Chapter 19: Playing the Shield Again
Holy crap!
Is this the legendary hourglass figure? It’s so slim.

With just one hug, Chen Tianlong couldn’t contain his excitement. He didn’t expect such a lucky encounter today; even going to the bathroom leads to meeting such a stunning beauty.
As Wu Mengting was embraced by Chen Tianlong, she froze for a moment.
A feeling she had never experienced before flowed through her, tingling and very comfortable. Honestly, this was the first time a man hugged her like this, and it was also the first time she felt such a sensation.
So she subconsciously thought that being hugged by any man would feel like this, and without much thought, she walked towards the private room.
The two were very close, and suddenly Chen Tianlong smelled a fragrance wafting towards him. He couldn’t help but sniff and murmur to himself, "It smells so good!"
"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting suddenly raised her head and asked.
"Ah, nothing, I said you’re beautiful, and it’s a great honor to be your fake boyfriend."
"Haha, you’re really good with words. By the way, what’s your name? I almost forgot something so important," Wu Mengting said with a bitter smile.
"Chen Tianlong, the dragon soaring in the sky," Chen Tianlong explained.
"Haha, your name is interesting, I like it." Wu Mengting smiled sweetly, glanced at Chen Tianlong’s face, and then quickly lowered her head, her cheeks flushing warmly.
She didn’t know why, but usually when she saw boys, her face remained calm, and sometimes she even doubted if she was into girls. Now it seems she might have feelings for this guy.
With Wu Mengting’s guidance, they entered a luxurious private room, located just one floor above the ballroom they were in earlier.
As they entered the private room, suddenly a handsome and wealthy man holding a large bouquet of roses quickly walked over, then knelt on one knee and said to Wu Mengting, "Mengting, I like..."
"Ahem, darling, what’s this guy doing? Why did he fall out of nowhere?" Seeing this, Chen Tianlong quickly stepped in front of Wu Mengting.
At this moment, everyone stared wide-eyed. Chen Tianlong’s loud "darling" was deliberate, and the music in the room had stopped, so almost everyone heard it clearly, including the handsome and wealthy man.
The man, named Hao Ren, revealed his identity through his name.
No doubt, he was the cousin of Hao Jian, the young master of the Hao family. He heard of the middle school reunion and thought to take the opportunity to confess to Wu Mengting, whom he had been pursuing, but didn’t expect she already had a boyfriend.
At this moment, Hao Ren wished he could find a hole to crawl into; he hadn’t clarified the situation but had made such an embarrassing joke. At the same time, Hao Ren also hated the guy in front of him who stole his goddess.
Clearly, Wu Mengting was still in shock, though she had long anticipated Hao Ren’s confession, but didn’t expect it to happen under such circumstances.
"Hello everyone, I am Mengting’s boyfriend, Chen Tianlong." Chen Tianlong looked at the stunned crowd, inwardly amused that his performance as the card-toting guy was quite satisfying.
Before everyone could react, Chen Tianlong turned around, gently cupped Wu Mengting’s face, and softly said, "Add a little spice, otherwise he won’t give up."
Wu Mengting froze, clearly not yet reacting, but at that moment, Chen Tianlong’s lips were already on her warm red lips.
Silence,
dead silence.
At this moment, it seemed possible to hear the sound of a heart breaking.
Hao Ren’s eyes widened in disbelief as the two kissed right in front of him. What was the meaning of this? Did they think he wasn’t embarrassed enough?
At this moment, Hao Ren gritted his teeth, hating Chen Tianlong even more.
"Applause!"
Someone started clapping, finally breaking the silence in the private room with a round of applause, followed by a roar and cheers, seemingly turning Hao Jian’s confession into a prank that was quickly forgotten.
After all, no one wanted to stay in such an awkward scene during a class reunion.
Hao Ren awkwardly retreated to the sofa, grabbed a bottle of beer, and started drinking. At this point, the music in the private room started again, and everyone was immersed in merriment.
Wu Mengting’s lips were moist and slightly cool, with a subtle aroma that fascinated Chen Tianlong. Fortunately, everyone was busy having fun and didn’t have time for the couple’s intimacy, which gave Wu Mengting a sense of relief.
After a moment, they finally parted, and Chen Tianlong held Wu Mengting’s hand, walking to a quieter sofa to chat. Everything felt natural.
Meanwhile, Hao Ren in the corner had an increasingly gloomy face.
He had never been so publicly humiliated before. Though he pursued Wu Mengting primarily for her beauty and only for fun, the frustration of having someone take what was supposed to be his woman twisted his thoughts.
"Damn brat, you’ll pay for this later." With a dark expression, Hao Ren muttered and then left the private room, heading to a corner of the restroom where he took out his phone and dialed a number...
After Chen Tianlong sang two love songs with Wu Mengting and drank a bottle of beer, he pretended to have an urgent matter and quickly left the private room. Wu Mengting knew she couldn’t take too much of his time, so before he left, she borrowed his phone to call herself, planning to thank him properly another day.
"Chen Tianlong, where did you go? It’s been so long since you returned." Lu Xiaoyu said with a bit of a complaint, as Liu Wenbin came earlier, intending for Chen Tianlong to block him, yet he was nowhere to be seen for ages.
Luckily, her friend Lin Wushuang was with her, or else Liu Wenbin might have done something.
"Sorry, I had to take care of some business, then smoked inside, so it took some time." Chen Tianlong didn’t tell the two girls about helping Wu Mengting, or else things would get heated later.
After snacking on some fruit, the three decided to leave since Lin Wushuang didn’t like dancing.
But just as the three turned to enter the elevator, Liu Wenbin took out his phone and informed the folks that they had stepped out, instructing them to prepare.
Soon, the three walked out of the hotel and headed to the parking lot nearby. It was already past eleven at night, with darkness everywhere.
"Chen Tianlong, you and Xiaoyu wait here, I’ll go get the car." Lin Wushuang was only accompanying her friend tonight and didn’t drink much, whereas Chen Tianlong drank a lot, worrying about a potential accident.
"OK!" Chen Tianlong understood Lin Wushuang’s intentions and directly handed her the keys.
Just as Lin Wushuang stepped away, a voice suddenly called out from not far away, "Hey beauty, waiting for me?"
At that moment, Chen Tianlong turned around to see a group of slightly drunk guys approaching. There were about seven or eight of them, each with hair dyed a sickly yellow, looking rather unappealing.
