Chapter 27: Borrowing a Car

  Back in the classroom, I sat at my seat with a huff, facing Xiao Lie who had followed behind me. I gave him a sideways glance, but neither of us wanted to talk to each other.

  It's all his fault. If it weren't for my adoptive father letting me practice during my free time, and being considerate of me so as not to tire myself out, would I have become so useless today?

  If it weren't for him locking me up at home every time he went out on a mission, could I be beaten by even a hoodlum now?

  I always thought I had high martial arts skills, but when I met a real opponent today, I realized that my skills were just minor tricks.

  I'm so angry I could die! It's all his fault~~~~

  "You're too impatient!" He said with a smile that was not quite a smile as he sat beside me.

  "Hmph!" I glared at him and turned away, really not wanting to reason with him anymore.

  He ignored me and walked up to those boys he had beaten earlier, asking: "Which of you has a car?"

  Several boys looked at each other in dismay, one of them said: "I have it, boss, what kind of car do you want?"

  "It's all right." Xiao Lie's elegant reply made the girls in class who didn't dare to get close to him drool.

  "Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lamborghini - we have all of them, which one do you need?" Several boys seemed to really take Xiao Lie as their grandfather, nodding eagerly one after another.

  "Let's take the Porsche!" Xiao Lie casually picked one and politely said: "Lend it to me for this afternoon, I'll return it afterwards."

  "Don't be so polite, if you want to, I can also give you a ride." A boy said generously and handed over the key. Xiao Lie didn't respond to him, took the key and turned back to his seat.

  "What did you borrow someone else's car for?" I asked in confusion.

  "You'll know when school's out!" He looked at me with eyes that revealed a tenderness that could make the girls around him faint at any moment.

  I compromised and didn't say anything, anyway he always thinks carefully before doing something, even if I ask him, he will do it first and then tell me.

  On buses, subways, before sleep, after work, watch whenever you want.
