Chapter 239 - Girl Under The Tree Shade
Zhong Fabai had called to see if his son himself actually wanted to meet Heibao.
"Heibao Bro's looking for me?" Pinliang paused before answering with no hesitation. "I'll see him!"
Not only was Lin Yi still breathing… he'd sent Heibao Bro back into prison again!! This only intensified his hatred towards Lin Yi, and he wanted to find out exactly how good Lin Yi was to be able to f.u.c.k someone as strong as Heibao Bro up again.
"Alright then, I'll come get you during lunch break. Don't tell anyone else about this." Fabai said, relieved. He'd been worried that his son wouldn't think of the consequences, rejecting Heibao's request- it'd displease Heibao, after all. Although, he was a bit surprised at Pinliang's enthusiasm.
"Got it, dad!" Pinliang hung the phone up before putting a hand to his wound. He grit his teeth as he remembered what had happened yesterday.
He was unconscious when a belt whip came at him all of a sudden! He'd never went through a beating like that before in his whole life, and he was in a fit of rage and shock when Ruoming explained the situation to him. He had Lin Yi to thank!!
Ruoming mistaking him for Tang Yin troubled him, but he couldn't help but be a bit relieved that the guy had just beaten him instead of going on him and calling him 'Tang Yin'... That would've been absolutely disgusting.
His hatred for Lin Yi couldn't be contained any longer!
Lin Yi got up from his seat when fourth period ended, preparing to go to the meeting point when Xiaobo stopped him. "Boss, you going to the toilet?"
"I'm not……" Lin Yi said, speechless.
"Then can you go to the toilet with me..?" Xiaobo asked.
"I have a date…… You go yourself." Lin Yi said with a pat on Xiaobo's shoulder- why was this guy latching onto him today? Couldn't he just go to the washroom alone?
"Ah… Okay then." Xiaobo said, a little embarra.s.sed. "During break then- there's something I need to talk to you about."
"Sure, break then." With that, Lin Yi ran out the cla.s.sroom. Xiaobo had taken up a bit of his time, and he wondered if Tang Yin was waiting for him already.
The sun shone on the field, and there weren't many people around other than a couple of students playing basketball.
Ruoming was going for a slam dunk when he spotted Lin Yi walking out the building- he slipped and landed his a.s.s on the floor, the basketball rolling away from him.
He had a trauma towards Lin Yi at this point- the guy wasn't human! He didn't have evidence to prove that what happened yesterday was Lin Yi's doing, but there wasn't any need for evidence in the first place! Pinliang's Heibao Bro disappeared out of nowhere, and Pinlaing had replaced Tang Yin, unconscious on the floor… Who else could it be, if not Lin Yi? Superman? Ultraman?
Ruoming wasn't expecting Lin Yi to be this insanely strong- seeing Lin Yi reminded him of what he'd planned to do to Tang Yin yesterday, and he slipped as a result, a.s.suming that the guy was coming for him.
Lin Yi only looked coldly at Zou Ruoming- to him, the guy was no different from an ant. Removing him from this world would only take minutes, but it wasn't something he should be doing yet.
He wasn't too familiar with Songshan yet, and he'd rather not get involved into too much stuff and cause too much trouble. There was also his newfound love for school life… He was sick enough as it was at his days of fighting and bloodshed!
After all, Lin Yi was an eighteen year old youth- being immersed in an environment made for eighteen year olds, he couldn't help but gradually lose that seasoned, old, veteran part of him…
He moved over to the small forest near the field- a fine beauty stood there under the shade of the trees, her hair and skirt flowing in the wind… She looked like she was a female lead in a manga or something.
Seeing Lin Yi coming put a slight curve in her lips… She lowered her head shyly.
"Hey, Tang Yin. Sorry I'm late, Kang Xiaobo kept bugging me."
"I just got here too……" Tang Yin said. She took in a big breath before handing the s.h.i.+rt over to Lin Yi. "Here, your s.h.i.+rt… I washed it yesterday……"
"Ah……" Lin Yi hadn't expected Tang Yin to call her over to give him his s.h.i.+rt back. "Why'd you wash it, it wasn't even dirty after you wore it- there was your smell on it……"
"Stop that……" Tang Yin raised her fist shyly, as if to hit Lin Yi. "You're always like this…… Well, I'm going then……"
"Let's walk together- I need to get going too." Lin Yi said, pointing at the school building- it was only natural for them to walk back together.
Tang Yin hesitated, but didn't say anything in response before she started walking with Lin Yi by her side. There weren't a lot of people on the field, but they've all heard the rumors of 'Lin Yin'... They had their doubts, but one look at them walking together solidified the relations.h.i.+p as a fact.
Yet they made sure to stay silent, all aware of the kind of existence Lin Yi was… He was a man who beat Zou Ruoming and Zhong Pinliang up, still walking strong as one of the four tyrants of the school… No one dared point fingers in front of a presence that monstrous.
They were walking past the basketball court when Lin Yi saw w.a.n.g Zhifeng scolding Ruoming and his lackeys, who looked like dogs as the dean lectured them. "You're all here to prepare for college- why even bother if all you're gonna do is smoke and play basketball all day? Get out of the school if you don't wanna study- there's plenty of people waiting to get in!"
Thirteenth grade was under direct control of w.a.n.g Zhifeng, and he had the authority to kick out any student he desired! These students weren't even from their school in the first place, and Zhifeng didn't even need to report it to the heads of the school or even the Ministry of Education.
Lin Yi stopped in his tracks, but Tang Yin wanted to get as far away from Zou Ruoming, as soon as possible… When Lin Yi grabbed her hand out of nowhere.
"Ah!!" Tang Yin's cry attracted both Zhifeng and Ruoming's attention.
Tang Yin and Lin Yi were holding hands at the field, and yet he couldn't do anything about it even when he was just lecturing other students… he was the dean!!
He only nodded at Lin Yi with a smile, hoping he'd pull Tang Yin away from here as soon as possible and go do whatever they wanted with each other, as long as he wasn't there to see it.
Yet Lin Yi started doing the exact opposite- he was pulling Tang Yin in their direction!
Chapter 240 - Public Slap
"Mr. w.a.n.g- you mind if I take up some of your time?" Lin Yi said with as smile.
"Ah… Not at all, not at all……" Zhifeng was quite troubled- it was all because he couldn't keep himself in check and let Lin Yi catch him doing it in the office… He wouldn't have to go through all this otherwise!
Lin Yi nodded, and brought the panicking and struggling Tang Yin over to Zou Ruoming- there was no way she could get herself out of Lin Yi's grip!
She couldn't believe what was happening- she was holding hands with a boy right in front of the dean, the last thing she wanted to happen!! She might even get expelled from the school at this point..! Although, the dean did look as if he didn't see anything, that smile still on his face as he looked at Lin Yi.
To be honest, the fear Tang Yin had towards Zou Ruoming was the traumatic and constant type- she had no idea what the guy would decide to do to her on a whim all of a sudden…
Yet she never had the same kind of fear towards Lin Yi since the start- not in the past, and definitely not now… or ever.
A slap sounded as Lin Yi sent a hand across Ruoming's face.
w.a.n.g Zhifeng was taken aback, Zou Ruoming's lackeys were stunned, and even Tang Yin stared at Lin Yi in disbelief.
Did this guy just slap Zou Ruoming in front of the dean..?
Genuine anger and terror reflected in Ruoming's eyes after he recovered from the shock… He was really starting to fear this Lin Yi now- he was more than just violent, he was a monster!
"Remember that slap, and remember this: Tang Yin's my woman! You so much as touch her again and I'll wipe you off the school." Lin Yi threatened, actually meaning to say 'face of the earth' instead of 'school'.
Tyrant.
Monster.
Insane.
These were what the students present thought of Lin Yi.
Slapping someone in front of the dean… Who else could do something like that? Who'd even dare..?
Yet Lin Yi did exactly that, and the dean wasn't even saying anything!!
The guy even announced that Tang Yin was his woman right in front of w.a.n.g Zhifeng..!!! This was an absolute first in the school's history!!
Even that legendary head of the Big Four wasn't this tyrannical, was he..?
Tang Yin's face was a bright red, a little furious with a tint of happiness… Lin Yi just called her his woman right in front of the dean…
Tang Yin never expected to have that tint of rebellious happiness towards something this insane… She'd always been a goody-two-shoes in the school…
"Alright, Mr. w.a.n.g, carry on. These guys are just looking for a beating, don't you think?" Lin Yi turned to w.a.n.g Zhifeng as if it wasn't him who slapped Ruoming across the face.
"Haha……." Zhifeng chuckled dryly before waving the delinquents away as Lin Yi went back into the school building with Tang Yin.
"Let go……" Tang Yin struggled after recovering from the shock.
Lin Yi was afraid she'd run earlier, after all. He let go of Tang Yin's hand.
"Why'd you say I was your… your woman?" Tang Yin's eyes were wide open as she looked at Lin Yi. "What am I supposed to do now after all that?"
"Ah, I just wanted you to see.. Zou Ruoming isn't scary at all." Lin Yi said, avoiding the question. "I felt your fear towards him, so I wanted to let you know practically that I could beat him up any time I wanted, even if we were right in front of the dean."
"Ah……" Tang Yin blinked- she hadn't expected Lin Yi to have done that for her sake… It touched her, and it was true that Ruoming didn't seem that scary anymore…
An a.s.shole who Lin Yi had shoved off of his altar… who could do nothing but stay silent after Lin Yi had slapped him across the face…
Tang Yin didn't approve of Lin Yi's use of violence, but as the saying went: violence against violence.
"But you didn't have to say that in front of so many people… I'm still a girl, alright..? I'm not as shameless as you!!" Tang Yin said as she tried to hide her feelings.
"Ah……" Lin Yi didn't respond to that. "Let's get going, cla.s.s is starting….."
"Yeah……" Tang Yin just wanted to give a retort, but she didn't really feel like treating Lin Yi the way she'd done before anymore… She didn't even feel against it when Lin Yi had made the announcement. "Ah, right… How'd you… get the poison out of me yesterday?"
Things had been pretty chaotic yesterday, and she never had the chance to ask.
"Ah, that. It's one of the medical ma.s.sages Eastern doctors do, it's like acupuncture." Lin Yi said, naturally leaving the Art of Dragon Mastery part out. She wouldn't understand all that anyway.
"Oh... I see. Then, Lin Yi, do you think you'll be able to heal Fen's condition?" It was something Tang Yin had been thinking about- she didn't know where Lin Yi learned his medical skills, but the guy had proven himself to be quite effective.
There was that time when Fen's illness was acting up, and the way he'd removed the poison from her yesterday. This meant that Lin Yi was good- he might be able to heal Fen.
"I should be, but I can't do that yet…" Lin Yi didn't have anything that could target the nervous system with him at the moment- they were back with Old Lin, who had used it to strengthen Lin Yi's const.i.tution.
To cure Fen's leg, he needed both that and acupuncture- just acupuncture alone wouldn't do much.
"Oh……" Tang Yin nodded disappointedly, a.s.suming that Lin Yi was saying he wasn't capable of a medical feat like that yet.
The school bell rang, and both Lin Yi and Tang Yin quickened their steps. Tang Yin increased her pace all of a sudden as they neared cla.s.s nine, evidently trying to put some distance between Lin Yi and her.
Lin Yi smiled, but didn't try to catch up to her- he waited until she got to her cla.s.s before walking back to his own.
"Boss, you were so cool!" Xiaobo gave Lin Yi a thumbs-up right after he'd seated himself.
"What'd you mean?" Lin Yi paused, wondering if this guy had seen something.
"I was looking out the window from the corridor- you slapped Zou Ruoming right in front of the dean! Boss, you're amazing!" Xiaobo's admiration towards Lin Yi was growing once more.
"Did anyone else see me?" Lin Yi frowned, not expecting Xiaobo to have seen him.
"Nope, just me." Xiaobo replied with a shake of his head.
"Good." Lin Yi let out a breath of relief- it'd be fine as long as the Miss didn't see it… He'd have more trouble to deal with otherwise when he went back home. "By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?"
