The Tycoon Inheritance [SaMpLe]

28.

'System, when did my life become a rushed system plot? This... I can't believe there's a setting like this for humans.' Chen Kai was genuinely curious about the group in front of him.

[This stems from their upbringing and their high self-esteem tied to their parents' wealth. It's pretty common amongst high society and those who usher in newfound wealth.]

'You're right. It's still amusing though.' To him, this scene was quite novel to him. Social interactions with peers at such a young age were scarce to him over the years. Interacting with them pleased him greatly. He no longer has to place his entire attention on missions and problems, he can experience a normal social life.

It started as a simple meet-up with the girls at the sports center but it turned out to be a challenge to prove who was the better Alpha male.

Like hell, he will mess up his clothes for a silly game. 

Chen Kai denied the request upon the challenger's last word.

When he thought it would end there, the kid and his cronies began their mockery show. 

It was truly immature.

The girls felt secondhand embarrassment because they understood Chen Kai's refusal and his way of doing things. The gift of understanding language is very selective and, unfortunately, this group of boys wasn't the chosen one. 

Chen Kai on the other hand showed them how one person can express themselves without words. 
When he was approached by the athletic, arrogant second-generation young master, he wore an amicable smile and his dark eyes were clear. It didn't change when he was asked, "Student Chen, do you want to play a little one-on-one with me?"
Obviously, he refused, they had an outing that was meticulously planned. The girls inwardly admonished them for cutting into their time for shopping.

"Sorry, I don't want to play." < The answer is simple, right? Anyone can understand it, right?

"Oh! So you can't play basketball."

Chen Kai:  "..."

The girls: "..."

"Ummm... I can play but I don't want to." Chen Kai was curious about this misunderstanding.

"Look at that, Brother He. Wear some brand name clothes and he thinks he's one of us. He's still a low-class brat who doesn't know anything. Now he has the audacity to turn up his nose and refuse us when knowing he can't play."    "A poser. It was obvious from the start."   "I feel sorry for our school belles for being misled by such scum."

Chen Kai's eyes became brighter, he was truly curious about the show that the group was putting on. Their words were hitting cotton and it was embarrassing for the onlookers.

Behind him was Su Li and the other girls. Da Mei was a stickler for time and saw how useless the present play was. She nudged Su Li who looked at her distractedly. The others saw her present state and shook their heads. The poor girl was an avid fan of Student Chen. Presently her eyes were filled with stars as she glanced at Chen Kai. Thank heavens her admiration for him was a healthy one.

"What is it?" Su Li asked.

"We're going to be late. Who knows if someone claimed the apartments already," Da Mei complained.

"Oh! Right!" Su Li came out of her fan girl persona and resumed the role of friend. She stretched her hand forward and tugged at the hem of Chen Kai's t-shirt. 
"Brother Chen."

Even though her tone of voice was soft, he heard her. Looking over his shoulder, he gave a smile of askance. 

"We're going to be late." Su Li couldn't stop the blush spreading across her cheek when she witnessed such a carefree, playful smile on her crush's lips.
