Chapter 13 Old Classmate

Guo Huai, Hao Cheng, and the others discussed the future development of the Niu Ren Tribe (Awesome People Tribe) with great enthusiasm. Tang Yao's bragging became more and more outrageous. He was talking about stepping on the Holy Flame of Light, bombarding the Triumphant Empire, and dominating the world, which made Guo Huai and the others roll their eyes. They hadn't even started yet, and Tang Yao was already thinking about dominating the world.

Nie Yan smiled. Tang Yao was just like that, but his optimistic personality was quite endearing.

As they were chatting happily, a slender beauty with enchanting eyebrows and eyes walked towards them. Her skin was as white as jade, and a cheongsam perfectly accentuated her charming style. This person was their junior high school class monitor, named Shen Yue. She was undoubtedly the class flower in junior high school, and at least a dozen people in the class had a crush on her. Guo Huai, one of the five of them, was one of them.

"Yo, Class Monitor Shen, what brings you here?" Zhao Li looked up at Shen Yue, who was approaching, and said with a smile.

Guo Huai had been fine just now, but as soon as Shen Yue arrived, his face turned red, and his movements became restrained. Nie Yan and the others smiled knowingly. Nie Yan understood that the feeling of having a crush in junior high school was the most memorable.

"You five are hiding in this corner chatting, making it hard for us to find you. There are at least thirty classmates over there, and you're not going to chat with them? Our girls are getting impatient. Nie Yan, you've grown taller, and Guo Huai, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" Shen Yue asked with concern.

"Everyone's gathering, and we ran into the beautiful Class Monitor Shen. He's happy and had a few drinks," Nie Yan and the others replied in unison. At this time, how could they let their buddy lose face?

Guo Huai gave Nie Yan and the others a grateful look. This was what friends were for. They might laugh at you and belittle you in private, but when something happened, they would definitely help you cover up and carry you through. If they encountered enemies, they would also grab a brick and fight them.

The friendship between their group of people was basically forged through fighting.

"Guo Huai, drink less alcohol," Shen Yue said with a slightly reproachful tone.

"Okay, I'll pay attention," Guo Huai replied readily, feeling flustered.

"Come over quickly. The gathering is about to begin. Everyone should get together now. Many people have to go to work in the afternoon," Shen Yue said. Although they were still high school students, they also worked part-time, so they didn't have much free time.

Nie Yan stood up and said, "Let's go over."

"Okay."

Guo Huai and the others also stood up.

"Nie Yan, if those women pester me later, you have to block them for me," Zhao Li said with a wry smile.

"I can't do that. You'll have to deal with it yourself. Who told you to be so popular?" Nie Yan said with a chuckle. When they were in junior high school, there were quite a few bold girls, and even someone like Zhao Li couldn't handle their boldness.

"Nie Yan, you can't abandon me."

"Don't be so ungrateful. The rest of us want that kind of luck but don't have it," Nie Yan said with a smile.

The group chatted as they walked towards the gathering place. In the past, their small group of five was simply together because they had a good relationship. But now, something had changed. Nie Yan had faintly become the center of this small group.

They were surprised to find that, unlike in junior high school, Nie Yan's aura had completely changed. He could easily influence the opinions of those around him, and they began to pay attention to Nie Yan's opinions and decisions. In junior high school, although Nie Yan was also a decisive person, he often didn't express his opinions.

After more than ten years, Nie Yan's impression of his junior high school classmates had long faded. He could only remember some people after being introduced. However, being well-versed in social situations, he handled things calmly and naturally.

These junior high school classmates were also surprised to find that Nie Yan was completely different from before. In the past, he was thin, excelled in academics, and had a fairly cheerful personality, but he often immersed himself in his own world and didn't interact with his classmates. Now, Nie Yan was much stronger, and they could faintly see his muscles, which made some bold female classmates' eyes sparkle. Moreover, he spoke freely and had a completely different temperament.

The stark contrast made Guo Huai and the others look at Nie Yan with new respect. They thought that Nie Yan was really different from before. Thinking about establishing a guild, it might really be possible.

"Hey, Guo Huai, long time no see." A male classmate wearing a white tracksuit, with a strong build and somewhat handsome features, walked towards Nie Yan and the others with a glass of orange juice.

Seeing this person, a gloomy look flashed in Guo Huai's eyes.

Nie Yan found this person vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember his name.

"Who is he?" Nie Yan asked Tang Yao in a low voice.

"You don't even recognize him? Eleventh class, named Chu Zhenfei, from the basketball team. It's said that he's also practiced Thai boxing. He's Shen Yue's suitor. When he heard the news that our class was having a reunion, he came along to join in the fun," Tang Yao said in Nie Yan's ear.

Nie Yan suddenly remembered that something like that had happened when he attended the reunion in his previous life. Chu Zhenfei's family seemed to own a car dealership. Although he was rich, he was far behind Guo Huai. It was just that Guo Huai didn't usually show off.

Chu Zhenfei didn't know where he found out that Guo Huai liked Shen Yue, and he also found out that Guo Huai had been allergic to orange juice since he was a child. So, he tried to embarrass Guo Huai at the class reunion by offering him a glass of orange juice.

Guo Huai didn't say anything at the time. In order to not lose face in front of Shen Yue, he drank it. He became seriously ill that day and lay in the hospital for two days. However, Guo Huai wasn't the kind of person to swallow his anger. He didn't let Chu Zhenfei off easily either. Later, when Guo Huai came out of the hospital, Chu Zhenfei was ambushed by him and his men, and he was beaten so badly that he lay in the hospital for two months. Afterwards, Chu Zhenfei's family didn't dare to say a word. From then on, Chu Zhenfei was completely frightened. He would walk around Guo Huai whenever he saw him. A dog that bites doesn't bark. Guo Huai usually seemed silent and honest, but that didn't mean he was easy to bully. If he became ruthless, everyone would be afraid of him.

Nie Yan admired Guo Huai's character. Back then, he was forced into ruin by Cao Xu, and his parents died, which caused a great blow to Nie Yan. Logically speaking, Cao Xu would not have let Nie Yan go in that situation. Nie Yan endured it at the time and began to lie low, pretending to be unmotivated, drinking every day, and frequenting bars, paralyzing Cao Xu's defenses. Finally, he turned around and bit Cao Xu, killing him with one shot.

Being able to endure at critical moments, find the right opportunity to counterattack, and kill with one blow, that was what a hegemon would do!

Nie Yan, Hao Cheng, and the others didn't know that Guo Huai was allergic to orange juice. They only knew that he didn't usually drink orange juice. If they knew that Guo Huai was allergic to orange juice and that Chu Zhenfei was there to embarrass Guo Huai, let alone Nie Yan, Hao Cheng and the others wouldn't stand idly by.

Hao Cheng and the others saw Chu Zhenfei and looked unfriendly, preparing to take action when appropriate.

"Guo Huai, we had some conflicts in the past. Now that we've all graduated, let's forget about the past grievances. I'm here to apologize today. I'll toast you with this cup. Drinking alcohol is harmful to your health, so I'll replace it with orange juice," Chu Zhenfei said, pretending to be sincere.

"Yes, drink less alcohol. Orange juice and other drinks are fine," Shen Yue said. She knew that Chu Zhenfei had feelings for her, and so did Guo Huai. She was worried that there would be a conflict. She didn't expect Chu Zhenfei to apologize to Guo Huai. She was a little surprised and had a slightly better impression of Chu Zhenfei.

"Chu Zhenfei, are you sure you want me to drink this cup of orange juice?" Guo Huai stared at Chu Zhenfei, his face gloomy.

Looking into Guo Huai's eyes, Chu Zhenfei suddenly felt a chill, but he still refused to lose his momentum, saying, "I'm sincerely apologizing to you. I don't want us to still be thinking about those unpleasant things from the past after we graduate."

"Guo Huai, since Chu Zhenfei has apologized, let's let bygones be bygones," Shen Yue said to Guo Huai from the side. In her heart, she still had a little affection for Guo Huai. In her impression, Guo Huai was a very gentle person.

Nie Yan saw everything in his eyes. Guo Huai was still just a high school student and was too naive when it came to dealing with feelings. In order not to ruin his good impression in Shen Yue's eyes, he wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll drink it," Guo Huai reached out to take the orange juice from Chu Zhenfei's hand.

Nie Yan stepped forward, blocked Guo Huai's hand, took the orange juice from Chu Zhenfei's hand, and said with a relaxed smile, "I'll drink this cup of orange juice for Guo Huai. You know that Guo Huai is allergic to orange juice, but you still want him to drink it. That's not very kind, is it?"

"Damn, what's it to you?" Chu Zhenfei didn't expect someone to interfere halfway and cursed.

"Guo Huai, is that true?" Shen Yue looked at Guo Huai blankly.

"Of course, Guo Huai has been allergic to orange juice since he was a child," Nie Yan said.

Shen Yue wasn't stupid. She thought about it for a moment and understood. She stomped her foot and said, "Guo Huai, why are you so stupid? If you can't drink orange juice, then don't drink it." She turned to look at Chu Zhenfei and said coldly, "Chu Zhenfei, you're not welcome here. Leave."

"Fuck your mother!" Chu Zhenfei originally wanted to make fun of Guo Huai, but he didn't expect it to backfire. So, he became angry and blamed everything on Nie Yan, kicking Nie Yan. Chu Zhenfei was so big, the force of his kick was quite terrifying.

Hao Cheng and the others saw Chu Zhenfei make a move and stood up, preparing to beat Chu Zhenfei, but a shocking scene happened.

Nie Yan sidestepped, dodging Chu Zhenfei, and then spun around and kicked Chu Zhenfei in the chest. Chu Zhenfei was kicked and his huge body flew out, smashing into the wine table. With a bang, the wine table was smashed in half by Chu Zhenfei's body, and the cups and plates were in a mess.

Everyone was stunned.

"Damn!" Hao Cheng was startled by Nie Yan. With Chu Zhenfei's weight, he was actually kicked and flew out. How much leg strength did that take! He knew it best as someone who practiced Sanda!
