Chapter 25: Don’t Do This

Shi Ran ran over to pull him.

“Lu Beiyan, let him go!”

“He didn’t do anything to me!”

But Lu Beiyan seemed to ignore her, still raising his fist, one punch after another, violently terrifying.

Suddenly, he picked up an iron chair nearby and raised it high.

“Lu Beiyan!”

Shi Ran’s pupils constricted sharply.

Just as the chair was about to come down, she closed her eyes and stood in front of Li Dong.

“Get out of the way!” Lu Beiyan held the chair high in the air, his hands stained with blood.

Li Dong was already bruised and swollen, and he began to cry and beg.

But Lu Beiyan looked at him expressionlessly, as if he were looking at a dead man.

Through Shi Ran, he looked at him, “Dare to touch her?”

His voice was chillingly cold, bone-chillingly cold. He chuckled, a laugh that resembled a devil’s smile.

“What are you?”

Shi Ran had never seen him in such a completely crazed state. Usually, he was aloof and taciturn, calm and composed, indifferent to everything.

Never like now, uncontrollably insane.

His eyes were filled with bloodlust, as if he wanted to devour someone alive.

He dropped the chair, making a terrifying sound as it hit the ground.

His hands were already stained with blood and many shards of glass, yet he slowly rolled up his right sleeve with his left hand.

He stepped forward, wanting to teach Li Dong another lesson.

Shi Ran’s eyes were slightly red with anxiety. She reached out and took Lu Beiyan’s hand, gently stroking it, as if soothing a raging beast.

“Lu Beiyan! He didn’t hurt me. It was Shi Keyue, it has nothing to do with him. Before you came, I had already turned him, he didn’t do anything to me, don’t… don’t go crazy, I… I’m scared.”

Lu Beiyan kicked the chair aside, grabbed the girl’s hand and pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t be afraid, Ranran, don’t be afraid, I’m here, no one can bully you.”

The sound was loud.

Even in this remote classroom, a crowd gathered to watch, and soon, the incident spread on the school forum, with a crowd gathering outside the classroom.

They saw Lu Beiyan, the calm and composed tycoon from the business world, holding their school’s newly-minted school belle.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman.

On the ground lay a person who was bruised and swollen, unrecognizable.

The entire classroom was in a mess.

Everyone was curious about what had happened.

“No one bullied me, Lu Beiyan, don’t do this, don’t go crazy, I’m scared.”

“Ayan~ Don’t do this.”

Hearing the girl’s sobbing, Lu Beiyan’s bloodthirsty gaze finally softened.

Seeing him calm down, Shi Ran wanted to look at Li Dong, but he immediately pulled her back.

Shi Ran was a little helpless, and shouted to the onlookers who were enjoying the drama: “Call 120!”

When Li Dong was carried away, he still had a little consciousness left. He glanced at Shi Ran with resentful eyes, “Didn’t you say I wouldn’t die?”

Shi Ran didn’t dare look at him, “Aren’t you still alive?”

The moment Li Dong was carried out of the classroom, Shi Ran understood his lip reading: “Your grandpa!”

“……”

“Ranran, what are you looking at?” Lu Beiyan was unhappy that her gaze wasn’t on him.

Shi Ran withdrew her gaze, sighed, and looked at his hands, which still had many shards of glass embedded in the flesh.

How painful that must be!

“Lu Beiyan, you say you’re almost thirty years old, do you know how impulsive you were just now? If that chair had come down, he would have lost his life, do you know that?”

Shi Ran still felt palpitations thinking about it.

“You almost killed someone!”

Lu Beiyan paused, forcing himself to suppress the coldness in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the girl, “No. I was just scaring him.”

“Scaring him?”

Shi Ran had seen his bloodthirsty look just now.

It was clearly not just a casual scare; he wanted Li Dong’s life.

Lu Beiyan kept nodding, hugging her again. In a place where she couldn’t see, his expression became terrifyingly sinister, but his words were gentle: “Ranran, really, I didn’t want to kill him, I just wanted to scare him.”

He couldn’t control himself when it came to Shi Ran.

At that moment, he really wanted to kill that man.

She can’t know my thoughts, she’ll be scared.

His upbringing taught Lu Beiyan to hide his bloodthirsty side, to be kind, to be loving, otherwise the people he loved would slowly leave him.

Because everyone wants to stay away from crazy people.

Especially crazy people like him who don’t care about the consequences.

Even his own mother didn’t want him.

Shi Ran couldn’t believe it was just a scare. Li Dong was beaten to the point where he couldn’t stand up. If she hadn’t stopped the chair in time, she didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.

She pushed him away and cleaned up the debris on the floor.

After Shi Ran put the desks and chairs back in place, she found that he was gone.

She went outside and saw him squatting on the ground, hugging his legs.

Only then did Shi Ran remember that his hands must be full of glass shards.

She walked towards the flower bed, but was hugged from behind before she took a step.

Lu Beiyan rested his head on the back of her neck, his voice choked: “Where are you going? You don’t want me anymore, do you? Ranran…”

His voice was pitiful, like an abandoned kitten.

Shi Ran’s heart softened immediately. Lu Beiyan was scary just now, but he did it for her.

She gently patted his back, “No, I’m going to get my phone.”

Lu Beiyan held her hand, hooking her little finger, unwilling to let go.

Shi Ran took a step, and he followed.

The phone was lying in the flower bed, among the weeds. Only the screen protector was slightly damaged, everything else was fine.

She pulled Lu Beiyan out, stopping abruptly as they left the school grounds. The school lights were dim at night, and they held hands. Perhaps because Lu Beiyan’s figure was too outstanding, they still attracted quite a bit of attention.

In the car, Shi Ran said: “Afei, go to the hospital.”

Lu Beiyan: “Not the hospital, go back to Xishan.”

“If we don’t go to the hospital, how will the wounds be treated?” Shi Ran sometimes felt that Lu Beiyan was really stubborn, like a child.

“Ranran, you treat them.”

•  

Xishan Villa.

Shi Ran carefully and gently treated Lu Beiyan’s hands. The glass shards mixed with fine sand blurred the wounds, scratching both palms.

She had no experience in treating wounds, and she didn’t know how much force to use.

But Lu Beiyan didn’t show any pain, instead, he looked at Shi Ran with a lovesick expression.

On the other hand, she frowned.

It was as if she was the one who was injured.

“Shi Keyue, what are you going to do?”

Hearing this, Shi Ran looked up, “Let her pay the price she deserves.”

“Don’t interfere, I’ll handle it.” Shi Ran said.
