Chapter 144: Chapter 0144: I Didn’t Make a Move (Third Update)_1
 

The school canteen really was crowded, and Ye Xiong had already done everything he could to keep a low profile, acting like a robot.

When Yang Xiaoqiao asked him to queue up, he went to queue up, and he didn’t talk out of turn during the entire process.

Yet, Yang Xiaoqiao’s radiance was too dazzling, and despite how low-profile he tried to be, countless gazes still shot towards him.

If looks could kill, Ye Xiong would have died over ten thousand times by now.

“Xiaoqiao, not only is your cousin handsome, but he’s also so obedient. It’s so hard to find a guy like that! It’s just a pity he’s a pauper with no money, otherwise he’d have ensnared who knows how many young girls!” Zhang Xiaoyan said with regret.

Flippantly throwing out several hundred thousand dollars, and he still has no money?

Yang Xiaoqiao was rendered speechless too, only able to blame this guy for being too good at pretending.

Right at that moment, trouble arose.

A tall, big, and completely swarthy athlete suddenly charged through the crowd, patted Ye Xiong on the shoulder, and shouted angrily, “Getting meals for three people by yourself, what do you mean by that, do you know how many people are queuing?”

Upon hearing Luo Gang’s words, nearly half of the students in the canteen looked over.

“Everyone knows Luo Gang likes Yang Xiaoqiao, and he’s been rejected by her before. This guy dares to hit on Yang Xiaoqiao, he’s really courting death.”

“Luo Gang is a track and field athlete, the king of speed in the 100 meters, annihilating this kid would just take moments.”

“Now we’ve got a good show to watch.”

The people around all wore the expression of those who were there to enjoy the spectacle.

At 1.78 meters, Ye Xiong was already considered tall, but standing in front of the nearly 1.9-meter-tall Luo Gang, he was still a head shorter, and their comparative fighting strength was clear at a glance from their physiques.

“There was a guy up front holding four food containers. You should go settle with him first!” Ye Xiong whispered.

“So cowardly after just one shout, how spineless.”

“Exactly, no idea how Yang Xiaoqiao could fall for him.”

“Coward…”

All the looks coming from around were full of contempt.

“Xiaoqiao, your cousin really lacks the assertiveness of a man!” Having initially had a good impression of Ye Xiong, Zhang Xiaoyan’s regard for him plummeted right then.

After all, which girl wouldn’t like her boyfriend to be as mightily and domineeringly kicking butt like King Kong on top of a skyscraper shooting down planes?

This guy was indeed good at acting!

Yang Xiaoqiao looked down on him immensely, thinking that a man who could have a tough guy like Zhao Hu, mixed up in the underworld for over ten years, calling him “Brother Xiong” non-stop, would be a weakling, now that really would be eerie.

Seeing Ye Xiong’s defeated stance, Luo Gang’s arrogance intensified as he thundered, “I warn you, dare to get meals for three and hold up everyone’s time, I’ll throw you out.”

“Auntie, can you only get one meal if you queue up alone?” Ye Xiong asked.

The auntie serving meals, sweating profusely and seemingly in fear of Luo Gang as well, said impatiently, “You’re only allowed one, hurry up, what do you want?”

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, so Ye Xiong had no choice but to get just one meal first.

He passed over Yang Xiaoqiao’s meal bowl, got the meal ready, ran over to the table to give it to Yang Xiaoqiao, then said to Zhang Xiaoyan, “Wait a moment, I’ll queue up right now and get yours.”

Having said that, he prepared to run back to the line to queue up again.

“Stop.”

Zhang Xiaoyan was about to explode with rage, “How could you listen to Luo Gang’s nonsense? Who said one person can only get one meal box? Look.”

She pointed over, and indeed, in another line, several people were each getting food in several containers.

At that moment, Luo Gang laughed triumphantly, “And here I thought Yang Xiaoqiao had high standards, turns out she chose such a pretty boy wimp. No money, no guts, just like a soft egg.”

Yang Xiaoqiao hadn’t wanted to start trouble, but with the other party openly and specifically picking on her, if she didn’t fight back, wouldn’t that be too easy to push around?

“Luo Gang, after being rejected by me you resort to insults, what kind of quality is that?” Yang Xiaoqiao stood up abruptly.

“With you, Yang Xiaoqiao, prancing around in the same few ragged clothes every day, maintaining that cold face pretending to be lofty, as if I, Luo Gang, would take a liking to you, dream on,” Luo Gang retorted loudly.

If he couldn’t have her, then stepping her down was Luo Gang’s usual style.

“You’re shameless, vulgar…” Yang Xiaoqiao was so angry she couldn’t speak.

“Of course what’s below me will flow, right into what’s below you,” Luo Gang said shamelessly.

Such suggestive jokes made all the surrounding classmates laugh, the male students’ gazes towards Yang Xiaoqiao all carried a certain lewdness.

Yang Xiaoqiao’s face turned pale with anger, her eyes looking at Ye Xiong, wondering what he would do.

This was the moment he should have stood up for her.

But who knew Ye Xiong acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, continuing to line up for his meal.

“Your cousin is such a wimp,” Zhang Xiaoyan’s impression of Ye Xiong plummeted to rock bottom.

His cousin was being bullied like this, and he said nothing, wasn’t he ashamed?

The people around also felt the same, their gazes landing on Ye Xiong were full of contempt.

Yang Xiaoqiao actually chose such a loser to be her boyfriend, she must be blind.

Just at this moment, it was Luo Gang’s turn to get his meal, and he pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, loudly declaring, “Give me six meal boxes, to go.”

What the hell, six meal boxes?

Just now he had insulted Ye Xiong, not letting him get extra meal boxes, yet he was getting six all at once himself, how shamelessly hypocritical, like a slap in the face!

Ye Xiong’s face immediately turned green.

Dammit, this was bullying to the extreme!

He walked over to Luo Gang and said, “Fellow student, just now you said, everyone in line should only get a meal for one person.”

“That’s right, I am getting a meal for just one person, these six meal boxes are all for me,” Luo Gang laughed proudly, as if he wanted to applaud his own humor.

“Can you eat that much by yourself?”

“Whether I can or not is none of your damn business.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Xiong suddenly jumped onto the food-serving table.

The people around them stared at him as if they’d seen a ghost, not understanding what this loser was thinking.

Had he been driven mad by Luo Gang’s words?

Just then, something astonishing happened.

Ye Xiong kicked over the rice boxes set on the table and slammed one forcefully onto Luo Gang’s face.

The entire place went silent!

Zhang Xiaoyan was frozen, and even the aunt serving the meals stopped in her tracks.

Nobody expected that the guy who had been as passive as a turtle just moments ago would smash a meal box onto Luo Gang’s face.

Yang Xiaoqiao was also stunned, her mind replaying the instructions she had given him when they had entered the cafeteria.

“Don’t talk nonsense, and don’t get physical.”

This guy really hadn’t used his hands, just his feet.

The piping hot rice stuck to Luo Gang’s face, causing him so much pain that he began to scream, frantically trying to wipe the rice off his face, cursing loudly, “I’ll be damned…”

Before he could finish, the second meal box was slammed onto his face.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth.

Even as Luo Gang scurried away from the crowd, the meal boxes kicked by Ye Xiong landed accurately on his head.

With such precision in kicking meal boxes, even a top football striker would be left in the dust.

Luo Gang had no choice but to rush out of the cafeteria, leaving in utter disarray.

The entire room of students stood there as if petrified.
