96: Chapter 96 Injured Again

Lin Yi subconsciously touched the spot where Jiang Xiaowan had kissed him just now.

It felt like a faint, sweet fragrance still lingered there.

"I didn't expect this little girl to be so forward."

After a simple celebration, the group returned to school.

As soon as they reached the school gate, over thirty members of the E-sports Club surrounded them.

They crowded around Lin Yi as if welcoming a triumphant hero, walking him into the school.

These were the people who had classes that afternoon and hadn't been able to watch the match in person.

However, the students at the venue had provided real-time text updates of the match via group chat.

Therefore, everyone already knew the news that Lin Yi had led their Nanling University team to win the University City Internet Cafe Tournament championship today.

In the previous two years, they hadn't even made it into the top four.

They were eliminated early in the first round.

They didn't expect to be so fierce this year, directly bringing back a championship.

At this moment, in their hearts, Lin Yi was like a star.

Several girls from the E-sports Club even specially pulled up a banner that read, "Lin Yi, I want to have your babies!"

So much so that even some passersby who were not interested in e-sports heard Lin Yi's name today.

This made Lin Yi feel a bit embarrassed.

He was not yet used to the feeling of being surrounded by crowds.

Therefore, Lin Yi had to make an excuse about going to the restroom and then quickly slipped away.

Running all the way to the dormitory entrance while covering his face, Lin Yi was originally prepared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a familiar figure.

Seeing that Lin Yi had returned, Su Ming smiled and waved at him.

"Lin Yi, I heard you won the championship today, congratulations!"

Su Ming hadn't been in a good mood for the past few days.

Because Li Runze had been looking for her.

She also knew what Li Runze was looking for her for.

Although their engagement seemed to be a done deal, Su Ming didn't want to prepare anything for it at all.

She just wanted to go through the motions with Li Runze.

In her heart, she considered this to be nothing more than a transaction.

It was not the kind of love she wanted at all.

Therefore, she didn't want to spend any effort on it.

But Li Runze did not agree.

In his view, his, Li Runze's, fiancée had to make a grand entrance that day and stun everyone present.

And her words and actions had to be proper.

Only then would she be worthy of his status as the eldest young master of the Li family.

Seeing that he couldn't get through to Su Ming's phone, Li Runze sent a message to Su Ming saying that he would come to the school to find her at noon today.

Su Ming knew she couldn't avoid it anymore, so she had been waiting for Li Runze at school with fear in her heart.

But she waited until the afternoon and still didn't see Li Runze.

Later, she asked Li Runze's secretary and found out that Li Runze had been rear-ended by a panamera at the gate of Nanling University today.

The other party had also been very generous, directly transferring a large sum of money to buy Li Runze's car outright.

Combining these key pieces of information, Su Ming immediately guessed that Lin Yi had done this.

Driving a panamera and being able to casually take out tens of millions—such a person was only Lin Yi in all of Nanling University.

Su Ming didn't expect that by a stroke of luck, Lin Yi had helped her block the person she didn't want to see.

Coupled with hearing about Lin Yi winning the e-sports championship in the afternoon, Su Ming thought about coming to congratulate Lin Yi.

And by the way, express her gratitude.

Lin Yi was a bit surprised to see Su Ming at this moment.

He didn't expect Su Ming to care so much about his affairs.

She even knew he was going to play a match in the afternoon.

"Senior, you are quite well-informed."

Lin Yi joked.

Su Ming raised her chin proudly.

"Of course, I am the president of the Student Union after all."

"Of course I would know about such things."

"You can be considered to have brought glory to the school!"

Lin Yi looked humble.

"Senior, you flatter me. At most, this just counts as me being good at playing games."

The two of them stood at the entrance of the male dormitory building and chatted like this.

Not far away, Guan Zhixue saw this scene, and her jealousy exploded, causing anger to instantly rise in her heart.

She felt that the reason Lin Yi rejected her today was because of this vixen, Su Ming.

Guan Zhixue was very unconvinced.

What was so great about Su Ming?

Isn't it just relying on her looks!

Guan Zhixue had also heard when she was eavesdropping on Li Tong and Yang Xiaoli chatting at the dormitory entrance that day.

It turned out that Su Ming was already about to get engaged.

A person who was about to get engaged was still being ambiguous with Lin Yi here.

They had even slept together before.

If this isn't a vixen, what is!

Simply shameful!

If it weren't for this slutty vixen, maybe Lin Yi would have already changed his mind and come back to her!

Thinking of this, Guan Zhixue silently picked up the thermos that had just been filled with boiling water and quietly walked towards Lin Yi and Su Ming.

Over here, Lin Yi was enthusiastically describing the afternoon's match to Su Ming.

As for games, Su Ming also understood a little.

She would play in her spare time, but she was quite bad at it.

Lin Yi was talking so intently that he didn't even notice Guan Zhixue appearing not far behind him.

Seeing that the distance was about right, Guan Zhixue splashed the boiling water from the thermos towards the two of them.

"Once you're disfigured, let's see what you have to compete with me!"

Guan Zhixue said viciously in her heart.

Seeing the steaming boiling water splashing towards Lin Yi, Su Ming subconsciously wanted to pull Lin Yi away.

But Lin Yi also noticed something wrong at this moment.

But by this time, the hot water was already about to splash onto him.

Therefore, Lin Yi grabbed Su Ming, hugged her tightly, and protected her firmly in his arms.

He took the full force of the pot of hot water with his back.

"Splash!"

The hot water doused Lin Yi's entire back.

The scalding heat made Lin Yi grimace in pain.

"Damn it... why is it my back again..."

"My back was scratched a few days ago when I saved Xu Dongqing and hasn't even recovered yet, and today I got scalded again..."

"It hurts like hell..."

Lin Yi looked back, wanting to find the person who splashed the water.

But by now, Guan Zhixue had long since run off without a trace.

Su Ming struggled out of Lin Yi's arms, her face full of worry.

"Lin Yi, are you okay!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to the infirmary now!"

Lin Yi nodded.

This scald was quite severe.

If he didn't apply medicine in time, it would probably blister and leave a scar.

To prevent his clothes from sticking to his skin, Su Ming helped Lin Yi take off his top.

Lin Yi's strong, muscular physique made Su Ming blush and her heart race.

"I... I'll help you..."

Lin Yi was in severe pain on his back, and any slight movement caused piercing pain.

So he obediently put his arm on Su Ming's fragrant shoulder and let her support him as they went to the infirmary.

"Look, isn't that the school beauty Su? Why is she walking with a shirtless boy!"

"Yeah, and look, that boy even has his arm around Su Ming's shoulder!"

"Oh my god, did the school beauty Su start dating?"

"She has never accepted anyone's confession since her freshman year!"

"Wait... this boy... why does he look a bit familiar?"

Zhou Zhengyi was also in the crowd at this moment, and looking in the direction everyone was pointing, Zhou Zhengyi was so angry his nose was crooked.

"Damn it, Lin the Dog!"

"It's you again!"

"Not even wearing a shirt in public, and holding Su Ming—where is he taking Su Ming?"

Zhou Zhengyi instantly had bad thoughts.

So he secretly followed behind Su Ming and Lin Yi.
