In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Hou Liangping was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. His Longines watch was already showing, and these women in front of him didn't even know its value!

Moreover, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Zhongxin and the other two staring at him out of the corner of his eye, and he felt utterly humiliated! But fortunately, he wasn't the type to turn on them on the spot!

He just smiled and said!

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Hou Liangping gritted his teeth and returned to Zhao Zhongxin's table, where the girls also looked over!

Zhong Xiaoai recognized Zhao Zhongxin immediately. What was this devil doing here? Her family was also a military family, although not as prestigious as Zhao Zhongxin's, but they had met before!

She was in the first year of junior high school when her cousin was in the third year, the same year as Zhao Zhongxin. She witnessed Zhao Zhongxin burning her cousin's butt with a cigarette butt! This was a huge blow to her young mind. He was a bully!

Therefore, her impression of Hou Liangping worsened. What kind of good person could you be if you hang out with someone like that?

Zhao Zhongxin didn't recognize Zhong Xiaoai. If he knew what Zhong Xiaoai was thinking, he would be speechless. This was all done by the original owner of the body, what did it have to do with him? And if you really think about it, it was your cousin who bullied Zhao Zhongxin's friend first. When you're in the game, if you mess with others, others can mess with you. And didn't you come to apologize later?

"What's wrong, Xiao Ai? Were you scared? You look terrified. Come on, let's go to another restaurant!"

The girls nearby, seeing Zhong Xiaoai's terrified expression, assumed she was scared by Hou Liangping and quickly pulled her away to run away!

Chen Hai watched the girls leave and said with a grin!

"Look at you, monkey! You've scared several classmates away!"

Qi Tongwei chuckled to himself. They also thought that Hou Liangping had scared away the girls. What they didn't know was that it was Zhao Zhongxin, sitting there with a warm and gentle expression, who had scared them away.

After all, in Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, Zhao Zhongxin's face was synonymous with fear and a vanguard of bullying!

Hou Liangping felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. Back in his hometown, he could easily woo women without lifting a finger; as the son of a municipal standing committee member, it was as simple as waving his hand. But here in Handong, it was having the same effect. For the first time, Hou Liangping felt the thirst for power! Only power could grant him everything! However, he didn't care. He had just overheard a few girls chatting; they were also from Handong University.

Since his status as a rich kid is useless here, but he has money, money paves the way, and he's handsome, isn't that the perfect way to pick up girls?

Hou Liangping was unaware that Zhong Xiaoai had already come to regard him as Zhao Zhongxin's henchman, the kind of person who hated him the moment she saw him!

Meanwhile, Zhong Xiaoai also told Zhao Zhongxin's story, which shocked the other three girls!

"What? That tall, handsome senior who was just sitting over there bullied your cousin in school? He even burned his butt with a cigarette butt?"

One of them was stunned. She was the first girl to notice Zhao Zhongxin. Zhao Zhongxin was tall and handsome, and he had a beautiful smile. He also had a good temperament. She noticed him when she passed by them. Hearing Zhong Xiaoai say this, she felt as if she had been shattered. She actually had the thought, "She was a beautiful woman, but she ended up as a thief!"

To be fair, being good-looking does have its advantages. If Zhao Zhongxin were a big, burly man, this girl would definitely not have been described as "a beautiful woman who unfortunately became a thief." Instead, she would have been cursed by this beast!

"Yes, it's him, Zhao Zhongxin. I'll never forget his terrifying face!"

Zhong Xiaoai, still shaken, recounted that she was terrified after witnessing that scene. Zhao Zhongxin had told her cousin that he would burn anyone with the surname Zhong with a cigarette butt. She was also surnamed Zhong, and she was so frightened that she refused to go to school. When her family asked her what was wrong, she insisted on changing schools, saying she was afraid of Zhao Zhongxin. Her family had no choice but to change her school, and only then did she calm down.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Zhao Zhongxin again at university! Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but recall Zhao Zhongxin's words, and the image of him burning his butt with a cigarette butt! Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoai shuddered! She suddenly wanted to change schools! But she had already enrolled; unless she dropped out, she either had to retake the college entrance exam next year or study abroad!

Zhong Xiaoai thought it would be difficult. She didn't want to trouble her family. She thought that as long as she didn't stand out at school, Zhao Zhongxin wouldn't notice her. Zhao Zhongxin would graduate in two years!

"It's alright, Xiao Ai. We'll just stay away from him. We live in a society governed by law; he won't dare to do anything reckless!"

One of the girls was also a little scared. They were only seventeen or eighteen years old and their minds were not mature. They had an innate fear of bullies!

"Let's go back to school after we eat. Let's not wander around outside anymore. We have military training tomorrow, and I don't know if I'll get dizzy with my physique!"

A girl touched her withered arm with a hint of melancholy.

The other girl's eyes lit up!

"Did you know? Our student council president, senior Qi Tongwei, came from behind during military training and now does a 5-kilometer cross-country run with weights every day! It's either at 5 a.m. or 5 p.m. He didn't run this morning because it's the last batch of freshmen to arrive at school, but he'll definitely run at 5 p.m. today. I heard Senior Qi is quite handsome!"

"Yes, yes, I know too. There's also a good friend of Senior Qi's. They've been going together for three years, rain or shine, as long as they're on campus! I heard that senior is really handsome, let's go together!"

Another girl added, and Zhong Xiaoai nodded in agreement. He dared not wander around outside anymore, for fear of running into Zhao Zhongxin again!

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhao Zhongxin paid the bill. Hou Liangping raised an eyebrow when he saw Zhao Zhongxin's bulging wallet, thinking that he must be a rich young master. However, he still had a sense of superiority. Money was useless; power was what mattered. His father was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee!

"China News Service, 5 PM, don't forget. You're late today, you have to make up for it today. I'm the only one running this route every day!"

"Don't you have two little brothers? Alright, alright, I'll run with you!"

Zhao Zhongxin wanted to refuse, but after seeing Qi Tongwei's look, he agreed. Chen Hai and Hou Liangping, on the other hand, grimaced. In the few days they had been there, Qi Tongwei had made them run with weights, and they really couldn't stand the torture. Either their feet hurt or their stomachs ached! They were fine as long as they didn't have to run. Now that Zhao Zhongxin was back, they both breathed a sigh of relief!
