Chapter 286 : A Rose Wedding 12 (1/2)

Xi Yin ended up staying in Shi Sheng’s mansion.

However, he would never go to the academy together with her. Even if Shi Sheng shamelessly insisted on following him without caring for her dignity, he would disappear to shake her off.

Later on, Shi Sheng started openly courting him. Flowers, confessions—all the moves that could be played were used.

By now, everyone in the academy knew that their cold goddess was fervently courting Xi Yin, causing a lot of males to grow dissatisfied with him.

Several boys had cornered Xi Yin in the classroom when Shi Sheng wasn’t by his side. The leader was a boy who claimed to be Mi Nai’s biggest admirer.

He shoved the desk in front of Xi Yin aside, causing the books on top of it to fall off and scatter across the ground.

“Our goddess is already courting you, yet you dare to act all lofty! Aren’t you just great?!”

Xi Yin was unmoved as he stared at the boy. “Move it.”

“Move it?” The boy laughed coldly. “If you don’t explain things today, don’t even think about leaving!”

Xi Yin’s eyes narrowed, a hint of gold flashing in their depths. His hand that was dangling by his side slowly clenched into a fist.

Yet the boy appeared ignorant of the danger he was in. “Do you think our goddess isn’t good enough for you or something?! You actually dare to disrespect her—”

“That’s her matter.” Xi Yin spoke coldly.

“Fuck!” The boy was infuriated at Xi Yin’s cool attitude. He waved his hand to signal the people behind him to attack. “Teach him a lesson!”

……

When Shi Sheng rushed over to the classroom, she was greeted by the sight of that boy splayed out on the ground, seemingly dead. His little minions were cowering in the corner.

Xi Yin looked at her with an unreadable gaze.

Shi Sheng walked over to him and anxiously pulled his hands while scrutinising him from head to toe. “Are you okay?”

Xi Yin pursed his lips and nodded his head.

“He’s dead.”

Shi Sheng looked at the corpse on the ground. He lay there. Face pale, eyes bloodshot.

She remembered this person. He touted himself as her biggest admirer and often brought his little bros to bully the other boys who liked her.

He’d even caused a death before—but because his family was rich and influential, the school couldn’t do anything. Hence, he was rather feared throughout the academy.

“As long as you’re okay.” Shi Sheng shifted her gaze back and helped him smooth out the wrinkles in his clothing.

Xi Yin lowered his eyes to look at her.

It seemed like she didn’t care about anything…except for him.

The sounds of police sirens could suddenly be heard from outside the building. Shi Sheng’s gaze turned to focus on the people cowering in the corner.

When her gaze landed on them, they were like startled ostriches that immediately gave her trembling explanations. “I didn’t call the police.”

“It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it!”

“It wasn’t me…”

These people all said they hadn’t called the police—yet the police had already arrived.

Shi Sheng gazed out the window. ‘Great, they’ve got this block surrounded. Did the person who called the police say someone was planning to blow this place up?’

The police siren continued to wail, causing the remaining students in the block to hurriedly run outside.

“Attention, people inside! We have you surrounded!”

“Do not harm the hostages! You can tell us your demands.”

“We can help you. You mustn’t hurt the hostages!”

Other similar announcements sounded throughout the building.

Shi Sheng’s expression didn’t show any change as she unhurriedly helped Xi Yin straighten out his clothing. He grabbed her hand. “This matter has nothing to do with you. You should go.”

‘Since it’s the police that came, this is going to be a bit troublesome.’

Shi Sheng raised her head to look at him. Her gaze was calm but a smile had spread on her face. “You’re concerned about me?”

Xi Yin let go of her. “I was just stating the facts.”
