314: Chapter 313: Liu Dashun’s Girlfriend 314: Chapter 313: Liu Dashun’s Girlfriend Cheers erupted from Little Orphan Elementary School as Ning Fan chased away the group of thugs; both the teachers and students inside the school, as well as the people at the entrance, burst out in joy.
“Hey, snap out of it!”
Ning Fan waved his hand in front of Zhang Shiya and even snapped his fingers.
Only then did Zhang Shiya come to her senses and let out an exclamation.
Watching Ning Fan smile and then turn to leave, Zhang Shiya’s face flushed red, her eyes complex as she gazed at his retreating figure.
The old principal, with tears streaming down his face, approached Ning Fan and grasped his hands in gratitude, “Ning Fan, thank you!
If it weren’t for you today, our school would have been in trouble!”
A group of elementary students also gathered around at that time, chanting together, “Thank you, Brother Ning Fan!”
“No need to thank me—we’re all from the same village.
Since I saw it happening, naturally, I had to step up!”
Ning Fan spoke righteously, looking at the old principal.
Due to the thugs, the school had sustained serious damage.
Having spent five or six years there, Ning Fan had grown quite attached to the place.
Seeing these thugs causing trouble and destruction, how could he possibly just watch?
“This time Ning Fan managed to chase them away, but the issue has escalated.
Zhu Ba, that scoundrel, certainly won’t let this go; they will definitely come back for revenge!”
Anxious, a teacher couldn’t help but sigh.
The principal’s anxiety flared up, glaring at him, “What are you saying?
Ning Fan helped us drive away those thugs, and you’re here, undermining morale?”
“Principal, I’m grateful to Ning Fan, too, but he was here today.
What if he’s not around another day?”
With that said, even the principal began to worry.
“Everyone knows what kind of a person Zhu Ba is.
Given his character, he’s definitely not going to let this go.
Luckily, Dr.
Ning returned this time, but if he’s not here next time, what are we going to do?”
Everyone began to worry again.
They were all defenseless, and if the vigorous youths of the village were still there, Zhu Ba and his gang wouldn’t stand a chance.
But because the young people had all gone out to work, leaving only the old, the weak, women, and children behind, Zhu Ba and his gang were so bold.
Ning Fan instantly became their savior, but since he had been away for a while, everyone was unsure how long he would stay this time and they weren’t very optimistic about the future.
Seeing everyone’s worried expressions, yet still coming up to thank him and asking him not to take it to heart, saying they would figure something out later, Ning Fan felt rather distressed.
“Thank you, I’ll let bygones be bygones…”
Zhang Shiya came over, her face flushed as she spoke, then turned and fled as though escaping, leaving Ning Fan stunned and causing the bystanders to look on with a mischievous misunderstanding.
“Ning Fan, you’re really amazing, unlike me.
I always wanted to step in, but just didn’t have the courage.
If it weren’t for you, no one could have taught those brutes a lesson.
You really helped everyone out a lot!”
Liu Dashun ran over, gave Ning Fan a thumbs up, and then somewhat sheepishly lowered his head.
Liu Dashun had witnessed all the vile actions of the thugs, feeling extremely angry and always wanting to intervene, but lacked the courage.
Fortunately, Ning Fan was there, otherwise those thugs would have recklessly destroyed the whole school.
Liu Dashun was honest, even admitting he was too cowardly to take action, something he could readily talk about.
Ning Fan just smiled, showing that he didn’t mind.
At that moment, a quiet-looking woman ran over to Liu Dashun’s side.
He immediately pulled her over to introduce her to Ning Fan, “Ning Brother, this is my girlfriend.
She lives in the town!”
Liu Dashun’s girlfriend glanced at Ning Fan and didn’t say anything, but Ning Fan noticed disdain in her eyes—probably because she was from the town, while Ning Fan was from a small, isolated village.
Ning Fan didn’t say anything either but still showed Liu Dashun some respect.
“Lili, call him ‘Brother Ning’!”
Liu Dashun said to his girlfriend, Zhao Lili.
Her reaction, however, worsened when she heard her boyfriend tell her to call Ning Fan “Brother.” She pouted and said, “He doesn’t even look older than me, so why should I call him ‘brother’?”
Liu Dashun’s face stiffened, and he glanced at Ning Fan awkwardly.
Ning Fan just waved his hand, indicating he didn’t mind.
It wasn’t easy to talk about a wife in the village.
Liu Dashun had finally found a girlfriend, and he genuinely wanted to show Liu Dashun respect, taking Zhao Lili’s words as no more than a slight breeze passing by.
Despite that, Liu Dashun still wanted his girlfriend Zhao Lili to call Ning Fan “brother.” So, he recited to his girlfriend how earlier Ning Fan had impressively driven the thugs away.
“Lili, let me tell you, just then, Brother Ning with a few punches and kicks made that arrogant gang leave our village in utter disgrace!”
Liu Dashun recounted excitedly, making extravagant gestures, which even amused Ning Fan.
Yet, Zhao Lili’s reaction surprised everyone.
She shouted, “Dashun, have you gone mad?
Don’t you know who Zhu Ba is?”
Liu Dashun was totally bewildered, staring at his girlfriend.
“That guy has messed with Zhu Ba’s people, Zhu Ba will definitely seek revenge.
And you’re siding with him?
Aren’t you just asking for trouble?”
Zhao Lili spoke with concern, but her sidelong glances at Ning Fan and the undisguised scorn in her eyes said otherwise.
She, being from the town, knew very well who Zhu Ba was, so to her, Ning Fan provoking Zhu Ba was practically a death wish.
And her boyfriend Liu Dashun was still mixing with Ning Fan; wasn’t that just seeking death too?
“Dashun, let’s go, let’s go to my house.
Let’s not get entangled in this mess!”
Zhao Lili grabbed Liu Dashun’s arm, attempting to pull him away.
Throughout this, Ning Fan said nothing but frowned and ignored Zhao Lili, only looking at Liu Dashun with worry as his face grew darker.
“How are you speaking to my Brother Ning?”
Liu Dashun confronted Zhao Lili, his tone far from calm.
Zhao Lili immediately became furious, yelling, “Humph!
Are you getting angry now, Liu Dashun?
Aren’t I asking you to break ties with him for your own good?
Don’t you know who Zhu Ba is?”
Then, turning to Ning Fan, Zhao Lili spoke with a warning tone, her voice sharp, “I don’t care what relationship you had with Liu Dashun before, but from now on, please keep your distance from my Dashun!
Stay far away!
Challenging Zhu Ba, and you do not even consider your status.
Do you want to get Liu Dashun killed?!”
Zhao Lili blatantly rebuked Ning Fan without any courtesy.
Smack!
Liu Dashun slapped her across the face.
