This sort of amorous incident naturally shouldn't be talked about too much.
Everyone knew it without saying it aloud.
Tan Shengmei said with a smile, "Xi Yangyang, how does it feel?"
In reality, she was making a double entendre.
Lin Xixin hadn't expected Tan Shengmei to have sneaked back to the door of her home halfway through and overheard some suspicious information.
Faced with the question, she naturally answered honestly, "It feels so comfortable."
Just like how it feels great to relieve oneself when one's bladder is too full.
Lin Xixin didn't mean anything more than what she'd said.
But Tan Shengmei, the listener with mischief on her mind, read into it and smiled knowingly.
Just then, Lin Xixin picked up a call and had to leave.
Tan Shengmei then walked Lin Xixin to the staircase before hurrying back to the dorm, eager to get Luo Yang's confirmation.
At that moment, Luo Yang was busy filling out a form.
"Niu Zai, what kind of favors did you do for her?" Tan Shengmei asked quietly.
Luo Yang didn't even look up.
"Favors? Oh, yes, I gave her 'beauty stream' water for free."
The young man simply hadn't thought too much into it.
'Beauty stream' water wasn't cheap, and giving it to Lin Xixin was indeed doing her a favor.
However, the kind of favor Tan Shengmei was hinting at involved a transaction.
Hearing Luo Yang admitting to having given Lin Xixin a favor in exchange for a 'leg', Tan Shengmei giggled.
"You're really capable," Tan Shengmei said wistfully.
Luo Yang thought she was praising his excellent medical skills.
As they were more familiar with each other by now, he chuckled, "Not bad, right? My technique is always good."
Tan Shengmei originally intended to tease him, but hearing his frank admission, she couldn't help but burst into genuine laughter.
After finishing the form and passing it to Tan Shengmei for review, finding no issues, Luo Yang bid farewell.
When he got back to the car, half an hour had passed.
What he had thought would take only a few minutes ended up taking a lot longer, as he had to help Lin Xixin relieve her milk, which delayed him quite a bit.
"Let's go."
Once in the car, Luo Yang said with a smile.
He was in a great mood, feeling sweet inside.
Seeing Luo Yang's unabated smile, Hong Jiaxin said with a sneer, "Is Director Tan planning to make you a director too?"
Luo Yang just smiled it off and didn't take it to heart.
Good spirits come with happy events.
When one's mood is pleasant, even ridicule could be taken as a compliment.
When he turned to look at Shi Yun and saw her frail figure, he immediately felt pity for her.
"Sister Yun, you must not eat much usually, you're so thin."
While saying this, Luo Yang gently patted Shi Yun's thigh.
Shi Yun nodded slightly with a blush, not daring to look his way.
At that moment, Hong Jiaxin gave Luo Yang's left shoulder a slap.
"Class monitor, why did you hit me?" Luo Yang chuckled bitterly.
"Shi Yun, don't fall for his tricks. He's very crafty. Look, his hand is still on your leg. If it were me, I would have beaten him up by now!" Hong Jiaxin said indignantly.
After her words, Luo Yang immediately felt his face burning hot.
He quickly withdrew his hand, giving Shi Yun a sheepish smile.
Seeing that Shi Yun's cheeks had also turned a slight red, he found the timid charm very endearing.
"Sister Yun, don't listen to the class monitor's nonsense. I'm very pure," Luo Yang boasted.
At this remark, both Shuang Qiao and Hong Jiaxin laughed.
However, Hong Jiaxin's laugh was scornful, with a disdainful curve to her lips.
"This 'pure' wolf. I really can't stand to listen anymore," Hong Jiaxin said with eyes full of contempt.
"Class monitor, don't glare like that," Luo Yang said with an awkward smile.
"If you dare to touch my thigh, see if I won't beat you to death!" Hong Jiaxin's eyebrows shot up in a fierce gesture.
Luo Yang indeed wanted to place his left palm on Hong Jiaxin's thigh.
Upon hearing her say that, he had no choice but to retract his hand.
"Squad leader, you misunderstood. I was just making a gesture, not trying to touch your thigh," Luo Yang argued.
Seeing Hong Jiaxin's annoyed look, Luo Yang had no choice but to turn to Shi Yun to talk.
"Sister Yun, you mustn't believe what the squad leader said, she's really good at bluffing," Luo Yang urged.
Who knew Shi Yun would cover her mouth and laugh, clearly not agreeing with his statement.
Slap!
Slap! Slap!
His shoulder took 3 more hits.
Luo Yang turned his head toward Hong Jiaxin, saw her with chin lifted, haughty in her mannish way. His gaze dropped and he thought, though her bust was slightly smaller than Lin Xixin's, it still had plenty of fullness.
With just a glimpse, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Hong Jiaxin, unaware of Luo Yang's X-Ray Ability, even straightened her back and puffed out her chest, almost as if she was challenging him.
This suited Luo Yang just fine, so he took a few more looks.
At that moment, Hong Jiaxin, noticing the angle at which his gaze fell, quickly crossed her arms over her chest.
Seeing Hong Jiaxin's pretty face turn red as well, Luo Yang had to sit up straight.
If he kept looking, Hong Jiaxin would blow her top.
Before he knew it, they had arrived at Shi Yun's house.
As soon as they stopped the car, they heard a man and a woman arguing inside the house.
The woman was clearly Shi Nan, the man unrecognizable.
However, Luo Yang glanced at Shi Yun and saw her looking utterly bewildered, her eyes lacking focus, obviously distressed.
Luo Yang reached out to hold Shi Yun's hand, comforting her, "Sister Yun, don't panic, I'm here."
Having seen Luo Yang's capability before, Shi Yun nodded at his words.
Hope kindled in her eyes as well, no longer lifeless as before.
So everyone got out of the car and followed Shi Yun into the house.
Aside from Shi Yun, whose hair was disheveled, there was also a gaunt middle-aged man; the two were locked in a heated exchange.
Based on the part of the conversation they heard earlier, the argument seemed to center around money.
Luo Yang scanned the room and, judging from the gaunt man's facial features which bore a resemblance to Shi Yun's, he deduced this man must be the head of the Shi family.
Shi Yun stood there, not daring to intervene, looking lost and helpless, glancing from one person to the next.
No one dared to speak out randomly.
Eventually, it was Luo Yang who asked, "What's going on?"
Family disgrace is not to be spread abroad.
Seeing so many people had come, Shi Nan felt both ashamed and infuriated.
When asked, she coldly dropped a line, "You don't need to worry about it."
The gaunt middle-aged man, however, seemed interested in Luo Yang and the others, greeting them, "I'm her dad. You guys are her friends, right? I'm really in need of some money right now, can you lend me a thousand bucks? I'll pay you back soon."
Before Luo Yang and the rest could reply, Shi Nan shrieked, "Don't lend him anything! He won't be able to repay!"
Everyone present found themselves in an awkward predicament.
It's a huge loss of face for an elder to ask the younger generation for money, and for the younger to refuse the request.
Hearing his daughter dare to openly obstruct him, Father Shi instantly became furious, his eyes bulged, and his facial muscles twitched slightly, a sign he was about to hit someone.
This was a family dispute within the Shi family, and it was difficult for outsiders to step in and help.
Luo Yang thought since he had come all this way, he might as well try to persuade Father Shi on Shi Nan's behalf.
The last time he visited the Shi family, Luo Yang had learned that Father Shi was a drinker and gambler.
With such a father, it wouldn't be easy for the family.
Just as Luo Yang had anticipated, he saw Father Shi raise his hand to strike Shi Nan across the face.
Shi Nan closed her eyes.
But just as his hand was about to meet Shi Nan's face, Luo Yang reached out and grabbed Father Shi's right wrist, preventing the sound of a slap.
Father Shi stared at Luo Yang.
"Uncle, lending you money is no problem. May I ask what you need the money for?" Luo Yang said, his expression friendly.
Hearing that Luo Yang was willing to lend the money, Father Shi's demeanor warmed up too.
"I need to handle some business. If you have it, give it to me now. I'll definitely repay you," Father Shi urged with an oath-like tone.
In this situation, Luo Yang guessed that Father Shi was most likely in gambling debt.
And the creditor wasn't just anyone; if Father Shi didn't pay up, he could end up getting a beating.
Furthermore, he might have been hoping to win back his losses.
No matter the case, the bottom line was that he wanted to gamble to win back his capital.
