Chapter 109
Even Long Aotian was curiously staring over there.
They watched for a moment, and the four of them tucked their hands into their pockets and walked over.
There were too many people, and they could vaguely hear curses like "bitch" being thrown around.
"Hey, it looks like there's a fight?"
"Really? I’m going to check it out."
Using his physical advantage and overwhelming curiosity, Long Aotian squeezed his way through the crowd.
In his forties, wearing glasses, with a bit of flab on his face, he was not very tall and somewhat overweight.
In one hand, he held a bottle of iced red tea, while with the other, he was harassing a young girl: "You took my drink, so you have to come with me. That’s the rule!"
"Isn’t it just that you want to raise the price? Come on, name a number, and let your classmates see what kind of person you really are..."
The girl struggled desperately, and upon hearing this, her pale face showed clear signs of panic, leaving only endless fear.
In the struggle, she pushed the flabby-faced man, and in the moment she raised her hand, she knocked his glasses off his face, breaking one of the legs.
The man was momentarily stunned, then released the girl, staring incredulously at the broken glasses on the ground: "You... you actually broke my glasses! Those were my tools for picking up girls!"
Furious, he instinctively hurled the iced red tea at the girl.
Gasps filled the air, and the girl instinctively shrank back in fear.
After watching for a while, Long Aotian finally understood what was happening. The man had placed a bottle of iced red tea on the car roof, and the girl accidentally knocked it off in the crowd.
As a result, he had latched onto her, and even after she made it clear it was an accident, the man still tried to threaten and harass her, leading to this series of events.
Long Aotian, who never drank alcohol, had a strong sense of morality, especially now that he had consumed half a can of freshly tapped beer.
Under everyone’s gaze, he was the first and only one to rush in, using his back to shield the girl from the iced red tea.
"Damn!"
He felt a sharp pain in his back, but then it seemed to fade away, as if all the blood in his body began to flow backward, turning his skin a deep red.
The girl curled up, tightly closing her eyes.
The imagined pain never came, but she heard a muffled curse.
Slowly opening her eyes, she looked at the figure blocking her, seemingly still in shock, her pale face filled with confusion, her eyes wide with fear, tears threatening to spill over.
Long Aotian turned around, his tall, muscular frame, the red skin from the blood flow, and the strong smell of alcohol emanating from him all exuded an aggressive pressure!
The height difference made the man in his forties look terrified as he stared at Long Aotian, his flabby face trembling as he backed away: "No, don’t come any closer..."
"You bastard, so you think it’s okay to bully girls, huh?" He picked up the iced red tea from the ground and raised it, ready to smash it down on the man.
"Ahhh!" The man shouted in panic, scrambling back toward his car.
Any normal person wouldn’t choose to confront someone who had just been drinking!
"Pathetic, picking on the weak," Long Aotian muttered under his breath, then picked up the iced red tea he had just thrown at the man and took a swig.
"Th-thank you." Her voice was a bit cold, but it was clear she was trying hard to suppress her emotions, causing her tone to rise at the end with a special feeling.
"It’s nothing, don’t cry. I can’t stand to see girls cry," Long Aotian waved his hand casually, speaking as if it was just a trivial act.
His voice carried a hint of tipsy nonchalance and laziness, but to the girl, it didn’t feel offensive.
"Damn, Long, you’re amazing!"
The dazed trio snapped back to reality and rushed over.
"Whoa!" Someone slapped him on the back.
Long Aotian immediately inhaled sharply, frowning.
In his slightly tipsy state, he instinctively reached for his back.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, just feeling a bit uncomfortable in my back."
As they spoke, the four of them walked toward their college.
Watching them leave, the girl clenched her fists and jogged after them.
"Wait, wait a second."
Turning around, she saw the girl from earlier running up with iodine and a band-aid in hand.
"Thank you for helping me. I bought some things, and I hope you can use them."
Her cool voice trembled slightly, mixed with an unnoticeable hint of worry...

Chapter 132: Finally, the Day Has Come
She stood there, slightly out of breath, her delicate oval face radiant, with long, straight black hair cascading over her shoulders.
Having run over, some strands stuck to her face, making her skin appear even paler.
Xu Shuai stared for a moment, confidently tossing his hair: "Hello, beautiful, I’m Xu..."
Before he could finish, Li Longlong slapped his face and pushed him aside, grinning confidently: "Hello, beautiful, I’m—hey, hey, hey..."
Huang Fei, who had just pushed Li Longlong aside, straightened up and confidently adjusted his collar: "Hello, beautiful, let’s get acquainted. I’m Huang Fei."
The girl’s eyes flickered, and she nodded slightly, but there was a hint of distance in her demeanor: "Hello, I’m looking for him."
Her voice was clear, like the melting snow from the peaks of the Tibetan mountains, pure yet slightly cold.
Huang Fei felt awkward for a moment, his hand frozen in the air as he awkwardly smiled and stepped aside.
The girl walked toward Long Aotian, holding the iodine and band-aid: "I’m sorry, and thank you."
Sorry for him blocking the bottle that was thrown at her.
Thank you because he was the only one who stood up for her.
"Yeah, it’s nothing," Long Aotian smiled and said, "That kind of old pervert only bullies girls. If he dares to do it again, just call the police, and he’ll behave!"
The girl looked at the iodine and band-aid in her hands, then at the tipsy Long Aotian and the other three swaying around.
Lowering her gaze, her originally sharp and beautiful face suddenly softened: "You’ve been drinking. Let me help you clean the wound; it’s hot out, and I’m worried it might get infected."
Under the streetlight, the girl stood behind Long Aotian, seeing a stranger’s bare upper body for the first time, her pale face involuntarily flushed with a hint of pink.
On his muscular back, there was a swollen area with a small, open wound.
She carefully cleaned it with a cotton swab dipped in iodine.
"Your hands are a bit cold."
The girl paused, feeling a bit shy: "Sorry, I’ll be careful."
Since she had to apply the band-aid, some contact was unavoidable.
"It’s fine, the coolness feels nice."
To the girl, those words felt a bit flirtatious, bordering on offensive.
"Do you say that to other girls often?" The way he said it was so natural, as if he often spoke like this to girls.
"Huh?" Long Aotian turned his head: "What did you say?"
Seeing Long Aotian’s slightly dazed expression, the girl’s lips curled into a faint smile, though she seemed not to smile often, which made her appear a bit cold: "It’s nothing."
Long Aotian straightened up, put on his shirt, and said to the girl: "Thanks."
The girl chuckled softly; this man seemed a bit silly and clumsy when drunk.
Clearly, he was the one who helped her and got hurt in the process; she should be the one thanking him.
But he seemed completely unconcerned.
She placed the iodine and band-aid in Long Aotian’s hands: "Well, I’ll be going now."
As she passed by Huang Fei and the others, she noticed their phones displaying the QQ interface, nodded slightly, and quickened her pace.
"If it weren’t for you two, I would have added her on QQ."
"Shut up."
"Wait, it’s already ten-thirty. What time does the dorm close?"
"I think it’s eleven!" After Long Aotian said this, the others froze for a moment, then they all took off running toward T University.
The girl turned back to watch the four of them sprinting away, her gaze landing on the T University west gate not far away...

"Haah~~"
"Haah haah~~~"
"Haah haah haah~~~~"
Ye Liangchen stood at the subway entrance, taking deep breaths.
"After waiting so long, I finally get to this day. Hehe, this time I will reclaim everything I’ve lost. Those who once looked down on me, and those who didn’t choose me, will all regret it!"
