34. Testing

At Yun Yi's startled cry, the passersby around them couldn't help looking over.

A few looked envious, while most looked disdainful.

Yimo immediately stepped in front of Yun Yi, clamped a hand over her mouth, and hurried her toward a less crowded place.

Yimo wasn't particularly sturdy, but she was broader than Yun Yi. With an arm around her as they walked, she looked as if she were holding a hostage.

Well, a hostage who was the recently much-talked-about Unparalleled Hero Yun Yi, who was about to rival the Peerless Hero!

Half-pushed and half-held against Yimo, Yun Yi's face had turned completely red. She could barely breathe, her eyes were wide, and she was panicking like crazy!

"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"

Only after they reached a secluded alley did Yun Yi react. She shoved Yimo away and, blushing, stammered, "Teacher Saitama, please behave yourself!"

Yimo planted both hands on her hips and said indignantly, "Come on, we're in the middle of the street!"

"Sure, there are Young Masters who don't care what other people think and proudly go to Flower and Willow Lane, bragging about it everywhere."

"But you're the famous Unparalleled Hero now. Could you try to be mindful of your image?"

"Otherwise, after all the effort it took to build your reputation, people might criticize you for your conduct. Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

Yimo spoke quickly. Then she glanced at Yun Yi, who was still breathing a little heavily, and got the urge to tease her. Putting on a serious face, she said, "Besides, we're both men. What's wrong with me putting an arm around your shoulder?"

"Could it be that, Peerless Hero, you're...!"

Yun Yi waved her hands frantically. "No, no!"

Yimo grinned. "No what?"

I haven't even said anything yet!

Yun Yi went blank.
