  Gao Junzhe looked at the two guys in the swimming pool with a high and mighty attitude, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

  But Dong Qichang, who was standing beside him, looked at Li Yifan and Chen Peng with a playful gaze. Gao Junzhe and Dong Qichang were sworn brothers, Gao Junzhe's father worked in the government department, while Dong Qichang's old man was a new nobleman in the business world of Bin City, so he usually had to fawn over Gao Junzhe.

  The two henchmen, Bai Meng and Zhang Lei, who usually followed Gao Junzhe around, did not come along today because Dong Qichang was hosting the gathering. He fawned on Gao Junzhe, but he didn't need to also fawn on Gao's two lackeys. Moreover, since they were meeting at the expensive Kailaixi Hotel, in Dong Qichang's eyes, Bai Meng and Zhang Lei weren't even qualified to attend.

  Following them, there were several other men and women. Some of them, like Li Yihao, had seen them in school before, so they should all be alumni of No. 1 Middle School. A few others looked unfamiliar, seemingly friends of Gao Junzhe's. These young people, one by one, had their noses upturned, with an air of being unbeatable, clearly from wealthy or noble families.

  At this time, Li Yifan was most concerned about the girl standing behind Gao Junzhe. She had a tall and slender figure, fair skin, and wore a pink swimsuit with her hair tied back. Although she still wore a large pair of sunglasses on her face, Li Yifan recognized at a glance that it was Yue Ling, the Yue Ling he had been dreaming about.

  What a pity, why did she get mixed up with these dregs? Li Yifan's heart was somewhat resentful and indignant towards Yue Ling. Why couldn't she be like Tang Tian, fresh and elegant, not getting mixed up with these noble young masters?

  But soon he came to his senses, what era is it now, how many girls can be fresh and unconventional? Most people will still proactively get close to those powerful and resourceful noble sons in the future.

  Besides, what's the relationship between Yuelin and herself? She's just her long-held secret crush. There's no agreement between them, if she wants to hang out with someone, that's her business, none of hers.

  Gao Junzhe, standing beside the swimming pool, was also looking at Li Yifan with a cold gaze. Before the exam, he had been slapped in front of all teachers and students by this guy, which was a great humiliation.

  Such a deep-seated hatred, he was determined to take revenge. After returning home that day, he found someone to avenge him, but unexpectedly, his old man scolded him severely after learning about the details.

  His academic performance is average in the class, although it can't be said that he's at the bottom of the class, but it's just a mediocre level. This time, no matter what, he won't be able to stay in Class 3 with his own grades, so his dad will have to pull strings and find someone to help him out. Therefore, his dad certainly doesn't want him to cause any big trouble during this period of time, or else his future prospects will be a problem.

  So, Gao Junzhe forcibly suppressed his desire for revenge.

  That day when going to school to get the results, Gao Junzhe also thought about finding someone to block him, but later on, he thought that he couldn't let him off so easily. He found out from others that this guy's family ran a small restaurant, so he planned to wait until the holiday and find some thugs to go and smash their restaurant, giving this kid a painful lesson, letting him know well that there are some people he can't afford to mess with.

  "Hmph! I wonder how many more days you can be happy? Looking at Li Yifan in the swimming pool, Gao Junzhe seemed to be looking at a dead man. He had already arranged everything, and this time it wasn't just Li Yifan who would suffer, but also his family members would follow suit. Who made him provoke someone he shouldn't have provoked?"

  "Chen Peng, the ticket prices here are not cheap, you guys be careful, after you're done playing, you won't have money to take the bus back home."

  Dong Qichang didn't even mention Li Yifan's name, showing his disdain for him. This damn guy actually got encouragement from the goddess during the holiday, it's infuriating, he really deserves a good scolding, telling him that the goddess is mine.

  So he was just mocking Chen Peng, but in fact, he was targeting

  It's still Li Yihuan, after all, he is very clear about his family situation.

  "Hmph, mind your own business, take care of yourself, we'll figure out how to get home on our own, no need for you to worry."

  Chen Peng and Li Yifan are good friends, so he naturally knows why these people come to mock him. He usually can't get along with them, so of course, there's no need to give them any face.

  "Hey, you little brat, really don't know what's good for you."

  Dong Qichang was choked by Chen Peng's words and rolled his eyes, he didn't like Gao Junzhe who liked to solve problems with violence at every turn, but this person was very bad, very sinister, thinking of Li Yifan's slow dog paddle swimming posture just now, plus Chen Peng's body that only dared to wander in the shallow water area, and a bad idea popped out after a flicker of his eyes.

  "Hey Chen Peng, you guys seem to be good at swimming! I saw that you swam pretty well just now!"

  Dong Qichang is a scoundrel, and with just one sentence, he has flattered Chen Peng. Chen Peng is after all a relatively simple-minded young man, who doesn't know what kind of idea Dong Qichang has in mind at this time. Hearing Dong Qichang's praise, he feels a little happy, after all they were classmates before, not sworn enemies, so he didn't think much about it.

  He thought he was praising Li Yifan's swimming skills, but what he didn't know was that just now, Li Yifan had made a few moves that were completely invisible.

  "That's right, my swimming skills are just so-so, but Yifan's swimming skills are absolutely exceptional."

  These days, some young people don't want their friends to stand out, especially if they themselves are relatively ordinary. They generally hope to have one or two extraordinary friends by their side, so that when they go out and brag to others, they'll also have something to brag about.

  Moreover, Li Yifan was already a mysterious young man in Chen Peng's heart at this time.

  "Otherwise, it's meaningless for us to stay here and play. Why don't we have a swimming competition instead?"

  Dong Qichang suddenly said this sentence, which exposed his true intentions and instantly stunned Chen Peng, who had just been slightly dizzy from being praised.

  "What's the comparison method?"

  Li Yifan knew that Dong Qichang was setting a trap for Chen Peng, it seemed he thought they were still greenhorns, no way could they let them lead them by the nose.

  "Let's have a 100-meter race, anyway we're not doing anything else. From here to there and then back again, let's see who's faster."

  Dong Qichang smiled and said to Li Yihua, but in his heart he was praying that Li Yihua would quickly agree to this request. He and Gao Junzhe were swimming experts, having received specialized training in elementary school, and if not for family requirements, Dong Qichang had even almost joined the school's swimming team. So he had absolute confidence in his own swimming skills.

  "Heh heh, okay? So are you going to bring some snacks too?"

  Li Yihong smiled with a glint in his eye, this guy was about to be left behind, it's better to take the initiative to continue the conversation.

  "Haha, alright! Whoever comes back first wins, 50 yuan per round, how about it?"

  Dong Qichang calculated that the two of them probably had only twenty or thirty yuan on them, which was a huge amount for high school students at that time. Fifty yuan was an astronomical figure.

  The Kaileyski Hotel is in the city center, but it's quite a distance from Li Yifan's home on Wuyi Street. If you walk, it'll take at least an hour and a half to get home.

  He just wanted to watch the two unlucky ones walk home on an empty stomach today.

  Of course, if these two fools really dare to play with themselves, then they don't mind losing even more miserably.

  "Only fifty yuan?"

  Looking at the corner of Li Yifan's mouth with a hint of disdain, Dong Qichang was somewhat skeptical of his own ears, wondering if he had misheard.

  "What? Are you dissatisfied?"

  Dong Qichang's eyes widened, while Gao Junzhe narrowed his at this moment. The girl in the pink swimsuit standing behind them covered her mouth even more tightly.
