章節 34: So Angry That He Became Bad Tempered
編輯: Henyee Translations
"Don't be like this. Cold Snake Tower is the most suitable place. If he doesn't listen to us, we can beat him up. We'll be going into the wilderness. Are you afraid that he'll run away?"
Cen Yi didn't accept his answer. Among all the energy stone missions, he liked the Cold Snake Tower one the most. The main reason was because all the missions located on the outskirts of Xiang City had been taken. Everyone eagerly went to the spots where energy stones could be found but he hadn't heard of anyone bringing energy stones back.
The Cold Snake Tower was a little far, but Xiang City's geologists said there were energy stones there based on energy surveys in that area.
That place was too big. It was a huge primary forest nature reserve that was an official scenic venue and a wilderness scenic spot. It was called Cold Snake Tower but there was more than just a tower in this area. There were many snakes around there too.
No one dared to go there without any wilderness survival experience.
Lu Zhengqing was thinking the same thing too.
He said indifferently, "Alright. I'll prepare some ropes. If he dares to leave us in the lurch, we'll tie him up and feed him to the snakes."
As they spoke, they saw Qiao Lingxiang running over hurriedly with her school bag.
Cen Yi immediately released Lu Zhengqing's collar and shouted at the fat girl, "Qiao Lingxiang."
Qiao Lingxiang instantly stopped running. The blood on her face had already been washed off so she looked clean and proper. As the sunlight of the winter sun dappled her skin, it formed a gentle glow.
Her skin seemed even more flawless.
Lu Zhengqing raised his hand and smiled at her as he stood beside Cen Yi.
"Hi, Xiangxiang. Are you going for lunch?"
"No, no, no."
Qiao Lingxiang waved her hand hurriedly as though there was a ghost chasing her. Then she took two steps towards Cen Yi and said to him, "I'm not hungry. I'm on a diet. I'll be leaving. Sorry, I need to leave."
After she finished speaking, she dashed out of the school gates. Her feet moved swiftly.
Cen Yi and Lu Zhengqing were confused when they saw her stammering and running away swiftly. They wondered what happened while they were away from school this morning.
Cen Yi scratched his head. He looked at Qiao Lingxiang's retreating back and planned to go home after he finished lunch. He would be heading to the Cold Snake Tower that night so he needed to pack his luggage first. Then he would seek out Qiao Lingxiang and ask her what happened.
If there was an issue, he would help her resolve it if he could. This fat little girl was quite cute.
After Cen Yi finished eating, he went back to his classroom to pack up his bag along with Lu Zhengqing and the other guys going to the Cold Snake Tower later. At this moment, Qiao Yuelan came to see him.
Her eyes were red and she looked lovingly pitiful. She came with Fu Mengyu.
She and Fu Mengyu stood outside the classroom and knocked on the door. After attracting Cen Yi's attention, she said in a cautious and timid tone, "Cen Yi, can you come out for a moment? I have something to tell you."
Lu Zhengqing and the others quickly whistled. They winked at him and even made "Yu~" sounds that only they understood. They wanted to encourage Cen Yi.
"Shut up! Is this funny?"
Cen Yi turned and glared at the people behind him. He should've already made himself clear. He didn't like Qiao Yuelan at all. These people didn't seem worried about creating havoc. Qiao Yuelan probably thought he really liked her.
"All the best."
When he walked past Lu Zhengqing, Lu Zhengqing laughed violently as he cheered for him.
"All the best your head."
Cen Yi spat at Lu Zhengqing and walked to the door of the classroom. He frowned and asked Qiao Yuelan who was standing outside the door, "What's the matter?"
Qiao Yuelan seemed to have cried. Did she want to ask him for help?
Qiao Yuelan's eyes were red as she pleaded with a pitiful expression.
"Can I ask you not to care about my younger sister from now on?"
Cen Yi was caught off guard by her request. He pursed his lips and looked at Qiao Yuelan quietly. Lu Zhengqing and the others were observing their interaction with ambiguous expressions but unexpectedly, this was the favor Qiao Yuelan asked the moment she opened her mouth.
Qiao Yuelan felt like she was in a difficult position when she saw Cen Yi and the people behind him turning silent.
"At first, I thought I had already resolved this issue. I told Qiu Chen not to beat her. However, this morning, because you fought with Cheng Tian, he came and beat my younger sister again. The cycles of revenge will continue if you keep fighting with each other. The issues will become more severe. I don't want to owe you any favors. I…"
"Cheng Tian hit Qiao Lingxiang again?"
Cen Yi interrupted Qiao Yuelan as he asked this. The other words were exceptionally piercing to his ears. He didn't want to listen.
"Yes, he beat her up really badly."
When she thought of Qiao Lingxiang getting beaten up by the gang of people, Qiao Yuelan felt uncomfortable. That was her younger sister after all. Although she made a mistake and shouldn't have offended Qiu Chen, Qiao Yuelan still worried about her after she got beaten so badly.
Hence, she cried in front of Cen Yi and said to him, "I don't want you to worry about Qiao Lingxiang's issue anymore. I want this to end here. My younger sister was at fault too. I'll go and apologize to Cheng Tian after this. I hope that he can bury the hatchet…"
"I'm really sorry~ Miss."
Cen Yi smiled. She stopped Qiao Yuelan's sobbing directly and clenched his fists. He was at the peak of his anger but he seemed even more arrogant and irritating.
He said slowly, "I'm a rebellious person. I won't do anything others want me to do. However, if others don't want me to do something, I'll definitely want to do it. I'm sorry, miss. In the future, I will definitely worry about Qiao Lingxiang's issue."
He wasn't a humble person but he didn't like this common practice. Why was a bunch of people bullying a single person? What was this? If you had the guts, you should fight someone one on one. Should humble people get bullied?
In the past, Cen Yi wasn't close to Qiao Lingxiang so he didn't understand anything. Everyone called Qiao Lingxiang "Dinosaur' but he never did. He even stopped other people from calling her that.
After his interactions with Qiao Lingxiang yesterday and today, he felt that she was an exceptionally obedient and humble lady. She might be a little fat but so what? Should fat people get bullied?
That was why Cen Yi felt very angry when Cheng Tian hit Qiao Lingxiang.
But what made him laugh in anger was the attitude of Qiao Yuelan, Qiao Lingxiang's blood-related older sister. She ignited his temper.
Damn it, he had never seen an older sister who didn't speak up for her younger sister!
In his hometown, the entire family would've come out to fight the person who bullied their youngest child. He helped Qiao Lingxiang when he saw her getting bullied but Qiao Yuelan came to beg him not to worry about her.
What kind of logic was this?!
