Wait for Me to Come Save You

Seeing Wei Lan surrounded, Su Ke's handsome face turned livid. He told himself he had to help her. He couldn't just stand by and let those thugs humiliate her. She was his friend..

But there were three of them, and they were all thugs who loved a fight. Su Ke had never even been in a fight before, and there was no way he could win against those numbers.

If someone went with him, maybe they could drive the thugs off! Su Ke thought, quickly scanning the crowd around him. If any of his classmates were there, they could band together and save Wei Lan.

Just then, Su Ke spotted Wang Xiaogang watching from not far off to his right. Without another thought, he parked his bike to one side and ran over.

"Wang Xiaogang, let's go help Wei Lan!" It was rare for Su Ke to speak to someone first, let alone ask for help. But this time, his voice wasn't a whisper, and he didn't blush. He looked Wang Xiaogang straight in the eye.

"Huh? What do you want?" Wang Xiaogang jumped at Su Ke's sudden appearance, but quickly recovered and waved his hands emphatically. "What are you talking about? If you want to go, go by yourself. They're thugs—they might pull a knife!" With that, he ran off without looking back.

The first person Su Ke had wanted to recruit had run away. Though he'd failed, it still made Su Ke hesitate. Wang Xiaogang was so burly, and he was the class's PE representative. He shouldn't have been so cowardly. Could those thugs really be carrying knives?

If Su Ke charged over there, forget whether he could save Wei Lan—he'd be lucky if all he got was a beating. If they actually stabbed him, how would he explain that to his parents?

He looked over again. Wei Lan was so frantic now that she was crying. She couldn't even push her bike, and someone had grabbed her arm. The thug was getting increasingly lewd. "Hey, beautiful, don't cry! Come on, let big brother wipe your tears!"

With tears streaming down her face, Wei Lan looked around at her classmates, only to see faces that were either cold or gleeful. Su Ke couldn't hold back any longer. He tossed his bike aside, turned, and ran straight into the school..

"Military Boxing! I have a mission reward for Military Boxing Mastery. If I get it, I'll be able to help Wei Lan!" Su Ke muttered as he ran.

The instructor had taught them the Military Boxing routine during boot camp, but Su Ke didn't think the reward from the Flower Picking System would be some empty, flashy routine. Besides, it said "Mastery."

To complete the mission, he first had to find Li Feifei. Luckily, the post about the school's top ten beauties on No. 17 High School's Tieba had detailed introductions to each of them.

It had only been a little while since school let out, so Li Feifei had to still be in her classroom, Class 2 of Senior Year 3, studying. She was probably avoiding the lunchtime rush at the cafeteria. Su Ke ran as fast as he could, praying that Li Feifei was still in the classroom.

Five minutes. In just five minutes, Su Ke had nearly run himself ragged. Panting, he reached the door of Class 2 of Senior Year 3 and leaned against the frame to look inside.

Sure enough, Li Feifei was sitting quietly in the classroom, head bowed as she worked on a calculation. She had tucked her smooth, long hair behind her ear, her expression serious and focused.

"Li Feifei!" Su Ke called from the doorway.

Li Feifei had been incredibly annoyed over the past two days. Someone had touched her butt on the way to class. Even though the boy hadn't seemed to do it on purpose, what angered her was that he hadn't apologized and had even denied it. He had no sense of responsibility at all.

In a fit of anger, she'd posted about it on Tieba, which had at least let her vent. But who would've thought the guy would show up again at noon today, claiming he was returning the bra she'd dropped downstairs? Just thinking about him holding her bra in both hands and staring at her blankly made her feel irritated.

She hadn't been able to focus on her classes all afternoon because of that. She'd planned to study and review her lessons after school, but just as she'd gotten into the swing of it, someone interrupted her. Frowning, Li Feifei raised her head.

A boy stood in the doorway. With the light behind him, Li Feifei could only make out his vague outline. But the longer she looked, the more familiar he seemed, and she found herself standing up without realizing it.

She walked toward the classroom door, still peering at him. The boy was around 176 centimeters tall, with short hair and a handsome face. He seemed to have just finished exercising, because his chest was still heaving. Then it hit Li Feifei: this was the pervert who'd groped her butt and picked up her bra!

"You?" Li Feifei stepped out of the classroom, frowning. "How dare you show your face here?"

Su Ke tried to steady his heartbeat and took a deep breath. Seeing someone passing by Class 2 of Senior Year 3, he gritted his teeth. "I'm here to ask you for help?"

"What for?" Li Feifei hadn't expected that answer and looked confused.

"You posted about me on Tieba, didn't you?" The passerby was strolling over at a snail's pace, even glancing at Su Ke and Li Feifei, so Su Ke could only blurt out something to stall.

"Yes!" Li Feifei lifted her chin, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth. She thought her plan had worked and made him lose his nerve.

"But I don't think I—I really touched your, um..." Su Ke really wanted to touch the girl's butt so he could hurry off and save Wei Lan, but that passerby was so irritating, moving as slowly as a snail.

"So what? I felt you touch my, um..." Even Li Feifei, who was usually outgoing, couldn't help feeling shy when talking about this. As she spoke, she lowered her head and looked at her shoes.

"So, so I think..." Su Ke spoke very quietly and slowly.

"So what?" Li Feifei instinctively thought the boy was about to apologize. If he did, she'd accept his apology, considering he'd returned her bra. She wouldn't keep scowling at him. Tilting her head, she looked at Su Ke.

"So!" Su Ke saw from the corner of his eye that the damn passerby had finally gone. There was no one else in the hallway now, just him and Li Feifei, so he continued, "So I have to actually touch it!"

Before Su Ke had even finished speaking, there was a soft slap. His right hand shot out with lightning speed and landed on Li Feifei's round butt once more. He pulled it back immediately, then took off running while Li Feifei was still stunned.

"Ah! Stop right there!" Li Feifei shouted after him, but Su Ke really couldn't grant her wish. In an instant, he was gone.

As he ran toward the school gates, he entered the Flower Picking System's space. Sure enough, the words on the electronic screen had changed.

"Mission: Touch Li Feifei's butt (Complete); Reward: Military Boxing Mastery."

"Claim reward!"

Su Ke immediately chose to claim it. Only then did he notice that, at some point, another mission had appeared on the electronic screen:

"Mission: Help Wei Lan out of her predicament; Reward: Piano Mastery (Beginner)."

Su Ke didn't have time to care about piano or anything else. He had only one thought: Wei Lan, wait for me to come save you!
