64: Chapter 64 Don't underestimate a young person's potential

At the entrance of Chang'an University of Arts and Sciences.

A few youthful and beautiful girls were chatting at the school gate.

It was Chen Fan's cousin, Chen Tong, and her three roommates, among whom the most eye-catching was the most beautiful one, Su Mian.

She was wearing a simple, slightly loose, pure cotton white T-shirt, yet one could still catch a glimpse of her stunning silhouette.

Below, she wore a light blue knee-length denim skirt, the hem just covering her knees, revealing a section of fair calves. On her feet were a pair of white sneakers with light pink laces.

With her slightly curly long hair and a somewhat unfocused gaze, she looked extremely lazy and harmless, like a cat that had just woken up.

Male students entering and leaving the campus couldn't help but look at Su Mian.

Even those with girlfriends were no exception, and as a result, when their girlfriends noticed, they were immediately met with a swift, vicious pinch.

"Tongtong, when is Chen Fan coming? It's boiling hot," Zhou Yumeng said, looking up at the glaring sun and unable to resist covering her forehead.

"He should be here soon. He said twenty-something minutes, and it's already been over ten minutes, so let's wait a bit longer."

"Yumeng, what are you rushing for? Look at Mianmian, she's not in a rush~" Zhao Ran also chimed in.

"Huh? What?" Hearing her roommate call her name, Su Mian's eyes immediately cleared up a bit.

"It's nothing. Go back to spacing out."

Su Mian blinked, nodded obediently, and her gaze slowly unfocused again as she continued to stare at the leaves of the plane tree by the roadside.

Just then, a boy, surrounded by several other boys, walked toward the girls holding a bouquet of flowers.

The boy was about 1.75 meters tall, thin, but could be considered handsome and delicate-looking.

He walked up to Su Mian with the flowers, and then, amidst Su Mian's confused gaze, knelt on one knee.

"Su Mian, I like you. Be my girlfriend," the boy said, looking at Su Mian with a sincere expression.

"Say yes to him!" "Say yes to him!" the boys who came with him started jeering.

Su Mian seemed to just realize that someone was confessing to her, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

Before she could say anything, Zhou Yumeng immediately spoke up: "Li Zhe, last time you came to confess, Mianmian clearly rejected you. Why are you still confessing?"

Su Mian immediately nodded and said seriously, "Right, I don't like you. Please don't come again."

"Su Mian, I genuinely like you. I am willing to do anything for you~" The boy took a step forward, held the flowers higher, and his eyes held a hint of earnestness.

"Seriously, are you kidding me?" Chen Tong blocked Su Mian, crossing her arms with an impatient look, "Su Mian already said she doesn't like you. You're still pestering her here—have you no shame?"

Li Zhe's face couldn't hold it together, but he didn't put down the flowers.

"I am sincere—"

"What's the use of being sincere?" Zhou Yumeng rolled her eyes, "Mianmian doesn't like you, so no matter how sincere you are, it's all in vain. Hurry up and leave, don't hold us up while we wait for someone."

The expression on Li Zhe's face stiffened, but he still wouldn't give up: "Su Mian, I genuinely like you. I am willing to do anything for you—"

Just then, a male voice suddenly cut in.

"She already said she doesn't like you. It's pointless to keep pestering her~"

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw a handsome boy, about 1.85 meters tall with a sturdy build, walking toward them.

Chen Fan had just gotten out of the car when he saw a boy confessing to Su Mian. He had been watching from the side, thinking that since Su Mian had rejected him, the person should know when to quit and leave.

He didn't expect this guy to be so thick-skinned, pestering her even after being rejected two or three times.

So he walked up and spoke.

Seeing Chen Fan for the first time, a shadow flashed in Li Zhe's eyes.

Could he be a suitor of Su Mian?

He's so tall; no wonder Su Mian doesn't like me.

As a man, he was unwilling to admit that Chen Fan was better-looking than him.

"Who are you? What business is it of yours that I'm confessing?"

"Me? I'm Su Mian's younger brother."

Hearing Chen Fan say he was Su Mian's younger brother, Chen Tong and the others were stunned, and even Su Mian was taken aback.

She blinked and looked at Chen Fan, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry—when did you become my younger brother?

But Li Zhe didn't notice these details. Upon hearing the word "younger brother," he felt relieved—as long as he wasn't a suitor.

Hearing that Chen Fan was Su Mian's younger brother, Li Zhe's gaze softened slightly, but he still sounded unconvinced: "So what if you're her brother? Even a brother can't stop his sister from dating, right?"

"First of all, dating is about mutual affection. My sister already said she doesn't like you. Continuing to pester her is just making yourself look bad."

"I am sincere—"

Li Zhe hadn't finished speaking before he was interrupted by Chen Fan.

"Secondly, do you think you're worthy of my sister?"

Li Zhe was stunned, the expression on his face freezing.

"What do you mean?"

"Looking at what you're wearing, your family conditions aren't exactly poor, but they're just at the level of an ordinary person. How many years do you think it will take you to afford a house or a car? We usually live in villas and drive cars worth millions when we go out. How many years do you think it will take for you to reach that level?"

Li Zhe's face turned bright red, but he quickly reacted, "Who can't brag? You say millions, so it's millions?"

"Look at that, what is it?"

Chen Fan chuckled and took the Porsche key out of his pocket and pressed it.

The black porsche cayenne not far away beeped once, and the headlights flashed twice.

Li Zhe was stunned and looked toward the sound—the Porsche logo was clearly visible in the sunlight, and the car body was brand new and shiny.

The boys who were jeering also quieted down, their eyes lingering on the car for several seconds.

"This car is a porsche cayenne S, top trim, with a landed price of 1.68 million. Paid in full. The purchase invoice is still in the car. Do you want to see it?"

Chen Fan's tone was flat, but every word hit Li Zhe, making his face turn pale.

Li Zhe opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say a word.

Chen Fan put the key back in his pocket: "There's no problem with pursuing a girl, but you need to know your limits. If someone rejects you, don't pester them. Know when to retreat, and don't make things awkward for everyone."

Li Zhe's hands were clenched tightly, the flower stems almost crushed.

He wanted to say something. He wanted to say, "Being rich is no big deal," he wanted to say, "I am sincere," he wanted to say, "What right do you have to look down on people?"—but every word that came to his lips felt like a joke.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and threw the flowers on the ground.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never look down on a young man who is poor. I may not have money now, but who can say what will happen in the future?"

He stared at Chen Fan, his eyes filled with unwillingness: "Don't think that just because you have money now, you're something great. Sooner or later—"

"That's enough." Chen Fan interrupted him, his tone flat, "Talk to me when you actually have that day."

Li Zhe stood there, his face turning from green to white, and finally turned and left.

After walking a few steps, he looked back at the bouquet of flowers thrown on the ground, bent down to pick them up, and disappeared into the night without looking back.

The few who were jeering also slunk away.

The onlookers, seeing that there was no more excitement, also slowly dispersed.

However, as they walked, they discussed posting today's events to the QQ group and the school forum.

"After Confessing to the School Beauty, Slapped in the Face Publicly by the School Beauty's Brother"

When they were far away, Zhou Yumeng couldn't help but mutter: "Chen Fan, you were a bit too harsh..."

"If I wasn't a bit harsh, he would come to harass Su Mian again next time," Chen Fan said.

In his previous life, there was a boy in his class like this who liked a pretty girl in the class.

He confessed once and was rejected, then continued to confess after a while.

After five or six times, the girl was so harassed that she was afraid when she saw him. It wasn't until the girl found a boyfriend that he finally gave up.

So, what he said just now was both to block trouble for Su Mian and because he genuinely felt that this kind of pestering was meaningless.

It definitely wasn't because Su Mian was beautiful.
