Chapter 126: You Have No Right!

"You... you guys..."

Cheng Youyou stood frozen for a moment, pointing at Ling Qiu and Shen Meng, her mouth twitching as she stammered, "You, you, you..." Her gaze was completely locked onto the package that the two had just been passing between them—a Durex.

Was this... the legendary condom? Even if she had never eaten pork, surely she had seen a pig run? Moreover, the colorful packaging featured a string of suggestive text: "Dotted and Ribbed Ultra-Thin Series"... You really know how to live, you jerk!

Forgive Cheng Youyou; her eyesight had always been excellent, so she saw it with crystal clarity. And most importantly... at this very moment... Ling Qiu was shirtless! It didn't take a genius to figure out what these two were planning.

Cheng Youyou instinctively looked at Shen Meng. At first, she felt a pang of confusion—why would Ling Qiu like such an ordinary girl? But then, as she took a closer look, she thought, *Actually, this girl is quite cute! Fair-skinned, delicate, and with a gentle, obedient air that grows on you.*

In those few seconds, a thousand thoughts raced through Cheng Youyou's mind. Finally, one realization took hold: "So... this is the type of girl Ling Qiu likes?" No wonder he had always been indifferent toward her.

Biting her lip slightly, Cheng Youyou turned to leave. "Sorry to bother you. Carry on!"

Ling Qiu was speechless. Seriously? This was a men's dormitory... when did it become so easy for girls to just walk in?

"Ahem." Ling Qiu cleared his throat and tossed the condom into the trash bin, cursing Zhao Dezhu for setting him up.

Shen Meng, blushing, snapped out of her daze. She pulled her hand back, standing there foolishly, her face beet-red as she tugged at the hem of her shirt. "Ling... Ling Qiu... I'm sorry, I seem to have gotten you into trouble... That girl... she seemed to be looking for you specifically... She’s so pretty... Is she... is she your girlfriend?"

"No, you—"

Before Ling Qiu could finish, Cheng Youyou actually doubled back, her face flushed. "Nonsense! How could I possibly be... the girlfriend of this shameless Ling Qiu?!"

For Ling Qiu, this minor awkwardness was something he could brush off in seconds. He regained his composure and smiled at Cheng Youyou. "Didn't you say you were leaving?"

"I... I..." Cheng Youyou stuttered, then held her head high. "I just remembered... I'm with the Student Union! It is... it is not allowed to do such things in the dormitory! I... I came to strongly condemn your shameless behavior!"

"No... Miss, you... you've misunderstood..." Shen Meng quickly explained, "Actually... just now..."

Cheng Youyou strode forward and grabbed Shen Meng’s arm. "Junior, don't be afraid. With me here, this scoundrel won't dare do anything to you! Let's go!" Without further ado, she dragged Shen Meng out. Given that Cheng Youyou practiced Taekwondo, she was quite strong for a girl, and Shen Meng was pulled away easily.

"No, it's not like that, Ling Qiu..." Shen Meng looked back at him.

Ling Qiu waved his hand. "Go ahead and wait outside. I need to change my clothes anyway."

...

A few minutes later, Ling Qiu arrived at the dormitory entrance. Shen Meng and Cheng Youyou were waiting there. Ling Qiu noticed that Cheng Youyou's expression had softened significantly; it seemed Shen Meng had already explained the situation.

"Did you apologize?" Ling Qiu asked with a smile.

Cheng Youyou blinked. "Apologize for what?"

"Apologize to Shen Meng."

Cheng Youyou pursed her lips, looking quite awkward. "Whether I apologize or not is none of your business!" Though she said that, she had indeed apologized. She was just strong-willed; once she realized it was all a misunderstanding, she felt embarrassed, but for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

"Junior Shen Meng, let me tell you, this Ling Qiu is a bad egg. You should be on your guard and never fall for his tricks... Here, let’s exchange WeChats. If this jerk ever bullies you, just tell your senior!"

Ling Qiu interjected, "Weren't you looking for me? You haven't said what it's about yet."

"Who would want to look for you!" Cheng Youyou glared at him, then huffed and pulled an envelope from her pocket, shoving it into his hand. "Someone wrote you a letter and sent it to the Taekwondo club!"

A letter? Ling Qiu took the envelope, opened it, and pulled out a red card. On it were three prominent characters: "Challenge Letter"!

Cheng Youyou had intended to walk away, but she caught a glimpse of the card and froze. "A challenge letter?"

Ling Qiu flipped it over. A line was written on the back: "I hear your Chinese Kung Fu is quite good, and I would very much like to learn from you. Let’s see if Chinese Kung Fu is superior, or if Taekwondo is better! Tomorrow at 2:00 PM, at the Jiangnan University gymnasium arena. If you're a man, accept this challenge! — Park Chang."

Park Chang? Ling Qiu looked stunned. What kind of name was that? It sounded so... medicinal. The previous one, Park Dao-si, had been subtle enough, but this one was even more absurd!

Cheng Youyou’s eyes landed on the name "Park Chang," and she gasped, quickly snatching the card from Ling Qiu's hand. After reading it, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Ling Qiu... this is a big deal..."

Ling Qiu asked, "Why? Who is this Park Chang?"

"He's the... master of that Park Dao-si!"

"Master?"

"Yes!" Cheng Youyou looked at Ling Qiu, her expression serious. "A true master who has reached the pinnacle of Taekwondo! A black belt among black belts! In the Taekwondo world, this Park Chang... is known as a man like a god!"

"Oh," Ling Qiu replied casually.

"Oh?" Cheng Youyou was torn between laughter and tears. "Ling Qiu... I know you’re very strong... even many black belt masters might not be your match. But this time... you must listen to me! This Park Chang is truly formidable! He doesn't easily enter the ring, but once he does, he always forces his opponent to sign a life-or-death waiver. In the past few years, he has only fought fourteen matches... but he killed eleven people, and the other three... were left permanently disabled!"

"So?" Ling Qiu smiled.

"So... you cannot accept this challenge!" Cheng Youyou said firmly.

Ling Qiu yawned and brushed it off. "We'll see. Anyway, enough of that. Shen Meng, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, let's go get something to eat."

"You...!"

Watching Ling Qiu walk away, Cheng Youyou stomped her foot in frustration. It was infuriating—why did she care so much about him when he never seemed to appreciate it? She could handle his usual indifference toward her, but today, in front of another girl...

"Hmph! Go ahead and get yourself killed then! I couldn't care less!"

...

The day passed quickly. After lunch and some casual wandering, Ling Qiu and Shen Meng took the subway to the West District. Stepping out of the station, they checked the time—it was 6:30 PM. They should make it to the 7:00 PM gathering in time.

*Ring, ring.*

Shen Meng’s phone rang. She answered it. "Hello? Oh? ...No need to bother, I can just take the bus... I'm... I'm at the subway exit right now... Wait... Hello?"

Hanging up, Shen Meng said helplessly, "Ling Qiu, should we... just wait here? My roommate said her boyfriend is driving over to pick us up."

Ling Qiu replied indifferently, "Sure."
