CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126 NOT GOING_1

Chu Hao said, "Seriously, you’d better not mess with me. We’re all classmates, and I don’t want to bully you."

Wang Qi glared and then chuckled, "You, bullying me? Alright, Brother Qi will give you a chance. Do you dare to come to the restroom?"

Going to the restroom? What good could come of that? It was just a pretext to teach Chu Hao a lesson and show him who the real boss of the class was.

Chu Hao touched his nose and asked, "Do we really have to go?"

Wang Qi said angrily, "Enough talk! Do you dare or not?"

Mu Yuxun couldn’t help but intervene, "Wang Qi, we’re all classmates. What do you mean by this?"

Chu Hao could catch ghosts, but fighting people was completely different from catching ghosts. She truly feared that something might go wrong.

Wang Qi was puzzled. Why would the school belle defend Chu Hao? This only strengthened his resolve to beat Chu Hao up.

Chu Hao said, "I need to change my clothes first. You can wait for me in the restroom."

Wang Qi waved his hand dismissively, saying quite imposingly, "I’ll let you go change. Don’t say I’m bullying you. You can even go find backup."

After speaking, he swaggered out.

Chu Hao patted Li Yin on the shoulder and said, "Let’s go."

Li Yin asked, puzzled, "Are you really going?"

Li Yin wasn’t afraid of a fight, but they were outnumbered. If it really came down to blows, the two of them would be at a serious disadvantage.

Chu Hao rolled his eyes. "Go for what? Come with me to buy some clothes, and then treat me to a meal. I haven’t even had breakfast; I’m starving."

Li Yin was somewhat speechless. "So, we’re just going to let Wang Qi wait in the restroom?"

Even he felt a bit bad. The stench from the school restroom was infamously foul.

"If he likes waiting, let him wait."

Mu Yuxun was also speechless for a moment. She pitied Wang Qi for three seconds,

then quickly said, "Chu Hao, I have something to ask you."

Chu Hao replied, "We’ll talk when I get back from changing."

Li Yin was surprised. What was going on with Mu Yuxun? She’d been actively trying to talk to Chu Hao since she arrived today. It was unbelievable.

Near the school, Chu Hao grudgingly changed into a new outfit, spending over eight hundred yuan in total.

Now I only have two hundred yuan left. I shouldn’t have shown off yesterday, Chu Hao lamented, close to tears.

This was the very definition of ’showing off and courting disaster.’

To act cool, he had spent two hundred million, and now he was even struggling to pay for a meal. He really wanted to cry.

Just then, his phone rang. Picking it up, he saw it was a call from the famous superstar.

She probably worried about him all night, huh?

Seeing the caller ID, Li Yin burst into laughter. "Ah-Hao, you’re something else! The famous superstar Yi Qinglian is calling you."

Obviously, he didn’t believe it was really the famous superstar Yi Qinglian.

Chu Hao snorted, "So what? A famous superstar can’t call me?"

Li Yin gave him the middle finger. "You’re even more of a show-off than I am."

On the phone, he reassured Yi Qinglian that he was safe and attending class at school. Upon hearing this, the superstar immediately breathed a sigh of relief; she had cried her eyes red the night before.

"I’m glad you’re okay."

"I have to go to class now. Mwah."

"Hey! You haven’t even confessed your feelings yet. Who are you sending ’mwah’ to?"

After hanging up, Li Yin stared at Chu Hao as if he had discovered a new continent. "Damn, you actually have a girlfriend now?"

Chu Hao boasted, "Almost sealed the deal."

Li Yin gave a thumbs-up. "Damn! You, a loser, get two girlfriends in a year, while I can’t even get one? By the way, is she more beautiful than Wu Qingqing?"

Chu Hao replied, "Are you kidding? A girl like Wu Qingqing? Brother Hao wouldn’t want her even if she were offered to him for free. Don’t insult my taste."

Li Yin said, "Could you brag any harder?"

After the meal, Chu Hao wiped his mouth and said, "Pay up."

Li Yin was exasperated. "You don’t have money?"

Chu Hao looked a little embarrassed. "I spent too much yesterday. Plus, after buying these clothes just now, I only have two hundred yuan left."

Li Yin was left speechless. "I’m really worried about how you’re going to survive."

Chu Hao really wanted to say, I have a luxury car worth a hundred million and a villa worth two hundred million! Who would believe me if I said that?

Anyway, even he didn’t quite believe it himself. He had to find a way to make some money.

「By the time he returned to school, class was about to start.」

As he walked into the classroom, Wang Qi and Liu Chan stormed over, looking furious. "You broke your promise!" Liu Chan said menacingly.

Chu Hao covered his nose; the stench of the toilet clinging to Wang Qi was overwhelming. Had this guy really been foolish enough to wait in there for him all afternoon?

Chu Hao coughed dryly. "I was changing clothes, you see, and didn’t make it back in time... How about... we meet at the back mountain after school?"

Wang Qi gritted his teeth. "Back mountain after school it is. If you don’t show up, you’re dead meat."

After saying this, Wang Qi returned to his seat.

Li Yin wore a serious expression. "After school, I’ll find a few guys."

Chu Hao said, "You really want to go?"

Li Yin was taken aback. "We’re not going?"

Chu Hao curled his lip. "The back mountain is crawling with mosquitoes. You want to go feed them? Are you an idiot?"

Li Yin was a bit exasperated. "That’s pretty underhanded of you."

"Well, it’s his own fault for being so dumb."

Li Yin: "..."

It couldn’t be helped. If Wang Qi were to find out, who knew if he’d have a meltdown.

Senior year, with the looming college entrance exams, was incredibly stressful. Chu Hao also wanted to get into a good university to make the old dean proud, so he was particularly focused.

To Chu Hao’s surprise and delight, after the marrow cleansing, his mind had become incredibly sharp. He could grasp many complex subjects just by hearing them once.

This is too easy!

Chu Hao instantly transformed into a star student, eagerly poring over his books.

During the second period, a bald art teacher announced, "Class, for our sketching session this afternoon, we’re going to the back mountain."

A cheer erupted in the classroom.

The school’s back mountain was a glistening green slope, many parts of which were currently under development and expansion.

Under the teacher’s guidance, they didn’t venture too deep into the back mountain, staying on a small hillside.

Li Yin said, a little excitedly, "Remember I told you? They dug up a red coffin on the back mountain, and some people died."

Chu Hao’s eyes lit up. Ghosts and goblins are around! This is a perfect opportunity to kill them and earn Experience Points!

Wang Qi, along with a few other troublemaking boys and girls, approached Mu Yuxun. "Yu Xun, let’s go deeper into the back mountain. I heard they dug up an ancient coffin there. Let’s go treasure hunting!"

Influenced by Chu Hao recently, Mu Yuxun had become very curious about supernatural matters like ghosts and goblins. She was also tempted.

It was said that the corpse inside the coffin was even better preserved than the female mummy from the Ancient Loulan Country.

Mu Yuxun walked up to Chu Hao, blinked her eyes, and said, "Chu Hao, let’s go check out the back mountain, shall we?"

Wang Qi’s expression immediately turned sour.

The classmates stared, wide-eyed. What was up with the school belle? She was acting like a completely different person towards Chu Hao.

In the past, Chu Hao might genuinely have been interested in Mu Yuxun. But it seemed his true preference now was for sophisticated older women.

Besides, that time at the Ancient Moon Residence, this little minx had probably made him look bad.

Chu Hao said, "Not going."

Mu Yuxun stomped her foot. She couldn’t believe he dared to refuse her! But her tone wasn’t too forceful as she asked, "Can’t you just come with me to take a look, please?"

"Not going."
