Wei Liang immediately became furious and started tugging harder at the Plastic Air Curtain, swearing as he did:
"Fuck, why does this curtain feel kind of heavy? Is it broken?"
He yanked violently at the Plastic Air Curtain, inadvertently wrapping it around the Green Apron Chef's head and dragging the Green Apron Chef straight down from its upside-down perch...
"This thing is garbage!" Anger surged through Wei Liang, and he kicked the Plastic Air Curtain, striking the freshly fallen Green Apron Chef through it-right in the face, as luck would have it.
With a thud, the Green Apron Chef slid across the floor, spraying half-chewed tomato everywhere.
"Tch, looks like it really is broken!" Wei Liang bent down to rub his ankle, grimacing and sucking in a breath. "All tingly and numb. Like kicking a fucking steel plate..."
Lin Yi: "..."
Lin Yi quietly wiped a thin sheen of sweat from his forehead. With an intensely strange look in his eyes, he slowly withdrew his gaze from the unrecognizable, humanoid-spider-shaped Green Apron Chef, muttering inwardly:
Please... I don't think you're the one who ran into a steel plate...
"What are you standing around for? Aren't we eating?" Wei Liang elbowed Lin Yi speechlessly and jerked his head toward the Cafeteria.
Li Huiyuan was also stunned by Wei Liang's unfathomable unorthodox tricks. She pulled her feet straight out of that mire-like state of sinking through layers, inwardly overwhelmed and exclaiming that she had misjudged him. Wei Liang really was a top-tier expert...
Only then did she look at Lin Yi. "Lin Yi, I'm all right now."
"Good. Let's go." Lin Yi said nothing more and led Li Huiyuan into the Student Dining Hall.
The moment he entered, he glanced at the Grandfather Clock on the wall.
16:13.
He checked his watch
