Chapter 43:

 

The next day, classes officially started. An Yan took a lot of effort to dig Cheng Yang out of bed, then dragged him to the canteen for breakfast before going straight to the classroom.

There were already quite a few students sitting in the large classroom when they arrived. An Yan looked around and chose two seats in the middle on the left.

Although they were all new students, they  had some basic knowledge of potion making since they had successfully passed the entrance exam.

However, in order to give freshmen time to get used to the teaching style of college, the freshman courses start with theoretical knowledge.

An Yan hadn’t done a systematic study on potion making before, so he had a hard time with these lessons. Luckily, he had his light brain to help him record the content for secondary study afterwards.

As for Cheng Yang, although he was very passionate about potions, he was very negligent in learning the theoretical knowledge. If it wasn’t for An Yan sitting by his side, he would have fallen asleep in class.

The morning’s lessons passed quickly. An Yan was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch with Cheng Yang when he saw a figure stop in front of him.

An Yan looked up and saw a tall boy standing in front of him, looking over with an unfriendly face.

"You are An Yan?" In contrast to his face, his tone of voice was also very impolite.

An Yan nodded, "I am. May I ask who you are? "

"My name is Lu Ren. I am also a new student of this major." Lu Ren first introduced himself arrogantly, and then challenged An Yan directly, "I heard that you came first in the entrance exam, and also produced a high-quality potion, so I want to challenge you. "

An Yan sounded a little confused. "What do you mean by laying a challenge?"

Lu Ren did not expect such a reaction from An Yan and frowned unhappily, "Why are you playing dumb here? How can you possibly not even know what it means to place a challenge? "

"But I really don’t know," An Yan shrugged innocently, "If you don’t want to explain, then please move aside."

Of course, Lu Ren didn’t move aside. He could only impatiently explain the meaning: "I’m challenging you to a public competition to see who actually produces a higher grade potion with better effects. You understand, right? "

An Yan nodded seriously, "I understand. So, if you challenge me, do I have to accept? "

Of course, Lu Ren wanted An Yan to accept his challenge, but he could not answer like that, "Of course you don’t have to accept, but if you are confident that you can win ……"

As a result, before he could finish his sentence, he heard An Yan say cleanly, "Since it is not a must to accept, then I choose to decline."

Lu Ren choked hard and his face turned pale. "Why would you refuse my challenge?"

"Of course it’s because I have the right to refuse." An Yan looked at Lu Ren with a strange expression, like he was puzzled as to why he would ask such a simple question.

Cheng Yang, who was ready to step in to protect his future sister-in-law, couldn’t help but laugh out loud. There was really nothing wrong with this answer, "Yan Yan is right. You have the right to challenge him, and he certainly has the right to refuse you."

Lu Ren’s rough face turned red with anger as he questioned angrily, "Did you reject me because you are worried about losing to me?"

This time, An Yan did not answer Lu Ren’s question but turned his head to ask Cheng Yang, "Yang Yang, am I still obliged to answer such questions after refusing his challenge?"

Cheng Yang held back a laugh and shook his head,"Of course not, just ignore boring questions like that."

An Yan sighed in relief, "Then let’s hurry up and go eat. I’m starving. "

Cheng Yang nodded his head impatiently, "Okay, I was just thinking about what we’re going to eat later. Have you thought about it?"

An Yan shook his head in embarrassment and said, "There are too many good things to eat in the canteen. I don’t know what to choose. "

Cheng Yang excitedly suggested, "Why don’t we start from the first window? Let’s try all the food in the canteen. "

An Yan’s eyes lit up, "That’s a good idea!"

Lu Ren’s face turned green when he saw that these two people were ignoring him and were even discussing what to eat for lunch.

"Stop right there!" Lu Ren was so angry that he roared out.

An Yan stopped and looked back at him, then turned his head to ask Cheng Yang, "Do we need to pay attention to him with such a rude attitude?"

Cheng Yang shook his head frantically, "Of course not. It’s more important to go and eat than to talk to such a rude person."

An Yan nodded quite agreeably."I think so too."

Lu Ren’s chest heaving with anger, he strode straight round to the front of the two, blocking their path. He then said with a grim expression, "An Yan, the reason you are afraid to accept my challenge is because you have no real ability at all! You were able to get first place in the entrance examination because you simply cheated!"

Several students who had noticed the situation sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard these words and began to whisper.

However, An Yan, the person involved, reacted very calmly after hearing this. Not only did he not immediately deny this matter, but he also took a quick step to stop Cheng Yang who was ready to speak behind him. He opened his light brain and turned on the video mode.

"This Lu Ren student. Can you repeat what you just said? You better speak slowly and spit out the words more clearly. Otherwise, the recorded effect might not be too good. " An Yan asked and reminded in a particularly serious manner.

Lu Ren, who was facing the camera: "……"

An Yan waited patiently for a while. Seeing that Lu Ren had no intention of speaking up, he had to sigh lightly and kindly remind, "Lu Ren, you are now an adult human being and should learn to be responsible for your own words. A slander like that without evidence will not only harm the person you slandered, but will also land you in trouble. I hope you can understand this point and apply it to your life and studies. Got it?"

Lu Ren’s face had turned purple, and he gulped, but he couldn’t spit out a word.

The whispering voices around him completely disappeared at this moment. Everyone was staring at An Yan with shock in their eyes.

After educating his classmate, An Yan turned off his light brain. He smiled and said to Cheng Yang, "Let’s go eat."

Cheng Yang, who was also in a dazed state, came back to his senses. He looked at Lu Ren with sympathy and nodded cheerfully, "Let’s go, I’m starving."

Their appetite was not affected by the episode in any way. They bought three dishes from the first window and ate them clean with white rice.

There was a two-and-a-half hour break at noon, so An Yan did not rush to class, but went back to the dormitory to rest for a while.

As for Cheng Yang, he couldn’t wait to find his big brother and describe what happened in the classroom with gusto: "Big brother, you don’t even know how ugly that man’s face was at that time.If Yan Yan had said a few more words, I guess that man could have suffocated himself alive hahahaha…"

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "So did you record the footage of that moment?"

Cheng Yang’s boisterous laughter came to an abrupt halt: "Record… record it?"

He was so focused on watching the fun that he didn’t even think about it, okay?

"So all of you saw him being so cute, and only I didn’t?" Cheng Yi’s fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop. His voice was clearly tinged with amusement, but it made Cheng Yang feel a chill in his back.

"Big……big brother… I wasn’t expecting it before ……" Cheng Yang silently swallowed his saliva.

"Let’s forget about it this time. I didn’t tell you before, so I don’t blame you." 

Cheng Yang was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard his elder brother continue, "But this will not be the case next time."

Cheng Yang was immediately dumbfounded: "What did you say, big brother? Do you want……"

Cheng Yi smiled and nodded, "It’s as you think. I want you to help me record every single thing that happens to him from now on. This request is not too much, right?"

This request was more than excessive. It was abnormal!

And how possessive one must be to make such a heinous request!

When he remembered how he naively thought that his big brother was a lonely person and had even sympathised with him, Cheng Yang wanted to knock himself on the head. How could he have such a big misunderstanding of his big brother! 

Yan Yan was such a simple, kind, good-hearted, and understanding child, but he was being targeted by this pervert. He was too pitiful, right?

Cheng Yang was lamenting in his mind when he heard his big brother’s cold voice suddenly come over, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about?"

Cheng Yang immediately returned to his senses and said, with embarrassment: "I say, big brother, isn’t this request is too difficult? And if Yan Yan finds out ……"

“If he finds out, just say that you are doing a video diary and need to record the bits and pieces of your daily life," Cheng Yi had already thought of an excuse for his brother: "If you are worried that you will miss some important moments, you can just leave your light brain on all day."

Hearing these words, Cheng Yang’s face instantly scrunched up. How could he have such a perverted big brother!

"Of course, you can reject me," Cheng Yi's fingertips tapped on the table again, "but then I'll have to use some tactics to get An Yan to move in with me so that I can spend more time with him."

Cheng Yang imagined a horrible image of An Yan being eaten to crumbs after moving in with his big brother and quickly shook his head frantically, "No, no, no, leave this matter to me. I definitely won’t let big brother down! "

Cheng Yi faintly hooked his lips, "Then, I’ll trouble you with this matter, my dear brother."

Cheng Yang was shocked by his big brother’s attitude and quickly made an excuse to retreat: "Well… I have to go back to take a nap, so I’ll leave for now."

"Mmm." Cheng Yi waved his hand at his younger brother.

 Cheng Yang returned to the dormitory lost in thought and saw An Yan lying peacefully asleep on his bed.

Looking at An Yan’s innocent and harmless sleeping face, and then his big brother’s incomparable perverted behaviour, Cheng Yang felt that An Yan was really too pitiful.
