Chapter 17: Chapter 18 Your Strengths Are Nothing Special

Wu Tao’s sudden down-on-one-knee confession left Lin Shiran frozen in place, somewhat unable to recover her wits.

"Shiran, I love you, will you be my girlfriend? I’m willing to treat you well for a lifetime!" Wu Tao held the roses, looking hopefully towards Lin Shiran.

His actions triggered wave after wave of screams.

"Wow, that’s so romantic!"

"Wu Tao is so handsome, he’s definitely going to succeed."

"Agree to him, agree to him, agree to him!"

"Together, together!"

Surrounded by hundreds of boys and girls egging them on, shouting about romance, some girls seemed to be living the moment themselves, screaming loudly.

Lin Shiran subconsciously took a step back, and only then did she come back to her senses, forcing a smile, "Wu Tao, I’m sorry, I can’t accept you."

"What?!"

From all sides, the students were stunned. Such a romantic confession, and from Wu Tao, the school’s heartthrob, being rejected by the school’s belle!

That’s illogical.

Wu Tao was also surprised. In the three years of high school, the girls he pursued could no longer be counted on one hand, and without a doubt, he had never tasted defeat.

But this time, he was rejected!

Wu Tao’s expression showed slight embarrassment: "Shiran, why?"

"I..." Lin Shiran’s lips trembled slightly, "I already have a boyfriend, I’m sorry, Wu Tao, you are a good person."

A good person?

What the hell, is this the friend zone card?!

Wu Tao was dumbfounded, his face flushed red, being rejected in front of hundreds of people; how was he going to brag to his friends now?

Who on earth took the lead and snatched up Lin Shiran?!

"Shiran, you have a boyfriend now, how come I didn’t know about it, who is he? Can I meet him?" Wu Tao said with a smile.

"He might be busy, maybe it’s not convenient for you to meet him." Lin Shiran was extremely clever, Wu Tao wanting to meet Lin Hao, surely was up to no good.

After the incident with Wu Lin and the hotel, she wasn’t worried about Lin Hao, but about Wu Tao, worried that he would do something excessive.

The wrath of Lin Hao is something even the Yu Family can’t bear, let alone a junior from the Wu Family.

After all, she’s still a kind girl, a schoolmate. She hoped that Wu Tao could live well.

That’s what she thought, but Wu Tao didn’t think so; in his eyes, Lin Shiran must be scared, surely Lin Shiran knew of his capabilities and worried about her so-called boyfriend getting into trouble.

If that’s the case.

Then don’t blame him, Wu Tao, for not being polite!

He took a step forward and said: "Shiran, I know you don’t have a boyfriend, is it just too sudden for you, right? No problem, let’s go watch a movie together tonight."

"Wu Tao, I think you’ve misunderstood, I meant every word I said, there’s no need to go see a movie, I have things to do, goodbye..."

Lin Shiran turned to leave but found that the twenty or so boys dressed in the same uniform had surrounded her and Wu Tao in the center.

The boys formed a heart shape, clapping their hands and chanting: "Together, together, the belle and the heartthrob together!"

Their shouts were loud, rousing the surrounding students to once again shout along.

Lin Shiran frowned: "Wu Tao, please let me leave."

"Shiran, will you agree? You see, everyone wants us to be together, we are truly a perfect match." Wu Tao went on talking to himself, "With me, you will be happy."

As he spoke, Wu Tao moved forward, step by step, closing in on Lin Shiran.

And Lin Shiran could only back up until she could retreat no further, a bad premonition in her heart:

"Wu Tao, what are you trying to do? My boyfriend is very formidable, if you stir him up, there won’t be a good outcome."

"Oh?" Wu Tao said disdainfully, "Shi Ran, are you trying to bluff me again? Let’s not even mention whether you have a boyfriend or not. In the entire Binhai Middle School, who could make things turn out badly for me? Say it, let me hear."

"I, Wu Tao, born into a karate family, wealthy and influential from birth, carefree, began learning karate at the age of ten, achieved Black Belt Fifth Rank at fifteen, Seventh Rank at seventeen, and this year at eighteen, just a couple of days ago, I’ve reached Black Belt Eighth Rank!"

"Not to mention the status of my family, the Wu Family, but my personal capabilities alone, how many can compare? Not to brag, but out of the ten spots for Binhai University, one is surely mine!"

"Shi Ran, with a man as outstanding as me, am I still not good enough for you? With my qualifications, how many in the entire Binhai High School can compare?"

Wu Tao was caught in his own glorious self-admiration, unable to pull himself out. From childhood to adulthood, he grew up bathed in praise, with each and every elder proclaiming him a rare karate prodigy.

His parents are even prouder of him, with countless people envying them for having a son like him, envious of Wu Tao’s talent and strength!"

That said, Wu Tao became even more intoxicated, sinking into a deep egotism.

"But..." Lin Shiran bit her lip, determined to make Wu Tao completely give up on her, she said firmly, "Compared to my boyfriend, all your abilities aren’t worth mentioning."

"In his words, karate is nothing in his eyes."

That day, after resolving the issue at the hotel, she had talked with Lin Hao, and roughly understood some of Lin Hao’s strength.

Lin Hao indeed said something similar.

But not as mildly as she put it.

Lin Hao had said:

Karate is not even worth trash.

"What!" Wu Tao was stunned, then immediately asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, my boyfriend considers karate as nothing," Lin Shiran said cutely, "So please, step aside, we’re not suitable."

Lin Shiran’s words left the boys who formed a circle around them utterly dumbfounded, and the booing quieted down quite a bit.

Everyone who looked at Lin Shiran had a look as if they were staring at an idiot.

Karate is nothing?

Heh.

Do you even know that the so-called ’nothing’, just at Black Belt Eighth Rank, can simultaneously knock down five people?

This karate expert right in front of you is absolutely number one in terms of martial force at Binhai High School.

And that’s nothing?!

Do you know, by saying this, you’re asking for trouble for your so-called boyfriend?

Wu Tao was breathing unevenly, experiencing such humiliation for the first time, and from a woman no less!

In the past, which woman didn’t beg to be with him?

Now, his advances are rejected, and he is humiliated instead!

How can he bear this?!

"Good, very good, Shi Ran, since you say so, I’ll just wait right here and wait for your boyfriend. If he doesn’t come, you’re not going anywhere," Wu Tao said, lowering his voice, which had a hoarse undertone.

"Wu Tao, we’re all classmates, if you do this, I’ll call the teacher!" Lin Shiran said.

"Call them? With my brothers hollering, no one will hear you," Wu Tao laughed, overly smug and sinister.

"Today, either you become my girlfriend."

"Or, have your boyfriend come over so I can see just what kind of amazing person he really is."

"Whoosh!"

Right as Wu Tao finished speaking, suddenly, a sound of flowing water came from the playground, while around the four sides of the playground, bursts of exclamations arose:

"Holy crap!"

"Who is that guy, he actually put out all of Wu Tao’s candles."

"Look, they’re walking over there, every step they take is crushing the roses!"
