Chapter 115: Unintentional Provocation
Although the principal repeatedly stated that these things were set up to train students, Lin Yilan felt that the matter was not that simple.
Was it a training method designed to train students? That sharp thorn flashing with a cold light was no joke. Was it just a momentary oversight? Lin Yilan didn't believe it.
The president has been working at Ocean University for so many years. If he could make such a low-level mistake, how could he have held the position of president for so many years?
"Huo Juncheng, I think you can consider having a few bodyguards when you come to Ocean University next time. The conspiracy that even bribed the principal seems to be quite serious." Lin Yilan shrugged and stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"You're here, what are you afraid of?" Hearing Lin Yilan say this, Huo Juncheng didn't think it was a big deal. It was just a few arrows and a few traps. In fact, even if Lin Yilan was not there, he would not be hurt too much. It's just that his dodging movements might not be as graceful as Lin Yilan's.
Lin Yilan glanced back at Huo Juncheng, still a little worried about the situation. She wanted to catch the culprit, but she didn't know where to start. "Forget it, you better not come to Haida for the next two days. I'll just ride my shared bike back home after school."
Huo's fiancée rode a shared bike home. What would it look like if she told others about this? Huo Juncheng was about to speak up to stop Lin Yilan from thinking this, but before he could, Lin Yilan seemed to have thought of something else and dismissed her previous idea.
"But if this happens, it will be hard to find the mastermind behind this..." Lin Yilan was worried about Huo Juncheng's safety being threatened, but she was also worried about finding the person who arranged all this. She couldn't help but feel conflicted, not knowing what to do.
Seeing Lin Yilan's tangled expression, Huo Juncheng raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of helplessness: "It's okay, this little danger doesn't pose a threat to me, don't worry too much."
"With your tiny body..." Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng with a hint of disdain, indicating that she didn't believe what Huo Juncheng had just said: "You are just talking casually. If you really get shot by an arrow, you will suffer the consequences."
Huo Juncheng knew that Lin Yilan was a skilled martial artist; after all, she had been cultivating in the mountains for over a decade. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable being looked down upon by Lin Yilan time and time again. Looking at the slightly arrogant woman beside him, he suddenly felt the urge to kiss her, and of course, he did so.
"Huo Juncheng, are you sick? Just speak nicely. Why do you have nothing to do but talk nonsense? Do you think I dare not hit you?" Because Huo Juncheng's sudden move, Lin Yilan had no time to react. She just stood there in a daze, accepting this brief kiss.
When Huo Juncheng distanced himself from her again, she finally realized what had just happened, and she exploded instantly.
Huo Juncheng had seen her angry face before, so he had experience with it. Without stopping, he walked straight towards the parking lot. Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng's back, and the corner of her mouth twitched. Even if Huo Juncheng relied on his long legs, he was no match for her.
Lin Yilan hadn't originally intended to beat Huo Juncheng, but now, Huo Juncheng's self-righteous behavior had aroused her competitive spirit. Did he really think she couldn't catch up with him?
"Huo Juncheng, watch out!" Lin Yilan twisted her neck, turned both her hands into fists, and rushed directly towards Huo Juncheng. Huo Juncheng seemed to have anticipated this behavior of Lin Yilan.
Feeling Lin Yilan approaching, he tilted his body slightly, making Lin Yilan miss: "Huo Juncheng, you... you actually dodged it?" Lin Yilan never expected that Huo Juncheng could dodge her fist, and she couldn't accept it for a moment.
Seeing this, Huo Juncheng said nothing. He approached Lin Yilan, stretched out his hand and held her in his arms. "Yilan, although my martial arts skills are not as good as yours, I am not as weak as you think. Sometimes I also know some basic defensive techniques."
Huo Juncheng finished speaking and scratched Lin Yilan's nose: "And after spending these days with you, I feel that my body has recovered a lot. Coupled with the pills you prescribed for me, I feel refreshed now."
Hearing Huo Juncheng praise the pills he made, Lin Yilan couldn't help but feel proud. Those were his own secret recipe of Ten-fold Tonic Pills, so of course they worked.
"Since you're so capable, you should come pick me up at Haida University next time. That way it will be easier for me to find the murderer."
"No problem." After Huo Juncheng said that, he reluctantly let go of Lin Yilan's waist, held Lin Yilan's hand with one hand, and led her towards the parking lot.
The situation at Haida University was still shrouded in mystery, while the Chu family's affairs were even more fraught. A few days after Chu Xi was brought back to the Chu family, her mother began preparing for a press conference, deciding to announce Chu Xi's background.
Although Chu Siran tried her best to stop her, she still couldn't change her mother's decision. Chu Siran was really bitter. Although Chu Xi's identity seemed flawless, but from Chu Xi's behavior of saying one thing to her and another behind her back, she felt that Chu Xi was definitely not a member of the Chu family.
In front of Chu's mother, Chu Xi was like a quiet little rabbit, answering her questions obediently. However, when Chu's mother was not around, Chu Xi would provoke her in every possible way, and her smug look made her feel sick.
Originally, his father and he were on his side, but due to the threats from Chu's mother and Chu Xi's current flattery, he now has a neutral attitude.
But Chu Siran couldn't do that. She still couldn't accept Chu Xi entering the Chu family. If Chu Xi was in this family, there would be no Chu Siran. If she wanted Chu Siran to stay in the Chu family, she wouldn't be allowed to take even a single step inside!
"Zheng Ronglan, what's so good about Chu Xi? My mother almost dotes on her. The day after tomorrow, she's going to hold a press conference to announce Chu Xi's identity. Well, since she doesn't want me as her daughter anymore, then I don't need to care about the Chu family's reputation..."
Chu Siran finished her words to Zheng Ronglan, burped, and put her arms around Zheng Ronglan's neck. "Come on, brother, I'll take you out to have fun. We'll try to make the headlines tomorrow and give my mom a big gift. Let's see if she's still in the mood to accept someone else as her daughter."
Zheng Ronglan was completely frightened by Chu Siran's action and looked helplessly at Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng.
Chu Siran was originally in a bad mood, so Lin Yilan came to accompany Chu Siran, which was her duty as a friend. Zheng Ronglan had agreed to be Chu Siran's little follower because of the agreement they had made a few days ago. When Chu Siran asked him to come here for a drink, he should also be available at any time.
But Huo Juncheng had no reason to come here and play with them, and he didn't need to worry about Lin Yilan's safety. He had no reason to come here at all, but Zheng Ronglan insisted that he come too, even threatening him with Huo Juncheng's childhood embarrassment.
He was already in a bad mood when he came here, and when he saw Zheng Ronglan asking him for help, he was too lazy to care about him and let him fend for himself.
