Chasing Summer

Chapter 13 Part 1

Red Hair couldn’t stand the pain in his calf and couldn’t help but want to kneel down. However, that man had such a firm grip on his head. He couldn’t slide down even if he wanted to, so he had to bear it.

Red Hair shouted in pain, “Fuck! You guys, what are you just standing there for?”

“…mother fucker!”

“Hit him!”

The two men Red Hair brought with him looked at each other and then rushed forward together.

Lin Zhexia was almost stunned in place by the chaos in front of her.

Although she had fights when she was young, the fight in front of her was completely different from those kiddy fights. The scene was chaotic, she decided that the current situation could not be stopped with words, so the only thing she could do was to avoid adding to Chi Yao’s trouble.

Lin Zhexia took Chen Lin’s hand and led her back.

After all, calling the police might make the situation worse, and might impact Chi Yao.

The fight ended faster than they imagined. In a few minutes, only Chi Yao was left standing.

“Let’s go,” Chi Yao said after he was done. “I’ll take you to the bus stop.”

Lin Zhexia let out an “Oh” in a daze.

However, no one expected that Red Hair wanted to make a final stand for himself. Just as Lin Zhexia followed Chi Yao out for two steps, he suddenly jumped up from the ground.

Lin Zhexia was not one bit prepared.

However, at that moment, she felt Chi Yao stretch out his hand, which gently clasped the back of her head and pushed her into his arms.

The bridge of her nose rubbed on his collar. There was a light smell of laundry detergent on the youth’s clothes, as well as a clean sun dried scent.

Chi Yao enlarged the distance between Red Hair and Lin Zhexia in the shortest time. Not only did Red Hair catch nothing but air, but he also received another kick.

Lin Zhexia was held in Chi Yao’s arms, she heard the sound of his chest vibrating slightly when he spoke.

The youth’s voice turned overly cold, “…You like getting beaten up that much?”

Red Hair didn’t dare to come forward this time.

The bus stop was up ahead, and the bus just happened to be pulling up.

Chi Yao followed Lin Zhexia up the bus and accompanied her to take Chen Lin home.

The three were silent the entire way.

Arriving at the gate of her community, Chen Lin finally calmed down from earlier, “Thank you. If it wasn’t for you guys, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Lin Zhexia, “No worries, but it’s better to tell the teacher about this situation tomorrow and see if there’s any way to find out who the other person is, so as to avoid further trouble.”

Chen Lin nodded, “Then I’ll head in first. You guys be careful going back.”

It was getting dark now.

After seeing Chen Lin off, only Lin Zhexia and Chi Yao were left behind to walk back side by side.

Lin Zhexia tried to liven up the atmosphere, “You were very brave in the fight earlier.”

Chi Yao didn’t speak.

Lin Zhexia continued, “You 1V3’d as if throwing cabbages. They had no way to fight back.”

Chi Yao still didn’t speak.

Lin Zhexia, “And you’re so smart. You could still understand me even though I had so many typos. No. 2 High’s school bully, why aren’t you speaking?”

This time, Chi Yao directly passed her and walked to the front.

Only now did Lin Zhexia realize that Chi Yao was angry.

“I already praise you for being cool,” Lin Zhexia walked forward quickly and said tentatively, “or should I praise you some more?”

Chi Yao stopped and turned to look at her.

The light of the streetlamp shone against him, casting a shadow on his whole body.

Chi Yao uttered half of a bad word, “Don’t you fu-… don’t you know that it’s dangerous?”

Lin Zhexia didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Chi Yao sneered and read out the farfetched reason Lin Zhexia replied to him at that time, “You have other good friends.”

“This good friend of yours is really great. She knew that it was dangerous yet still pulled you along. You’re also quite amazing yourself. One dares to pull and one dares to go.”

“If you didn’t have time to send me a message, if I didn’t see my phone, if I wasn’t nearby, what did you plan to do?”

“You could run away last time, but how about this time?”

Lin Zhexia, “This underling didn’t think so much at that moment.”

Although she knew that Chi Yao was angry with Chen Lin because he was worried about her, she still wanted to explain, “She didn’t actually pull me along, it’s because I thought nothing would happen. I didn’t expect that an online fight would turn out like this.”

When Chi Yao was angry in the past, it’ll pass once she coaxed him a bit.

But this time it was a bit different. She talked the entire way, but Chi Yao didn’t pay much attention to her.

“Chi Yao Chi Yao, look, the reflection of this street lamp is like a star.”

“That puppy across the street is so cute. It looks a little bit like Xiao Bai, the one He Yang raised before.”

“I discovered that even the strands of your hair are quite handsome looking. I’m walking behind you and can feel that at this moment, you’re as handsome as a painting.”

When they were almost home, Lin Zhexia reached out and pulled the bag strap on his shoulder, “Chi Yao, give, me, a, reaction!”

“Don’t be so quiet like this,” Lin Zhexia said, “Although I do want to poison you to turn you mute when you talk before.”

Chi Yao finally couldn’t hold back this time and scoffed, “You even want to poison me?”

Lin Zhexia mumbled, “Just sometimes.”

As a result of taking Chen Lin home, she arrived home more than an hour later than usual.

Lin He warmed up the food, “Why so late today?”

Lin Zhexia put down her school bag and found an excuse, “I went to the bookstore with Chi Yao and came back late.”

Wei Ping, “Next time you come back late, remember to tell your mom. Your mom was so worried about you.”

Lin Zhexia agreed softly.

She hurriedly stuffed food in her mouth, and then asked Lin He, “Mom, where’s our medicine box?”

Lin He, “Under the coffee table cabinet, what’s wrong? Where are you uncomfortable?”

“No,” Lin Zhexia said, “It’s Chi Yao, he’s… he has a little cold. I’ll send him some medicine.”

She just thought of the scene earlier again.

Although Chi Yao beat those people, did he get hurt anywhere?

It’s easy to get scratched in fights. Besides, his fist should be hurting since it was waved like that.

She thought of Chi Yao’s hands and had to admit that it would be a pity if they were disfigured.

After finishing her food, she ran to the opposite building with her medicine box.
