Chapter 143 - Save You
A video of Mu Huan beating up the street thugs last night had been recorded and posted to their college’s online forum by a fellow college student. Since it was something that happened near the school, many students had suffered harassment from those thugs. Hence, when they realized that it was a female who had beaten the daylights out of the baddies, that video became the top trending post overnight.
In the video, Mu Huan was wearing a cap and a mask. Those had concealed most of her face, so all that was left exposed were those bright eyes of hers.
It just so happened that, when Long Feiting leaned over to look at that video, he noticed that fierce look she got in her eyes while beating up the hoodlums. In his agitation, he snatched the phone away from its owner at once.
“You—” That guy wanted to take his phone back, but a fierce glare from the other rendered him scared stiff.
After he finished watching the video, he replayed it again and managed to confirm that the protagonist of the video was Song Xing from that night — the person he was looking for!
And so, he tossed the phone back to its owner and dashed out of the canteen, his departure causing yet another commotion in there.
…
It was only after running out of the college compound that Mu Huan and Li Meng felt relieved.
After resting for a bit, the latter pointed out, “It seems that he didn’t recognize you.”
“Yeah.”
“Still, it was such a close shave! My heart nearly stopped beating when he stopped right beside us!” She was still grappling with her fear as she recalled that intense moment.
“I wouldn’t have smashed his car if I had known that he’s a schoolmate. Gosh, impulse is a devil, indeed!” Mu Huan was frustrated with herself for being so impulsive back then.
“He cheated you out of your prize money, and you had coughed up blood out of anger because of this!” Even Li Meng could not help feeling heartache on her bestie’s behalf at the thought of that sum of money. It’s 500,000 yuan!
“I’ll have to maintain a low profile at school from now on! Should those two pesky flies come buzzing around me again, I’ll bear with them as much as possible and, if I reach my limits, I’ll bring them to a secluded corner and give them a good thrashing!” snarled the other girl.
“Yep, do that! What an irritating pair of lowlifes!” Li Meng had never met anyone as shameless as that couple.
“Ahh~ Long Feiting is really handsome, though! Even I can’t help wishing I could throw myself into his embrace!” She turned starry-eyed with infatuation as she recalled the guy’s looks.
“Go on! Quickly do that! Go take him down and have him so mesmerized with you to the point that he won’t pursue the matter of us smashing his car when he finds out about our identity!” urged Mu Huan abruptly with great excitement.
Li Meng rolled her eyes at her. “Who do you think I am? The campus belle or Marilyn Monroe? How am I supposed to mesmerize our school’s Prince Charming with this average temperament and looks of mine?”
She had always been a timid yet lustful person whose words did not match her actions. Despite her claim of wanting to take down the guy, she would never dare to touch even a fingertip of his if he were to be placed right in front of her.
“You’re such a cute- and pretty-looking girl with a pure temperament and a curvaceous figure! Why isn’t it possible?!” In Mu Huan’s eyes, her friend was naturally good in every aspect!
Delighted by her remarks, her friend threw her arms around her neck. “Even though I’m indeed rather pretty-looking, I don’t have the capability to take him down, so it’d be better if we stick to keeping a low profile at school instead!”
That had her becoming listless once more.
After Li Meng had left, Mu Huan ate up two whole cones of ice cream, but it still did not help in dissipating her gloomy mood.
She, therefore, pulled out her phone to send a WeChat message to her husband. “If your nephew and I were to fall into the sea at the same time, who would you save?”
If Gu Chenyi were to keep picking trouble with her to the point that she reached her tolerance limits and was unable to bear with him on her husband’s account, she might really resort to violence on him.
Bao Junyan, who was in the middle of reading documents, was stumped when he read her message. What kind of question is this?
Why is she asking such a question?
Nevertheless, he replied, “I’ll save you.”
