Chapter 44: Chapter 43 Possessed by Evil

(Monday, asking for votes and favorites!)

"Son of a bitch, dare to hit me, go to hell!"

The instant his foot lashed out, a cruel excitement flitted across the man’s face as he imagined Xiao Yi receiving the kick—spitting teeth and blood in all directions while tumbling to the ground in a messy heap.

The man’s sudden, difficult maneuver also elicited looks of admiration from the onlookers, who simultaneously let out lively cheers.

All their attention was on the kicker; no one noticed the complete absence of panic on Xiao Yi’s face, which was anything but normal, nor did they catch the subtle sneer curling his lips.

However, before their cheers had fully faded, the expressions of excitement on their faces froze!

The cruel smile on the kicker’s face also solidified, instantly transforming into excruciating pain. Just as his foot was about to strike Xiao Yi’s jaw, a heart-wrenching stab of pain shot from his leg to his brain, contorting his handsome face with agony in an instant.

"Ahhh!!!"

A heart-rending scream escaped his mouth as the man clutched his leg tightly, losing his balance and falling to the ground, then started to roll about without any grace.

What?

Everyone was stunned into silence.

No one knew what had happened.

None of them had seen clearly what had occurred; they only saw the man scream as if being possessed just as his leg was about to hit Xiao Yi, and then he collapsed to the ground.

"Young Master Li!"

"Young Master Li, are you okay?"

"President!"

"..."

It took a while before the crowd finally snapped out of it. One after another, they stopped bothering about settling the score with Xiao Yi and, casting confused and suspicious glances at him, they hurried toward the fallen man, shouting anxiously.

"Brother Xiao, what’s wrong with him?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao was also puzzled, not understanding why the man had suddenly acted that way.

"I don’t know either, maybe he’s possessed."

Having witnessed Zeng Xiaoxiao’s penchant for chaos and her violent streak, Xiao Yi naturally wouldn’t tell her what had happened. He just shook his head, thinking that if he told her, she might say, "That’s so fun, Brother Xiao, go and give them a sting."

"No way?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao, somewhat incredulous, grabbed his hand and shook his arm, saying, "Brother Xiao, tell me how you knocked him down?"

"Really, didn’t you see? I truly didn’t hit him."

This time, Xiao Yi remained unswayed and shook his head firmly.

"Really?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao, observing Xiao Yi’s expression, began to feel doubtful again.

"Of course it’s true. Xiaoxiao, even if you don’t believe me, don’t you believe your own eyes?"

Xiao Yi nodded earnestly.

"This... well, that’s true. Hey, Brother Xiao, why didn’t you kick him just now, to let him have a turn at being the Flying Man?"

After thoroughly thinking it over, Zeng Xiaoxiao felt it made sense; she had been watching intently and truly hadn’t seen Xiao Yi make a move. Once she was sure Xiao Yi hadn’t acted, her attention swiftly shifted back to the male student, and she complained to Xiao Yi somewhat dissatisfied.

"I was going to kick him, but then I saw him suddenly fall down, so I didn’t kick him."

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected that Zeng Xiaoxiao still remembered wanting to kick someone, and he broke into a sweat before quickly explaining.

"Oh, actually, you could have kicked him even after he fell, who knows, maybe your kick could have cured his stroke."

Zeng Xiaoxiao nodded in sudden realization, but then she still seemed a bit unwilling to let it go.

"Let’s forget it, after all, he’s already in such a sorry state."

Xiao Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said, "Xiaoxiao, look, this place is a mess, there’s nothing interesting to see here anymore, let’s go outside."

"Okay, sigh, it’s a pity not to have seen that guy get kicked and fly, but never mind, we can come back another day to kick him."

Clang!

Xiao Yi, just as he turned around, hit his forehead against the door frame.

"Ouch, Brother Xiao, how can you be so careless, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, that, Xiaoxiao, isn’t it about time you went back to your dorm?"

Xiao Yi rubbed his forehead, having already decided to leave this girl as soon as possible and to remember Fatty Tang and the others’ advice to keep a certain distance from Zeng Xiaoxiao from now on.

"Brother Xiao, I don’t stay in the dorms; I go home every day."

"Uh, then you should be going home, right?"

"Oh, yes! Brother Xiao, this place isn’t fun anymore, let’s leave."

Zeng Xiaoxiao checked the time seriously, nodded obediently, and started walking out while holding Xiao Yi’s hand.

The Taekwondo Hall crowd was so busy tending to that handsome man, no one thought to stop them, and the few who saw them leaving didn’t dare to intercept; none of them knew why their club leader had suddenly fallen down. If their leader had fallen, wouldn’t they just be fodder if they tried to step in?

"Brother Xiao, see you this afternoon."

After leaving the building housing the Taekwondo Hall, Zeng Xiaoxiao reluctantly let go of Xiao Yi’s hand.

"See you this afternoon!"

Xiao Yi, seeing that this headache of a girl was finally leaving, heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Xiao, this afternoon I’ll take you somewhere even more fun, heehee!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao took a few steps, then turned her head, winked at him, and revealed a naive and charming smile.

"Gah!"

Xiao Yi, just lifting his foot, nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Watching the little girl bouncing away with joy, Xiao Yi began to ponder with a bit of a headache whether he should just skip his calculus class that afternoon. He now had a very definite understanding of what Xiaoxiao considered ’fun.’

What she called taking him to have fun meant doing things she found enjoyable, not what traditionally meant taking him along to play. And worse, the girl’s hobbies were somewhat special, actually kicking people for fun!

Just one outing with her had already resulted in an inexplicable new enemy, of whom he knew only the surname Li and not even the first name. If he kept joining her for these kinds of ’fun’ activities, he feared it wouldn’t take many days before he became the common enemy of the entire Z University. Although, he wasn’t too concerned about that, such enemies who spoke foul language like that guy today did not bother him in the least.

But he didn’t want to follow her around looking for trouble, becoming a campus thug. Except for the occasional extreme necessity when he had to resort to a bit of violence, he was at heart a peace-loving harmonious person.

Are geniuses always so peculiar in their hobbies?

Feeling a bit baffled, he touched his nose, looked at the direction Zeng Xiaoxiao had gone ensuring she was far enough ahead, then started to lazily follow in her direction, heading towards the school’s gate.
