Chapter 90 Verbal Engagement

"I am her boyfriend."

After Ye Fei said this sentence, the cafeteria immediately went quiet. Even Zhong Mei was stunned.

"Ye Fei..."

She tried to explain, but he stopped her.

"You..." Lu Xueman originally just wanted to get rid of him. She never thought he was actually her boyfriend! After a short, stunned silence, her eyes narrowed and she sarcastically said, "Handsome boy, did you just come out of a refugee camp in Afghanistan or something? Are you that desperate? You actually like this.. thing? I bet if you saw a pig you’d want to make sweet love to it!"

Lu Xieman's friends sniggered.

Zhong Mei was trembling on the verge of tears with rage. Ye Fei spoke.

"Hey, how did you know I've been to refugee camps in Afghanistan? Anyway, there’s a pig standing in front of me right and I have no interest in it at all. It’s pretty disgusting, actually."

Say what?

Ye Fei’s words stunned the students of the art department.

"Boy! What the fuck are you talking about!? I dare you to say that again!"

"How dare you insult Lu Xueman! You sick of living?!"

"Kick the fool’s brains out! Who does he think he is!?"

Lu Xueman was not only a good student, but had an impressive familial background. Her mother was a university professor and her father owned a real estate company, and Lu Xueman, as their only child, was a typical rich heiress.

Hearing Ye Fei demean Lu Xueman in public, all the boys immediately began shouting back at him, trying to show off in front of her, but none of them really dared to touch Ye Fei. After all, Ye Fei's reputation had spread all over the campus: yesterday he beat up several thugs in the cafeteria all by himself.

Lu Xueman's face turned red. "How... How dare you insult me?"

"I just did, so what? You think you can talk shit about whoever you want but they can’t say anything back? Who do you think you are? Why are you so full of yourself?"

Ye Fei looked at Lu Xueman with thinly veiled disgust. "You think you’re hot stuff? Even if you stood naked in front of me, I wouldn’t want you."

All other conversations in the cafeteria ceased as all eyes focused on Ye Fei and Lu Xueman. None of them knew how sharply his words tore into her heart.

Normally, Lu Xueman only ridiculed other people and was never talked back to. In that moment, she was so angry she couldn't bring herself to speak.

Not far away, Lin Qingwan and Chen Qun were watching Ye Fei’s verbal engagement with Lu Xueman. Chen Qun whispered, "Sister Qingwan, your bodyguard is a bit of a hothead. Don’t you want to stop this before he escalates things?"

"I am his employer, not his mother, all right? What do you want me to do about it?" Lin Qingwan snorted.

She was paying attention from the beginning and clearly knew that Lu Xueman came there deliberately to pick on Zhong Mei. Ye Fei was just standing up to her.

Lin Qingwan had already learned Ye Fei’s character. This seemingly calm and composed young man, in fact, had a very short fuse. If someone dared to provoke him, he would undoubtedly repay them twofold.

Ordinarily, she might have stopped it, but after what happened earlier, she had become very disappointed with the students of Shanghai University.

She was only just adapting to Chinese life after living abroad. She used to think of the school as an immaculate ivory tower, but the campus turned out to be a microcosm of society, with all its filth alongside its good.

Fortunately, there were some very kind students in the school, such as Zhao Hao and Zhong Mei, who made Lin Qingwan a little more comfortable. Seeing Ye Fei scold Lu Xueman, she not only had no intention of stopping it, but felt excited, shouting “Good job!” in her head. Lu Xueman had it coming, but... Zhong Mei was really quite ugly.

Ye Fei did not stop. His gaze passed over every student in the cafeteria.

"You! You! You! And you! What are you? How blind are you? What the hell is wrong you? Laughing at someone else to hide your insecurity? Trampling on other people’s dignity to make up for your own weakness? In my eyes, you people are trash, a waste! You’re a bunch of maggots!"

Every student was stunned. Did he just insult the entire cafeteria on behalf of the ugliest girl in the whole university?

"Did he just call us maggots!?"

"Do you think you’re some hotshot? You’re just a bodyguard. What are you even doing in our university?"

"He’s insulting us for that Jurassic dinosaur! Let's kick his ass and let him know our strength!"

In a flash, Ye Fei became surrounded by a crowd of boys.

He scowled at them contemptuously. "Think you can take me on?"

"Cut the crap. Let's get him, rip his mouth off!" a boy from the art department barked, trying to show off in front of Lu Xueman.
