On the ride, Luo Yang thought about comforting Shi Yun.
She had been startled in the evening.
She normally had less courage than others, and seeing her still somewhat shaken, he really felt sorry for her.
He racked his brains for the most appropriate thing to say.
He hadn't known Shi Yun for very long; they were just moderately acquainted.
In this situation, it wasn't appropriate to speak directly about certain things.
After thinking it over, Luo Yang said, "Sister Yun, if you have any trouble in the future, you can tell me, and I will help you sort it out."
Shi Yun nodded.
She was the kind of girl who would only speak after being prodded.
"Sister Yun, you should eat more to get stronger..."
But before he could finish his sentence, he heard Hong Jiaxin scoff,
"When you tell someone to eat more and get fat, what exactly do you mean?"
Girls all like to have a slim figure; if they eat too much and become round and plump, no boys would like them.
Actually, Hong Jiaxin had misunderstood Luo Yang's meaning.
Luo Yang meant that Shi Yun looked too frail at the moment, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Girls love to look pretty; that's their nature.
But being as thin and weak as Shi Yun, she had lost the beauty of nature.
She was indeed too slender; from head to toe, her dimensions were practically the same.
Moreover, Luo Yang wanted to teach Shi Yun a few self-defense techniques.
But as for her current physical condition, let alone self-defense techniques, even Immortal Technique would be of no use.
Only when her body became stronger and physically improved, and she knew martial arts, could she take down any hooligan trying to bully her.
Otherwise, with a huge disparity in strength, even if she knew self-defense techniques, and the hooligans just stood there letting her strike, she probably wouldn't be able to bring them down.
Shi Yun truly belonged to that group of girls with strength not even to truss up a chicken.
Looking at her delicate fingers, which had become skin and bones, this was simply unhealthy.
Hearing Hong Jiaxin's teasing, Luo Yang laughed and said, "Class leader, I'm not telling Sister Yun to get fat. I mean she should build up her physique. How could she possibly have a good body without eating more?"
Hong Jiaxin snorted coldly twice but didn't continue to argue with Luo Yang.
At that moment, An Yuying said in a delicate voice, "Niu Zai is right. You're too thin. You should eat more regularly."
Shi Yun blinked her eyes and nodded, though it was unclear whether she was just being perfunctory or had taken the advice to heart.
When in low spirits, it's difficult for one to remain energetic and healthy.
Luo Yang said, "Sister Yun, when you have time, I'll teach you a few moves. If someone dares to bully you again, you'll be able to knock them down."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yun smiled faintly; she seemed quite averse to the idea of fighting.
"Sister Yun, don't want to learn? Others want to learn from me, and I still have to think about it. I'm offering because we're quite close," Luo Yang said.
Shi Yun lightly bit her moist lower lip and smiled blankly, seemingly unsure of how to respond.
Given her temperament, she wouldn't dare to engage in a fight with just anyone.
In other words, even if Shi Yun learned self-defense techniques,
when she actually encountered hooligans trying to bully her, she might not be able to use them properly.
Chances were, she'd still mostly opt to turn and run away.
Hong Jiaxin laughed and said, "See? Not everyone wants to learn your skills. You've been saying you'd teach Sister Yun some top moves, and you've said it N times, but when exactly will you deliver?"
It wasn't that Luo Yang didn't want to pass on the top moves to her, but rather that her physical condition hadn't reached the standard yet.
As its name suggests, top moves are very powerful martial arts, which require a certain level of physical condition in and of themselves.
Hong Jiaxin's physical fitness was quite good, but there was still room for improvement.
"Class leader, don't worry. If I said I'd teach you, I'd definitely teach you," Luo Yang laughed.
Seeing Shi Yun a little embarrassed, Luo Yang didn't press her further about whether she wanted to learn martial arts.
He could give her some pointers when there was an opportunity in the future.
