"Well, even though you're putting me down, saying I'm all looks and no substance is a way of saying I'm handsome, so I'm still very happy."
"However, I don't understand why you would cheat on someone if you love them."
This trick isn't new, but it always works.
"That's a problem between me and Chiba, it has nothing to do with you, an outsider."
Feng Zejian's eyelids twitched.
"No, you've already broken up, so why are you still acting like old friends? If we're talking about who's the outsider, then you're definitely the outsider."
"I'm also quite puzzled. You have no family, no looks, no figure, and your education was originally quite good, but how come you seem to be getting worse as you get older?"
Feng Zejian paused for a moment, then changed his words, saying, "That doesn't apply to you. You were better off before than you are now."
"I know you're going to argue with me, but before you do, let me finish what I have to say."
"Actually, I really don't understand. Our principal has a great figure, looks, money, and connections. For her to take a liking to you is truly a stroke of good luck. I don't understand why you would pick up a sesame seed and lose a watermelon. Is it just because that woman agreed to sleep with you?"
"Or do you think you're capable? Do you think you can achieve what you have now even without Chiba Ikeda? Or do you think that even if you cheat, she will forgive you and she will always be there for you as long as you turn back?"
"But the reality seems to be somewhat different from what you imagined. What is too easy to obtain has made you lose interest. Without Chiba Ikeda's help in your life, you find yourself struggling to make ends meet. You slowly come to realize that without Chiba Ikeda, you are just an ordinary person with a high level of education, and even your current educational background was manipulated by Chiba Ikeda."
Feng Zejian shook his head.
"You don't understand yourself at all, and you don't know where your core competitiveness lies. As I said before, you have no money and no looks. The only thing that can attract Chiba Ikeda is your unique scholarly temperament. If you had just been more patient and held on for a few more years, Chiba Ikeda would have married you. At that time, all her resources would have been yours, including her."
"But you rose too fast, and the world of fame and fortune distorted your values. You started to get arrogant and lost sight of yourself. Chiba Ikeda's tolerance made you a little unable to hold back."
"Do you remember the last time we met? You gave off a calm and composed feeling, a sense of confidence, and a carefree attitude of not looking back. Look at you now, you're like a dog that has betrayed its master and is now shamelessly coming back wagging its tail and begging for mercy, rubbing against his pants leg."
"Perhaps you did love Chiba Ikeda in the past, but now, all you love is the resources and connections she has."
Feng Zejian tilted his head and smiled, then started dismantling the exterior.
"Alright, that concludes my remarks. You can now begin refuting me."
Long Tianshui trembled slightly.
Feng Zejian explained him thoroughly, inside and out, leaving him no room for rebuttal.
But having reached this point, Longtian Shuize could not simply sit idly by and wait for its demise.
Chapter 298 What, are you starting to play the emotional card?
"It's another example of your biased and manipulative remarks, made without knowing the full picture. No wonder Chiba is influenced by you. After all this, are you just trying to belittle me and elevate yourselves?"
Long Tianshui smiled confidently:
"I could also say that you are someone who has been entangled with many women and deceived their feelings, and I'm not just guessing, everyone knows about your scandalous affairs."
Kazema looked at Ikeda Chiba with surprise.
"Principal, your ex-boyfriend has a good eye for people, and he even follows gossip."
As he spoke, he glanced at Longtian Water Marsh and sneered:
"The principal's ex-boyfriend, I think you still can't see yourself clearly."
“You shouldn’t compare me to yourself, but since you’re comparing me to yourself, then let’s have a comparison.”
“Fine, let’s compete.” Long Tianshui Ze didn’t seem too convinced.
"It's a fact that I've had many entanglements with women, and they're all aware of my situation. They don't refuse me, so why would I refuse? Wouldn't that be crazy?"
"But you're different. You cheated, you deceived, you betrayed. Putting those two things together, I feel like I'm better than you."
Chiba Ikeda nodded in agreement.
"really."
"Look, even the principal says, let's move on to the next item."
"I'm 1.83 meters tall, what's your height?"
Long Tianshui gritted his teeth.
"1.8 meters tall."
Feng Zejian stood up and took off his shoes as he did so.
Compared to when he was wearing shoes, he was taller by a lot without them, as Feng Zejian measured.
“I am 1.83 meters tall. This piece must be at least five centimeters. 183 minus five, you are 1.78 meters tall including shoes. This is a bit different from 1.8 meters, but it is close to 1.8 meters.”
Even if you're 1.8 meters tall, I think I'm still taller than you.
Long Tianshui's face was gloomy.
"Let's move on to the next item. I'm almost eighteen, how about you?"
Long Tianshui's eyes widened.
"You even compare ages?"
"Why not compare? Do you prefer an eighteen-year-old girl or a sixty-year-old woman? Whether you're a rich man or a rich woman, don't you all prefer someone in their prime, young and strong?"
"I'd round it up to eighteen, but I'll round it to twenty. Whatever you say."
The vast and fertile land remained silent.
He's thirty today, he can't compare to someone who's eighteen.
"I have money, what about you?"
The vast and fertile land remained silent.
The competition continued between Feng and Ze.
"I'm handsome, what about you?"
"..."
"I won't go back to an old flame, but what about you?"
Long Tianshui really wanted to throw a punch at Feng Zejian in front of him.
"It's pointless for you to always compare your strengths to my weaknesses."
Feng Zejian grinned.
"Then why do I have so many advantages? Tell me your advantages and see if you can outdo me."
"My literary cultivation is superior to yours."
Feng Zejian tilted his head.
"Does your literary cultivation teach you to cheat?"
Feng Zejian focused his kicks on the cripple's leg.
"Is there a connection between literary cultivation and infidelity?"
“Isn’t literary cultivation also a kind of cultivation? And cultivation is related to a person. On the other hand, how good can a person’s literary cultivation be if they can’t even be a decent human being? Let alone literary cultivation.”
"So, our next item is a comparison of character. I've donated to orphanages many times, and I have receipts and bank transfer records. What about you?"
Long Tianshui gritted his teeth.
Before she got together with Chiba Ikeda, she was struggling financially, but she still donated money; she even considered fundraising herself.
"Let's compare! If you were Chiba Ikeda, and in front of you were an ordinary ex-boyfriend who had cheated on you and lived off you, and another handsome young man who was strong, had a nice voice, and was caring, who would you choose?"
"Unless Chiba Ikeda has lost his mind, he wouldn't choose you."
Longtian Shuize simply gave up.
"So what? The memories we shared, the time we spent together, the bonds we formed are something you can never compare to. From the very beginning, you were never qualified to stand in front of me."
Feng Zejian smiled.
"What, out of cards to play, resorting to emotional appeals?"
"Even if I'm not qualified, you can play the emotional card, but I can't? You wait and I'll find someone who is qualified."
Feng Zejian took out his phone.
Longtian Shuize immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Who do you want to call?"
Feng Zejian didn't hide anything and said directly:
“I called our principal and asked him to come and judge the matter, to see if he’s qualified.”
"We can't fight."
Feng Zejian frowned. "Why?"
“He is Chiba’s older brother, he is family, and his position is different. Even if you call him over, it doesn’t mean anything.”
Feng Zejian also gained a clear understanding of Longtian Shuize's shamelessness.
"Seriously, your self-deception is way more outrageous than my manipulative remarks."
Kazema looked at Ikeda Chiba.
"Since you're causing so much trouble, then I'll give you a decisive blow, Headmaster, you go ahead."
Aside from that one word of agreement, Chiba Ikeda hadn't said anything else. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk, but she found their argument quite interesting and wanted to watch it go on. However, given the current situation, it was indeed time to end it.
Longtian Shuize looked at Ikeda Chiba with what he thought was a sincere gaze.
"Chiba, I truly love you."
Chiba Ikeda sighed.
"Longtian Water Marsh, I have a thousand reasons to choose Fengzejian, but..."
Chiba Ikeda's pause, and the implied meaning of the word "but," made Ryūten Mizusawa think for a moment that he had won.
“But I also have a thousand reasons not to choose you. We are completely over. You are not the same Ryuten Mizusawa as before, and I am not the same Ikeda Chiba as before. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. You know that there are surveillance cameras in this apartment. I will give you one minute to leave, or I will call the police for trespassing.”
Long Tianshui clenched his fists, feeling somewhat embarrassed and angry at the abrupt turn of events.
"Chiba Ikeda, you..."
Chiba Ikeda looked at the watch on her wrist; the countdown was on.
"Feng Zejian, forty seconds left, get ready to make the call."
Feng Zejian picked up his phone, ready at any moment.
"Chiba, you'll understand later that I'm the best choice for you."
Chiba Ikeda replied calmly, "Thirty seconds."
Long Tianshui had no choice but to give Feng Zejian a fierce look before slinking away.
After making sure the door was closed, Feng Zejian returned to the sofa and sat down.
"This guy is really persistent, but it seems the headmaster has made him mistake me for one of your suitors."
Chiba Ikeda corrected him, "That's what he thought; I was just going along with what he said."
"What you just said has made me feel much better. After you finish eating, I'll call a car to take you home."
Chapter 299 The Most Primitive Communication Between People
Feng Zejian shook his head.
"Headmaster, I'm not leaving today."
Kazema didn't offer much explanation, but Ikeda Chiba was deeply moved.
Some things don't need explaining at all.
"Then let's continue drinking."
"it is good."
Chiba Ikeda looked at Kazesawa, and the strange feeling that had been there before was now slowly spreading.
Reason told her that she seemed to have some special feelings for this young man.
