Chapter 2: This Guy Isn't My First Love

  "I... I... I'm dizzy! When did I ever look for a woman? I'm still a vir... uh... no." Zhou Yun almost slipped up. You see, in modern society, being a high school student and still a virgin is extremely embarrassing. So he quickly changed his words to: "We just met today, how can you be so affectionate towards me?"

  Zhou Yun was furious in her heart, this woman indeed wanted to harm herself, and she was deliberately speaking nonsense in front of Xu Xuan!

  "You... you actually don't recognize me!" Wanqing's face was filled with shock, then she turned to Xu Xuan and pointed at Zhou Yun, shouting: "Look, look at him! Is this kind of person worth your love? I was really blind back then, actually falling in love with this heartless man!"

  Alas... No wonder people say that a woman who has lost love is crazy. Zhou Yun is probably going to have bad luck today. No, it should be said that she's already having extremely bad luck.

  Zhou Yun's mouth was agape, his eyes wide with shock. "How can this woman be more ruthless than myself?!" He was speechless, asking the heavens: "My god! Sister, when did you fall in love with me?! How come I didn't feel anything?! Was it necessary to refuse my invitation to go for a ride and then do this to me?!"

  Upon hearing this, Wanqing looked at Zhou Yun with extreme disdain. You still want to feel it? Go die!

  Forcing back her smile, Xu Xuan said cleverly to Zhou Yun: "Hmmm... I guess she's the one you invited back to trick me!!"

  Xu Xuan's words were unclear, and they made everyone mistakenly think that she had promised to be in a relationship with Zhou Yun. Countless sharp gazes shot towards Zhou Yun like lightning, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, as if he was surrounded by a hundred ghosts...

  Zhou Yun saw the misunderstanding getting bigger and bigger, Xu Xuan actually thought that Wan Qing was his matchmaker to get to know her, so he went along with it and admitted: "Right! Right! Everything she said is a lie. I don't know her at all... Uh! Uh!!"

  However, just as Zhou Yun was in a hurry to explain to Xu Xuan, Wan Qing made a stunning move. At this time, Zhou Yun's chattering mouth was tightly covered by a pair of tempting red lips. A mature woman's fragrance passed through her teeth and into his heart.

  Looking at the passionate couple kissing, Xu Xuan couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect them to be so bold, actually kissing openly in front of the school gate.

  The students surrounding the school gate of Qingfu No. 1 Middle School stared at the two embracing, all dumbfounded on the spot, in complete silence. Then, they only saw Yanqing's face flushed with shame, suddenly pushing away Zhou Yun and slapping him in the face.

  "From today on, we're done!" Yuen Qing threw down a harsh sentence, wiping away the lingering crystal at the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and ran off without looking back...with an appearance that seemed to be heartbroken to the extreme.

  At this moment, Xu Xuan blinked her bright eyes and asked weakly: "You... really don't recognize her?"

  At first, she thought Wanqing was a child brought by Zhou Yun to get close to her. But now it seems not the case, dare to ask which boy would invite another girl to kiss him when he just met a girl? Isn't that obviously asking for trouble?!

  "I...I don't know..." Zhou Yun was also stunned. Could it be that he really knew her? Otherwise, why would she recognize him?

  "Hehe, it's really strange." Xǔ Xuān smiled and shrugged her shoulders, the thing that just happened was truly inexplicable...

  Xiao Li saw Wan Qing running over and immediately went forward to ask: "Sister Qing is back? How was it? Is the handsome guy willing to treat us?"

  Because there were too many students watching, Xiaoli was far away and couldn't see the scene of Wanjing and Zhouyun kissing.

  "Someone has already asked the beauty out, do you think he will still invite us?" Xian Qing didn't know why, but after fiercely teasing Zhou Yun, her mood suddenly became extremely pleasant.

  "Really? He didn't even invite you, Qing Jie? What a blind guy! Hey? Qing Jie, why is your lip gloss smudged? Could it be that you met a handsome guy and gave him your first kiss?" Xiao Kui asked curiously.

  "Is that so? The new lip balm is no good, it fades so quickly. Never mind, the handsome guy won't treat us, I, Qing Jie, will! GO! GO! GO!" Not wanting to dwell on this issue, Wan Qing hurriedly shifted everyone's attention. It's best if this group of women didn't know about the kiss, or else who knows how they would mock her. Now that she thinks about it, she regrets it, having impulsively given away her first kiss. What bad luck...

  "Long live Sister Qing!!" A burst of cheers, a group of beautiful white-collar women then walked towards the end of the street...

  "It's all over... I've made a joyful tragedy...". Zhou Yun looked at Xu Xue leaving, and couldn't help but cover his head in regret: "My lifelong reputation is ruined just like that! That woman is really something... Who is that beautiful disaster?! She's even more ruthless than Cai Yue!"

  "Hey... come and see, there's an idiot having a fit." The surrounding students started discussing and pointing at Zhou Yun.

  "Shh... be quiet. I'm worried he'll hear us... He's the head of our school..."

  "Isn't it just his silly appearance?"

  "Shh! You don't want to live anymore!"

  The constant whispers in Zhou Yun's ear were all derogatory words, making him almost want to smash someone with a brick. But the impulsiveness of his youth had long since disappeared. Zhou Yun curled his lip, savoring the aftertaste of Wan Qing's kiss while muttering: "Tsk... never seen a handsome guy get dumped before!"

  Zhou Yun used to be very fierce, and almost no one dared to provoke him. Even now, his residual prestige still exists. As for why? This is a long story, and it has to start from his first love...

  A long, long time ago... Zhou Yun had a very romantic and tragic love story. He was a precocious child who knew how to flirt with girls from primary school onwards. For example, he would take advantage of the girl sitting next to him not paying attention, and secretly touch her hand. Or, he would bend down to pick up an eraser, quietly untying the shoelaces of the beautiful girl.

  An old saying goes: If you don't sweep your own house, how can you sweep the whole world? Everything should start from small things. Now starting with untying shoelaces, in the future you will be able to take off clothes.

  Zhou Yun dreams of becoming a new era man who is good at undressing women. So every day, he tirelessly helps his crush unlace her shoes. He hopes that one day, he can strip his beauty's clothes in the shortest time possible and achieve an unparalleled feat.

  So Zhou Yun started from primary school grade 2, day after day, year after year, helping the little beauty who sat next to him tie her shoelaces.

  Zhou Yun's determination has made his deskmate, Mei Mei, suffer. She often trips over her shoelaces and becomes a laughing stock among her classmates. In the end, she was even nicknamed "Meng Meng", implying that she walks like she's sleepwalking, completely clueless.

  Xiang Ling is a simple and clumsy girl, doing things in a muddled way. Unexpectedly, she has mastered the skill of tying shoelaces, which has become her only expertise. When she discovers that the person who exercises every day is Zhou Yun, Xiang Ling not only doesn't blame him but also specially thanks him.

  Facing such a lovely and cute, kind-hearted little girl. Zhou Yun couldn't help but shout in his heart, Little brother has finally fallen in love! From then on, he and Xiang Ling became a very good pair of boyfriend and girlfriend...

  Unfortunately, good times don't last long. Youth doesn't stay for long either. The intimate behavior of the two innocent children was eventually discovered by their parents. When Xiangling's mother realized that almost every day after school, there was a boy escorting her daughter home. Xiuyuan immediately launched an investigation into Zhou Yun to see what kind of background this boy who had been pestering her daughter had.

  After discovering that Zhou Yun was just the child of an ordinary worker and a notorious troublemaker at school, Xiuyuan immediately forced Xiangling to break off their relationship.

  As a parent, who doesn't want their child to associate with good students? Xiangling is so innocent, Xiuyuan is worried that she will learn bad things from Zhouyun.

  One afternoon, when Zhou Yun sent Xiangling home, Xiuyuan said disdainfully to him: "Trouble you to stay away from my daughter, just with your poor appearance, you are not even worthy of holding my daughter's shoes!"

  Xiū Yuàn as the president and CEO of a large electronics company with assets over 100 million, Zhōu Yún is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat in her eyes.

  Under the banner of considering Xiangling's happiness, Xiuyuan wholeheartedly hopes that her daughter can marry into a wealthy family. If Zhou Yun's academic performance is excellent, she wouldn't mind the two becoming playmates. The problem is that Zhou Yun behaves mischievously in school and his grades can't even reach average level, what qualifications does such a boy have to accompany her daughter?

  Watching Zhou Yun arguing with her non-stop, Xiuyuan was so angry that she slapped him on the face. Then, holding Xiangling who was crying, they disappeared in front of the grand house gate. Zhou Yun, filled with grievances, could only hold back his tears and stood alone at the crossroads, clenching his fists tightly.

  Not long after the incident, Xiangling left Qingfu City and lost contact with Zhou Yun. The seat next to Zhou Yun remained forever empty.

  Days without Xiang Ling by his side, Zhou Yun's will was sinking, and he even learned to skip class. Only because he didn't want to face that empty seat, evoking familiar memories.

  As time passed, Zhou Yun, who had lost interest in studying, gradually began to frequent every game room and often got into fights with hoodlums on the streets, venting his dissatisfaction with life. As he mixed with them, Zhou Yun eventually made a name for himself in Qingfu City...

  Locals have almost all seen this guy fight like a madman. They even secretly gave him a fancy nickname, calling him the Divine Whirlwind! To put it nicely, everyone praises Zhou Yun as the successor of Zhou Botong's old rascal. Awesome! Can fight! But behind his back, they scold him for being brainless. Neurotic! Having mental problems!

  That's why Zhou Yun became a big bully in the school during his junior high school period. He was feared by everyone, and even the older high school students didn't dare to mess with him.

  Zhou Yuntian was born to be mischievous and loved to cause trouble. As parents, they were also worried sick about him. No matter how much they scolded him, he wouldn't listen. If they wanted to hit him... the old couple couldn't bear to do so. Whenever their tone turned slightly harsher, the young lad would run away from home. And once he left, he'd be gone for several days, who knows what kind of trouble he got himself into outside.

  Having no other choice, Zhou Yun's parents could only try their best to accommodate their child. They decided to change their approach and use gentle means to overcome the stubbornness.

  After Zhou Yun's parents used the soft approach, he was still a bit unaccustomed to it. His dad and mom wanted to pout with him, but he could still come at them sideways. Because everyone wasn't being reasonable, they were all afraid of each other in a hard-headed way. But when the two elders gave him an easy way out, Zhou Yun always felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, he was still just a kid, and once the resentment in his heart dissipated, that was the end of it.

  Zhou Yun, under the guidance of open-minded parents, finally turned over a new leaf in his third year of junior high school and stopped causing trouble everywhere. However, his academic performance had already plummeted and he couldn't keep up with the pace.

  Fortunately, Zhou Yun's family economy was not bad. His father was a state-owned enterprise worker with a fixed income every month. His mother used her savings to open a small retail store and could also earn some extra money in her spare time. Supporting Zhou Yun's expensive education was not a problem at all.

  After high school, Zhou Yun, although not fond of studying, became more sensible. He no longer wandered around aimlessly, causing trouble for his family. At the same time, he also had a crush on a girl who made him unable to extricate himself...

  As for who the girl is, I'm sure everyone has some understanding. It's just that he's always been timid and hesitant, so he hasn't taken the first step in pursuing the young lady...

  Zhou Yun still had a clear understanding of himself. Although his family's income was better than that of ordinary low-income citizens, when faced with Xu Xuan, a top-notch person from a prominent family, he was nothing. Even if he worked hard for another lifetime, it was unlikely that he could afford a car in front of their gate.

  If Zhou Yun had extensive knowledge, he might have dared to go forward and exchange with Xu Xuan, getting to know each other. Although Xu Xuan's status was prestigious, her personality was very easy-going. In the school, she was known for being approachable and humble. To exaggerate a bit, that would be welcoming everyone who comes.

  Of course, coming and going without refusal is not without any restrictions. If someone has ulterior motives and intends to gain benefits from it, she will resolutely cut off all ties with them.

  Zhou Yun still didn't dare approach Xu Xuan till now, apart from the fact that they were not on good terms, a big part of the reason was also due to Xiang Ling.

  When he went to high school, although he was no longer as mischievous and fighting everywhere as before, he would still occasionally try his hand at punishing those who didn't know better. Playing truant from school was a common occurrence for him. Anyway, Zhou Yun had no interest in studying, and relatively speaking, he preferred raising descendants...

  I'm just a super loser, a young punk hanging around Qingfu City. Even if I knew Xu Xuan, I wouldn't have the face to talk to her.

  This is also why he dares only to secretly look at Xu Xuan every day, but never dares to go forward and greet her.

  After all, Zhou Yun still felt that he was not worthy of Xu Xuan. Perhaps this was the shadow left by the Xiangling incident.

  "See you this afternoon." Zhou Yun waved his hand in the direction of the bus, then slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed home...
