Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

The school is still so vibrant and full of life.

Although it's the second semester of the third year, the students have all begun to feel the pressure of studying. Studying may not be the best way out, but it is certainly the quickest shortcut to finding a way out.

Before this, Xiaofan could be considered lucky in this regard.

As for the future, he didn't have too many demands, as long as he could marry the woman he loved and live a plain and simple life. Making money isn't easy, but as long as you work hard, you won't go hungry.

But ever since he returned from Liu Siyan's home, things were different. To marry a goddess like her, an ordinary life just wouldn't cut it.

With these complex thoughts in mind, Xiaofan slowly pushed his bicycle towards his home. If he didn't even have money to take a cab, how could he give someone else's daughter happiness?

"Hey, kid, you ran over my foot."

Suddenly, a ferocious thug appeared in front of him.

"Sorry." Xiaofan thought he hadn't really hit anything, dropped an apology, and prepared to leave.

"Hey, punk, you think you can just walk away with an apology?" The other person blocked Xiaofan again, unwilling to let it go.

"Then what do you want?" Xiaofan asked casually.

"What do I want? Compensation for medical expenses, two thousand bucks."

Damn it, he wasn't even sure if he had hit him, and the guy was asking for two thousand bucks. Come on, he was just walking with a bicycle, and the other guy's shoes were spotless, with no signs of being hit, this was clearly extortion.

"If you want to run a scam, you should at least find someone with money first. Do I look like I have money to pay you?" Xiaofan said helplessly.

"No money? No money and you dare act so bold. So you do know you're broke, huh?" Just then, a familiar voice came from the other side.

He looked over and saw five more people, four of whom looked like thugs, but he recognized the one in the middle.

"Zhang Qiang, so it's you." Xiaofan glanced over, speaking disdainfully.

"Kid, I've already checked out your family background. I advise you to stay away from Liu Siyan if you know what's good for you, or I'll make sure you regret it." Zhang Qiang was still fuming from almost getting an internal injury from Ye Xiaofan's words earlier that noon.

"And what if I say no?" Xiaofan's expression wasn't panicked at all. Five little thugs, at most, he'd only get beaten up.

"No? What makes you think you're worthy of Liu Siyan? Just a poor guy riding that bicycle all day. You really think she likes you? She just sees you as a decoy, that's all." Zhang Qiang continued to insult Xiaofan.

"Being a decoy means I'm shielding you. Compared to you, I'm still better off." Xiaofan countered immediately.

This indeed sparked Zhang Qiang's anger, who then shouted, "Ye Xiaofan, don't be ungrateful. If you agree to stop pestering Liu Siyan, we'll call it even today, otherwise..."

"I won't."

"You brat..." Before Zhang Qiang could speak, one of the thugs couldn't hold back and took two steps forward, swinging a punch.

Just as the punch was about to land, Xiaofan unexpectedly shoved his bicycle forward, slamming it into the thug.

"Wow, damn." The thug was hit in the abdomen and stumbled back a few steps in pain.

"Now that's what you call a hit." As soon as Xiaofan finished speaking, before his opponent could react, he stepped forward, grabbed the thug, and slammed him to the ground.

This move completely stunned Zhang Qiang. He thought the thugs he brought could intimidate Ye Xiaofan, but unexpectedly, one was down as soon as they started.

Xiaofan wasn't a fool; he had learned some moves from Shen Zuimo, and knew it was impossible to deal with five thugs at once, so he tried to reduce their numbers when they were unprepared.

"Bastard, you dare to hit first, I'll show you hell, go get him!" Another thug shouted, charging forward after seeing his companion get hit.

The others swarmed towards Xiaofan too.

As the saying goes, "two fists can't match four hands." Even though Xiaofan knew some take-down moves, he only managed to hold his ground for less than half a minute before being kicked to the ground under the barrage of fists and kicks.

The lead weights on his body hadn't been removed, and Xiaofan's reaction time had become unusually slow. Even so, he couldn't just bow down in front of them.

"Damn you!" Xiaofan suddenly jumped up during the brawl, randomly grabbing someone, locking on tightly, and punched fiercely with his right hand.

Xiaofan's strength was already considerable, and with his recent training with lead weights, his arm strength was surprisingly strong. Fighting desperately, he was actually holding his own against the thugs.

"Hit him! Beat him to a pulp!" Zhang Qiang shouted from the sidelines, too scared to come any closer at the sight of Xiaofan's flying fists.

"Zhang Qiang..." Following the voice, Xiaofan pinpointed Zhang Qiang's location and forcibly charged out, grabbing Zhang Qiang and punching him in the face.

The scene was chaotic. Everyone's faces bore the scars of the fight. Xiaofan was the most seriously injured with a swollen and bruised face. Zhang Qiang also had a bloody nose from Xiaofan's punches.

For a moment, the two sides stood off against each other, with no one daring to make a move. Thugs like these bullied the weak but feared the strong. Encountering one who didn't fear death, they became scared. Moreover, two among them were temporarily out of commission.

"You're something, Ye Xiaofan. You better remember this, next time I'll make sure to finish you off."

"Feel free to try, and see who gets finished first. But make sure I don't catch you alone, hehe..." Xiaofan had taken a beating, but that didn't mean he would back down.

This threat truly frightened Zhang Qiang. He originally wasn't someone with much courage, and never expected things would spin out of his control. If it really came down to a one-on-one fight with Ye Xiaofan, the outcome was predictable.

"Brother Qiang, my buddy's hand is probably broken, we should head to the hospital first. We can deal with this lunatic another day." Some of the thugs didn't want to continue fighting, risking their lives for two thousand bucks against a madman wasn't worth it.

"Alright, we'll let you off this time. Let's go."

Watching the group leave, Xiaofan was so exhausted he simply sat on the ground, gasping for air. Kindness is often met with bullying; Ye Xiaofan wasn't the type to take a beating without fighting back. However, he couldn't accept being beaten passively either. If he could unshackle the weights, those guys would undoubtedly be hurt worse.

"You can't even handle a few thugs. Seems like you'll need to increase your training." Suddenly, without any warning, a melodic voice came from behind.

Turning back quickly, a handsome face came into Xiaofan's view.

"Shen Zuimo, why are you here?"

"You didn't come back for lunch, I got a bit worried and came to check on you." Shen Zuimo's tone was very calm, but she was genuinely concerned for Xiaofan. After all, Xiaofan had been regularly going home after school, but today was an exception.

"Ah, sorry, I had an urgent matter that came up today and forgot to tell you." Xiaofan remembered, today he had gone to Liu Siyan's home and forgot to inform Shen Zuimo.

However, the fact that she ventured out of concern for him, wasn't that a bit too risky?

"What happened? How did you get into trouble with those thugs?" Shen Zuimo asked slowly.

"It's a long story, when did you get here? You didn't just stand by and watch me get beaten, did you?" Xiaofan picked up his bicycle and asked as he walked.

"Mm, I saw you when you left school."

"What? You actually stood by watching me get beaten and didn't help?" Xiaofan immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Help? Are you asking me to kill them? If that's what you want, I can help you resolve it next time." Shen Zuimo's expression was very calm, without any fluctuation even when she mentioned killing.

She was serious.

"No, no, never mind, I didn't say anything. I was wrong this time, but you being out here is dangerous, you should head back quickly."

"It's because of you. Hurry up and ride, I didn't get my nap today, and I'm a bit sleepy."
