Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Severing Both Hands
As soon as the main character, Beiming Xue, appeared, all the classmates cheered.
At this moment, in the hearts of everyone present, Xiahou Que had Ouyang Feiting’s affection and was also pursuing Beiming Xue. Being associated with two of the four school beauties made him truly a lucky man among men.
For a moment, all the male classmates looked at Xiahou Que with eyes full of envy and jealousy, while all the female classmates gazed at him with admiration and frenzy.
As he had connections with two of the major school beauties, this Xiahou Que must surely be regarded as a male god.
So, classmates around who didn’t know the details started shouting loudly.
“Be together!”
“Be together!”
…
Xiahou Que had a look of pride on his face as he quickly walked up to Beiming Xue and softly said, “Xue’er, I’m truly proposing to you. Everything before was my fault, I’ve decided to change, please forgive me and marry me.”
After speaking, Xiahou Que stretched out his right hand to Beiming Xue.
Beiming Xue glanced at Xiahou Que’s bandaged right hand, a look of disgust appeared on her face. It was this very hand that viciously scratched her yesterday. If it weren’t for Wang Yan, she might not have escaped his clutches.
She couldn’t believe that today, he was acting as if nothing happened and had the audacity to propose to her.
Why are there such brazenly shameless people in the world?
Beiming Xue looked at Xiahou Que with an expressionless face and coldly said, “Xiahou Que, stop bothering me. You scoundrel, you’re not even worthy of speaking to me.”
Upon hearing Beiming Xue’s words, Xiahou Que cried out in agony, “Oh no, Xue’er, you can’t do this. I’m sincere about you, I’m willing to protect you forever. Please agree to marry me.”
Seeing Xiahou Que’s pained expression, everyone around was deceived by him, and they shouted in unison, “Say yes to him.”
“Say yes to him.”
Beiming Xue turned around, trying to head back to the dormitory building, but as soon as she turned, she found that Mr. Hua and the Four Great Vajra had already blocked her path behind her.
Mr. Hua and the four had expressionless faces, but their eyes were chillingly sinister. They stood firmly, blocking Beiming Xue’s way.
Unable to return to her dormitory, with Xiahou Que pestering her in front, and surrounded by clueless classmates making a fuss, Beiming Xue stood there in confusion, on the verge of breaking down.
In desperation, Beiming Xue could only shout loudly, “Go away, get away from me――”
The more distressed Beiming Xue was, the more excited Xiahou Que became. But on the surface, he still pretended to look pained, shouting, “Xue’er, I want to protect you, I must protect you.”
Seeing this, the surrounding students cheered again, and some were even moved by Xiahou Que’s sincerity.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly echoed from behind the crowd, “Xue’er doesn’t need your protection, the person who will protect her is me.”
Although there were thousands of students around and a noisy crowd, the voice immediately overpowered all other sounds upon its emergence.
The voice resonated clearly, echoing above the heads of all the students.
Everyone immediately quieted down and looked towards where the voice had come from.
They saw the crowd automatically parting, and behind them, Wang Yan walked in accompanied by Ma Jun.
As soon as they saw Wang Yan, almost everyone recognized him.
All the male classmates murmured in low voices, “It’s Wang Yan.”
“It’s actually Wang Yan.”
Meanwhile, the girls in the dormitory building screamed in excitement, “Wang Yan――”
“Wang Yan――”
Wang Yan’s story had already spread throughout the school, and everyone eagerly anticipated seeing him.
However, Wang Yan was as elusive as a Divine Dragon, rarely seen by anyone.
The less he was seen, the more mysterious he became, coupled with the tales being passed around about him, growing increasingly legendary, Wang Yan had already taken on an air of mystique within the entire school.
Additionally, figures like Lin Hai and the yak who had interacted with Wang Yan highly revered him, so in the eyes of everyone, Wang Yan had been idolized.
Even though Wang Yan was just a first-year student, in everyone’s eyes, he was already a totem and symbol of the school.
When they saw Wang Yan appear, even though he hadn’t done anything, everyone inexplicably became excited.
Moreover, upon hearing what Wang Yan had just said, the meaning was very clear: Wang Yan intended to compete with Xiahou Que for Beiming Xue.
Except for a few who understood the situation, everyone else was thrilled.
It was definitely explosive, breaking news.
Everyone widened their eyes, watching the scene closely.
Seeing Wang Yan finally there, the confused and helpless Beiming Xue immediately lit up, as if grabbing her lifeline.
She dashed out from Xiahou Que’s group and ran to Wang Yan’s side within a few steps. Her eyes filled with tears, glittering on the verge, with her pouty lips looking extremely aggrieved.
Seeing Beiming Xue’s aggrieved appearance, Wang Yan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, a strong protective urge rising within him.
“Xue’er, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Upon hearing Wang Yan’s words, Beiming Xue nodded vigorously, her face breaking into a smile. Yet, the tears in her eyes couldn’t hold back any longer and fell down.
Wang Yan turned his head to look at Xiahou Que, a chill in his eyes, and stepped forward.
Seeing Wang Yan walking towards him, Xiahou Que hurriedly shouted, “Wang Yan, do you intend to hit me in front of all my classmates?”
Upon hearing Xiahou Que’s words, Wang Yan couldn’t help but stop.
Indeed, in front of so many classmates, if he were to start a fight, others would inevitably get hurt.
That was the opportunity Xiahou Que was waiting for. When he saw Wang Yan pause, Xiahou Que quickly shouted, “Wang Yan, I know you can fight, but you can’t bully me. Each of us has the right to pursue love, you can’t use violence to stop me.”
With that, Xiahou Que assumed an indomitable look, as if he would still pursue Beiming Xue even if he feared Wang Yan.
The surrounding classmates, unaware of the truth, saw this and were once again deceived. Moreover, they had heard of Wang Yan’s formidable skills, even admired by teacher Lin Hai, thus they esteemed Xiahou Que’s words even more.
The surrounding classmates clamored, “No violence.”
“Fair competition.”
“Whoever loves Beiming Xue more, Beiming Xue should be with them.”
…
Seeing the classmates being stirred up by him, Xiahou Que’s eyes glinted with villainous intent as he looked at Wang Yan with provocative eyes.
Wang Yan was keenly aware of Xiahou Que’s intentions, but he couldn’t make everyone understand what kind of person Xiahou Que really was.
Xiahou Que slowly lifted his bandaged hands and waved them around.
The surrounding classmates gradually quieted down.
Xiahou Que said, “Thank you all for seeking justice for me. You’re right, whoever loves Xiahou Que more has the right to have him. Fellow classmates, look at my hands, these are proofs of my love for Beiming Xue. Yesterday, when I forcibly grabbed Xue’er’s hand, she got mad. So, I went home and immediately broke my own hands. I wanted to show Xue’er that I love her the most, and for her, I’d sacrifice even my own hands.”
Upon hearing this, all the classmates gasped in amazement. Love at this level was truly earth-shattering and moving.
Xiahou Que glanced at Wang Yan and said, “Wang Yan, can you do that? If you dare to break your hands, I’ll leave right away; otherwise, Beiming Xue is mine.”
(Today, I’ve resumed three updates, and doing more than that impacts my train of thought, so I’ll stick to three for a while!)
