Chapter 84: Another Encounter in the Cafeteria
Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Another Encounter in the Cafeteria
"Such nonsense!" Lin Xi stood at the school gate, watching the police car drive away, and complained with a bit of confusion.
He’s not joking — anyone with functioning eyes could see it at a glance!
You have to know that any extra weight doesn’t have much effect normally, but once a fight starts, it becomes quite a burden.
Actually, Lin Xi had talked about this issue with her, and to be honest, he felt quite conflicted and torn inside because, after all, what man doesn’t like his woman to be a bit bigger?
After returning to the dorm, he found that Peng Bo and the others were still sleeping, showing no signs of waking up.
Lin Xi didn’t continue to call them, since these days there wasn’t anything of importance for them anyway, especially since the freshman welcome activities had nothing to do with them.
After showering, Lin Xi changed his clothes and suddenly felt very hungry, only just remembering he hadn’t eaten a thing since the morning.
He quickly arrived at the cafeteria, heading straight to where he ordered stir-fried dishes yesterday, and found a nice spot, speaking to the lady boss, "The same as yesterday."
"Still a big bowl of rice?" The lady boss had a deep impression of Lin Xi but still confirmed again.
"That’s right." Lin Xi nodded with a smile.
Several classmates nearby cast curious glances at Lin Xi, but seeing that he was of average height, they thought they had heard wrong and didn’t pay much attention.
It was noon then, with more people eating compared to yesterday afternoon, so Lin Xi’s dish had to wait a bit longer to be ready.
Bored, he took out his phone, opened WeChat, and saw a message from Wang Xian asking where it came from, accompanied by a smiley face.
Lin Xi replied with a message saying it was given by her brother, assuming she wouldn’t directly ask him.
After waiting for a while, Wang Xian didn’t reply, presumably because she was not around at that moment.
He clicked into the class group chat, where there were hundreds of unread messages, mostly discussing the freshman welcome event, with the class monitor Li Neng taking the lead in arrangements and plans.
Lin Xi wasn’t interested in these matters.
Later, he greeted Bai Bing and sent Zhu Ying a message asking whether she followed his advice.
At that moment, Lin Xi felt a pat on his shoulder and saw a boy with a roguish look standing in front of him.
"Hey, you go eat over there." The boy pointed to another long table not far away.
Lin Xi looked over, noticing that the table was cluttered with plates left from previous diners, and the trolley lady hadn’t had time to clean up.
"Sure." Eating is eating anywhere, Lin Xi wasn’t really concerned, however, "Clean the table first, then talk to me."
"Hahaha..."
A burst of laughter erupted behind Lin Xi, the several people behind him clearly in cahoots with this boy, now laughing at him.
This drew the attention of the lady boss recording the menu she secretly gave Lin Xi several looks, suggesting this group shouldn’t be messed with and he should quickly bow his head and apologize.
Other students eating nearby also paid and hurriedly left without even having the courage to watch.
"Are you looking for trouble!" The roguish boy had his face blindsided by Lin Xi and felt embarrassed amidst his companions’ laughter.
Without saying much, he reached out swiftly towards Lin Xi’s collar, seemingly intending to drag Lin Xi up and give him a beating or something.
Good plan, but unfortunately, he met Lin Xi.
The group behind Lin Xi joined in causing a ruckus, attracting several onlookers from afar within the cafeteria, but they just glanced over, feeling somewhat intimidated before minding their own business again.
Apparently, this group had quite a ’reputation’ at school.
Lin Xi shook his head; he just wanted to have a decent meal without issues.
When the roguish boy’s hand was only a few centimeters from Lin Xi’s neck, Lin Xi grabbed it upwards, managing to seize this person’s wrist.
With a slight force, he tugged back and suddenly let go.
"Boom!"
This person crashed into the group behind Lin Xi, seemingly taking two others down with him as he fell on them.
At this time, Lin Xi stood up, turned around, and looked at this group.
There were four remaining individuals, looking stunned but quickly enraged.
However, they didn’t immediately strike Lin Xi; instead, they pulled the roguish boy aside and helped up another male pinned beneath, seemingly the leader.
"Xu Fei?" Seeing this person, Lin Xi was taken aback.
This was the very person who came looking for trouble with Lin Xi on his first day at school, and after being beaten by Lin Xi, he wasn’t pleased and even fetched his brother, kidnapping Peng Bo and the others.
Ultimately, even his brother and his group got severely beaten by Lin Xi.
"You damn..." Xu Fei was pulled up, looking extremely displeased, but when he glanced at Lin Xi, the words in his throat came to an abrupt halt.
It was evident that if not for the support from two others beside him, he would have trembled enough to collapse again.
Lin Xi had become a lingering fear within Xu Fei’s mind.
The roguish boy next to him didn’t recognize Lin Xi and had already charged forth, about to curse when Xu Fei held him back and slapped him hard.
"Blind, are you?" Xu Fei knew he couldn’t avoid it and shouted, "This is Brother Lin; is he someone you can provoke?"
Without paying attention to his stunned friends, he managed the courage to run towards Lin Xi with a pleading tone, "Brother Lin, honestly, I didn’t know it was you; if I had known, I wouldn’t dare let him!"
"Please be generous and spare us this time!"
He deeply regretted the situation, wishing he could teach the ignorant person a lesson, but feeling hard done by inside, wondering how even a simple meal led to encountering this nutcase.
His brother had repeatedly warned him following the Wild Chicken Mountain incident that in future if he encountered Lin Xi, he’d better steer clear.
A person like this can’t be messed with.
He heard from others about everything that happened while he was unconscious after the incident.
"Boss, why be scared? There are seven of us; let’s beat him!" The roguish boy rubbed his face and, seeing Xu Fei’s respect, couldn’t understand why Xu Fei was frightened.
"Shut up!"
Xu Fei almost exploded in anger, pointing to his two friends, signaling for them to take him away, or else if they angered this ruthless person, the whole group would pay the price.
Lin Xi glanced towards the kitchen, noticing the boss had finished preparing several dishes, but the lady boss merely stood by, afraid to serve.
Gurgle gurgle!
Lin Xi’s stomach growled with hunger; feeling too lazy to deal with Xu Fei’s group, he ordered, "Just get the hell out of here."
"Okay, okay, okay." Xu Fei gratefully signaled the others, quickly slipping away from the cafeteria.
Those who had noticed this scene in the cafeteria felt it was quite unbelievable.
