"Then you head back to the dorm, I'll wander around alone for a while."
Guo Rong was clearly very disappointed, as he had mustered all his courage to speak up today. He didn't know if he would have the nerve to ask again next ti.
"Then I'll head back to the dorm." Bai Ruolan was actually quite pleased with Guo Rong's silly deanor, or else she wouldn't have gotten involved with him.
Both were sowhat interested, but breaking through the final barrier was still a bit difficult.
After Bai Ruolan had walked away, Lin Tian suddenly popped out and patted Guo Rong on the shoulder.
"Hey! Buddy!"
"Ah!"
Guo Rong scread, nearly collapsing to the ground in fright.
"Lin Tian, when did you get back? You scared to death!"
"What misdeeds have you been up to? Why else would you be so scared?" Lin Tian decided to tease Guo Rong, who indeed blushed with embarrassnt.
"What misdeeds could I commit? Co on, let's head to the dorm."
"No way, Guo Rong, today I think you should treat to a big al."
Lin Tian didn't move, expecting Guo Rong to treat him to a lavish al.
"Why on earth?"
"Just now, a certain fatso seed to be making a date! Lanlan, it's so late today, why don't we not head back to the dorm?"
Lin Tian deliberately imitated Guo Rong's earlier words in an exaggeratedly coquettish voice, causing Guo Rong's face to turn pale.
"Lin Tian, you mustn't speak of this. Lanlan and I haven't settled things yet, and Lanlan would be mad if she knew."
Guo Rong looked terribly anxious.
"Tsk tsk, you've even started calling her 'Lanlan'. Seems like you're getting pretty skilled, kid. However, if you don't want to talk, you'll have to treat to a big al." Lin Tian had Guo Rong cornered, and with a pained expression, Guo Rong agreed to the al.
For a foodie, the prospect of treating soone else to a al was particularly painful.
Typically, it's either they eat, or they get treated.
Shoulder to shoulder, the two n arrived at a barbecue stall, one of Lin Tian's favorite spots, and one he frequented often. The owner was familiar with them.
"Lin Tian, really, you can't let this out. Lanlan is very introverted. If others talked, she might stop acknowledging ."
"Guo Rong, you're going about this all wrong. Is it necessary to be so secretive about being in a relationship?" Lin Tian felt there was sothing wrong with Guo Rong's approach.
Guo Rong was actually very self-conscious, being unattractive and a food lover, with a broad and chubby figure.
Bai Ruolan was so beautiful, and deep down, he always felt he didn't deserve her.
"Just make sure you don't tell anyone."
Lin Tian, seeing how adamant Guo Rong was, imdiately patted his chest and said, no problem, I definitely won't tell anyone.
Only after receiving Lin Tian's firm reply did Guo Rong feel relieved.
The two were enjoying their al when suddenly, a disheveled woman ran out of a nearby alley.
The woman was running and shouting loudly.
"Help, help!"
Following the woman, four or five n erged, each holding a dagger.
So n who initially thought of playing the hero imdiately shrank back, not daring to show themselves.
These days, there are many who are passionate, but most are cowards.
The woman, running hurriedly, suddenly stepped on a stone and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
The woman was about to be caught by the n.
"You ****, you dare to run, we're going to gang **** on you today!"
Just then, soone stepped forward.
A not-so-strong figure stood in front of the woman. Lin Tian didn't look at the fallen woman but stared coldly at the five n wielding daggers.
"What kind of skill is it to bully a woman?"
"Yo, soone actually dares to step up! Let's all go together and give this kid a few holes," they said.
The five n looked particularly fierce and without a word, charged at Lin Tian with their daggers.
There was no technique to their attack, just raw aggression.
Facing such attacks, Lin Tian managed effortlessly, easily dodging the assaults. With a swift kick, he struck the bald leader in the stomach.
The powerful blow sent the bald man flying.
The remaining n, seeing Lin Tian's formidable response, imdiately thought of retreating.
But before they could act, Lin Tian knocked all of them to the ground with a kick each.
Lin Tian's intention was for these n to learn a harsh lesson, but they were cunning and quickly disappeared the mont they sensed trouble.
"Are you alright?"
After dealing with the bad guys, Lin Tian turned and reached out a hand to the woman on the ground.
Only then did Lin Tian have the chance to observe the woman on the ground. He noticed that she was stunningly beautiful, with a seductive figure.
Especially her long white legs, which were very eye-catching. No wonder those thugs had intended to assault her.
"I'm fine. Thank you, if it weren't for you, I, I don't know what would have beco of today."
The woman's voice was very soft, invoking sympathy.
Lin Daiyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber isn't actually that beautiful, but her constantly lancholic deanor is very endearing.
Such a woman inherently evokes a man's protective urge.
"Get up and see if you can walk?"
Lin Tian reached out his hand, and the beautiful woman stretched her delicate hand on top of Lin Tian's, trying to stand up with his help.
However, as soon as she stood up, she lost her balance and fell directly into Lin Tian's arms.
Their bodies were tightly pressed together, and Lin Tian hadn't expected such a stroke of luck to co flying his way.
Despite this, he felt no affection towards the beautiful woman. When she fell into him, it was obvious that she was acting, which Lin Tian greatly disliked.
"It seems I can't walk anymore. Could you perhaps take ho?"
It was clear this woman was trying to seduce Lin Tian, but of course, he had no intention of taking the bait.
Unfortunately, Guo Rong, the foodie, completely misread the situation and imdiately started encouraging Lin Tian to comply with the beautiful woman's request.
"Why not just take her ho, Lin Tian? Look how pitiful this beauty is. What if she encounters so bad guys on the way?"
"Why don't you take her then?" Lin Tian muttered to himself, cursing the foodie for his lack of perceptiveness.
"? I just got a girlfriend, and I am not the one to ss around. I have to keep myself clean."
Guo Rong's serious deanor made Lin Tian chuckle. The foodie seed truly smitten.
"No need, I'll just head ho myself."
After thinking it over for a while, the beautiful woman left Lin Tian's embrace and walked away with a swing in her steps.
"Lin Tian, quickly take her ho. Sothing else might happen."
After pondering for a mont, Lin Tian followed her.
"Miss, let take you ho."
"That would be wonderful!" The woman showed no reserve at all and flung herself back into Lin Tian's arms, relying on him for support.
"Where do you live?"
Lin Tian had decided to follow her rely to see what the beautiful woman's intention was in seducing him.
He didn't believe that by saving her once, she would be this forward. It wasn't just being forward; it was blatant seduction.
"Just ahead. Oh, I really don't want to live in this place anymore. Every ti I co ho, my heart is in my throat."
Through their conversation, Lin Tian learned that this beautiful woman's na was Chen Xiaoi, which obviously sounded like a pseudonym. Lin Tian, however, did not change his na and continued to introduce himself as Lin Tian.
Chen Xiaoi's ho turned out not to be too far, and they soon arrived.
"I live alone. Could you just take upstairs? My legs are not very convenient right now."
Once downstairs, Chen Xiaoi beca even more straightforward.
Lin Tian suspected that this might be a set-up targeting him, so he pretended to be very interested.
"Alright, I'll take you upstairs."
"Why don't you carry up? My foot is twisted and it's a bit swollen now."
The woman's voice was very soft, perfectly triggering a man's protective instincts.
Lin Tian thought about it and, pretending to be very eager, picked up Chen Xiaoi.
Chen Xiaoi lived on the fourth floor, which wasn't very high.
"Why do you live alone?"
"This place is cheap, entirely affordable on my own. But the rent is a big chunk of my monthly expenses. I really wish soone could share the load. Would you like to be my roommate?"
Chen Xiaoi subtly hinted at wanting sothing more exciting with Lin Tian, and Lin Tian casually responded, eventually helping her into her room.
Chen Xiaoi's apartnt was quite large and fully furnished.
"You're ho now, can I leave?"
"Don't rush! You took upstairs and I haven't even thanked you yet. There are drinks in the fridge; help yourself."
"I'm not thirsty!"
"I am thirsty; take one out for ."
Chen Xiaoi seed fixated on the drink, and Lin Tian opened the fridge only to find two bottles of Sprite.
What a coincidence, he thought and took them both out.
"Don't be shy, consider it a reward for saving . Cheers!"
Chen Xiaoi appeared intent on getting Lin Tian to drink the Sprite.
Lin Tian pretended to take a sip, keeping the liquid in his mouth before discreetly spitting it into the trash can when Chen Xiaoi wasn't looking.
The whole situation with Chen Xiaoi appearing so suddenly, and those villains leaving too quickly, seed off. Lin Tian had co upstairs just to see what was really up with Chen Xiaoi.
"Lin Tian, really, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, those bad guys would have bullied . My foot is so swollen, maybe you could massage it for ?"
"Sure!"
Lin Tian pretended to massage Chen Xiaoi's foot while carefully watching her expression.
After a while, he pretended sothing was wrong. Although Chen Xiaoi repeatedly called for Lin Tian, he didn't respond.
Chen Xiaoi quickly snuck out a text ssage.
Just a few minutes later, footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Pretending to be unconscious, Lin Tian's lips curved slightly upward; the woman was indeed up to no good. Moreover, these people were apparently trying to trap him, although he didn't know who exactly was targeting him.
"Xiaoi! You are so cunning. The mont you step in, this guy falls for it."
The group that burst in was the sa one that had troubled Chen Xiaoi earlier, causing Lin Tian to criticize their lack of professionalism.
Too unprofessional, really. Couldn't they at least have switched to a different group of people?
"You bunch of fools, several of you couldn't even handle one man, but luckily I had a backup plan. This ti, Young Master Zhang will surely reward us well."
