Chapter 10: Ashamed to Show My Face

  This sudden outbreak of fighting lasted less than 5 minutes before being discovered by the school security team. The security guards, wearing red armbands, quickly intervened and separated the two people who were tangled together. In a state of fury, Lu Yan's combat power was naturally not something that Wang Tao and his ilk could match, as they only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong. Seeing Lu Yan's desperate appearance, those few friends of Wang Tao just symbolically shouted a few times and made some gestures. Only Wang Tao had really taken a beating from Lu Yan, and although he was still cursing, his clothes were covered in dirt and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, clearly showing that he had been badly beaten.

  Lu Yan's condition was slightly better than Wang Tao's, but his T-shirt also had several clear footprints on it, and there were a few bloodstains on his neck, he also got hurt in this fight.

  "You're all about to graduate, and yet you still can't stop fighting. I don't know if you find it meaningful to fight every day." The security team's Captain Song said with a bad tone, looking at Lu Yan and Wang Tao. In Wucheng University, Captain Song may not have an impression on most students, but the two people in front of him were extremely familiar. Wang Tao, this kid, had been summoned by Captain Song to the security team countless times over the four years of university due to fighting, but most of the time it was because they bullied others. To be honest, seeing Wang Tao's miserable state now, Captain Song felt a little happy in his heart. As for Lu Yan, he hadn't participated in many fights, but almost every time he was found at the scene of the fight, and when asked about the situation, it turned out that he hadn't actually done anything. In fact, he didn't need to do anything, with Wang Tao's gang charging forward, Lu Yan just flapped his arms like a goose.

  "Captain Song, Lu Yan hit me first!" Wang Tao shouted loudly, covering half of his face and pointing at Lu Yan.

  At this time, Lu Yan didn't have the heart to care about Wang Tao. After regaining his composure, Lu Yan suddenly discovered that Lin Xiao Jun had been standing beside him all along. In this situation, Lu Yan didn't know what he should say to Lin Xiao Jun.

  "Haha, aren't you guys in cahoots? Which act are you performing today? Why are you fighting again?" Captain Song said indifferently.

  "Damn it! Who's in cahoots with this corrupt official's son? If I hadn't had a few drinks and wasn't off my game, just you wait and see how I'd deal with this poseur!" Wang Tao had just been beaten up but still didn't know his place, and now that he saw the security team was around, he couldn't keep up his arrogant act.

  When Lu Yan heard Wang Tao's words, he suddenly got angry again and really wanted to rush over and give that guy a few more punches. However, this time he restrained himself, clenched his fists tightly, turned around and said to Captain Song: "Captain Song, today's matter is our fault, we've caused you trouble, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

  "Let's go, let's go." Captain Song waved his hand. From Wang Tao's words just now, he had already roughly understood what was going on today. Fighting in college was nothing new, and Lu Yan and Wang Tao were not seriously injured either. They were all about to graduate, so Captain Song naturally didn't want to get involved anymore.

  "Hey, don't go, Lu! You can't just leave, I'm not done with you yet!" Wang Tao shouted at Luyan as he tried to walk away.

  Lu Yan didn't bother with Wang Tao anymore and walked straight towards Lin Xiaojun who was not far away.

  "Disperse, disperse. Everyone go back to their own homes." Captain Song yelled, and after finishing, he pushed Wang Tao: "Go, how is it? Do you want to fight again? If you fight again, I'll send the two of you to the teaching office and have your diplomas withheld."

  The security team left, Wang Tao and his group left, the onlookers also left. At this time, only Lu Yan and Lin Xiaoqun were left by the lake, standing face to face with each other, neither of them speaking a word.

  "Xiao Yun, I was too impulsive just now." Finally, it was Lu Yan who broke the silence.

  Lin Xiao Yun raised her head and looked at Lu Yan: "Are you okay? You looked a bit scary just now."

  "I'm fine, what happened just now —" Lu Yan hastily took over the conversation.

  "Lu Yan, you used to fight a lot before, didn't you?" Lin Xiaoyun interrupted Lu Yan's explanation.

  For Lin Xiaoyun's question, Lu Yan was a little dazed for a moment. As for his previous behavior, Lu Yan didn't want Lin Xiaoyun to know from the bottom of his heart. After all, thinking about it now, it wasn't a very glorious thing to do.

  "Actually, I've seen you fight before." Lin Xiaoyun said in a low voice. "It was just recently, that time on the basketball court, I saw you and several others beating up another classmate."

  When Lin Xiaoyun spoke, Lu Yan felt his face burning intensely. He had been intentionally avoiding her all along, not wanting Lin Xiaoyun to know about these things. Unexpectedly, she actually knew them already. Thinking back on his past behavior, Lu Yan now felt extremely regretful in his heart.

  "This Wang Tao, what he said is really hard to hear." Lin Xiaoyun saw that Lu Yan didn't say anything and continued in a soft voice. "He shouldn't have spoken about your dad like that in front of you."

  Listening to Lin Xiaoyun's words, Lu Yan suddenly lifted his head. "Does she already know about my dad's affairs?" Lu Yan was shocked in his heart. Although he believed that his father was innocent, in his subconscious mind, he still did not want Lin Xiaoyun to know about his father's affairs.

  "Lu Yan, you must be feeling terrible right now, I don't know what to say to make you feel better. But we're all about to enter society soon, sometimes we have to learn to restrain ourselves and not be too impulsive," said Lin Xiaorong.

  Lin Xiao Yun's words were not heavy, every word was to persuade Lu Yan, but at this time, Lu Yan's mood had long been not calm. These words heard in his ears, as if a fiery whip, lashing his heart, not only painful, but also with a burning sensation.

  "Xiao Yun, I'm sorry. Today was all my fault. I have many bad habits, I'm overbearing, I'm a jerk, I'm immature, and I'm not stable. I know all of this." Lu Yan said his many shortcomings in one breath.

  "Lu Yan, I didn't mean it like that—"

  "Xiao Yun, don't say anything else and don't comfort me. As a man, I should bravely face and take responsibility for some things." Lu Yan's heart was afraid that Lin Xiao Yun would mention his father Lu Xiao Dong again, so he quickly interrupted her words.

  "I think you've misunderstood what I said," Lin Xiaoyun said helplessly to Lu Yan.

  At this time, Lu Yan's heart was also in a mess. He couldn't guess how Lin Xiao Yun looked at him in her heart. After all, he had so many bad records on his body before, and now the matter of his father Lu Xiao Dong was spreading wildly. Many of his classmates were already keeping their distance from him because of this. Lu Yan, who had a deep understanding of the world's ruthlessness, was afraid that Lin Xiao Yun would also look down on him because of this.

  Looking at Lin Xiaoyun's beautiful face in front of him, Lu Yan really felt ashamed. The scene was a bit awkward for a moment.
