Jiang Ling couldn't help but complain, "666, why is it another 'hero saves the damsel in distress' moment?"

Despite his inner grumbling, he was decisive in his actions—thanks to his previous experience, he had already prepared a disguise.

The paper bag with the words "fried noodles" printed on it was put over his head again.

"My choice is... three!"

……

Inside the restroom, Yan Youyou stared blankly at the figure that suddenly appeared at the door, momentarily forgetting to cover up her disheveled state.

"Who are you?" Liu Li wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, she was even more annoyed at being disturbed and used her usual title.

"My boyfriend is Wang Jiahao! If you know what's good for you, get lost!"

Without saying a word, Jiang Ling slammed the bathroom door shut.

In an instant, the enclosed space was left with only an imposing cardboard box man and a group of blustering but cowardly delinquent girls.

Alan sensed something was wrong and quietly tugged at Liu Li's sleeve, whispering, "Boss, things seem bad. Maybe we should..."

Liu Li irritably shook her off, looked Jiang Ling up and down disdainfully, and sneered, "Who are you trying to scare? My boyfriend, Wang Jiahao, has more than twenty brothers under him, and more than fifty underlings in the junior high school!"

"What good is it if you're a one-man fighter?"

"More than seventy men, it wouldn't take you a second to be crippled!"

Jiang Ling asked calmly, "So?"

"So?" Liu Li raised her voice, "So you better get the hell out of here! Wearing a tattered hood and trying to be a hero saving a damsel in distress? Don't you even know your own limitations!"

"You can't figure out the difference in strength, but you dare to challenge me? My brother Hao will teach you a lesson in no time!"

Jiang Ling retorted with a cold laugh, "So, where is your brother Jiahao now?"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ling suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Li's ponytail like an iron clamp. The veins on his forearm bulged, and with a little force, he lifted her off the ground as if she were a chick.

The iconic scene where Black Sperm takes down Atomic Samurai is recreated!

"Ah!" Liu Li screamed in pain, struggling and cursing, "Are you deaf? My boyfriend is Wang Jiahao!"

She was both shocked and furious. How could someone remain unmoved upon hearing Wang Jiahao's name at Shilu University?

This guy must be a reckless fool who doesn't know his own limitations!

However, Jiang Ling didn't care about Jiahao and Xinyi. She slapped Liu Li's face, which was covered in makeup, with a loud "smack"!

"Rotten crotch, thinks she's invincible just because she found a gigolo boyfriend?"

Liu Li was completely stunned, her cheeks burning with pain—he…he actually dared to lay a hand on her?!

*Slap!* Another slap landed on the other side of the face.

"You dare to lead a group to bully your classmates?!"

"Stripping you naked and filming you? How could a student like you have such a vicious mind!"

"Waaah..."

The intense pain and humiliation brought tears to Liu Li's eyes, washing away her thick makeup. Her face, covered in foundation, was patchy with white and yellow marks, making her look utterly disheveled.

"If you've got the guts, make me call for help!" Liu Li remained defiant.

"Idiot!" Jiang Ling looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and slapped her again without any politeness.

The girls standing nearby were dumbfounded, speechless.

Alan swallowed hard, quietly moved his feet, shielded everyone in front of him, and hid in the toilet stall.

"And you guys, aiding and abetting evil, do you even have the demeanor of students?" Jiang Ling glared fiercely at the other delinquents.

The combination of ferocity and invisible oppression terrified them, their faces paling, their hearts feeling as if they had been brutally crushed by Dio's steamroller.

Many young women were so frightened that their legs went weak.

"You just wait! Dare to leave your name? I'll have Brother Hao and his brothers kill you!" Liu Li remained defiant. She might not be good at anything else, but she was good at talking.

This was the only reason Wang Jiahao saw her – Shi Lu had a stubborn streak.

"And you, Yan Youyou! You can forget about going to school in peace from now on. I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Jiang Ling took a deep breath, suppressing her irritation, and said coldly, "Issue a challenge. After school today, in the pavilion in the school's grove. Call anyone you like."

He knew that if he didn't completely destroy the basis for her arrogance, she would relentlessly pester him like a mad dog.

This was just a coincidence. What if they bully Yan Youyou again next time I'm not around?

Upon hearing the words "issue a challenge," a glint of light flashed in Liu Li's eyes, her face swollen like a pig's head. She shouted, "Fine! You bastard, don't you dare run away..."

Jiang Ling was too lazy to argue with the idiot, so she simply kicked the toilet door open.

Yes, it was kicked to pieces.

Although it was made of sheet metal wrapped in foam, the door panel, which was nearly two fingers thick, was shattered by his kick!

"Get out!" Jiang Ling said coldly.

Young delinquent girls: ...

Liu Li: ∑(❍ฺд❍ฺllll)

Looking at the shattered door panels scattered all over the floor, Liu Li finally felt a sense of fear and subconsciously swallowed.

hiss……

Brother Jiahao... should be able to beat... him, right?

At least... at least a 30/70 split, right?!

Alan reacted quickly, taking advantage of Jiang Ling's inattention, grabbing the still-dazed Liu Li and running away in a flash.

Seeing this, the other girls scattered like monkeys fleeing a collapsing tree, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Jiang Ling then took off her coat and handed it to Yan Youyou, who was still in shock.

"Put them on."

Yan Youyou suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was almost half-naked. Her icy white cheeks instantly flushed red.

She quickly wrapped herself tightly in her large coat, her voice trembling slightly: "Th-thank you...excuse me, classmate, may I ask your name?"

"You can call me Cardboard Knight," Jiang Ling said, deliberately keeping her voice cold and even a little distant.

After all, the person has been saved, and now it's time to figure out how to reduce the positive impression they've gained.

As we all know, the lotus that rises from the mud unsullied, the poor yet resilient high-mountain flower, the classic commoner female second lead in online novels... are often conquered by gentle and warm men, but another, colder "ice" will only make her close herself off even more.

Therefore, treating them gently is absolutely not an option; one must be cold and keep one's distance.

"Hmm..." Yan Youyou maintained her composure, only lowering her head.

Pfft... Cardboard Knight? That name... is so cringey.

But after all, he was her savior, so she had to desperately hold back her laughter. She tried her best to purse her lips.

Jiang Ling noticed Yan Youyou lower her head and secretly rejoiced: "Looks like pretending to be aloof is working."

His gaze unconsciously drifted downwards...

The polka-dot lingerie, soaked with water, subtly outlined the girl's youthful and delicate curves.

Brother Yun: I have a plan!

Jiang Ling: No way!

goodong...

Jiang Ling swallowed hard, feeling her heart skip a beat. She quickly turned her head away, her tone slightly stiff: "You...you should straighten your clothes first. Then I'll take you home."

"Hmm..." The ice queen blushed slightly, clutched her chest, and fled into the toilet stall.

After a while, Yan Youyou tidied herself up and came out. She saw Jiang Ling leaning against the wall with a cigarette between her fingers, and her mood calmed down for some reason.

"Do you have class this afternoon? Or should I just take you to your classroom?" Jiang Ling stubbed out her cigarette and took out her phone.

"By the way, can we add each other on LINE?"

"Huh? This..." Yan Youyou hesitated for a moment, then took out her phone, her voice very soft, "I... don't have LINE."

Jiang Ling took a closer look and couldn't help but slap her forehead. Why was she still using one of those old-fashioned button phones?

"Then leave your phone number. Add me on WeChat: +8613XXXXXX, and hurry up!"

For some reason, although the "cardboard knight" always spoke in a cold tone and his attitude was not friendly, Yan Youyou felt a long-lost sense of security from the bottom of her heart when she was by his side.

Often, when people encounter unexpected situations, their emotions do not immediately collapse.

Once the danger has passed and the tense nerves relax, lingering fear and resentment will surge into the heart like a tide.

"Thank you... thank you so much..." Yan Youyou's nose tingled, and the tears she had been holding back for so long finally slipped down her cheeks uncontrollably.

The image of the ice queen crying silently creates a stark contrast, making her all the more pitiful.

Huh? Why are you crying?

Jiang Ling was taken aback, a little confused. Had she been too rude and made the girl cry?

However, this is precisely when girls are most vulnerable.

If you comfort her and offer words of comfort, you can enter her heart and become the white moonlight in her memory.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ling had no intention of becoming Yan Youyou's ideal woman, and it was even less likely that she would continue to increase her affection for her.

So he hardened his heart, offering no comfort, but simply turned away and said in a tone that sounded somewhat cold:

"Keep up."

Ah, what a cold-hearted man!
