Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 362 - 360: Taking Wang Doudou for Amusement
"Miss, this must be hard on you."
The woman beside Wang Doudou froze for a moment. Young Master Wang just mocked him, so why is he showing me sympathy? What’s the logic in that?
"Having to stand next to someone who stinks while pretending to be happy about it... that can’t be easy, can it? I, for one, couldn’t do it," Xue Yang said, glancing at Wang Doudou before waving a hand through the air in front of him. "If someone stinks, I generally point it out on the spot. Young Master Wang, how about you go home and take a shower first? Otherwise, I’m afraid this lady won’t be able to stand it."
It might have been a psychological suggestion, but after Xue Yang finished speaking, the woman really did think that Young Master Wang smelled awful. She subconsciously edged away from him.
Wang Doudou’s face darkened instantly. "Xue Yang, let’s see who’s going to protect you today." With that, he clenched his fist and swung it at Xue Yang.
Xue Yang deftly dodged to the side, and Wang Doudou’s punch met only air.
"Young Master Wang, gentlemen use their words, not their fists."
Missing his punch only made Wang Doudou more furious. He swung his fists again, snarling as he charged at Xue Yang.
Their commotion quickly attracted the attention of the other shoppers in the mall. Xue Yang continued to dodge, putting more and more distance between himself and the Dongfang Jade store. It would be better if Xiao Xi didn’t find out about this.
Once he had backed away to a suitable distance, Xue Yang stopped retreating. "Young Master Wang, if you don’t stop now, I’m going to have to fight back."
"Xue Yang, you coward! All you can do is dodge..."
The next second, with a loud BANG, Xue Yang sent Wang Doudou stumbling back several steps.
Xue Yang struck a martial arts pose. "Young Master Wang, I told you. If you didn’t stop, I would fight back."
Losing his mind, Wang Doudou charged at Xue Yang again, flailing wildly without any technique. This time, however, Xue Yang didn’t give him any ground.
A punch with his left, a punch with his right—before long, Wang Doudou’s handsome face was bruised and battered.
"Xue Yang, I’ll fight you to the death!"
Wang Doudou was the perfect example of someone who was all talk and no skill.
"Young Master Wang, please stop. I really don’t want to fight you," Xue Yang said aloud. Under his breath, however, he muttered, "Wang Doudou, how does it feel, sucking up to Miss Si? Not so good, is it?"
Wang Doudou was a despicable person. The best way to deal with him was to fight fire with fire.
Wang Doudou’s eyes widened as he stared at Xue Yang. "What did you just say?"
How did he know? Could he know Si Wen? Impossible. He only managed to connect with Si Wen because of his family’s influence; otherwise, there was no way he could have ever arranged a meeting. At best, Xue Yang was just some poor college freshman who happened to be a spokesperson for a clothing company. Wait a second. A spokesperson! Trendy Apparel Company. It suddenly dawned on Wang Doudou that Xue Yang might actually know Si Wen, because the Trendy Apparel Company belonged to her. An impossible thought suddenly surfaced in the depths of his mind. Could it be that Si Wen rejected him because of Xue Yang? Damn it!
"Young Master Wang, stop fighting!"
"Yeah, Young Master Wang, stop it! He’s clearly been going easy on you, but you just won’t let up. Young man, don’t be scared, we’ll all be your witnesses."
"That’s right, young man, you don’t need to be afraid."
The surrounding crowd started chiming in with their own words of persuasion.
Wang Doudou was speechless. Are these people blind? Am I not the one who’s bruised and battered all over?
However, it was obvious that continuing this fight would not be to his advantage. As for the woman who had been with him, she had bolted the moment the fight with Xue Yang started. When she wanted him to buy her things, she had called him "brother" ever so sweetly. But the moment trouble started, she ran faster than a rabbit.
Hmph. So much for women.
"Xue Yang, you just wait." After saying his piece, Wang Doudou pulled out his phone, ready to call for backup.
Knowing what he was planning, Xue Yang said nonchalantly, "Wang Doudou, do you know who is inside that store picking out jewelry right now?"
"I don’t give a damn who it is! You’re not getting away today!"
"If you don’t believe me, take two steps back and glance inside. Then you can decide if you still want to make that call. Of course, you don’t have to look. Just don’t blame me for not warning you when it all goes wrong."
Grumbling, Wang Doudou turned his head to look. Inside the store, he saw a stunningly beautiful woman in a pink plaid shirt, quietly selecting jewelry. Despite the commotion they were making, the woman inside seemed completely undisturbed, as serene as a fairy. If their corner of the mall was as noisy as a wet market, Dongfang Jade was a tranquil paradise. The contrast was striking.
The Young Miss! What is she doing here?!
With Lin Xi present, there was no way Wang Doudou would dare to cause any more trouble for Xue Yang. Teaching Xue Yang a lesson was a trivial matter, but disturbing the Young Miss while she was shopping was a mortal sin.
Watching Wang Doudou flee in disgrace, Xue Yang raised an eyebrow. Shopping with my girlfriend can be a bit dull, but having Wang Doudou around for a little excitement makes things much more interesting.
Seeing that Wang Doudou had left, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Xue Yang returned to Dongfang Jade just as Lin Xi was walking out.
"Xue Yang~"
Xue Yang smiled and asked, "Finished picking something out?"
"Yes, I’m done."
"I’ll go pay."
"No need, I already paid for it."
A sales associate came out with the packaged jewelry. Xue Yang nodded at her and took the bag. "Why didn’t you wait for me to pay?"
Lin Xi looped her arm through his. "Because this gift is for Auntie Zhong. Of course I couldn’t use your money."
Xue Yang was slightly startled. "It’s for my mom?"
The sales associate was also taken aback. A moment ago, I was thinking this guy had just ditched his girlfriend when it was time to pay. I never expected this to be the reason. So this is what mutual affection looks like?
"Yes. Auntie Zhong sent me so many tasty things, so I wanted to pick out a gift to give her later," Lin Xi explained.
"Alright." Xue Yang naturally took Lin Xi’s hand. "Are you hungry? Let’s go get something to eat."
"Okay."
Xue Yang led Lin Xi to a restaurant on the fourth floor called Ah Hui Barbecue.
"This barbecue place is pretty good. I’ve come here to eat a few times over the last couple of months when I’ve had a spare moment."
"Then I have to try it."
Lin Xi knew Xue Yang had been very busy recently and had no time to cook for himself, so eating out was the quickest option.
The two took a seat in a VIP booth and discussed what to order. Ten minutes later, the ingredients began to arrive.
Just as Xue Yang was about to pick up the tongs to start grilling, Lin Xi beat him to it.
"I’ll do it."
Xue Yang looked up at her, his expression clearly asking if she could handle it.
Feeling underestimated, Lin Xi pouted and said, "You’ll know once you try what I’ve grilled."
Lin Xi picked up the tongs and placed a slice of pork belly on the grill.
Xue Yang sat across from her, resting his chin on his hand as he watched. One person focused on grilling the meat, the other focused on watching the person grilling. The atmosphere between them was one of perfect harmony.
