Chapter 207 - 207 Panicking
207 Panicking
No one knew how Guan Lei could stay in the school after beating up Xiang Cheng.
Guan Lei’s eyes sharpened, and he threw the plate at Liu Cheng. The plate and its contents landed on top of Liu Cheng. Gravy and sauces dripped from her delicate hair, mixing with her makeup for a terrible display.
Liu Cheng let out an ear-piercing scream.
Everyone gaped at Guan Lei, shock and disbelief painting their faces. They never thought Guan Lei would make a move.
Jiang Xue, who stood to one side, heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had dodged in time. Otherwise, she would be the one embarra.s.sed.
Liu Cheng rushed at Guan Lei, screaming her hate, but she paused when she saw him grab another. All that remained was her burning anger.
She glared at Guan Lei.
“Guan Lei, how could you do something like that to a woman? You’re no man!” Jiang Xue jeered.
Guan Lei set his sights on Jiang Xue when she said those words about him. Gloomily, he said, “My family collects junk. What’s wrong with me taking out the trash? I don’t see any women here, just garbage to be thrown out. If you keep talking, you’ll be next!”
Jiang Xue was taken aback. She did not think Guan Lei would have the nerve to offend her. Just as she was about to vent her anger on him, she remembered how Guan Lei effortlessly beat up Xiang Cheng without any consequences. Her intuition warned her to tread lightly around Guan Lei.
Helpless, Jiang Xue pulled out some tissues to help Liu Cheng clean herself up. She also advised her to return to their dormitory for a shower and a change of clothes.
The gathered crowd disappeared as soon as Jiang Xue and Liu Cheng left.
Zhao Yuan was extremely satisfied with how Guan Lei had handled the matter. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that Shen Xi and Guan Lei were a good match.
Meanwhile, Shen Xi was apologizing profusely to the girl whose food had turned into ammunition. Her thoughtless action resulted in the girl’s food being thrown at Liu Cheng.
The girl’s name was Li Jin. Shen Xi and company were acquainted with her.
Li Jin blushed, highlighting her chubby cheeks cutely. “It’s okay,” she whispered, “I’ll just go and get another plate.”
“Let me pay for it. I’m to blame for what happened to your lunch.” Shen Xi took out her meal card and was about to get Li Jin a new lunch when Guan Lei stopped her.
He stuffed his meal card in Li Jin’s hands and said, “Use mine. I was the one who threw the plate.”
Perhaps she was shocked by Guan Lei’s actions, but Li Jin’s face seemed to grow redder by the second. She stood there, not knowing what to do, holding onto Guan Lei’s meal card.
Seeing that she needed a little push, Zhao Yuan clasped Li Jin’s shoulder, speaking in a clear and confident voice, “What are you standing there for? Let’s go and get you some food!”
Li Jin peeked up at Shen Xi and glanced at Guan Lei before allowing Zhao Yuan to guide her away.
Shen Xi gently tugged Guan Lei’s arm, drawing him aside to examine his arm.
“I threw it with my left hand; my right hand is fine.” Much of the chill in Guan Lei’s expression had dispersed by then.
“What if you hurt your right hand by accident?” Shen Xi hissed unhappily. “What if you aggravate your injuries?”
Guan Lei peered down, meeting Shen Xi’s eyes. “Ah? Is that concern I’m hearing? Are you worried about me? Do you feel bad?” He teased, a smile on his lips.
Guan Lei’s reaction nearly gave Shen Xi whiplash, and she even stopped breathing, if only momentarily. She panicked when she stared into those deep eyes and quickly backed away.
“What are you talking about? Who’d be worried about you? I didn’t want you to worsen your injuries, that’s all. I guess I’ll need to help you for a few more days.
Shen Xi’s fl.u.s.tered expression was extremely cute in Guan Lei’s eyes. If only her words would match her appearance…
“You wound me! Here I am defending your honor, yet you don’t even care about me…” Guan Lei straightened, sounding forlorn.
Shen Xi could not explain why she refused to admit that she was concerned for Guan Lei. There was something off about the situation, but she could not put her finger on it… When Guan Lei sighed, sounding so defeated, she could not help but flush in embarra.s.sment.
Guan Lei continued to study Shen Xi, who had her head bowed. He was in a good mood. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Let’s go and have lunch at Auspicious Dragon Hall. Chef w.a.n.g recently made a new dish and asked me to sample it. It’s on the house.”
Shen Xi was still lost in thought as Guan Lei led her along.
