Until the Warrior Vehicle disappeared from Lin's sight, he was still staring in the direction the vehicle had gone, his gaze somewhat vacant, lost in thought.
Logically, Lin and Lu Liang had only met once, and that was due to a fight; it shouldn't have been like this.
Life is unpredictable. In the case of two hot-headed ordinary youths, they might have become bitter rivals.
But Lin and Lu Liang were different; they both possessed exceptional talents and had stood atop mountains overlooking the world, albeit in different fields.
Arrogance knows no boundaries; it is a unique quality. When two similar forces collide, they first confront each other before eventually appreciating one another.
Lu Liang couldn't cook, but he could appreciate good food. Although Lin's martial arts talent wasn't that high yet, he was working hard.
Thus, there was nothing insurmountable between them. Moreover, Lu Liang had already taken the initiative to lower his head and show goodwill towards Lin.
Perhaps both of them were too lonely, lacking companions who could share that solitude. After enduring the cold winds atop the mountain, they both sought someone with whom they could share a drink and discuss their thoughts.
In this light, it wasn't that Lin's reaction had changed too much.
It was only a matter of time before they became kindred spirits who understood each other; it was just a matter of what would break through the thin barrier between them.
Coincidentally, today's conversation shattered Lin Xin's final defenses, forcing him to confront that solitary companion.
As for Lu Liang, after being defeated by Lin, he realized that his lifelong solitude had come to an end.
In this life, he sought only one defeat; yet despite being a prodigy, he had never experienced a humiliating loss.
The moment Lu Liang was defeated by someone else marked the breaking of his arrogance as he stepped down from his solitary peak.
That moment, before the Warrior Exchange, when Lin defeated Lu Liang and pulled him down from his pedestal, was by another equally indifferent youth named Lin...
This is The Melody of Fate. Life will never allow anyone to be lonely forever; it’s just a matter of when that confidant will arrive.
For Lin, this is also a "milestone." The loneliness he has felt for years has finally cracked open a gap today. Besides Fatty, more and more people will walk into his heart in the future...
Whether it’s concern, love, pity, or understanding... his pale emotions have been brushed with the first stroke of vibrant color...
...
"Hey! Bro! What are you looking at? The car has already disappeared, and you're still staring!"
Fatty waved his hand in front of Lin's face, shouting loudly with a strange smile on his face.
Lin blinked, coming back to his senses. He gazed at the spot where the vehicle had vanished, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile as he murmured softly, "Lü Liang, an interesting fellow."
"What are you rambling about? Bro, you’re not falling for that Delinquent Girl, are you? I can see that reluctant look in your eyes!"
Clearly, this annoying Fatty could talk endlessly once he had a moment to spare; his chatter began again without any relevance.
With a scoff, Lin raised an eyebrow and turned his head away. The smile at the corner of his mouth grew even stranger as he fixed his gaze on Fatty's Mung Bean eyes. His narrowed eyes sparkled as if they could see through one's thoughts.
"Fatty, step back two paces," he said, raising both hands and shouting, "Bro, let’s talk it out; don’t hit me! Even if you do... don’t hit my face!"
Lin stepped forward, locking his gaze onto Fatty's eyes, his smile becoming increasingly eerie.
The distance between them was very close. Fatty swallowed hard as he noticed what seemed like a sharp light in Lin's eyes piercing straight into his heart.
"Hey, do you know there’s a saying called 'the thief shouts to catch the thief,' and another saying called 'frenemies'?" Lin's smile grew even more intense.
"What?" Fatty's body trembled as if he realized something, and he couldn't help but lower his gaze, afraid to meet Lin's eyes.
"Who exactly has their eye on that Delinquent Girl? You know in your heart."
Lin poked Fatty in the chest, smiled without saying a word, and then gracefully turned to leave, leaving Fatty Chen standing there in a daze.
Fatty hesitated, his fingers fidgeting restlessly. He felt as if he were stripped bare and exposed on the street, suddenly feeling a flush on his face.
For someone as shameless as Fatty to react this way, it seemed Lin De was quite close to the truth.
There is a kind of understanding called meeting too late.
There is a kind of romance called love at first sight.
...
As soon as Lin turned around, Yan Shan leaned in again, fixing her hair that had been tousled by the wind, smiling brightly and wanting to say something to Lin.
"Smack!" A dull sound echoed.
Lin's palm pressed against Yan Shan's shoulder, pushing her away from him, then coldly refused, "You're in the way!"
His impression of this woman was already poor. She kept trying to charm him, and with Lin Jin in a good mood, he felt more reckless, as if he had just won a battle.
It was like years ago when he first returned victorious from the Culinary God arena, basking in glory!
Yan Shan stumbled back two steps, momentarily stunned, watching Lin walk away into the distance.
By the time Yan Shan reacted, a fire ignited in her eyes. Ever since she arrived at Warrior Exchange, she had been an invincible presence, managing to win over even the most difficult male clients time and again.
She had a sweet voice, laced with charm, and her skills in seduction were said to be exceptional, capable of driving men to extreme excitement... Thus, she was unbeatable.
However, recently, she had repeatedly suffered setbacks with Lin. Her irresistible beauty seemed to be completely ignored by this young man. How could that not infuriate Yan Shan?
Opening her mouth in anger, Yan Shan felt unwilling to accept this and was about to shout something more.
"Excuse me!"
Fatty's hefty figure squeezed past Yan Shan and pushed her aside once again, muttering, "Beautiful lady, excuse me! Your chest is too big; it's blocking my way!"
"Hey, wait for me!" Fatty shouted loudly as he hurried after Lin.
Only a stunned Yan Shan was left behind, her hair disheveled, feeling as if her world had collapsed in that moment.
In the next instant, her expression shifted suddenly; her anger slowly concealed itself, replaced by a look of resentment...
After all, the most venomous heart belongs to a woman. Lin and Fatty's momentary whimsy and reckless behavior had sown the seeds of a hidden danger for them...
Although Lin and Yan Shan were not to be trifled with, it wouldn't stop her from employing some underhanded tactics!
She was a terrifying woman with an alluring appearance, a clever mind, a patient heart, and a vengeful spirit.
Do not underestimate a woman's resentment; it would become a ticking time bomb buried beneath Lin's feet, ready to explode at any moment!
Hi! It's also Lin's fault for being so reckless earlier, attracting this resentment; he brought it upon himself!
Let's consider it a form of training!
His heart is still too proud, and he inadvertently reveals an imposing aura that easily offends others.
The hostile gazes behind him, Lin and Fatty remain completely unaware.
Fatty is still stubbornly arguing, "Bro, what did you mean just now? I didn't quite catch that!"
"Stubborn as a dead duck."
Lin scoffed; how could he not see through Fatty's thoughts?
Done, Lin no longer wanted to argue with Fatty. He didn't care about that issue; Fatty could like whoever he wanted. In any case, if he ended up marrying a Mother Tiger, it wouldn't be him who would suffer.
"Poverty Old Man, what brings you here?"
Looking up again, Lin wore a respectful smile on his face.
There stood Poverty Old Man in front of the sports car, dressed in a colorful beach outfit, wearing sunglasses, with his hands stuffed in his pockets, looking quite peculiar.
