Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 345 - 317: Hero Saves the Beauty
"Then you head back to the dorm, I’ll wander around alone for a while."
Guo Rong was clearly very disappointed, as he had mustered all his courage to speak up today. He didn’t know if he would have the nerve to ask again next time.
"Then I’ll head back to the dorm." Bai Ruolan was actually quite pleased with Guo Rong’s silly demeanor, or else she wouldn’t have gotten involved with him.
Both were somewhat interested, but breaking through the final barrier was still a bit difficult.
After Bai Ruolan had walked away, Lin Tian suddenly popped out and patted Guo Rong on the shoulder.
"Hey! Buddy!"
"Ah!"
Guo Rong screamed, nearly collapsing to the ground in fright.
"Lin Tian, when did you get back? You scared me to death!"
"What misdeeds have you been up to? Why else would you be so scared?" Lin Tian decided to tease Guo Rong, who indeed blushed with embarrassment.
"What misdeeds could I commit? Come on, let’s head to the dorm."
"No way, Guo Rong, today I think you should treat me to a big meal."
Lin Tian didn’t move, expecting Guo Rong to treat him to a lavish meal.
"Why on earth?"
"Just now, a certain fatso seemed to be making a date! Lanlan, it’s so late today, why don’t we not head back to the dorm?"
Lin Tian deliberately imitated Guo Rong’s earlier words in an exaggeratedly coquettish voice, causing Guo Rong’s face to turn pale.
"Lin Tian, you mustn’t speak of this. Lanlan and I haven’t settled things yet, and Lanlan would be mad if she knew."
Guo Rong looked terribly anxious.
"Tsk tsk, you’ve even started calling her ’Lanlan’. Seems like you’re getting pretty skilled, kid. However, if you don’t want me to talk, you’ll have to treat me to a big meal." Lin Tian had Guo Rong cornered, and with a pained expression, Guo Rong agreed to the meal.
For a foodie, the prospect of treating someone else to a meal was particularly painful.
Typically, it’s either they eat, or they get treated.
Shoulder to shoulder, the two men arrived at a barbecue stall, one of Lin Tian’s favorite spots, and one he frequented often. The owner was familiar with them.
"Lin Tian, really, you can’t let this out. Lanlan is very introverted. If others talked, she might stop acknowledging me."
"Guo Rong, you’re going about this all wrong. Is it necessary to be so secretive about being in a relationship?" Lin Tian felt there was something wrong with Guo Rong’s approach.
Guo Rong was actually very self-conscious, being unattractive and a food lover, with a broad and chubby figure.
Bai Ruolan was so beautiful, and deep down, he always felt he didn’t deserve her.
"Just make sure you don’t tell anyone."

Lin Tian, seeing how adamant Guo Rong was, immediately patted his chest and said, no problem, I definitely won’t tell anyone.
Only after receiving Lin Tian’s firm reply did Guo Rong feel relieved.
The two were enjoying their meal when suddenly, a disheveled woman ran out of a nearby alley.
The woman was running and shouting loudly.
"Help, help!"
Following the woman, four or five men emerged, each holding a dagger.
Some men who initially thought of playing the hero immediately shrank back, not daring to show themselves.
These days, there are many who are passionate, but most are cowards.
The woman, running hurriedly, suddenly stepped on a stone and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
The woman was about to be caught by the men.
"You ****, you dare to run, we’re going to gang **** on you today!"
Just then, someone stepped forward.
A not-so-strong figure stood in front of the woman. Lin Tian didn’t look at the fallen woman but stared coldly at the five men wielding daggers.
"What kind of skill is it to bully a woman?"
"Yo, someone actually dares to step up! Let’s all go together and give this kid a few holes," they said.
The five men looked particularly fierce and without a word, charged at Lin Tian with their daggers.
There was no technique to their attack, just raw aggression.
Facing such attacks, Lin Tian managed effortlessly, easily dodging the assaults. With a swift kick, he struck the bald leader in the stomach.
The powerful blow sent the bald man flying.
The remaining men, seeing Lin Tian’s formidable response, immediately thought of retreating.
But before they could act, Lin Tian knocked all of them to the ground with a kick each.
Lin Tian’s intention was for these men to learn a harsh lesson, but they were cunning and quickly disappeared the moment they sensed trouble.
"Are you alright?"
After dealing with the bad guys, Lin Tian turned and reached out a hand to the woman on the ground.
Only then did Lin Tian have the chance to observe the woman on the ground. He noticed that she was stunningly beautiful, with a seductive figure.
Especially her long white legs, which were very eye-catching. No wonder those thugs had intended to assault her.
"I’m fine. Thank you, if it weren’t for you, I, I don’t know what would have become of me today."
The woman’s voice was very soft, invoking sympathy.
Lin Daiyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber isn’t actually that beautiful, but her constantly melancholic demeanor is very endearing.
Such a woman inherently evokes a man’s protective urge.
"Get up and see if you can walk?"
Lin Tian reached out his hand, and the beautiful woman stretched her delicate hand on top of Lin Tian’s, trying to stand up with his help.
However, as soon as she stood up, she lost her balance and fell directly into Lin Tian’s arms.
Their bodies were tightly pressed together, and Lin Tian hadn’t expected such a stroke of luck to come flying his way.
Despite this, he felt no affection towards the beautiful woman. When she fell into him, it was obvious that she was acting, which Lin Tian greatly disliked.
"It seems I can’t walk anymore. Could you perhaps take me home?"
It was clear this woman was trying to seduce Lin Tian, but of course, he had no intention of taking the bait.
Unfortunately, Guo Rong, the foodie, completely misread the situation and immediately started encouraging Lin Tian to comply with the beautiful woman’s request.
"Why not just take her home, Lin Tian? Look how pitiful this beauty is. What if she encounters some bad guys on the way?"

"Why don’t you take her then?" Lin Tian muttered to himself, cursing the foodie for his lack of perceptiveness.
"Me? I just got a girlfriend, and I am not the one to mess around. I have to keep myself clean."
Guo Rong’s serious demeanor made Lin Tian chuckle. The foodie seemed truly smitten.
"No need, I’ll just head home myself."
After thinking it over for a while, the beautiful woman left Lin Tian’s embrace and walked away with a swing in her steps.
"Lin Tian, quickly take her home. Something else might happen."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Tian followed her.
"Miss, let me take you home."
"That would be wonderful!" The woman showed no reserve at all and flung herself back into Lin Tian’s arms, relying on him for support.
"Where do you live?"
Lin Tian had decided to follow her merely to see what the beautiful woman’s intention was in seducing him.
He didn’t believe that by saving her once, she would be this forward. It wasn’t just being forward; it was blatant seduction.
"Just ahead. Oh, I really don’t want to live in this place anymore. Every time I come home, my heart is in my throat."
Through their conversation, Lin Tian learned that this beautiful woman’s name was Chen Xiaomei, which obviously sounded like a pseudonym. Lin Tian, however, did not change his name and continued to introduce himself as Lin Tian.
Chen Xiaomei’s home turned out not to be too far, and they soon arrived.
"I live alone. Could you just take me upstairs? My legs are not very convenient right now."
Once downstairs, Chen Xiaomei became even more straightforward.
Lin Tian suspected that this might be a set-up targeting him, so he pretended to be very interested.
"Alright, I’ll take you upstairs."
"Why don’t you carry me up? My foot is twisted and it’s a bit swollen now."
The woman’s voice was very soft, perfectly triggering a man’s protective instincts.
Lin Tian thought about it and, pretending to be very eager, picked up Chen Xiaomei.
Chen Xiaomei lived on the fourth floor, which wasn’t very high.
"Why do you live alone?"
"This place is cheap, entirely affordable on my own. But the rent is a big chunk of my monthly expenses. I really wish someone could share the load. Would you like to be my roommate?"
Chen Xiaomei subtly hinted at wanting something more exciting with Lin Tian, and Lin Tian casually responded, eventually helping her into her room.
Chen Xiaomei’s apartment was quite large and fully furnished.
"You’re home now, can I leave?"
"Don’t rush! You took me upstairs and I haven’t even thanked you yet. There are drinks in the fridge; help yourself."
"I’m not thirsty!"
"I am thirsty; take one out for me."
Chen Xiaomei seemed fixated on the drink, and Lin Tian opened the fridge only to find two bottles of Sprite.
What a coincidence, he thought and took them both out.
"Don’t be shy, consider it a reward for saving me. Cheers!"
Chen Xiaomei appeared intent on getting Lin Tian to drink the Sprite.
Lin Tian pretended to take a sip, keeping the liquid in his mouth before discreetly spitting it into the trash can when Chen Xiaomei wasn’t looking.
The whole situation with Chen Xiaomei appearing so suddenly, and those villains leaving too quickly, seemed off. Lin Tian had come upstairs just to see what was really up with Chen Xiaomei.
"Lin Tian, really, thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for you, those bad guys would have bullied me. My foot is so swollen, maybe you could massage it for me?"
"Sure!"
Lin Tian pretended to massage Chen Xiaomei’s foot while carefully watching her expression.
After a while, he pretended something was wrong. Although Chen Xiaomei repeatedly called for Lin Tian, he didn’t respond.
Chen Xiaomei quickly snuck out a text message.
Just a few minutes later, footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Pretending to be unconscious, Lin Tian’s lips curved slightly upward; the woman was indeed up to no good. Moreover, these people were apparently trying to trap him, although he didn’t know who exactly was targeting him.
"Xiaomei! You are so cunning. The moment you step in, this guy falls for it."
The group that burst in was the same one that had troubled Chen Xiaomei earlier, causing Lin Tian to criticize their lack of professionalism.
Too unprofessional, really. Couldn’t they at least have switched to a different group of people?
"You bunch of fools, several of you couldn’t even handle one man, but luckily I had a backup plan. This time, Young Master Zhang will surely reward us well."
