Tang Feng walked up to the girl and could now clearly see her face; indeed, she was stunningly beautiful, no wonder she was attacked by those two scoundrels.
"What were you doing out here all alone in the middle of the night? It's all right now, do I need to take you back to your dorm?" Tang Feng saw her pitiful state, and couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion.
"My, my foot hurts." The struggle earlier had caused her to twist her left foot, which was now swollen and obviously painful. She couldn't walk, unless she hopped back on one leg, frightened as she was in the middle of the night.
Tang Feng stepped forward and crouched down, "Come on."
The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally lay on Tang Feng's back. While she was still a bit wary of this lifesaver, she couldn't help blushing when she was carried.
Well, men and women are different after all.
She had not expected this day to come.
Tang Feng noticed that the girl was supporting herself on his shoulders, smiled slightly, and didn't mind. It showed that this girl was very chaste, maintaining some distance from a man even in such circumstances, quite commendable.
"Hey! What's your name? I'm Qi Ruoyi, from senior class four."
"So you're Tang Feng, I've heard about you, and you're as pretty as rumored," Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Not at all. By the way, which class are you in?" Qi Ruoyi's voice was very soft, with a clear, delightful beauty, very soothing to the ear.
"Senior class one. Why, digging for information? Are you thinking about how to repay me?" Tang Feng asked.
"You helped me, of course, I should repay you. How about I treat you to a meal?" Qi Ruoyi suggested.
"A meal to get rid of me?" Tang Feng joked.
"Then you tell me."
"Ha, just kidding. No need for a meal. Helping each other is what classmates do. Just be more careful from now on, and it's best not to go out at night," Tang Feng advised.
"Yes, I understand. Could you take me to the school doctor? I'd like to have my foot looked at," Qi Ruoyi said, a bit embarrassed.
"Let me take a look at it," Tang Feng walked into the school corridor, set her down, and started examining her injured foot after helping her sit.
Qi Ruoyi's heart raced; she hadn't expected Tang Feng to be so knowledgeable. He seemed very outstanding, capable of fighting and even treating her foot injury. It was the first time she felt cared for by a boy, and she was really nervous.
Tang Feng examined Qi Ruoyi's injured foot, noticed it was indeed swollen, seemingly from a severe twist. He gently touched the injured area, using the spiritual energy within his body to slowly manipulate it.
Qi Ruoyi felt a cool sensation, followed by a clear heat at the site of the injury, and then the pain gradually subsided. Curiously, she glanced at it and saw the swelling had even gone down. She was amazed. Normally, such an injury wouldn't heal for days, but now it seemed better in less than ten minutes.
"Tang Feng, you're amazing, thank you!" Qi Ruoyi said.
"Does it feel better?" Tang Feng looked up and asked.
Qi Ruoyi nodded vigorously, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Good, go back and soak the injured area in warm water to improve circulation. It will heal faster," Tang Feng advised.
"I understand. Then I'll go back myself," she said as she got up.
"You shouldn't move recklessly yet, let me help you walk a bit more; there is still a long way to go," Tang Feng said, supporting her arm.
Throughout the walk, Qi Ruoyi couldn't help but steal glances at Tang Feng.
About five minutes later, they arrived at the dormitory building.
No sooner had they arrived than two girls ran down from the building, "Ruoyi, you naughty girl, you finally decided to come back. Tell us, what's the deal with this handsome guy?"
Qi Ruoyi quickly withdrew her arm, shouting happily, "Jing Yun, Ziyue."
"Tell us, what happened?" They looked at the pair curiously.
"It's not what you think. I'll tell you about it when we get back," Qi Ruoyi said, somewhat embarrassed, not daring to look at Tang Feng.
"Qi Ruoyi, I'll be going now," Tang Feng turned and left, soon disappearing into the night.
After Tang Feng left, Fu Jingyun placed her hands on her hips and said, "Well, well, Qi Ruoyi, we've been pinning our hopes on you here, and look at you, getting yourself a boyfriend. Come on, tell us what happened?"
"Sis, big sis, I'm scared of you, okay? Help me back first, and I'll tell you everything in a bit." Qi Ruoyi admitted defeat, and the two girls then helped her upstairs.
Meanwhile, Tang Feng returned to the place where the incident had occurred. The two were still unconscious there. He walked over and left a mark on their bodies. From then on, they were essentially unable to commit evil.
After reheating the water and returning to the dormitory, he was met with a scene that enraged him—the entire bed was soaked, still dripping.
The culprits were his three roommates, who had drunk themselves silly.
"Hey, you're back. You've changed quite a bit, kid. In the past, you'd hide when it rained. You're lucky this time, didn't get wet," Su Wudong said with a cocky laugh.
Suddenly, fragments of memories flashed through Tang Feng's mind. It seemed some memories hadn't fused yet. No wonder. Now, recalling how these guys used to torment others, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Tang Feng wasted no words, stepped forward, grabbed Su Wudong by the neck, picked him up, and tossed him aside without a second glance.
The huge figure was thrown out of the dormitory.
A scream silenced the other dorm mates; clearly, none of them had been asleep. They had always adopted a passive attitude towards Su Wudong bullying Tang Feng, as they couldn't afford to offend him.
They wanted to help but were powerless.
Now, each could fit a loaf of bread in their mouths.
Shock, astonishment.
They thought they had seen a ghost in the middle of the night.
The weak and frail Tang Feng could now effortlessly handle Su Wudong.
Were they dreaming, or had the world changed?
"Tang Feng, what do you want to do?" the remaining two sobered up a bit, backpedaling continuously. The alcohol did not strengthen their courage. Seeing Su Wudong's pitiful condition, they definitely didn't want to end up the same way.
"Aren't you brothers with Su Wudong? How can you let him suffer alone? Join him," he said, then grabbed the two and threw them out.
This display of power had everyone in the dormitory in disbelief. Was this still Tang Feng?
After finishing this, Tang Feng lay down on one of their beds and fell asleep, completely disregarding everyone else.
What was going on?
The roommates exchanged glances, then hurried to bed. The current Tang Feng was somewhat terrifying. Just over ten days of absence and he had become so formidable. It was truly strange.
Rao Weisheng hadn't expected Tang Feng to be so dominant. Perhaps he had always been enduring, and this time he could no longer bear it. He wanted to ask, but the other party didn't give him the chance.
"Tang Feng, come out here, you're dead meat!" Su Wudong was not someone to accept defeat lightly.
"Come out!" The other two sounded like they were just supporting him, but their voices were much lower.
"Dare to backtalk one more time, and I'll make sure you can't speak," Tang Feng coldly threw back the words, silencing the trio outside.
However, driven by malicious thoughts, Su Wudong refused to believe he couldn't defeat the frail Tang Feng.
He charged in, only thinking of crippling Tang Feng.
Bang!
Just as he was about to kick Tang Feng, a leg appeared in front of him.
Not good!
As the thought flashed through his mind about how fast it was, he was flung into the air again, this time in more pain and with greater intensity. There was no next moment—he passed out.
"You two, get him out of here, or you're next," Tang Feng said, then fell silent.
The two didn't dare waste time and quickly carried the figure away. It was still raining outside; Tang Feng really was ruthless.
