19 Yan Zhen, the Scumbag
Rewinding time slightly…
Yan Zhen woke up from his dream and saw a red dot flashing on his communication talisman. It was a message from Instructor Yu Xuan, reminding him about the entrance ceremony and not to be late.
After quickly washing up, he heard a knock on the door and Huangfu Wenqing’s voice: “Yan Zhen, wake up!”
Yan Zhen quickly got dressed and opened the door, greeting his fiancée waiting outside. “Morning, Wenqing.”
Huangfu Wenqing smiled sweetly, smoothing down his messy hair. “It’s time for the entrance ceremony. Let’s go together.”
Yan Zhen nodded and left the dormitory with his fiancée, heading towards the ceremony hall.
The hall was already crowded when they arrived. Yan Zhen took out his communication talisman, followed Instructor Yu Xuan’s instructions, and led Huangfu Wenqing to their seats.
Huangfu Wenqing actually wanted to be alone with Yan Zhen, but she couldn’t stop him from going to Instructor Yu Xuan and the other four girls. She simply followed, holding his arm possessively, acting like a devoted fiancée and attracting the attention of many students.
Although Huangfu Wenqing was only a B-cup, her beauty and elegant demeanor made her stand out, even among the Outer Academy’s belles. Yan Zhen was also a handsome young man, exuding a warm and gentle aura. Together, they made a striking couple.
“Cousin, over here~”
“Little Brother Yan Zhen, we saved you seats~”
Yan Meng’er stood on tiptoe, waving her arms, and Mi Xue’er also called out excitedly.
Yan Zhen spotted them and quickly walked over with Huangfu Wenqing, joining the four girls.
However, Instructor Yu Xuan didn’t seem to be there.
“Where’s Instructor?”
Yan Ruyu explained, “Instructor isn’t an Outer Academy student or instructor, so she can only observe from the side.”
Xiao Xinyan pointed towards the front right. “She’s over there.”
Yan Zhen looked over and saw Instructor Yu Xuan standing with Head Instructor Shui Bailan, the two of them whispering to each other.
Instructor Yu Xuan noticed Yan Zhen’s gaze, waved at him, and then sent him a message.
[Cool Summer Night, Daylily After Rain: Representatives from the four districts will be going on stage later. You’re the representative for the East District. Don’t be too nervous~]
[Yan of Fire, Zhen of Innocence: Why me? Shouldn’t it be Wenqing?]
[Cool Summer Night, Daylily After Rain: Wenqing said she wants you to go.]
[Yan of Fire, Zhen of Innocence: ???]
Yan Zhen turned to Huangfu Wenqing, who gave him a mischievous smile.
“…”
Yan Zhen didn’t refuse. In the script, there was indeed a segment where the new student representatives went on stage to receive awards. They were given a bottle of Large Origin Pills as encouragement. Nothing special.
However, after the ceremony, someone from the West District would say something provocative, but Yan Zhen would ignore them, not considering them as rivals.
Beautiful Master had said that he was now capable of fighting above his realm. His opponents should be Mystic Generals, not mere Mystic Masters.
“Cousin, come sit down. The ceremony is about to begin.”
“The seat in the middle is for you.”
Yan Meng’er and Mi Xue’er pulled Yan Zhen to the seat between them. Huangfu Wenqing looked around, frowning. “Where do I sit?”
“Ahem, sorry, we only saved a seat for Cousin.”
“That’s right, Miss Huangfu. You’ll have to find another seat.”
The two girls looked smug. Huangfu Wenqing narrowed her eyes, scanned the surroundings, then her gaze fell on Yan Zhen’s lap, and she blushed.
—This is so embarrassing in public, but I can’t lose to them!
Huangfu Wenqing mustered her courage, walked to Yan Zhen, turned around, and sat on his lap.
Yan Zhen was stunned. Yan Meng’er and Mi Xue’er stared at them with wide eyes. Yan Ruyu and Xiao Xinyan blushed along with Huangfu Wenqing, and the surrounding students gave them strange looks.
Yan Zhen felt awkward. “Wenqing, this isn’t very appropriate…”
Huangfu Wenqing’s face was crimson. “There are… no other seats. I have to make do.”
Yan Meng’er blinked her lively eyes and said, “Well, Huangfu, for Cousin’s sake, I’ll give you my seat~”
Her tone was unusually friendly!
Huangfu Wenqing snorted haughtily. “No need. I’m comfortable here!”
Yan Meng’er pouted, clearly jealous.
Mi Xue’er also said sourly, “Miss Huangfu, you’re crushing Little Brother Yan Zhen. He’ll be uncomfortable, and he has to go on stage as the new student representative later.”
Huangfu Wenqing said indifferently, “I’ll get up when he goes on stage and be his chair when he returns.”
The two girls were stunned. She even planned for that?
—Damn it, why didn’t I think of that!
Yan Meng’er and Mi Xue’er were dejected, practically radiating defeat.
Yan Ruyu and Xiao Xinyan remained silent, pretending not to know them. How embarrassing!
Yan Zhen sighed and put his arms around his fiancée’s waist, looking towards the stage over her shoulder.
The time had come, and the entrance ceremony officially began. Dean Yu Qing, wearing her formal robes, walked onto the stage with a serious expression and began her speech, using the standard leadership opening: “I’ll just say a few words…”
Yan Zhen leaned back in his seat, bored, and adjusted his position, holding Huangfu Wenqing so she was half-lying against his chest.
On stage, Shui Bailan’s attention was constantly on Yan Zhen and the girl beside him. Seeing this scene, her expression darkened slightly, but maintaining her composure, she asked, “Is the girl sitting on Yan Zhen’s lap Huangfu Wenqing, the top-ranked new student from the East District? What’s their relationship?”
Instructor Yu Xuan’s head throbbed, knowing she couldn’t hide it any longer. She said with a forced smile, “Miss Wenqing is Yan Zhen’s fiancée.”
Fiancée? Shui Bailan’s eyes widened in disbelief, then she lowered her voice. “You… you knew?”
Instructor Yu Xuan nodded weakly.
Shui Bailan’s face turned red with anger, her ample bosom heaving.
Dean Yu Qing was equally furious. She even stumbled over her speech, glaring at Yan Zhen.
—This womanizer, does he think my Xuan’er is easy to bully, openly displaying such intimacy with another girl in public? How dare he!
Besides the two Yu family members, Zi Xunyi, hidden in the shadows, was also stunned.
Wasn’t this Yan Zhen supposed to be practically a member of the Yu family? Why was he so close to another girl? And not just the one on his lap, the other two beside him also seemed to have a close relationship with him.
Wasn’t this the typical behavior of a scumbag?!
For some reason, Zi Xunyi felt a pang of sadness, unwilling to believe that Yan Zhen was such a despicable person.
He had been so gentle in her dream…
