Chapter 23
Getting My Anger Out
Just as Hu Xiaowen was at a disadvantage, Jin Bao'er pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing his best friend being choked, he clenched his fist and punched Wang Meng.
Wang Meng released his grip in pain.
Jin Bao'er quickly pulled Hu Xiaowen to her side to check on the situation.
Just then, Wang Meng reacted and punched Jin Bao'er in the face again.
"ah!!"
Jin Bao'er's entire body tilted to the side, and her head slammed hard against the iron support of the bed frame next to her!
Then he was in so much pain that he sat down on the ground!
Hu Xiaowen quickly ran over to check on Jin Bao'er's injuries.
Wang Meng then realized that he had actually stunned the person!
"Get the hell out of here! If you dare provoke me again, I'll beat you to death!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he spat on the ground before striding away.
Hu Xiaowen ignored him and quickly helped Jin Bao'er up, intending to take him to the hospital.
……
By the time we got back to school, it was almost 10 p.m., and we couldn't go to the library anymore.
"Jin Bao'er, I'm sorry."
Hu Xiaowen felt a pang of sadness looking at the bandage on Jin Bao'er's forehead.
That damn Wang Meng!
Damn it, he peeked at other people's things and then hit them!
No, this dorm room has to be changed, it absolutely has to be changed!
After sending Jin Bao'er back to her dormitory, he quickly called the teacher and said that he had to change dorm rooms that night, otherwise he would be beaten to death there.
The counselor initially thought it was too much trouble and didn't process his application, but kept persuading him until Hu Xiaowen said he was about to be beaten to death, needed to go to the hospital, and was going to call the police.
The counselor quickly arranged a new dormitory room for him, which was on the first floor.
Hu Xiaowen moved out of the dormitory in an hour without stopping, and did not see Wang Meng before she finished.
I breathed a sigh of relief; at least I probably won't run into them again.
As for making Wang Meng pay the price, he couldn't think of a way for the time being.
Wang Meng was also punched a few times by the two of them, and at most, they criticized each other when they went to their teachers and counselors.
If the medical expenses were to be calculated, the costs would be roughly the same for both parties, which is why he felt guilty towards Jin Bao'er, blaming himself for being useless and never being able to protect his good friend.
……
Meanwhile, Jin Bao'er cautiously returned to her dormitory and found that Zhao Yuheng was not there, which made her feel inexplicably relieved.
He had a feeling that if Zhao Yuheng saw the wound on his head, he would keep asking about it.
No matter what happens then, it will be something he cannot accept.
The eldest and second eldest were engrossed in playing games and didn't notice Jinbao'er, who was looking down and holding her forehead.
Their silence made Jin Bao'er feel more at ease, so he quickly washed up and went to bed.
Around midnight, Jin Bao'er woke up needing to urinate. She went to the toilet in the dark and then hurriedly ran back to her dormitory.
But as soon as they reached the door, they bumped into a "wall of flesh".
"ah!!"
Jin Bao'er was in so much pain that she quickly took two steps back, pressing her hand tightly against the wound on her forehead, her gaze falling on the other person's lower abdomen.
Today, the other person was wearing a pair of gray shorts, and their thick leg hair was particularly noticeable. The rest of their body also looked strangely familiar!
"What's wrong with your head?"
A familiar, deep voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.
Jin Bao'er had a bad feeling and instinctively tried to shrink back to hide her wound.
"I'm asking you, what happened to your head?"
Zhao Yuheng's voice suddenly rose a notch, no longer the usual nonchalant tone.
Instead, it emanated a suppressed rage that made Jin Bao'er's eardrums ring and her scalp tingle.
"Speak up, who did this?!"
The corridor lights stay on day and night.
The red, swollen mark on Jin Bao'er's left cheek was clearly visible, as if it had been slapped across Zhao Yuheng's face.
Jin Bao'er could make an excuse that her forehead was accidentally bumped, but the redness and swelling on her cheeks were clearly artificial.
The sound was terrifyingly loud, as if it were desperately trying to restrain something.
Jin Bao'er was startled by his fierce appearance.
But more than anything, he felt panicked, and he blurted out, "Wang Meng."
Which dormitory?
Zhao Yuheng's gaze instantly darkened, like the calm before a storm.
"Heng-ge, no..."
Jin Bao'er panicked and tried to stop him.
"Which dormitory?" Zhao Yuheng didn't give him a chance at all, his eyes as cold as ice.
"2323".
Given Zhao Yuheng's personality, he wouldn't rush down and beat Wang Meng up again, would he?
College students who get into fights can be expelled if the fights are serious.
Given his current relationship with Heng Ge, he absolutely cannot allow Heng Ge to be fired again because of him; that would ruin Zhao Yuheng's career.
"Heng-ge, it's okay, really it's okay, it's just a minor scratch, you don't need to worry about it, go back to sleep."
Jin Bao'er stammered her refusal, reaching out to grab Zhao Yuheng's arm, but was abruptly pushed away.
"Shut up."
Zhao Yuheng glared at him fiercely, his eyes filled with anger, heartache, and a kind of frustrated exasperation.
"You're still okay after getting beaten up like this? Are you stupid or a coward?"
After he finished cursing, he stopped looking at Jin Bao'er, turned around and slammed his fist on the dormitory door, waking up the eldest and second eldest brothers.
"The fourth brother got beaten up, didn't you see?"
Zhao Yuheng's voice was loud and carried an undeniable ruthlessness, directly pulling the two of them out of their sleep.
"What??"
The eldest brother was the first to sit up, followed by the second brother who groggily opened his eyes and sat up upon hearing this.
"I said the fourth brother got beaten up, and his face is all swollen."
Only then did the two fully wake up and jump out of bed.
"Who did this?! How dare they bully our young master Tianluo!!"
As they talked, the two pulled on their shorts and walked out aggressively.
They were secretly alarmed when they saw the wound wrapped in medical cotton on Jin Bao'er's forehead and her flushed cheeks.
They knew Jinbao'er was back today, but they hadn't noticed for the past few hours!
They felt both ashamed and resentful.
"Wang Meng of 2323!!"
"That kid Wang Meng!!"
The eldest brother was even more excited than Zhao Yuheng. He grabbed a broom and ran downstairs, followed by Zhao Yuheng and the second brother.
This made Jin Bao'er, who was standing there stunned, very anxious.
Holy crap, how did this escalate into a brawl?!
He didn't have time to think and quickly followed.
"Slap slap slap!!"
There was a sudden knock on the door of 2323.
"Who is it?"
An impatient voice came from inside, and then the door was opened.
The eldest brother rushed in, but when he saw it wasn't Wang Meng, he shoved the other man aside.
"Wang Meng, you get the hell out here! How dare you hit my roommate! I'll beat you to death!!"
Wang Meng, who was still lying in bed, realized that someone had come to cause trouble. He wanted to yell at them, but when he saw three or four people standing at the door, he immediately fell silent.
His two roommates didn't get along with him, so they definitely wouldn't help him at this time.
When the eldest brother saw that Wang Meng was still lying on the bed, he suddenly went up and pulled him off the bed.
"Speak up, why did you hit my roommate?!"
Wang Meng, with his neck being choked by the boss, also began to struggle.
He didn't manage to push her away, and was about to clench his fists and start fighting with the boss.
Before he could even make a move, Zhao Yuheng, who had been standing by the door watching coldly, suddenly made his move.
He didn't waste any words, and his expression didn't even change; it was just his usual lazy, peach-blossom eyes.
At this moment, however, it was filled with a terrifying ferocity, like a knife chilled to the bone, staring intently at Wang Meng as if he were a dead man.
Zhao Yuheng flashed forward, as fast as the wind, and instantly closed in.
"ah!!"
Wang Meng felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could see what was happening, he suffered a severe blow to his abdomen.
The force was astonishing, as if a sheet of iron had slammed down on him, instantly draining all his strength.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuheng grabbed Wang Meng's wrist as he swung it, his fingers precisely wedged at his joint, and twisted it outwards sharply!
A crisp "crack" was heard, accompanied by Wang Meng's pig-like screams.
The force of the impact caused him to lose his balance and slam hard into the table next to him.
"Bang!!"
With a loud crash, the books, water glasses, and lamp on the table were all overturned and knocked to the ground.
The sound of shattering glass was particularly jarring in the quiet night.
