Offside game

For students who have just gone through the college entrance examination, the sky is always particularly blue, the grass is always particularly green, and the flowers are always particularly beautiful... and the gloom in the hearts of teenagers is more easily swept away by the sunshine.

However, many unexpected situations in life always arrive without warning.

"Master, I think I heard a scream, it sounded like a girl." As they walked with Su Yi on the way to Zhongxing, Ji Feng asked curiously as they approached the location.

The modified Su Yi possessed heightened hearing, and he immediately recognized the sound as coming from a rarely visited alleyway nearby. He also heard it more clearly—a girl's suppressed scream. He pointed there to indicate this to Ji Feng.

The two entered, only to be met by a pair of peering eyes. Perhaps sensing Ji Feng's voice, the room fell silent as their footsteps drew nearer. The face that peeked out was one that Ji Feng recognized very well—Chen Dong.

Su Yi wasn't one to hold grudges, but because of that beating, he wouldn't mind giving Chen Dong a good beating if they met again. He was confident in his skills now, and even if he were surrounded by a group of thugs again, he could handle them himself. Strangely, however, he hadn't seen the kid since. He later learned that Chen Dong's family seemed to be planning for him to join the army after graduation, so he hadn't gone back to school, not even taking the college entrance exam. After all, given his grades, taking the exam would be a waste of time. Of course, to others, his time seemed to be wasted as well.

Su Yi had many things to do, and he didn't consider revenge to be of great importance. However, since he had encountered this situation today, he didn't mind settling things once and for all.

Reaching the corner, the two saw a panicked girl surrounded by several men, several hands on her body, seemingly having been groped earlier. Su Yi had heard of similar incidents; some thugs would occasionally drag timid girls to secluded places and harass them, usually just physically assaulting them. The girls who suffered such abuse could only accept their misfortune and dared not speak out. It seemed this was the case.

"Let her go!" It was Ji Feng's voice. Su Yi suddenly realized that this kid actually had a strong sense of justice.

"It's you, kid." The voice belonged to Bald Liu, who was the leader of the group. He saw that the people who came in were Su Yi and a kid, but he wasn't flustered. He said in a smug voice, "Didn't I beat you up enough the other day? You're here looking for death. And you, kid, where did you come from? Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how complicated the world is."

Next to Bald Liu were familiar faces; these thugs surrounded the two men, and it seemed they had them completely under control.

Su Yi pulled Ji Feng back from making a move, but heard him say, "Master, don't be afraid. I've learned Taekwondo, I'm not afraid of them."

Hearing his words, Su Yi smiled and said, "No need to rush, I'll take care of them."

"Hey, you've got guts, kid. We weren't beating you up the other day." One of the thugs, who was destined to be a bit player, said his line in a very cooperative manner, then walked towards them and kicked them with great force.

In Su Yi's eyes, the kick was like a slow-motion replay. When it reached him, he suddenly grabbed it, and then he was behind the man, kicking him in the buttocks. The man staggered and rushed outwards.

Upon seeing this result, the others gathered around.

"Stand still." This was what Su Yi shouted to Ji Feng. Then he nimbly weaved through the thugs, leaving a footprint on the buttocks of each one. Without exception, these thugs were kicked away by him.

Ji Feng stood there, not because he didn't want to move, but because he was stunned by the astonishing scene before him. Seeing that everyone who came up had been kicked out by Su Yi, the remaining thugs rushed forward, only to meet the same fate.

And so, a bizarre scene unfolded before Ji Feng and the terrified girl. Su Yi weaved through the crowd, kicking the thugs from behind, causing them to involuntarily rush outwards. It wasn't that they were particularly cooperative; it was just that Su Yi always managed to kick them in the buttocks the instant they regained their balance.

Like herding sheep, Su Yi used this bizarre method to kick the thugs outside the alley. The thugs shouted and cursed, but they were involuntarily being kicked and driven by Su Yi.

Not far outside this alley is ZTE. Some people at the entrance were also drawn by the shouts and saw this scene.

This was also Su Yi's goal. By "driving" these people out of ZTE, he would no longer be just like that; under the watchful eyes of more and more people, Su Yi would take them down with each punch.

Meanwhile, the people who were slowly gathering at the entrance of ZTE recognized that the people being beaten by Su Yi were several notorious thugs from the neighborhood who had committed many evil deeds. Many people cheered as they saw Su Yi punching these guys.

They naturally recognized Su Yi, and were astonished by his strength. He was fighting so many people all by himself; was this kid Bruce Lee?

Su Yi wasn't a petty person. If it were just because he had been beaten by them, he would have retaliated. But he hated these guys who bullied girls the most. He knew that even a physical assault on the girls they had taken to secluded places could have a significant psychological impact, leaving them with lasting trauma. Therefore, he deliberately drove these guys outside to teach them a lesson in front of everyone.

Generally speaking, these gangsters value their reputation the most. Being beaten up by a teenager in front of so many people would probably make them lose face and stop pretending to be villains. Therefore, Su Yi put all his strength into every punch, knocking out several of their front teeth to leave a lasting impression on them.

At this moment, Ji Feng and the girl instinctively followed, standing at the alley entrance, staring blankly at Su Yi's actions. The girl's face, initially pale with fright, flushed slightly. She stared wide-eyed as the boy taught the bully who had just wronged her a lesson, and her grievances and fear seemed to vanish. These bad guys, someone still had to take care of them. At this moment, Su Yi's image became incredibly heroic in her eyes. It seemed that in novels, rescuing a damsel in distress always meant repaying with one's body…

After beating these men, Su Yi stomped on their hands that had been reaching for the girl, one foot after another. While he didn't break their bones, it still caused them to howl in pain again, and their hands would likely ache for days. The thugs were covered in dust, their faces bruised and bloodied, some groaning softly, looking quite pathetic.

"Don't let me see you again. I'll beat you every time I see you. If I hear you bullying girls again, you'd better wait and see what happens to you." Su Yi said fiercely, and seeing Bald Liu's disgusting face contorted in pain, he kicked him again.

After saying this, Su Yi gave them a fierce look, then walked over, pulled Ji Feng away, and told the girl to go home quickly as well. He turned and left amidst the girl's almost infatuated gaze.

After Su Yi pulled Ji Feng away, the people at the ZTE entrance were still in shock. Everyone maintained an incredulous expression with wide eyes. Of course, seeing these scumbags being taught a lesson so badly also filled them with excitement, as many of them had been extorted by these bastards. This was also why no one had called the police yet.

Bald Liu and his gang of thugs naturally didn't dare to call the police. They were frequent visitors to the police station, and although the things they did were annoying, they weren't serious crimes. At most, they would only stay in the police station for a few days before being released. Seeing them being beaten, the police would probably secretly cheer. Whether they would actually help them was still a big question.

Everyone stared blankly as Su Yi walked away. From that moment on, ZTE gained another legend...

With this incident, it seems we can't play CS anymore. Su Yi pulled Ji Feng and hurriedly walked back. Ji Feng's gaze towards Su Yi had changed from blank to eager: "Master, you're amazing!"

"Master, you are too powerful." Ji Feng had said this sentence countless times. At this moment, Ji Feng was quite like Xianglin's wife.

"Master, you're so powerful. There's definitely a reason why you're a little bit more handsome than me." Saying this meant he had returned to normal somewhat. This thought left Su Yi somewhat helpless.

"By the way, Master, that was so much fun! Why are you leaving so soon? You should have taught them a lesson."

Su Yi rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you want to see a headline like 'College Entrance Exams Finished, Students Fight in the Street' in tomorrow's Dongdu Daily, then go and deal with it yourself. I don't want to be in the newspaper. Maybe the police will invite you for tea when you get back."

“Yes, that makes sense.” Ji Feng thought that made sense, but his eyes were still eager: “Um, Master, do you know martial arts? You don’t need to hide it from me, it’s obvious… Master, I’m your disciple, how about you teach me some kung fu?”

"It seems you only said you'd learn CS from me," Su Yi corrected him.

"Well, you're my master, so you should pass on all your special skills to me, your most talented and last disciple. That's how it's written in novels, you know," Ji Feng said with a charming smile, still trying to coax him.

"How about I teach you math and physics first? I'm pretty good at those too," Su Yi joked.

"Master..." Ji Feng had no choice but to resort to the trick of pretending to be innocent and pitiful.

Seeing Ji Feng's pitiful, self-pitying expression, Su Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "Well, learning kung fu isn't entirely out of the question..."

"Ah, Master, you said it yourself. I'm a simple person, I'll believe whatever you say... Don't worry, I'll listen to you, Master."

"You said it, what if you don't listen to me in the future?" Su Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Feng.

"Then... I'll accept my master's punishment." Ji Feng gritted his teeth and said something that pleased Su Yi. Sigh, he'd tricked another naive young man...
