Back Then, I Adored You Chapter 314 - No Matter Whose Fault it is, Does it Really Matter? (4)

The wooden stick moved toward her face. The breeze created by the stick’s movement blew into Lin Yi’s eyelashes and made them tremble, which pulled her back to reality. Then she looked at the stick that was moving straight toward her cheek, and she suddenly shouted loudly, “Save me—”

Before she finished the word, her words suddenly turned into screaming. “Ah—”

The stick was getting closer and closer to her, two feet, a foot and a half, a foot… six inches… Lin Yi was so scared that her whole body trembled. Her voice was hoa.r.s.e as she gave a trembling cry.

When the stick was only a few inches from the tip of her nose, there were tears falling from the corners of her eyes. In a panic, she opened her mouth and tried very hard to scream for a long time, but only managed to utter a few “ah” sounds.

Four inches, three inches, two inches… Even if the more bold people were fixated on this scene, they still felt pity for her.

However, when it was only half an inch away from her, the stick seemed to be fixed, and suddenly stayed still.

Gu Yusheng, who had originally been standing next to Qin Zhi’ai when he threw out the stick, had come in front of Lin Yi without anyone noticing. He took control of time. In the most crucial second, he once again grasped the stick.

Everyone present, whether they liked Lin Yi or not, was so shocked by the thrilling scene that they all took a few deep breaths.

Lin Yi seemed to have lost her soul. She kept her mouth open without a reaction. Even the tears in her eyes stopped falling.

After more than a minute, Lin Yi recovered from the shock. She just moved her eyes. Gu Yusheng suddenly slammed the wooden stick in his hand against the wall behind her.

With a deafening squeaking sound, the wooden stick broke into countless pieces. The sawdust and wood chips fell down on Lin Yi. Some of the sharp wood chips scratched her exposed skin and faint trails of blood came out.

It seemed that Gu Yusheng didn’t see her wounds at all. Without any pity, using a small section of the broken stick left in his hand, he lifted Lin Yi’s chin and then bent over slightly. He stared at Lin Yi’s eyes condescendingly. Then he said forcefully, word by word, “Today, I choose you to punish, as a warning to all people. From now on, provoking her is the same as provoking me!

“So I’m warning everyone. You can choose to get along with her well or stay out of her sight!”

The man’s expression looked extraordinarily cold, and there was a majestic anger radiating from his whole body that scared Lin Yi to instinctively retreat and shrink into her body. Clinging to the green background cloth, she s.h.i.+vered continuously.

It’s obvious that I was the person who was framed. Although I made an impulsive movement out of anger, the real fault isn’t mine … Why? Why choose me as an example to warn others?

Although Lin Yi was very afraid, she was even more dissatisfied. She pressed her pale lips together hard, then said to Gu Yusheng in a careless manner, “This is a matter between me and her. Even if you wanted to get involved, don’t you have to figure out the cause of the problem and figure out who was right and who was wrong?”

The moment Lin Yi finished her words, Gu Yusheng seemed like he had heard a funny joke. He laughed softly, repeating her words. “Who was right? Who was wrong?”

Then his expression became colder and colder, and even the words in his mouth sounded murderous. “Does that matter?”

When someone is bullying her, does it matter whose fault it was?
