Chapter Eighty-One: Change of Flavor

  Luo Hui was stunned, he often showed off his identity in front of Leng Bing Xue, but it turned out that the other person's identity was a hundred times more dazzling than his own. It felt like a millionaire showing off his wealth everywhere, only to find out later that the object of his show-off was actually a super-rich tycoon with assets beyond measure, and his emotions were so complicated that they couldn't be put into words.

  Sun Zhengfei was already scared stiff, if he had known earlier about Leng Binghan's identity, even if he were given a hundred leopard gallbladders, he wouldn't have dared to provoke him. And yet, he still went to find Leng Zhenglin to help him regain face. Asking his elder brother to deal with his younger brother was truly ridiculous, did he think that Leng would let him off easily after stirring up trouble?

  However, he also reacted quickly, with a flattering smile all over his face. He hastily ran to Leng Bing Han's side, not daring to hold Leng Bing Han's hand, so he held Luo Hui's hand instead. With a nearly laughable tone, he said: "Ah, it turns out the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, causing a misunderstanding. Xiao Han, Xiao Hui, I'm really sorry, it was my fault, and I apologize to both of you. It's such a shame, tomorrow at noon is still the same place, I'll treat you guys, let's not hold grudges, right? Consider this as me making amends to you two brothers, please do me the favor."

  Looks like Sun Zhengfei is quite slick, able to talk smoothly and take advantage of opportunities to get close. People like this, whether you like them or not, can't be denied, they're very adaptable and have a strong ability to seize the moment.

  Leng Zhenglin, who was beside him, also gave Luo Hui a signal and whispered to him: "Luo Baozi, help me say something. I will remember this favor and return it to you in the future."

  "Does your friend still want you?" The voice was low and cold, but he still heard it. He had a somewhat resentful attitude, resentfully glancing at him.

  Leng Zhenglin stuck out his tongue and smiled awkwardly: "With you, it's enough, but aren't we sworn brothers? When you're not busy, I'll help you cover for him, Luo Baozi, isn't that right? Hehe."

  Luohui was already dizzy and couldn't react to what he said, only smiling foolishly.

  To this second brother of mine, it's cold and icy, making me both angry and hateful.

  Second brother Lin Da is seven years older than me. In our previous life, when my eldest brother Lin Xiang was in college, I was still young and almost became a little tail behind second brother, following him everywhere to play. Second brother was also very good to me, always protecting me. Later, when I attended high school at Changfu No. 1 Middle School, second brother, who was already working at the bank, would often give me money, fearing that I wouldn't have enough to spend.

  How can I be angry with such a brother? Besides, he didn't do anything that would harm the sky or reason. It's just the psychology of 17-18 year old boys who like to show off and are vain, which I also experienced during my own youth rebellion.

  "These things, I won't mention them again after we go back. Anyway, it's your business, I don't want to interfere, but this is in school, you'd better be careful not to lose face for old dad." Leng Bing Han said while leading Xiao Wei out of the classroom, with Luo Hui following behind him.

  When he walked out of the classroom, there was a commotion in the classroom. Whether it was the students in the class or the cadres who followed Leng Zhelin, everyone couldn't help but discuss what had just happened and Leng Yihan's identity. Leng Yihan stopped in his tracks and suddenly turned around, and in an instant, the entire classroom fell silent again. His gaze seemed to be the sharpest sword, making everyone involuntarily quiet down.

  He turned around to face Leng Zhenglin and Sun Zhengfei, staring at them for over half a minute before saying: "From now on, don't come to harass or bully our classmates again, or I won't show mercy." Before leaving, he still gave his second brother the promise he had been expecting, but also put forward a corresponding condition. With this condition, Leng Binghan's class, Class 1 of Grade 7, can be said to be a haven in the school, and will no longer be subject to such harassment.

  This is not to say that the environment and atmosphere of a middle school are bad, but in any school, students inevitably have all sorts of conflicts with each other for various reasons. Perhaps from the perspective of teachers and adults, it may seem extremely immature and childish, but who hasn't gone through adolescence?

  After seeing Leng Bing Xue walk away, Sun Zheng Fei carefully lowered his head and said to Leng Zheng Lin: "Lin Ge, can Xiao Han really keep this a secret? Otherwise, I'll be in trouble." He was also worried that if Mayor Leng found out about this, he would get into trouble with his own father.

  "What he says won't change." Leng Zhenglin looked at his younger brother's departing figure, feeling a sense of emotion: This little brother is not at all frivolous like other children of this age group, but instead is as calm and steady as a mountain. It really makes me, as an older brother, feel ashamed. Fortunately, he still knows how to fight and has a bit of a impulsive personality; otherwise, he would be just like the Bodhisattva in the temple.

  He thought for a moment, then kicked Sun Zhengfei, not too hard or too soft, and scolded: "You're really a pig's brain, why did you have to provoke my brother? He's the apple of our family's eye. If anything happens to him, this kid is dead meat. I'm warning you, he's a man of his word. From now on, stay away from this class and don't cause any more trouble. Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you, I'll be the first one to deal with you."

  Sun Zhengfei was not angry but delighted, Lin Ge did this at least to forgive himself, otherwise he would still be good? However, in his heart, he secretly congratulated himself that it was fortunate that he only complained to Lin Ge and didn't tell him about wanting to smash the bottle on Leng Bingxue's head, or else Lin Ge would have skinned him alive.

  On the way back, Luo Hui seemed a bit strange, hanging his head, completely losing his usual spirit.

  Leng Bing Han didn't know what he was thinking about, so she smiled slightly and patted his shoulder lightly, saying: "What's wrong, fatty, are you still blaming me?"

  Luohui's eyes lit up for a moment, but seemed to think of something again, and said dejectedly: "How could I, if my old man knew that you and I were not on good terms, wouldn't he beat me to death?"

  "You and I are friends, this has nothing to do with your dad or my dad, right?" Leng Bing coldly smiled: "When you decided to run back and accompany me in getting scolded together, it wasn't because I'm the mayor's son, was it?"

  "Of course, that's what friends are for!" Luo Hui shook his chubby face and said hastily: "I didn't know you were the mayor's son."

  "Aren't you already married? What does it have to do with me being someone's son and us being friends? You didn't ask before, and I didn't want to use this identity to get anything from you, so I didn't tell you. It wasn't that I wanted to deceive you."

  Luo Hui stopped and looked at Leng Bing coldly, asking very seriously: "You're not making fun of me?"

  "Why should I make fun of you?" asked Leng Bing coldly.

  Luo Hui said weakly: "I often boast in front of you about how great my dad is, who would have thought..."

  "Haha, I've said it before, we're friends, so what's the big deal about what our dads do? Let's go, come to my place today. And don't hang out with those good-for-nothing friends of yours, waving your family flag in school. If you really have skills, make people remember you, respect you, and even fear you with your own abilities."

  Luohui couldn't help but laugh at the cold words, and although Leng Bingxue's words were harsh, they made him feel a strange sense of closeness. Originally, after learning about Leng Bingxue's identity this time, he felt very disappointed, as if he could feel the gap between himself and his friend growing wider and wider, with a strong sense of estrangement. Now that he had been scolded by Leng Bingxue for a while, his heart actually felt more at ease, as if everything had returned to normal, and Leng Bingxue was still the same old friend who liked to tease him.

  "He said with delight: 'Great, even my old man has never been to the mayor's house as a guest! Now he'll be so jealous of me, I'm going to call him right now!'"

  Seeing Luo Hui's excited look, Xiao Wei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh too.

  It was just a small episode and life returned to calm afterwards.

  However, Liu Suying, who had been paying close attention to the matter, suddenly realized that the student who had offended her was actually the youngest son of Mayor Leng Yunfei, Leng Binghan. Her strength was instantly drained, and she almost fainted. She only wanted to hug a sturdy and powerful leg, but instead, she ended up offending someone she couldn't afford to offend. As expected, before the next day arrived, she received a notice that she had been transferred to the sports logistics department to manage and distribute sports equipment for physical education students.

  At this time, Liu Suying was really tearless, and had to move from the bright and sunny office on the third floor to a dim and humid storage room in the underground gym amidst the gossip and pointing of many informed teachers. Her mood was also like this office move, without a single ray of sunshine.

  It's originally a matter for the children to resolve among themselves, but with her getting involved and adding so many ulterior motives, she has lost the respect that teachers should have, only making things more complicated and worse. With this outcome, no one will sympathize with her either.

  The first grade class one has restored its tranquility, with the presence of the great god Cold Ice and Cold Zhenglin's warning. As a result, some cadres' children who were once arrogant in the schoolyard are now walking around Class One, Grade One. Even when conflicts arise, as soon as they say "I'm from Class One, Grade One", most people will retreat, not wanting to offend Cold Ice and Cold. Later on, even if someone wasn't actually from Class One, Grade One, they would often claim to be when something happened, making this a bizarre tradition at the school that has been passed down for years, but later students are unaware of its origin.

  However, Leng Bingxue always felt that something was off. The attitude of his classmates towards him had changed by 180 degrees overnight. They would often find excuses to get close to him and greet him intentionally, but in their eyes, there was always a flicker of something else.

  An ordinary person, suddenly having a towering figure by their side that makes them look up in awe, the change in mental state is imaginable. Especially when the relationship between this giant and you is not as distant as you imagined, some strange thoughts will pop into your mind. Even if they are still innocent children, under the influence of many parents' values and the push of the waves, the originally pure friendship has also become somewhat distorted.

  Even Leng Bing Han felt helpless about this.
