The next day, Chen Yao walked into class with a dark expression.
Lin Nan followed expressionlessly behind him, occasionally observing Chen Yao's face and the faint handprint still visible on it, then guiltily lowered her head.
Finding an empty row, the two sat down side by side.
Chen Yao was still a bit confused even now.
Last night he'd already completely locked down both of Lin Nan's hands, so why did he inexplicably get punched and slapped in the darkness?
It couldn't be that the room was haunted, right?
He grimaced as he touched his cheek, the pain still reminding him that last night wasn't a dream.
Could it be that he was half-asleep, too excited, and since the bedroom was pitch black, what he'd actually grabbed wasn't Lin Nan's wrists but a pillow? Or sothing else?
And where did Lin Nan get such strength anyway?
He couldn't figure it out. He glanced at Lin Nan's poker face and asked cautiously: "You're not angry, are you?"
"No."
Lin Nan shook her head, but asked with a guilty conscience: "Does it hurt?"
"..."
Chen Yao actually wanted to say it hurt a lot. He'd never known Lin Nan could slap him hard enough to send him flying from the bed to the floor, nearly knocking out his teeth.
Where did such strength co from?
He strongly suspected Lin Nan usually just pretended to be weak. "It's fine, doesn't hurt." He gently touched his swollen cheek, and his mouth twitched. It hurt so much he nearly cried out.
There was so ointnt left over from when Lin Nan had scraped herself yesterday. He'd already applied it, but it didn't seem to have much effect. Later he'd need to go to the school clinic and have the doctor prescribe so dicine.
"Holy shit? You got beaten up?" Tu Junhui had also arrived in class. Sitting down next to Chen Yao, he saw the swollen cheek and was shocked. "Who hit you?! So ruthlessly?"
Chen Yao was silent.
Xiong Da also frowned and asked: "Did you get in a fight with so thugs off campus?"
"Damn, just tell us who! I'll go get revenge for you!" Tu Junhui rolled up his sleeves, exposing arms even thicker than Lin Nan's thighs, cursing. "Motherfucker! How dare they hit my roommate! I'll go call people from class, Big Dog and Lin Yuan can co too!"
Xiong Da wasn't the fighting type. Expressionlessly, he pulled out his phone. "Let's just call the police? If you didn't fight back, we can get the guy locked up for a few days and get so compensation. Fighting isn't really good."
Lin Nan guiltily lay her head on the desk, burying her face between her arms.
One suggested fighting back, the other suggested using legal ans to get even. Chen Yao silently didn't answer, and Lin Nan felt very guilty, too.
After a long while, Lin Nan finally answered in a low voice: "Um... I was the one who hit him."
"..."
Tu Junhui looked blankly at Lin Nan's thin arms and thin legs, then at the swelling on Chen Yao's face. He couldn't imagine Lin Nan having that capability no matter what.
"You had a fight?" Xiong Da scratched his head. "That doesn't seem right..."
"Exactly, where'd you get the strength to hit him so hard?"
Lin Nan buried her head. She couldn't very well say she'd slapped him with magic. She wasn't very good at controlling magic power yet, so the force was a bit too much... but in her panic, she hadn't thought that much about it.
When she saw Chen Yao fly off the bed last night, she'd been shocked too.
Chen Yao helplessly nodded. Due to his swollen cheek, even his speech was a bit unclear: "My fault. I made her really angry."
He sighed mournfully: "She slapped right off the bed."
Tu Junhui and Xiong Da looked at each other, really unable to imagine Lin Nan's little fists could produce such high damage output.
Class started, so they both quieted down. After Tu Junhui and Chen Yao exchanged glances for a mont, Tu Junhui suddenly realized that during the year and a half he'd lived with Lin Nan in the dorm, he'd been dancing right on the edge of death.
You had to know that in the dorm before, Lin Nan was teased and mocked by him almost every day. From height to appearance to gas, he could find reasons to tease Lin Nan from any angle.
Fortunately, Lin Nan had a good temper. Otherwise, if he'd also gotten a slap, his grave grass would probably be three ters tall by now.
"Sister Nan?" Tu Junhui even changed how he addressed Lin Nan, carefully making faces. "Little Tu offended you plenty before. You haven't taken it to heart, right?"
Lin Nan glanced at him and continued lying there sullenly.
In Tu Junhui's eyes now, she was probably a human-shaped T-rex.
"Sister Nan! From now on, whenever you tell to go east, I absolutely won't go west! For all future art-related finals, I'll help you draw an extra copy!"
Tu Junhui patted his chest with grand promises: "Just don't hit ! Even though I've got lots of fat, I can't withstand a blow like that from you either."
"Stop being so chatty, annoying." Lin Nan turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
Void Hand was already unlocked. Last night, she'd already experienced the power of this magic through Chen Yao. If not for this magic, Lin Nan probably really would have given it all up last night.
Unfortunately, the other purification magic hadn't unlocked. Originally, Lin Nan had been the proactive one, but halfway throug,h Chen Yao turned the tables on her. This caused Lin Nan to set an alarm every half hour last night to wake herself up and cast purification magic before daring to go back to sleep, afraid of leaking all over the sheets again.
This also ant she didn't sleep well all night. After attendance was taken, she lay on her desk and started getting drowsy again.
As for Chen Yao, he hadn't slept all night from the pain. Now he had a worried expression, starting to consider how to survive from now on.
No wonder Lin Nan never fought since they'd known each other. Turned out she was afraid of accidentally killing soone!
He felt that if he wanted to ensure his own safety, he had to establish three rules with Lin Nan.
So enduring the pain, he said to Lin Nan in a low voice: "Hitting people isn't good."
"I know." Lin Nan, lying on the desk, nodded slightly.
"In the future... don't hit anymore." He smiled bitterly. "Let's agree that we'll always be reasonable about everything. Never get physical."
Lin Nan's expression was awkward. She raised her head and glared: "Wasn't it because you made really angry? I already said no."
Who knows what a woman ans when she says "no" in bed?
"In the future, if I make you angry, just scold . Don't hit ." Chen Yao gently touched his cheek again. The pain made his body shudder. "A few more tis like that might actually kill soone."
"You should still take leave to go to the school clinic and get it checked out, right?"
"You have to promise you absolutely won't use violent thods! No matter how angry you get, no! Otherwise, I won't go to the school clinic today!"
"..." Lin Nan naturally nodded.
This new magic was originally ant to guard against Lilith's revenge on her. Plus, when she was alone, she could conveniently grab things from far away... but its first appearance was actually used on Chen Yao. The effect was quite remarkable though. In the future, Lin Nan definitely wouldn't be scared of fights or brawls.
Seeing Lin Nan nod in agreent, only then did Chen Yao let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Nan still felt very guilty. Biting her lips, she asked, "How about at lunch today, I'll treat you to sothing good to make up for it?"
"I feel I can only eat liquid food for the next few days..."
