After apologizing, Lin Jin was ready to leave. However, just as he passed by the punk with dyed hair, he abruptly felt his wrist being grabbed.
"What're you doing?" Lin Jin turned his head, furrowing his eyebrows. Although this punk looked like a freak, he was still somewhat taller than Lin Jin. Lin Jin had to look up to make eye contact, somewhat annoyed, he said, "I've already apologized."
Lin Jin used to be a small-time thug, similar to the punk standing in front of him. However, he never bullied people. He had seen this kind of situation with guys like this punk quite often. Most of the time, he would just watch the drama unfold. He hadn't expected to become the center of such an incident himself.
Logically speaking, the punk should be trying to extort him, right?
Lin Jin was quite displeased at the thought.
"You think a simple 'sorry' is enough after you bumped into me? If saying sorry worked, what would be the point of police?" The punk continued to snarl, thinking his expression looked menacing. But to Lin Jin, it just seemed like the punk was acting like a clown.
"So, what do you want to do?" Lin Jin had already been quite irritated by this relentless punk, but upon seeing his facial expression, it was already an achievement not to burst out laughing. He sternly shook off the punk's hand, crossed his arms over his chest, and asked, "What, are you going to say I dirtied your clothes and demand money?"
"Huh?" The punk paused, then discontentedly asked, "Do you think I'm one of those scammers who fakes accidents?"
"Are you not?" Lin Jin was also taken aback.
So this punk wasn't trying to scam him? Was he trying to collect protection money then?
Come to think of it, there weren't even bars or internet cafes near the school, just a normal billiard hall. Why would a punk like this appear in such a place?
"Hey, girl, how about we get to know each other? I can treat you to dinner or something" the punk's fierce expression instantly turned tender. "Look, you bumped into me. So asking for your QQ number isn't too much to ask, is it?"
So... he mistook me for a girl?
The corner of Lin Jin's mouth twitched. So, the punk had been putting on an act all along?
"I'm a guy" Lin Jin said without hesitation.
However, the punk, who introduced himself as Huang Meng, didn't believe him. Although Lin Jin's voice was somewhat androgynous, it was not overtly masculine. One could even vaguely detect a feminine tone.
"My name is Huang Meng. I should be able to enter a programing school this September. I'm just scouting the place today" the punk actually began to introduce himself. "Even though I'm from a vocational school and my grades aren't great, I shouldn't have any problems getting into programming. Maybe you could take care of me when that time comes?"
His words sounded nice, but he's probably thinking of how to pick me up, isn't he?
Ever since Lin Jin's appearance had become increasingly feminine, he had been hit on quite a few times. He knew how to handle such situations and added Huang Meng as a friend by scanning the QQ code.
After adding him as a friend, Lin Jin thought he could finally leave, but Huang Meng, still smirking, looked at him and asked, "So now that we're acquainted, how about we go for a drink?"
What the hell? I thought this guy wasn't a thug, but it turns out he's still a small-time hoodlum, isn't he?
Lin Jin began to feel quite displeased with the punk in front of him. His day had already been going poorly. Bumping into Huang Meng and getting extorted for a few tens of yuan wouldn't have been a big deal. After all, it's best to avoid trouble whenever possible, right? But this punk dared to provoke him over and over, and now seemed to have taken a liking to his "looks"?
This is just intolerable, isn't it?
Lin Jin squinted at the punk named Huang Meng in front of him. The guy was scrawny, and if it weren't for his dyed hair, earrings, and the hint of a tattoo peeking out from his collar, Lin Jin might have mistaken this rather delicate fellow for a introverted guy. Yet, this man who stood less than 1.7 meters tall was not only a small-time thug but also one who seemed to have a few screws loose.
"What's the matter? It's just a drink. I know where there's a bar nearby, and it's only a half-hour ride on my electric scooter" Huang Meng said, his smile seeming quite sincere. He appeared genuinely interested in getting to know Lin Jin. But Lin Jin wasn't born yesterday, he knew all about the trick of luring people to a bar, getting them drunk, and then taking advantage of them. Such scams had been widely discussed online, hadn't they?
Hmm... maybe I should just beat him up?
A menacing glint flashed in Lin Jin's slightly narrowed eyes.
Huang Meng, still oblivious, held onto Lin Jin's wrist and seemed intent on forcibly dragging him away.
"Hold on, I'm carrying stuff" Lin Jin said with a light laugh. He was holding two servings of fruit salad in his hands. Pointing to an alley, he added, "I rent a place in that alley. How about we go to my place first?"
"Do we really need to?"
Huang Meng worried that there might be a tall and mighty man in Lin Jin's home ready to punch him out.
"What are you worried about? I'm still single. This fruit salad is for my cat" Lin Jin lifted one of the small servings of fruit salad for Huang Meng to see. "Would you like some?"
"No, I'm good" Huang Meng said, seemingly aware of Lin Jin's ulterior motives. He continued to hold onto Lin Jin's wrist tightly. "Let's go. We're just going for a drink. I won't make you drink much. My treat."
The rain had stopped, and more students were out on the streets. They glanced curiously at the tense standoff between the two, but most, not wanting to get involved, chose to look the other way as they walked past.
Shop owners peeked out to watch the development between Lin Jin and Huang Meng. To them, the pair seemed like a quarreling couple, making the shop owners hesitant to interfere without knowing the full story.
Lin Jin sighed. Originally, he'd planned to lure this guy into an empty alley and incapacitate him with the stun gun before venting his frustrations on the unconscious Huang Meng. But Huang Meng hadn't taken the bait.
So, he had to resort to taking action right there on the busy street.
With all eyes on them, Huang Meng didn't dare to use excessive force on Lin Jin. He was just forcefully pulling Lin Jin's wrist, dragging him towards his electric scooter. The grip was so painful that Lin Jin was on the verge of tears. He wanted to take out his stun gun, a high-end weapon rewarded by the black cat, and fire it, but that seemed like overkill at the moment.
So Lin Jin suddenly squatted down, startling Huang Meng, who reflexively looked back only to see that Lin Jin had simply put the two bowls of fruit salad on the ground.
"What's up?"
"Nothing" Lin Jin replied, as he pulled down the zipper of his jacket and took out his secret weapon.
"Pshhh!"
"What the f*ck! Motherf*cker!" Caught completely off guard, Huang Meng was hit squarely in the face by pepper spray. He immediately let go of Lin Jin's wrist, cursing and pretending to be tough, but instinctively covering his eyes and rubbing them vigorously.
The spray had entered Huang Meng's eyes directly, the burning and stinging so severe that he thought he was going to go blind. He involuntarily fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face due to the intense pain.
"Not bad, pretty effective" Lin Jin hummed, picking up his bowls of fruit salad. He didn't hesitate to kick Huang Meng in the shoulder, flipping him over onto his back on the ground.
"Did you really think I was an easy target?" Lin Jin looked down, satisfied, at Huang Meng who was struggling on the ground and rubbing his eyes. A very pleased smile appeared on his face.
"Pah! Scum!"
If this were some alleyway, I would've already stripped you bare and thrown you on the ground!
After apologizing, Lin Jin was ready to leave. However, just as he passed by the punk with dyed hair, he abruptly felt his wrist being grabbed.
