Although Qi Shang knew that Xia Lin's words made sense, he still felt frustrated about having to hide their relationship.
"Then when my parents come back during the summer vacation, we'll... what's that word... come out of the closet..."
Tell Qi Shang's parents. Xia Lin thought of that polite and kind - hearted couple. Well, he felt a bit unworthy of their trust. Oh, whatever. He'd deal with it when the time came. Maybe Qi Shang's parents had been abroad for so long that their minds had become very open - minded.
Unlike Qi Shang, a high - school student who had to start classes immediately after registration, Xia Lin didn't have classes until the afternoon of the next day after registration.
So, after registration, Xia Lin and Qi Shang simply went to a buffet near the university for lunch. While they were eating, they heard the voices of two girls nearby.
"Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" Looking up, they saw two cute girls who seemed to be freshmen.
Xia Lin shook his head. "No one. You can sit down."
Since Xia Lin and Qi Shang were sitting face - to - face, one of the girls sat next to Xia Lin and the other sat next to Qi Shang.
They were quietly eating when suddenly a boy came in. He walked in and grabbed the hand of the girl sitting next to Xia Lin and tried to drag her away.
The girl refused. "Liu Zhiyuan, let go of me!"
Everyone in the restaurant turned their eyes towards them. The boy's face darkened. With his other hand, he grabbed the girl's hair and said viciously, "You slut! How dare you cuckold me! Come out with me. I'll teach you a good lesson!"
The girl sitting opposite was scared stiff. Shaking, she didn't dare to stop him. Xia Lin saw that the girl was in tears and her embarrassed face was red. She didn't seem to be the shameless girl the boy described.
Most importantly, Xia Lin couldn't stand seeing a rough boy bullying a cute girl like this. "Hey, classmate, can you wait until she finishes her meal and then have a good talk?"
The boy glared at Xia Lin fiercely. He waved his thick arm. "It's none of your business! Are you also this slut's lover?"
This boy was really strong, and he didn't hold back his strength. Xia Lin was hit by his arm and couldn't stand steadily. He bumped into the wall and hit his arm, letting out a hiss of pain.
Qi Shang's face instantly changed. He moved his lips, and the boy who was holding the girl let go and suddenly fell to the ground, wailing.
Xia Lin immediately realized that Qi Shang had used his speech - spirit ability. He looked at the girl and told her and her friend to leave quickly. Whether it was to find a teacher or call their parents, they should protect themselves.
The girls were terrified. They never thought that someone who usually seemed quite docile could have such a bad temper. They forgot to say thank you and quickly ran away.

"Qi Shang! Wait, that's enough!"
Hearing Xia Lin's shout, Qi Shang finally came to his senses from his dark look. He kicked the man lying on the ground hard, took out a 50 - yuan bill from his bag and put it on the table. Then he pulled Xia Lin away, leaving the other people in the restaurant who had watched the show still discussing.
