Chapter 089: What's the Matter with You

"Her looks, if not the most beautiful I've ever seen, are at least among the top. How could I not remember her?" Lin Yi shrugged, saying somewhat innocently.

"That's true!" Kang Xiaobo nodded in agreement after hearing Lin Yi's words. Tang Yun's beauty was the kind that one wouldn't easily forget after a single glance. Otherwise, so many boys wouldn't have been so captivated by her.

"Whatever, let's eat. I'm starving!" Lin Yi grabbed a dry tofu roll without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth. "Not bad, pretty good!"

"Hehe, of course, have you seen who's mom made it!" Kang Xiaobo chuckled contentedly after hearing Lin Yi's praise.

"..." Lin Yi glanced at Kang Xiaobo, not knowing what to say. "It sounds like you're talking about your mom?"

"Cough, cough..." Kang Xiaobo coughed awkwardly. "Let's eat, let's eat! Come on, boss, I'll toast to you!" Saying that, Kang Xiaobo raised his beer.

Lin Yi smiled and raised his bottle, clinking it with Kang Xiaobo's.

Soon, the other dishes Kang Xiaobo had ordered started to arrive. However, Tang Yun seemed to be deliberately causing trouble, either slamming the skewers on the table or bumping into Lin Yi on purpose.

This little beauty is quite interesting? Lin Yi looked at the puffed-up Tang Yun and found it somewhat amusing. She wants to drive me away!

There was a big class in the evening, so Lin Yi and Kang Xiaobo didn't drink much. After finishing the bottle in their hands and clearing the table, Kang Xiaobo got up to pay the bill: "Auntie, how much?"

"Ah, Yun, go and calculate it!" Tang's mother was still busy with the barbecue from other tables, so she sent Tang Yun to do the calculation.

"Eighty yuan!" Tang Yun came to Lin Yi's table, secretly glaring at him, thinking, I'll overcharge you, just wait and see.

"Ah?" Kang Xiaobo was taken aback. The things he and Lin Yi ordered shouldn't cost more than forty yuan. How could it be eighty? But seeing Tang Yun's determined look, he didn't want to argue with his goddess, so he took out a hundred-yuan note from his pocket and was about to hand it to Tang Yun.

"Wait a moment," Lin Yi stopped Kang Xiaobo. "I think there's a mistake. I calculated it just now: twenty lamb skewers are twenty yuan, two lamb chops are eight yuan, two chicken necks are four yuan, two tofu rolls are two yuan, and two bottles of beer are four yuan. It should be thirty-eight yuan in total, right?"

"This..." Tang Yun didn't expect Lin Yi to calculate it so meticulously. Her face turned red, and she felt a bit uncomfortable. She wasn't greedy, but she was annoyed by Lin Yi's polite demeanor and wanted to find a way to expose him. After several deliberate provocations, Lin Yi didn't react, which made Tang Yun even angrier. She thought, since you like to act so cool, fine, I'll overcharge you to get back at you!

However, as soon as Tang Yun announced the eighty-yuan figure, she was questioned by Lin Yi!

"Yun, what's wrong with you? Why are you calculating the bill incorrectly?" Although Tang's mother was busy with the barbecue, she was close enough to hear the conversation. Seeing her daughter overcharge the customers, she became angry and scolded her.

Tang Yun was already upset with Lin Yi and now being scolded by her mother, she couldn't hold back her embarrassment. She pouted, looked up at Lin Yi with eyes full of fire, and wished she could burn him to death: "I don't want your money, just go! Consider it my treat, I don't want to see you anymore!"

Her voice was already tinged with tears, and without waiting for Lin Yi to respond, Tang Yun covered her face and ran off quickly, not even saying goodbye to her mother, heading towards the school.

Tang Yun's strong reaction left Lin Yi stunned. He didn't expect her to have such a fiery side.

"This child!" Tang's mother didn't know what was wrong with her daughter today. The boy had helped her out, but she not only didn't show gratitude but also gave him a bad attitude. This made her feel very awkward. She looked at Lin Yi apologetically: "Young man, Yun is usually not like this. She's very sensible. I'm sorry... This meal is on me, no need to pay!"

"The money should still be paid," Lin Yi smiled and said it was no big deal. He felt in his pocket and found exactly forty yuan in change, which he gave to Tang's mother: "Here's forty. I'm a bit thirsty, so I'll take two bottles of mineral water. No need to give me change."

Lin Yi didn't wait for Tang's mother to respond and took two bottles of mineral water from the box beside the stall, giving one to Kang Xiaobo and saying, "Let's go?"

Kang Xiaobo finally came to his senses. He had been stunned by Tang Yun's actions, not knowing what to do. He just watched her run off, covering her face. It wasn't until Lin Yi paid the bill and gave him the mineral water that he said, "Boss, why did you pay? We agreed I would pay!"

"Hehe, it's all the same. You can treat me next time!" Lin Yi had already turned to walk towards the school. Kang Xiaobo quickly said goodbye to Tang's mother and followed Lin Yi.

"Come again next time!" Tang's mother nodded warmly at Kang Xiaobo.

"Sure, I will!" Kang Xiaobo responded.

What a sensible child. Tang's mother sighed, looking at Lin Yi's back. She didn't know what was wrong with her precious daughter. It seemed unlikely that these two would come back again!

"Boss, today's events are really strange!" Kang Xiaobo caught up with Lin Yi. Looking ahead, Tang Yun was already out of sight, clearly having run far away.

"What's strange about it?" Lin Yi didn't think too much about it. "You should be careful, though, so that Zou Ruoming doesn't cause you trouble!"

"Ah!" Reminded by Lin Yi, Kang Xiaobo remembered that he had offended Zou Ruoming and his gang: "Boss, don't scare me. I just offended Zhong Pinliang and now Zou Ruoming. How can I survive?"

"Don't be too conspicuous. As long as I'm with you, they won't do anything," Lin Yi said.

"That's true, but boss, the news of you slapping Zou Ruoming will spread quickly. You're about to become one of the four notorious students in the school!" Kang Xiaobo chuckled.

"What a great thing, huh?" Lin Yi glared at him. "Today's incident was purely because you acted rashly, and now I have to bear the reputation of a notorious student!"

"Come on, boss, could you bear to see Tang Yun being bullied?" Kang Xiaobo smiled flatteringly.

"From the way she acted, she doesn't seem like someone who can be easily bullied. She just bullied me!" Lin Yi cursed in his heart. Damn, this Tang girl is a bully!
