Chapter 247: Chapter 116 Li Huiyuan_2

There is a saying that when the apocalypse comes, the first to die would be the self-righteous virtuous women; he, Lin Yi, was not the type to be stirred by the sight of a woman and then foolishly act kind-hearted, it was simply impossible for him to rashly take on someone whose background he didn’t know in a moment of hot-headedness.

...

In the year X023 on May 8th, at 10:26, in front of the Cafeteria’s notice board.

Lin Yi had just finished picking up the Cafeteria Rules when he looked up and noticed that the girl had already followed him over.

Apparently, the girl also felt that Lin Yi, who didn’t want to deal with anything, was the real person in charge, so after quickly picking up the Cafeteria Rules herself, she stood in front of him, teeth clenched, her delicate face with its meticulously applied makeup showing a stubborn look.

Wei Liang covered his mouth, laughing away at the side, as if it was none of his business and he was just there to watch the spectacle.

Lin Yi glanced at his watch.

10:27.

He looked at the girl once more, and finally let out a long sigh, "Alright..."

"If you really insist... I can let you follow me, but I have to make it clear in advance that if you encounter any crisis beyond my capabilities, I won’t risk my life for you," he said.

Upon hearing this, the girl pursed her lips quietly, "Then... what if the crisis is within your capabilities?"

"I might give you a hand, but you best not pin your hopes on me," Lin Yi said frankly. He felt it was quite necessary to bring out his self-interest at this time.

The girl, upon hearing this, was inwardly annoyed, but it was still better to have any help than none at all, so she clenched her teeth tightly and nodded heavily, "Okay, let’s do that!"

The girl’s response surprised Lin Yi a bit, but since she didn’t mind such terms, he naturally didn’t care either, especially since he had already spoken plainly.

In times of great peril, not helping you is the norm, helping you is a favor, and it’s good to have that clarified beforehand.

Having said this, Lin Yi and Wei Liang sat down in front of the notice board outside the Cafeteria, looking around aimlessly, glancing here and there from time to time.

When within the range of the Cafeteria area, due to the influence of his intuition, Lin Yi couldn’t see other buildings from that area.

However, interestingly, the scenery he could capture within his vision was not affected at all, aside from the buildings. For example, he could see the Green Forest Belt concealing a Phalanx of Sculptures beside Teaching Building B, as well as the Cobblestone paths that branched like a split stream leading towards Teaching Buildings A, B, and C, and the streetlights that were set up on both sides of the Cobblestone paths.

But the Teaching Buildings themselves seemed to have been erased from his vision.

[Every building is like an island floating adrift on the sea, unreachable from one another, yet connected by the Cobblestone paths lit with streetlights stretching throughout the campus.]

This sentence resurfaced in his mind.

And on the Cobblestone path, there were figures one after another; they were students heading from the Teaching Buildings to the Cafeteria for lunch.

"Um... fellow student, aren’t you going in?" hesitated the girl, then gingerly voiced her puzzlement.

Lin Yi checked his watch, "The Cafeteria’s lunch opening hours are from 10:40 to 13:20, it’s now 10:30, there are still ten minutes before we can enter."

Lin Yi himself wasn’t sure whether the 10:40 opening time referred to access through the Student Passage or the entry into the Student Cafeteria, but to be cautious, it’s naturally better to wait until 10:40 before entering the Student Passage.

Furthermore, he had arranged to meet Tian Bufan between 11:30 in the passageway between the entrance and exit of the Student Cafeteria and the Student Passage, so with plenty of time to spare, he was in no hurry.

The girl glanced at Lin Yi’s wrist with a hint of perplexity in her eyes...

It was at this moment that Lin Yi suddenly became aware of a sudden chilling Breath surrounding them. He looked at the girl with astonishment and found that, for some unknown reason, she suddenly froze on the spot, and the breath she exhaled seemed to have been chilled as if she had just come out of a refrigerator...

"What the hell?" Lin Yi’s eyebrow twitched, and he quickly reached out and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hey, are you okay?"

With that tap, the girl’s body trembled violently, looking just like those brainless characters in novels who tremble under the imposing aura of a character like Long Aotian.

She came to her senses all of a sudden, and the cold Breath around her also dissipated without a trace.

After the girl came back to her senses, her face first turned deathly pale, and it was only after a bout of heavy breathing that she gradually recovered.

"No... I’m fine."

"Are you sure?" Lin Yi’s brow furrowed slightly, "You’d better not be lying to me, because if you really run into any problems, I’m not going to just stand by and watch."

The girl pursed her lips and then tentatively asked, "Your watch... what brand is it?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself how strange it was, and then shook his head, "I don’t know... It was a gift from a long time ago."

"I heard that electronic devices aren’t very useful around here, so I dug out this watch, a quartz watch, you know. These old things keep time pretty accurately, and the margin of error isn’t too big."

"Quartz watch, huh? Ah, yeah, okay, okay." The girl wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and timidly shrank her neck.

"Hmm."

So they waited for a few minutes, the atmosphere so quiet it seemed like they could hear the wind in the mountains and each person’s breathing.

The girl was clearly uncomfortable, and then cautiously said, "Um, classmate... what’s your name?"

"I’m Li Huiyuan... We met yesterday when I was trying to ask you guys to help me move some luggage."

At the mention of luggage, Wei Liang immediately reacted, "Oh! I remember now, you’re that pink-haired, ying ying weirdo from yesterday!"

Lin Yi, who was looking around, was reminded by Wei Liang and suddenly recalled who Li Huiyuan was.

Yesterday in the classroom, there was a coser dressed in pink, speaking in a chipmunk voice while asking them to help move luggage... That was Li Huiyuan.

But today, Li Huiyuan had changed into a school uniform set that was completely different from the pink Lolita style of the day before, and her makeup had been altered as well, which is why Lin Yi didn’t recognize her immediately.

Having realized this, he couldn’t help but glance at Wei Liang, thinking to himself, "Liangzi, you damn well said you weren’t interested, but now it turns out you’re the one with the deepest impression."

As if Wei Liang could hear Lin Yi’s thoughts, he stared back at Lin Yi with a bizarre expression, as if to say, "What are you looking at? Just because I’m not interested in pink-haired fans doesn’t mean I can’t remember them, hey!"

"I..." Li Huiyuan awkwardly scratched her hair, "I saw everyone online seemed to really like that kind of persona, so I thought I’d try yinging up a bit yesterday, but I didn’t expect..."

She didn’t dare to finish her sentence: she didn’t expect to miss the mark with you guys.’

"Heh heh heh." Wei Liang let out a derisive laugh, thinking to himself that such petty tricks dared to show off, "My name is Wei Liang, he is Lin Yi, one of us likes black silk mature beauties and the other likes white silk Lolitas. A girl like you, stuck between mature beauty and Lolita, perfectly avoids both of our tastes. It’s really bad luck, sorry about that~"

Lin Yi gave Wei Liang a glare.

’Liangzi, for the love of god, why do you blab everything out?’

"Speaking of which, Liangzi."

"Ah huh?"

"Did you notice Li Huiyuan’s condition just now?"

"What? What condition?" Wei Liang showed a puzzled face, "You mean that frustrated look she got when she realized she had completely missed our XP?"

"..."

"Buzz off, I was talking about her getting colder, did you see that?"

"What? Ah huh? I didn’t see it."

"Please, that’s too fake, I saw you were even ready to pat her on the shoulder."

"Ah? What if I said, that was lust taking over, and I wanted to sneak a feel? Would you believe that?"
