Chapter 108: Chapter 50 New Shoes_2

His gaze unconsciously followed the boss’s movements, only to see her slender and fair fingers slide over her smooth ankle, then unhook the edge of the white sports shoes and slip them off.

After the right foot, the left foot followed.

Then she picked up the sports shoes and handed them to Lin Yi.

"Take them." she said indifferently.

"Ah?" Lin Yi was taken aback.

"What’s with the ’ah’?" she glared at Lin Yi, "They might be a bit tight, but it’s better than nothing."

Lin Yi instantly got the message—he was still barefoot.

He wanted to refuse, but seeing the hint of a threat rising in the boss’s eyes, he hurriedly ran over, tiptoeing like Wei X-bao supporting Long’er, and stopped in front of the boss.

Then he carefully accepted the brand-new pair of sports shoes.

Throughout the process, he felt as if he could sense a sharp pain, sharper than a needle tip, coming from behind... a rising murderous intent from Wei Liang that was like a rocket launch.

"Aren’t you going to put them on? Or do you need me to put them on for you?" The boss’s cool and firm voice carried a faint trace of pressure, pressing Lin Yi from another angle.

"Uh..." Lin Yi, feeling the pressure from both sides, took a deep breath and squatted down.

Before these two threats, he had to accept one, didn’t he?

So, he carefully loosened the laces a bit, then... hesitated for a moment, took out a bundle of socks from his pocket, picked the cleanest pair, put them on, and then put on the shoes...

"I want them too! I want them too!" Wei Liang had already scrambled over, like a happy little Shiba Inu sticking out its tongue and charging forward for love in the evening breeze.

The boss glanced at him indifferently, and rejected him mercilessly, "No."

"Uh—" Wei Liang braked suddenly, his expression drooping like a candle melting in high heat.

Lin Yi silently put on the sports shoes...

Although the boss’s shoes were a bit tight, they weren’t much so.

But at this moment, whether they were comfortable or not was actually not important; what mattered was wearing the boss’s shoes, which gave him a kind of feeling... hard to describe.

But then he thought about his good brother who was still barefoot, and indeed, the boss only had two feet and two shoes—it was unlikely she would take out another pair, right?

So, after hesitating for a while, he silently handed over the war boots he had left after the "battle" in the Cafeteria to Wei Liang...

Wei Liang was stunned.

He looked at Lin Yi, then at the... this shoe, and was stunned again.

His conflicted expression turned back to Lin Yi...

His gaze moved back and forth between Lin Yi and the shoe.

The scene became increasingly awkward...

Lin Yi cleared his throat and said, "Liangzi, why don’t you... just cope with this one shoe of mine for now?"

He sneakily glanced at the boss’s bare feet on the floor and whispered, "The boss doesn’t have an extra pair right now either..."

Wei Liang looked at the old tank in Lin Yi’s hand, clutched his chest, pretending to be deeply pained, and with trembling fingers pointed at Lin Yi, he struggled to squeeze out, "Old Lin... to have a brother like you, I’m just really blessed..."

But still, he tentatively reached out for the shoe.

After all, having one shoe was better than being barefoot...

"Shhh."

A fair hand snatched Lin Yi’s shoe just in front of him.

"Uh..." Wei Liang froze, then gave a look full of grievances to the person who had preemptively taken the shoe—the boss.

Didn’t I... I didn’t say I didn’t want it?

But the boss didn’t look at him any further and calmly said to the entrance of the Gymnasium, "Little Zhouzi, come here."

"Eh~ Boss! Little Zhouzi is coming~" A muscle-bound man carrying a baseball bat, with a voice completely mismatching his build, simpered like an inn’s busboy as he jogged over to the group.

"Give him your shoes."

"Alright~" Without a second thought, Little Zhouzi took his shoes off and handed them to Wei Liang.

Wei Liang, watching this scene, was completely stunned.

Seeing his reaction, Little Zhouzi frowned, grinned showing his teeth, and towered over Wei Liang.

"What’s the deal, bro? The boss has spoken, and you still won’t wear it? Do you want your big bro to dress you personally?"

He pressed his palm against his knuckles, emitting crackling sounds of "crack and pop".

...

May 7, 2023, 16:35, right at the entrance of the Gymnasium.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang had just scraped through the Gymnasium rules and then, under the oppressive gaze of numerous Sports Students guarding the entrance, stiffly made their way out of the Gymnasium.

It was only after they had walked some distance that Lin Yi finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Damn! I felt like those Sports Students were about to devour us alive with their stares just now!" Wei Liang stuck out his tongue, patting his chest as if he had just survived a catastrophe.

"Indeed, the pressure was huge..." Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

"Huge my ass! It’s all because you wore the boss’s shoes!" Wei Liang stood up straight and called out helplessly.

"Please... I couldn’t refuse..."

"Fuck, what do you mean you couldn’t refuse? You were clearly thrilled, hitting the jackpot! You can’t even refuse my manly feet, let alone their legit ’jade feet’!"

Wei Liang curled his lips, the scent of jealousy seeping from his mouth and nostrils: "From my experience, that ’boss’s’ feet are at least size thirteen!"

"Only thirteen?"

"Out of ten."

"Oh, that’s not too bad." Lin Yi pictured the boss in his mind, thinking that just for that deadly Leo Flying Kick that obliterated the Green Forest Belt’s Pocket Chef, perhaps thirteen wasn’t enough.

"Hold on, Liangzi, don’t just rag on me. Can’t you refuse either?" He glanced at Wei Liang’s shoes.

Wei Liang was a legitimate six-foot-tall man, slightly taller than him, but wearing those muscleman’s sneakers, he looked like Charlie Chaplin in his entire demeanor.

"Can we not talk about this?" The second Wei Liang brought up memories of being dominated by the muscleman, he shook his foot, and the oversized shoe clattered to the ground, "Comparing people will kill you! It was a waste waiting half an hour for you!"

As the two bantered and chatted, they quickly moved from the Gymnasium to the notice board.

The moment they passed the notice board, both of their faces showed visible signs of relief.

Clearly...they had both tacitly focused their attention on each other and the path ahead through natural conversation, thus reducing the risk of any unforeseen dangers along the way.

And this strategy, once Lin Yi implemented it, he was surprised to find Wei Liang keeping in perfect sync with him.

"Oh, by the way, Old Lin, how on earth did you hook up with the boss?" Wei Liang was still going on about the boss’s virtues.

Lin Yi suddenly realized something—Wei Liang wasn’t just chatting with him to lower their risk of the unknown, but... This guy couldn’t stop talking about the boss’s legs and ’jade feet’; he was obviously salivating over their body!

Wei Liang wasn’t thinking that far ahead at all, his fiery LSP(Leo’s secret passion) was raging within his chest!

"Fuck..." Lin Yi muttered to himself, glancing down at his watch.

16:53.

"16:48, it’s taken thirteen minutes from leaving the Gymnasium till now... aligns with the normal travel time."

Lin Yi quietly noted the time in his head, looked back, then refocused his gaze ahead.

"Sure enough, the Gymnasium’s out of sight again... This notice board is like a boundary to me, with the Teaching Building on this side and the Gymnasium on the other."

"But it seems to be different for Liangzi..." he mused.

He glanced at the sky again.

S City, being in the south, belongs to the late spring and early summer period in May, and it usually doesn’t get dark until around 7 PM, if there’s no abnormal weather.

Like yesterday, when the weather was bad, with clouds pressing down around fifthirty in the evening, and everything was a hazy grey, with the sunset nowhere to be found and mist enveloping the world.

"Looking at today, perhaps it’ll still be light out after dinner at the Cafeteria," Lin Yi said with relief.

Wei Liang glanced at the sky and nodded, "Truly a rare fine weather."

Lin Yi shifted his gaze back to the Teaching Building not far ahead.

The three four-story Teaching Buildings were connected on every level by Corridor Bridges, which in the setting sun seemed to cloak them with a layer of amber glow.

The Green Forest Belt around the Teaching Buildings, bathed in the sunset, also had a hazy beauty, with layers of colorful foliage and mist like clouds weaving between the leaves, presenting a dreamy allure.

"Wait a second...!!"

"Is that... mist?!"
