Chapter 022 – The Strangeness Of The Wound (1/2)

022 – The strangeness of the wound

“Zhang Xiaojun cla.s.smate, let's go to the bathroom together? I don't accept. Li Ming, let's have Jin Jiang cuisine[1] at lunch alright? I don't accept. Chen Chong, help me bring some snacks back—-sorry, I don't accept. What's more funny was that w.a.n.g Pingshang was sleeping in cla.s.s and the teacher asked him to answer the question, he said I don't accept while lying on the table. The teacher was furious, grabbed his ear and kicked him out—HAHAHA, brother do you know how much influence you have within the school? It's a pity that you don't go to school now, otherwise many people will treat you like their idol.”

Li Muyang had no idea that this uproar would have such an impact, he shook his head and said: “Wrong is wrong, right is right. When I was sleeping in cla.s.s, the teacher kicked me out. Furthermore, I have never argued back. Because I knew that what I did was wrong, my att.i.tude would affect other students, my actions were disrespectful to the teacher—”

“However, this time being accused of cheating is more than an event, the truth is that in my heart I feel very wronged. However, the matter has gone past now; right now all my focus is placed on ways to improve my grades. Right now I am able learn a few things, but my knowledge foundation is too weak. Xiaoxin tutored me starting from the first lesson, but it is far too exhausting for her. In addition, I'm afraid there's limited time—”

“Brother, I want to ask you. “Li s.h.i.+nian pulled Li Muyang's arm and said: “Xiaoxin sister said that there's many topics she didn't teach, but you happened to know the answers–you did not learn it but you know the answer. What is going on? Could it be that previously you were secretly learning? ”

Li Muyang shook his head as he said: “I don't know what happened. I've always felt that somehow there were many inexplicable things in my head. Sometimes I feel that I've been living a life already, a lot of things I've seen for the first time but I'm able to suddenly blurt out their background and history. Just like the textbook exercise, some stuff Xiaoxin had went over, but some of that knowledge is already present in my mind—although the thought process is quite difficult, since it is hidden deep inside, but I am eventually able dig it out. ”

“Don't tell me that you're possessed by an celestial? “Li s.h.i.+nian said laughingly: “How can a celestial be so stupid? Possessing a charcoal's body?”

“—-”

“Alright, alright, my brother is the most handsome amongst charcoals–” Li s.h.i.+nian inspected Li Muyang's face and said: “Actually your facial profile is good, this is because you inherited the good genes from mum and dad. You take a look at this beautiful girl me and you'll know. Wait until your skin turns paler, then you'll be a handsome brother. Or, next time, before you leave the house, I'll help you apply a layer of powder? ”

“Can you apply it to the whole body? “Li Muyang displayed a wry smile. “First, let's not say how many bottles of cream would be wasted, but covering the whole body will take hours, right? ”

“Just applying to the face is enough. Who's going to cover your whole body? “Li s.h.i.+nian said snappily. “Brother, don't change the subject, let's continue with our previous topic–”

“—–” Li Muyang showed a face of being wrongly accused, just when did he change the subject?

“Brother, originally I didn't want to say to you, at least not at this time, but I feel it's better to tell you early, so as to avoid you suffering a critical blow in the future—You're aware of Xiaoxin sister's grades, her goal is West Wind University. From my understanding of her, this is not anything difficult for her. But what about you? Are you able to go to West Wind? Are you able to follow her to Tiandu? Even if you're in Tiadu, even if you're admitted to West Wind University—with our family background, our history, do you have any hope? “

“I know that. “Li Muyang said in a deep voice.

“What?” Li s.h.i.+nian's big eyes glanced over.

“You can say that I understand. “Li Muyang grinned and spoke aloud: “Just now when I saw her off, I saw someone came to collect her – the car she sat in, it most likely will cost ten years of income from mother's bakery? ”

“Brother—-”

“I'm fine. “Li Muyang reached out, placed his arm around his sister's shoulder and said: “Think about it, would the previous me have a chance to be friends with Cui Xiaoxin? ”

Li s.h.i.+nian shook her head.

“Yes, I have no chance to even talk to her let alone be friends, but now I can. Furthermore, she is able to come to help me with my lessons every day – compared to before, a lot has changed, right? ”

“Well. “Li s.h.i.+nian nodded seriously and said: ” Brother, you will become more and more intelligent, you will also become more and more handsome. At that time Xiaoxin sister will maybe fall in love with you.”

Li Muyang nodded with a serious face and said: “That's for sure. At that time I will be the most handsome man in the world.”

The brother and sister looked at each other and laughed. Li s.h.i.+nian laughed with an ache in her heart and Li Muyang laughed with sorrow.

In truth, these words were not funny at all.

Li s.h.i.+nian leaped up from the bed, looked at her brother Li Muyang and said: “Brother, it's late, I'm heading back to my room to sleep. You should rest early. Tomorrow, Xiaoxin sister is coming to tutor you. You can't fall asleep then.”

“Alright. Good night.” Li Muyang said with a smile.

Li s.h.i.+nian waved her hand, and then turned around, leaving Li Muyang's room.

Li Muyang rolled around in bed for a long time, unable to sleep. His mood also became more and more restless.

He got up, poured a large tank of water, and soaked his body in hot water. It wasn't until then that his mood felt somewhat better.

Sleeping in cla.s.s, going home for a bath, these were the two things that Li Muyang did the most.

Because his right hand was wrapped in gauze from being pierced through, there's no way for him to place his right arm into the water. This has caused some inconvenience to him.

Li Muyang stared at his arm; the fist that originally didn't have the strength to truss a chicken was able to send Zhang Chen flying, it was also able to send a.s.sa.s.sin Crow flying. It must be said, at that time Crow was wielding a knife that gave off a silver light that expanded rapidly, like a huge sword of light—

His fist met against the sword, should the sharp blade not have severed his fist instead? How could his fist send Crow flying with just one blow?

Li Muyang watched his fist in a daze for a while. A strong curiosity urged him, he was ready to peel out of the gauze and see what has become of his injury now.

The layers of gauze unraveled layer by layer. The bruised blood inside has become increasingly prominent.

When he removed the gauze, the wounded palm was present in front of his eyes.

He submerged his hand into the hot water to wash it clean, then placed it under the light to inspect.

In perfect condition!

He remembered it clearly; his palm was pierced through with a knife by an a.s.sa.s.sin.
