The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 279 Provocation
Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Provocation
Regarding Zou Linlin’s sudden tenderness, Ye Chenfeng instinctively felt something was amiss. It was only when he saw the man dressed in sportswear approaching with an aggressive demeanor that Ye Chenfeng finally realized—Zou Linlin was using him as a shield!
"Hello, I am the basketball coach from Tianhai Medical University, my name is Wang Ming. I’m friends with Teacher Zou Linlin." Wang Ming introduced himself very politely and extended his hand to Ye Chenfeng.
As Ye Chenfeng reached out his hand, a faint smile crossed Wang Ming’s lips. Standing well over six feet tall and having trained every day, his strength was several times that of an ordinary person! He wanted to seize this opportunity to teach this ignorant youth a lesson—Zou Linlin was the woman he, Wang Ming, had his eyes on.
Speaking of which, Wang Ming was not only the Tianhai Medical University basketball coach by coincidence. Rumor had it his father was the director of a department in Tianhai, and he had taken the coaching job at Tianhai Medical University entirely for Zou Linlin—knowing her father was the Secretary of the Tianhai Municipal Committee. Securing Zou Linlin would ensure a smooth path for his future. Plus, Zou Linlin was a total beauty! Otherwise, why would Wang Ming settle for being a basketball coach at Tianhai Medical University? After all, his father was a director in Tianhai, and he could barely be considered a spoiled scion.
Wang Ming gripped Ye Chenfeng’s hand and suddenly applied force. He imagined he could already see the guy in front of him, with his pretty boy face, wailing in pain. Internally he cursed: "You think you, a wimp, can compete with me, Wang Ming, for a woman? You really have no idea how high the sky is and how deep the earth is?"
However, as Wang Ming’s grip grew tighter, Ye Chenfeng showed no reaction at all. Instead, Wang Ming felt as if he was holding onto a piece of supremely hard iron, much to his shock.
"What’s the matter? Want to compare grip strength with me?" Ye Chenfeng teased, not waiting for Wang Ming’s response, his own hand tightened slightly.
The strength of Ye Chenfeng was too much for Wang Ming to bear. With only a trace of power, Wang Ming’s face turned deathly pale, his lips tightly pursed, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans formed on his forehead. His hand throbbed painfully, held by Ye Chenfeng; he wanted to scream out loud, but with Zou Linlin present, he had to endure it, he absolutely had to.
Ye Chenfeng wasn’t interested in stooping to the level of trash like Wang Ming. Seeing that Wang Ming’s endurance was nearly at its limit, he released Wang Ming’s hand.
Wang Ming had been stubbornly holding in his frustration. When Ye Chenfeng suddenly let go, the pent-up anger in his belly burst out, "Putt, putt, putt," as he let out three consecutive farts. His face turned beet red, wishing he could sink into a hole—an utter embarrassment, as the sound of the three farts was clear and loud.
Ye Chenfeng pretended to fan his nose and feigned ignorance: "Who lacks such public decency, releasing waste gas in a public place? Right, Coach Wang? Such behavior is very unprofessional."
Wang Ming’s expression flickered uncertainly, but since Ye Chenfeng did not point at him accusingly for the three farts, he could only eat his words in silence, nodding his head with an unsightly expression: "Indeed, releasing waste gas in public places is very uncivilized."
With her arm around Ye Chenfeng’s, Zou Linlin had been holding back her laughter upon hearing Wang Ming’s three audible farts. However, the exchange between Ye Chenfeng and Wang Ming made it impossible for her to contain herself any longer. If she had kept it in, she might have gone mad; instead, she covered her mouth and let out a giggling laugh, "Kikiki~".
Zou Linlin laughed until tears gathered in her eyes, her body pressing forcibly against Ye Chenfeng, her chest continuously pressing against his arm. This caused a surge within Ye Chenfeng, as he thought to himself: "Zou Linlin, can’t you be a little more dignified? You’re a teacher at Tianhai Medical University, after all. Laughing with a man like this at the school gate, people who don’t know any better might think you’re a professional jester!"
Unable to conceal her laughter, Zou Linlin’s giggling made Wang Ming’s face even more unbearable, turning from green to red in embarrassment, his anger rising continuously. Pointing his finger at Ye Chenfeng, he demanded, "Who are you to Linlin? I advise you to stay away from Linlin. She’s not someone you, a lowly toad, could possibly aspire to."
Since Ye Chenfeng was very ordinarily dressed, Wang Ming subconsciously assumed he wasn’t from a wealthy or powerful family. Zou Linlin, the daughter of the esteemed municipal committee secretary—was she someone just anyone could aspire to?
"Coach Wang, weren’t you just the epitome of gentleness before? Why did you suddenly become so irritable? Could it be a split personality?" Ye Chenfeng asked, scornfully curling his lips.
"Wang Ming, who I’m with is none of your business, is it? You keep calling my boyfriend an ugly toad, but I think you’re the biggest toad of them all!" Zou Linlin snapped indignantly, stopping her coy laughter. She knew that if Wang Ming found out about Ye Chenfeng’s identity and saw the incredible things he could do, Wang Ming would surely be scared enough to wet his pants.
Seeing Zou Linlin speak up for Ye Chenfeng, Wang Ming felt his anger burn even more intensely. He cursed to himself, "You shameless woman, I’ve chased you for so long and you never gave me a second glance. And here you are, flirting with a pretty boy right in front of me?"
Then, Wang Ming turned to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Are you even a man? Having a woman speak up for you? If you have the guts, come to the sports hall after lunch for a game of basketball. Whoever loses has to leave Linlin. Do you, a coward, dare to accept the challenge?"
Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders. In his view, Wang Ming was no more than an ant that could be crushed effortlessly. "Is there something wrong with your brain? It seems to me that it’s Linlin herself who just called herself my girlfriend. So, where did this idea of whoever loses has to leave Linlin come from? And look at you, a coach of the Tianhai Medical University basketball team! You’re a complete idiot!" freewёbnoνel.com
"You, you, you..." Wang Ming’s face turned beet red, and for the moment, he didn’t dare to raise a hand against Ye Chenfeng. He had just experienced first-hand the strength of Ye Chenfeng’s grip and had no confidence that he could take him down.
"You spineless piece of trash, I feel sorrow for your parents," Wang Ming fumed internally.
Ye Chenfeng’s expression gradually cooled. In his heart, his parents were his Achilles’ heel. Although Wang Ming hadn’t insulted his parents directly, in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes, someone like Wang Ming had no right to even mention his parents. So, he responded icily, "See you at the gym this afternoon. I’ll make sure you’ll be traumatized by basketball for the rest of your life."
Watching the retreating figures of Ye Chenfeng and Zou Linlin, Wang Ming hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng to suddenly agree. He thought to himself, "Could it be that this guy is actually a skilled basketball player? No way, I must humiliate him. I must show Zou Linlin what kind of man is a real man."
Zou Linlin took Ye Chenfeng to a restaurant near the school. All the way there, Ye Chenfeng kept his arm around her waist. Zou Linlin felt a mix of joy and anger, "Ye Chenfeng, haven’t you hugged enough?"
Ye Chenfeng’s hand, still wrapped around Zou Linlin’s waist, gently caressed her up and down. He said, "Didn’t someone just insist she was my girlfriend? Shouldn’t I, as a boyfriend, fulfill some duties then?"
"However, it seems there isn’t much worth touching on your body. Just a big bag of bones; not very comfortable to hold," Ye Chenfeng added playfully, with a change of tone.
Trying her best to calm her anger, Zou Linlin found herself always at a disadvantage when she was with Ye Chenfeng, "Ye Chenfeng, are you confident you can win against Wang Ming in the basketball game later?"
Ye Chenfeng touched his nose and said with a smile, "Confident? Not at all. I don’t even fully understand the rules of basketball, and I can’t remember when was the last time I played."
"Then why did you agree to Wang Ming’s challenge?" Zou Linlin persisted.
"Well, losing just means leaving you. We’re not really boyfriend and girlfriend, so there’s no loss for me," Ye Chenfeng replied nonchalantly, spreading his hands.
"Ye Chenfeng, you bastard." Zou Linlin was furious. However, she didn’t consider that someone like Ye Chenfeng, with his miraculous abilities, would hardly be troubled by a mere basketball game. Moreover, he had just told Wang Ming, "I’ll make you traumatized by basketball for your entire life," which with that confidence alone was enough to suggest that Ye Chenfeng was certain of victory. Linlin was too worked up by Ye Chenfeng’s teasing to realize this. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote and show your support.
