During the first class in the afternoon, the teacher lectured in the front with the students below chattered loudly. Some of them were playing cards; some were doing live broadcasts; some were gossiping; There were even a few boys with their feet up on the desk, smoking cigarettes. Zhang Chunyu actually returned to the class at this moment. He went back to his seat dimly after a glimpse at Lin Huai.
Wei Qimian frowned as he looked at the situation in the class and sighed.
Lin Huai asked, “Do you hate this atmosphere?”
Wei Qimian looked at Lin Huai and asked, “Can you still learn in this environment?”
Lin Huai smiled bitterly, “There is such a mess in the classroom. I can’t even hear what the teacher is teaching. Fortunately, the two of us are sitting in the first row, and we could still hear something faintly.”
“Yeah.” Wei Qimian sighed. “The two of us sitting in the first row are already deeply affected. What about the students sitting in the back row? Can they still learn?”
Lin Huai glanced around and sneered, “I think these students just go to school to hang around. They never thought about studying well, nor do they think about the problems after graduation, so you don’t have to be considerate with them.”
“How can you not be considerate with them?” Lin Huai’s words seemed to touch a soft spot in Wei Qimian’s heart. It was the first time Linbei saw Wei Qimian so emotional, “Do you know how the Yulan College came to?”
Lin Huai hesitated and said, “Yulan College was founded by the wife of an entrepreneur in this city, Wei Sihai, so that students who are poor or have poor test scores have a better place to learn?”
“Exactly.” Wei Qimian said, “The founder of the college was Teacher Zhao Yulan. She was originally a high school teacher, because she saw that some poor children couldn’t afford to go to school, and some students missed the opportunity to get into a good university by a small margin, so she founded a school like this to keep those disheartened students from losing their interest in learning. ”
This was not the first time Lin Huai heard about Teacher Zhao Yulan. Teacher Zhao Yulan’s initial intention was good. It could even be described as noble, but there were some things she did not expect. A university when lacking strict standards in enrolling students, it could only lead to a messy student demographics in this school. The classroom would also be affected, but this did not prevent her from being a respected person.
Wei Qimian said sadly, “I know, Teacher Zhao’s ideas are too idealistic.”
Lin Huai said solemnly, “No, I really respect Ms. Zhao.”
As Wei Qimian heard Lin Huai’s words, there was a glimmer of hope in her gaze with tears gleaming in her eyes.
Perhaps it was Zhao Yulan’s greatness that touched him, or Wei Qimian’s eyes were distressing, Lin Huai felt faintly uncomfortable in his heart. He suddenly stood up and glanced sharply at each of his classmates. Everyone hurriedly piped down as they met his sharp glance.
The male teacher who was giving the lecture looked surprised; Wei Qimian also looked at Lin Huai in surprise. Lin Huai had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes finally fell on Zhang Chunyu. He said with a smile, “You all are so noisy. It disturbed Second Lei to listen to the class. Am I right, Second Lei? ”
Although Lin Huai seemed merry faced, his words were full of threats. Zhang Chunyu immediately heard it.
Zhang Chunyu scolded silently. All the students are chattering, what does it have to do with me? Since you bullied me to this extreme, I will show you some trouble later!
Zhang Chunyu took a deep breath, and suddenly slammed the table, saying loudly, “If anyone else disturbs the order of the classroom, I will kick them out. Do you hear me?”
All the students in the heaved their breath in distress. Everyone could see that Zhang Chunyu was trying to flatter Lin Huai. They could not imagine that the overlord in the class would be afraid of a new student, but as Zhang Chunyu spoke, they did not dare to voice out anything. They shut their mouths in a hurry.
Zhang Chunyu then looked at Lin Huai and said with a grin, “Are you satisfied, Brother Huai?”
Lin Huai didn’t speak but sat down. Zhang Chunyu’s eyes showed a trace of resentment.
The class continued. Although most students did not actually listen attentively, the class was completely quiet.
There was a sparkling light in Wei Qimian’s eyes, “Lin Huai, how did you do that?”
Lin Huai pretended to be confused, “What?”
Wei Qimian asked, “How did you intimidate Second Lei? Even the teacher couldn’t control him, why did he listen to you?”
Lin Huai smiled proudly, “I already said that I am a handsome man with a bright aura. Indeed, if you’re handsome, you can do whatever you want!”
Wei Qimian chuckled, “I don’t believe it, but I feel that no matter what means are used; even if there is coercion, as long as the end result is good, there is no problem with it.”
Lin Huai looked at Wei Qimian in surprise. Although he had only been in contact with her for just a day, Lin Huai could feel that Wei Qimian actually hated violence. For example, when she just heard that he had given Zhang Jindong a beating this morning, Wei Qimian immediately estranged from him. It was only later when he managed to muddle through that Wei Qimian would get closer to him again.
Wei Qimian seemed to have guessed what Lin Huai was thinking, and she sighed helplessly, “Of course I think using force is not good, but if the starting intention is correct, and the result is good, I can understand the process.”
Lin Huai laughed, “It looks like you’re not as rigid as I thought.”
Wei Qimian couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m also a youngster, how rigid can I be? I just don’t like everyone making a good school like this.”
Suddenly, Wei Qimian’s eyes fixed on Lin Huai, seemingly wanting to figure out something, “Why do I feel that you seem to know me well?”
There was a loud thud down deep down in Lin Huai’s heart. Wei Qimian is indeed the daughter of a business tycoon. Her mind is really not simple. She can notice some flaws with just a few simple exchange of words. There is no way I can admit that. If people knew that the king of the bodyguards is spotted on the first day of the mission, it would be super embarrassing.
Lin Huai pretended not noticed anything and laughed, “We are deskmates for a day, can’t I already tell what kind of character you are?”
Wei Qimian looked at Lin Huai stubbornly, wanting to see through his heart. After a long while, she retracted her eyes and said lightly, “Listen to the teacher.”
Lin Huai acted as if nothing happened on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart. This Wei Qimian is really too sharp to be fooled.
The next afternoon, Lin Huai spent it cautiously. Lin Huai always felt that Wei Qimian wanted to inquire about something, but Lin Huai brushed through all of it.
After the bell rang, the students went out of the class one by one. Lin Huai pretended to ask some academic questions to delay time until everyone left. Then, the two went out together. Wei Sihai ordered Lin Huai try his best to stay with Wei Qimian. Since he was paid, it was necessary to get things done. Such is the professional ethics in the industry.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the first floor, Pu Chengji ran from the outside in a hurry. He rushed directly to Lin Huai, panting, “Brother Bei, run away fast. Big Lei is planning to stop you with more than thirty people outside. If you get caught, you will be dead!”
Wei Qimian’s face changed, and said angrily, “This is so ridiculous. How can seniors bully people casually? I’ll go and reason with them!”
Lin Huai grabbed Wei Qimian’s arm with this heart fluttered. Wei Qimian’s skin is so soft and smooth.
Wei Qimian was also flustered. From an early age, she had never had such close contact with any male except her father.
Lin Huai didn’t notice the blush on Wei Qimian’s face, and said with a bitter smile, “Do you think you can reason with such a group of people, and make them understand? They don’t even listen to the teacher, what makes you different?”
Wei Qimian opened her mouth. Although helpless, she didn’t know how to refute. After a few seconds of silence, she asked, “What would you do then?”
“What to do? Of course, we are fleeing. There are more than thirty people. Only a fool will fight with them! Let’s go. We’ll jump out of the rear window together!”
Lin Huai said to Pu Chengji, “From now on, you and I will never have anything to do with each other. Until I win, then I will accept you as my underling!”
Pu Chengji’s complexion was pained with embarrassment, but he nodded. He was just a fatty with no strength to fight. He didn’t have the courage to face a strong enemy like Big Lei. Never mind Big Lei, even if it was Second Lei, he dare not face him.
Lin Huai took Wei Qimian to a window, letting her to jump out first, and then he himself also jumped out. As soon as the two people landed safely, they heard a shout from the lobby on the first floor, “Damn, don’t let Lin Huai escape! ”
“I’m going to murder that kid!”
“Brother, catch this kid and give him to me!”
Lin Huai turned around, but saw that there were thirty or forty people in the hall. Most of them were holding rods in their hands. The one in the front was half a head taller and stronger than Second Lei, holding a machete in his hand as he charged in front with murderous aura. He looked a lot like Zhang Chunyu, needless to say it was Zhang Chunlei.
Of course, it was easy for Lin Huai to deal with these people but it would reveal his identity. Imagine a person as sensitive as Wei Qimian found out that her newly transferred deskmate was so capable. Would she not feel skeptical? Besides, she had been probing Lin Huai this afternoon, so Lin Huai could not take the risk.
Regardless of those who followed, Lin Huai grabbed Wei Qimian’s hand and said, “Let’s go!”
At the very moment, they jumped out into the backyard of the faculty building. Further to the front was a tall fence. Lin Huai would have to jump through the fence before these people catch up, but there was still more than 100 meters from the fence.
Lin Huai just ran for about ten meters with Wei Qimian when she squealed as she sprained her foot. Moreover, Second Lei looked like he was about to jump out of the window. Lin Huai did not hesitate to hold Wei Qimian in his arms, Wei Qimian shouted in frail, “Ah, what are you doing?”
Lin Huai shouted, “Carrying you away!”
Lin Huai sped up. His legs were like riding on a hot wheel [1] as he ran directly to the fence. In the process, Wei Qimian had been watching Lin Huai’s face quietly. Her eyes seem to be sparkling as she murmured to herself, “Being calm in the face of danger with such confidence, and not betray your friends, your fate should be dragon and phoenix [2].”
Lin Huai suddenly laughed out loud “I am a dragon, you are a phoenix. We are born to be a pair. I will now throw you up. Hang tight!”
Wei Qimian flew up like a cloud rising from the sky, and happened to sit right on the wall. Looking at Lin Huai who laughed confidently below, there was a quick glimpse of flush on her face. As she recalled the passage just now “I am a dragon, you are a phoenix. We are born to be a pair.”, the mysterious man made her perplexed…
