16: Chapter 16: Scaring Qian Bing into Fainting 16: Chapter 16: Scaring Qian Bing into Fainting The final evening self-study bell finally rang.
Chen Hai, who had already returned to his true self, slowly stood up and started walking toward the classroom exit.
He walked unhurriedly—his steps were calm, and he looked completely composed.
Wait a minute, wait a minute!”
Just as he reached the bottom of the teaching building, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly reached his ears.
The one calling Chen Hai was a rather pretty girl.
This girl, named Yang Yue, was also a classmate in their class.
However, classmate or not, Chen Hai wasn’t close to her—they were merely acquaintances.
“Are you looking for me?
Is there something you need?”
Turning around, Chen Hai looked at Yang Yue in front of him and smiled as he spoke.
“Yes!” Yang Yue gently nodded her head.
I need to talk to you about something!” she said, her face blushing slightly.
After a brief pause, she continued, “I don’t know if you’re free right now?
Could you accompany me for a walk outside the school?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Yue seemed somewhat embarrassed, her pretty face blushing even more.
With her head bowed low, she turned and started walking toward the school gate.
Using this old trick on me?”
“Is this the way Qian Bing and the others lure me out of school?
Even with three cobblers equaling a Zhuge Liang, in my opinion, it should be ‘Brother Pig Liang’ instead!”
Chen Hai scoffed internally, but outwardly, he remained composed.
Taking advantage of the moment Yang Yue turned around, he made a face of disdain.
Following the lifestyle he had adopted over the past few days, he would definitely go back to the dormitory area at this time and not step out of the school gate.
Previously, in the small garden in front of the teaching building, Qian Bing and his group hadn’t figured anything out by the time they finished their cigarette, and they scattered when the bell for class rang.
Chen Hai only knew that these guys wanted to lure him off-campus, but he had no idea what method they would use!
At this moment, Yang Yue’s appearance must be related to them.
“Inviting me to take a walk outside the school?
She’s kidding, right?”
“When did I become so charming that girls would throw themselves at me?”
“Am I, Chen Hai, such a superficial person that I’d be led by the nose by any girl who asks me out?”
Chen Hai sneered internally.
Although he had seen through Yang Yue’s intentions at a glance, he did not refuse her invitation.
After all, he wanted to cut through the chaos and settle matters with Qian Bing, Zhang Yong, and others once and for all!
Yang Yue, who had run ahead, seemed worried Chen Hai wouldn’t fall for it, so she slowed down and looked back.
Seeing Chen Hai walking unhurriedly behind her, heading toward the school gate, she visibly relaxed.
At this time, right after evening self-study, the school gate was bustling with people.
Mixed in with the crowd, Chen Hai and Yang Yue walked briskly towards the outside of the school.
Exiting the school gate, Yang Yue immediately turned onto the road on the left.
As for where Yang Yue was taking him, Chen Hai simply couldn’t be bothered to ask more.
He had already determined that Yang Yue would definitely not want to truly go on a date with him.
He didn’t ask, and naturally, Yang Yue wouldn’t say anything either.
They had not walked far when Qian Bing and the others suddenly emerged from the shadows on the side of the road, completely surrounding Chen Hai.
Meanwhile, Yang Yue was wrapped in the arms of a student in sportswear among Qian Bing’s group.
Their intimacy made it clear that their relationship was no ordinary one.
“Qian Bing, using the old ‘beauty trick’ to lure me out, what exactly do you want, just say it!” Chen Hai’s gaze swept across the faces in front of him, finally resting on Qian Bing.
“What are you up to?”
With a strange laugh, Qian Bing retorted, “I told you before, as soon as you step out of the school, I’ll beat you every time I see you, what else could I do!”
“Brother Bing, why waste words with this kid, let’s just start.”
Among them, Zhang Yong undoubtedly hated Chen Hai the most.
At this moment, this guy glared at Chen Hai with a resentment-filled face, holding in his hand a brick he had found somewhere.
“Qian Bing, remember what I told you?
I told you not to provoke me, or else you’d face consequences you couldn’t bear!”
“Do you know why I would still come out with Yang Yue despite knowing it’s a trap?”
“Because I want to study well, I want to settle everything between us once and for all!” Chen Hai glanced disdainfully at Zhang Yong, not paying him much attention and instead turned his gaze toward Qian Bing, speaking indifferently.
Opposite him, Qian Bing pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep inhale.
Immediately following this, his tone changed abruptly, he waved his hand and thrust the half-smoked cigarette fiercely towards Chen Hai’s face.
With a swift dodge, Chen Hai avoided Qian Bing’s strike.
Then, he retaliated with a slap to the face, spinning him around twice on the spot.
The slap visibly dazed Qian Bing.
He staggered, still not fully recovering his senses.
The next moment, a massive leech, taller than a person, appeared out of nowhere before him and lunged at him.
Qian Bing had seen this leech before.
The last time, it had scared him so badly he wet himself and had to stay in the county hospital for several days before he started recovering.
Now, the leech appearing before him was clearly even more terrifying than last time.
As the leech was about to pounce on Qian Bing, it suddenly exploded with a ‘pop’ sound, turning into countless tiny leeches of finger size and completely engulfing him.
Don’t bite me, don’t suck my blood…”
If you don’t come now, your son will be bitten to death by leeches…”
Incoherent and babbling nonsense from fear, Qian Bing’s body slowly collapsed, weakening as he fell softly to the ground.
Frankly speaking, this guy was quite bold, but the sight of being overwhelmed by a dense swarm of leeches was terrifying beyond measure.
Even the bravest of people would find it hard to remain calm under such circumstances.
A few days ago, although he had screamed and jumped frantically upon seeing the giant leech Chen Hai had become, at least he was able to run swiftly.
But now, seeing the countless tiny leeches crawling all over his body, burrowing into it bit by bit, Qian Bing finally completely broke down.
His head slumped, and he fainted live from fright.
