Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 331 - 331 328 Always Explaining

Chapter 331: Chapter 328 Always Explaining Chapter 331: Chapter 328 Always Explaining Because Zhu Zhen stood in front, and Yu Hang behind, Zhu Jin felt very safe sandwiched between the two, so after entering the train station, she had been looking down at her phone and not paying attention to her surroundings until Yu Hang leaned in close to her back, making her feel a bit hot, which prompted her to turn her head and glance at him, softly reminding him.

But after she spoke, she sensed something was amiss.

Zhu Jin put away her phone and stood properly. Slung over her shoulder was a small bag, her suitcase was in Zhu Zhen’s hands, and a small travel bag was in Yu Hang’s hands.

Her reminder, of course, went unheard by Yu Hang, who continued to stay close behind her, and he even placed his free hand on her shoulder.

Zhu Jin’s entire body nearly froze, the skin beneath that palm burning hot.

As they followed the crowd forward, she was almost enveloped in Yu Hang’s arms, until they passed the ticket checkpoint, when Yu Hang finally released Zhu Jin, and the three of them headed to the platform.

“What was that just now?”

Compared to the ticket line, the platform was relatively more spacious. As the three found their corresponding carriage and stood waiting, Zhu Zhen turned his head and asked Yu Hang.

The two boys who had been squeezing in front of Yu Hang earlier were standing right next to the adjacent carriage, and they were part of a group of four.

Yu Hang glanced indifferently at the few of them. There was initially nothing amiss, but when he was about to look away, one of the boys actually spat in his direction.

Zhu Zhen probably knew what the issue was.

He handed the suitcase he was carrying to Yu Hang and walked straight up to the four boys, staring down the one who had spat and asked, “Did you just spit at us?”

Zhu Zhen was only a little shorter than Jiang Yan, around 1.82 meters tall. His dad and uncle were police officers, and so was his cousin. He was the only academic in the family, and the only one who had been accepted into Beijing University. But this didn’t mean his family went easy on him; they always took him to train during winter and summer vacations.

So not only was he tall, but he was also dark and strong. Standing in front of those four boys who were around 1.70 meters, he was like a tower of iron!

But the spitting boy, taking courage from their numbers, puffed out his chest and bluffed, “It was him who glared at us first. What about it? Showing off his big eyes?”

Zhu Zhen looked down at the boy, his face stern and appearing extremely fierce.

The boy swallowed hard, and at that moment, he noticed his companions all simultaneously took a step back, leaving him alone to confront the formidable man!

Zhu Zhen suddenly reached out, grabbed the boy by the nape of his neck, lifted and spun him around, then threw him next to the spit he had left.

Caught off guard, the boy couldn’t keep his balance and knelt, knees buckling next to the spit. Then he heard two words by his ear, “Clean it!”

The bustling, noisy platform went silent in an instant because of Zhu Zhen’s action. The crowd glanced at Zhu Zhen and then at the kneeling boy. Not a soul spoke up, including the boy’s three companions, who all turned away, pretending not to know him.

With the “woo-woo…” sound of the train whistle starting, under the glare of Zhu Zhen’s eyes, the boy fished out a tissue from his pocket and carefully wrapped up the spit he had spat.

When Zhu Zhen returned, Yu Hang asked, “What level have you reached with your training now?”

“Why, jealous? I asked you to come before, but you wouldn’t go.”

It wasn’t about not going, it was about not being able to get up.

Zhu Jin asked, “Can I come with you? I think I need to learn from you. It’s too dangerous to go out alone.”

Like when traveling by train, Zhu Zhen and Yu Hang couldn’t always be by her side. What if she was alone and encountered a situation like today? Wouldn’t she be at a disadvantage?

Although she could call the police or for help, that often meant something bad had already happened, meaning she had already been taken advantage of.

So if possible, she really wanted to learn martial arts.

Zhu Zhen was able to intimidate those people today not only because he was strong, but mainly because he really knew kung fu. Just standing there, one could tell from his aura.

Hearing Zhu Jin’s words, Yu Hang couldn’t help but glance at her, feeling somewhat as if he had been slighted.

“How about this, call both of us during the winter break. This time I promise I’ll get up, no more slacking off.”

Zhu Zhen didn’t rush to agree with the two, after all, there was still half a year until winter vacation. They would see when the time came.

After the three of them got on the train and found their seats, thanks to Zhu Zhen acting like an “iron tower,” they arrived in Beijing smoothly despite the crowded carriage.

After arriving at the station, just as Zhu Zhen and Zhu Jin were about to split up with Yu Hang to take taxis back to their schools, a delicate and coquettish voice arose—

“Yu Hang…”

The drawn-out tone gave Zhu Jin goosebumps on her arm.

The three turned their heads toward the source of the voice, a girl on the shorter side, but who appeared petite and cute, pulling a pink suitcase towards them.

When she was about three meters away, the delicate, coquettish voice rang out again, “I thought it was you at the exit gate just now, and it really is you. What a coincidence.”

Her tone was so tender it could drip water, and when she hit the exclamatory words, there was a bit of a whiny undertone. It wasn’t annoying to hear, but it made Zhu Jin uncomfortable.

She rubbed the goosebumps on her arm and reached out to take her suitcase from Yu Hang’s hand, turning to Zhu Zhen to say, “Let’s go find a taxi.”

Zhu Zhen gave her an amused look, waved to Yu Hang, took the suitcase, and walked ahead with Zhu Jin.

What’s wrong this time?

Yu Hang watched as Zhu Jin left without looking back, feeling a bit helpless.

The girl was a classmate from his class; greeting her when they met was no problem, right?

While dealing with the girl, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Zhu Jin: [She’s just an ordinary classmate, nothing more.]

But as soon as he sent the message, he paused: Why had he been explaining himself to Zhu Jin all summer?

It was the same with Deng Tao before, and now with Wu Minmin, even though it was just a normal greeting. He hadn’t done anything wrong… Wait, so what if he had done something? Why did he feel the need to explain himself?

Although he thought this, he couldn’t help but keep checking his phone as he shared a taxi with Wu Minmin, wondering if Zhu Jin had gotten into her taxi and seen his message, right?

But if she had seen it, why hadn’t she replied?

Five minutes later, his phone buzzed, and Yu Hang immediately pulled it out—

Zhu Jin: [An ordinary classmate? One that acts coquettishly with you?]

Yu Hang: ???

Wu Minmin was acting coquettishly just now?

It didn’t seem any different from how she spoke in class, did it?

He genuinely hadn’t noticed anything special, so he replied: [She’s from the south, she always talks like this. Besides, there’s nothing between us, why would she act coquettishly?]

Zhu Jin: [So it’s impossible that she has a crush on you?]

[Do you really think I’m such a catch that every girl likes me?]

This time Zhu Jin didn’t reply, and Yu Hang kept waiting until the taxi arrived at the School of Communication. His phone remained silent, not a single message more.

Is she mad again?

He looked back at the messages he had sent, unable to spot a problem, so why was she ignoring him again?

Sigh, girls are so troublesome!
