Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1623 - 1620: The Gentle Are Bullied, the Meek Are Ridden
"The Goddess is heading towards the first class of the Biology department." The boys’ gazes continued to follow Xiao Manxuan’s graceful figure.
When Xiao Manxuan stopped in front of Lin Tian, there was a chorus of wails around them, since the Goddess wasn’t looking for them.
"Seeing you run so hard, this is for you." Xiao Manxuan took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Lin Tian.
Was I running hard? Not really, right? Lin Tian honestly couldn’t figure out how his leisurely jogging could be considered as running hard. He didn’t take the handkerchief: "Uh, I’m not sweating, I don’t need it." What’s the joke here? A grown man using a handkerchief would be laughed at.
The surrounding boys immediately gave angry looks. How dare he refuse the Goddess’s handkerchief—that’s unforgivable. Some of them were shouting in their hearts, wasting such a precious gift, if you don’t want it, give it to me.
"Take it, it won’t bite you." Xiao Manxuan frowned beautifully, shoved the handkerchief into Lin Tian’s hand without objection.
Lin Tian had no choice but to take it, laughing as he said, "You’re doing it on purpose, sincerely making me the public enemy."
Xiao Manxuan blinked her big, watery eyes, said pitifully, "I’m just a weak woman, shouldn’t you help me? Besides, it doesn’t matter if you’re a public enemy."
This cunning little girl, Lin Tian praised internally, while he rolled up the handkerchief in his hand, brought it to his nose and sniffed it lightly, chuckling, "It smells so good, I can’t bear to use it, I must treasure it carefully." He said as he genuinely stored it in his pocket.
These unabashed words and actions made Xiao Manxuan’s pretty face turn a bit red. She knew Lin Tian was doing it on purpose, and she cursed him "rascal" in her heart, but could only glare at him fiercely.
The students from the first class of the Biology department were already stunned, whether boys or girls, especially He Xiaofei and Mu Binglan, their eyes wide open, wondering in their hearts how Lin Tian could be so familiar with the newly crowned campus beauty from the Medical department?
"Lin Tian, you are friends with this classmate? I remember now, she’s the guqin player; I take back my previous words, with her looks and influence, she can absolutely make it into the top ten campus beauties list." He Xiaofei was both curious and astonished.
"Xiao Manxuan, my friend." Lin Tian introduced briefly.
"Hello, I’m He Xiaofei." He Xiaofei reached out her hand and introduced herself generously.
Xiao Manxuan shook her hand and smiled, "Sister Xiaofei, you’re so beautiful. Seeing your demeanor, I have a feeling you’re like Zhuge Liang of women."
This compliment made He Xiaofei feel comfortable inside, but she was also surprised at the sharp insight of the newly crowned campus beauty Goddess, able to see through each other’s strengths at a first meeting.
"Mu Binglan." Mu Binglan had no intention of shaking hands, presented herself like a cool sister, even her self-introduction was done sparingly.
Xiao Manxuan scrutinized Mu Binglan carefully, then laughed, "Sister Mu, you have a heroic spirit. If this were ancient times, you’d definitely be a female general, going to battle like Mu Guiying or Hua Mulan, defending the country, showing that women are no weaker than men."
Even the cool sister Mu Binglan couldn’t help but let her lips move a bit, revealing a slight smile upon hearing this.
Lin Tian was amazed by the Second Miss’s emotional intelligence, truly, it’s not just average; she gained good favor in just a few words, even Mu Binglan, who usually played the cold cool face, was won over by Xiao Manxuan. Her words really hit the nail on the head.
She truly likens herself to ancient figures like Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan, and she firmly believes that in ancient times, she could become a female general.
This astonishing insight made Lin Tian even suspect that Xiao Manxuan might have some special ability to see through others’ thoughts.
"I...I am..." Qiao Xiaoyi became nervous upon seeing a beauty, speaking hesitantly.
Xiao Manxuan chimed in, "I remember you; we met on the high-speed train, and your flute playing was quite good."
Qiao Xiaoyi shyly smiled and said, "Compared to Mr. Xiao’s guqin, my flute is insignificant."
"I didn’t expect Mr. Xiao to have so many friends in the Biology department." Just as everyone was talking and laughing, an untimely remark broke in.
Several people walked over from outside the track, and upon seeing the foremost person, He Xiaofei and Mu Binglan both frowned; it was the friend of the external male students who fought for seats with them.
"Zhao Weitao, those seniors just now, you called them, didn’t you?" Lin Tian said calmly, one of the newcomers was Zhao Weitao, the persistent troublemaker.
Zhao Weitao glanced at Lin Tian and said with a laugh, "How was it? Were the seniors enthusiastic?" Showing a gloating expression.
Lin Tian sneered, "Not really, perhaps you’ve watched too much TV. Getting people to bring messages was childish and stupid."
After being repeatedly called stupid by Lin Tian, even a clay figure would have a temper, Zhao Weitao grimly replied, "Who’s stupid, let’s meet on the field."
"Not interested." Without a thought, Lin Tian immediately refused.
"Coward." Zhao Weitao chuckled coldly, then provocatively said to the rest of the Biology department, "Since he’s afraid to compete, any of you can, given how the Biology department is female-dominated."
"What’s with the arrogance, looking down on women? I alone am enough; pick any event you like." Mu Binglan, with a fiery temper, could no longer hold it in.
"Hehe, the Biology department really depends on women. I envy you, not having to do anything, just hiding behind women." Zhao Weitao’s companion taunted, face full of disdain.
"This classmate, gender equality is necessary. There’s no need to use such disparaging words about women; it shows poor upbringing." Qiao Xiaoyi attempted to reason.
But the opponent sneered coldly, "I remember you, Qiao Xiaoyi. What do the girls call you again? Oh, right, Xiaoqiao. Haha, Xiaoqiao, the Two Qiaos locked in the Spring, I think you’re better suited for Thailand; when you come back as a real woman, then you can rightfully play with the girls."
"Bastard!" Outsiders gossiping about Qiao Xiaoyi made Mu Binglan furious, pushing the opponent aside. The male student gave a disdainful smile, blocking Mu Binglan with his arm.
The two arm-blocked each other, like ancient gladiators, competing their strength.
"What are you gathered here for, disperse now." Instructor Zhuang came over and scolded.
"Instructor, we were just trying our strength, promoting progress and exchanging experiences with each other." Zhao Weitao turned the provocation into a legitimate contest with a righteous demeanor.
Suddenly, the two arm-blocked competitors exerted their strength and both stepped back, but the male student had to retreat several steps. Mu Binglan’s strength was not to be underestimated.
Mu Binglan was full of anger, about to say they were provoking, but Lin Tian spoke beforehand, "Instructor, we were just competing."
"You...coward." Hearing Lin Tian unexpectedly cover for Zhao Weitao and his group, Mu Binglan was extremely annoyed.
Lin Tian didn’t mind, continued to say, "Instructor, Zhao Weitao also suggested we have a contest, so why not take advantage of everyone’s break and compete under everyone’s gazes."
"Lin Tian, didn’t you disdain competing with him?" Xiao Manxuan whispered.
Lin Tian squinted slightly, "I can’t stand honest people being bullied!"
