"Stop!"
Ye Fei couldn't bear to watch anymore. He quickly walked over and pushed the thug away. Then he looked around at the bystanders and loudly said, "What's wrong with you? Your cla.s.smate is being beaten, and you just stand there? Don't you have any decency?"
The students shrunk back in shame, their faces red. However, none of the bystanders stepped forward to help the poor student, because they were afraid to single themselves out from the crowd.
Only Qin Xiaomeng selflessly ran over to help him up, regardless of his unpleasant odor.
When the boy saw Qin Xiaomeng, his facial expression changed slightly and he hurriedly pushed away her hand, whispering, "Don't... Don't touch me."
"Why?"
Qin Xiaomeng tilted her head, but she did not give up. She took out her handkerchief and helped him wipe off the blood on his head.
"Because... I'm dirty." The poor student's voice was barely audible, like a mouse's squeak. His bowed head nearly touched the ground.
In her rage, Qin Xiaomeng forgot her usual mild demeanor: "Who the f.u.c.k dared to say you are dirty? I'll show him!"
The poor student immediately looked up, his face full of disbelief.
Qin Xiaomeng was the Campus Belle of Shanghai University, the G.o.ddess of countless boys' hearts, simply a synonym for perfection. She was a G.o.ddess in his mind too, of course.
Qin Xiaomeng smiled, "See, I can talk dirty, now I can touch you."
Then, she helped him get up and sit on a chair, and used her white handkerchief to soak up his blood.
"How dare you shove your nose in my business!?"
The gangsters' leader was ready to give the beautiful girl a lesson when a student in basketball clothes behind him suddenly pointed to Ye Fei and said, "Boss Hu, it was him! He's the one who hurt young master Wu in the morning!"
Boss Hu quickly changed his focus and stomped toward Ye Fei, arrogantly saying, "You're Ye Fei, huh? You hurt young master Wu and sent him to the hospital?"
Ye Fei suddenly understood - these thugs were there for him. That poor student had b.u.mped into them and got beat up by sheer bad luck.
"I don't know a young master Wu," he told the truth. This was Ye Fei's first day in Shanghai University, so he really had no idea know who young master Wu was.
"Bulls.h.i.+t! You were the one who hurt young master Wu when you were playing basketball this morning!" the student behind boss Hu shouted.
Ye Fei scratched his for a moment, and suddenly understood. "Oh, you mean that Wu Haomin guy? Yes, I hurt him, so what?"
Hearing him admit it, Qin Xiaomeng quickly chimed in, "Hey, injuries happen in basketball. I can testify that Wu Haomin was hurt by accident!"
The young man called boss Hu ignored Qin Xiaomeng and took a step closer to Ye Fei, "You are very full of yourself, boy. Don't you know who Wu Haomin is?"
"Who cares?" Ye Fei said coldly.
Veins began popping out on Boss Hu's forehead. "You son of a b.i.t.c.h, how dare you hit young master Wu? Don't you know who young master Wu is? Are you trying to get killed? Don't think I won't beat you to a pulp because this is a school! You've made the Buddha very angry, so I'mma break your legs, boy!"
Ye Fei frowned. He had no idea who 'the Buddha' was, but seeing this young man's arrogance, he surmised the Wu family must be very powerful and influential in Shanghai.
Lin Qingwan also frowned and looked quite surprised at the mention of the Buddha.
Of course, no matter how powerful the Wus were, Ye Fei was not afraid of them. In any case, those young men in front of him were nothing but common mobsters who were not a threat to him at all.
"If you want to fight, I will fight with you," Ye Fei said softly, "but this is the cafeteria, not an arena. If you want to fight, meet me outside!"
Boss Hu stuck up his nose and snorted, "You must be tired of living, boy! Who the f.u.c.k do you think you are? I'll teach you your place right here in front of all your student friends!"
He seemed to think Ye Fei was a student at Shanghai University. He not only wanted to beat him up, but to do so in public so that Ye Fei couldn't show his face on campus anymore.
As the last word left his mouth, he suddenly sent a kick flying towards Ye Fei's face.
However, Ye Fei remained unfazed. He deftly caught Boss Hu's ankle just inches from his face and quickly stepped back, destabilizing his center of gravity until he was doing a split on the floor.
With a sharp tearing sound, Boss Hu's trousers ripped at the crotch, revealing his red underpants embroidered with the character for 'blessing'.
This year was his birth year in the Chinese zodiac, so he wore the lucky red underpants to ward off evil.
Boss Hu did not also antic.i.p.ate that Ye Fei would not be afraid of him. Steam blowing out of his ears, he tried to stand up but felt a dull pain in his crotch, so he roared, "You son of a b.i.t.c.h! You dare to fight with me?! Brothers, kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
Behind Boss Hu was a red-haired youth, who impatiently reached behind him and took out a steel pipe from his belt, swinging directly at Ye Fei's head.
Ye Fei frowned. These guys were well prepared and it looked like they really wanted to kill him. That steel pipe was from a construction site, probably the thickness of a wrist. A thwack across the head with something like that would finish him off immediately.
