Chapter 77: Get Lost!
Wen Ling felt a bit annoyed. He turned off his phone, preparing to get up and leave.
“Ah!! Someone is upskirting me!” A sharp voice came from above. Wen Lingās ears were hurt by the vibration. He frowned and rubbed his ear before continuing to stand up.
As a result, before he could fully stand up, his shoulder was suddenly pushed hard. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
“Dead pervert!”
Wen Ling endured the dizziness and looked up. The gazes of the people around all fell on himācontemptuous, disgusted, looking down on him.
Pointing and whispering.
Wen Ling locked eyes with the girlās fearful yet secretly smug gaze, and almost instantly understood what was going on.
For no reason, inexplicable maliceāhe was already numb to it.
“I didn’t take any photos. You blocked me yourself.”
Wen Ling stood up, brushed the dust off his legs, ignored everyoneās gaze, and left.
“Dead pervert! Still won’t admit it,” Wen Lingās back was pushed hard again. “There clearly are photos of me in your phone!”
Wen Ling shook off the hand clutching his back, his eyes only left with coldness. “Get lost.”
But when malice is generated and strikes at you, you can never dodge it.
The girl just rushed over to grab Wen Lingās phone. The onlookers also gathered around. The back of his hand being touched felt like it was stained with disgusting slime. Wen Ling couldn’t take it anymore. “Go away!”
“Ah!” The girl was pushed to the ground. The surging crowd went silent for an instant. “Help, heās hitting people!” Naked gazes moved from the girl to Wen Ling again.
“Hey! What kind of trash are you to dare bully someone here?!”
“Should we call the police?”
“Holy shit, so terrifying…”
The girlās face, the gazes of the onlookers, the airtight pointing and whisperingāit gradually overlapped with his previous disgusting experiences.
Wen Ling only felt nauseated, his ears ringing one after another. How could this world always be like this?
“Wen Ling!” Wen Lingās arm was held by a broad, warm hand. The familiar voice that suddenly appeared immediately pushed away those disgusting curses.
Wen Ling jerked his head up, seeing Cheng Ge looking at him with a worried and caring gaze. His heart immediately settled.
There was still something different.
“Are you okay?” Wen Ling heard Cheng Ge ask.
Cheng Geās soul had almost been scared out of him just now. The captain said there seemed to be someone fighting over here. Cheng Ge scanned with his gaze, and as a result, he saw Wen Ling standing inside alone being surrounded, his gaze cold and terrifying.
“Iā”
“Hey! Classmate, can you get clear on who the victim is?!”
“What are you acting for? Upskirter, pretending to be pitiful as soon as someone comes, right?”
Someone directly pointed at Wen Lingās nose and cursed, “Just now it was this idiot who was hitting people. He even pushed this girl!”
“…Notā”
Wen Lingās words were drowned in the curses of the surroundingsācovered, swallowed.
The sudden public indignation caught Cheng Ge off guard. His pupils moved, looking at the girl on the ground, then looking at Wen Ling, speechless for a moment.
Actually, Cheng Ge was still a bit dazed up to now. What on earth were these people saying? How could Wen Ling hit people or push girls?
Even if Wen Ling hadn’t become good, even the previous little madman wouldn’t disdain to do these things, right?
And Cheng Ge didn’t understand. Why were a group of people there chirping and squawking to complain for the girl, yet no one came to help the girl up? Inexplicable.
Cheng Ge wanted to let go of Wen Lingās hand and help the girl up first, otherwise what would this be?
“Cheng Ge, don’t touch her!” Wen Lingās gaze was fixed on Cheng Ge, his emotions agitated.
The curses and gossip around increased.
Cheng Ge gripped Wen Lingās arm, the strength tightening. But Wen Ling, besides looking at him, had no further follow-up. Cheng Ge was anxious from being looked at, so he could only ask drily, “You didn’t push her, right?”
Cheng Ge didn’t believe Wen Ling would do such a thing. He just wanted Wen Ling to say “No” to everyone, or shake his head. Even if there were some misunderstanding, the matter would be easier to explain.
But Wen Ling looked into his eyes and eventually said, “I did.”
Two words made Cheng Geās heart turn cold. He didn’t understand why Wen Ling would do such a thing. Wasn’t Wen Ling already slowly becoming good? How could he be even more malicious than before?
“…No, why did you have to push her?”
Cheng Ge didn’t understand, and Wen Ling didn’t understand either. He didn’t understand how Cheng Ge became like this, how his Cheng Ge again became different.
Wen Ling thought Cheng Ge would coax him and kiss him, help him brush off the dust on his body, and ask him if the abrasion on his hand hurt.
He wanted to tell Cheng Ge that his head hurt from the fever, to tell Cheng Ge that he missed him very much after not meeting these days, and also to tell Cheng Ge that those people were all inexplicably bullying him. Cheng Ge wasn’t there, and he was very sad and aggrieved.
But how could Cheng Ge help others to question him?
Cheng Geās sentence “You didn’t push her, right?” had already broken Wen Lingās mental defense. How could Cheng Ge be like this?
That sentence with a very poor tone, “Why did you have to push her!” completely burned away Wen Lingās logic.
The people around were all standing on the moral high ground pointing at him, accusing him. He didn’t care. But Cheng Ge actually became one of themāthat was the person he cared about most.
He didn’t know such a Cheng Ge, and didn’t know how to face him. If Cheng Ge became any one of the general public, he couldn’t accept it.
Wen Ling wasn’t a person who adapted to changes. Toward malice, his counterattack was only numbness and coldness, and if that didn’t work, retaliating. But toward the Cheng Ge who questioned him, he couldn’t be numb, wouldn’t retaliate, and thus could only be cold.
“Let go of me.”
Cheng Geās expression stiffened, seeing Wen Lingās gaze gradually turn cold, looking at him as if looking at a stranger, and also hearing Wen Ling say in a deep voice, “Get lost.”
“What do you mean?” Cheng Geās heart was stung, the strength of his grip on Wen Ling not decreasing but increasing.
“Let go of me.” Wen Ling just stared at Cheng Ge like that.
“What on earth do you want to do?” Cheng Geās face also turned cold. “I need an explanation.”
At this moment, Wen Lingās body temperature was high beyond measure, yet his heart was as cold as a piece of ice.
Explanation? How did he want him to explain? Would it just be followed by another question of “Really”?!
Wen Ling used force to shake off Cheng Geās hand, but couldn’t shake it off no matter what. Aggrievement and anger had long since drowned his logic. Wen Ling now only wanted to escape from here.
“Get lost!” Wen Ling pushed Cheng Ge, using all his strength, directly pushing the person to fall to the ground.
For a moment, the whole playground was silent. Wen Ling only heard Cheng Geās hiss of pain.
He didn’t even know what on earth he had done.
But when he saw Cheng Ge frowning and staring at him with a look of astonishment and criticism, his first reaction was to escape.
He only wanted to leave here.
How could Cheng Ge look at him with such a gaze? How could he stand on the side of others? It clearly wasn’t his fault! How did Cheng Ge become like this?!
“Holy shit, he really hits people!”
“Simply crazy. Hey! He pushed someone and still wants to run!”
“Take photos, take photos! Post it on the campus wall!”
All sorts of voices, carrying malice, curiosity, standing high on the moral high ground, gradually became louder.
“Wen Ling!” Looking at Wen Lingās back, Cheng Ge shouted loudly, but he got no reply at all.
At the beginning, Wen Ling was just walking. As the curses became louder, mixed with the voices Wen Ling was familiar with, his pace became faster and faster, faster and faster, eventually running.
Cheng Ge subconsciously wanted to chase, but was drowned by the crowd, pulled by the girl who fell. In front of him was a wall of people. He almost lost sight of Wen Lingās back.
“Cheng Ge, Cheng Ge, Cheng Ge, whatās going on?” Wang Lei frowned. He was built strong, and at this moment he looked fierce; no one dared to block him.
“Iām fine, Iām fine.” Cheng Ge stood up with the help of the hand Wang Lei extended, and also helped the girl up, his speaking speed very urgent: “Help me take this girl to the infirmary to have a look. Give her my contact information. If there are any problems, I will be responsible.” After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and hurriedly chased in the direction of Wen Ling.
Translator’s Note: In China, “upskirting” (å·ęč£åŗ) is a serious accusation often discussed on “campus walls” (ę ”åå¢ – local school social media/confession boards). The tragedy here is the double misunderstanding: Cheng Ge thinks Wen Ling is relapsing into his villainous ways, while Wen Ling feels completely betrayed by the person he loves most. See you in the next chapter to see if Cheng Ge can catch up!
