Lin Yi had already prepared himself mentally before calling Xiaolan out.
But preparation is preparation.
When something happened, Lin Yi was still a little uneasy.
Especially now, Xiaolan's eyes made Lin Yi shudder.
That kind of look, how does it feel like she wants to eat me.
"Ran?"
Lin Yi didn't have much experience dealing with yanderes, having only dealt with Ono Yoko.
So, he didn't know what to do and tried to communicate with her.
"What... happened to you?" Lin Yi tried to make his voice sound as soft as possible.
"I feel like... I should do something right now."
Xiao Ran crushed the soda can in her hand with a crack, then tossed it aside. The can traced a beautiful arc through the air before landing in the trash can with a clatter.
"What... do something?"
Lin Yi vaguely sensed a murderous aura from Xiao Ran and slowly lowered the plastic bag.
"Because you're too popular, Yi."
Xiao Ran took two steps toward Lin Yi, her face full of grievance. "Look, even while walking in the park, someone will hit on you and even proactively give you their phone number."
"I... I didn't mean to." Lin Yi said while backing away. "It's not my fault... You saw it too, I just gave her a hand, and she came over to hit on me. I didn't want this to happen either."
"I know it's not your fault."
Xiao Ran quickened her pace and said, "But, who told you to be so well-liked by girls?"
Lin Yi also quickened his backward steps. "That's not my fault either, is it? And besides, having all of you is enough for me..."
Xiao Ran pressed closer step by step. "If that's the case... then promise me one thing."
"What thing?" Lin Yi asked back.
"Stop first," Xiao Ran said.
"You stop first, then I'll stop." Lin Yi was very vigilant. He had to keep his distance from Xiao Ran, worried she might suddenly throw a flying kick.
Xiao Ran pouted and said unhappily, "Do you not trust me?"
Your aura is so fierce, and your favorability is almost over two thousand. How can I trust you!
Lin Yi said seriously, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that your current state is a bit bad... Look at your fists, don't you think you're clenching them a bit tight?"
"Eh? Am I?"
Xiao Ran looked down at her fists; they were indeed clenched tight. She said embarrassedly, "You caught me..."
Lin Yi stopped first, then raised his hand to signal her to stop. "Tell me... what do you want to do?"
Xiao Ran cooperated and stopped. She said with a serious face, "I want to break your limbs."
"????"
Lin Yi felt like there was something wrong with his ears. He couldn't help but confirm, "You want to... break my limbs?"
"Mm-hmm." Xiao Ran nodded. Judging from her serious expression, she didn't seem to be joking.
But how could anyone accept such a condition!
Lin Yi felt himself break out in a cold sweat. "Can I ask you... why do you want to break my limbs? Why do something so cruel?"
"I don't want to do something so cruel either."
Xiao Ran looked aggrieved, on the verge of tears. "But... besides doing this, I really can't think of any other way."
"..."
Lin Yi felt a pain in his groin. "Can't we communicate properly? Besides, what good does it do you to break my limbs? Furthermore, if my limbs are broken, when we do that kind of thing in the future, you'll have to do all the work yourself."
"Positions like the Knight or the Dragon Rider... we won't be able to do them anymore."
Hearing this, a look of hesitation appeared on Xiao Ran's face, but she quickly became firm in her thoughts again.
She said, "It's okay! It doesn't matter if we can't do those! It's you as a person that I love."
Lin Yi was somewhat speechless. "But if you break my limbs, I won't be a complete person anymore..."
"It's okay, I don't mind. I'll take care of you anyway."
Xiao Ran said happily, "I really love you, Yi. Even if you're completely paralyzed, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life!"
Who wants to be completely paralyzed, you bastard!
Lin Yi took a deep breath and began to adjust his emotions.
He said, "It seems we have nothing to talk about."
The smile on Xiao Ran's face froze, and she looked a bit downcast. "Is it really not okay? Yi. Do you not believe that I'll take care of you for the rest of my life?"
"I believe you."
Lin Yi nodded. "But I don't want to lie in bed for the rest of my life... I have my own life too!"
"Is having me in your life not enough?"
Xiao Ran angrily threw her bag on the ground. Using the power in her legs, she jumped directly from a standstill and launched a flying kick.
This gave Lin Yi a start.
Is there anyone in the world who can do a flying kick without a running start?
Are you kidding me?
Is it okay to just ignore Newton like that?
No need to think twice; when something unscientific happens, the System must be behind it!
Lin Yi dodged hurriedly. Xiao Ran's foot brushed past his clothes, narrowly missing him.
Who knew that after Xiao Ran landed, she would bend her legs to absorb the impact and immediately follow up with a back-kick.
Facing this spinning kick, Lin Yi blocked it with both hands and immediately grabbed her calf.
Seeing that she couldn't pull her calf back, Xiao Ran twisted her waist and swung her other leg toward Lin Yi's head.
Xiao Ran's waist strength was exceptionally good; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to be a Female Knight.
Thus, this kick came with great force.
Lin Yi could only let go of her calf. After backing away to dodge, he prepared to rush forward and restrain Xiao Ran while she was recovering her leg.
However, Ran supported herself with both hands on the ground and performed a backflip.
Her feet swept from front to back, drawing a circle in the air.
Lin Yi stopped abruptly, leaning his head back to dodge those long legs, his eyes widening in disbelief as he watched Ran stand back up.
Lin Yi couldn't help but say, "Aren't you learning Karate? Why are there so many flashy moves?"
Ran was in no mood to answer Lin Yi. She charged straight at him, unleashing the Karate she had practiced for years.
Using both fists and feet, her attacks were incredibly fierce.
If it were an ordinary person, she would have beaten them to death by now.
Fortunately, Lin Yi was no ordinary person; he was a Combat Expert.
Facing Ran's storm-like assault, he was able to withstand it.
If it were an ordinary person, Lin Yi could not only block but also counterattack, defeating the enemy in one move.
But since his opponent was Ran, Lin Yi couldn't find an opportunity to counter; her Karate had indeed reached a high level of mastery.
This made it impossible for Lin Yi to end it in one move.
Counterattacking rashly would only result in Ran getting hurt.
And since Ran was one of his own, he couldn't use heavy hands.
This left him feeling very frustrated.
The best way forward was a defensive tactic: wear down Ran's stamina and counterattack when she was out of breath.
However, just taking hits wasn't Lin Yi's style.
He timed Ran's Middle Kick, immediately abandoned his defensive stance, tanked the kick, and lunged forward.
The sudden change startled Ran, but by the time she snapped out of it, Lin Yi had already lunged at her. She subconsciously threw a punch toward his nose.
Lin Yi protected his handsome face with his hands and tackled Ran directly onto the grass.
