Supreme Warrior in the City

The restaurant Fang Zhong chose to host the dinner was a rather ordinary one in the city, which suggested that his family was probably middle-class.

This time, however, Fang Zhong was very generous and booked the entire restaurant. He had already received news that the top scholar of the Pingnan Province college entrance examination was from Nanluo City. Although it was not yet known who exactly it was, his excitement was extraordinary. He was well aware that in Nanluo City, no one could score higher than him. Thus, he was almost certain that he himself was the top scholar.

Thus, he had specifically asked for money from home to book the restaurant. His parents, knowing their child had performed well, were particularly pleased and did not skimp. They even allowed Fang Zhong to invite many friends over.

Now, most of the people in the restaurant were students from No. 7 Middle School, along with others from different schools who were friends with Fang Zhong. Fang Zhong had specifically invited people from various major schools because, frankly, he wanted to openly let them know about his becoming the top scholar and, at the same time, to publicly crush Su Yang.

Fang Zhong’s favorite saying was ”Never underestimate the young and poor.” Over the years, he had never regarded those dandies highly, often despising them with his outstanding academic performance. However, those dandies also did not take him seriously at all, completely ignoring him, which made him feel somewhat lost.

This time, concerning the matter involving Su Yang, Fang Zhong was prepared to prove his motto—Never underestimate the young and poor—in action!

”I might not be as rich as you now, but so what? You fat-brained rich folks, what else do you have besides wealthy parents? You might abuse your family’s power for ten or twenty years, but what about after that? I have genuine talent and knowledge, and someday, I will trample you underfoot and make you kneel and lick my boots—that’s my capability!”

Su Yang, the Four Great Families, all the big shots—they’re nothing. Compared to me, Fang Zhong, in exam scores, you’re not even worthy to carry my shoes. Today, let those girls who admire you see just what these dandy fools are like—stupid pigs!”

All along the way, Fang Zhong was secretly fuming and swore to trample Su Yang underfoot in front of everyone. He wanted to show his manliness in front of Lin Qingru and let the whole world know that he, Fang Zhong, was not afraid of these powers and did not fear these so-called dandies!

As for whether Su Yang would become enraged and beat him up, Fang Zhong didn’t care. If Su Yang did beat him, it would just prove that Su Yang was truly embarrassed. Then, Lin Qingru would definitely protect him, and perhaps even feel sorry for him. That night, he might just end up winning her heart.

Isn’t life’s greatest triumph at the time of passing the exams and on the wedding night? He had already topped the examination, and if he could celebrate his wedding night tonight, that would be perfect!

With these thoughts in mind, Fang Zhong entered the restaurant. By then, quite a few people had arrived, and everyone was energetically chatting together. Of course, among these people, there were a few who were well-informed and knew about the top scholar from Nanluo City—they were discussing it now.

These people all knew that if the top scholar was from Nanluo City, then Fang Zhong was the only possible candidate. Thus, when Fang Zhong entered, everyone immediately stood up and began applauding, ”Hey, our top scholar has arrived!”

Fang Zhong hadn’t expected the crowd to be so well-informed, which saved him the trouble of announcing it himself. He quickly put on a humble face and waved his hand, smiling, ”Don’t joke, guys. The results haven’t been announced yet, it’s not certain yet!”

”What joke? Everyone knows that the top scholar from Pingnan Province is from Nanluo City. If not you, then who?” a boy laughed.

”Exactly, if the top scholar is from our Nanluo City, no one but you deserves it!”

”Fang Zhong, it’s settled, you’re this year’s top scholar. Tonight’s meal is on you!”

”Yes, Fang Zhong, tonight we must feast to our heart’s content. We won’t get many chances to eat a top scholar’s treat in the future!”

The crowd laughed uproariously, and Fang Zhong was also brimming with pride, laughing, ”Don’t worry, everyone feel free to eat up tonight. I’ll make sure everyone leaves satisfied!”

The crowd was overjoyed and showered him with flattery, exciting Fang Zhong even further.

It wasn’t long before Lin Qingru also arrived, and she too had heard about the top scholar from her father. She was visibly delighted.

The incidents with Liao Yuxuan had almost driven her to despair. Later, when those dandies had ostracized her, she had no choice but to turn to Fang Zhong as a backup. Fang Zhong’s often-recited phrase, ”Never underestimate the young and poor,” had filled her with hope. This time, Fang Zhong becoming the top scholar of Pingnan Province would prove her choice was right and confirm that she, Lin Qingru, still had charm, and her choice was in no way inferior to those dandies.

”Fang Zhong, congratulations!” Lin Qingru approached Fang Zhong and said sincerely.

”Thank you!” Fang Zhong smiled back, his eyes admiring Lin Qingru’s charming attire as a flame of desire surged within him.

Just then, someone from behind started shouting, ”Kiss her! Kiss her!”

At this, others also began clamoring. Everyone was clapping, urging Lin Qingru to kiss Fang Zhong.

”Stop it, stop it...” Fang Zhong said this, but inside he was very eager.

Although he and Lin Qingru were together, in truth, their relationship had only involved holding hands, with no substantial progress. Tonight, he planned on achieving success both in love and career. The crowd’s teasing completely matched his intentions!

Lin Qingru blushed but still closed her eyes. Fang Zhong, while a good student, was no fool. He had watched TV and understood what this meant. He immediately stepped forward and kissed her. The two hugged each other excitedly amidst another round of applause, making it seem like true lovers had found their destiny.

Fang Zhong was exceptionally thrilled. Holding Lin Qingru’s hand, he whispered, ”Tonight, I will make that Su guy lose all face here, and get justice for you!”

Lin Qingru nodded vigorously, also eager for Su Yang to arrive. Su Yang, with your powerful background and skills, isn’t your academic gap a glaring deficiency compared to Fang Zhong?
