76: Chapter 75: Not Dead, Right?

“Chu Yi, are you okay?

They were just led by the hype, don’t take it to heart, okay?”

Han Lingyue keenly detected something off in Chu Yi’s expression and immediately tried to console him.

If it were someone else being slandered like this, they would at most go to the teachers or the school for clarification, and those with a bit of background might even demand compensation.

All that’s left then is to wait for people to slowly forget about it.

But for Chu Yi…

she was afraid he might take a life!

Seeing her concern, Chu Yi gave a faint smile, “No problem, am I someone who cares about gossip?”

Upon hearing this, Han Lingyue obviously sighed in relief, “It’s good if you can think that way.”

Before she could finish, Shao Yu outright exposed him.

“That’s right, you’re not someone who cares about gossip, but you care about those who create it.”

Han Lingyue was stunned upon hearing this.

Right!

I knew there was a reason Chu Yi didn’t usually talk so easily.

“Chu Yi, stay calm!

We live in a society governed by law, impetuosity is the devil.”

Seeing Han Lingyue’s anxious look, Chu Yi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Why are you so nervous?

I didn’t say I was going to do anything to them.”

“But…

aren’t you going to find Zhang Tao and the others to settle the score?” Han Lingyue asked with a mix of belief and doubt.

“Yeah, but I’m only planning to make them post their own confessions, they’re just a few youngsters.

Am I going to drown them, bury them, burn them, chop them or what?”

Upon hearing this, Han Lingyue instantly got a shock, looking at Chu Yi in horror.

And you say you’re not taking it to heart?!

Does this look like not taking it to heart?!

“Chu Yi, can’t you just consider it for my sake?

Sure, you’d get it off your chest by doing something, but I still have to go to school, you know!”

To persuade Chu Yi to show mercy, Han Lingyue indeed put a lot of effort into it.

With her earnest persuasion, Chu Yi finally agreed to win others over with reason.

However, just as they were passing by the basketball court, a basketball suddenly came flying without warning, headed straight for Chu Yi’s head.

“Watch out!”

Han Lingyue had barely sounded the warning when she saw Chu Yi, without even turning his head, raise his hand.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, he caught the basketball in his hand.

From the force of the throw, it looked like all strength had been put into it.

Chu Yi weighed the basketball in his hand and turned to look towards the court, where he saw a group of tall, strong students looking at him with smirky, insincere smiles.

“Sorry about that, accidentally made a bad pass, can you throw the ball back over?”

“Be careful, will you?

Look what a scare you’ve given our Casanova.”

“You’re underestimating Casanova!

He’s got two girlfriends with him, he can’t afford to show any fear, even if he peed his pants.”

Sarcastic comments kept coming, causing Han Lingyue’s eyebrows to twitch incessantly.

Have you guys lost your minds?

I’ve just barely managed to calm him down, and you’re fanning the flames?

Do you really need to learn your lesson the hard way before getting a clue?

Just when Han Lingyue felt something was seriously wrong, Chu Yi’s gaze swept over the group of guys, and he recognized two familiar faces.

They were the ones who had been drinking at the same table with that guy, Zhang Tao, last night.

Are they trying to retaliate for that kid?

His lips curving slightly, Chu Yi said warmly, “You want the ball thrown back?

Alright, catch it, then!”

With that, he grabbed the basketball with one hand, the power rising from the ground, twisting through his waist and transferring to his arm.

Whoosh!

The basketball slipped from his hand, smashing out like a cannonball.

The group of boys who had just been jeering suddenly changed their expressions.

Was that throwing a basketball or a shot put?!

Why was there a whooshing sound?

If anyone got hit by that…

Thinking of the consequences, they couldn’t help but shrink their necks and scatter to avoid it instantly.

Jiang Kun was among them.

Originally, he had only seen Chu Yi with two beautiful girls and, out of jealousy and the desire to take revenge for his buddies, had deliberately smashed the basketball over.

He never expected that Chu Yi’s counterattack would come so decisively.

That basketball was clearly targeting him!

“Damn it!”

Jiang Kun blurted out a curse unconsciously and, barely predicting the path of the basketball, immediately tucked his head and scampered off.

However, Chu Yi had predicted his move, and just as Jiang Kun had taken a couple of steps, the basketball, under the effect of rotation, slightly shifted its direction.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed as the nearly one hundred and ninety-centimeter-tall Jiang Kun was actually knocked flying two to three meters by the basketball, landing on the ground with a thud.

The basketball, too, bounced up to a height of more than ten meters under the counterforce, and after several seconds, it finally landed and rolled away.

The air instantly froze.

The basketball team boys, who had just been arrogant due to their greater numbers, all stood there dumbfounded, incredulously watching the scene unfold.

It was just an inflated basketball, not a solid one, yet it actually sent Jiang Kun flying two to three meters.

How strong must the force have been?!

Could it have killed him?

Zhou Hai, who had also been at the food stall the previous night, was the first to snap out of it and hurriedly rushed over.

“Jiang Kun, are you alright?”

He cautiously patted Jiang Kun’s face, asking.

However, Jiang Kun remained with his eyes tightly closed, showing no response at all…

Zhou Hai stiffened all over, completely dumbfounded.

A few seconds later, he suddenly cried out in panic, “Help!

Someone’s dead!”

Upon hearing this, everyone froze.

No way, could the basketball have really killed someone?!

Han Lingyue’s eyelid twitched as she nudged Chu Yi, asking with immense nervousness, “Chu, you didn’t really… didn’t really…”

Chu Yi just laughed it off, saying, “It’s fine, he’s just in shock, that’s all.”

Han Lingyue paused, “Shock?

But it didn’t hit his head, how could he go into shock?”

“How can I put it…

you know about jumping from high places, right?

When some people fall from great heights, their bodily functions spike rapidly, and the brain makes its own judgment.

If it thinks that continuing to spike like this will kill the person, it initiates a self-induced shock.”

“Uh…

what does that have to do with this?”

“Yeah, when I hit him, his brain thought he was a goner and started the shock procedure,” Chu Yi explained, shrugging his shoulders.

“To put it more simply, he was frightened.”

Han Lingyue couldn’t help but feel speechless.

You could’ve just said that, and I would’ve understood!

Why the need to elaborate?

Just as she felt a sense of relief, the school doctor swiftly arrived.

“Is he dead?

He must be dead, right?”

As the doctor examined Jiang Kun, Zhou Hai babbled on beside him, his mind filled with concerns about whether he would be held responsible if Jiang Kun really were dead…

Finally, the doctor, annoyed by his mumbling, lashed out with a kick.

“Dead your grandmother’s bear, can’t you hope for something better?

Get two people to carry the stretcher, take him to my place.”

Zhou Hai instantly snapped back to reality, grabbing the doctor’s hand, “Is he really okay?”

“Nonsense!” The doctor said impatiently, breaking free.

“Now tell me, what happened?

How did a perfectly fine person just go into shock?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai, without a second thought, pointed at Chu Yi.

“He did it!”
