Chapter 20 - New Friend, Harry

Meng Ran woke up from a good night's sleep and turned off his alarm.

Today was Friday, and after class, it was the weekend!

Meng Ran thought about his weekend plans while washing up and brushing his teeth.

Ur had already been dealt with; next up were the rest of the Crocodile Gang.

This weekend was a good opportunity, but he didn't know when they would gather.

Meng Ran had been a bit naive when he'd planned this, as the Crocodile Gang members weren't brainless. They wouldn't just gather around waiting to be taken down.

Thinking back now, it was indeed not very rigorous. He still had to use the clumsy method, it would be a bit troublesome, but he'd have to take them down one by one.

"Sigh, I was too naive, too hasty." Meng Ran spat out the foam from his mouth and went downstairs to eat.

After eating, Meng Ran shouldered his backpack and rode his bicycle towards school.

Usually, Meng Ran would ride his bike to school; it was more convenient. Besides, Meng Ran was in good shape, so he considered it exercise.

\n\n

After putting his bike away at school, Meng Ran strolled towards the classroom.

\n\n

"Hey! Meng, wait up!" Peter called out to Meng Ran from behind.

\n\n

Meng Ran turned around and saw Peter walking over with his backpack. Beside him was a handsome white guy, whose looks were only slightly inferior to his own.

\n\n

Peter walked closer and introduced, "Meng, this is my friend Harry. He's also in our class. He was abroad for a while and just came back."

\n\n

"Harry, this is Meng. He just transferred this semester, and he's also a good friend of mine."

\n\n

Listening to Peter's introduction, Meng Ran extended his hand and smiled, "Hello, I'm Meng Ran."

\n\n

Harry also extended his hand to Meng Ran in a well-mannered way and smiled, "Hi, I'm Harry Osborn."

After introducing themselves, the three of them walked towards the classroom together.

Initially, Harry felt a slight hostility when Peter said Meng Ran was his good friend.

However, Meng Ran's humor, wit, and easygoing nature quickly dispelled Harry's initial animosity.

Heh, I'm a social butterfly! Meng Ran thought to himself as he chatted and laughed with them.

Harry's subtle change in demeanor didn't escape Meng Ran's notice.

But it was understandable, so Meng Ran didn't dwell on it.

This kind of thing was unavoidable. Harry had just returned after being abroad for a while and discovered his best friend, Peter, had found someone else.

It was perfectly normal for him to feel a little down.

Meng Ran and the others chatted as they walked.

Peter said to Harry, his eyebrows raised, "Harry, don't let Meng Ran's gentle, innocent appearance fool you. He's actually quite fierce."

"You remember Flash, right? The tall, muscular guy who doesn't look too bright."

Harry raised an eyebrow. "Of course I remember! Did he try to bully you again while I was gone?"

Peter replied, "No, not at all. That's what I wanted to tell you. Meng Ran taught him a good lesson."

Meng Ran, listening from the side, laughed and waved his hand dismissively.

Harry was surprised. He really hadn't expected that Meng Ran, who seemed so sunny, handsome, and polite, would have given Flash a beating.

To be honest, Harry didn't think Meng Ran could beat the muscle-bound Flash. Although Meng Ran looked fit, he still seemed to be at a disadvantage compared to Flash, who was all muscle and no brains.

Of course, Harry couldn't beat Flash himself. Flash only didn't provoke Harry because of Harry's family background.

Seeing Harry's surprise, Peter's words flowed freely.

He gestured as he told Harry about Meng Ran and Flash's "friendly exchange."

From the initial conflict to the basketball game. Then, Meng Ran's crazy shooting display, and the slam dunk that shattered the backboard.

Even Meng Ran himself listened with great interest.

Mainly because Peter's storytelling ability was really strong.

Meng Ran thought it was a pity Peter didn't go into stand-up comedy, especially if he knew Chinese.

Peter also showed Harry the videos online, and Harry, who initially thought Peter was exaggerating, was convinced after watching the videos.

It wasn't Peter exaggerating; the reality was just that eye-catching.

Harry immediately had a new understanding of Meng Ran. This guy, who looked so sunny and handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could actually be so fierce.

Meng Ran also scratched his head, smiling awkwardly.

Peter was really something, speaking such blatant truths and not being modest at all, making Meng Ran feel embarrassed.

Chatting, they arrived at the classroom, and the group separated, returning to their respective seats.

Meng Ran sat in his seat and saw Gwen, next to him, listlessly resting her head on the desk.

Meng Ran asked with concern, "Hey! Gwen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gwen turned her head and looked at Meng Ran, who was a little worried, and comforted him, "It's okay, I just have a bit of a stomachache."

Actually, yesterday's injury is still aching a little.

Gwen sat up as she spoke and took a sip of the drink Mary brought her.

Seeing Gwen looking uncomfortable, Meng Ran also felt a bit puzzled.

Meng Ran looked at the date again and did some calculations.

"It's not the time of the month yet."

Unable to figure it out, Meng Ran rummaged in his bag and took out a bottle of water. He handed it to Gwen.

Rummaging in the bag was just to cover his tracks; Meng Ran had actually bought a bottle of Mind-Refreshing Water from the system shop.

This water was like some sort of cure-all, capable of alleviating anything and providing some relief.

But it only helped a little, since Meng Ran didn't know the specifics of her symptoms.

Gwen took the water and looked at Meng Ran with some confusion.

Meng Ran explained, "I don't know how to help you, but this water should make you feel a little better."

Gwen, hearing this, opened the water and drank it. After all, it was a gesture of kindness from Meng Ran.

The water didn't have any particular taste, just like normal water. If there was anything different, it was that the water was a little sweet.

It was actually quite delicious and quenched her thirst.

Gwen took a few sips and was surprised to find that her stomach really didn't hurt as much.

Gwen exclaimed, "It really works! I feel much better."

"Thank you, Meng," Gwen said with a sweet smile.

Meng Ran smiled back, "Glad it helped. I have more here."

After saying that, Meng Ran pretended to rummage through his bag and pulled out two bottles of Mind-Refreshing Water, handing them to Gwen.

Gwen wasn't shy and thanked him again before putting the bottles into her bag.

Meng Ran winked at Gwen, and laughed, "Why are you being so polite today, Sichuan girl?"

"Instead of thanks, how about a reward?"

Hearing Meng Ran teasing her, Gwen couldn't help but blush slightly, and glared at him angrily, saying, "Hmph! I was just a little distracted."

"You must be up to no good again. No reward!"

Seeing Gwen regain her vitality, Meng Ran also relaxed and resumed his usual playful banter with Gwen, nurturing their relationship.

Peter, who was in front of them, felt something stir within him upon hearing the laughter behind him.

Maybe I should learn from Meng Ran and try to connect with Mary Jane.

Peter pondered this as he watched Mary Jane, who was currently engrossed in writing and drawing.

After a moment, Peter, having made up his mind, spoke to Mary Jane.

"Hey, Mary, how's that dinosaur egg I gave you last time? Has it hatched?"
