“Ga…. cough, cough…” Tang ng startled as he almost had a bone stuck in his throat.
He had not expected that.
Cao Shanshan and my girlfriend look so different. Who would possibly mix them up? Tang ng thought to himself.
anwhile, Ling Yun continued acting as if he did not know who Cao Shanshan was. Cao Shanshan was infuriated and the hair on her head bristled.
Even Ning Lingyu felt his brother’s joke had gone too far. After all, the two of them had been classmates for close to three years. However, Ling Yun actually professed that he did not know who Cao Shanshan was and that really hurt her.
Zhang Ling could not stand Ling Yun’s actions anymore.
She stood up enraged and went to stand beside Cao Shanshan.
“Ling Yun, everyone knows that you have a crush on Cao Shanshan. First, you do not dare to confess to her, then you resort to rumors to shalessly attract her attention. Now you trying to act like you do not know her? Don’t you think you are going overboard?” Zhang Ling ranted rapidly.
Cao Shanshan was held back by Zhang Ling after she tried to run away from embarrassnt. However, she started to tear in sorrow as Zhang Ling carried on fulminating.
“This guy has sothing wrong with his brain. She is the one and only Cao Shanshan. Who in this school dares to say he does not know her?”
“Exactly! He probably ran till his brain malfunctioned earlier today to make that statent”.
“Maybe he thinks he can get her attention this way? And that eventually backfired”.
“Let’s see what’s will happen now that Ling Yun has made our school belle angry…”
The students gossiped enthusiastically in their commotions, keeping tabs on the updates.
“Hmm…Cao Shanshan? Oh, was that her na you ntioned to outside your hostel the other ti?” Ling Yun asked Ning Lingyu.
All of a sudden, Ling Yun recalled what had happened. That night, Ning Lingyu had been walking out of her hostel where she t Ling Yun and asked him a question, “Do I look better than Cao Shanshan?”
“No matter how pretty she is, you are definitely prettier than her!” Ling Yun suddenly rembered his reply.
Throwing a few awkward glances at Ning Lingyu, Ling Yun shook his head slightly before looking up to Cao Shanshan. “So, you are Cao Shanshan? Sorry, I’m not interested in you. Please get out of the way and don’t disturb my al”.
“A*shole, such an arrogant a*shole!” Cao Shanshan refuted.
anwhile, Tang ng felt blessed for receiving the kinder treatnt from Ling Yun for his misdeed. It was fine if he didn’t have her reciprocate his love, but did he really have to act like he did not know Cao Shanshan? After all, none of her suitors dared to confess to her but he daringly insulted her this way.
Wanting to take revenge, Cao Shanshan decided to teach this arrogant b*stard a lesson in front of everyone. However, she could not reveal the fact that she knew martial arts in public.
“Cao Shanshan, my brother has been acting weird since noon. It is most probably due to fatigue from the run earlier. Please do not hold it against him,” Ning Lingyu uttered all of a sudden.
Tang ng added, “Yeah…Don’t be angry at him. Look at , I’ve also suffered at his hands just now. You can double check with Zhang Ling. Ling Yun is acting out of the ordinary so do not believe his retarded comnts.”
Ling Yun did not give a d*mn about his surroundings and continued eating his food. On the other hand, all that was roaming in the mind of Cao Shanshan was Ling Yun’s remark on being uninterested in her.
She reminisced clearly when Ling Yun uttered those words, he had said it in a composed tone without any resent. His tone made Cao Shanshan bitter.
How dare you! A poor and stupid creep who sneakily followed last night and talked sh*t about . Now, you daringly claim that you have no idea who I am?
Overcoming your own physical limit is just pure luck and does not an anything to . I can still take on ten of you at one go…with ease!
A waiter broke the tension as she served the Sichuan boiled fish and sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce onto the table. Zhang Ling took this opportunity and dragged Cao Shanshan away. “Let us not waste our ti on this worthless jerk. We have more important matters to settle”.
Cao Shanshan knew that if Zhang Ling and Ling Yun broke out in a fight, Zhang Ling and herself would be at the losing end. Therefore, Chao Shanshan opted for another solution.
“Ling Yun, is this your manner of showing your masculinity? Is this how you’re gonna portray that you are no longer a weakling or coward? If you are really so brave, I’ll see you alone tomorrow night and let us settle this once and for all!”
The students in the canteen started an uproar as Zhang Ling reckoned that Cao Shanshan must have been horn-mad to speak without thinking.
If soone were to twist the truth about their eting at night, it would result in another consequential hoo-ha about Ling Yun and Cao Shanshan.
“I’ll let you have a taste of offending the wrong person!” Cao Shanshan promised begrudgingly. Having no mood to consu her al, she slamd a hundred dollars onto the table before dragging Zhang Ling away with her.
“But..but..my boiled fish!” Zhang Ling blubbered pitifully while looking at the plate of boiled fish, with her hatred towards Ling Yun growing stronger.
“What…? He made Cao Shanshan walk away fuming with anger just like that?”
“Yeah, that is true. She didn’t even touch her food!” The students engaged in their commotion after a mont of bewildered silence.
“This dude must be nuts to provoke Cao Shanshan this way!” A handso dude who seed to understand her exclaid.
“You have really offended her this ti,” Ning Lingyu warned his brother precautiously. anwhile, Tang ng stared at Ling Yun helplessly, knowing he was dead at.
Ling Yun let out a burp after finishing his al. He wiped his mouth and smiled at his sister, “Eat your food, it’s getting cold. Do not bother about what is not important”.
“What about tomorrow night with Cao Shanshan…?” Ning Lingyu raised up the topic worryingly.
“I won’t be going. I have no lessons tomorrow night, I’ll send you ho,” Ling Yun assured his sister. He felt that Cao Shanshan was ridiculous for getting so provoked by sothing so minor.
Ning Lingyu felt warmhearted from his brother’s words and hurriedly tucked into her al. She wanted to tell their mother about how brave Ling Yun had beco.
Tang ng showed his support by giving Ling Yun a thumbs up and warned him that he could never hide away from Cao Shanshan.
“Hide? Why do I need to hide? What’s wrong with having no knowledge of sobody?” Ling Yun laughed.
“But you do really know her! Is it necessary to act like you don’t?” Tang ng replied with a tinge of angst at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun smirked and did not bother to explain further. “I just want to stay low-profile, but that does not an I’m afraid of trouble. If she wants to cause trouble, bring it on!”
“Oh, what is the na of the dude that tried to stop today on the track?” Ling Yun proceeded to ask.
“Fatty, you have to be careful of that dude. He will take revenge for the hit you gave him. His na is Li Lei, he practices Sanda (Chinese kickboxing),” Tang ng answered.
“Are you serious? Li Lei? Why did you provoke him?” Ning Lingyu asked her brother frantically.
“Li Lei is one of Xie Junyan’s loyal thugs and it is not funny if you offend them!”
Looking at Ning Lingyu’s frightened expression, Tang ng patted his own chest. He assured her that he would use his relations with Xie Junyan to ensure the safety of Ling Yun. She thanked Tang ng in response and that got him very exhilarated. He had waited very long for this day.
At the side, Ling Yun snickered as he uttered, “It’s okay. You just have to tell how I go about finding him.”
“Huh, Ling Yun are you crazy? You sneakily assaulted him earlier today and you should be glad he hadn’t found any trouble with you. Why do you want to et him? To apologize?” Tang ng inquired as he could not believe his ears.
“Yup. I’m going to apologize. rcilessly,” Ling Yun agreed with a grin.
