57: Chapter 57: Gaining an Innocent Girl 57: Chapter 57: Gaining an Innocent Girl Eight street ruffians with wild hairdos hurriedly helped the severely injured Brother Tiger up and scurried away in disgrace.

Having dealt with this harmful bunch, Lin Yifan came over to the pure-looking girl and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine!

Thank you!”

With her head bowed, the pure-looking girl seemed afraid, not daring to look up at Lin Yifan.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan chuckled and said, “Why so scared?

I’m not going to eat you.”

“Your methods were too cruel, I was very scared,” the pure-looking girl replied honestly.

“To deal with evildoers, one must use the methods of evildoers; too kind-hearted and soft, and you cannot win against evil people.”

Lin Yifan still felt that the pure-looking girl was too naive, not understanding the dangers of the world.

Hearing him say that, the pure-looking girl felt there might be some truth to it.

Someone polite and reasonable like her stood no chance against these hoodlums; thus, Lin Yifan’s approach seemed theoretically correct.

“I’m sorry!

I didn’t mean to blame you.”

“It’s alright!

As you grow up and slowly interact with all kinds of people in society, you will understand the actions I took today,” Lin Yifan replied.

As they spoke, the stir-fry stall owner came out with an urgent and worried look on his face, “Young man, quickly leave Guiyuan City!

The Knife Gang won’t let you off.”

Over the years, the locals in their street neighborhood knew too well the detestableness of the Knife Gang.

Anyone who offended or crossed paths with the Knife Gang never ended well; which is why he couldn’t bear to see the just and brave Lin Yifan suffer retaliation from the Knife Gang.

“Uncle!

Don’t worry!

I will definitely eliminate the Knife Gang, eradicate this evil, and return to you all peaceful days,” Lin Yifan not only didn’t feel afraid, but also optimistically replied.

The stir-fry stall owner was nearly driven to his wits’ end by Lin Yifan’s attitude, “Young man, why don’t you understand?

Ah!”

“Uncle!

I appreciate your kindness.

However, I have always believed that the world is full of light, and the forces of darkness will never overcome the forces of light,” Lin Yifan responded.

In fact, he understood the stall owner’s point of view, but as a soldier, he had always known nothing but death in battle, not retreat in the face of it; therefore, even if the Knife Gang hunted him down city-wide, he would not back down.

Knowing he couldn’t persuade Lin Yifan, the stall owner simply went off to clean up the chaotic scene.

Meanwhile, the pure-looking girl was grateful to Lin Yifan but didn’t know how to repay him, so she reluctantly offered money: “Here’s two hundred yuan, a small token of my sincerity.

I’m very thankful for your help today.”

“Girl!

You’re too polite!

Being brave for a just cause is a virtue, and if I accepted money for it, that would sully this virtue; so, keep the money for yourself,” Lin Yifan said as he pushed the money back.

“How can that be!

I caused you to offend the Knife Gang.

If anything were to happen to you, I wouldn’t know how to face my own conscience.

So please, accept this token of my sincerity,” the pure-looking girl pleaded.

“Let me clarify two things for you.

First, it wasn’t you who caused me to offend the Knife Gang; I did that of my own volition.

Second, my act of bravery isn’t meant to be rewarded.

You don’t need to blame yourself or give me any kind of gift,” Lin Yifan explained.

“But I would feel uneasy not doing anything for you.”

“Your well-being is the greatest reward for me,” Lin Yifan replied.

This statement threw Qingqing’s heart into disarray: “What does he mean?

Is he confessing his feelings for me?

Isn’t this too sudden?

I haven’t even had time to think it through…”

“Hey!

Girl, what’s wrong?

Why is your head hanging so low?

And why is your face so red?”

Lin Yifan was baffled; the conversation had been going smoothly when Qingqing suddenly lowered her head.

Did he say something wrong?

But he couldn’t recall saying anything incorrect.

“Your well-being…

um…

indeed has a bit of that implication.”

Lin Yifan broke into a sweat, feeling that what he had said was a bit ambiguous, and tried to clarify, “I didn’t mean it that way; what I was trying to say is, if you live peacefully, that would be the best way to repay me.

Not that, it’s about living well…

that’s the best reward for me.

Not that, not that, it’s just…

Ah!

Why can’t I explain this properly?”

Lin Yifan was at a loss for words, no matter how he explained, it always seemed to carry that implication.

“Sir!

There’s no need to explain further, I understand what you mean.

It’s just that I’m currently a university student and have yet to graduate.

I don’t want to date too early; I’m sorry.

However, if you come to confess to me a year from now, maybe I will accept,” Qingqing shyly replied.

“Ugh…

this works too?” Lin Yifan was speechless.

But upon further consideration, Qingqing really wasn’t a bad person.

Aside from being kind, simple, and hardworking, she was also cute, sweet, charming, and a good woman fit for a family life.

So he responded, “I will wait for you!”

Though it was only a simple five-word response, it conveyed an attitude—I like you, and no matter how long, I will wait.

At that moment, Qingqing’s heart raced in confusion, not sure what to make of it.

Seeing Qingqing lower her head shyly again, Lin Yifan decided to change the subject and asked, “Girl, what’s your full name?”

“I…

my name is Su Qingqing, with the ‘bamboo’ radical for ‘Qingqing,'” Su Qingqing replied bashfully.

“Nice to meet you!

My name is Lin Yifan, ‘Lin’ of the forest, ‘Yi’ of one day, and ‘Fan’ of ordinary.”

Lin Yifan extended his hand in introduction.
