Chapter 3: Expensive Affairs (Part 1)

Carried by a waft of fragrance, the two collided with each other, and fortunately, Xiao Lei was relatively sturdy, only stumbling back a couple of steps. However, that person fell to the ground immediately.

In the evening, the weather was still somewhat hot, but that fiery sun had finally set. Xiao Lei took a shower in the Taekwondo club's bathroom and sighed as he walked out of the school.

With a sobbing tone, he whispered, "My bag! My money... my money..."

Why? Xiao Lei finally became somewhat impatient, not expecting things to become so complicated

Lin Shanshan thought for a moment and then agreed. Xiao Lei felt helpless in his heart and could only carefully support her all the way. The scent of the perfume on Lin Shanshan kept invading Xiao Lei's nose, a fragrance that was unmistakably from a low-cost perfume, making Xiao Lei unable to resist the urge to sneeze.

However, once there is a beginning to matters in the world, the subsequent events will naturally follow step by step

To speak honestly, Xiao Lei does not really want to meddle in others' affairs. Naturally, there is enough food at home, but when the girl asks for a bit to eat, how could Xiao Lei have the heart to drive her away?

Lin Shanshan immediately displayed a somewhat strange expression and said in a low voice, "I... I am not in a position to go to the police station"

Lin Shanshan struggled to stand up, looked at the person in front of her, and said softly: "Is it you? You are from our school, I recognize you, your surname is Lei"

Xiao Lei is also not very willing to deal with such people, and has even heard some evaluations of Lin Shanshan from others behind her back

Xiao Lei's "Reverse Stepping on the Seven Stars" is a lightness technique taught by an old master, but it is far from the kind of lightness skill found in martial arts novels that allows one to walk on walls and fly over eaves. It is merely a clever footwork technique within martial arts. Many practitioners of modern folk martial arts have also learned techniques like the Plum Blossom Stance, which is also a method for training lower body skills.

You circle and I cross, I went out without checking the almanac, and brought back a troublesome situation along with a * picture * book

Lin Shanshan has quite a reputation at school, although it is not particularly favorable. Rumor has it that she is well-known as a social butterfly, possessing a beautiful face, yet she is constantly surrounded by scandals

Xiao Lei hurriedly took several dozen yuan from the room and handed it to her, smiling, "Alright, this money is enough for you to take a taxi home." After saying this, he appeared ready to see her off.

"You can go to the police station to file a report. As long as your identity is verified, the police will assist you in unlocking it"

If heaven is intent on causing you trouble, then even while walking on the road, you will bump into a utility pole — Xiao Lei's quote

Hmm? Lin Shanshan?" Xiao Lei furrowed his brows

Lin Shanshan's eyes turned red, and her body began to tremble noticeably. Tears soon flowed down her cheeks, and she started to cry softly.

Wu Daozi once said that mastering this set of footwork allows one to walk through a hail of bullets unscathed. Today, Xiao Xiao demonstrated it briefly and indeed easily avoided a person who suddenly collided with him. However, immediately afterward, another soft body rushed out fiercely and collided squarely with Xiao Lei's chest.

A short distance took a full fifteen minutes to walk. After entering Xiao Lei's home, he casually tossed Lin Shanshan onto the sofa and said with a faint smile: "This is my humble abode. Please have a seat while I get the money for you."

Suddenly, anger and hatred appeared on her face as she gritted her teeth and said, "My bag... my bag has been stolen! It's a thief!" Her eyes reddened, and a few tears fell as she continued, "Inside is my rent for next month... that money, that money was hard-earned by me."

Tonight, the old bastard is not around, so I can finally relax for a few days. However, thinking about the mountain of dirty clothes piling up at home, Xiao Lei couldn't help but frown

After finishing a bowl of instant noodles, Lin Shanshan suddenly changed her expression as she looked at the completely darkened sky outside m.hetushu.com, revealing a hint of concern.

Xiao Lei touched his empty pockets and said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, I don't even have a dime on me." He sighed, unable to bear seeing a girl cry in front of him. He extended his finger and pointed into the distance, saying, "My home is just ahead; why don't you come back with me, and I can lend you some money."

Xiao Lei walked past without glancing aside, as he was not one to meddle in others' affairs by nature. However, sometimes the events in the world do not unfold as one wishes. Just as he passed the entrance of that alley, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side. Although it was merely a fleeting glance in the midst of haste, the sharp-eyed Xiao Lei still remembered the appearance of the other person.

Lin Shanshan whispered a thank you, attempting to stand up with difficulty. However, at that moment, quite inopportunely, both of them heard a "grumble" sound. It was evident that someone's stomach was making noise due to hunger.

Alas, it seems that the household truly lacks a woman

Lin Shanshan said softly: "Wait a moment... can you... can you lend me some money? My wallet was stolen"

Lin Shanshan stamped her foot in anger and said: "But that money... that money..."

Xiao Lei, with an air of composure, executed a "reverse seven-star step," gracefully turning his body to evade the man, who fled like a gust of wind.

Xiao Lei looked at Lin Shanshan with an expression of innocence, remaining calm and composed. He had already eaten a free boxed meal at the Taekwondo club at school that evening, so this sound was naturally not made by him

( Hero saving the beauty? Rest assured, I am not particularly fond of such old-fashioned clichés in dancing )

However, the need to clean the furniture that had been splashed with water completely transformed the slight sense of admiration that Xiao Lei had just begun to cultivate into curses

... ...

"Um... do you... do you have dinner at home?" Lin Shanshan's face turned red, and she seemed quite embarrassed as she quietly said, "I... my wallet was stolen, and I have no money for dinner."

Uh... how about finding a wealthy woman to promote that old fellow Wu Daozi? Although that old rascal is a bit older, he is still reasonably good-looking, and he can certainly talk his way through things, so he can just about hold his own. Plus, it could bring in some money to help with household expenses... Hmm...! However, I’ve heard that wealthy women, even if they are looking for a man to support, tend to prefer younger, strong, and vigorous ones, especially those with strong sexual abilities?! That old fellow seems to be over forty already... I wonder if he still has it in that regard... But I’ve heard that wealthy women, even if they are looking for a man to support, tend to prefer younger, strong, and vigorous ones, especially those with strong sexual abilities?! That old fellow seems to be over forty already... I wonder if he still has it in that regard...

He was a man in his thirties, dressed in a coarse manner, with a look of panic on his face. He was tightly clutching a woman's handbag with a broken strap, hurriedly fleeing with his legs spread apart, but he happened to collide with Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei steadied himself and looked over, seeing a girl sitting on the ground, struggling to stand up. Her face was filled with anxiety, but as soon as she moved, she cried out in pain, pressing her hand firmly against one of her calves.

Such a girl is naturally rejected by all the other girls, and those boys also disdain to approach her. Even if there are occasionally people who come close to her, they are mostly not well-intentioned. Therefore, Lin Shanshan basically belongs to the category of outcasts in the school.

"You seem to have hurt your foot," Xiao Lei sighed. He crouched down and gently pinched the other person's ankle twice. Lin Shanshan let out a small cry of pain, and Xiao Lei had already released his grip: "It's nothing serious, just a slight sprain. Rest for a night, and you will be fine by tomorrow. Right now, it will naturally hurt a bit, and you won't be able to walk. You might as well hail a taxi to go home."

However, this set of "Reverse Seven Star Steps" by the old diviner is said to have been passed down by our sect's founder, Master Zhuge Kongming. It is said that Master Wolong was skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia. The term "Dun" in Chinese certainly means "to escape". One can imagine that Master Zhuge Kongming was extremely adept at methods of "escape" in his time

Having finished speaking, Xiao Lei stood up, appearing ready to leave

Xiao Lei sighed, a hint of embarrassment showing on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Stop crying. The person has already run far away, and we can't catch up."

The old charlatan naturally boasted about this set of steps, claiming to have mastered it to the highest level, stating that he could remain unscathed even amidst a hail of bullets. Although this was an exaggeration, the set of steps indeed possessed some peculiar qualities. At the time of teaching, the old charlatan demonstrated it once, walking rapidly in his room while performing this set of steps, prompting Xiao Lei to bring a basin of water to splash on him. Although this was an exaggeration, the set of steps indeed possessed some peculiar qualities. At the time of teaching, the old charlatan demonstrated it once, walking rapidly in his room while performing this set of steps, prompting Xiao Lei to bring a basin of water to splash on him

The result was that a basin of water was splashed clean, yet the old sorcerer only had the corner of his clothing slightly dampened. This truly amazed Xiao Lei for a while, and he genuinely developed a sense of respect for the old sorcerer.

Several wealthy young men in the school are said to have had affairs with her, and it is rumored that there is some financial transaction involved. It is said that her living expenses and tuition fees are supported by being kept by rich men, but recently her situation has become rather dire. What good can come from those wealthy young men who spend money on women? They merely pay for her youthful body, and once they are done, they naturally cast her aside.

With these malicious thoughts swirling in his mind, Xiao Lei staggered home, taking three unsteady steps for every one. Just after walking two blocks, he heard a gasp coming from a corner alley, seemingly the voice of a girl

Xiao Lei sighed, extended a hand to help her up, and frowned as he asked, "Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

No money for dinner? Didn't you eat at home? Does your family not even have money for meals?

Lin Shanshan had just stomped her foot, and the pain contorted her face. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Xiao Lei caught her just in time

The girl is wearing a relatively sexy short skirt, paired with a pink cropped top. Her medium-length hair is clearly straightened, and her face is quite beautiful, although the eye shadow is a bit heavy and the makeup on her face seems a little excessive. Additionally, her skin is not very smooth, suggesting some damage from low-cost cosmetics.

However, Xiao Lei did not believe a word of the old charlatan's nonsensical origins. It was merely that this set of steps was forced upon him to practice under the threat of the old charlatan's stick. Xiao Lei thought that in the future, when following the old charlatan in swindling, if they were ever exposed, he would have an additional skill to escape, so he took the time to learn it earnestly

Lin Shanshan glanced at the pile of dirty clothes on the sofa beside her, and to her dismay, there was a pair of underwear on top that she couldn't tell whether it belonged to Xiao Lei or Wu Daozi. Her face immediately flushed red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look again.

The woman before me is also a student of Bowen School. Although Xiao Lei does not know her personally, he has indeed often heard her name.

Uh... Master Zhuge, this set of footwork is said to be able to evade a hail of bullets, but it doesn't explain how to dodge a second person after avoiding the first... Moreover, the one who collided into my arms is a beautiful woman, isn't it?

Xiao Lei understood that the other party was somewhat resentful towards him for blocking her pursuit. He smiled wryly and said: "That money cannot be recovered. I apologize for blocking you earlier, but even without me, as a girl, can you really catch up to a big man? Even if you do catch up to him, as a girl, can you take the bag back?"

She pushed the bowl forward and stared blankly at Xiao Lei, seemingly hesitant to speak. Xiao Lei felt a sense of foreboding; sure enough, Lin Shanshan's face turned red once again as she quietly said, "I... my house key was stolen from my bag, and there is no one at home. It's so late, and I can't find a locksmith... Do you think... do you think I could stay here for the night?"

Xiao Lei immediately felt a sense of despair in his heart

One famous line is: "Between the eyes, there are myriad spring feelings" ... ... Uh ... ... The second half of the line is "Between the legs, it is unfathomable"
