Sister Xin was immediately moved and said gratefully to Li Yang, "Li Yang, I didn't expect you to have such a broad mind at such a young age. You will definitely be able to do great things in the future!"
The most important thing I can do is mess with you, Sister Xin, but you just don't know it.
"Thank you for your encouragement, Sister Xin. I will definitely try my best to be someone that makes you proud. Sister Xin looks absolutely gorgeous today." Li Yang suddenly looked Cao Xin up and down with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Chapter 89: Little Brat
Cao Xin suddenly felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. Her pink face flushed slightly, and her delicate hand unconsciously brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Her posture was alluring and charming, making Li Yang feel a little thirsty.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You little brat!" Sister Xin glared at Li Yang, a little embarrassed and annoyed. But she wasn't angry.
"Clang"
One of the animals on the side provided a good explanation for Li Yang, then crashed headfirst into a lamppost.
"See that, Sister Xin? That's your charm. Am I right?" Li Yang said with a grin, pointing to the side. At this moment, he was no longer the seemingly naive and pretentious ordinary high school student, but a man flirting and laughing with his principal and the director of political education.
"If you say that again, I won't talk to you anymore," Cao Xin said, feigning anger as she waited for Li Yang. Her glaring eyes and reproachful expression were truly captivating.
"Alright, that's enough. But Sister Xin has to promise to get me an exit pass. It'll be much more convenient for me to come and go as I please." Li Yang seized the opportunity to make his demands.
"Oh, this is nothing. But don't let it interfere with your studies. Although I know you're hiding your strength, practice makes perfect. It's best not to overdo it!" Sister Xin said with a parental-like serious expression.
"Sister Xin, you really seem like the woman who loves me the most!" Li Yang said with a strange look in his eyes.
Sister Xin blushed immediately and spat, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly love you? We're siblings now, understand? Siblings!" Cao Xin's heart was pounding uncontrollably. She couldn't help but think of what her mother had said: there is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women. Men only fawn over women and flirt with them when they have ulterior motives. What kind of pure friendship or sibling relationship is this?
She couldn't help but think back to that day when Li Yang almost vowed to give her a chance to pursue him, and she had agreed, and he had even fulfilled his promise. Should she have said yes?
Li Yang chuckled inwardly, but feigned annoyance and said, "Sister Xin, what are you thinking? I was talking about my mom. Only my mom is always nagging and lecturing me. Don't you think you were just like my mom?"
Cao Xin let out a soft cry, her face flushing bright red, like the most beautiful red peony. She said somewhat flusteredly, "You, you, of course I meant the same thing. I just care about you. I'm your sister, aren't I? Okay, we've reached the door. You can go back now. I'm going upstairs. Goodbye."
Sister Xin turned and ran away in a somewhat flustered manner. Inwardly, she despised herself. What kind of men hadn't she seen? How could she have been so flustered and disorganized by a mere boy?
Cao Xin, Cao Xin, you've really disappointed me! You can't do this again, you can't do it again! No!
Although Li Yang didn't know what Cao Xin was thinking—he hadn't used his special ability, so he naturally didn't know—he watched her fleeing figure as she was caught, and Li Yang smiled smugly. "Hmph, you'll be my prey sooner or later!"
Li Yang smiled faintly, turned around, and walked out of the residential area. Now, because of his superpowers, his confidence has grown stronger. He can easily face any situation and achieve complete victory!
So, none of those stunning beauties who appear around him can escape his grasp in the face of his overwhelming power!
He had to attend self-study sessions in the evening. Although he could easily skip class and his grades would not drop, he decided to stay out of the spotlight and be a diligent student so that people wouldn't notice and think he was a freak or a guinea pig for research.
So, after he got home in the afternoon, he stayed in his room for a while and read the miscellaneous books he had bought. After eating a simple dinner that he had made himself, he planned to go to school to study.
Even dozing off or sleeping is less noisy than skipping class.
He took his time on the way, not in a hurry, but when he arrived at the school, there weren't many people there yet; he was still a little early.
There was no one in the classroom. Gao Cheng, that jerk, hadn't arrived yet. Based on Li Yang's experience, he wouldn't come unless the bell rang and the homeroom teacher checked attendance.
Li Yang didn't want to stay in the classroom, so he walked out and headed towards some deserted places, such as the playground or the nearby woods. He wanted to chase away some of the eager young lovers and stop them from continuing their mistake.
He wandered aimlessly like this, and before he knew it, he had arrived near a small grove of trees on a high earthen slope on campus. The autumn wind was blowing and the leaves were turning yellow. It was a clear and crisp autumn day. He took a deep breath and, feeling great, walked into the grove.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowed, and his eyes flickered. He then darted into a hollow on the side, because he heard people talking in the woods, seemingly about him.
Who arrived earlier than me? Were they just bored and didn't want to stay home, so they came to school? But judging from the voices, it seems to be a few girls, so what's the big deal?
Thinking this, Li Yang hid in the hollow and listened to their conversation. Suddenly, he felt that the voices sounded familiar.
"Lihua, are you having an affair with him?" a girl asked in a very lewd way.
"Yes, tell the truth! We saw everything that happened between you two that day. The way you were acting, it was obvious you liked him! Tell us!" Another girl with a seductive voice pressed him on.
“Yes, there’s no one else here, just the three of us. Even if you confess, no one else will know, we’ll definitely keep our mouths shut!” The girl who had spoken earlier was also trying to get Zhao Lihua to confess.
"Don't make things worse! She's in a bad mood! She just wanted to take a walk here, and you won't let her have any peace and quiet! Honestly!" Zhao Lihua seemed to be in a really bad mood, and she snapped at the two gossipy girls who were obviously good friends.
The two men seemed to have just noticed Zhao Lihua's bad mood, and they quietly apologized without pressing her for details. However, they did accompany Zhao Lihua for a walk in the woods.
Li Yang, hiding in a depression to the side, finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the two were Zhao Lihua's close friends, Liang Chunyun and Jiao Hua. Their children's families were also government employees, but their status was obviously not as high as Zhao Lihua's family. It was said that Zhao Lihua's father was the head of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and had a lot of power.
Li Yang could easily tell that the person they were talking about was himself. He hadn't expected they'd been there when he was writing the bulletin board; they must have been peeking from the side.
Damn, I never thought that even I, the king of peeping tom, would be spied on.
But what could have caused Zhao Lihua to be in a bad mood? She was in a great mood when they parted ways that morning because she was enjoying herself, so this sudden change must be due to something at home.
Chapter 90: As Close as Lacquer and Glue
What could possibly happen to her family? A thought flashed through Li Yang's mind, and he immediately remembered the news he had seen yesterday, which said that the disappearances of people in the city had attracted widespread attention and a special task force had been established. Her father must be under tremendous pressure.
Is this what's troubling her? As her man, shouldn't I share her burdens and help her solve her problems?
He started lost in thought. But then his phone rang. Startled, he quickly dashed out of the grove and went to a secluded corner before answering the call.
"Cao Xin, you bitch... Let's see who can save you this time, let's see where you can run to... You've made me so miserable, I'll make sure you wish you were dead today, or I'm not Mei..."
Li Yang answered the phone, but before he could even speak, he heard this voice from the other end. Li Yang's face instantly turned extremely ugly! Damn it! That damned Mei Fu, he's actually targeting Cao Xin again!
“Mei Fu, let me tell you, the end of your Mei family has come. Although it hasn’t been widely reported yet, people with connections know that your Mei family doesn’t have many good days left. You’re already a stray dog. I advise you not to do anything foolish, or you’ll only make your crime worse! Although this is an abandoned factory with few pedestrians, heaven is watching what people do. Be careful of your retribution!”
Cao Xin seemed quite calm, employing psychological tactics to break down Mei Fu's defenses. However, it was clear she had only pressed a shortcut key to notify Li Yang, and didn't have time to make a direct phone call.
"Hahaha... Karma! Bullshit! I've never believed in that stuff! Let me tell you, you're doomed today. I've got my camera and camcorder ready, I'm going to record a whole 'Carnal Prayer Mat' for you. With your looks and figure, I bet you're way more sensual and exciting than any of those Hong Kong 'Goddesses of Breasts'... Hehe... I'll let the citizens of Jiangdong City witness the stunning beauty of the daughter of the vice principal of the city's No. 1 Middle School and the director of the Education Bureau... The smart thing to do is open your car door yourself, or you'll ruin your car! Don't be sad about it!" Mei Fu's frantic, hysterical voice could be faintly heard, and the situation didn't seem too bad.
