Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 218 - 217: Kick Him Whenever I See Him

(On the first day of the New Year, the evil young master once again wished everyone a happy New Year and asked for some lucky money ^^!)

————————————————

"Hmm, Senior, go on with your work, I’m fine now, really thank you."

Xiao Yi nodded, expressing his gratitude.

Although he hadn’t heard the news he wanted from Han Lu, and was somewhat disappointed, his overwhelming sensation was one of gratitude. She had seen a school announcement and then took it upon herself to step in and ask about it. And now, she even made a special call to comfort him. That kindness was laid out before him.

"Don’t mention it; you’ve shown us such great kindness. If anyone should be saying thanks, it should be me. My uncle has arrived, so I should hang up now. I’ll chat with you another day."

Han Lu said this as she heard her uncle’s prompting voice from the doorway. After she spoke, she hurriedly hung up the phone.

"Goodbye!"

Putting his phone down, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but shake his head, his face revealing a bitter smile. Who would have thought that the Han Family would end up getting involved in this affair.

"Ring ring..."

No sooner had Xiao Yi slipped his phone into his pocket than he heard the shrill sound of a ringing phone.

"Zhang Yuhuan calling."

Taking out his phone and seeing the incoming caller ID, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but be slightly startled again. The people calling him today were indeed unexpected. Without further thought, as the ringtone sounded urgently once more, he quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is this Xiao Yi?"

As soon as the call connected, Zhang Yuhuan’s voice came through.

"Yes, Senior Zhang, what is it?"

Xiao Yi nodded as he spoke.

Zhang Yuhuan was slightly taken aback. She always loved reading, diving into all kinds of books. Having read quite a few on psychology, she found Xiao Yi’s way of answering the phone - his simple inquiry, "What is it?" - to be very typical. But ideologically, it signified a very proactive mindset. Especially from the tone of Xiao Yi’s voice, she felt there was not the slightest pretense, which seemed perfectly normal. Psychologically speaking, it was an extremely proactive attitude.

It showed that in his mind, it was always him helping others, never the other way around, and certainly no hint of pleading!

Reflecting upon their meetings, particularly the last dinner they shared and their parting conversation, a certain inexpressible feeling arose in her heart. And now, understanding that earlier sensation, she felt more at ease.

It seemed he had always been this sort of person.

But, what kind of person was he really? How could an ordinary student from the countryside have such a strong sense of initiative?

"Senior?"

Seeing that Zhang Yuhuan had fallen silent all of a sudden, with no sound for a good while, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but ask again.

"Oh, it’s nothing. Xiao Yi, I saw yesterday that you were expelled by the school. Has the issue been resolved now?"

Hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, Zhang Yuhuan finally snapped back to reality, remembering the reason for her call, and asked with concern.

"Senior, you know about that too?"

Xiao Yi didn’t expect that Zhang Yuhuan would know about it and was startled that she was asking about it.

"Yes, I saw it on the school announcement last night. How is it now, all sorted out? Has the school given you any response?"

Zhang Yuhuan nodded as she asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior. It has been resolved, the school has withdrawn the punishment."

Xiao Yi quickly replied.

"Oh, that’s good, hehe."

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Zhang Yuhuan immediately sighed with relief, "Xiao Yi, you really should have told me something was wrong, why didn’t you say anything?"

What use would telling you be?

Xiao Yi thought to himself, but he still politely said, "I’m really grateful for your concern, Senior. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to tell you, it’s just that the incident had just happened. I felt there was no need to trouble you with it, but if I ever really need help, I will definitely tell you right away."

No need?

No need my foot! Do you think Z University is a place where the school leaders will change decisions arbitrarily? If no one spoke out, even if the school knew it was wrong to handle your case that way, they might not change the decision.

Zhang Yuhuan thought to herself, but of course, she would not say these thoughts to Xiao Yi, as that might seem like she was angling for credit. That’s something she would never do; it wasn’t in her nature.

Hearing Xiao Yi say he would tell her if needed, a sweetness rose in her heart, and she couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth slightly, forming a smile, "Is that true?"

"Of course it’s true."

Xiao Yi smiled.

"I hope so, teehee." Zhang Yuhuan smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks, but then, as if she remembered something, the smile on her face tightened, and she asked Xiao Yi, "By the way, Xiao Yi, those people haven’t been looking for you lately, have they?"

"No."

Xiao Yi was briefly startled before it dawned on him that Zhang Yuhuan was referring to the people who had tried to assassinate her. The multiple assassination attempts he had thwarted meant the assassins were likely to harbor a grudge against him, of that he was certain. However, to his surprise, they had been quiet so far without making any moves, which puzzled him.

"That’s good."

Zhang Yuhan’s tense expression relaxed all of a sudden, and she let out a breath.

"Thanks for your concern, Senior," she said.

Although Xiao Yi had always felt that even if those assassins came after him, telling Zhang Yuhan would be of no use, nor would he tell her, he was still somewhat touched by the concern evident in Zhang Yuhan’s tone.

"Why are you saying this? The trouble started because of me,if anyone should be saying thanks, it should be me thanking you," she said.

Zhang Yuhan shook her head, then said seriously, "Xiao Yi, you must remember to tell me if you really get into trouble. If something happens to you because of me, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

"Okay," he replied.

Hearing Zhang Yuhan’s serious words, Xiao Yi, despite still feeling skeptical, nodded firmly, accepting her concerns.

"Okay, I won’t disturb you anymore. Remember to contact me anytime; my phone’s on 24 hours a day."

Seeing Xiao Yi accept her words with such solemnity brought a slight smile to Zhang Yuhan’s face.

"Okay, see you, Senior!"

After hanging up the phone, a trace of confusion appeared on Xiao Yi’s face. Judging from Zhang Yuhan’s tone, could it be that she really had a way to help? But if she did, then why would she keep getting hunted down? Whenever she was targeted, there was never any protection around her.

After pondering for a bit, Xiao Yi shook his head, still unable to figure it out.

"Ring ring..."

The phone rang once again.

Xiao Yi quickly took out his phone and looked at the caller ID.

"Zeng Xiaomei calling."

What’s happening today?

Why are all the calls coming in at the same time?

Looking at the caller ID, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.

"Brother Xiao, where are you now?"

As soon as Xiao Yi pressed the answer button, he heard Zeng Xiaomei’s voice.

"I’m at school. Why didn’t you come to class today?"

"Are the Four Idiots at school?"

"I saw them just now; they’ve probably gone home by now. What do you want with them?" Xiao Yi asked, a bit puzzled.

"Brother Xiao, did you kick those four idiots hard?"

"No," he replied.

A line of frustration crossed Xiao Yi’s forehead.

"Why didn’t you kick them? I’m telling you, Brother Xiao, the next time you see those idiots, you have to kick them to death. I’m so mad; those idiots dared to plot behind my back when I wasn’t at school and tried to get you expelled!"

"Alright, I’ll kick them every time I see them."

Xiao Yi was taken aback, not expecting that Zeng Xiaoxiao wanted to kick them out of anger on his behalf. Listening to the frustrated voice on the other end, Xiao Yi felt a hint of warmth in his heart, agreeing for the first time with her violent suggestion.

"Brother Xiao, you’re the one who said it, so let’s settle on that!"

"Yeah, it’s settled," he agreed, nodding his head.

"Hehe, okay, Brother Xiao, don’t worry. I won’t let their conspiracy succeed, and you definitely won’t get expelled. That’s all for now; I’ll be in school tomorrow. See you then!"

Having received a firm response from Xiao Yi, Zeng Xiaoxiao chuckled and hung up the phone.

This girl!

Hearing the dead tone on the phone, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but shake his head. This girl was still as forthright as ever, in such a rush to hang up without even giving him a chance to say goodbye.

However, it was fortunate that she had been absent from school for the past couple of days; he thought she wouldn’t have known about it, but the news still reached her ears. Had she been in the classroom just now, things would probably have turned upside down.

Surprisingly, what he thought was a minor matter seemed to have become known to the entire world.

Reflecting on the calls he had received, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly, yet he felt a soft warmth in his heart.

............

Damn traffic jam, all because of that idiot in front. If that jerk hadn’t violated traffic rules and caused an accident, there wouldn’t have been a jam. Some people just can’t drive but still drive so recklessly, served him right for getting hit!

Zhang Wudao crawled his Toyota through the school gate, cursing inwardly as he drove.

He should have reached school half an hour ago, but only now had he arrived.

However, recalling last night’s events quickly brightened Zhang Wudao’s mood, and a smile spread across his face once more. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
