Chapter 79: The Beast Among Beasts!

"Are you daring to roar at me?" Jiao Nanxin shouted angrily. From childhood to now, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this. This man actually treated her so rudely.

"If you dare to move again, I'll dare to spank you." Tang Zhong threatened.

"You dare."

Slap

Tang Zhong slapped her buttocks. One hand supported her upper body, and the other supported her lower body, making it very inconvenient to spank, so he couldn't use much force.

"Spank me again." Jiao Nanxin didn't expect Tang Zhong to really spank her. The sensitive area felt numb and a bit stimulating, but mostly it was humiliating. She even wanted to kill him.

Slap

"You—"

Slap

"I didn't let you hit me, and you still hit me, you pervert, bastard, scoundrel." Jiao Nanxin was almost driven mad with anger. Her leg was injured and hard to move, so she wrapped her arms around Tang Zhong's neck and bit his shoulder.

"Don't you think it tastes salty?" Tang Zhong asked with a smile. "I wore this shirt yesterday and forgot to wash it."

After hearing Tang Zhong's words, Jiao Nanxin indeed felt the saltiness in her mouth. She bit down hard again, then let go.

"Do you want to go to your dorm or mine?" Tang Zhong asked.

Jiao Nanxin found this question very strange. It was like the scene in TV shows where drunk men and women ask whether to go to your place or mine, and they were still in such an intimate posture.

Jiao Nanxin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to your dorm."

She wanted to return to her own dorm, but if she was carried back by Tang Zhong again, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear her name.

Moreover, those girls liked to sleep in. If she returned at this time, they would definitely expose themselves. Letting them appear in front of a boy without makeup would make them hate her to death.

She thought that the boys' dorm had fewer taboos.

Tang Zhong also thought it was better to carry her to his dorm. If they went to the girls' dorm now, they would definitely still be asleep. As a gentleman, he really didn't want to see exposed thighs, exposed stomachs, and navels, or even more content due to poorly worn or too small underwear.

Li Yu quickly caught up and asked if he needed help.

"Continue exercising. I'll take her back to the dorm and help her with her leg." Tang Zhong said.

Li Yu nodded and ran past them.

When Tang Zhong carried Jiao Nanxin to the boys' dorm, the old man at the gate was practicing Tai Chi in a small garden.

The old man knew Tang Zhong had gone out. Seeing him come back with a girl in his arms, he was shocked and asked, "What's going on? Who is this girl?"

"Old man, she's my classmate. We were running together, and she sprained her leg. I'm taking her up to help her with it."

The old man waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. You need to hurry. It will be harder to treat if it's left too long."

There was an unwritten rule in the school.

Girls could freely enter and exit the boys' dorm, and the old man at the gate wouldn't interfere. However, boys couldn't easily enter the girls' dorm, as the old lady at the gate was very strict.

Perhaps they subconsciously believed that girls entering the boys' dorm couldn't do too much harm, but boys entering the girls' dorm could cause a lot of trouble.

When Tang Zhong kicked open the dorm door, Hua Ming happened to come out of the bathroom.

He was wearing a pair of briefs, bare-chested, with sleepy eyes, and a bewildered look as he watched the scene at the door.

"Damn, did the second brother go out and snatch a beauty?" His first reaction was this.

Tang Zhong didn't have time to think about what he was thinking. He carried Jiao Nanxin to his bed, then grabbed a sheet to wrap Hua Ming's body and pushed him onto his own bed.

"I'll go find some ice." Tang Zhong said.

When a sprain or strain occurs, the tissue inside the injured area has many capillaries ruptured, and blood quickly seeps out, forming local bruising. At this time, if you use medicinal wine to massage or apply heat, it will immediately cause the local blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow, and thus increasing the amount of blood seeping out. Vigorous massage and rubbing will cause new injuries to the already injured tissue, leading to more capillaries rupturing, new bleeding, and worsening local swelling and pain.

Therefore, the best method is to use ice for cold compression, which is why Tang Zhong had to go down to find ice, not to show off in front of Jiao Nanxin.

"Hey—"

Jiao Nanxin's "hey" was just out when Tang Zhong had already closed the door and run out. The remaining "no need to be so troublesome" was left unsaid.

The campus supermarket had just opened, and it didn't sell ice, so Tang Zhong bought two bottles of frozen mineral water.

He went to the bathroom, took his basin, poured hot water into it, and put a towel in to disinfect it.

After disinfection, he poured out the hot water, put the towel in, and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, pouring the water into the basin. Then, he squatted in front of Jiao Nanxin with the basin.

Jiao Nanxin was wearing shorts, with her thighs and calves exposed. Tang Zhong just needed to take off her white running shoes, fold the towel soaked in ice water into a square, and carefully place it on her bruised ankle.

"Ouch—"

Jiao Nanxin drew in a breath of cold air. The injured part of her foot was both cold and painful, making it hard to bear.

"Just bear with it," Tang Zhong comforted her. "Your leg injury from last time wasn't fully healed. You should rest for a while longer. Otherwise, if it gets worse, it will be hard to heal and might even leave a lasting problem."

"I thought it was healed," Jiao Nanxin said, feeling wronged.

The leg injury from last time made her rest for over half a month. She didn't participate in the entire month of military training.

When she felt her leg was completely healed, she wanted to resume her morning running habit. After all, she had persisted for so many years, and giving up halfway would be a waste.

It's easy to give up, but to persist again requires great determination.

But unexpectedly, during today's morning run, she accidentally kicked the exposed water pipe on the playground, causing her to lose balance and fall again.

Fortunately, her body reacted quickly, and she twisted to the left just before falling, landing on the grass. Otherwise, her knees would have been scraped, and her face would have been bruised.

"Did you realize this time that it wasn't fully healed?" Tang Zhong said. He put the warm towel back in the basin, soaked it, and wrung it out.

Tang Zhong folded the towel and placed it on her ankle again, and Jiao Nanxin let out another "ouch."

After several applications, Tang Zhong washed the towel and went to the bathroom with the basin.

He opened his desk drawer and found a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao ointment.

Then, he pulled a chair and sat opposite Jiao Nanxin, placing her calf on his thigh, applying the ointment, and gently massaging it.

Being touched by a man's hands on her feet was more embarrassing for Jiao Nanxin than being spanked. But she knew Tang Zhong was treating her, so she had no reason to object.

Moreover, he looked very serious, not like he was taking advantage of her.

"Your feet are quite nice," Tang Zhong said with a smile.

"Hmph." Jiao Nanxin could only huff. She didn't know how to respond to this.

"Except for the calluses."

"Go to hell." Jiao Nanxin kicked him with her uninjured foot.

"Don't move." Tang Zhong grabbed her other ankle. "Be careful not to strain the injured area."

A cool sensation seeped into her body, making her ankle feel very comfortable. The accumulated bruising was also dispersed.

A few minutes later, Tang Zhong put away the ointment, washed his hands in the bathroom, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Jiao Nanxin nodded.

"Sit here for a moment. I'll go get you breakfast." Tang Zhong said.

Then, he took his food tray to the cafeteria and brought back a large bowl of millet porridge and enough fried cakes for five or six people.

Tang Zhong first served Jiao Nanxin a bowl of porridge and said, "Eat."

Jiao Nanxin glanced at Tang Zhong, didn't hesitate, and started drinking. She also directed Tang Zhong to bring her the fried cakes. She was indeed hungry.

Thinking that he was her grandfather's disciple and thus her junior, it was natural for a junior to run errands for a senior.

With this thought, her appetite grew even more.

Tang Zhong also drank a bowl of porridge and ate a few cakes. After Jiao Nanxin finished her breakfast, he walked over and carried her out.

"What are you doing?" Jiao Nanxin was shocked and shouted.

"Taking you back." Tang Zhong said.

"Put me down. I can walk."

"You can't." Tang Zhong didn't put her down but quickened his pace.

"How can you be so domineering?"

"If you look at it from another angle, you might think I'm very gentle."

"You—" Jiao Nanxin wanted to counter, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't say anything.

Bang

When the dorm door closed, Hua Ming and Liang Tao, who had been pretending to sleep, jumped out of bed.

"Boss, was that girl just now Jiao Nanxin? Was it, was it?" Liang Tao asked anxiously.

"Who else could it be?" Hua Ming cried out. "Heaven and earth, what have I done to deserve this? Sending a beauty to the second brother? If that's the case, why make me so excellent? Isn't this a slap in my face?"

"Didn't you say the second brother and Jiao Nanxin had a bad relationship and almost fought in the classroom?" Liang Tao asked, puzzled.

"That's the truth," Hua Ming said. "I was fooled. We were all fooled. It turns out it was just a trick. They've been together for a long time. Third brother, you can't see from above. They were so intimate, touching her leg, massaging, flirting, and giving each other sweet looks. After that, he carried her off in a princess carry. Tell me, is the second brother a beast or not? We all pretended to be asleep, but he couldn't just do it right there in the dorm?"

"..." Liang Tao thought, you are the beast, the beast among beasts.
