Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 676 - 291: Big News - Part 2

Fang Feifei was a bit annoyed.

Why should I have to settle for him?!

Is Xi Luting not appealing enough, or is a man worthy of someone of her caliber not impressive enough?

I don't want this!

Fang Feifei kept her hands firmly behind her back, refusing to take the roses. She lowered her head and urged Duan Xiaoyi, "Can you please get up first? We can find a time to talk privately later…"

"No!"

Duan Xiaoyi's face was filled with deep emotion, his voice incredibly resolute.

"Just open it and see, Fei Fei. I've prepared a necklace that's perfect for you! Please say yes. I will treat you well, okay?"

Fang Feifei's temples throbbed with anger.

Why can't you understand?

Do I need you to treat me well?

As the jeering from the surrounding crowd grew louder, she began to panic.

But she was never the kind of girl who could think quickly on her feet. She was no match for Yu Yun, nor was she as ruthless as Xi Luting, who could be brutally decisive when necessary.

Even when she was at her wit's end, she was more inclined to hurt herself.

"Can you please not do this? I'm not prepared for this at all…"

Duan Xiaoyi's heart sank. He knew his chances were slim, but being thick-skinned, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

"Can't you feel my affection for you at all? Fei Fei, believe me, no one is more suitable for you than I am!"

That one sentence almost made Han Lie gag.

Even though, to the end, he never knew exactly what had transpired between Duan Xiaoyi and Fang Feifei, the truth was that young Ms. Fang was in a rather pitiful state.

Well, she might have thought she and Duan Xiaoyi had fought to a bitter stalemate. But since he was thick-skinned and didn't care, she was the only one who was actually hurt.

However, Han Lie didn't move hastily. He decided to first observe Fang Feifei's actual attitude.

"Stop it, okay? We're just classmates!"

Fang Feifei was both angry and anxious, but in the end, she withstood the pressure.

"Besides, I already have someone I like, and I don't want them to misunderstand!"

Duan Xiaoyi turned pale, suddenly becoming flustered and exasperated. "Who?! Tell me, who is it?!"

For young people who weren't very emotionally mature, losing face in public was a catastrophe.

Duan Xiaoyi wasn't the type to resort to violence, but he was persistent, shameless, and knew how to wear someone down.

The moment he spoke, he cast himself as the victim.

"Everyone in our class can see how well I treat you. How could you do this to me?

Last time, I suggested we go to Sanya together for the holidays, and you happily agreed, saying, 'Okay.'

It's only been a little over a month, and you're already in love with someone else?

Who is it?!

I won't accept this!

Call him out! I want to confront him face-to-face!"

He had barely finished speaking when the boisterous Tie Shupi chimed in, "Fang Feifei, don't tell me you've fallen for some rich second-generation from the School of International Studies again?"

He, Low Zhi, and Jin Xin had taken Duan Xiaoyi's money, so they were working exceptionally hard for him.

However, it was hard to tell if this little schemer was genuinely trying to get justice for Duan Xiaoyi or just trying to sabotage the situation.

The internal dynamics among Room 1918's 'Five Tiger Generals' were a mess, a real headache for anyone trying to understand them.

And Chen Ping, the Berserker, who had been watching the spectacle, suddenly jumped in to Fang Feifei's defense, disrupting the scene, "Who do you clowns think you are? Just because you like someone doesn't mean they have to like you back, does it?"

"Exactly…"

"This guy is so shameless!"

The onlooking crowd stopped blindly shouting for them to get together. Some girls began to chime in, empathizing with Fang Feifei's plight.

Of course, some were also jealously stirring the pot.

"He's been cuckolded!"

"This girl is awful! Isn't she just a gold-digger?"

"Slap her! What are you waiting for?"

Duan Xiaoyi's mouth twitched in fury; he could have killed those two idiots.

But he didn't lose his composure. Ignoring Chen Ping, he continued to pester Fang Feifei.

"Take the flowers first. I'll give you a chance to explain, alright?"

Explain my ass!

Fang Feifei was furious too, but she only dared to think such retorts. In front of everyone, she truly didn't have the courage to reject him outright and cause a scene.

In her desperation, she started looking around frantically.

Her intention was to find someone to help, though she herself didn't know whom to ask or how that person could help.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Han Lie on the outskirts of the crowd opposite her.

Brother Lie, now 185cm tall, with his noble air and attire that didn't resemble a student's at all, was particularly eye-catching.

Fang Feifei's eyes lit up. Hope suddenly surged in her heart, and she immediately wanted to ask Han Lie for help.

But as the words reached her lips, she hesitated again.

Was it appropriate to drag Han Lie into such a messy affair all of a sudden?

Actually, in her heart, the matter had always involved Han Lie in some way.

Initially, she had felt a vague attraction towards Duan Xiaoyi. But then, Han Lie had stripped away Duan Xiaoyi's pretenses with a single remark—

"Your family does have a few properties, but you yourself are nothing. Stop bragging. Behave yourself, understand?"

Fang Feifei still remembered vividly Duan Xiaoyi's petrified, silent expression at that moment.

And so, that faint attraction had completely shattered, replaced by the memory of Han Lie's light chuckle—composed and serene, effortlessly cool and remote.

So, after Han Lie became busy and rarely came to class, Duan Xiaoyi completely gave up on currying favor with Xi Luting. He turned his attention to Fang Feifei instead, putting in a lot of effort. Despite all this, Fang Feifei couldn't bring herself to accept him.

Fang Feifei thought: I can understand the difference between ordinary guys and Brother Lie. But at the very least, the person I'm with shouldn't be a clown, right?

In comparison, you're like a pile of crap. How could I possibly accept you?

It's still more fun and exciting hanging out with Sister Ting Ting.
