Chapter 208: Chapter 207: Misunderstood Again

With a "bang," Lin Tian heavily collapsed on the sofa with Fang Ming pressing down on him. The two nearly toppled the sofa due to their combined weight, but fortunately, its solid quality meant it eventually stabilized.

At that moment, something in Fang Ming’s pocket vibrated, followed by the ringing of a cell phone. Lin Tian tossed the empty wine glass in his hand to the other end of the sofa and, without paying mind to her nonsensical babbling, pulled out her phone to look.

Baby? Jinghua City? Lin Tian noticed it wasn’t an unfamiliar number; it was even labeled "Baby," and the call was coming from Jinghua City—that’s the Imperial Capital! Could Fang Ming be from Jinghua City? Puzzled, he answered the call.

"Hello, mom..." A pleasant female voice came from the phone, leaving Lin Tian taken aback.

"Uh, I’m not your mom, my name is Lin Tian." He responded somewhat foolishly, after which the other end of the phone went silent.

A minute later, the woman’s voice came through again, but this time it was very stern, "Who are you? Why do you have my mom’s phone?"

Damn, so it was Fang Ming’s daughter, Lin Tian now heard it clearly. He was just about to explain when Fang Ming suddenly pulled at his clothes, her eyes fixed on the wine glass, continuously shouting, "Give it to me, Lin Tian, give it to me quickly..."

Hearing Fang Ming shout like that, Lin Tian knew things had gone south. These words sounded way too ambiguous. He knew Fang Ming wanted the wine glass, but others wouldn’t know that.

For instance, the woman on the other end of the phone had no idea. After three seconds of silence, the phone exploded with earth-shattering yelling, "Lin whatever Tian, I don’t care who you are; I’m telling you very clearly, you’re dead meat!"

After that, the phone hung up, leaving only a dial tone. Lin Tian scoffed dismissively, whether I die or not is not for you to decide, but whether you have the ability. I’m innocent and not afraid, so bring it on.

"Give me the wine; I still want to drink..." Fang Ming stood up unsteadily, not even interested in the wine glass anymore, and straightened up to grab the red wine bottle from the table.

It’s hard to tell that the normally stern Fang Ming could become so disheveled when drunk. Lin Tian shook his head, stood up to grab her, and pressed her back down on the sofa.

With Fang Ming’s little strength, she certainly wouldn’t be able to break free from Lin Tian’s grip. However, Lin Tian’s intention wasn’t to restrain her, but to help her sober up—which wouldn’t be difficult for him. Acupressure massage could achieve the best effect in alleviating drunkenness.

First was the Bai Hui acupoint on the top of her head. Massaging the Bai Hui acupoint could relieve heaviness in the head, allowing her to sober up a bit. Lin Tian pressed down on the top of her head with one hand, and as he massaged and kneaded, Fang Ming gradually calmed down, the haze in her eyes clearing, and she became a bit more alert.

"Am I drunk? My head feels so dizzy." Fang Ming frowned, seeing the wine glass thrown aside, she knew she had drunk quite heavily.

"Don’t move; I’m going to massage you to help with the alcohol." Lin Tian told her to rest, switching to massaging the Fengchi Acupoint at the back of her neck. After the Fengchi Acupoint massage, Fang Ming became completely sober.

"That’s much better. I didn’t know you could massage. It’s a bit nauseating though." Fang Ming kept her eyes shut, seemingly enduring the churning in her stomach.

Nausea is very common for a drunk person. Lin Tian moved in front of her, knelt down, and began to massage the Zhubin acupoint on her foot. This acupoint was incredibly effective for relieving drunken nausea and vomiting.

"Feeling better now?" Lin Tian asked.

"Xiao Tian, I had no idea you were a master at massage; it’s working so quickly!" Fang Ming’s frown eased, finally overcoming the effects of the alcohol.

"It’s nothing, just learned a few tricks from Grandpa." Lin Tian tidied up the wine glass and took his seat again.

Fang Ming looked somewhat embarrassed, losing her composure in front of her student, which was hard to justify. She whispered, "I remembered some past memories, you wouldn’t laugh at Aunt Fang, would you?"

Such sentiment is common to all humans; the pain of losing a loved one can make anyone irrational. Lin Tian shook his head, then suddenly remembered something. He picked up his phone and asked Fang Ming, "Aunt Fang, do you have a daughter?"

"Yes, how do you know?" Fang Ming was quite surprised, as she never mentioned her family matters to Lin Tian before.

Lin Tian touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed as he said, "Just now, when you threw yourself at me, your daughter called..."

Speaking of being thrown, Fang Ming felt a bit uneasy since Lin Tian was also an adult man. She suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Oh no! Did she hear me calling out during that moment? Xiao Tian, you’re in trouble now."

Indeed, a mother knows her daughter best. Lin Tian nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, she said I’m as good as dead."

"I see, I’ll explain it to her later. Let’s continue eating; you haven’t had much to eat." Fang Ming dared not drink any more wine at this point.

When they finished the meal, it was almost nine o’clock, and it had long been dark outside. Since she had to drive, Fang Ming didn’t let Lin Tian drink any alcohol, and she put away the bottle of wine.

It was too late, and Lin Tian didn’t want to stay any longer. Although he didn’t mind, he was concerned about impacting Fang Ming’s reputation, as there are always some gossips, and it wouldn’t be good if word got out that Fang Ming had a man stay overnight.

After leaving the teachers’ apartment and heading back toward the school, Lin Tian was thinking about speeding away when several people suddenly appeared in front of him, forcing him to hit the brakes.

Damn, who was so reckless to stop cars late at night, he could have hit them in a moment of distraction. Lin Tian rolled down the window, watching as the group approached, curious to see what tricks they might pull. This area was near the side of the school where there were fewer people, making it possible they were robbers.

"Yo, it’s just a student kid." The leader’s shirt was open, revealing a tattoo that looked like an Azure Dragon.

Lin Tian, still wearing his school uniform, wasn’t surprised they knew he was a student. Leaning on the car window, he smiled and said, "So, Brother Azure Dragon, what do you want by stopping my car?"

"Hmph, originally, we thought your car looked nice and just wanted to borrow some money, but discovering that you’re a student from Xikou City High School makes it not so simple." Brother Azure Dragon sneered, eyeing Lin Tian’s school uniform with ill intent.

Was there someone specifically targeting Xikou City High School students? Lin Tian was stunned, unsure of their purpose.

"Hey, our boss is talking to you, and you don’t get out of the car? Don’t you have any manners?" Another young man with a dramatic hairstyle yelled.

Heh, these people were too funny, picking on students at night and still speaking of manners? Lin Tian got out of the car and walked up to Tattoo Brother.

"You’re unlucky to have run into us. Lin Tian from your school, he dared to disrespect our boss, so other students from the school will bear his mistake. We’ll beat up anyone we see until Lin Tian drops out of high school. Otherwise, you’d better pray you don’t run into us!" Tattoo Brother declared loudly.

Now Lin Tian was even more puzzled; why did it end up being about him again? Was someone setting him up to force him out of Xikou City High School? That was his first thought.

"Kid, you dare to space out while I’m talking? Are you looking for a beating?" Tattoo Brother’s fist aimed at Lin Tian’s chin, with a vicious glint in his eyes.

Lin Tian didn’t even bother to look as he kicked out, hitting Tattoo Brother squarely in the stomach, which sent him flying back with a yelp.
