They would have been sprawled on the floor, and might even be hurt.
Tang Hao shifted his feet and deftly dodged the bicycle.
The cyclist was shocked.
He could not manage to regain control of his bicycle. Instead, he rammed straight into a tree nearby.
Fang Qiming and the other students were stunned when they saw that.
They were prepared to cheer when the bicycle was about to ram Tang Hao. However, that guy managed to dodge it in the nick of time.
“Dammit! His reflexes are too fast!”
“I think he was just lucky!”
“Hmph! You might have dodged this once, but I don’t believe that you can dodge it again!” The corner of Fang Qiming’s eye twitched. His expression became more sinister than ever.
“Are you OK?” Tang Hao jogged over and helped the cyclist to his feet.
“I’m… I’m fine!” The cyclist was a little flustered. He quickly picked up his bicycle and went away hastily.
Tang Hao raised an eyebrow. He understood what was going on.
He had noticed that there was something wrong with the cyclist’s expression earlier and guessed that the cyclist was deliberately ramming him. He was very sure of that when he saw how the cyclist reacted.
His expression returned to normal and he continued walking.
A few steps later, he sensed a commotion on top of him. Then, a basin full of water was poured from above.
Tang Hao tapped his feet and immediately jumped backward.
The water splashed on the ground, sending a burst of steam in all directions.
Tang Hao lifted his head. He saw that a window on the third floor was open and a shadow was hastily retreating from it.
Tang Hao’s expression changed. Once was an isolated incident, but twice meant that there was someone plotting something against him.
Behind the wall, Fang Qiming and the others were stunned again.
‘What just happened?
‘Did he dodge it again?
‘What the hell is going on with him?’
“Hey, who did you pay to carry out the pranks? They’re so incapable!” Someone grumbled.
The corner of Fang Qiming’s eye twitched again and he looked unpleasant. “Don’t worry, there’s still more to come! I don’t believe that he can dodge them all!”
He grinned sinisterly again.
Above Tang Hao, the third-floor and fourth-floor windows all opened. Buckets of hot water poured down like a rainstorm.
“What a spectacle! I’d like to see the kid dodge this!” Someone said as he slapped his thigh, laughing.
Everyone became excited as they prepared to watch the scene unfold.
The water was not boiling but was about seventy degrees Celsius. It would have been a very unpleasant sensation if the water landed on Tang Hao.
Steam from the hot water rose and obscured the surroundings. They could not see clearly what was in front of them.
Then, they looked at the figure standing in the midst of it all and were stunned again.
That figure was still standing there with hot steam rising all around him, but he was not drenched as they expected. He even looked rather collected and cool.
Somehow, he had opened an umbrella from somewhere.
The umbrella was transparent. Beads of water rolled off it and reflected the morning sunlight brilliantly.
He looked unbelievably calm and cool standing there.
Fang Qiming and the others’ mouths opened wider as though they had just seen a ghost.
‘Where did the umbrella come from?
‘Weren’t the past few days sunny? Why did he carry an umbrella?
‘Even if he did, wouldn’t it be in his backpack? So how did he bring out the umbrella from his backpack in such a short time? That’s utterly impossible!’
“F*ck me, where did that umbrella come from?” They exclaimed in surprise.
“This is too uncanny! Just who is he?” Someone said.
Everyone looked at that person. They did not say it, but they agreed with him.
The first time and the second time could be attributed to luck. They could not say the same for the third time.
The commotion had attracted many onlookers.
Tang Hao closed his umbrella and shook the water off. Then, he casually glanced at the corner of the wall.
He grunted slightly, then walked toward the classroom.
The rest of his walk was uneventful. He arrived at the classroom safely.
Just when he was about to push the door handle, he noticed that a gel-like substance was smeared on it.
He smirked, then went into the classroom through the back door.
The boys in the back of the classroom were shocked when they saw Tang Hao coming in through the back door.
That lecture combined several classes. Those boys were not from Tang Hao’s class.
“Why did he come in from the back door?” Someone said.
The people who were waiting for the drama to unfold were immediately dumbstruck.
Chapter 264 - Real-Life Cheat Code
Tang Hao looked around and furrowed his brows.
That was the influence the student council president wielded. Fang Qiming could find people to prank him no matter where he went.
The classroom was abuzz with discussion.
The students in the front turned around and talked to each other. Some of them were curious, while others were envious.
“Over here, Brother Hao!” Cao Fei stood up from one corner of the classroom and shouted at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao quickly walked over there.
The boys from another class looked at him mockingly. Suddenly, one of them stuck out his foot, preparing to trip Tang Hao.
Tang Hao’s eyes narrowed. He continued walking and drove his foot straight into it.
He did not break that guy’s foot, but the kick was strong enough to make that person suffer.
That guy screamed in pain. He clutched his ankle, and his face was already as pale as a sheet.
“Oh, what happened?” Tang Hao pretended to be oblivious. “Are you OK?”
That guy nearly popped a vein when he saw Tang Hao’s behavior.
However, he could not admit that he stuck his foot out to trip Tang Hao.
He tried to bear the excruciating pain. He gritted his teeth and shook his head.
“Oh no! Your foot isn’t looking good! I hope it’s not broken!” Tang Hao bent down and pretended to examine it.
That boy trembled when he heard that, as though his soul was fleeing his body.
“Why are you all still sitting down? Send him to the infirmary, quick!” Tang Hao stood up and told the boys urgently.
The boys sucked in mouthfuls of cold air. They were absolutely aware of what happened.
Tang Hao looked friendly and harmless, but he was extremely intimidating when provoked.
Panic was setting in.
They would not hesitate to bully weaker students, but they became cowards in front of someone who fought back.
The few boys stood up and carried the injured boy to the infirmary.
The classroom instantly descended into silence.
Tang Hao glanced at them coldly, then went toward his classmates and sat down.
“That’s awesome, Brother Hao!”
Cao Fei and the other boys crowded around him and laughed.
Very soon, the four periods of the morning class were over.
Tang Hao went to the cafeteria with Cao Fei and the rest. Many accidents happened on the way there. There were bicycles losing control, or soccer balls flying toward his face.
Tang Hao calmly evaded all of those pranks. He did not seem worried at all.
Cao Fei and the others were surprised by Tang Hao’s agility, not to mention Fang Qiming and his gang who were snooping behind the wall.
Their repeated failures were driving them crazy.
“How could this be?” Fang Qiming’s face was ashen. He
could not believe what he saw.
He had prepared so many pranks, and there should be at least one or two successes. However, none had succeeded since Tang Hao set foot onto the campus grounds that morning.
That guy seemed to have a real-life cheat code. The extent of his power was unfathomable. He managed to dodge or catch everything, no matter whether they were dropped from above or thrown from behind.
‘Is that guy still human?’
Equally shocked was Tang Bowen.
He thought that he was dreaming.
‘Is that guy really my cousin?
‘Since when did my cousin become so powerful?’
They walked across the campus and reached the cafeteria.
Fang Qiming and the others, who were following behind, also reached the cafeteria.
Their expressions were unpleasant.
“It’s all up to you now, Tang Bowen. Don’t disappoint me,” Fang Qiming said.
“Don’t worry, Council President. I’m his cousin and relative. He’ll definitely let his guard down. I can guarantee that I’ll succeed,” Tang Bowen said with a smile.
“Alright! Don’t let me down!”
Tang Bowen went into the cafeteria.
He got his food, then deliberately went close to Tang Hao. “Hey, is that you, Cousin Hao?” He pretended to be surprised.
He even sounded a little happy.
He walked quickly toward Tang Hao with a big smile on his face.
Tang Hao was eating his lunch. He nearly rolled his eyes when he saw who it was.
‘This idiot again!’ He cursed in his heart.
He noticed his cousin Tang Bowen standing next to Fang Qiming that morning. He knew that those two were accomplices.
He also knew that his cousin Bowen had never liked him, and would probably disassociate with him given the chance. Now that he was so eagerly walking toward him, there must be something fishy going on.
Tang Hao did not display his true feelings but instead smiled widely. “It’s you, Cousin Bowen! What a coincidence!”
“Yeah! What a coincidence!” Tang Bowen smiled excitedly.
Cao Fei and the others were looking at Tang Bowen with surprise.
Tang Bowen came over and quickly scanned the place. He noticed the backpack that Tang Hao placed behind him and his eyes sparkled. Then, he sat down next to Tang Hao without invitation.
“Long time no see, Cousin Hao!” Tang Bowen said happily, “I didn’t expect that you’re also a Z University student now. This must be fate! Don’t you think so too, Cousin Hao?”
Tang Hao nodded in agreement.
Tang Bowen was being very friendly, asking Tang Hao whether he could cope with classes. Those who did not know their relationship would have guessed that they were very close cousins.
Someone came by beside them. His hand accidentally slipped and he dropped his tray. The contents of the tray dropped on the floor and some soup even splashed on other people.
It immediately caused a commotion.
Everyone’s attention was attracted to him, including Tang Hao, who turned over to look.
However, he was still keeping a close eye on his cousin.
Tang Bowen took the opportunity to take out something from his backpack and stuff it in Tang Hao’s backpack.
Then, he took something out of his pocket and tossed it into Tang Hao’s drink.
He breathed a sigh of relief when all that was done. He could not hide the glee in his eyes.
Tang Hao turned back around, pretending to be oblivious.
He took his drink in his hand.
He shook it a little and considered the possibilities. Tang Bowen should have spiked his drink with a laxative. It was the best choice of drug to be used as a prank.
‘Two can play this game!’ He thought and his eyes flashed with viciousness.
‘You’re trying to prank me? You’re way too young for this!’
He flicked his wrist and several small bottles appeared in his hand. They contained ground medicinal herb powder.
“Look over there, Cousin Bowen. There’s a hot chick!” Tang Hao tapped Tang Bowen’s shoulder.
“A hot chick? Where?” Tang Bowen’s eyes sparkled and looked at where Tang Hao was pointing.
Tang Hao quickly emptied the contents of those bottles in Tang Bowen’s cup. No one noticed that he did that.
“Wow! She’s pretty hot!”
Tang Bowen ogled at the girl for a while before turning around.
“Hey, Cousin Hao! It’s so rare that we meet. I propose a toast!”
Tang Bowen said to Tang Hao as he lifted his drink.
Tang Hao grinned. He lifted his drink and clinked Tang Bowen’s, then drank a sip.
Tang Bowen also grinned. He took his drink and downed it in one gulp.
Chapter 265 - Who’s the Thief?
“Hey, why aren’t you finishing your drink?” Tang Bowen said nervously when he saw that Tang Hao only took a sip.
Tang Hao smiled. He downed the drink in one gulp.
Tang Bowen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that.
‘It’s gonna happen!’
He almost could not hold back the excitement in his heart.
Then, he sent a text message to Fang Qiming on his phone.
Soon, Fang Qiming and his gang swaggered into the cafeteria.
“It’s Council President Fang!”
There was a small commotion in the cafeteria.
Fang Qiming had an excited expression on his face as he walked over.
Tang Bowen managed to succeed in his mission. All his effort had not gone to waste.
‘This Tang Bowen is pretty useful after all!’ He thought.
He assumed a serious expression when he got close. “Hey you, Tang kid!” He shouted sternly.
The male students behind him spread out in a row. They all looked unfriendly.
All the students were surprised when they saw the formation.
Then, many people understood what was going on.
It was public knowledge that Council President Fang was in love with Beauty Queen Liu. He and Tang Hao were considered love rivals.
Tang Hao lifted his head. “Is there something, Council President Fang?” He asked calmly.
Fang Qiming smirked. “You ought to know why I’m looking for you.
“Tang kid, I didn’t expect you to be a pervert. I feel sorry for Bingyao that she placed her trust in you! I’ll tear apart your gentlemanly disguise and let everyone know how perverted and despicable you are!”
Fang Qiming said indignantly as he pointed a finger at Tang Hao.
The crowd talked among themselves.
“What’s going on?”
“What’s up with that Tang guy?”
Everyone was curious. They stretched their necks and looked at the scene.
Tang Hao chuckled. “Council President Fang, please enlighten me about how perverted and despicable I am!”
“Hmph, you’re still not admitting it? You brought this upon yourself! I’ll expose your misdeeds in front of everyone here so that you can’t argue your way out of this!”
Then, he gestured to the people at his left and right.
Two burly male students stepped forward and grabbed Tang Hao’s backpack.
“What are you doing?” Tang Hao yelled.
“Why? Feeling nervous?” Fang Qiming smirked. “There must be something that you want to hide in there!”
He turned around and addressed the students. “All of you must have heard that there was a lingerie thief in the female dorms yesterday, right?
“I received a tip-off earlier that the culprit is this guy. I suspect that the stolen lingerie is in his backpack.”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they heard that.
Many people looked at Tang Hao with disgust.
However, many others were doubtful of that statement.
Given that Fang Qiming and Tang Hao were love rivals, it was too much of a coincidence.
Tang Bowen stood up. “I was the one who informed Council President Fang. I am Tang Hao’s cousin. I didn’t expect that my cousin is such a despicable person.
“However, since I have discovered that ugly truth about him, I have no other choice but to stop him, no matter how close we are!” He spoke righteously.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise again.
More people believed the claim. If Tang Hao’s cousin was willing to speak up against him, then it was most likely true.
Cao Fei and his friends were confused.
‘Isn’t that guy acting all friendly earlier? How did he change his attitude so fast?’
“Brother Hao!”
They were getting nervous. They knew that it was all a setup! Their Brother Hao was not a lingerie thief!
Tang Hao waved his hand and told them to not be worried.
He slowly stood up, glanced at Tang Bowen, then at Fang Qiming. “Council President Fang, are you claiming that I’m hiding stolen female lingerie in my backpack?”
“That’s right!”
“What if there isn’t?”
“That’s impossible!” Fang Qiming nearly burst out laughing.
He witnessed Tang Bowen plant the item inside. It would be impossible that they did not find it!
“Is that so?” Tang Hao smiled confidently. “Alright, you can open it and see for yourself if it’s like you claimed!”
Then, he put the backpack on the table and pulled open the zipper.
Everyone crowded around, their eyes were glued to the backpack.
Fang Qiming was smiling. He could not wait to see Tang Hao’s face upon the realization that the lingerie was in the backpack.
Tang Hao opened the zipper fully and looked inside. “What are you talking about? There’s nothing unusual in my backpack. All of you can see for yourselves!”
He showed his backpack to everyone.
In the backpack were a few textbooks and a few pens. There was no female lingerie as claimed.
Everyone booed when they saw that.
Fang Qiming’s smile froze on his face.
He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. There was still nothing in the bag except for books and pens.
