Yolanda Fang's eyes landed on the bag in Evan Lin's hand. She recognized it instantly—she'd seen that same bag before at Lynn Chen's house.
Ethan Yi shot Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin a cautious glare. After seeing Evan joking and chatting with Yolanda Fang on the soccer field, he'd gotten a bad feeling about him.
It was like a lion sizing up another lion that dared to trespass on its turf.
Even though Ethan Yi actually liked Rachel Liu more and always ignored Yolanda's relentless pursuit, he still couldn't stand seeing another guy get close to the girl who liked him.
Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin just gave Ethan Yi a cool glance, barely sparing him half a second before turning toward the doorway, where Yolanda Fang stood hesitating.
"Lynn Chen asked me to bring this for you. Since you're here, I'll hand it over directly." Evan walked over to Yolanda Fang, flashed a quick smile, placed the bag in her arms, then shoved his hands into his pockets and strode off toward his own classroom.
"I'm talking to you—didn't you hear me?" Ethan Yi stepped up, blocking Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin's path, his brows furrowed.
Ethan Yi had already been annoyed with Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin back on the soccer field.
Everyone at school knew Yolanda Fang liked Ethan Yi, Mia Chen was off-limits as Liu Tianyu's girlfriend, and Buck Niu was chasing Rachel Liu.
Basically, all the campus beauties were already spoken for.
Normally, if Ethan Yi spotted some loser trailing Yolanda Fang, he'd just let it slide. He figured she'd have no problem sending any pests packing on her own.
But when it came to Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin, Ethan Yi felt something different this time.
"Move." Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin fixed Ethan Yi with a level stare—his voice was calm, his face even calmer.
Unlike other guys, he didn't shrink or feel intimidated just because Ethan Yi was around.
"So you're Evan Lin from Class 7—the guy who confessed to Rachel Liu and got decked by Buck Niu on the soccer field?"
Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin stared back at Ethan Yi, silent and unmoved.
Behind them, Yolanda Fang froze for a moment. She'd wondered before if Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin was that unlucky kid who got beat down after confessing to Rachel Liu, but somehow it didn't add up.
Back at Imperial Grand KTV, Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin had fought his way through a whole crowd solo. There was no way someone with that kind of fighting power could've been knocked out by Buck Niu, no matter what the rumors said—Yolanda Fang just couldn't believe it.
"So what if I am?" Evan "Nine Mysteries" Lin replied, totally unfazed, making Ethan Yi pause for a moment.
