Translator:?Sparrow Translations??Editor:?Sparrow Translations
Even though Tang ng could hardly conceal his awkwardness and rage, the greatest emotion he was feeling at that mont in his heart was shock. What was going on with Ling Yun? This was just too unbelievable!
Tang ng could not help but re-evaluate the fatty before his eyes. This fat turd who was wearing a severely undersized uniform. The uniform was so tight that it clung to his body. It looked really comical.
His face looked the sa. However, Tang ng realized that the look in his eyes had changed.
The weakness in his eyes was gone. So was the inferiority complex that he had. Ling Yun no longer saw himself as a small and insignificant person. Replacing it was neither arrogance nor pride. Instead, all that remained was a calm and collected gaze. In Ling Yun’s pristine eyes, there was a sense of indifference to things and occasionally a flash of self-mockery. However, there was a sense of benevolence. It was as if Ling Yun had lived through countless ups and downs, having seen so many different ways of living that what laid before his eyes was nothing in comparison. That was what Ling Yun’s eyes seed to be telling Tang ng.
If Tang ng were to spot another difference in Ling Yun, that would be that air around Ling Yun. There was a clean and refreshing feel around Ling Yun. It was a kind of charisma that attracted and made people want to interact with him.
In contrast, he also seed to give off an image of detachnt. This contradiction caused people to be in a dilemma.
This brat… Tang ng cursed in his heart. With that, he decided not to talk anymore as he ate in silence.
Noticing that Ning Lingyu was crying, Ling Yun gently turned towards her. He put down his chopsticks and wiped her tears with his right hand.
“First you laugh, now you cry. You’re still the sa as before! Now hurry and eat before the food gets cold…” Ling Yun directed towards his sister with a gentle and caring voice.
Ning Lingyu’s heart felt fuzzy and warm as she pouted playfully at her brother. She looked stunning.
Zhang Ling felt shaken as she questioned herself. Was this really the sa useless Ling Yun from her class? The guy before her who schooled Tang ng with every phrase that escaped his mouth. The guy who could make Ning Lingyu smile and cry with just a single phrase. Was this truly Ling Yun? The word ‘shock’ was an understatent.
If Ling Yun was just a bit slimr, he would have been the ideal older brother!
Zhang Ling was so distracted by Ling Yun that she did not even notice that Cao Shanshan had sat down directly across her.
“What’s up? What are you daydreaming about?” Cao Shanshan asked Zhang Ling. At the sa ti, she waved her snow-white hand in front of her friend, trying to get her attention. It was then that Zhang Ling realized she was in a daze. She imdiately sat up straight and pointed her index finger leftwards.
“Tang ng? I already saw him, he cos here for lunch frequently. What’s new about…” Cao Shanshan replied halfway before stopping in shock. She noticed that Ling Yun was sitting beside her. After looking further, she saw that even Ning Lingyu was here.
What the h*ll was going on? Ning Lingyu rarely visited the second floor and she was actually eating with Tang ng? What shocked Cao Shanshan the most was the fact that Ling Yun was actually sitting beside her. Ling Yun seed undisturbed as he continued to wolf down his food.
After running 4.4 kiloters with a 25kg sandbag, Ling Yun was actually sitting there and enjoying his al. If Cao Tianlong was here, he would surely have fainted on the spot for days.
Not far from where Cao Shanshan sat, light laughter and loud chattering could be heard. So were trying to get the belle’s attention while others were just hoping for a show to watch.
“Have you ordered?” Cao Shanshan asked.
“Yes, Sichuan boiled fish with beef and ox tongue in chili sauce…”
“Hold on,” Cao Shanshan said with a nod of her head as she stood up. Her ripe and ravishing body dazzled the surrounding students. Unaffected by the eyes of others, Cao Shanshan held onto her exquisite LV handbag as she walked to Tang ng.
“Move inside!” Cao Shanshan ordered Tang ng, who was consuming his al with wild fervor.
Such dauntlessness! Such bravery and such oppressiveness!
Tang ng almost felt tears in his eyes. What an unlucky year! What sin had he committed to deserve such disrespect? He was still one of the four scariest young masters of the school even if it was just a na. Tang ng had no choice but to relent. He heard that those that provoked Cao Shanshan’s wrath all suffered terrible consequences. So were let off lightly with bruised and swollen faces while others were sent to the hospital to rest and for rehabilitation.
Thus, Tang ng complied and moved his food to the very corner of that table. However, Tang ng actually wanted to express his gratitude to Cao Shanshan. This was because he was directly facing Ning Lingyu now. He could enjoy his al while having a good look at Ning Lingyu’s beautiful and innocent face. For Tang ng, he was now in his own world. He imagined that he was alone with Ning Lingyu, having a candlelit dinner. Sadly, Cao Shanshan was not done with him yet.
Cao Shanshan took out an exquisite purse from her LV bag and counted $1000. Then, she slamd it onto the table and awakened Tang ng from his daydream.
“Look! Here’s the $1000 I lost to you!”
He didn’t care about who the person was or the person’s status. As long as soone lost the bet, Tang ng would collect their money without any hesitation. That was his motto as the Little Gambling God.
However, before Tang ng even had the chance to collect the money, the sa chubby hand stretched out really quickly and took the $1000 away.
“Gah…” Tang ng uttered incomprehensibly with his mouth agape. The money belonged to him!
“Brother…” Ning Lingyu muttered as she felt a bit shaful of her brother. At the mont, the big, tall and perfect image she had of her brother vanished.
“You…” Cao Shanshan was at a loss for words. How is that different from robbery? Does this guy have no morals? Where is the respect I deserve? Cao Shanshan was screaming in her mind.
Cao Shanshan was boiling with anger. The incident that morning was not even over and now he had the guts to snatch her money?
Zhang Ling felt like laughing after seeing Cao Shanshan’s amusing surprised expression. She was also looking forward to seeing how this confrontation would unfold after experiencing Ling Yun’s stubbornness herself. Zhang Ling looked on as she wondered what would result from this battle.
Ling Yun, in contrast, was unresponsive to everyone’s expressions as he made sure that the money was comfortably in his pocket before picking up his chopsticks and continuing his al.
Tang ng wanted to be the first to confront Ling Yun but once he saw the two belle’s facial expressions, he knew doing so would only end up incurring their wrath. Thus, he chose to wait in silence.
“Return the money, brother! That really belongs to Tang ng, he already returned every cent he owed just now…” Ning Lingyu said anxiously as she tried to persuade Ling Yun to return the money. If what Ling Yun did was told to the whole school, she would be too ashad to face anyone.
Tang ng cried tears of joy in his heart. Finally, there was soone who was on his side!
With an unperturbed look, Ling Yun replied, “It is true that he has returned everything he lost to us in the bet?”
Then, he added, “But he has not given the reward that I rightfully deserve yet. Am I right?”
Tang ng was stunned. What was this fat bloke saying? What reward did he deserve?
Ling Yun smiled innocently as if to show everyone he ant no harm.
“I an you did use to set up a gamble so it’s only right for , who ran for my dear life, to get so commission, right?”
What?! Tang ng almost went crazy after hearing what ca out of Ling Yun’s mouth. Ling Yun was the one that wanted to run and he had no hand in it. How could this fat turd be so thick-skinned and insensitive?
Even in a soccer match, the lottery firm that opens bets had no obligation to pay the soccer team any form of reward! (Of course, this was excluding those that fix matches.
Besides Tang ng, even Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling were dumbfounded by how thick-skinned Ling Yun was.
After hearing her brother’s argunt, Ning Lingyu no longer knew who to speak for. Even though she knew her brother’s argunt was unreasonable, he was still her brother!
“If you’re unhappy, you can just do the sa thing as . Finish eleven rounds with the sa sandbag. With that, we would be even and I will return you the $1000!” Ling Yun exclaid as if that was the most natural thing to do. Having finished his speech, Ling Yun resud eating voraciously and ignored the two of them across the table. At the sa ti, the second and third dishes were served. The aroma of the dishes pervaded the whole table.
Cao Shanshan was consud by rage. She was angry as Ling Yun had snatched the money and used an illogical reason to justify himself. However, the main reason she was so angry was the fact that she was being disregarded by Ling Yun. Ever since she sat there across Ling Yun, he did not even bother to look at her once. He ignored Cao Shanshan, who was from the prestigious Cao family renowned throughout China. She was also one of the belles in Qing Shui High. This was a humiliation that Cao Shanshan could not swallow. In anger, she straightened her back, puffed up her chest and glared at Ling Yun.
Cao Shanshan could not believe that this was the sa timid Ling Yun that could only follow her quietly after they had finished their late night study yesterday. To talk to her with such contempt was unacceptable! Zhang Ling had the sa thoughts but the person before them was truly none other than Ling Yun.
“Ling Yun! What’s the aning of this?” Cao Shanshan hollered after seeing that Ling Yun was only interested in eating and did not even bother to give her any attention. Cao Shanshan was like an enraged lioness that could not wait to devour Ling Yun whole. Her voice resonated through the whole second-floor cafeteria. In a flash, everyone’s eyes were focused on her. Young Master Tang seed pleased with the turn of events. You shaless and despicable brat! Now you have incurred the belle’s wrath! Let’s see how you wriggle your way out of this crisis, huh! Tang ng thought with glee in his heart.
Ling Yun frowned and complained, “I finally got to enjoy a free feast but I can’t even eat in peace. Who is this crazy lady shouting at for no good reason?” As Ling Yun lifted his head from his bowl to look at who was shouting at him, his eyes stopped at Cao Shanshan’s puffed up chest.
“Oh, nice… What big perky breasts you got there…” Ling Yun muttered as he continued chewing the pork ribs in his mouth. Even though his voice was muffled from the chewing, the phrase, ‘big perky breasts’ could not escape Cao Shanshan’s ears.
“What?!” Cao Shanshan exclaid angrily in disbelief. As she followed the direction of Ling Yun’s gaze she imdiately understood what he ant. She felt like she was going insane. The rumors were true after all, this scoundrel had lecherous thoughts towards her.
“What I said does not matter, what matters is who are you? Uhm… what’s your na again… Tang ng, is this lady your girlfriend?” Ling Yun asked nonchalantly. In all honesty, Ling Yun was not feigning ignorance. Other than Ning Lingyu and their mother, everyone that the past Ling Yun had known was a blur. Even for those that bullied Ling Yun, all he could rember was their faces and the fact that he had been bullied by them in the past.
Now, the real show was finally starting!
There was an uproar as people gathered nearer to the cafeteria on the second floor to see the show unfold.
