Chapter 190 - Thoughts of a Young Lady

Lin Yis abilities were wasted on bullying street vendors.

Zhang Biaogans actions, however, had crossed his bottom line- he wasnt too sure how the Tangs were doing, but it was clear that they were nowhere near well-off. Their absent father was enough for Lin Yi to make a guess

What Biaogan was doing, on the other hand, was blatant bullying- it was only reasonable then for Lin Yi to give him a taste of what that felt like.

Whater you still sitting here for? You want me to buy you dinner? Lin Yi asked Biaogan, who was still sitting on the floor.

Biaogan forced a smile on his face as he quickly got up. Nono, I wouldnt dare Ill leave, Ill leave right now

With that, Biaogan got up and ran off as fast as he could after picking his coin box up, ignoring everything else.

The barbeque woman and the skinny man were also packing their stuff up- it was time for a change in business.

You okay, aunty? Lin Yi asked as he walked toward a confused Mrs. Tang.

She simply couldnt catch up with the sudden change in development.

I-Im fine Im fine Mrs. Tang said, snapping back into reality- Biaogan was running his mouth right in front of her eyes moments ago but he wasnt here anymore.

And all that had happened because of this young man here. So what if Biaogan was a tyrant- there were even bigger ones other than him around.

Tang Yin, on the other hand, had her head lowered, and she wasnt quite sure what to think or say- from a model students perspective, she couldnt agree with Lin Yis way of handling things But it was indeed true, at the same time, that Lin Yis method was the most appropriae one for the situation.

After all, it was certain that Biaogan wouldnt be bothering them anymore, but one question remained Why did Lin Yi do this? Why would he want to help her family out? She understood it perfectly in her heart: he wanted to have a good impression on her, he wanted her to like him by doing stuff like this

As cliche as it might sound, even Tang Yin had to admit the effectiveness of an approach like that. At the very least, Lin Yi wasnt as much of an asshole in her eyes anymore He was only an asshole to bigger jerks, but that was it

Just like that, Lin Yid barged into her life permanently, and it didnt seem very possible for her to get rid of him anymore How was she supposed to face him from now on?

Should she continue her mockery of him? Should she continue giving him the cold shoulder? Tang Yin couldnt bring herself to do it- she knew that herself. She wasnt a heartless person, and despite Lin Yis intentions, it was true that hed helped her and her family, at the end of the day

As a result, the only route left for Tang Yin was to run- Lin Yis status and position put her on guard, and she locked her feelings once more as she remembered what Fen had been through, sealing herself off once more

Lin Yi looked at Tang Yins lowered head, not thinking much of it. Aunty, Im actually just here to ask about the weekend When should we come over? Tang Yin didnt give any details, so I wanted to make sure

Saturday morning, then You can come whenever youre free- we live in the slums, third house in Grass Alleys. Mrs. Tang said, regaining her composure as her gratitude showed on her face. Lin Yi, we really have to thank you for what you did today I dont know what the two of us would've done if you hadnt shown up Wed just get bullied without being able to fight back

Haha, that wont happen again. Lin Yi said with a laugh. Well, me and Xiaobo are leaving- see you guys on Saturday, aunty.

Nono, please, sit- Aunty will get you something to eat Mrs. Tang, naturally, wouldnt let Lin Yi leave just like that- she had to thank him in some way.

Mrs. Tang was really starting to like Lin Yi now- he had the tyrannical side young masters had, but was actually quite reasonable as well! As terrifying as his darker side may be, Mrs. Tang found him to be very easy-going with people he knew well.

Its getting pretty late, well pass this time- lets leave it for Saturday! Well be there on time. Lin Yis phone had vibrated in his pocket earlier- it was probably a text from either Mengyao or Yushu, and Lin Yi had to get back to them as quickly as possible.

Alright then Mrs. Tang said after Lin Yi insisted. Yin, see your friends out!

Ok Tang Yin nodded unwillingly, walking after Lin Yi with her head still lowered.

Ah A faint smile formed on Lin Yis lips as he turned to leave with Xiaobo. Tang Yin, on the other hand, just walked behind them silently- Lin Yi wondered what she was thinking about.

Its okay, you can go back if you dont wanna. Lin Yi said, a little amused as he looked at Tang Yin.

I didnt say that. Tang Yin hmphed softly. T...Thanks for earlier

Was just passing by- Id probably help out if it was someone else too Lin Yi said, adding a probably to the statement. He probably wouldnt help if it were someone else, in actuality

After all, he couldnt just butt into everything- he might as well go and put on an ultraman or spiderman costume if that were the case.

Naturally, Tang Yin wasnt buying what Lin Yi was saying- why would a young master like him even bother if it werent her he was saving? Her debts toward Lin Yi were piling up, and Tang Yin couldnt help but feel uncomfortable at that fact

You really wanna go out with me? Tang Yin asked as she raised her head at Lin Yi all of a sudden.

Ah? Lin Yi blinked at Tang Yin, evidently not expecting those words to come out her mouth.

It took Tang Yin quite some courage to get a question like that out- Lin Yi had involved himself with her family at this point, and Tang Yin wanted to make sure what Lin Yis intentions actually were.

She put on a strong-willed front, but her heart was filling up with guilt and shame- it wasnt a surprise that a girls face would heat up after throwing out a question like that. Fortunately for her, Lin Yi wouldnt be able to see the blush on her face at night.

Tang Yin was panicking enough in the first place, and she treated Lin Yis ah as him admitting it.

Do your parents know? Will they agree to this? Tang Yin continued with another question before Lin Yi even answered her first one properly.

Tang Yin had seen what Lin Yi had done for her family, after all, and she couldnt quite grasp what her feelings towards Lin Yi were at this point- there was some hate in there, but also something special

My parents? Lin Yi blinked again, pausing at the question- who were his parents? Even he didnt know that Old Lin did say he was an orphan

Lin Yis pause registered as hesitation in Tang Yins eyes, and her fragile heart of a young lady tensed as it killed off the spark that had just taken place

The guy was just playing around after all Hed never planned anything for the two of them, nor had he told his parents about this He was never planning to spend his life with her, so what was she still struggling for?

another month! Let's start it off strong :D

cough cough back to 21 chaps. theres still the goal thing, but ill do that after my patrons get charged (uk, that whole unpledging thing...)
