Chapter 374: Chapter 373 The Good Person Among the Bad Guys

Work and leisure balanced, Lin Tian felt a sense of familiarity, it took him a moment to remember that just last night he was educating his fellow classmate Liu Wenxing this way, and unexpectedly today it was his turn to be educated by Teacher Ru Meng.

He could only nod and say, "Alright, thank you for the reminder, Teacher. I’ll also pay attention to the matters of the association."

Watching Lin Tian’s honest expression, Teacher Ru Meng felt a bout of daze. Who would have thought that the person who looked so honest at that moment was someone who could summon a crowd with just a call?

"Alright, I’m leaving too," said Teacher Ru Meng, shaking her head. Sometimes she really couldn’t tell which one was the real Lin Tian.

The scene was once again left with the three of them. Lin Tian was about to walk back to the classroom when Zhang Lingyu said meaningfully, "Teacher Ru Meng, you’re so affectionate when you call her."

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Lin Tian glanced at her, dissatisfied, "I’m being cordial, not affectionate, okay? Please be more accurate with your words."

"Is that so? I’ve heard that Teacher Liu is just over twenty, only a few years older than us senior high students. She’s beautiful and has a great figure. She’s the dream girl of a lot of boys, you know," Zhang Lingyu said dubiously, looking at Lin Tian on purpose.

"Hmm, what about it? I call her Teacher Ru Meng. You’re not getting jealous, are you? Then I might as well call you Little Ling’er too. I think this nickname sounds quite affectionate as well," Lin Tian said with a huff.

"Who let you call me Little Ling’er? You’re shameless," Zhang Lingyu shouted indignantly with her eyebrows raised, her cheeks slightly blushing.

"Who says I’m shameless? I’m actually an honest person, right, Second Miss? Alas, everyone is deceived by my appearance. Actually, I’m more honest than anyone else. Little Ling’er, you wouldn’t understand, life is lonely like snow," Lin Tian sighed deliberately and then strolled back to the classroom.

Zhang Lingyu was annoyed and said discontentedly, "Xuanxuan, he’s supposed to be your bodyguard, huh? Why don’t you control him? Look at him, all pretense. It makes me want to punch him twice."

"Hee hee, really? Sister Yu seems so vexed because you care, right? Are you actually jealous?" Xiao Manxuan said teasingly as she looked at Zhang Lingyu with a smile.

"Who says so? I’m not at all," Zhang Lingyu retorted, her pretty face blushing, yet she stubbornly insisted.

"Also, Lin Tian is really a good person, you know. Don’t be fooled by his usually unserious demeanor and his liking for looking at pretty girls. But have you ever considered this? With his charm and capabilities, there must be many girls who like him, right? I think as long as he is willing, no matter what he asks of them, those girls wouldn’t refuse, including that one, but he has never taken advantage of any girl."

"Really? Maybe he’s not capable in that department," Zhang Lingyu had already believed most of it but still refused to admit it.

"Which department?" Xiao Manxuan was stunned for a moment and asked, not understanding immediately.

"You know, that one," Zhang Lingyu said embarrassingly, regretting having brought it up, but still pushed through stiffly.

With that reminder, an image flashed through Xiao Manxuan’s mind. It was her in Lin Tian’s room, tripping over, instinctively pulling at Lin Tian’s shorts, the shorts tearing apart, and then she saw Lin Tian entirely unobstructed.

Her pretty face turned crimson in an instant, and she blurted out without thinking, "He is not incapable at all, he... he..."

"He what? Is he really that impressive? How would you know?" Zhang Lingyu asked with suspicion, giving her a sidelong glance.

"I... I don’t know anything," Xiao Manxuan said, her head lowered, cheeks flushed red. Then, she diverted the topic, "Look, he lives right below me, and most of the time it’s just the two of us in the house, but he hasn’t done anything to me, so that means he’s a ’good guy among the bad ones,’ right?"

If Lin Tian were still here, he would definitely be shocked by the private conversation of the two campus beauties, and he would be utterly defeated by Xiao Manxuan’s bizarre logic, thinking, "good guy among the bad ones".

"Good guy among the bad ones?" Odder still, Zhang Lingyu actually accepted this notion, murmuring it to herself softly.

She suddenly remembered the night she was attacked by a vampire and got injured, when she went to Lin Tian’s room for treatment. Her clothes were nearly torn to shreds, yet Lin Tian, a young man in his prime, resisted the urge to take advantage of her.

"Xuanxuan, maybe you’re right, Lin Tian is a good person, but there’s an undeniable fact that he’s also a pervert; he just can’t stop ogling girls," Zhang Lingyu concluded, biting her lip.

"Right, he’s a big pervert," agreed Xiao Manxuan, nodding. Under the bizarre logic, the two girls seemed to share the same opinion, exchanging a glance and seeing the amusement in each other’s eyes.

In the Senior Year One classroom, Lin Tian was shooting the breeze with Fatty Huang, Gao Le, and a group of boys when he suddenly sneezed.

Damn, who’s badmouthing me? Lin Tian wondered, touching his nose in confusion.

"Brother Tian, don’t stop, keep going. How can we become more popular with girls? We’re really jealous of you," Fatty Huang asked with a look of envy.

"Yeah, that scene earlier was incredible. It was like ’a solitary arrow piercing the skies, with legions converging to witness.’ So impressive. The girls were practically starry-eyed looking at Brother Tian. I wish I could be half as successful as you," Gao Le said, full of longing.

"Hmm, according to my calculations, you have no chance of reaching even a tenth of that level," Chen Herun said very seriously, nodding his head as if it were a matter of great importance.

"Hey, Mr. Mathematician, can’t you say something nice for once to comfort this wounded soul of mine?" Gao Le complained, making a face.

"Hmm, I know why we don’t have any girls liking us. It’s because we’re not bad enough. As they say, ’a bad boy is what a girl loves’," Fatty Huang interjected without waiting for Lin Tian’s answer, and the other boys all nodded in agreement.

Lin Tian was speechless at their nonsensical talk. From the moment he entered the classroom, they’d been pestering him incessantly about every little thing—not just because he made a big scene earlier. Had he known, he would have preferred to just beat Pan Hui outright and avoid all the inquiries from the boys.

He patted Fatty Huang’s shoulder, resigned to respond with some made-up answer, "You’re wrong to think that way, Fatty. According to what I’ve read online, a ’bad boy’ isn’t what you guys think it is."

"What’s the difference?" all the boys asked in unison.

"Just so you know, this is what I saw online, not my own point of view," Lin Tian stressed once again, as he really did see it online and didn’t have time to think about such trivial matters. He explained, "What men consider ’bad boys’ are the ones who toy with women, those who go against moral values. But what women consider ’bad boys’ are men who can take control of everything around them, including controlling them, the disobedient ones."

"So, what you guys think of as ’bad boys’ is just nonsense. Although I don’t quite agree with this perspective put forth by the author, I have to admit, it seems to make some sense," Lin Tian said.

"Oh, I see. No wonder when girls reject us they always say, ’You’re a good man.’ What they really mean is, ’You haven’t even conquered my heart’," said Fatty Huang, nodding as if he understood perfectly.

"I think that being true to oneself is what matters most, having a clear conscience is enough. What does it matter what others think of you as good or bad?" Lin Tian said indifferently.
