Volume 2: The Soaring Reaper Chapter 8: Ou Yang's Happiness

  Dragon Team, Medical Room.

  "Ah, it hurts so much!" Ou Yang Xuan suddenly let out a pained cry!

  Yingwu was startled while applying medicine to Ouyang Xuan's hands and said discontentedly, "What the hell, you scared me!"

  "Hehe, Brother Ouyang is so old, yet he still cries out in pain!" Lin Danhong stuck out her tongue and made a face on the side, taking pleasure in his misfortune.

  "Little furry head, I'll slash ten or eight scars on your hands too! Try to see if it hurts! Ahh——!" Ouyang Xuan let out another miserable cry, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

  "Alright, stop calling!" Xiyuan, who was looking at the computer screen on the side, turned back with a smile and said curiously: "Ouyang, I have some good news for you, your corpse poison doesn't need to be resolved!"

  "Why? Are you going to just stand by and watch me die?" Ouyang Xuan said discontentedly.

  "What's going on!?" Xijuan glared at him fiercely before saying: "The test results show that there is no corpse poison in your body, so there's no need to antidote!"

  "Huh? No way! Ouyang Ming was clearly injured by the zombies!" Lin Danfeng's face was full of astonishment.

  Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan came back to his senses and thought to himself: "Ah ha! I understand now! It's probably because Zhu Rong and Chi Bao's internal elixir can neutralize all poisons, so I don't need treatment at all!" He exclaimed: "Great, that means I'll suffer a bit less. Ah ha!"

  "What's going on!" Lin Danfeng looked at Ouyang Xuan with a puzzled expression, "Logically speaking, a zombie like Mao Jiang should not be affected by ordinary fire, but today he was burned so badly by you. Moreover, you're not afraid of corpse poison, it's really hard to understand! Ouyang, do you have some kind of secret on your body?"

  "Right, there must be a secret, come on and confess!" Lin Dan's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he stood with his hands on his hips, staring at Ouyang Xuan.

  "Haha, no way!" Ouyang Xuan denied with a smile, "Even if I did, I wouldn't know myself. I'm just a newly completed mutant, I don't even understand myself, let alone this An Zu!"

  "That's strange! However, you seem to be born with the ability to restrain zombies and other monsters, and you're not afraid of corpse poison either. So when we fight against zombies again, we'll have a bit more chance of winning!" Lin Danfeng couldn't think it through, so he didn't think about it anymore.

  "Hehe, that's it!" Ouyang Xuan became somewhat complacent.

  Suddenly, the door of the medical room opened and several people walked in.

  "Ouyang, are you alright!?" Just then, it was Anzi, the leader of the Special Operations Unit.

  "Don't worry, Captain!"

  "Look at him gloating!"

  "I knew it was nothing!"

  "But it looks terrible!"

  "How humiliating!"

  Needless to say, these were the five Pong brothers.

  Ouyang Xuan was so angry that his teeth itched, and he said in a bad temper: "Don't gloat over others' misfortunes. If you were in my shoes, who knows, maybe you'd be even worse off than me!"

  "Alright, alright, no more arguing! Ou Yang, you've done a great job, I represent the government in thanking you!" An Qi said seriously.

  "Nothing, since your family dragged me onto this pirate ship, I haven't planned on going easy!" Ouyang Xuan sneered.

  "Haha……!" The room was filled with laughter.

  "Ah, you little scamp!" An Qi shook his head helplessly and said seriously: "Ouyang, I know this time the Miao Jie matter is very troublesome, but for now the country can only rely on the three of you to resolve this matter. I hope you can understand the country's difficulties, not be afraid of hardship, and use all your strength to complete the task!"

  "Squad leader, don't worry! We are soldiers after all, and as soldiers we have nothing to fear!" Ou Yang Xuan nodded.

  "Alright! Ouyang, Danfeng, Danhong, I estimate that the zombies have suffered heavy casualties from you and won't appear again for a while. You all rest here for two days, then think of a way to deal with Mao Jiangzi later. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know!" Anxin said solemnly.

  "Understood!" The Lin siblings nodded in unison.

  "That won't do, team leader, I have to go back to school when the sky brightens up!" Ouyang Xuan didn't want to stay here, he was afraid that Luo Qi, Liu Chuan and Huang Fu Yiling would worry!

  "Suit yourself, just take care of your rest, I'll leave first!" An Qi thought for a moment and agreed.

  Anqi walked away, and Lin Danhong smiled mischievously: "Ouyang brother, you're in such a hurry to go back, are you thinking of your girlfriend?"

  Ouyang Xuan was enraged by Xiao Yatou's words, and loudly said: "Little brat, what business is it of yours! If you dare to provoke me again, be careful or I'll beat you up!"

  "Don't move around, I'm applying medicine!" Ying Wu's face changed and he fiercely pinched Ouyang Xuan's thigh.

  "Oh no——!" Ouyang Xuan suddenly let out a miserable cry, this "Eagle Claw" had pinched him so hard that his eyes were almost tearing up!

  "Ouyang, do you have a girlfriend?" Xijuan seemed to ask casually, but her eyes had a sharp and piercing gaze.

  Ouyang Xuan immediately became vigilant and said seriously: "Who has, hehe, who can look up to me except for my two sisters?"

  "You're at it again with your big mouth!" Ying Wu seemed both delighted and enraged, fiercely unleashing another 'Dragon Claw Hand'!

  "Wow——!" This time Ouyang Xuan couldn't hold it in anymore, his eyes brimming with tears.

  The room was suddenly filled with a mixture of cheers and jeers.

  The class is about to start, but Ou Yang Xuan's figure has yet to be seen.

  Huangfu Yiling's face was a bit strange, and suddenly she saw Luo Qi and Liu Chuan swaying in like a pair of second-generation ancestors. She beckoned to them: "Luo Qi, Liu Chuan, come over here for a moment!"

  "Hehe, big sister, what can I help you with? Little brother will definitely serve!" The two of them hurriedly and shamelessly crowded around.

  Huangfu Yiling's face turned slightly red, and she said somewhat awkwardly: "Don't talk nonsense, who is your eldest sister? Where is Ouyang, why didn't he come with you two?"

  Luochi looked at Liu Chuan with a surprised expression and smiled ambiguously: "Last night, Ouyang and your sister went out together, he didn't come back all night, we thought that Ouyang and the eldest sister had found a good place to fulfill their hundred-year-old love, so they didn't dare disturb them. How was it? Didn't Ouyang stay with the eldest sister last night?"

  "Heh heh!" Liu Chuan smiled with ulterior motives and winked at Luo Qi.

  Huangfu Yiling's face turned bright red with shame, and she became short of breath. She stretched out her slender jade hands and fiercely twisted the arms of Luo Qi and Liu Chuan!

  "Ah! So painful, so painful! Big sister spare our lives!" Liu Chuan and Luo Qi cried out in pain, begging for mercy.

  These few cries of surprise instantly attracted the attention of the whole class.

  Huangfu Yiling's face turned crimson as she lowered her voice and glared at the two of them, saying: "What nonsense are you talking about? Ouyang wasn't with me last night either. He said there was an urgent matter in the department and left! How come he didn't come back last night?"

  "No!" Rochi and Liu Chuan painfully wiped away their tears, shaking their heads in confusion.

  "Could it be that Ouyang has run into trouble!?" Huangfu Yiling felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.

  Suddenly, the light at the classroom door dimmed, and Ou Yang Xuan, dressed impeccably but with thick bandages wrapped around both hands, walked in abruptly.

  "Ah?!" The room suddenly fell silent, and for a moment, there was no sound of birds chirping or people speaking. Everyone was shocked, their jaws almost dropping to the floor.

  "Me? I'm Ou Yang. How did you get hurt again just a few days after being discharged?" Liu Chuan quickly reacted, looking puzzled.

  "Is that so, Ouyang? Weren't you arguing with someone over who could eat the most vinegar last night and ended up in a big fight?" Luo Qi's face was extremely strange as he secretly glanced at Huangfu Yiling!

  Huang Pu Yiling was also very surprised, and hurried to Ou Yang Xuan's side, anxiously tearfully saying: "Ou Yang, what happened to you! How could one night pass without seeing you, and yet you're injured like this?!"

  The classroom was very quiet, everyone was leaning in to listen.

  Ouyang Xuan had already fabricated a beautiful lie, coughed and said proudly: "This is what happened! Last night, after finishing the task and coming back, I just happened to encounter two or three scoundrels bullying a weak woman! Brothers and sisters, when encountering such things, as a man, you must rush forward, don't you think? So, I bravely rushed up, and as a result, I chased away those three scoundrels, but I was also seriously injured. Look, I spent a night in the hospital, what bad luck!"

  "How can you be so stupid, why did you rush up yourself, couldn't you just call the police?! Look, now you're hurt!" Huang Pu Yiling was both shocked and frightened, tears almost streaming down her face.

  "Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, just a minor injury!" Ouyang Xuan smiled and comforted Huangfu Yiling.

  "Wishing Ou Yang and Class Monitor a hundred years of harmony and happiness!" Suddenly, someone mischievously shouted out loud!

  "Aaaaah——aaaaah——!" The room was suddenly filled with a chorus of howls.

  Ouyang Xuan and Huangfu Yiling suddenly reacted, their faces turning bright red.

  "Cough cough, class has started, why is it so noisy!" Suddenly, a middle-aged female teacher in her 40s appeared at the classroom door, with a kind and gentle expression.

  The sky is the class teacher - Professor Zhang of Economics and Management, and the room quieted down after a brush!

  Ouyang Xuan was startled and made a gesture with his eyes towards Huangfu Yiling before attempting to slip away.

  Who would have thought that Teacher Zhang had sharp eyes, and at a glance, he saw Ouyang Xuan's injured hands. His face changed color, and he hastily asked: "Ouyang, what's going on with your hands? Did you get into a fight outside of school?"

  "No, no! Teacher Zhang, it's like this: Ouyang heroically saved a beauty last night and chased away several thugs. As a result, he got slightly injured!" Liu Chuan hastily explained.

  "Is that so, Ouyang!?" Teacher Zhang looked at Ouyang Xuan with some doubt.

  Ouyang Xuan fainted, had no choice, could only force himself to 'humbly' say: "It's like that, Teacher Zhang."

  "Oh, I see. I said that Ouyang classmate is usually very steady, how can he fight with people?! It's great, Ouyang classmate is heroic and bravely injured, this matter deserves praise. I'll report to the school immediately, let's see if we can make a model out of it and give an award!" Zhang teacher was suddenly invigorated, the student's honor is also her honor, how can she not be enthusiastic!

  "It's all over!" Ouyang Xuan was stunned, secretly cursing in his heart, and frantically waved his hand: "This, Teacher Zhang, I did a good deed without seeking fame, so there's no need to reward me! Moreover, the girl I saved took advantage of my fight with the thug to slip away, it's impossible to find her now. Without evidence, others might even think I'm faking it!"

  "What!?" Teacher Zhang's face suddenly fell in disappointment, indignantly saying: "Nowadays people are like this, someone saves her but instead runs away themselves, too immoral! Ouyang, since you're injured, is it serious? Otherwise, I'll approve a few days off for you to rest!"

  "It's nothing, just a minor scratch on the skin, it'll be fine in two or three days! Thank you, teacher, for your concern!" Ouyang Xuan said with feigned gratitude.

  "Alright then, class is starting, everyone take your seats!" Teacher Zhang looked at Ouyang Xuan and a few others with satisfaction and nodded.

  Everyone was like they had just received a great amnesty, and they hastily retreated back to their seats in threes and twos.

  Ouyang Xuan sat beside Huangfu Yiling and whispered with a smile, "Lingling, I can't move my hand, can you help me take notes?"

  "Go ahead!" Huangfu Yiling slightly turned her head, her two clear and enchanting eyes sparkled, and she smiled lightly: "But how will you repay me?"

  "At noon I'll invite you to lunch, and if that's not enough, let me kiss you!" Ouyang Xuan said in a serious and low voice.

  "Pfft, who cares!" Huang Fu Yiling spat lightly.

  "Damn it, pervert!" "Alas, you've forgotten our friendship for a pretty face!"

  Rochi and Liu Chuan exchanged a look, raising an eyebrow and exchanging a meaningful glance.

  Ouyang Xuan's face turned red with anger, and he glared at the two of them fiercely. He secretly glanced at the class teacher on the podium and muttered: "Who told you to slack off!"

  "Stop messing around and listen!" Huangfu Yiling twisted Ou Yangxuan's waist fiercely, somewhat angrily.

  "Yes, yes!" Ouyang Xuan dared not make any more noise and began to listen seriously.

  Still that Western restaurant, still those two seats by the window.

  Ouyang Xuan and Huangfu Yiling sat opposite each other, with several delicious Western pastries in between them.

  "How am I supposed to eat this?!" Ouyang Xuan looked at his hands wrapped like a rice dumpling with a bitter face.

  "Hehe, you can't have any, starve to death!" Huangfu Yiling made a face and started eating leisurely by herself.

  "Unbelievable, wife! Are you going to starve your husband to death?" Ouyang Xuan feigned shock, his face full of 'fear'.

  "Pfft, who's your wife!" Huangfu Yiling's delicate and smooth cheeks flushed again.

  "Hehe, you're my wife. Wife, will you feed me?" Ouyang Xuan once again put down the emotional knot in his heart and restored his optimistic and humorous attitude towards life.

  "It's not good, there are many people here!" Huang Fu Yiling turned her face and secretly looked around, feeling a bit embarrassed.

  "Fine, you don't care about me? Then I'll just starve to death!" Ouyang Xuan's face turned stern, feigning a look of indignation.

  "Alright, alright, I'll feed you!" Huangfu Yiling's face turned red as she lowered her head and frantically stabbed at the steak in front of her with a fork!

  "Hey, wife, this steak has a grudge against you for eight lifetimes, if you stab it again it'll be shattered to pieces!" Ouyang Xuan smiled: "You should take care of your husband me first, if I don't get to eat something I'll starve to death!"

  "Hmm!" Huangfu Yiling's face turned red as if water was about to drip from it, extremely shyly picking up a piece of steak from the plate and sending it to Ouyang Xuan's mouth.

  "Thanks, wife!" Ouyang Xuan was satisfied with the steak, chewing it in his mouth, feeling that the world's delicacies were nothing compared to this, truly fresh and incomparable!

  "Look at this young couple, so loving!"

  Many people around witnessed this scene, with envy and admiration on their faces, whispering to each other!

  Ouyang Xuan's face was thick-skinned, but he didn't care, and instead felt somewhat self-satisfied.

  Huangfu Yiling was a bit shy, and now she was even more embarrassed, slightly lowering her head, mechanically feeding Ou Yangxuan. A few times, her jade-like hands trembled with shyness, almost stuffing the steak into Ou Yangxuan's nose.

  ……

  A meal that only lasted half an hour, Ouyang Xuan who was extremely happy earlier had a huge change in expression when it came to paying the bill.

  Two steaks, a few Western-style desserts, and two cups of coffee cost 500 yuan! Ouyang Xuan, who was normally frugal, felt a great deal of pain, but after thinking about what he had gained, his mood became cheerful again.
