Chapter 0002: Cold Brow

Haha, Lu Zhong, your skin is really too thick, isn't it? How can you remain indifferent in the face of everyone's ridicule and mockery? I think the walls of my house are not as thick as your skin... A harsh voice came from behind Lu Zhong. He remained expressionless and did not respond to the other person. The speaker was none other than Zhou Xiongfeng, who had followed closely behind.

Lü Chong stopped in his tracks upon hearing the words, only to see Leng Mei standing in the corridor, having called out to him.

I estimate that by the time of the college entrance examination, the heavyweight figure who will be the "last in the rankings" at our school will undoubtedly be him. Haha ... ...

Ling Mei is exceptionally beautiful, with features that are exquisitely refined to the utmost degree. Her eyes, clear as autumn waters, appear remarkably spirited. Her unadorned eyebrows resemble willow leaves, and her delicate, snow-white skin shines and is smooth like milk. Even dressed in a school uniform, her beautiful visage cannot be concealed.

At that moment, a cold voice came from the side: "Lv Zhong, wait a moment!"

Uninterested in these people, Lu Yao stuffed a few books into his backpack and then shouldered the bag as he walked out of the classroom

Moreover, within the frail body of Lü Zhong lies an exceedingly proud heart. He would never accept help from Leng Mei at this moment!

After months of disdain, ridicule, and sarcastic remarks from others, Lu Zhong has come to understand that without strength, he is not qualified to retaliate against these individuals

This is for you

"Leng Mei, what is the matter?" Lu Zhong looked at Leng Mei calmly, somewhat puzzled

Seeing that Lu Chong remained silent, Tan Tianjun let out a slight sigh and said: "Alas, the pressure in the third year of high school is great, but you need not take it to heart. If you can maintain a calm mind, with your abilities, you should be able to perform well in the exams!" After saying this, Tan Tianjun glanced at Lu Chong again and continued: "I have heard from several teachers that you have been lacking sleep lately. Don't stay up too late studying every night. Alas, during this holiday, you should take a good rest for a few days. For you, perhaps resting is the best thing to do!"

Leng Mei gently furrowed her brows, took out a stack of documents from her backpack, and handed it over to Lv Chong, saying: "This is my review material along with some carefully selected exam questions. You might find it helpful to review during the winter break..."

Hehe, I am actually looking forward to the arrival of the college entrance examination, and I am very curious to see if that kid Lu Zhong can break the school's record for the lowest score in history...

... ...

Lü Zhong slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Tan Tianjun without saying a word. Although he was grateful for Tan Tianjun's efforts to protect his dignity, he certainly could not tell him that his soul was injured and his memory was rapidly declining

There are quite a number of people discussing Lü Chong, both men and women

As the two walked to a somewhat secluded area of the campus with their arms around each other's shoulders, Tan Tianjun finally released his hand from Lv Zhong's shoulder and asked with a serious expression: "Lv Zhong, have you been facing any difficulties recently? Is it something you can share with the teacher?"

Lu Zhong glanced at Zhou Xiongfeng without acknowledging the man's mockery, calmly walking past Zhou Xiongfeng with a tranquil and indifferent expression, as if encountering a stranger

Zhou Xiongfeng, however, was unaware that Lü Zhong had been bathed in traditional Chinese medicine and trained in martial arts by his grandfather since childhood, resulting in his physical strength being quite remarkable. Ordinary strong men would find it difficult to contend with him. Recently, due to a mysterious pearl, Lü Zhong's strength had been increasing even more rapidly.

Leng Mei is the most beautiful girl in the entire school. Her demeanor has always been aloof. Even though Lu Chong has been sitting next to her for two years, the total number of words exchanged between them does not exceed one hundred. Lu Chong does not understand what Leng Mei wants to say to him at this moment

As Lu Chong approached, Zhou Xiongfeng smiled slightly, yet his words were filled with the utmost sarcasm and mockery directed at Lu Chong

Lu Chong did not reach out to take the materials, but instead shook his head and politely declined, saying: "Thank you, but I do not need these things at the moment"

Due to the fact that Lu Zhong is the deskmate of the school beauty Leng Mei, Zhou Xiongfeng had a conflict with Lu Zhong since the first year of high school. Although after the third year, Lu Zhong and Leng Mei were no longer deskmates, Zhou Xiongfeng continued to look down on Lu Zhong, occasionally mocking him with cold sarcasm.

In fact, Lu Chong knows that Leng Mei means well, but he understands that what he needs most right now is not review materials. These are truly of no use to him. At present, what Lu Chong needs to do most is to prevent his memory from declining

Damn, this guy is getting stronger and stronger..." Zhou Xiongfeng rubbed his somewhat sore arm and followed suit.

After speaking, Lü Zhong glanced at Leng Mei and walked past her

This individual is not very old, merely in the age range of eighteen to nineteen. He is quite handsome, with a tall stature, dressed in a well-fitted casual outfit; however, there is a considerable air of arrogance on his face

Giggling, that guy Lü Zhong is indeed handsome, but his studies are lacking. Tsk tsk, the more he studies, the more foolish he becomes...

Indeed, this time I only scored 499 points, failing to surpass the threshold of 500 points, and I have dropped by more than 30 points

How dare you, you little brat? You actually ignore me?" Zhou Xiongfeng saw that Lu Chong actually disregarded his mockery, and his expression changed abruptly, his gaze instantly turning cold. He stepped sideways to block Lu Chong's path, obstructing the space above.

Lü Chong's expression did not change; he quietly walked to his seat and put away the exam paper and notification. He had heard such sarcastic remarks countless times over the past few months. Although he inwardly wished to slap each of these people, on the surface, he was able to ignore their mockery and disdain. Thus, he had developed a strong resistance, but he felt somewhat guilty towards his parents.

She stood in the corridor, her face no longer bearing the deliberately maintained coldness. Standing at a height of 1.73 meters, she was not much shorter than Lu Zhong.

As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the teaching building, Lu Zhong saw a young man with a proud expression leaning against the railing of the stairs. He was playing with a very exquisite lighter in his right hand, while holding a cigarette in his left hand, brazenly puffing smoke in the teaching building and disdainfully looking at the books.

Lu Zhong furrowed his brows, reached out and grabbed Zhou Xiongfeng's arm. Instantly, Zhou Xiongfeng felt a tremendous force pushing him aside, while Lu Zhong stepped over his body and ascended the stairs with a "thud thud thud".

Seeing that Lu Chong still did not respond, Tan Tian reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "The teacher won't say much more. You should try to relax and not feel pressured. The teacher believes that you can definitely catch up with your grades..."

As Lu Zhongyi entered the classroom, he faintly heard many people discussing him.

Upon arriving in the classroom, everyone was already in a commotion

"Teacher, I know your kindness. However, I..." Lü Zhong looked complexly at the departing Tan Tianjun, his expression suddenly darkening. After a while, his face finally returned to calm as he turned and walked back to his class

This person, Lv Chong, is also a classmate from the third year, Class One of the Arts stream. His name is Zhou Xiongfeng, and he is a key player on the school's basketball team. Moreover, his academic performance is commendable. His family background is even more distinguished. It can be said that this guy is a true example of a wealthy and handsome individual.

Tan Tianjun was unsure whether his words had any effect as he left amidst Lu Chong's silence

What happened, our talented scholar Lv Chong? Have you been caught by the teacher for criticism again? Hehe, I heard you only scored 499 this time? What a disgrace
