Chapter 82: Telling Him

“Li Yang?”

“I’m here. I haven’t left yet.”

He had walked An Ling all the way to her door and watched her open it.

He had a bit of an urge to take her over to his own house so Grandma could keep her company, but after thinking about it he decided against it.

Let An Ling stay by herself.

Better not let Grandma know about this matter.

He knew very well that this good grandmother of his had an even bigger temper than he did.

Although she usually looked gentle, once she started being unreasonable no one could compare.

If the old lady found out, given how much she valued An Ling, she really would go make a scene at school.

Of course he also had to make a scene himself, solve it in the shortest time possible so it wouldn’t affect An Ling’s campus life.

His little wolf had only just jumped back not long ago and even seemed to have brought him a big gift.

He hadn’t even received the gift yet.

Don’t scare his little wolf away.

“What did you want to say?” Li Yang asked.

An Ling looked at him.

She could roughly confirm it was that bad woman who did it.

It was embarrassing to say, but she really had liked that woman before, even if it was in a future that never happened, so she had a certain understanding of her.

She was the kind of person who would stop at nothing.

She still didn’t know what that woman saw in Li Yang.

An Ling had originally thought that not seeing her during this period meant the woman felt there was no chance and had finally chosen to give up.

She hadn’t expected the woman had been holding back something this big for her.

But why target me?

She couldn’t figure it out.

Just because she was close to Li Yang?

But their relationship was pure friendship or family affection.

At least Li Yang should be treating her like a little brother, right?

Shouldn’t that woman, like in the memory fragments, come curry favor with her as a stepping stone to get close to Li Yang?

She thought about it and was now struggling over whether to tell Li Yang this answer that wasn’t completely certain.

If Li Yang asks how I know, how should I answer?

She didn’t know how to answer, but she still wanted to prepare to tell Li Yang what she knew.

Maybe after this period of time she had also changed.

She no longer believed the things in the memory fragments would happen later.

She had a feeling that fate had already been changed.

Now might be the time to understand, to let Li Yang lead her out.

“I can roughly give a suspect target.” An Ling raised her head and looked into his eyes.

“But I can’t be sure. If it’s not her, I’m willing to take responsibility for anything that happens. Afterwards I’ll go to the public security organs for mediation and provide compensation.”

“Mm, say it. Don’t worry. If anything happens I’ll be with you.”

“Do you remember Chen Ping from our same year? The one who dumped food on me last time.”

Li Yang of course remembered.

He was still dissatisfied that An Ling hadn’t demanded any compensation from that woman at the time.

However, thinking back, this woman really had often appeared in his line of sight, starting from before An Ling came back, frequently making contact with him intentionally or unintentionally.

“You mean this matter is related to Chen Ping?”

The probability was high.

An Ling then told him about Chen Ping giving Li Yang a love letter, and also said she had secretly taken it away without letting Li Yang know.

“Of course, the reason I took it was because I felt this woman is too scheming and not suitable to be your girlfriend. But taking away a love letter that belongs to you is still my fault after all. I’ll compensate you afterwards.”

Li Yang didn’t feel there was any problem with An Ling taking his love letter, because if it had been given to him he would have thrown it in the trash without even looking.

Instead he was interested in the compensation An Ling mentioned and planned to make good use of it afterwards.

An Ling added a bit more of her understanding of Chen Ping as a person.

“Alright, I got it.” Li Yang patted An Ling’s little head again.

The feel was still very good.

“Leave it to me. You stay at home, help me prepare today’s dinner, make it a bit lavish, then wait for my good news.”

“Wait.” An Ling grabbed Li Yang who wanted to leave.

“Aren’t you going to ask how I know?”

“No need. Just let me look forward to your dinner.”

“Fine, when you come back it will definitely be lavish, but…” An Ling didn’t let go of his hand.

“Don’t do anything stupid. Grandma Li is still at home. Tonight I’ll invite the old lady to come together.”

Li Yang left, rushing back to school in a hurry.

His first target was to find that woman.

If it was her, best, quickly solve it.

If not, he would make a scene at the homeroom teacher’s place.

Time was just about class ending, convenient for him to handle some things.

He knew which class Chen Ping was in.

It seemed Chen Ping had told him herself for some reason.

Thinking about it now, this woman really had problems.

The number of chance encounters with him before An Ling came was too many.

She had even had a few troubles happen in front of Li Yang that made him help her.

It was just that he himself hadn’t paid attention to this woman, so he hadn’t remembered.

After An Ling came, he had slowly almost forgotten there was such a person.

Class ended.

Chen Ping walked out of the classroom.

When she reached the corridor corner she saw Li Yang.

She guiltily wanted to turn back, wanted to shrink back into the classroom.

This small action made Li Yang even more convinced this woman had problems.

He ignored the gazes of the surrounding classmates and forcibly pulled this woman away to a place with few people.

Chen Ping looked around.

“Is classmate An Ling not here?”

She searched again, confirmed there was no sign of An Ling, her face a bit red, putting on a delicate appearance.

“Li Yang classmate pulling a girl like me to this kind of place isn’t good, right? Others will misunderstand.”

“Don’t say so much. I’m asking you, do you know about An Ling’s matter?”

Li Yang looked into that woman’s eyes.

The moment he asked, Chen Ping’s body clearly stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

“You’re talking about classmate An Ling? That matter of hers, many people in school already know. She’s really too improper. As Li Yang classmate’s childhood friend, she doesn’t even consider affecting your image.”

“Shut up!” Li Yang roared angrily and raised his hand as if to slap her.

But at this time he suddenly remembered An Ling’s exhortation before leaving and timely stopped his hand.

If this slap landed, even if the other side was at fault, they wouldn’t have the moral high ground.

Although he was very unconvinced, that was how it was.

Chen Ping was obviously scared by this.

She hadn’t expected Li Yang would want to hit her.

It shouldn’t be.

He shouldn’t have suspected her.

“Speak yourself. I already know what you did, and I have evidence. If you don’t speak, don’t blame me for going overboard.”

Li Yang of course didn’t have enough evidence.

This was to scare her.

“What… what do you mean? I don’t understand, Li Yang classmate. The post about classmate An Ling on the forum wasn’t done by me… I don’t know anything.”

“From beginning to end I never said the post was posted by you. What you did, admit it. My patience is almost gone. I can’t guarantee your personal safety then.” 

Li Yang glared at her, fire seeming to come out of his eyes.

He wouldn’t have the gentleness he had toward An Ling toward outsiders.
