The system: ...?! With a numb expression, it pressed the red hang-up button.
...
In the evening, Ming Li and a group of students from Class Seven went to an open-air barbecue restaurant. As soon as Ming Li and her tablemates sat down around a table, several burly men with steel pipes and fierce looks approached, surrounding their table. One of the men roughly grabbed a girl's hand and gruffly said, "Hey cutie, have a drink with us!"
Seeing this, the system in the space happily ran to its small warehouse to find candles. Before long, the system emerged with a pile of candles.
The system stuck the candles into the ground within the space, then produced a box of matches from who-knows-where and lit them up with a few flicks.
The system looked at the burning candles, then at the burly men still molesting the girl. The system pulled out its small stool, set it down, and then grabbed another candle from the side to hold, before settling in to watch the show.
The system thought that if only it had some sunflower seeds, it would be a perfect bystander.
Meanwhile, the girl whose hand was being held by the burly man was frightened and tried to pull her hand away. However, the man's grip was too strong, and she couldn't free her hand.
Seeing this, the boys were not having it. Their female classmates could be bullied by them, but not by others! Thus, all the boys stood up from their seats and unhappily said to the burly men, "What do you think you're doing!"
"Looking for trouble, are we!"
"Let go of Liu Liu!"
...
Each one speaking their piece, the entire barbecue stall became noisy. Amidst this clamor, a loud shout broke through the noise.
"Is being ugly something to be proud of? Want to duel? A group fight is fine too, we have more people anyway!" This was Lin Jue shouting.
After Lin Jue finished shouting, he saw all eyes turn to him.
Lin Jue: ...?! He was stunned. What's wrong?!
Hearing this, Ming Li's lips twitched slightly. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and said faintly, "Alright, sit down."
Upon hearing this, the boys obediently sat down. They hadn't forgotten that their vice-class teacher's combat ability was top-notch. If it came to fighting, perhaps no one in their entire school could defeat her.
Seeing that they had obediently sat down, Ming Li's gaze fell back on the burly man still holding Liu Liu's hand.
As the burly man met Ming Li's gaze, he instantly felt a chill run through his body, his hands and feet turning cold. He swallowed and involuntarily loosened his grip on the girl's hand.
The burly man: ...?! Oh dear! Those eyes are too terrifying! If I keep being looked at like this, I might wet myself.
Cough, cough, cough! Thinking this, the burly man felt a pang of awkwardness.
At this moment, another burly man standing nearby, with an eagle tattoo on his arm, stepped forward. His lecherous gaze fell upon Ming Li, appraising her from head to toe. He then pinched his chin and, completely fearless, spoke to Ming Li, "This girl looks pretty good too. Why don't you have a couple of drinks with your big brother here, and I'll let these brats go, how about it?"
Hearing this, Ming Li's eyes darkened slightly. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she said in a dangerously low tone, "Oh~ is that so? Then how does brother want me to accompany him?"
The burly man, thinking he had a chance, stepped forward and reached out to grab Ming Li's hand. Then, a clear "crack!" sound echoed through the air, followed by a pig-like scream.
The other burly men: ...?!
The onlookers: ...?!
The students of Class Seven: ...?!
They all swallowed in unison. Damn! This woman is too terrifying! Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!
