1158 Kong Xinxue 2 (1/2)
”However,” Her entire upper body suddenly leaned forward to Garen, both of them had their noses against each other, their faces almost stuck together.
”I am pleased.”
”What?” Garen was shocked at her sudden movement. He had never seen such a temperamental person in his life. Even after transmigrating between so many worlds, this was the very first time he encountered someone who displayed such a split personality. The very second before, she was still cool and collected, but at this very moment, it was as if she changed into an entirely different person.
”I am relieved, as you have finally grown up, you've become a man,” Kong Xinxue grabbed on to Garen's collar and almost lifted him up.
Bang.
She released her grip and Garen fell butt first back on to the chair.
”As a man, there will always be the dark desires buried deep within your heart that will tempt you into taking actions, and you've finally taken the first important yet poor-natured move. I don't know if I should be happy or upset, but there's one thing I know for sure.”
Kong Xinxue stood up and walked toward her own room.
”And that is, courage is the key element that makes a man.”
”Courage?”
”Do you know the Infinite Self-defence Rights?” She threw at him a black fountain pen. The pen rotated speedily and marked a straight trajectory before landing beside Garen on the sofa. ”As a man, you have to be alert at all times and be ready to step up for a lady. Furthermore, how are you going to battle if you don't have any weapons?”
”Weapons?”
Garen held the fountain pen up. There was nothing different about this item, it was just an ordinary black fountain pen.
Kong Xinxue turned back.
”Humans only know that it is not illegal to use one's scissors for self-defense, but they don't know that a fountain pen actually provides a better concealment. Practice using it… It'll come in handy one day.”
She waved elegantly, then entered her room. After her door was slammed shut, no movements could be detected anymore.
Garen stared speechlessly at Kong Xinxue as she walked into her own room, then glanced at the fountain pen held in his hand.
”Weapon? This?”
An undeniably appropriate image kept bouncing into his head.
Nighttime in the streets.
”No… Please, don't… I'm begging you…” Eyes filled with tears, Kong Xinxue begged as she shrunk into the corner in the alley.
Several thugs surrounded her, lustful smiles written all over their faces as they grinned at their trapped little sheep.
”Hey, little girl…It's dangerous to be out about the streets alone in the middle of the night.”
”Looks like we've got to educate you on what safety is about, hehehe…”
”Shout all you want, nobody would come to your rescue no matter how much you scream or shout…”
Chirk.
A flick knife sprung out in the hands of one of the thugs.
According to the Infinite Self-defence Rights, the perfect time to counterattack is when the opponent shows his weapon!
There would only be one chance! Speed! Ruthless! Accurate! One fatal blow!
The silver ballpoint pen swiftly fell into her hand as a cold look flashed through Kong Xinxue's eyes.
Ah! Ah ah!
After a few screams, everything was silent in the alley.
”What a terrifying lady…” Garen shook his head in an attempt to shake away the crazy thoughts in his mind. However, for unknown reasons, he was slightly amused.
”She has a personality, and her actions are different from how she portrays herself to be, it's like she has a dual personality. And she's pretty. Such a special girl, no wonder one of the Four Great Cornerstones developed a crush on her,” Garen touched his chin, finally acknowledging the fact that this world was actually quite interesting after all.
********************
Monday, it was time for school.
Hiss…
Garen had his head on the table as he napped.
The teacher's lecture sounds in the classroom automatically played as his lullaby. The scratching sounds of students making notes around could be vaguely heard as the scratch marks echoed in the classroom, giving off a certain hollowness.
This world was almost the same as Earth, the similar lifestyle that was a combination of Western and Eastern cultures. There were also heat weapons, missiles, tanks, and even nuclear weapons. If it were not for the different name and the geographic location, Garen would have thought that he had arrived at another parallel world to Earth.
The basic knowledge learned in class were practically as easy as ABC to Garen. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was that he should not use other world's more advanced formulas to calculate when he solved questions in order to avoid triggering a worldwide buzz.
”Hey, Fei, I heard you suffered a heat stroke and almost died. Is it real?”
His deskmate, also one of Kong Xiaofei's few only friends, Koslan, was currently pretending to copy down notes as he squeezed Garen's elbows.
”It's fake,” Garen simply responded, ”Would a person who almost died return beside you this fast?”
”True, makes sense,” Koslan nodded in agreement.
