight at Chen Dong and smiled, "Do you think I'm a psycho?"

"No, not at all," Chen Dong shook his head frantically.

"Heh, I know you must be thinking that in your heart, but I don't care," Ye Chen chuckled lightly. "Alright, you can leave now."

"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for showing mercy," Chen Dong offered a word of gratitude before scurrying away as fast as he could.

Even if there was fury in his heart, he dared not show it, for he could not afford to offend this man.

The Kyoto Ye family held immense power, and no one dared to cross them lightly.

He, Chen Dong, was merely the son of a Pearl High School board member; in front of Ye Chen, he was nothing more than an insignificant nobody.

"Heh, this is getting interesting," Ye Chen smiled. "It seems this woman still hasn't given up."

"Young Master Ye, should I have someone take him out?" one of the boys asked.

"There's no need for that just yet. I'd like to see what kind of tricks this woman can pull," Ye Chen waved his hand, a playful tone in his voice. "Since she likes to play games, I'll play along with her."

"Then shall I have someone look into this Yang Fan?" another boy inquired.

"Go ahead and check him out. The man she found to provoke me must have some unique traits," Ye Chen said indifferently. "But no matter who this person is, he won't be able to change her ending. Since she is my woman, she can never run away."

——————————

After afternoon classes and dinner, Liu Jingjing dragged Yang Fan and Tang Xin to the basketball court.

Liu Jingjing wanted to play basketball and insisted on dragging Yang Fan along with her, leaving the latter thoroughly depressed.

With breasts as ample as hers, wasn't this little miss worried they'd pop out while playing basketball?

However, upon arriving at the basketball court, they found it was already occupied.

"I think I'll head back," Yang Fan said, glancing at Liu Jingjing.

"How can there be no space?" Liu Jingjing said with a mischievous giggle. "Heh, just watch me."

With that, Liu Jingjing skipped over toward one of the courts.

"Classmate, would you mind letting this court to us?" Liu Jingjing blinked at the boys currently playing, her voice sweet and soft.

Leveraging her natural talent as an adorable anime-style girl, with innocent, flawless eyes, pouting lips, and a cute, pitiful expression, combined with her petite face, she left the few boys blushing to the ears and utterly embarrassed.

"Pretty please?" Liu Jingjing cooed in a spoiled tone, her voice sweet enough to melt one's bones.

How could those freshman boys resist the entreaties of such a soft and cute girl? With their minds sent spinning, they nodded in agreement.

"Thank you! You guys are the best!" Liu Jingjing said happily.

"Heh, you're welcome. Protecting girls is a duty we guys can't shirk," the freshman boy said with a broad smile. "I'll let you have this court. I'm heading over to the opposite side; our class is playing there."

Just like that, the freshman boys were thoroughly conquered by Liu Jingjing.

Next, Tang Xin, Liu Jingjing, and Yang Fan began playing basketball together.

The two women only practiced shooting hoops, while Yang Fan was relegated to chasing after the ball, feeling thoroughly bored.

The two women, however, were having the time of their lives.

Whenever Liu Jingjing shot the ball, she would give a little hop, causing her full breasts to bounce up and down in rolling waves.

Students gathered all around to watch the "balls."

As for the surrounding gazes, Liu Jingjing didn't care in the least, acting as if they were completely transparent.

"Little brats, clear out right now! Our school team wants this court!"

An arrogant voice rang out. Everyone turned to look and saw a freshman boy shoved hard to the ground, a look of fury on his face.

Standing before the fallen freshman were a group of tall, towering seniors wearing basketball jerseys, their expressions mocking and derisive.

"We were here first! What right do you have to make us leave?" the freshman on the ground demanded angrily.

"Screw your mother," one of the seniors stepped forward and kicked the freshman fiercely, roaring, "Because my fists are bigger than yours!"

The assaulted freshman didn't dare to fight back and was quickly pulled away by his classmates.

After seizing half the court, two of the seniors broke away from the group and walked toward Yang Fan's side.

"Yang Fan, you have to protect me, okay?" Liu Jingjing blinked at Yang Fan, looking quite mischievous.

"Just focus on playing your game," Yang Fan said indifferently.
