Chapter 1341 - 1355: Rest Assured and Go
Ding Liang felt a sharp pain on his face, and he couldn’t figure out how such a pretty little foot could pack such a punch.
His face was probably swollen now, and he might even have some internal injuries. He tasted rust in his mouth and wasn’t sure if his beautiful white teeth were still intact.
He Qing walked over, shook his head at his brother, who was shielding his crotch with both hands, and kindly wiped his wide-open eyes, "Brother, leave this to me, you can go with peace of mind."
Ding Liang closed his eyes following his gesture, suddenly feeling that brothers who share life and death come through in critical moments.
At this point, perhaps the best thing would be to have a moment of peace in front of him. After all, he rarely got to accompany his captain on an outing and be a groomsman for Young Master Gu, one of the Five Young Masters of the Imperial City. When he first heard this news, he was so proud and spirited in front of his teammates.
But now, his valiant first battle ended with his pants ripped in front of so many people. Where was he to put his face?
Better not to see it at all.
Yet, on second thought, wasn’t this akin to covering one’s ears and stealing a bell?
Ding Liang jolted awake and saw dozens of eyes looking at him from different directions. Ignoring everything else, he clenched his legs and jumped up, hopping three steps over to his vice captain, "Vice Captain, for the sake of our shared struggles, can you lend me a pair of pants?"
Lin Junyang raised an eyebrow meaningfully, "Do you want to wear the same pants as your vice captain? Make sure you know what you came here for today. If you really wear the same pants as your vice captain, can you handle the consequences?"
Ding Liang glanced at the captain behind him, with his naturally dazzling aura, gritted his teeth, and nodded decisively, "I’ve thought it through. Please, Vice Captain, grant me a pair of pants."
At this moment, he couldn’t care about much else. He could endure facing the men and women of the Lin Family and the Gu Family, but he felt his face burning when facing the women across from him.
Lin Junyang nodded with satisfaction and beckoned a nearby guard to take him away to change clothes.
Before he left, Ding Liang looked longingly at the valiant female team member. No big deal, but he saw He Qing perform a side kick, sending Chen Yuanyuan flying, despite her defensive posture with arms over her chest.
Just then, almost by instinct, Ding Liang stretched out his hands determined to protect his crotch, stepped hard with his toes, and opened his arms, catching the flying woman in a full embrace.
"Smack—"
A crisp sound echoed as Ding Liang’s other cheek was hit with a slap, leaving both cheeks blazing like a young bride ready to marry.
Chen Yuanyuan was also stunned after delivering that slap, as it was an instinctive reaction.
Originally, she had prepared herself to hit the ground but unexpectedly landed in a warm embrace, which seemed to have touched her chest inappropriately.
So she slapped the scoundrel who appeared to be trying to molest her without thinking, not expecting it was Ding Liang whom she had just kicked.
Seeing the footprint on his left cheek and the slap mark on his right, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little guilty. Just as she was about to step forward to say a few words of comfort, Ding Liang dashed indoors as if he’d seen a ghost.
