3 Helping Su Lingxi

After hugging Ling Tian's right arm, Su Lingxi uttered, "Honey, these two men are harassing me."

Ling Tian was startled when an unknown woman suddenly embraced his right arm and pretended to be his girlfriend.

'Honey?'

When he saw Kui and Yu, he finally understood everything. 

'I see.'

Even though he was not a saint, he really disliked delinquents, especially when they were harassing innocent people. 

'It seems like they are asking for a beating.'

When Ling Tian was about to say something to Kui and Yu, a notification popped up.

[Ding! Two delinquents are harassing a young woman. Help the young woman and beat up the delinquents. Upon completing the quest, Host will be rewarded with 10 Paradise Points, 15 system exp and 3,000 Yuan.]

'A quest?'

He was pleasantly surprised by the sudden quest.

'I didn't expect to have such good luck right after transmigrating into this world.'

The happiness within him grew bigger when he knew the reward of the quest.

As Ling Tian was feeling happy, Su Lingxi felt guilty.

Actually, she did not want to drag Ling Tian into her problem, but she would get raped by Yu and Kui if she did not pretend to be Ling Tian's lover because they tried to kiss and hug her earlier.

'I'm sorry for dragging you into my problem.'

She apologized through her eyes.

Ling Tian smiled softly at her.

Even though she did not say anything, he knew what she had in mind because it was written on her face.

Su Lingxi was stunned when she saw his soft smile.

'Why do I feel calm after seeing his smile?'

She did not know what was going on, but she felt calm after seeing his smile.

It was as if Ling Tian's smile was the source of calmness.

No!

It was as if Ling Tian was the source of the calmness.

'It's my first time meeting him, so how can he make me feel calm like this?'

At that moment, she felt like Ling Tian was an angel who had been protecting her since she was little.

"Is he the boyfriend you were talking about?" Kui asked when he saw Ling Tian. "He looks like a weak young man in my eyes."

"Beauty, are you sure he is a powerful martial artist? I think you have been fooled by him because he looks like a playboy, not a martial artist. Haha." Yu laughed loudly after making fun of Ling Tian.

Su Lingxi shifted her gaze from Ling Tian to Yu and Kui.

'What should I do now?'

She subconsciously embraced Ling Tian's right arm tighter.

After seeing her expression, Ling Tian whispered in her left ear, "Don't worry. I can defeat them easily." 

Su Lingxi returned her attention to Ling Tian and inquired, "Really?"

"Yes. The chances of me winning against them is one hundred percent." Ling Tian was a powerful martial artist in his previous life, so defeating Yu and Kui was as easy as turning the palm of his hand. "Let me handle this now."

Su Lingxi stopped hugging Ling Tian's right arm and uttered, "Be careful."

"Un." After nodding his head, Ling Tian approached Kui and Yu.

"What is this? Are you pretending to be a hero now?" Kui was not surprised by Ling Tian's actions because most men always pretended to be heroes in front of beautiful women.

But once they got punched hard in the face, they turned into cowards instantly because, at that time, they would realize that they could not become heroes with only words.

"Brother Yu, let's just beat him up." Kui uttered, "Let's show him the consequences of pretending to be a hero in front of us."

"Alright." Yu responded as he nodded his head.

"Brat, pretending to be a hero in front of us is a big mistake." After saying that, Kui dashed toward Ling Tian, intending to punch his face.

When she saw Kui rushing toward Ling Tian, Su Lingxi prayed to God. 

Even though Ling Tian said the chances of him winning against them were one hundred percent, she was still worried.

'God, please help him. Please help him.'

She kept saying the same words as if she was chanting a magic spell.

"Die!" like Kui, Yu also rushed toward Ling Tian.

But despite that, Ling Tian still had a calm face.

In his previous life, he fought many people alone countless times, so being attacked by two people did not make him feel afraid.

'As I thought, they are weak.'

Ling Tian took one step back when Yu tried to kick his head.

He also managed to avoid Kui's fist easily.

Even though he was still not used to his new body, Ling Tian could avoid their attacks easily because their attacks were so slow in his eyes.

"I will end this fight now." after saying that, Ling Tian punched Yu and Kui's chests hard.

"Uaakk…" blood splashed out of their mouths as they fell on their knees.

'How? How can he be so powerful?'

Due to how hard Ling Tian's punch was, they had difficulty breathing.

"You should not challenge other people if your skills are only at this level." Ling Tian finished them off by kicking their heads, causing them to faint immediately.

'It seems like I need to train this body.'

If he used his previous body, he only needed one move to defeat Yu and Kui.

However, he needed two moves to defeat them with his new body. That was why he wanted to train his new body.

"He is not lying. He can defeat them easily." Su Lingxi covered her mouth in surprise.

She was glad that she chose him to help her.

Otherwise, something bad would have happened to her by now.

'No. This is not the right time to be stunned. I need to thank him immediately.'

With that idea in mind, she approached Ling Tian.

After she was in front of him, she expressed her gratitude. "Thank you for helping me."

"I'm glad I could help you." Ling Tian answered as he showed his soft smile. 

Like before, Su Lingxi was stunned again.

'Not only is he good-looking, but he also has a beautiful smile.'

Of course, she would not say it directly because they had just met.

When Su Lingxi remembered that she still did not know his name, she immediately extended her right hand. "I'm Su Lingxi. What is your name?"

Ling Tian extended his right hand before finally doing a handshake with her. "Honey."

Su Lingxi covered her mouth with her left hand and giggled. "Hehe."

'He is a funny young man.'

Of course, she knew he was lying.

And she also knew the reason why he introduced himself as Honey.

"Do you want me to keep calling you honey?" she played along with his joke.

"I would be happy if a beautiful woman like you kept calling me honey." he ignored the notification from his system and kept teasing her.

"It seems like these delinquents are right. You are a playboy." of course, she was not angry or disgusted because it could help her forget the bad situation that had just happened to her.

"Hehe." Ling Tian chuckled.

"By the way, do you want to go to a restaurant and have lunch with me there?" there were two reasons why she threw this question at him.

First, she was hungry.

Yu and Kui harassed her when she was on her way to a restaurant, so she had not had lunch yet.

And lastly, she wanted to show her gratitude by inviting him to have lunch with her.

Ling Tian was pleasantly surprised by the invitation. "Oh? Are you asking me out for a date?" 

Su Lingxi's lips curled up into a smile. "Yes. So, do you want to have lunch with me or not?"

"Sure." He accepted it immediately.

"Then let's go to the parking lot now." she uttered.

The parking lot was quite far, so they talked again.

"Are you still in college?" she asked this question because Ling Tian looked like someone in his early twenties. 

"I graduated two months ago." Ling Tian knew about this from his predecessor's memory. 

"So, you are twenty-two now?" she said something like this because normally, they would be twenty-two years old right out of college if everything went smoothly. 

"Twenty-one." He gave an honest answer. "I finished college in three years and ten days."

"Twenty-one? Finish college in three years?" she said in surprise because normally, it took them four years to finish college. "So, you are one of the smart people, huh?" 

"No. I'm not a smart person." He could not tell the truth. "I'm just an average young man."

Su Lingxi smiled softly after hearing his words.

'Finishing college in three years can only be achieved by smart and hardworking people. Calling himself an average young man is a little bit too much.' 

She liked his personality even more.

As the duo was talking, a young couple joked around behind them.

"Ming, catch me if you can." a young man ran past Ling Tian and Su Lingxi while laughing happily.

"Duan, stop running, or else I will punish you later." After saying that, the young woman chased her boyfriend.

When she was chasing her boyfriend, she subconsciously nudged Su Lingxi's right shoulder. 

The young woman did not stop running because she wanted to catch her boyfriend quickly.

"Lady Su…" when Ling Tian noticed that Su Lingxi was about to fall to the ground, he tried to save her. 

However, he failed to save her because he lost his balance after grabbing her right hand.

Bang!

The sound of him falling to the ground echoed in his ears.

Ling Tian did not feel any pain because he fell onto the grass.

Like Ling Tian, Su Lingxi also did not feel any pain because she fell on top of him.

After falling onto the grass, the duo did not stand up immediately; instead, they widened their eyes in surprise.

The reason for this was simple.

It was because their lips were pressed against each other!

In other words, they accidentally kissed after falling onto the grass.

Of course, Ling Tian and Su Lingxi did not stop the kiss immediately because the duo was still in a state of shock.

'This is…'
