Upon hearing Ye Linchen's question, the student pointed to Liu Mingxuan, who was bent over, fumbling for his glasses on the beach.
"We wouldn't say we knew each other, it was just a coincidence. On our first day in Haicheng, after discussing the rooftop pool party with you, we ran into him at the soft drink stand. He said he had also studied in Jiangcheng and now works in a steel factory. He was traveling with friends and, being unfamiliar with the area, didn't know what to do, so he asked if he could give us some suggestions on our itinerary."
He continued somewhat embarrassedly, "We thought that we were all from the same hometown and that it wasn't easy for us to be away from home, so we told him about the activities we had planned and the places we wanted to go."
Upon hearing this, Feng Linlin immediately understood.
"No wonder! I was wondering why we kept running into him wherever we went. It turns out he was deliberately trying to find out about us and following us!"
"Pah! Shameless! You try to seduce every woman you see. Do you really think you're some reincarnation of the White Bone Demon, with endless charm?"
Lin Xiaojuan also spat at Liu Mingxuan.
Liu Mingxuan groped around on the ground for a long time but couldn't find his glasses. After hearing Feng Linlin's words, he quickly got up, squinted, walked up to the student, and looked him up and down.
The student felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and frowned, saying, "You don't recognize me, do you? You told us your surname is Liu, that you did your undergraduate studies in another city, and your postgraduate studies at Jiangcheng Institute of Technology, right?"
It took Liu Mingxuan a long time to recognize him.
He forced a smile, trying his best to maintain a debonair demeanor.
"Oh, it's you... Oh, I'm sorry, my glasses are gone, so I can't see you clearly... Could you help me find my glasses?"
Ye Linchen didn't give him a chance, coldly saying, "Stop talking nonsense! I'm just asking you, is this true? Were you deliberately trying to find out about our itinerary? What are your motives for following us?"
Liu Mingxuan couldn't see people clearly, and without glasses to cover his vision, his courage waned.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain, "I...I had no idea you were together...I only inquired about the itinerary so that Xiao Meng and I could have a better time. Is that wrong?"
"Heh, you're even better at playing the game?" Lin Xiaojuan sneered, mercilessly exposing his lie. "What a coincidence! They had just finished talking to Ye Linchen, and you immediately went to them to inquire. You still dare to say it wasn't intentional?"
"I……"
Liu Mingxuan was speechless for a moment, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.
What bad luck! How did this person end up here too? Now things are all messed up.
However, he was resourceful and clever, and with a quick thought, he came up with another reason.
"Why would I ask about her? I don't even like her! She's not even half as good-looking as Zihan, and her figure isn't as good as Xiaomeng's. You're just being delusional and thinking too much!"
Now that things have come to this, Liu Mingxuan can't care about anything else and can only push everything onto Ye Linchen.
She insisted that she had no intention of having anything with Ye Linchen, and that Ye Linchen was just being delusional and overthinking things, which allowed her to extricate herself from the situation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Linchen was furious and laughed coldly, saying, "Oh? Is that so? You're telling me that you'll dump Meng Zihan and be with me with just one word from me? You think I'm just being delusional?"
Liu Mingxuan was startled, glanced in the direction where Meng Zihan was sitting, and quickly denied it.
"I didn't say that! You're lying! Even if I did say it, it was you who deliberately seduced me! You were wearing such a revealing swimsuit, lying in front of me, and when I talked to you, you were still posing seductively and looking at me with alluring eyes. You were clearly trying to seduce me! The way you looked at me was full of adoration!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Yanlin, who was standing to the side, threw a punch.
Liu Mingxuan spoke with trepidation, nervously watching Ye Linchen's every move, afraid that he might say something wrong and provoke her to attack again. He was mentally prepared to dodge at any moment.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Linchen didn't move. It was Shen Yanlin who suddenly launched an attack. Without his glasses, his eyesight was poor, and he misjudged the situation. By the time Shen Yanlin's fist came, it was too late to dodge. He could only subconsciously turn his face to the side, and the fist slammed into his cheekbone.
Ouch!
Liu Mingxuan felt a sharp pain on his face, saw stars before his eyes, and was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were shattered and his soul was about to leave his body.
It’s over!
Four or five students from Jiangcheng Academy of Fine Arts came this time. They all looked tall and strong. If they all attacked together, I would be crippled if I didn't die today!
He could no longer maintain his polite demeanor and began to howl recklessly.
"Ah! Murder! Help! Several people are attacking one of us! Is anyone going to do anything about this?!"
Meng Zihan was sitting on the ground crying her heart out when she heard Liu Mingxuan's screams and saw that the person who hit her was Shen Yanlin. She stood up and tried to rush up to stop Shen Yanlin.
Ye Linchen, that country bumpkin, was envious and jealous of her, and had long been plotting to beat her up. But Shen Yanlin, a man, wouldn't lay a hand on her, who was so delicate, would he?
Lin Xiaojuan, standing to the side, saw through Meng Zihan's thoughts at a glance. When she saw Meng Zihan running over, she quietly stuck out a foot and tripped Meng Zihan.
Meng Zihan lost her balance and fell forward, landing hard on the beach and getting a mouthful of sand in her mouth.
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"
She spat out the sand in her mouth in a disheveled manner, turned her head and glared at Lin Xiaojuan, "Why did you trip me!"
"What do you think?" Lin Xiaojuan rolled her eyes at her.
Liu Mingxuan's eyes lit up when he saw Meng Zihan.
This is my own human shield!
He stumbled and ran behind Meng Zihan, trying to escape Shen Yanlin's pursuit.
Shen Yanlin, fists clenched, chased after him relentlessly.
Several classmates behind him tried to persuade him to stop.
"Shen Yanlin, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out."
"Shen Yanlin, don't do it!"
The people around cheered, "Beat him! Beat him! It's no use reasoning with this trash, we have to beat him!"
The scene, which had just calmed down, became chaotic again.
Shen Yanlin ignored his classmates' advice and only chased after Liu Mingxuan to beat him.
His combat power is much stronger than Ye Linchen's.
Liu Mingxuan could barely dodge Ye Linchen, but he was completely suppressed by Shen Yanlin in terms of both height and aura.
He was enveloped by Shen Yanlin's fist wind and was powerless to resist. He was beaten black and blue, dizzy and disoriented. In the end, he could only cover his head, curl up into a ball, squat on the ground, and keep groaning.
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please, please stop hitting me!"
He was filled with hatred, hating himself for being blind to have thought of provoking Ye Linchen and getting involved with such a group of ruthless individuals!
Fortunately, the police officers from the local police station received the report and arrived in time to stop Shen Yanlin; otherwise, he might have been seriously injured today!
