Chapter 117 Jianghai University
Qin Hao looked at the little girl, her head covered in sweat, her lips pale and already beginning to crack.
The temperature in Jianghai City was very high, almost around thirty degrees, extremely hot.
Of course, this was also related to the large backpack she was carrying. If he wasn't mistaken, the backpack was also filled with mineral water.
Qin Hao had just gotten off the train not long ago and was already starting to sweat.
Ning Yao's cheeks were even more drenched in sweat; carrying so much was exhausting for a girl.
Qin Hao took out two yuan from his pocket, "Here, brother wants two bottles."
"Uh-huh, okay, brother." The little girl quickly set down her backpack, then unzipped it and took out two bottles of water.
She earnestly said, "Brother, here you go. This mineral water definitely hasn't been opened and refilled with tap water, you and sister can drink it without worries."
Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "Uh-huh, brother believes you."
After saying that, he handed Ning Yao a bottle, "Have some water, the weather in Jianghai City is really hot."
Ning Yao did not hesitate, as she was indeed quite thirsty; she had already finished her water on the train, "Thank you."
The little girl put her backpack on again and then went off to sell her water to other people.
However, she hadn't gone far when two scruffy-looking youths approached her.
One of them cursed as he walked over, "You little brat, who the hell allowed you to sell stuff here?"
The little girl's gaze turned timid, and she involuntarily took a step back, "I didn't sell on the plaza, I sold outside."
The blond youth said, "All of South Station is our territory, you can't sell anywhere here. I see you've sold quite a bit, hand over the money."
The little girl clutched her pocket, "No, I sold these myself, why should I give it to you?"
The blond youth pushed her, "Don't be ungrateful, you little brat."
The little girl was pushed to the ground, and immediately her eyes turned red, tears swirling in her eyes.
Not far away, Qin Hao and Ning Yao saw this scene, and their eyebrows furrowed.
Qin Hao could roughly understand what was happening; this area around South Station was the turf claimed by the blond, and others were not allowed to sell things here.
This sort of thing was common everywhere; such people were generally the local ruffians.
But treating a child this way, Qin Hao felt it was a bit too much.
He walked over and helped the little girl up, "Are you alright, little sister?"
"Thank you, brother." After getting up, the little girl hid behind him, timidly looking at the two with the blond hair.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Qin Hao turned to the blond youth and said, "Brother, this is a bit too much for a little girl."
The blond youth sized him up and said, "You're from out of town, right? I'd advise you not to meddle in others' business and get yourself into trouble."
Qin Hao, "This square is public, why can't the little girl sell things? Aren't you being too overbearing?"
The youth next to the blond cursed, "Kid, are you looking for trouble?"
Qin Hao pointed to an alley not far from the square and said, "I'll be waiting for you guys over there."
After saying that, he pulled his suitcase and walked toward there.
The blond was stunned for a moment, damn, this guy is so arrogant, but that suited him just fine.
The square was too crowded, and with police around, they dared not be so brazen as to start a fight.
Qin Hao headed straight for that alley, the little girl hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed him.
To be honest, Ning Yao really admired Qin Hao; in situations like this, people generally wouldn't stand up, fearing trouble.
She too followed along, though somewhat scared, she felt that it wasn't the time to leave alone.
...
In the alley, Qin Hao had just arrived when the blond brought three others with him, making a total of four people.
Huang Mao looked at Qin Hao and said, "Kid, you brought this all on yourself. Hit him."
At his command, the three men behind Huang Mao charged forward.
Qin Hao snorted coldly, raised his leg, and delivered a high kick with both great speed and force.
"Bang"
One of them was kicked in the chin and fell backward onto the ground.
Then Qin Hao threw a punch, hitting another in the chest. The man's face changed dramatically as he clutched his chest and fell to the ground.
The last man was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Qin Hao to have such sharp skills and to have taken down two men in an instant.
Without any pause in his movements, Qin Hao delivered a spinning kick to the man's neck.
Huang Mao was shocked, fear appearing in his eyes. No wonder he was so confident; he turned out to be a trained fighter.
Qin Hao looked at him and asked, "Do you still want to trouble the little girl?"
Showing awareness of the situation, Huang Mao replied, "Buddy, I didn't see the great mountain before me. I definitely won't trouble this little girl anymore."
The little girl's eyes were filled with admiration. This big brother was so formidable.
Ning Yao was also somewhat surprised. Wow, how handsome. He knows martial arts?
Qin Hao glanced coolly at Huang Mao, didn't strike again, and turned to walk away, pulling his suitcase behind him.
He said to the little girl, "You should head back soon."
"Mmm, thank you, Big Brother."
After the little girl left, Qin Hao and Ning Yao caught a taxi and headed directly to Jianghai University.
The taxi driver was very chatty. "Young man, are you here to study at Jianghai University?"
Qin Hao replied, "Mmm, yes, it's my first time in Jianghai City."
The driver smiled and asked, "Is this young lady your girlfriend?"
Hearing the driver's words, Ning Yao blushed slightly, and Qin Hao hurriedly explained, "No, we're from the same hometown, both from Jiangshan City."
"Sorry about that, miss. My mistake," the driver said with a chuckle.
Ning Yao replied softly, "No problem, uncle."
Suddenly remembering something, the driver asked, "Wasn't this year's top scorer in the national exam from Shuinan Province Jiangshan City? His name is Qin Hao, right?"
"That's right, he's from our Jiangshan City." Qin Hao didn't reveal that he was Qin Hao, as there was no need to.
The driver chatted with Qin Hao the whole way, and in less than an hour, they arrived on the street outside Jianghai University.
The street was too crowded with cars and people for the driver to enter, so he had to stop at the intersection.
While paying, Ning Yao insisted on paying, but Qin Hao stopped her and handed a hundred to the driver.
Once the taxi left, Qin Hao said with a smile, "It's just a few tens of yuan. Don't be so formal; we might even end up being classmates."
Ning Yao didn't insist any further, and the two of them, pulling their suitcases, walked toward the entrance of Jianghai University.
Along the few hundred meters, the roadsides were lined with cars, almost all of them luxury cars worth over a million.
Qin Hao even saw several super luxury cars worth tens of millions.
Jianghai City truly lived up to its name, not at all like the smaller scale of Jiangshan.
After walking for several minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the university.
The majestic stone pillars engraved with dragons and flowers conveyed a grand atmosphere, and the calligraphy of "Jianghai University" above was clearly the work of a master.
Looking at the gate and then inside, where trees cast cool shade and flowers and plants flourished, Ning Yao expressed her happiness, "So this is Jianghai University, it's beautiful."
