Return to the City: The Strongest King

The people passing by the entrance of the girls' dormitory were all curious at this moment.

Everyone knew that Qi Lanqin didn't have a boyfriend. Now, suddenly seeing her appear so passionate with a man made everyone speculate about the relationship between Song Xiaodong and Qi Lanqin.

"You have nothing to do today, right?" Song Xiaodong asked again.

Qi Lanqin quickly replied, "Nothing."

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I'll take you out to eat and maybe watch a movie."

"Ah..." Having a meal seemed normal to Qi Lanqin, but watching a movie made her feel slightly uneasy. Still, she nodded gently and blushingly said, "Okay...sure."

This statement from Song Xiaodong also made people quickly understand their relationship. Relatives wouldn't go to the movies together, only couples would.

Chu Yuanqing's face turned dark, and he immediately stepped forward, blocking Song Xiaodong and Qi Lanqin, and said sternly, "Kid, where did you come from?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Song Xiaodong asked casually.

Chu Yuanqing's eyes widened arrogantly as he said, "Qi Lanqin is mine, and I won't allow anyone to touch her!"

Qi Lanqin's face changed, and she looked at Song Xiaodong with some panic, hurriedly saying, "Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with you."

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, put an arm around Qi Lanqin's shoulder, and said, "I know."

Qi Lanqin stiffened slightly, but the smile on Song Xiaodong's face made her feel at ease, and she gave him a sweet smile.

Seeing Song Xiaodong put an arm around Qi Lanqin, Chu Yuanqing's forehead veins popped out. For him, at the school, it's not about pursuing girls; if he's willing, many girls would throw themselves at him.

Pursuing Qi Lanqin was not only because she was beautiful but because she never had a boyfriend. Winning her over would bring a sense of achievement. After chasing her for some time, now a man came out of nowhere to steal her. How could he tolerate that?

"Kid, you better stay away from Qi Lanqin. Competing with me over a woman, do you think you have the skills, the means?"

"Oh? Are you threatening me?" Song Xiaodong squinted at Chu Yuanqing.

Chu Yuanqing laughed and said, "You can take it as a threat if you want. Here, I'm telling you, if you want to snatch a woman from me, you're not qualified."

Qi Lanqin knew something about Chu Yuanqing, but compared to Song Xiaodong, he was nothing. After all, they were schoolmates, and she didn't want to cause Song Xiaodong to deal with fellow students because of her.

This wasn't about Qi Lanqin protecting Chu Yuanqing; she was just kind-hearted and didn't want anyone to get hurt. She quickly said to Song Xiaodong, "Big Brother Song, let's go."

Song Xiaodong, who was now a university teacher, was somewhat familiar with the recklessness and arrogance of these young people in college.

Given his status, he wouldn't take a student seriously. He smiled faintly and said, "Alright, let's go."

Chu Yuanqing blocked their way again, staring at Song Xiaodong and said, "Are you sure... you want to compete with me for Qi Lanqin?"

Song Xiaodong, half amused, half exasperated, said, "Kid, just because you're pursuing her doesn't mean she's yours. There are many things in this world that you can't have just because you like them."

Chu Yuanqing sneered, "Maybe I can't have others, but no one can stop me from getting Qi Lanqin. If anyone tries... they'll be digging their own grave."

Song Xiaodong frowned slightly and said, "Then do whatever you like, Lanqin, let's go."

As Song Xiaodong spoke, he put an arm around Qi Lanqin and walked straight toward Chu Yuanqing. Chu Yuanqing stood there unmoved; he didn't believe this guy dared to do anything to him. At this school, he only needed to summon some people, and a group would come to help.

However, Song Xiaodong didn't push him, just lightly bumped his shoulder, and he involuntarily moved aside a couple of steps, watching Song Xiaodong and Qi Lanqin walk straight away. Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet

"Damn it!" Chu Yuanqing cursed harshly, feeling that all the eyes around him carried a sense of mockery, which made him furious. He shouted loudly, "What are you looking at? No one can take away the woman I desire."

Chu Yuanqing jumped into his car, started it, and followed Song Xiaodong and Qi Lanqin while pulling out his phone.

"Gangzi, someone is competing with me for Qi Lanqin. Gather a few brothers immediately; I want to teach him a good lesson... I'll tell you where to go later. Just find the people first."

After hanging up, Chu Yuanqing's face twisted even more, gritting his teeth, "Kid, you're digging your own grave."

Seeing a car following them, Qi Lanqin couldn't help but notice and glanced back, saying, "Big Brother Song, he's still following us."

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Let him follow then."

Qi Lanqin said in a soft voice, "Big Brother Song, he's just pursuing me, but I didn't agree to it, not even paying attention to him. You don't need to be mad at him."

Listening to Qi Lanqin explain, Song Xiaodong chuckled softly and said, "Would I not trust you? Actually, I came over because I feel that I want you to be my wife in the future, but if I don't pursue you or have a love story with you, I'd be too presumptuous, and you'll have a big regret in your life."

Qi Lanqin's face flushed instantly, and she stammered, "Big Brother Song... you... you don't need to do this."

Song Xiaodong said tenderly, "Lanqin, I know your feelings for me now: part gratitude for my help and part due to our status. I don't want us to be together in the future with such a burden. You wouldn't be happy, and I don't want my woman to be unhappy. I want you to be happy with me, so I must try hard and win your heart."

Qi Lanqin felt warmth in her heart. Given Song Xiaodong's status, her perception was that if he beckoned, she had to go. But now, since he thought this way, it really gave her enough respect, making her feel moved, "Big Brother Song, you're so good to me."

Song Xiaodong's voice was even softer, "I have to do this. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to our parents, right?"

Qi Lanqin gently agreed, glancing at Song Xiaodong, leaning closer to him.

Watching the intimacy between Song Xiaodong and Qi Lanqin, Chu Yuanqing driving behind had reddened eyes, hating that he couldn't just step on the gas pedal and crash into Song Xiaodong right there.
