No one responded to her. But when she tried to walk away again, the group of men continued to block her way.
Shi Yao frowned, but she still maintained her politeness. “Students, can you let me through?”
Someone sneered disdainfully at her words.
Shi Yao could tell that it was Qin Yiran, and the frown on her forehead deepened. With a group of men blocking her front and her sides, it was inevitable that she would feel a little irritated and frightened. As such, her voice also turned a little hostile, “Can you step aside?”
But still, no one responded to her.
However, the brawny, dark-skinned man standing in front of Shi Yao began making his way towards her.
Shi Yao bit her lips. In her peripheral vision, she noticed that another man at the side had started approaching her too. She subconsciously took a step back, only to sense that there was a person closing in from behind as well.
When the man before her was only half a meter away, Shi Yao shouted, “Get lost!”
But the brawny, dark-skinned man showed no signs of stopping his footsteps. Slowly but surely, he was closing in on her.
Just as the brawny, dark-skinned man was right before Shi Yao, a bottle of mineral water abruptly flew over and struck the back of his head with pinpoint accuracy. Amidst that man’s furious cursing, a refreshing and deep voice called out, “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear her words? She told you to get lost!”
Right after those words were spoken, the brawny, dark-skinned man turned around while clutching the back of his head.
His act of turning around had opened up Shi Yao’s field of view, allowing her to see the owner of that voice.
The slender-built Lin Jiage had already changed out of his white sportswear from earlier in the afternoon and was now wearing a simple white shirt and jeans instead. This appearance made him look far more refined and noble.
However, his expression didn’t look too good. Within his cold, lofty eyes, one could see his deep, burning fury.
Seeing that the man standing before Shi Yao still wasn’t giving way, he spoke once more, but this time, his tone was far more wrathful, “I’ll only repeat myself once more. Get lost!”
The brawny, dark-skinned man finally spoke up, and his voice was just as angry as well, “What will you do if I don’t get lost—”
Before the man could finish his sentence, Lin Jiage had already smacked him to the ground with a single punch.
Shi Yao’s body jolted in fear. In the next second, she found her wrist being forcefully grabbed by Lin Jiage. His tall figure quickly stood in front of her, separating her from Qin Yiran’s group.
“You bastard!” After being knocked to the ground, the man stood back up and started cursing furiously. “Lin Jiage, don’t you dare get all arrogant with me! Do you think that I’m scared of you? I’m telling you right now, my eyes are set on that woman behind you, so—”
“Try it then!” Just like before, Lin Jiage interjected before the man could finish his words.
Behind him, Shi Yao could clearly feel a domineering air around him. It formed a stark contrast with his usual calm and refined appearance.
“She’s with me!”
His words were grim and forceful, and there was a chilling intent within it that sent shivers down one’s spine.
“If you’re not afraid of death, then go ahead and try.”
Perhaps it was due to Lin Jiage’s overwhelmingly powerful disposition—the brawny, dark-skinned man didn’t respond to his threat.
However, the two men still continued to glare at each other, neither one willing to budge.
The atmosphere turned a little tense.
Shi Yao couldn’t help but worry that they would start fighting with one another. There was no way Lin Jiage could stand against all of them by himself…
