Chapter 38: League of Poor Students (15)

Cheng Yan knew that Ming Shu didn’t like him, but he couldn’t be afraid of losing face if he wanted to win her.

So Cheng Yan insisted on sending Ming Shu home, not caring for face.

Around the school were dark and narrow alleys where few cars could be seen, only passing pedestrians.

Originally, it was extremely suitable for couples to rendezvous in these kinds of places. However, Ming Shu, who walked ahead, was focused on eating while Cheng Yan wanted to talk to her. So the conversation between them came to an end after several sentences. The two almost couldn’t communicate with each other at all.

It seemed that they lived in two different planets.

And that foodie was extremely arrogant, always feeling superior.

Never judge a book by its cover. One would be cheated by her appearance and die in the end without knowing why.

Cheng Yan felt hopeless. When and how could he succeed in winning her?

Was God kidding with him?

All of a sudden, a flurry of footstep came from ahead and Cheng Yan looked over unconsciously to see a crowd of people carrying knives and walking toward him angrily.

“Cheng Yan!” someone called him.

“Fuck!” Cheng Yan cursed in a low voice, quickly walking forward and catching Ming Shu, who was still ambling along.

Ming Shu looked up and glanced at him with confusion, then looked at the people charging toward them.

Huh!

Are so many people going to frighten me to death to inherit my snacks?

Ming Shu rid herself of Cheng Yan at once and stepped aside quickly, holding her snacks. “I have no relation with him. I don’t know him.”

“…” You can’t do that! Cheng Yan shouted in his mind.

Ming Shu smiled, saying to those people, “If there’s any issue between you and him, get your revenge on him only. I’m just a passerby.”

“Hahaha, Cheng Yan, is she the girl you like?” One person opposite them laughed, sneering with words full of scorn.

As he walked closer, Ming Shu saw him clearly. He was not as attractive as Cheng Yan, but was also handsome. He was tall and strong and dressed all in black, wearing a somewhat scary expression.

“You go first,” Cheng Yan said to Ming Shu.

“Oh.” Holding her snacks, Ming Shu was about to leave.

But the people stopped Ming Shu immediately. “Cheng Yan, how could you ask her to go first? This is an uncommon chance for her to appreciate your heroics.”

“I don’t want to see.” I’m busy. My snacks are waiting for me.

The man snorted, squinting at Ming Shu. “Cheng Yan, where did you find such a timid and careful girl? She doesn’t deserve you.”

“The problem between us has nothing to do with her. Let her go.” Cheng Yan furrowed his eyebrows.

“Nothing to do with her?” The man guffawed. “Is she your girlfriend?”

“Hey, don’t say things randomly.” Ming Shu put her hands up. “I’m not his girlfriend.”

“No?” The man looked Ming Shu up and down with confusion, then laughed suddenly. “Cheng Yan, hahahaha. Why do you like her? How could she say something like that.”

Cheng Yan hadn’t been in a relationship with a girl before. Although he was young, since he had taken this road, the ostentation and extravagance associated with it couldn’t be ignored. But in the past, he was alone whenever he showed up.

However, a girl was with him today and he followed her with such patience. If she wasn’t his girlfriend, who was she?

The man had thought the girl couldn’t be simple. Now it surprised him that she was just a timid and careful girl.

The followers beside the man suddenly stepped forward and caught Ming Shu’s arms on both sides.

“What are you doing?” Even caught, Ming Shu still kept a smile on her face. “I’ve told you, I’m not familiar with him. Deal with him if there’s a problem between you. Don’t involve innocent people, okay?”

I’m just eating. Why am I involved in such evil things?

Can’t I eat in peace?

It’s all because of this troublesome fellow.

“…” Why stare at me? I also didn’t expect to be stopped here , the troublesome Cheng Yan thought.

“Little girl, since you’re involved with someone you shouldn’t be, you have to be prepared for these kind of thins. Do you think I’ll believe that you don’t know him and let you go?” The man’s face became malicious. “Cheng Yan, you only have one choice now. Follow me and we’ll resolve things.”

It seems they won’t finish talking any time soon.

“If I don’t choose, what will happen?”

“Well, your beautiful girlfriend will come with me.”

Can’t they get this over with?

Ming Shu was almost going crazy, but Cheng Yan was still chatting with that guy. When the man and Cheng Yan couldn’t come to an agreement, a painful shout suddenly rang out.

The two who’d been restraining Ming Shu fell to the ground.

The petite girl was kicking one of them. “Who allowed you to touch my snacks!”

“…” All were silent.

Hey, she looked so weak before!

Why is she so fierce now?

Cheng Yan laid his hand against his forehead, speechless. She looked weak, but when someone touched her snacks, she would become fierce as if possessed by Ares.

“What are you looking at?” Ming Shu turned her head and looked at the man who’d been speaking to Cheng Yan. “Do you want to get hit?”

“…” He had treated her like a docile sheep, but actually she was a tigress. He sneered and thought in his heart, Knowing a little Kung Fu, you just don’t appreciate how powerful others are . “What are you doing? Catch her.”

Ming Shu smiled strangely. Fighting is good. It’s entertaining.

She threw the snacks aside and rolled her sleeves up in preparation for a brawl.

I would have eaten a hundred bags of snacks if I didn’t have to beat you today.

Seeing that a girl was fighting with a crowd of men, Cheng Yan felt complicated.

Hey, what happened to the plot of the hero rescuing the damsel?

This isn’t how it should be!

…

It was dark and the wind was strong; no stars could be seen in the sky.

The cold wind blew past the red and blue lights. A crowd of people squatted on the road, hands on their heads, and fielded questions from policemen.

Ming Shu sat in front of her snacks, eating to replenish her strength. She asked Cheng Yan who was guarding his life. “Did you call the police?”

Cheng Yan answered, “Do you think I would call the police?”

He was a bully, would he ever do that?

“Wasn’t it you?” Cheng Yan thought it was more likely that Ming Shu had called the police. She always seemed to want to do that before.

Ming Shu smiled. “Am I foolish?”

She’d participated in such a serious altercation, so why would she call the police?

“You two, what are you talking about? Don’t whisper to each other!” a policeman shouted suddenly. Because of that, Ming Shu’s hands jerked and her chips almost fell to ground.

She stuffed the chips in her mouth quickly as the policeman walked toward her. “What are you doing?”

Ming Shu put down the chips calmly. “Sir, I’ll report what happened just now.”

Hearing that, the policeman decided not to blame her for eating just now. Glancing at his busy colleague, he took out a notepad and said, “Explain.”

“The truth is that… blah blah blah… blah blah blah… blah blah blah… In conclusion, they attacked first and I just protected myself.” Goblin of Acting Ming Shu told the policeman that a crowd of people was about to be impolite to a girl and she herself was just a poor innocent who beat others in self-defense.

The policeman was astonished. When they arrived, they saw this girl hitting people.

Ming Shu continued: “I just learned some Kung Fu. If I were a weak girl, you might be looking at my corpse.”
