Chapter 88: A Shy Promise
Oh my, so embarrassing.
Lin Wushuang lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Tianlong. Even she couldn’t believe she could make such a sound.
"Does it feel good?" Chen Tianlong asked with a cheeky smile.
"It’s... it’s okay."
Lin Wushuang replied shyly, feeling more embarrassed in front of a man than ever before. Normally, she’d never let a man help her with something as intimate as a foot massage—what an ambiguous situation!
Chen Tianlong massaged for about three minutes until the swelling had reduced considerably. He then stood up and said, "Stand up and walk a couple of steps. It should be better now."
Upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Lin Wushuang quickly stood up and gradually realized that the pain had indeed vanished.
"Wow, you’re really amazing. My foot doesn’t hurt anymore," Lin Wushuang exclaimed with joy.
"It’s nothing."
Lin Wushuang’s face turned blush-red in an instant as she hastily turned around to sit down. But when she looked up, she saw Chen Tianlong staring at her, and immediately felt awkward.
"Don’t be nervous."
Chen Tianlong smiled faintly and then said seriously, "Actually, I think the underwear you’re wearing now doesn’t suit you. You should consider a bigger size."
Lin Wushuang’s pretty face turned fiery red instantly, but then she cast a murderous glare at him. He had clearly taken advantage of her earlier.
And how could he know her intimate clothing wasn’t a good fit—had he peeked?
"Haha, right, you should go back and take a bath and get some sleep. Almost forgot, go on!" Chen Tianlong quickly chuckled, fearing another outburst from Lin Wushuang.
After Chen Tianlong returned to his room, he lay on the bed, resting his head on his arm, and fell asleep. His mind was occupied with the day’s events. The appearance of the Black Cloud Order in Huaxia signaled that the Black Alliance had started their assault on Huaxia.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Tianlong felt a headache coming on. He quickly sprang up and headed to the bathroom.
Next morning, during the first class.
"Good morning everyone. The monthly exam preparations are starting; you should all begin reviewing. Especially those who usually score at the bottom, you must work hard."
When the homeroom teacher Shen Yan said this, she deliberately glanced at Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly. This beautiful teacher was clearly giving him a hint. But then he recalled that if he ranked in the top five, she promised to give him a kiss.
Thinking about it, Chen Tianlong got a little excited, even though they had already made such requests last night, he wouldn’t mind experiencing it a few more times.
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s mischievous look, Shen Yan seemed to recall something, her pretty face blushed slightly. But since they were in a classroom, she had to keep it together, quickly taking a deep breath to stabilize her emotions before starting the lesson.
"Chen Tianlong, we need to study hard from today onwards and earn good grades," Lin Wushuang turned around and told Chen Tianlong seriously after class.
"Haha, don’t worry, Wushuang. But be careful, if I snatch the first place from you, don’t blame me," Chen Tianlong joked.
"Hmph, bragging already? You think you can get first place?" Lin Wushuang glared at Chen Tianlong, not believing he could achieve first place while frequently skipping classes and neglecting homework.
"If I manage to get first place, will you give me a little reward?" Chen Tianlong cheekily grinned, glancing at Lin Wushuang’s chest.
"Oh, what’s the reward?"
Lin Wushuang could easily sense Chen Tianlong’s underlying intentions. This guy was always so interested in matters like this.
But for some reason, Lin Wushuang felt a bit excited. It certainly meant she was very attractive to Chen Tianlong and she should feel proud.
"What do you think?" Chen Tianlong smirked and raised his eyebrows playfully.
"..."
Lin Wushuang’s face flushed again, but trying to maintain composure, she shot Chen Tianlong a glare and said, "Always thinking about such nonsense, annoying!"
After calming down a little, Lin Wushuang blushed and said, "If you really get first place, I’ll... I’ll agree to do something for you."
Chen Tianlong grinned broadly, showing off his gleaming white teeth, "Alright, no problem."
Chen Tianlong understood that for a shy girl like Lin Wushuang to make such a decision was not easy. He was adept at handling such situations—he had to take it slow; impatience wouldn’t pay off.
In the back of the classroom, Mo Shaoyun and a few of his followers were staring blankly at Chen Tianlong in the front.
"Young Master Mo, we must avenge ourselves. This Chen Tianlong is too arrogant; we have to humble him, or the reputation of the four Crazy Young Masters in South Sea No.1 Middle School will be tarnished."
Zhou Kang couldn’t handle Chen Tianlong himself and had to rely on Mo Shaoyun to come up with a plan since he was a senior member at South Sea’s Martial Arts Hall and likely had some methods.
"Ugh, don’t even mention it. I heard even Zhou Qianghan from the Flying Eagle Gang couldn’t deal with him. We’d be asking for trouble if we tried."
Mo Shaoyun was reluctant and cowardly; Chen Tianlong was just too strong, and he couldn’t understand what happened that day—how Chen Tianlong managed to take down Zhou Qianghan—it truly baffled him.
"Okay, should we just let him go then?" Zhou Kang was clearly displeased, having bottled up frustration all month but finding no outlet.
"Wait! Wait for the right opportunity, and then we’ll take him down in one go." Mo Shaoyun was also holding a grudge; the girl he liked was taken away, yet he had no way to fight back.
"Fine."
Zhou Kang sighed, left the classroom, and went outside to smoke.
The last class in the afternoon was self-study, and Lin Wushuang was called to a meeting by the homeroom teacher, leaving Chen Tianlong bored. He remembered the promises he made to both Lin Wushuang and Shen Yan, and he felt he needed to work hard.
His learning abilities were strong, being a memory prodigy from Lotus Village. At the age of ten, his memory was exceptional though not exactly photographic, but it was impressive enough.
Carrying his math and English textbooks, Chen Tianlong wandered through the hall with his hands in his pockets, heading to the library, knowing that the resources there were more complete.
"Chen Tianlong..."
A familiar voice suddenly called from behind, and Chen Tianlong turned around quickly to see Lin Wushuang holding some books to her chest and hurriedly catching up.
"Huh? Young lady, weren’t you going to a meeting?" Chen Tianlong was taken aback and asked.
