145: Chapter 145 Sharing happiness and hardship

Regardless of what the future holds for the Lin family, Lin Xiao still had to continue his studies.

What he didn't expect was that after his reputation as a "Male Bodhisattva" spread, the public opinion on the forum started to drift in a strange direction.

Nobody knew who started it, but they claimed that if one encountered such an outstanding The Boy, they should pursue him boldly!

After all, if you succeed, you win big; if you don't, you lose nothing.

Just like that, many young girls found out about Lin Xiao's whereabouts and waited at the classroom door to confess to him.

They even shared the information they gathered about his whereabouts, encouraging their sisters to go for it without hesitation!

This resulted in Lin Xiao being approached by people asking for his contact information, even while he was eating lunch at the school cafeteria, all while acting shy.

While passing by the school store, Lin Xiao had a sudden flash of inspiration.

He went inside, bought a salted fish mask, and put it on his head.

Just as he was about to congratulate himself on his cleverness, he was handed another love letter by a girl as he left the store.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then looked up at Zhang Xiaofu.

"You're too conspicuous. Go buy one and put it on too!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiaofu looked at the comical, bright green salted fish head, feeling quite reluctant.

Although his aesthetic sense wasn't great, he still cared about his image.

If he ran around wearing a mask like this and got discovered, how embarrassing would that be? How could he ever find a girlfriend after that?

But Lin Xiao patted Zhang Xiaofu's shoulder earnestly, "Brother, we share blessings and woes together!"

"Alright then."

Zhang Xiaofu nodded reluctantly, turned back to the store, and bought a red version of the same salted fish mask.

Soon, two salted fish heads—one red and one green—were walking through the campus.

Even though they were even more conspicuous than before, no one recognized them anymore.

But perhaps because their appearance looked too abstract, they actually alerted the security guards.

"Hey! Who are you two? What are you doing here?"

"Run!"

Just as Lin Xiao was about to explain, Zhang Xiaofu grabbed his arm and ran.

This flight made the security guards even more panicked.

They immediately used their walkie-talkies to call for their colleagues.

Suspicious individuals appearing inside the school was no small matter; they absolutely could not let their guard down!

"Wait, wait a second!"

Lin Xiao was already feeling a bit stifled wearing the mask, and after this run, his heart was pounding.

He quickly pulled Zhang Xiaofu to a stop and asked in confusion, "No, why are you running? We aren't thieves!"

Zhang Xiaofu was panting even harder. It took him a while to catch his breath, "Oh, is that so? It's just that when I was a kid, I used to dodge the city inspectors while helping my dad set up his stall, so it became a conditioned reflex."

"..."

Lin Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just at that moment, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

He saw seven or eight security guards rushing toward them!

"Run!"

This time, it was Lin Xiao who grabbed Zhang Xiaofu and ran.

Zhang Xiaofu was puzzled, "Brother Lin, didn't you say we didn't need to run?"

Lin Xiao said impatiently, "That was then! Now that so many people are chasing us, how embarrassing would it be if we got caught?"

According to Lin Xiao's plan, as long as they ran to a deserted place and discarded the masks in time, they should be able to evade the security guards' siege.

But plans often couldn't keep up with changes.

He suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in front of them.

It was actually the eldest sister's assistant, Assistant An.

That was the beautiful woman who was super capable at work and could also really fight!

Previously, when he went to deliver food to his eldest sister and was stopped at the door by security, it was this Assistant An who, along with his eldest sister, took down the security guard who had stolen company secrets.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to raise his hand to say hello, he heard the security guards behind him shout, "Miss, watch out! Don't let these two perverts hurt you!"

When Lin Xiao heard that, he thought, 'Oh no.'

Sure enough, after learning that they were perverts, Assistant An not only didn't leave, but instead set her briefcase aside and put on a serious expression.

"Hey? No..."

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Assistant An rushed straight at them.

Zhang Xiaofu, who was in the lead, was grabbed by Assistant An, twisted around, and pinned directly to the ground.

That wasn't all; seeing Zhang Xiaofu in too much pain to move, Assistant An immediately came for Lin Xiao.

"Wait a second, Assistant An, wait a second!"

Lin Xiao shouted while defending himself.

Unfortunately, the soundproofing of this salted fish mask was too good; his voice became very muffled after coming out and was completely unrecognizable.

And under his defensive maneuvers, Assistant An's expression became even more serious.

"To have such skills and come here to bully students, you are truly shameless!"

Assistant An's attacks became increasingly fierce.

Lin Xiao saw that just dodging wasn't going to work, so he had to start fighting back.

With the advantage of his build and strength, he finally managed to restrain Assistant An.

Just as he was about to call Zhang Xiaofu over to help him take off the mask, he suddenly felt a chill in his crotch!

It turned out that Assistant An hadn't given up even while restrained; she lifted her leg backward, aiming straight for his lower regions!

Lin Xiao had reacted very quickly, but still didn't completely dodge it.

"Aww—"

With a shrill scream, Lin Xiao stiffened and slowly collapsed.

Assistant An seized the opportunity to rush over and restrain Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao immediately raised his hand.

"Stop!"

At the same time, he ripped off the mask.

"Lin Xiao?"

Seeing that disheveled but familiar face, Assistant An was stunned too.

"Aren't you going to pull me up?!"

Lin Xiao saw that the security guards were about to catch up and was extremely anxious.

Although Assistant An didn't understand what was going on, she immediately helped Lin Xiao up and into a nearby car.

By the time the security guards and other students arrived, the car had already left.

"There's one left, hurry and catch him!"

The crowd rushed up and grabbed Zhang Xiaofu, who had just started to recover.

Zhang Xiaofu looked at the departing car and was on the verge of a breakdown!

What happened to sharing blessings and woes together?

Liars, they're all liars!
