Chapter 310 Searching for Xia Yiyi
Late at night, Jiang Bai was bored, so he rode his bicycle erratically to the bar street on Zhangwu Road in the Lower East District to find Xia Yiyi.
He was free anyway. Yao Lan had recently gone on a business trip to the capital, and Ye Qingcheng had also gone out to do commercial performances. He was all alone at home, so he might as well go find Xia Yiyi and fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher.
Upon entering Zhangwu Road, Jiang Bai saw a bustling crowd on both sides of the not-so-wide street, mostly young men and women, with the majority being young people like Jiang Bai. Of course, there were also some middle-aged men who were overweight.
Young people come out to have fun, hoping to occasionally have a romantic encounter or something.
The older men, on the other hand, are purely out hunting for women, basically hoping to spend some money to find a young and beautiful woman for a one-night stand.
Compared to the stylishly dressed young people, Jiang Bai seemed out of place, somewhat resembling the middle-aged men, and his bicycle stood out conspicuously on the street.
This attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street, who all looked at Jiang Bai with curiosity.
Jiang Bai ignored all of this, stopped briefly on the road, asked an old man with a roadside stall for directions to the Earth Bar, and then walked inside.
It's almost 10 o'clock now, and the area is gradually starting to get lively. If Xia Yiyi is really playing here, she should be able to find it.
Unfortunately, after searching around the Earth Bar, she found nothing. She asked a waiter, but he didn't recognize her at all. In the end, Jiang Bai had no choice but to leave and head towards the Blue Sky Bar at the street corner.
As soon as Jiang Bai entered, he found the bar to be bustling and lively, with dancing figures everywhere, mostly young people, and only a small number of middle-aged people.
With a quick glance, Jiang Bai spotted Xia Yiyi in the corner. She was wearing a red jacket, sky-blue jeans, and a wisp of blue light on her neat short hair, making her look exceptionally dazzling.
At this moment, she seemed to be arguing with someone. Opposite her was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was using his hands and mouth to say something.
Jiang Bai quietly walked in and overheard their conversation.
The speaker was the plump middle-aged man: "I'm telling you, you have to come with me tonight! You took my money yesterday and ran away, but I caught you today. If you don't give me an explanation, you'll be sorry!"
"What do you mean I took your money? I don't even know you! If you keep bothering me, I'll scream!"
Xia Yiyi's voice rang out, neutral yet with a touch of gentleness.
She was originally a beautiful and gentle girl, but she deliberately dressed herself in a rather androgynous way. However, while appearance can be changed, voice and mannerisms are hard to alter.
When speaking, one unconsciously reveals their true nature.
"You bitch! Still trying to deny it? Let me tell you, if you take my money, you have to do what I say! Tonight, even the King of Heaven himself can't save you!" The middle-aged man was clearly drunk. After hearing Xia Yiyi's words, he slapped her across the face without saying a word.
Unfortunately, before the slap could land, Jiang Bai blocked it with his hand and firmly grabbed his wrist.
As a teacher, Jiang Bai felt obligated to intervene at this time.
Especially since the girl in front of him was his student.
Whether Xia Yiyi has a problem or not, whether what she did was right or wrong, was never within Jiang Bai's consideration.
He is a very protective person. As long as someone is under his Jiang Bai control, whatever they do is right or wrong, it is always right!
Clearly, in Jiang Bai's eyes, Xia Yiyi belonged to him.
"What do you think you're doing, kid! Mind your own business. My affair with this bitch is none of your concern. Don't try to be a hero!"
The middle-aged man struggled a couple of times after Jiang Bai grabbed his wrist, but couldn't break free, so he angrily yelled at Jiang Bai.
As he spoke, seven or eight companions who had been standing some distance away came over. Among them were four or five young men and three middle-aged men of similar age. They had already surrounded Jiang Bai.
"Kid, what do you want?"
"Are you looking for trouble? Let go now!"
"Do you want to die? Do you know who my brother is?"
Seven or eight people surrounded Jiang Bai, shouting at each other, but they didn't make a move. Their shouting was more like a taunt, as if they wanted to use their numbers to force Jiang Bai to submit.
"Watch your mouth. You're a man in your fifties, how can you bully a little girl? How can you have the nerve?"
Jiang Bai shook off the other person's hand and said with a hint of mockery.
He has never had a high opinion of guys who bully women, especially those who are in their fifties and still shameless.
"What do you know! This woman drank with us yesterday, promised to sleep with me, and charged me three thousand yuan. But when we got to the hotel, she ran away while I was taking a shower! I've been looking for her all day, and I finally found her! She's a complete fraud!"
The middle-aged man opposite him spoke angrily, clearly furious about what happened yesterday.
Three thousand yuan is a lot of money. Normally, it would only cost a few hundred yuan to find someone. Xia Yiyi asked for three thousand yuan right off the bat, and this person gave it to her. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be a particularly wealthy person.
Xia Yiyi's willingness to spend money so much seems to be related to her age and appearance.
"Really?" Jiang Bai ignored the middle-aged man, turned his head, glanced at Xia Yiyi, and asked.
Xia Yiyi blushed slightly at his words, but she did not deny it. She nodded almost imperceptibly, but then she explained, "I sell alcohol. He harassed me, so I asked him for money, and he gave me three thousand. I just wanted to teach him a lesson."
As for whether it's true or false, Jiang Bai has no idea.
"Where's the money?" Jiang Bai asked again.
"Uh, it cost money..." Xia Yiyi's face turned even redder.
"Ahem, well, three thousand, right? Here you go, now get out of here."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai coughed twice, took out a wad of cash from his wallet, found out three thousand yuan, threw it at the other person, and told him to leave.
"Money? Do I look like someone who's short of money? Let me tell you, I don't want the money, I just want the woman! Tonight I'm going to fuck this filthy bitch! Whoever touches me will regret it!"
However, the middle-aged man did not take Jiang Bai's money, and roared with righteous indignation.
"Dream on! Go to hell! I'll fight you to the death!"
Xia Yiyi responded defiantly to these words.
As the little girl spoke, she grabbed a beer bottle from the table next to her and made a gesture as if she was about to fight to the death.
"What are you doing! What do you want to do! Who are you bullying, you little brat!"
Jiang Bai was still considering whether to take action or prevent the situation from escalating, but at this moment the situation suddenly changed, and a young voice rang out.
The next second, a dozen or so young men rushed over from a distance, each one looking menacing. Some were carrying chairs, some were holding beer bottles, and Jiang Bai even saw some carrying daggers. Led by a boy of about eighteen or nineteen, they charged over like that.
He stood directly in front of Xia Yiyi and Jiang Bai, pointing a wine bottle at the middle-aged man who had just spoken.
It's not hard to imagine that all these people were with Xia Yiyi; they were probably her friends or accomplices.
It seems Xia Yiyi wasn't entirely unprepared.
"What do you want! Kid, you're in cahoots with her, aren't you! Heh, do you think I don't know who you are? Let me tell you, the reason I dared to come here today is because I knew you guys were coming!"
The slightly drunk middle-aged man didn't take this group of young people in their teens and twenties seriously, and snorted coldly as he spoke.
It was as if the appearance of these young people was exactly what he expected.
"You figured us out? Old man, who are you trying to scare!"
One of the boys shouted loudly, not taking the threat seriously.
At their age, they are fearless and won't be intimidated by a single sentence from the other party.
"Just kidding! How about that?"
Just then, a voice rang out, and the next second a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a leather jacket and with his hair standing on end, walked out and said arrogantly.
He was accompanied by two young men dressed in flashy, trendy clothes, but Jiang Bai couldn't appreciate them at all.
They were few in number, but their presence was imposing.
"Yang...Brother Yang..."
The few boys who had just been standing up for Xia Yiyi immediately chickened out, their faces turning pale and their voices trembling.
It was clear that they were very afraid of the young man who had come.
While speaking, they subconsciously hid the weapon in their hands, and it's unclear why they were so afraid.
Jiang Bai glanced at Xia Yiyi not far away and noticed that her expression had changed slightly and she looked unnatural. It was clear that this Brother Yang had a fearsome reputation.
He had only just arrived and said one sentence when he scared off the group of people who had been so aggressive just moments before.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap landed directly on the face of the young man who had led the group; it was Brother Yang who had made the move.
"Feng Jun, you've got some nerve, bringing people to challenge Boss Niu? Do you know he's my boss? You guys dare to lay a hand on him? You're all asking for trouble!"
This surprised Jiang Bai. The middle-aged man's attire was ordinary, and he didn't seem particularly wealthy. He hadn't expected him to be a "general manager," but he wondered what he did and why Yang Ge was working for him.
As soon as Yang Ge spoke, the group of fearless young men next to him lowered their heads and dared not speak, for fear of angering Yang Ge.
Even Feng Jun, who had previously led the charge, wisely kept his mouth shut.
After being slapped, he not only dared not retaliate, but also hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Yang, I didn't know, I really didn't know this man was your boss. If I had known, even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't have dared to offend him."
"Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us. We really won't do it again. I promise... we won't do it again."
As soon as Feng Jun apologized, Xia Yiyi's face paled even more. A hint of fear appeared in her originally fearless eyes, and her fingers trembled slightly, which was extremely subtle.
However, Jiang Bai saw it clearly...
Chapter 311 Lack of Loyalty
It's not hard to imagine that Xia Yiyi actually knows this Yang Ge, or at least knows him, otherwise she wouldn't have acted this way.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Jiang Bai could still tell that Xia Yiyi was the type to be bold and reckless. For her to be frightened, she must have a notorious reputation.
I just don't know what it does.
"Could it be another idiot thug like Zhao Xinhu? Why are so many of these kinds of people popping up all the time lately?" Jiang Bai couldn't help but wonder.
At this moment, Yang spoke up: "You don't dare? If you don't dare, then you'd better get out of here right now!"
When Yang Ge spoke, Feng Jun naturally dared not disobey. He quickly nodded and said "Yes," then pulled his group of brothers around and turned to leave. Before leaving, he gave Xia Yiyi a wink.
Xia Yiyi wisely decided to leave as well.
"etc."
Unfortunately, Yang's voice rang out at this moment, causing them to freeze and stop in their tracks.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Jun bowed and asked, "Brother Yang, is there anything else you need?"
"No orders were given, but you can leave, but she can't."
After saying that, he turned his attention to Xia Yiyi.
One sentence caused Feng Jun and the others' expressions to change drastically. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Feng Jun spoke up: "Brother Yang, Yiyi doesn't know, we..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was met with a resounding slap.
"Get lost! Stop talking nonsense!"
The slap left Feng Jun somewhat dazed. Some of the people following him became restless, but in the end they had to back down, and not a single one of them rushed out.
Jiang Bai was speechless at this. Look at Yang Ge, he only had two people with him, plus the seven or eight before. Four of them were obviously old, plump, and had almost zero fighting power.
There are more than a dozen of you here, and you don't dare to move at all. What are you afraid of?
What's the point of showing off with such a small amount of guts? Dreaming of making it in society? Going home and finding a job or doing odd jobs would be much more reliable.
A bunch of cowards.
The slap stunned Feng Jun, who stood there for a long time. He glanced at Xia Yiyi beside him, then looked apologetic but didn't say a word. He led his men away with their heads down, looking dejected.
"Damn it, what a traitor!" Jiang Bai thought to himself.
However, he didn't say it.
At this moment, Xia Yiyi, who had no idea that her companions would abandon her and leave in such a dejected manner, was left all alone, looked somewhat dazed.
After a long while, watching Feng Jun and the others disappear through the door, Xia Yiyi finally came to her senses. A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and at this moment, she was quite decisive, stepping forward and saying, "You guys are something else. I didn't expect my friends to be so disloyal. Today, I, Xia Yiyi, have been defeated. Do whatever you want with me. I'll just consider this a day I was bitten by a dog!"
"You fucking bitch!"
Upon hearing this, the young man next to Yang Ge immediately became dissatisfied, raised his arm, and slapped Xia Yiyi across the pretty face.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound rang out, but it wasn't the sound of a slap hitting the ground; instead, Jiang Bai tightly gripped his raised arm.
Jiang Bai, who had been silent all along, made his move, which left everyone around him somewhat bewildered, especially Xia Yiyi, who looked at Jiang Bai with a puzzled expression.
If Jiang Bai's actions just now were a classic case of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress and forcibly stepping in, Xia Yiyi could understand it; she was quite confident in her appearance.
But now that Jiang Bai hasn't left, she doesn't quite understand. Hasn't he seen that so many of his friends are too scared to make a move and have been frightened away?
"Is this guy stupid?" Xia Yiyi thought to herself.
He stood up and shouted, showing great loyalty, "You should leave now, this is none of your business."
Jiang Bai's lips curled slightly in response. He remained silent, glanced at Yang Ge in front of him, and said noncommittally, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for so many of you to bully a little girl?"
"Hey kid, who are you? You've got some nerve!"
Yang Ge stared at Jiang Bai with a fierce glint in his eyes, but he didn't do anything reckless.
One of the reasons Yang Ge has managed to stay in jail until now is his ability to assess situations carefully and never act rashly without absolute certainty.
Jiang Bai looks very young, but he still dares to stand up in this situation, which makes Yang Ge think that Jiang Bai must have something to rely on.
Completely ignoring Yang Ge, Jiang Bai turned his gaze to that Boss Niu: "Judging from what you're saying... you're some kind of 'boss,' what do you do?"
This question made Mr. Niu a little uneasy.
Tiandu is a place where hidden talents abound, and unexpected people emerge all at once. Who knows where a nobody might come from, or what extraordinary background they might have? Therefore, Boss Niu always adheres to the mindset of not causing trouble recklessly, and even if he does, he should find out the truth first.
This is also one of the secrets to his success today.
"Niu Ben Construction, I wonder if you've heard of it, brother?"
When Boss Niu introduced himself, Jiang Bai realized that there were countless companies in Tiandu, and he had never heard of Niu Ben Construction.
Perhaps fearing that Jiang Bai might not know about Niu Ben Construction, Mr. Niu added, "I'm friends with Mr. Zhang from Haojiang Group, and Niu Ben Construction has always been a partner of Haojiang Group!"
Actually, this is somewhat of an exaggeration. Niu Ben did get a lot of work for Haojiang Group and met Zhang Changgeng twice, but whether Zhang Changgeng knew him or not is another matter.
He brought up Zhang Changgeng only to glorify himself.
After all, Zhang Changgeng was a genuine veteran tycoon in Tiandu City. If someone in Tiandu didn't even know Zhang Changgeng, they were definitely a nobody.
"Zhang Changgeng?"
Jiang Bai lit a cigarette and glanced disdainfully at Niu Ben out of the corner of his eye.
This startled Boss Niu, and even Brother Yang next to him tensed up.
He quickly began to calculate in his mind: "No wonder this person dared to step forward; he actually knows Mr. Zhang."
At this point, they were already considering backing down. Someone who could directly call Zhang Changgeng by his name and dare to address him by his full name was definitely not someone they, as insignificant figures, could afford to offend.
"I don't know who you and Mr. Zhang are..." Mr. Niu asked tentatively.
"Him? I don't know him well. But this bastard messed with me, so I taught him a lesson. Why would he mess with a teacher like me for no reason? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?"
Jiang Bai took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a pale blue smoke ring, and said nonchalantly.
But his words only made things worse. As soon as he said them, Yang Ge and Boss Niu's expressions changed. They weren't frightened, but rather their faces were filled with anger!
"What a load of bull! Someone like you dares to lecture Mr. Zhang?"
Yang Ge couldn't hold back his anger any longer and started cursing at Jiang Bai, pointing his finger at Jiang Bai's nose.
If Jiang Bai knew Zhang Changgeng and claimed to be Zhang Changgeng's nephew or something, they might believe him.
To teach Zhang Changgeng a lesson?
That would be seen as pure bragging in their eyes.
Who is Zhang Changgeng?
In their eyes, he was a powerful figure who could control everything and stir up trouble!
He's a real local tyrant; who would dare mess with him?
Mr. Zhang has never suffered a loss in Tiandu over the years, so who can touch him?
At this point, they had completely forgotten the fact that Zhang Changgeng had actually suffered a loss last year.
However, looking at Jiang Bai's appearance, his clothes together only cost a few hundred yuan, which is too obvious compared to the powerful and influential Jiang Ye who once dominated the capital. It's no wonder they didn't think about it.
"I've already told you, if you don't believe me, then forget it. Let's fight then... Do you guys want to fight?" Jiang Bai shrugged, looking completely nonchalant.
These days, people don't believe the truth, so what can Jiang Bai do?
Judging from his appearance, it would be useless for him to introduce himself. Besides, with Xia Yiyi around, Jiang Bai was unwilling to introduce himself.
Since they don't believe us, we have no choice but to fight.
When it comes to fighting, Jiang Bai is truly not afraid of anyone.
"court death!"
Yang was completely baffled by Jiang Bai's attitude, not understanding where Jiang Bai's confidence came from.
However, he didn't hesitate. After Jiang Bai made the suggestion, he threw a punch straight at Jiang Bai's face, wanting to give Jiang Bai a black eye first.
"Go find your grandpa!"
Jiang Bai replied with that sentence, and before Yang Ge could even get close to Jiang Bai, he was kicked away by Jiang Bai.
As for Jiang Bai himself, he remained standing there steadily, one hand in his pocket, leaning to the side and smoking a cigarette, looking incredibly cool.
"Stop talking nonsense, come at me all at once, I'm busy."
Jiang Bai impatiently beckoned with his finger and said this.
"superior!"
Boss Niu roared and ordered several young men around him to attack Jiang Bai.
Several people approached Jiang Bai shakily, and then someone shouted first, and several people pounced on Jiang Bai at the same time. To be on the safe side, some of them even picked up the wine bottles on the table.
Jiang Bai kicked one person away, then turned around to dodge the attack of the bottle behind him, and used his elbow to smash the person behind him to the ground. Then, with a whip kick, both of them were kicked to the ground.
The entire movement was as smooth as flowing water and as fast as lightning, ending in the blink of an eye, leaving Mr. Niu and the other middle-aged men speechless for a long time.
Even a pig would know that it has gotten itself into trouble this time and has kicked a hornet's nest.
In an instant, beads of sweat covered Niu Zong's forehead.
"Well, I think there's no one left here right now, so a fight is definitely out of the question. How about... we just let this go?"
Jiang Bai stood there, took one last drag of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, stomped it out, glanced at Boss Niu who was covered in sweat, and said leisurely.
"Okay...okay...forget it...whatever you say goes."
Clearly outmatched and fearing Jiang Bai might attack him, Boss Niu quickly responded.
"Then... three thousand yuan?"
"I don't want it anymore, not a single cent!"
Just kidding, it's only three thousand yuan, not worth risking your life for!
Look at Yang and the others, lying on the ground unable to get up. It looks like they won't be well for several weeks. Boss Niu just heard a crisp cracking sound.
We don't even know if there's anything wrong with his bones yet. To end up like this for just three thousand dollars?
He's not stupid.
"That's good."
Jiang Bai said with a smile, then glanced at Xia Yiyi, who looked completely bewildered, and said, "Let's go."
Then, without looking back, he strode away.
As for whether Boss Niu and his group would retaliate, that was completely outside Jiang Bai's considerations.
If they dare, Jiang Bai will welcome them with open arms and feet.
Chapter 312 I'm Not That Despicable
Stepping out of the blue sky, Jiang Bai pondered a few words.
He was strategizing how to tell Xia Yiyi about his glorious title of "People's Teacher," and then how to use righteous and awe-inspiring words to bring this wayward girl, who had clearly reached the edge of life, back onto a normal life path.
But before he could speak, Xia Yiyi, who was walking ahead, suddenly said, "I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat."
This made Jiang Bai swallow the words he had prepared.
As a teacher, a homeroom teacher, and a wealthy homeroom teacher.
Jiang Bai felt that since his student was hungry, he should treat her to something to eat.
Of course, this only applies to pretty female students.
As for those same-sex boys and ugly girls.
Forgive the teacher; a teacher's love is not that vast.
"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Bai asked.
As for food, it was naturally up to Xia Yiyi.
Jiang Bai wasn't familiar with this area, and to be honest, he was also a bit hungry.
"Just grab something to eat. There's a pretty good barbecue place here; I often eat here."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yiyi offered a suggestion.
Jiang Bai readily agreed and asked Xia Yiyi to lead the way. Soon, they passed through the bustling bar street and found a night market on the next street, where Jiang Bai and Xia Yiyi sat down.
As soon as Xia Yiyi sat down, the owner greeted her warmly, personally brought her two bottles of beer, and then asked her what she wanted to eat. Xia Yiyi ordered some things and handed the order to Jiang Bai.
"Thirty meat skewers, two kidneys..." Jiang Bai stated his desired order directly.
Jiang Bai had absolutely no interest in vegetables; he was a complete carnivore.
After explaining everything, Jiang Bai casually poured himself a beer, then glanced at Xia Yiyi, thought for a moment, and poured her a beer as well.
"What kind of cup? One bottle for each person. Let's drink first."
Before Jiang Bai could pour the wine, Xia Yiyi grabbed a beer bottle from the table and chugged it down.
"Cough cough..."
However, her grand pronouncements were really lacking in substance. She choked after only a couple of sips, quickly put down the bottle, and coughed for a while before she came to her senses.
She wiped her lips, glanced at Jiang Bai, and said with a slightly flushed face, "I accidentally choked just now, let's try again."
"No, stop drinking slowly. I can't stand drinking one bottle after another. What, are you trying to get drunk?"
Jiang Bai stopped Xia Yiyi's actions and spoke calmly.
After saying that, he raised his glass, clinked it with the other person's, and drank it all in one gulp.
Xia Yiyi didn't hesitate and drank it all in one go.
After the two of them finished two bottles of beer, a bunch of food had already been served. Jiang Bai didn't hesitate and started eating right away, and of course, he asked the owner for a few more bottles of beer.
However, Xia Yiyi stopped him and directly asked for a whole box.
This left Jiang Bai speechless. He glanced at Xia Yiyi, but didn't say anything, and started eating.
The grilled skewers here tasted good, and Jiang Bai enjoyed his meal very much.
Compared to Jiang Bai's hearty eating, Xia Yiyi was much more refined. She ate quite slowly, but not in the uncouth way that Jiang Bai did. She took small bites and ate very quickly.
After eating for a while, Xia Yiyi suddenly raised her glass to Jiang Bai.
Without saying a word, Jiang Bai clinked glasses with the other person.
Once it started, it just wouldn't stop. We drank more than a dozen bottles before we finally stopped, and the whole case was empty.
At this moment, Jiang Bai stopped the other party: "Isn't that enough?"
"I haven't eaten or drunk enough yet."
Xia Yiyi's alcohol tolerance was clearly not very high; after drinking this little bit of watery beer, she was already a bit dazed.
He seemed slightly drunk as he spoke.
Jiang Bai was certain that she wasn't drunk, but rather that she was affected by alcohol to some extent.
This is also why Jiang Bai stopped her from drinking any more.
"What's wrong with such a tiny little girl drinking so much?" Jiang Bai said, frowning.
He started brainstorming his words again, thinking about how to teach Xia Yiyi a lesson and make her turn over a new leaf.
"I'm fine, I'm just angry. Those bastards, when we hang out together, they always talk about being willing to live and die together, about loyalty. Especially that bastard Feng Jun, he kept saying he liked me and would risk his life for me, and that if anyone dared to bully me, he would fight them to the death."
"That's all bullshit! Today I finally see these bastards for who they really are. All that talk about loyalty and liking is fake, it's all bullshit. Yang Ge said one word and they didn't dare to fart and left, leaving me all alone! It's a shame they call themselves a bunch of men."
Xia Yiyi drank another glass of wine and said angrily.
She hadn't shown any emotion earlier, but now she finally spoke her mind, expressing her considerable anger at the behavior of Feng Jun and the others.
Or rather, it's disappointment, a feeling of being cheated.
Jiang Bai really didn't know what to say about this, and after a long while he finally managed to say, "Well, they are indeed a bit cowardly, but they are still young."
"You have to understand, everyone has fears. They're just afraid of that Yang guy from earlier, not that they don't care about you."
Jiang Bai offered these words of comfort, but in his heart he had already sentenced those kids to death. Youth is the time when you're most spirited, and if they're all so cowardly, they're definitely doomed for life.
"Hmph! You don't need to comfort me... I know Ju Yang is not someone to be trifled with, but there are so many of them, and only a few of Ju Yang's? They don't even have the guts to fight, which proves that I'm not important to them at all. I even considered them brothers! I was really blind."
Xia Yiyi said angrily, as if she deeply regretted treating these people as friends and brothers.
"Forehead..."
Jiang Bai didn't say anything. If he hadn't been there today, anyone with eyes could guess what would have happened if Xia Yiyi had fallen into those people's hands. No wonder the girl was angry.
"Not saying anything? Do you also think I'm right? The whole world knows what would have happened to me today without you!"
Xia Yiyi glanced at Jiang Bai and said somewhat drunkenly.
"Are you full?"
Jiang Bai felt that now was not the time to tell Xia Yiyi to go back to school obediently. He should settle her in her home first and deal with the rest later.
"We're full, where do we go next?"
Xia Yiyi nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then stood up, smiled, and said sweetly to Jiang Bai.
"Go home!" Jiang Bai said casually, then got up to pay the bill.
What time is it now? Where can I go? Of course, I'm going home.
"Are you going to take me to your house?" Xia Yiyi tilted her head, looking at Jiang Bai with a curious expression.
"Of course not! I'm going to your place." Jiang Bai replied irritably.
"Oh, okay..."
Xia Yiyi nodded.
The two then went out, with Jiang Bai riding his bicycle with Xia Yiyi on the back, and they headed towards a nearby residential area.
Xia Yiyi's home is not far away, in an old-fashioned neighborhood with decades of history.
When they arrived at the courtyard gate, Jiang Bai actually wanted to leave, but then he thought that Xia Yiyi might sneak out again, so he decided it would be better to take her home.
Looking at his watch, it was only around eleven o'clock. Although it was a bit abrupt to come over at this time, Xia Yiyi's problem was very serious. This girl's mind had completely gone astray. In Jiang Bai's opinion, he needed to talk to her parents.
Xia Yiyi didn't speak, and Jiang Bai didn't say anything either. The two of them arrived at Xia Yiyi's house, the east-facing apartment on the third floor. Xia Yiyi opened the door, and it was pitch black inside.
This made Jiang Bai hesitate. It seemed he had come at the wrong time; the other person's parents weren't home.
Before Jiang Bai could react, Xia Yiyi beckoned to him. Jiang Bai walked in, and Xia Yiyi turned on the light while closing the security door.
"this..."
With no one in the room, Jiang Bai decided to tell Xia Yiyi about his identity. Since her parents weren't home, it would be fine to talk to her.
Unfortunately, before he could say anything, Xia Yiyi pressed herself against Jiang Bai, hugging him tightly and pressing her soft lips to his, sealing his lips with hers. The next second, her smooth tongue slipped inside...
At this moment, Jiang Bai realized that Xia Yiyi had misunderstood him.
As a respectable teacher, my offer to take her home was interpreted by this girl as a signal to hook up.
In fact, Jiang Bai was capable of stopping Xia Yiyi, but Xia Yiyi's actions left Jiang Bai somewhat bewildered, and he didn't have time to stop her. Instead, she succeeded, tightly embracing Jiang Bai and starting a passionate kiss.
Although Jiang Bai, as a gentleman, genuinely resisted this kind of thing, the feeling was really good.
Without realizing it, Jiang Bai's hand had already reached around the other person's waist, pulling them into his arms.
After kissing for a minute, Xia Yiyi started tearing at Jiang Bai's clothes with her hands, but after a couple of tries, she realized it wasn't working and started taking off her own clothes.
A moment later, he took off his jacket and grabbed his black inner shirt with one hand, about to lift it up.
"Don't..."
Jiang Bai quickly grabbed the other person's hand. A kiss was fine, but Jiang Bai had no intention of sleeping with Xia Yiyi right now. He had come to her to get her into school, not to sleep with her.
"You don't like being in the living room? Okay, let's go into my room, there's a bed there..."
Xia Yiyi clearly misunderstood Jiang Bai's meaning. She took a deep breath, patted her slightly flushed cheeks, and said this.
"That's not what I meant! What I meant was that the two of us shouldn't be like this."
Jiang Bai reluctantly rejected the suggestion that had been tempting him, took a deep breath, and said seriously.
"Shouldn't you? You helped me because you're interested in me, right? Otherwise, why would you help me? Don't tell me you're acting out of a sense of justice. That might fool a child, but you men just want to sleep with me, don't you?"
Xia Yiyi was not convinced by Jiang Bai's answer and sneered, saying this.
Before Jiang Bai could answer, she dropped her cold smile and looked at him with teary eyes: "Don't worry, this is my first time. I'm giving it to you tonight because I like you, not because I want to blackmail you or cheat you out of money. I'm not that despicable."
Chapter 313 I am your teacher!
"Consider tonight my way of repaying you."
After saying that, Xia Yiyi leaned her head closer again.
At this point, Jiang Bai dared not continue; if he did, there was a sure chance of things going wrong.
Jiang Bai knew very well how high his self-control was; he might lose control at any moment.
Jiang Bai quickly covered Xia Yiyi's mouth with his hand and said, "No... please don't think like that. I'm helping you for a reason! It's not to sleep with you."
"Um?"
This piqued Xia Yiyi's curiosity. Instead of continuing the kiss, she looked at Jiang Bai with a curious expression, wondering why this stranger was suddenly telling her this.
Xia Yiyi didn't remember knowing anyone named Jiang Bai.
"Ahem, well, I'm the new homeroom teacher of Class 6, Grade 2. Your teacher, Ms. Su, has gone abroad and won't be back for the time being, so I'm covering her classes."
Jiang Bai coughed awkwardly and explained his purpose, but his face turned slightly red as he spoke, because just a minute before, he had been kissing Xia Yiyi passionately.
"ah?"
These words, once spoken, not only embarrassed Jiang Bai, but also made Xia Yiyi blush deeply. She stared at Jiang Bai for a long time, speechless, her small mouth slightly open.
It seems that one cannot immediately grasp the sheer volume of information contained within.
How did Jiang Bai suddenly appear as a teacher, and this teacher even helped me fight just now?
More importantly... the two of them just kissed...
This was my first kiss.
For a moment, Xia Yiyi was completely bewildered.
After a long while, they looked at each other in silence, neither of them knowing what to say.
Finally, Jiang Bai spoke first: "So, why haven't you been going to school these past few days?"
"I don't want to go," Xia Yiyi replied crisply.
"Are you having difficulties in your life?" Jiang Bai asked curiously.
He remembered what Xia Yiyi had said before: her conflict with Boss Niu was because Xia Yiyi used to sell alcohol.
However, she immediately shook her head. In Tiandu, to be able to own a house in such a community, Xia Yiyi's family background could not be said to be very good, but at least they were not poor, so it should not be a matter of financial difficulty.
"No, my dad doesn't have much money, but it's enough for me to go to school. My mom also gives me a lot of money every month. I have food and drink, and a house to live in. What difficulties could I possibly have? I just don't want to go!"
Xia Yiyi then found a place to sit down, her expression complicated, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Jiang Bai followed her over and sat down not far from her. Looking at Xia Yiyi, he said seriously, "What can a child as big as you do if you don't go to school? There's no good in messing around outside. You're lucky to have run into me today. If you hadn't run into me today, what would you have done? I think I don't need to say more."
"And I guarantee that if you continue to mess around like this, this kind of thing will definitely happen again, and not just once or twice!"
Jiang Bai said earnestly.
Xia Yiyi didn't seem to care. She was bored listening to Jiang Bai's old clichés, but suddenly, she thought of something interesting. She looked at Jiang Bai, blinked, and said, "Teacher, since you came to ask me to go to school, why did you kiss me just now?"
One sentence made Jiang Bai unable to continue speaking. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment and replied seriously, "You were the one who kissed me just now."
"But you didn't object...and you were very enthusiastic just now."
Xia Yiyi blinked and continued, leaving Jiang Bai speechless.
"Well, I have something to do today, so I'll be going now. I hope you can think about this carefully, go to class properly, and stop messing around outside."
Jiang Bai realized he couldn't continue speaking, at least not today, so he made an excuse, stood up, and prepared to leave.
"teacher..."
As soon as he stood up, Xia Yiyi immediately rushed to Jiang Bai's side, grabbed his arm, and pressed herself against him.
"Teacher, please don't leave. I'm scared living alone." Xia Yiyi said in a low voice, which made Jiang Bai's anger rise.
These are words that only a miniature version of Yao Lan would say, but... Jiang Bai knows that unlike Yao Lan, who is all looks and no action, he really can't control himself right now and will definitely have something happen between him and Xia Yiyi.
"You've been living here for more than a day or two, what's there to be afraid of? I have something to do, I have to go now."
Jiang Bai rejected this tempting offer to commit a crime.
It's not that he's a particularly upright gentleman, but Jiang Bai feels he should maintain his morals in terms of his status. Of course, the main reason is that the girl is too young and not yet an adult.
Jiang Bai felt that even if he wanted to have something happen with a woman, he should at least wait until she was eighteen.
Otherwise, he would have already made a move on that incredibly proactive Zhu Xinxin.
"Don't go. I'm scared anyway. As long as you don't leave, I'll just listen to you and go to class obediently tomorrow."
I don't know what Xia Yiyi was thinking, but she held onto Jiang Bai and wouldn't let him leave, and even made such a condition.
Actually, she herself wasn't sure, but Jiang Bai gave her a feeling of safety.
Especially after Feng Jun and his friends abandoned her, Xia Yiyi felt like her whole world had collapsed.
Because of her parents' divorce, she had a bad relationship with both of them, and she didn't have many friends at school due to her personality.
Having finally found a group of friends to hang out with, including Feng Jun, Xia Yiyi considered them her confidants. Even though she knew that Feng Jun seemed to have some ulterior motives towards her, she didn't expose him.
Because she was really lonely.
When Feng Jun and his friends abandoned her, Xia Yiyi was truly desperate.
However, at this moment, Jiang Bai seemed to suddenly appear as a ray of light in the darkness, saving her and giving Xia Yiyi hope, as if she had found someone to rely on.
She wanted to grasp at this glimmer of light and hope with all her might, which was why she was so proactive when she entered the room with Jiang Bai.
Because this was the only way she could think of to keep Jiang Bai by her side.
In her mind, men only get close to her for her body, right?
Since that's the case, she took out her most precious possession and used it to bind Jiang Bai.
She herself did not expect that things would turn out so quickly. She originally thought it was a case of a hero saving a damsel in distress and being attracted by her beauty, but unexpectedly, it turned out that she was a teacher saving her students.
This instantly shattered Xia Yiyi's previous thoughts.
Despite this, she still didn't want Jiang Bai to leave. She felt a kind of dependence on him, which came suddenly and inexplicably, and she didn't even know why.
"this..."
Jiang Bai hesitated for a moment. This was the purpose of his visit. If Xia Yiyi went to school obediently, it wouldn't hurt for him to accompany her.
"If you don't stay, I'll go out in a bit! I'll go find Feng Jun and the others, or that Brother Yang!" Xia Yiyi immediately threw out her trump card when she saw Jiang Bai hesitate.
"Okay... but you better behave!"
With a sigh, Jiang Bai agreed, but made this request.
"Don't worry, teacher! You sit down first, I'm going to take a shower!"
Upon hearing Jiang Bai's reply, Xia Yiyi immediately jumped up excitedly, arranged for Jiang Bai to sit down, poured him tea, and then turned to leave.
He had only taken a few steps when a question nearly made Jiang Bai, who was drinking tea, spit it out: "Teacher, would you like to wash together?"
"Damn it, you little vixen."
One sentence made Jiang Bai's nose bleed, and he screamed inwardly, but he quickly calmed down and said irritably, "Go on, hurry up and get going!"
As soon as Xia Yiyi entered the bathroom, the sound of rushing water could be heard a moment later.
Whether it was intentional or not, Jiang Bai clearly saw that the door wasn't closed when the girl went in, leaving a gap through which a dim light shone out.
Jiang Bai took a deep breath, lit a cigarette, and turned on the TV. At that moment, a fierce football match was being broadcast live.
Jiang Bai does have some interest in football, but it's only at the level of an amateur fan. He just watches for fun and can occasionally name a few popular stars.
There's absolutely no profound research to speak of.
However, something is better than nothing at this point; watching the game by myself is a way to distract myself.
Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would do something utterly inhuman.
After a while, Xia Yiyi came out, having changed into a large T-shirt. The oversized clothes revealed her fair shoulders and half of her chest, and the hem only barely covered her buttocks.
It appears casual yet revealing, exposing a pair of long, beautiful legs to the air.
Jiang Bai glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and had to admit that Xia Yiyi's legs were very beautiful, straight and fair.
In addition, she is slightly taller than Zhu Xinxin, which makes her appear even more youthful and charming.
Seeing Jiang Bai watching the game, Xia Yiyi ran over without any hesitation, plopped down next to him, and pressed herself against him: "Teacher, you like watching football? Which team do you like? I like the Sea Coachmen!"
"Well, I'm just browsing casually, nothing really catches my eye, but the German tanks are alright."
Jiang Bai shifted his position and said this.
However, as soon as he moved, Xia Yiyi followed suit, leaving Jiang Bai quite helpless.
"The German machine? Okay, from now on I'm their fan!"
Xia Yiyi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she proudly swore that she had become a fan of the German national team.
Jiang Bai was speechless. Well... yet another fake football fan.
After watching for a while, Xia Yiyi remained enthusiastic, occasionally chatting with Jiang Bai about topics that Jiang Bai was interested in. Jiang Bai followed her lead and gained a general understanding of Xia Yiyi's situation.
This girl lives on her own. Her father seems to be a mid-to-high-level manager in a large state-owned enterprise, while her mother is a businesswoman. The family is well-off, but unfortunately, her parents divorced early.
She started living with her grandmother when she was in junior high school. Two years ago, her grandmother passed away, and she has been living on her own ever since. Her relationship with her parents is not friendly; in fact, one could say that their family ties are weak.
With both parents getting married and having their own families and children, they paid even less attention to her.
They can meet her material needs, and both of them give her a lot of money.
But as for spiritual life... well, that goes without saying.
Chapter 314 Jiang Bai, I'll fight you to the death!
If Xia Yiyi had a stable, happy, and healthy mental life, she wouldn't be the way she is today.
Jiang Bai understood these words, but he didn't say anything more.
"I'm going to sleep. Where is your guest room?"
Stretching, Jiang Bai realized it was already late at night. He had to go to school early the next morning, so he decided to go to bed early.
"Guest room? I don't have a guest room! There's only one bed!" Xia Yiyi was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile.
"How am I supposed to sleep on one bed? You're not going to make me sleep on the sofa, are you?" Jiang Bai's forehead was covered in black lines.
Sleeping on the sofa isn't impossible, but the problem is that the sofas in Xia Yiyi's house are all separate, four individual sofas, each with armrests, so they can't be connected at all. The only slightly larger one is the one in the center of the living room facing the TV.
It's fine for two people to sit in, but as for sleeping...
It's only one meter wide; how is Jiang Bai, a tall young man of 1.8 meters, supposed to sleep?
"How could that be! Teacher, of course you sleep in the bed!" Xia Yiyi quickly replied.
"And what about you?"
"I'll sleep in the bed too!"
Jiang Bai was speechless. He wanted to leave, but he was afraid that the little girl had been traumatized today and that if he left, she might run away again. After thinking about it, Jiang Bai decided not to do so.
"Don't do anything reckless!"
Jiang Bai glared at Xia Yiyi, then went inside to sleep, fully clothed.
He acted as if Jiang Bai was a woman and Xia Yiyi was a man, yet he was afraid of being bullied?
"OK!"
Xia Yiyi cheered and went inside, completely ignoring Jiang Bai's tone.
Xia Yiyi got a blanket for Jiang Bai and lay down next to him.
Fortunately, her bed was big enough, a standard double bed two meters wide, so it wasn't crowded for two people to sleep in.
But just as Jiang Bai was about to go to sleep, Xia Yiyi caused another problem.
The little girl lay down next to Jiang Bai, and before the blanket was even properly covering her, she reached into her clothes and a moment later, threw a black bra directly onto Jiang Bai.
Before Jiang Bai could get angry, Xia Yiyi, who was already under the covers, took off her coat.
Jiang Bai could vaguely see the smooth, bare shoulders, which made him unconsciously swallow.
"What are you doing!" Jiang Bai said angrily.
"Go to sleep, teacher. What are you thinking about? Don't you take off your clothes when you sleep?" Xia Yiyi blinked and said mischievously to Jiang Bai.
One sentence left Jiang Bai speechless.
He turned to one side and went to sleep.
At night, Jiang Bai found a soft body snuggling into his bed, but this time he didn't stop her. He closed his eyes and went to sleep, letting her hug him without intervening.
However, Xia Yiyi did not make any further moves and simply fell asleep while clinging to Jiang Bai.
The next morning, Jiang Bai woke up early and felt the softness behind him. He took a deep breath, suppressed his morning trembling, and hurriedly got out of bed.
He woke the groggy Xia Yiyi in a bad mood, threw her his clothes at her, told her to get up, and then walked out on his own.
After a quick wash, rinsing her mouth and washing her face, Xia Yiyi walked into the bathroom in a daze, her eyes half-closed as if she hadn't woken up yet. She went straight in and started to take off her pants.
Startled, Jiang Bai quickly dodged away, followed by a burst of silvery laughter.
After lunch, Jiang Bai rode his bicycle with Xia Yiyi on the back, heading towards the school. They attracted many strange looks in the neighborhood, and when they arrived at the school gate, many people stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.
They weren't familiar with Jiang Bai; apart from the students in Class 6 of the second year, very few people recognized him.
Xia Yiyi is a celebrity at No. 56 Middle School.
One of the two school beauties, she skips classes dozens of times a year, asks for leave every day, and still manages to get second place in the grade. She is a topic queen and there are few people in No. 56 Middle School who don't know Xia Yiyi.
At this moment, Jiang Bai was riding his bicycle with her on the back. Everyone was surprised to see Xia Yiyi's happy face with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
Xia Yiyi wasn't exactly aloof at school, but she wasn't always friendly to everyone either.
In fact, Xia Yiyi's temper is not good at all. She is somewhat rebellious and flamboyant, and doesn't get along with many people. Otherwise, she wouldn't have no friends at school.
This current appearance has shocked countless people.
With that blissful smile on her face, everyone felt that Jiang Bai and she were not normal. Many male students turned their murderous eyes on Jiang Bai, wishing they could drag him down and beat him up, and then take the beautiful school beauty Xia Yiyi with them.
However, among the many murderous gazes, one came from a girl, whose target was not Jiang Bai, but Xia Yiyi.
Zhu Xinxin, who happened to be on her way to school with her friends, was staring at Xia Yiyi, who was wrapped around Jiang Bai's waist and had a bright smile on her face, with a gaze that could tear Xia Yiyi to pieces dozens of times.
She felt that Xia Yiyi had taken away her most precious thing!
This made Zhu Xinxin feel very uncomfortable.
In fact, she has always been very clear about her own position: Jiang Bai's little lover. Right now, she's his little lover, but if Jiang Bai has a girlfriend or wife in the future, she'll be his mistress or mistress.
Zhu Xinxin never felt any resistance to this.
But the premise is that the woman Jiang Bai finds cannot be Xia Yiyi, who is the same age as her and with whom she has a very bad relationship!
In Zhu Xinxin's eyes, Xia Yiyi, this restless and crazy girl, is not good enough for Jiang Bai at all!
But Jiang Bai and Xia Yiyi are destined never to know these things.
Perhaps because Jiang Bai was in a rather awkward situation, he asked Xia Yiyi to get out of the car when they arrived near the school, but she stubbornly refused to get out, leaving Jiang Bai with no choice but to bring her along.
Upon arriving at the school, he was met with countless strange looks. Feeling extremely embarrassed, he naturally wanted to get inside as quickly as possible and get Xia Yiyi off the bus.
There's no time to worry about all that.
Xia Yiyi, on the other hand, was immersed in her own happiness. She was never one to care much about other people's opinions or to be unconventional, and now she paid even less attention to those surprised looks. She just wanted to enjoy this pleasant time.
After entering the school and sending Xia Yiyi to class, Jiang Bai had just stepped into his office when there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and Yang Degong, the director of academic affairs, walked in.
"Is there something you need, Director?"
Jiang Bai had been at the school for several days, and apart from accompanying him on his first day to take up his post, he hadn't seen Director Yang again.
It's so early in the morning, I wonder what he's doing here.
"Um… Ms. Jiang, well… I know you're a substitute teacher, not a teacher at our school, but… sometimes you have to be careful. Xia Yiyi has a reputation at the school, and you're a teacher. It's a bit inappropriate for you two to get up so early in the morning to do this."
"Of course, I'm not interfering in your private life. I like pretty girls, you know. I was young once too, so I know what young people like you do."
"But you know... it's never good for this kind of thing to get out, so... could you be a little more careful in the future? Of course... I'm just reminding you, you don't have to listen if you don't want to, I don't mean anything by it..."
Yang Degong stammered, evasive, and shyly explained his purpose, leaving Jiang Bai speechless.
So this person knew what had just happened and had already assumed that he and Xia Yiyi were having an affair, so he came to warn him.
However, I didn't dare to say it too clearly, for fear of offending myself, so I came up with this shy and hesitant passage.
Jiang Bai was speechless. Just as he was about to explain, Yang Degong patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder and left. Before leaving, he gave Jiang Bai a "I understand you" look, leaving Jiang Bai feeling helpless.
Just as Yang Degong left, the door was knocked open again, and a timid figure appeared in front of Jiang Bai. Zhu Xinxin, wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack, poked her head in, and only walked in after seeing that no one else was there.
When she reached Jiang Bai, she hesitated to speak, looking at him pitifully with her big, watery eyes fixed on him.
"What do you want? Do you want to ask me what my relationship with Xia Yiyi is, and why I brought her to school so early in the morning?"
Jiang Bai knew exactly what Zhu Xinxin was thinking without even trying, and said this in an annoyed tone.
After saying that, he picked up the teacup to drink tea, only to find that the teacup was empty. Just as he was about to get up, Zhu Xinxin obediently handed her pink teacup with cartoon patterns to Jiang Bai.
He then opened the teacup and blew on it twice.
Jiang Bai was speechless at this.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Jiang Bai said irritably, "It's one thing for others to have wild thoughts, but you have to have them too. If I were really that kind of person, would I have left you alone for so long?"
"Go back to class. Why are you thinking about so many trivial things instead of focusing on your studies? There's nothing between us. I just helped her out yesterday and brought this over for her today."
These words reassured Zhu Xinxin. Her biggest fear when she came was that Jiang Bai would tell her what had happened between her and Xia Yiyi. She stuck out her pink tongue and muttered, "I'm not afraid of you, I'm just afraid that vixen will seduce you."
Watching Zhu Xinxin's departing figure, Jiang Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
I don't know where Zhu Xinxin and Xia Yiyi got such a big conflict from.
Just as Zhu Xinxin left, the office door was opened again, but this time it was kicked open by someone.
"Jiang Bai! If you dare touch Yiyi, I'll fight you to the death!"
The moment the door was kicked open, Wan Yong stormed in, his face contorted with rage, carrying a steel pipe he'd somehow found.
Upon seeing Jiang Bai, they swung their weapons at Jiang Bai's head.
With a loud thud, the steel pipe hit the ground, along with a figure.
Before Wan Yong could even get close to Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai kicked him to the ground without any hesitation.
"You've got some nerve, attacking a teacher with a weapon. Tell me, what happened?"
Jiang Bai walked over, first closing the door and dispersing the surprised students at the door, then squatting down next to Wan Yong, who couldn't get up, grabbing his hair and asking him teasingly.
Chapter 315 The Villain Accuses First
"Jiang Bai, you bastard!"
Instead of Wan Yong's explanation, he was met with a barrage of insults.
Jiang Bai didn't seem to mind, and said with a smile, "Judging from your tone, you like Xia Yiyi? Then why don't you pursue her?"
One sentence made Wan Yong's face, which was already slightly red from the pain, turn completely red, and he stubbornly held back from saying a word.
"Sigh, young man... Why didn't you say you liked Xia Yiyi sooner? Logically speaking, you've been childhood sweethearts for so many years, you might have had a chance if you had confessed earlier. Why didn't you say so?" Jiang Bai continued to tease.
"None of your business!" Wan Yong replied coldly.
Jiang Bai nodded very seriously at Wan Yong's words, and then said something that almost drove Wan Yong crazy: "Yes, logically speaking, it has nothing to do with me, but that was before. Sigh, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said you liked Xia Yiyi earlier, the teacher wouldn't have stayed at her house last night."
"What did you say! I'll fight you to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Yong flew into a rage. Despite the pain, he stood up, grabbed Jiang Bai by the collar, and was about to throw a punch.
Just then, the door was opened again, and Xia Yiyi's voice rang out: "Wan Yong, stop right there! What are you doing!"
One sentence made Wan Yong stop what he was doing and freeze in place. He glanced at Xia Yiyi, who had entered and closed the door immediately, and said hesitantly, with a mixture of resentment and anger, "Yiyi, this bastard bullied you, I...I..."
He wanted to say something like "I'll get revenge for you," but the words wouldn't come out. Xia Yiyi's words plunged him into an icy abyss: "What business is it of yours whether he bullies me or not! I'm the one who let the teacher stay at my house, and I even want to sleep with him. Is it any of your business?"
These words were undoubtedly extremely hurtful; Xia Yiyi is a typical person with a sharp tongue.
One sentence made Wan Yong's face turn pale. He looked at Xia Yiyi, then at Jiang Bai, his lips trembling for a moment, but he couldn't say a word.
"Why are you so harsh, girl? Look what you've done to this kid. Young man, there's nothing wrong with liking you, what are you doing here? Is there something you need? It's not because of this kid, is it?"
Jiang Bai came out with a serious expression and asked Xia Yiyi in a gentle voice.
"No, it's because... well, never mind, teacher, wait a minute, I'll talk to you later. I'll go back now." Xia Yiyi quickly explained, trying to distance herself from Wan Yong.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Jiang Bai could roughly understand that this girl had come because of Zhu Xinxin. He hadn't expected that it wasn't just Zhu Xinxin who was hostile towards Xia Yiyi.
Xia Yiyi and Zhu Xinxin's relationship wasn't much better either.
She probably didn't expect to see Wan Yong like this as soon as she arrived, so she just blurted out that comment to him.
Although Xia Yiyi had been classmates with Wan Yong for many years, she estimated that Wan Yong was just a nobody. Apart from having known him for a long time, he was no different from any other passerby.
"Alright, alright, let's go back. We can talk about it later. By the way, be more tactful when you talk to people in the future. I've noticed that you're too blunt with your words."
Jiang Bai waved lazily for Xia Yiyi to leave, but before leaving, he didn't forget to tell her these things.
"oh."
Xia Yiyi nodded as if she understood, then turned and left. Whether she actually listened to Jiang Bai or not, only heaven knows.
After Xia Yiyi left, Wan Yong still stared blankly in the direction she had gone.
Jiang Bai was beside him, patted his shoulder and whispered, "Alright, alright, don't be sad, these kinds of things happen all the time."
"Who hasn't had a sweet first love? Don't dwell on this issue; there are plenty of fish in the sea, don't you think?"
One sentence made Wan Yong's expression darken. He nodded silently, as if possessed. He didn't know if it was because of Jiang Bai's words or because Xia Yiyi's words had been too shocking, but he nodded anyway.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Bai continued to speak to Wan Yong, who had slightly regained his senses: "Well, let's not talk about these romantic relationships between men and women for now, let's talk about something more serious."
"What is it?" Wan Yong looked up blankly.
"It's nothing. Given that you just attacked a teacher with a weapon, insulted me as your homeroom teacher, and also owe me five thousand yuan, I've decided to meet with your parents."
After saying that, he took out his phone and casually tossed it on the table: "Look, are you going to make the call yourself, or should I?"
One sentence turned Wan Yong's face a deep purplish-red, and he almost growled through gritted teeth, "Jiang Bai!!"
"Don't call me Jiang Bai, calling me Dad won't help! Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"
Jiang Bai said lazily, waving his hand with a look of impatience on his face.
"I won't fight!" Wan Yongqi said valiantly.
He was genuinely afraid that Jiang Bai would tell his family about this, as none of the three things he mentioned were good news.
"If you won't hit me, I will."
Jiang Bai didn't even consult Wan Yong. Seeing that he wasn't going to call, he picked up the phone directly. Wan Yong's home phone number was in the teacher's directory, so it wouldn't be difficult for Jiang Bai to find his parents.
"You dare!" Wan Yong threatened.
Faced with Wan Yong's threat, Jiang Bai directly dialed Wan Yong's mother's number.
Wan Yong tried to grab the phone, but Jiang Bai easily subdued him with one hand, pinning him to the table. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Jiang Bai made a phone call but couldn't get through. A moment later, he received a text message saying that they were in a meeting. Jiang Bai replied to the other party, saying that he was a teacher and asked them to come to the school today to talk about Wan Yong's problem.
Wan Yong's mother readily agreed, and only then did Jiang Bai release Wan Yong.
Enraged, Wan Yong jumped over to fight Jiang Bai again, but the difference in strength rendered his efforts futile. He was thoroughly beaten and left bloodied and mangled by Jiang Bai. In the end, he wisely gave up resisting and obediently returned to the classroom.
After Wan Yong left, Jiang Bai, who was sitting with his legs crossed, played on the computer in his office. He went to class an hour later. After class, he returned to his office and was surprised to find that he had already finished his class for the day. Just as he was about to leave, he was blocked by someone.
The person blocking his way was a woman, or more precisely, a young woman in her thirties, with a baby face, wearing a black top and sky-blue jeans, who looked extremely beautiful.
She wasn't very tall, only about 1.6 meters. What was most striking about her, besides her extremely youthful baby face, was her large, mountain-like bulge in her chest.
Jiang Bai was about to go out, and she was about to come in. They bumped into each other without noticing, and because Jiang Bai was not paying attention, the force was so great that she was knocked down in an instant.
Jiang Bai also reacted quickly enough to pick up the other person just before they landed, thus preventing them from having a close collision with the cold ground.
However, instead of colliding with the ground, it made a solid impact with Jiang Bai's firm chest, instantly causing Jiang Bai's mind to wander.
"Ahem, well... excuse me."
He quickly helped the other person up, and seeing the other person's slightly flushed face, Jiang Bai coughed awkwardly twice and said this.
"N-nothing..." the other person said, their face flushed.
Then, as if remembering something, she asked Jiang Bai in a low voice, "Excuse me, is this Teacher Jiang's office?"
"I am Jiang Bai. You're looking for me?" Jiang Bai was taken aback, not remembering that he knew the young woman in front of him.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang, I'm Wan Yong's mother, Wan Yingying. I'm so sorry, my son Wan Yong has caused you so much trouble..."
The young woman quickly apologized to Jiang Bai, bowing repeatedly as she spoke.
Jiang Bai quickly helped her up, and looked at the young woman in front of him with some surprise, asking uncertainly, "You...are you really Wan Yong's mother?"
It's no wonder he was so suspicious. Wan Yong is already seventeen. According to Jiang Bai's thinking, his mother should be at least around forty. But the person in front of him looks only twenty-four or twenty-five at first glance, and only around thirty at closer inspection.
It was quite different from what Jiang Bai had imagined Wan Yong's mother to be.
One sentence made Wan Yingying blush slightly: "I... I was only fifteen when I got pregnant with Wan Yong, so I look a little young."
She wouldn't normally say these things, but since it involved her son and his teacher, Wan Yingying felt she needed to explain clearly, fearing that Jiang Bai might misunderstand.
"I see... Alright, let's go inside and sit down. I want to talk to you about this kid, Wan Yong."
Jiang Bai nodded and said this, then invited the person into his office.
As soon as he entered, Wan Yingying hurriedly apologized to Jiang Bai again, making Jiang Bai feel a little embarrassed. Thinking about how he had beaten Wan Yong black and blue before, Jiang Bai felt awkward.
I wonder if Wan Yingying will still be so polite to me after seeing her son's face, which is swollen like a pig's head.
However, Jiang Bai was very familiar with the kind of thing where the guilty party accuses the innocent first. He said, "Wan Yong is a disobedient kid. He often hangs out with some shady people outside the school and is always getting into fights. He was beaten up today and his face was bruised and swollen, which was quite pitiful. I said a few words to him when I saw him like that, but I didn't expect him to fight back... I had no choice but to call you over."
One sentence made Wan Yingying's face turn pale, and she could hardly sit still. She was clearly in a daze. If Jiang Bai hadn't been sitting opposite her, she probably would have already gone to find Wan Yong.
"Judging from your expression, you seem to care about him a lot. However, you should talk to his father about this. You can't always let him do as he pleases. He'll suffer in the future. Don't worry now. He's fine. It's just some minor injuries. Let's clarify his situation first, and then you can see him for a while."
Jiang Bai's words reassured Wan Yingying slightly, but her face flushed again, probably because Wan Yong's behavior made her feel embarrassed.
"This... I will educate him properly when I get back. I just hope the teacher can understand that his father died early, and Wan Yong was in a car accident before he was even born. I was young at the time and didn't know how to take care of children at all, so I spoiled him. If he does anything wrong, please don't mind."
Wan Yingying quickly apologized to Jiang Bai, tears streaming down her face as she spoke, which made Jiang Bai feel a little embarrassed.
