Chapter 0089: 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.

"You have a point!" 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 piece of dried tofu roll and stuffed it into his mouth: "Not bad, pretty good!"

"Hehe, of course, you don't know 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: "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 also raised his bottle, clinking it with Kang Xiaobo's.

Soon, the other dishes Kang Xiaobo 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 pouting 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: "Auntie, how much?"

"Ah, Yun'er, you go and calculate it!" Tang Yun's mother was busy with other tables' orders, 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 to teach you a lesson.

"Ah?" Kang Xiaobo was taken aback. The food 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 crush, so he took out a hundred-yuan note from his pocket to give to Tang Yun.

"Wait a moment," Lin Yi stopped Kang Xiaobo, "I think you made 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, 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; she said eighty yuan because she was annoyed by Lin Yi's polite demeanor and wanted to find fault with him. After several deliberate provocations, Lin Yi showed no reaction, which made her even angrier. She thought, since you like to act so high and mighty, fine, I'll overcharge you to vent my frustration!

However, as soon as Tang Yun said eighty yuan, she was questioned by Lin Yi!

"Yun'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you calculating the bill incorrectly?" Although Tang Yun's mother was busy with the barbecue, she could hear the conversation clearly. Seeing her daughter overcharge the customers, she was a bit angry and scolded her.

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

Her voice was already trembling with tears, and without waiting for Lin Yi to respond, Tang Yun covered her face and ran away, 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 Yun's mother didn't know what was wrong with her daughter. The boy had just helped her, but she was ungrateful and gave him a hard time. Feeling apologetic, she looked at Lin Yi: "Young man, Yun'er is usually not like this. She's very sensible. I'm sorry... This meal is on me, no charge!"

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

Lin Yi didn't wait for Tang Yun's mother to respond. He took two bottles of mineral water from the box next to the stall, gave one to Kang Xiaobo, and said, "Let's go?"

Kang Xiaobo finally came to his senses. He had been stunned by Tang Yun's actions and didn't know what to do. He watched her run away, and only when Lin Yi paid and gave him the water did he say, "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 Yun's mother and followed Lin Yi.

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

"Sure thing!" Kang Xiaobo replied.

What a sensible child, Tang Yun'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 incident is really strange!" Kang Xiaobo caught up with Lin Yi. Looking ahead, Tang Yun was already out of sight, having run far away.

"What's strange or not strange about it?" Lin Yi didn't think too much about it: "You should be more careful, don't let Zou Ruoming cause you trouble!"

"Ah!" Reminded by Lin Yi, Kang Xiaobo remembered 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 much." Lin Yi said.

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

"What a great thing is that?" Lin Yi glared at him: "Today's incident was purely because of your overreaction, and now I have to bear the reputation of a bad boy!"

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

"From the looks of it, she doesn't seem easy to bully. She only bullied me!" Lin Yi cursed inwardly, damn, this Tang girl is a bully!
