Chapter 110: Justice Has Been Served
Lin Muqing finally realized who the person in front of her was. She couldn’t help but say it out loud in a clear voice.
Now that she recognized him, a knowing look appeared on Lin Muqing’s face. No wonder she always thought this boy looked a bit… not so smart. Turns out, he really wasn’t very smart, and on top of that, he was the flower thief from before.
“What… what are you saying…”
The boy froze in awkwardness again. He never expected Lin Muqing would recognize him like that, and especially didn’t expect her to say the words “flower thief” so loudly. He could feel the eyes of people nearby start to change. They were looking at him strangely.
If he wasn’t wrong, they were looking at him… like he was some kind of pervert.
“What? Did I say something wrong, Mr. Flower Thief?”
Seeing that he wouldn’t admit it, Lin Muqing wasn’t having it. She raised her voice even more as she replied.
“Ahem, this really isn’t the right place to talk.”
The boy was super embarrassed now. He could feel more and more people staring at him strangely. All he wanted now was to get out of here quickly.
He had always thought of himself as cool and charming, with a good-looking face and stylish clothes. After years of “practice,” he believed he had pretty good charm. But what he didn’t understand was that the so-called charm he was proud of wasn’t even on the same level as Lin Muqing.
(Silly and sweet girls are unbeatable!)
“I don’t want to talk to you, Mr. Flower Thief.”
Lin Muqing looked at the boy standing in her way with clear annoyance. She didn’t have time to mess around with this guy, she still needed to find her good buddy. She had already spent a lot of time waiting in line at the restroom, and if she didn’t hurry up, her buddy might get worried.
After saying that, Lin Muqing walked right around the boy and headed toward the milk tea shop.
“I’m not a flower thief!”
The boy suddenly moved and quickly blocked her path again. Hearing her say “flower thief” so many times had finally made him angry, and his voice got louder.
“Huh? But the cafe had security cameras! There’s video proof and eyewitnesses. Do you really think denying it will work?”
Her words caused a stir. People around them gasped and even started taking photos with their phones.
To most people, this boy looked pretty decent at first glance, but now? What kind of person was he really? The world was going downhill!
And the fact that it happened right in front of a cafe camera? That made it sound even worse. Although people didn’t know exactly what had happened, their minds had already filled in the blanks. Basically this boy was a creep.
“You—!”
Maybe it was because he felt totally defeated, or maybe Lin Muqing didn’t fully understand what “flower thief” usually meant… either way, the boy lost his temper.
“Come with me!”
Frustrated, he reached out to grab Lin Muqing’s hand, wanting to drag her somewhere else to explain himself, to explain what she meant by calling him a “flower thief!”
“Hey! What are you trying to do?”
Lin Muqing quickly stepped back, pulling her hands up to protect her chest, and glared at him with caution. Luckily, she moved fast, or else her hand would have been caught.
Just as she let out a small sigh of relief, the boy reached out again, this time aiming for her hands that were in front of her chest.
But the boy, blinded by anger, didn’t realize that what he was doing now totally looked like a pervert trying to grope someone. Just as his hand was about to touch Lin Muqing’s, to grab her hand, something unexpected happened.
Lin Muqing’s eyes suddenly went wide. If you looked closely, you could see that her eyes had gone blank for a moment, she looked a little dazed.
Then…
She grabbed the boy’s wrist, turned slightly, and with help from her other hand…
BOOM!
She threw him over her shoulder, right there in front of everyone.
“Ahhh!”
The boy didn’t even have time to react. He just felt someone suddenly grab his arm, and then everything spun around. Before he knew it, he was already lying flat on the ground. The moment the pain hit him, he cried out. That’s when he realized he had just been thrown over the shoulder.
He wasn’t the only one stunned. Almost everyone around was frozen in place. A girl who looked soft and gentle had just pulled off such an impressive move. And after she threw him, she stood there without moving, as if striking a pose.
“Nice!”
“So cool!”
“That’s how it should be!”
After one person shouted, a round of applause followed. Everyone there was clearly on Lin Muqing’s side.
From what the crowd had just seen, a guy who had been exposed as a pervert tried to get physical in anger, and ended up getting punished by justice. What a satisfying scene!
“Ah! What’s going on?!”
Hearing the voices around her, Lin Muqing suddenly snapped back to her senses, and then she was shocked by what she saw.
The boy was lying on the ground, surrounded by a crowd, and people were talking about her, some were even taking photos and videos. Like a frightened bunny, she looked around nervously. Her face was flushed, and she looked a bit panicked and embarrassed.
Not having time to figure out what just happened, Lin Muqing quickly found a gap in the crowd and ran off in a hurry.
“Ow… That hurt so much…”
Still lying on the ground, the boy rubbed the back of his head where he had landed and complained out loud.
Before he could even get up, someone suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Ye Ziming, who had just bought milk tea and was coming to find Lin Muqing.
“Brother Ye? What a coincidence.”
The boy was surprised to see Ye Ziming and quickly smiled to greet him.
But Ye Ziming didn’t say a word in response.
He quietly placed the two drinks on a nearby stone bench, then walked back over and reached out a hand toward the boy.
“Thanks, Brothe—”
Before the boy could finish his sentence, the world spun again, followed by another wave of pain. This time, the over-the-shoulder throw hurt even more, because Ye Ziming actually knew how to fight.
After finishing the throw, Ye Ziming gave the boy a cold look, picked up the two drinks, and turned to leave, heading in the same direction that Lin Muqing had run off in.
The crowd was left stunned again. Just when they thought the show was over, there was a surprise encore.
Soon, some observant people in the crowd noticed something.
“Hey, their clothes kinda look like matching outfits.”
“Yeah! Now that you mention it, they do!”
“She’s so pretty, and he’s really handsome too. I totally ship them!”
Meanwhile, the boy still lying on the ground overheard some of their comments. Only then did he start to realize what was going on.
But there was still one thing he didn’t understand, how in the world did a girl who’s barely 160cm tall manage to throw him over her shoulder like that? Could someone please explain it to him?!
