CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 35 FATTY WANG

Oh, yesterday was such a pity. We were just over eighty votes away from five hundred. I wonder if we can reach five hundred votes today. If we can hit five hundred in one day, I’ll add an extra Chapter! In this icy and snowy weather, I’m begging for recommendation votes from all directions!

"Aren’t you afraid of being seen?" Xiao Lin teased Xia Xue.

Xia Xue glared at Xiao Lin, glanced outside, and saw a few people still walking around. She didn’t dare to speak too loudly and pretended to speak harshly, "I’ll deal with you when we get home!" But as soon as she said it, her heart skipped a beat. That sounded too ambiguous, didn’t it? Going home? But how else could she have phrased it?

After her words, Xia Xue swayed her hips, lifted her proud chin, and clacked her high heels all the way out. Xiao Lin was left speechless. This woman changes her face faster than turning a page, smiling one second and turning cold the next. This woman is really not to be messed with!

Xiao Lin returned to the school hospital to see if there was anything else he could help with. Now he found that the only person left in the emergency room was himself. After tidying up his things and checking the time, he noticed Xia Xue had been gone for over a minute and was probably already out the hospital gate. He was about to get up and leave.

Just then, he heard the sound of high heels again coming from the same door. Xia Xue reappeared in the emergency room, looking a bit out of breath. Unable to resist teasing, Xiao Lin said, "Dr. Xia, what’s up? Did a wolf chase you or something?"

Xia Xue glanced at Xiao Lin, feeling a bit anxious. After looking outside again, her expression suddenly changed, and she turned to Xiao Lin, saying, "You were right, but it’s not just any wolf—it’s a pervert. If someone comes looking for me, just say I’ve already clocked out!" Having said that, Xia Xue hurried into the small lounge in the emergency room. This was also where the doctors in the emergency room changed their coats. It had a sofa and a coffee table, where they could drink tea and play cards in their free time.

Xia Xue had just entered the lounge when some chaotic footsteps echoed from outside the emergency room door. Xiao Lin frowned. Judging from the footsteps, there seemed to be three people coming. He grabbed his things and was about to leave when the emergency room door swung open.

A fatty appeared at the door, or more precisely, a human ball. He was barely 1.6 meters tall, with a width almost equal to his height. Xiao Lin almost laughed out loud, especially because the fatty was holding a big bouquet of roses, shouting, "Xia Xue, I know you’re in the emergency room, come out quickly!"

Xiao Lin stifled his laughter and took another look at the fatty. When he was about to speak, the fatty glared at him and barked, "What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a handsome guy before? Keep looking and I’ll gouge your eyes out!"

This time Xiao Lin couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The fatty got even more furious and squeezed his chubby body through the emergency room door. Behind him were two young men, both over 1.8 meters tall, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six, with impressive builds—definitely the bodyguard type. Xiao Lin was quite surprised; this fatty seemed to have some backing.

The two bodyguards had steady footsteps, sturdy physiques, and sharp eyes, radiating a natural air of menace. Xiao Lin was inwardly impressed. This chubby fellow must be quite something, even Hua Qingyi didn’t have such a setup. Of course, Xiao Lin knew that with Hua Qingyi’s skills, he naturally didn’t need bodyguards. Anyone coming out of Dragon Soul would only need protection if they wanted to get smacked down by their fathers.

These two were former special forces soldiers, and they weren’t weak. Ordinary families couldn’t hire special forces of this level as bodyguards. Xiao Lin speculated secretly in his mind.

Now that this fatty showed up looking for Xia Xue, Xiao Lin suddenly understood. This must be the "pig" that Xia Xue had mentioned before.

Looking at the fatty’s face, though his face was fat, he did have big eyes. However, with all the fat on his face, his nose seemed very small, but his mouth was quite large, with thick lips giving a bit of a menacing look. Thinking about how a character like Xia Xue having to marry such a "pig," Xiao Lin felt sympathy for Xia Xue for the first time.

No wonder Xia Xue acted like she did that night. Xiao Lin now understood her a lot better.

The fatty was making a fuss and trying to threaten Xiao Lin, but Xiao Lin wasn’t angry. What he relied on, besides his background, was likely his deep-seated inferiority complex. When others glanced at him, he felt they despised him. Well, Xiao Lin did despise him, but it wasn’t for his appearance, rather for his attitude toward people.

"Xia Xue has left for home!" Xiao Lin said without any kindness in his tone, picked up his things, and was about to leave. But the fatty moved directly in front of him, blocking Xiao Lin’s way.

"Do you know that those who deceive me never end up well?" The fatty glared with his big round eyes, looking up at Xiao Lin, and said.

Xiao Lin gave a faint glance at the two bodyguards behind the fatty, then looked down at the fatty and chuckled slightly, "I never thought about what might happen. How about you show me?"

The fatty was taken aback, staring intently at Xiao Lin. The fatty wasn’t an idiot; Xiao Lin’s eyes were calm without the slightest hint of nervousness, suggesting he had some skills. The fatty grinned and said, "Think you’re a hero trying to save a damsel in distress because you might have some skills?"

"Are you scared?" Xiao Lin found himself reassessing the fatty. He had come in so arrogantly, yet now he was so rational; this fatty wasn’t just some useless rich kid after all.

"Suppose you’re good at fighting and can defeat my two bodyguards. Then tomorrow, I’ll bring four. If you win again, the day after, I’ll bring eight!" The fatty spoke with a calm confidence.

Xiao Lin frowned, having no doubt about the fatty’s words. This approach left him wondering what to do. He couldn’t really beat up the fatty until he couldn’t get up, could he? Judging by the fatty’s tone and confidence, he seemed like someone from a major family in Yanjing.

"Your strategy is pretty good, but I’m sure Xia Xue..." Xiao Lin was about to continue when Xia Xue rushed out from inside, walked up to Xiao Lin, wrapped her arms around his, and pressed her chest tightly against his arm. She coldly said to the fatty, "Fatty Wang, I already have a boyfriend, so stop bothering me!"

Fatty Wang wasn’t angry. His demeanor was now far from the domineering one he had when he first arrived. He merely glanced at Xiao Lin and then looked at Xia Xue, saying, "I don’t care if you have a boyfriend—people can get divorced even when they’re married, let alone break up with a boyfriend. It seems your boyfriend has some skills and can fight well. But even if he can beat these two behind me, so what? I can call one hundred or eighty guys at any time. Can your boyfriend fight that many?"

Xiao Lin felt increasingly steady inside. Fatty Wang seemed to be no simple character. Instead of resorting to immediate violence, he was laying out the pros and cons, making him quite a figure.
