Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 88 Xiao Hongchen's Challenge
Lin Po, who wanted to get closer to her, said casually, "Just call me by my name. Honorifics are too complicated."

"Yeah, Lin Po. You can just call me Meng. My grandfather and brother both call me that."

Lin Po's suggestion made the girl, who was still a little nervous, relax a lot. She pulled Lin Po over and started chatting with him.

The other students in the classroom turned a deaf ear to it, which shows that Meng Hongchen has accumulated a lot of power in his daily life.

The teacher who had already started teaching turned a blind eye to this.

Are you kidding? One is the granddaughter of the head of Mingde Hall, and the other is a relative arranged by the head of Mingde Hall. He wants to wait until retirement and then bother with these two old men when he has nothing better to do.

In this way, the teacher was teaching at the bottom and the two of them were talking at the top, and the morning class passed quickly.

Although it was Meng Hongchen who asked Lin Po various questions about his preferences from beginning to end, she seemed to be too excited and talked a lot about herself and things around her.

Even the private matter of Xiao Hongchen liking to wear patterned underwear was told to Lin Po by Meng Hongchen as a joke.

The moment the teacher called for the end of get out of class, an unknown feeling of sympathy slowly rose in Lin Po's heart.

"Long Xiao, whether in the original novel or now, you're always like a victim being tricked by your own sister. The last part of the chat is all about your embarrassing moments over the years."

The sound of the get out of class ending also cooled Meng Hongchen's fiery heart a little.

Just as he was about to say something, he realized that he, who was originally sitting at the other end of the desk, was now almost sticking to Lin Po, and his eyes trembled slightly.

However, Meng Hongchen quickly remembered something more important. Looking at Lin Po, who was less than half a meter away, he invited her, "Lin Po, do you want to have dinner together?"

Of course Lin Po would not refuse this, he would rather do so.

"Okay, Xiaomeng."

After saying that, Lin Po stood up first and left through the back door, heading towards the cafeteria.

Meng Hongchen also followed him closely, with a red face and head down as she walked, making it impossible to see her expression.

"He calls me Xiao Meng! We're so close, but is it too soon? No, no, it was Grandpa who introduced me to him anyway!"

While Lin Po was still thinking about how to train Xiao Hongchen, Miss Meng was still working hard on herself.

As expected, Lin Po and Meng Hongchen had just bought lunch and found a table to sit side by side when a white-haired boy with an arrogant look sat opposite Lin Po with a tray of food.

"Hey, your name is Lin Po, you don't look that good, right? If you know what's good for you, stay away from Meng, otherwise be careful of me."

Before the young man could finish his words, Meng Hongchen on the side became unhappy. With an extremely fierce look in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and whispered to him:

"Xiao, you'd better behave yourself, or I'll let Grandpa peel off your skin!"

Although the crisp voice was pleasant to hear, the threat contained in it still gave the young man goosebumps, and he whispered a request to Meng Hongchen.

"Meng, can't you save some face for your brother in public?!"

Meng Hongchen snorted when he heard this and stopped paying attention to him. He turned to look at Lin Po and started to introduce him.

"Lin Po, he's my brother, Xiao Hongchen, in the Soul Guidance Department. He's not very smart though, and he keeps talking about being the Sun Moon Empire's number one genius. You don't have to pay attention to him!"
If he bullies you, tell me and I'll let Grandpa take care of him!"

Click..Click..Click
Lin Po, who had been silent all the time, seemed to hear the sound of something breaking. There was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Hongchen, but his words were merciless.

"Xiao classmate, nice to meet you. My name is Lin Po, and I'm Xiao Meng's friend."

The word "friend" instantly irritated Xiao Hongchen's nerves. Xiao Meng?! A friend?! Xiao Hongchen, who was originally terrified of his sister's authority, instantly gnashed his teeth.

"Friend?! You're Meng's boyfriend in just one morning?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Po stared at the silver-haired boy in front of him in amazement. Although he guessed that this sentence would irritate Xiao Hongchen, he never thought that Xiao Hongchen would understand it in this way.

"Ah! Xiao, what are you talking about? We are just friends!" An extremely cute voice sounded from the side. Meng Hongchen glanced at Lin Po shyly at first, and noticed that he didn't feel anything strange because of the word "boyfriend". She felt a little disappointed in her heart, but then she started yelling at Xiao Hongchen.

This scene was also noticed by the person in charge of the cafeteria. He originally wanted to come over and scold them, but after seeing the two silver-haired guys, he turned around and walked out the door.

You can’t mess with these two big guys.

After a moment, Xiao Hongchen, whose ears were ringing due to the shock, looked at Lin Po with a resentful face, as if to say that it was all your fault, you pig that stole my cabbage.

Seeing this, Lin Po narrowed his eyes slightly and a flash of inspiration came to him.

'I was wondering how Xiao Hongchen could just rush into someone's face without thinking. It seems that the old fox Jing Hongchen said something to him! This silly boy is also being used as a gun by his own grandfather without knowing it.
Do you want to see my strength? Then it's as you wish.'

"Hmph, brat, do you dare to fight with me? If you lose, stay away from me!"

Lin Po wanted to laugh when he heard Xiao Hongchen's challenge. With such a brain, it was not unreasonable that Huo Yuhao treated him like a dog in the original novel.

"What if you lose?"

"Me? I won't lose! I'm the number one genius in the Sun-Moon Empire!"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Lin Po could raise any objections, Meng Hongchen spoke first.

"Hmph, you lose. You will be responsible for making Brother Lin Po's future soul guides! It just so happens that you are a soul guide, and Brother Lin Po is a controller!"

Lin Po turned his head and looked at Meng Hongchen beside him in surprise. Only then did he realize that the brother and sister were acting in unison.

As for calling him "Brother Lin Po" over and over again, Meng Hongchen probably changed the name on his own initiative because he was worried that he would get angry.

"I was careless. Even if the children of a wealthy family are love-sick, they can't be fools. You old fox, you are so capable! Don't let me catch you and mess with you!!"

Noticing that his lover was looking at him with strange eyes, Meng Hongchen's face turned pale and he looked at Lin Po with some guilt, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Lin Po smiled slightly and turned to look at Xiao Hongchen who was a little hesitant.

"Xiao Meng's meaning is exactly what I mean. What do you think, classmate Xiao?"

Lin Po's words made Meng Hongchen's expression relax. He patted his proud chest and thought to himself: "I'm glad that Brother Lin Po didn't blame me. Hmm? Brother Lin Po, hey~"

Seeing that Lin Po was mainly dreaming, Xiao Hongchen could no longer hold back his anger and agreed without hesitation.

"Alright! See you at the third training ground at 2pm!"

Then he hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and rushed out of the cafeteria under the curious gazes of a group of people.

"He's really full of youthful vigor, but unfortunately, he's too stubborn and easily broken."

Lin Po sighed inwardly. He didn't dislike people like Xiao Hongchen. Geniuses are always arrogant, and he himself was too. It's just that he was born at the wrong time.

Just when Lin Po was daydreaming, he suddenly felt his clothes being pulled by an inexplicable force. When he came to his senses, he saw that it was Meng who was gently pulling his sleeve and looking at him cautiously.

Meng Hongchen asked with a trembling voice: "Lin Po, are you still blaming me?"

"Why don't you call me Brother Lin Po anymore? I still like you very much."

Lin Po's irrelevant answer made the girl's fair face flush, and she stammered and was speechless.

"I still know the significance of the surname Hongchen, and I have anticipated this kind of situation. Besides, I will not lose."

"Yes! I believe you, Brother Lin Po!"

The girl's joyful voice spread throughout the cafeteria

Is the plot here in Meng Hongchen abrupt? . . . I'm not sure. . . . The setting is that Jing Hongchen and the brother and sister talked about some things related to the protagonist, and they all knew each other. . .
