Chapter 21: Did you set this up?
The next day, I contacted Li Min: I had important things to say to her. She wasted a little bit of time before she replied to my email. In the email, she gave me her convenient location. I did not bother to contend with her on it. After all, it was already marvelous she'd agree to meet up.
I got to the location at the required time. The place was at the gym, and there was a martial art competition. The members of the martial art club were present with the unique uniform that made them outstanding. I quickly discovered her position. She wore a simple casual blouse and a light jacket, which was conspicuous and noble. The cloth set off her overall charming yet frigid demeanor. Not even the dress dared to hide her superiority.
She was not especially seated with anyone, but anyone could effortlessly notice their devouring eyes: while everyone avoided her, their attention locked on her. It always feels contradictory, but what's my place to comment? I wore my flat expression like a bored artist as I moved toward her position. Then I quietly sat closer to her. However, I respected her personal space.
"Yo!?"
I expressionlessly waved as I tried to cut off the silence between us because I had already noticed that she had discovered me.
"What did you want to talk about?" She instantly and flatly cut off all formalities as she cut to the chase.
However, even though this girl saw me salute her, she dared to pretend like a god. Sometimes, her audacity disgusted me more than the belch of a crocodile.
"Well, it was something I had come across. I wanted to help…." I said curtly. Li Min turned her eagle's eyes toward me like she was reading the situation. Then she turned toward the martial art competition again.
Instantly, I cut in again. "However, I would like this to be done as secretive as possible as I want to protect the victim's self-image while seeking justice for her," I said solemnly. In any case, I'm always satisfied to know how much power she wielded.
Li Min continue watching the match without turning toward me. In the March between two girls. They seem to be second-year students. However, I didn't know them too well. The girl by the left side had a calm and calculating demeanor, a simple pixie bang that made her look cute like a white rabbit. Even though she was a little out of air and disordered, anyone could feel her vigor. However, the yellow martial art uniform set off her charms. Regardless, the other girl by the right flank had an unpredictable air around her. It was as though the more people tried to understand her, the more they failed to—it was impossible to discern what she was thinking. This person had long black hair that she skillfully banged. However, her white martial art uniform complimented her extraordinary bearing. Even though she had bruises on her face, she still wore a victorious smile.
"Who do you think would win this match?"
Li Min seemingly neglected my yapping and cut in with an abrupt question. It was as if she was anticipating and reading through me. 'Keep underestimating! One day, I would make you pay a high sky price for your foolishness.' Regardless, understanding where she was heading, I decided to play along. It was nothing extraordinary anyway. There was no need to play too dumb. Still, I also understood it was not good to give too much information, even though it was indirect.
"The girl on white," I responded plainly.
She looked at me with interest and then briskly smiled. It was not the first time I had seen her smile, but it appeared she grew charming every time I saw those smiles. After a few brawls, the white girl indeed won. She knocked the girl on yellow down without her standing back again.
Li Min exhaled and turned to me with a hint of respect. "So, what do you want me to do?" She questioned calmly as our eyes crossed each other. Then I took out my phone and sent the picture of Boazhai Dayu to her email.
"This girl was almost harassed. I want you to report it and action taken without rumors spreading."
"This girl was supposed to be one of the three girls you asked me about, yes? Did you set this up?" she frowned with disbelief. She quickly got her bearing even though her mind contemplated many things. Of course, her face did not betray these changes in emotions—she was still calm. I understood that some people found it hard to trust others, and some stayed incredibly calm when dealing with unusual situations. In normal circumstances, those were outstanding traits. However, no one could easily see such people these days.
"Yes, She's one of the girls, and no, I didn't set up anything. I came across this problem coincidently."
I answered, trying to show my integrity. In my heart, I also knew I was not exaggerating.
"Coincident, huh?" She muttered. "Anyway, I will see what I can do about the issue."
With that, she concluded she would help me out. So I decided to leave her in peace. There wasn't any need to linger around someone as uncommunicative as Li Min. If it wasn't absolutely crucial, there wouldn't be any need to waste my essence on her.
However, as I walked out of the gym, I unexpectedly met an inexplicable surprise.
"Are you Guang Fang? Can you spare me your special time?"
'Special time? What a surprise!' Besides, this person had a cunning smile—she was shrewd and might do anything to gain whatever she wanted. Of course, I knew who she was: Yue Si. A third-year senior and she was also the secretary of the student union. What could she possibly want?
Noticing my quietness, although not betraying my thoughts, she knew she had plunged me into turbulent thoughts. So she coughed to awaken me.
"I don't mean harm—let's talk for a while."
"Senior jokes. There is nothing special about my time at all. In fact, from my pea brain, I could easily understand that Senior need not waste her precious time on me. I'm, after all, a nobody."
'I knew nothing good would come out of this situation. Moreover, it was too perfect that this person immediately appeared after I came out of the gym. Perhaps, these third-year students had their goons keep their eyes on Li Min.' I thought, calming my mind.
'What are you pretending with me? If it is not that I want things to be secretive enough, would I waste my time being formal? Now you even calculating me?' Yue Si thought with a sneer.
"I have a piece of news that can help you. I know that the president wants to target you. However, we can't speak here." Yue Si said as she turned around and led the way, believing that I would follow.
I sighed!
