The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 90

Qiu Yuelin had no idea that letting Qi Lin ride the bike was the real disaster.

Sitting in the back seat, she mimicked Qi Lin by lightly pinching the hem of his shirt to keep some distance.

Having a guy ride the bike made all the difference—Qi Lin pedaled at an incredible speed.

The cool morning breeze brushed against Qiu Yuelin’s flushed cheeks, making her feel incredibly comfortable.

But the next second—

"Ah!"

She suddenly felt a strong jolt, and before she could react, she was thrown forward, crashing against Qi Lin’s back. Her chest pressed tightly against him in an intimate embrace.

Letting out a startled gasp, Qiu Yuelin’s face instantly turned crimson.

She wasn’t stupid—she knew Qi Lin had done that on purpose to take advantage of her."Qi Lin! Did you just slam the brakes on purpose?"

Qiu Yuelin got off the bike, her beautiful eyes glaring at him in anger.

"It wasn’t my fault! Look, a dog crossed the road!"

Qi Lin pointed innocently at a tan-colored stray dog.

Qiu Yuelin: "..."

She couldn’t tell if he was lying or not.

"Get off. You’re sitting in the back."

But there was no way she was letting Qi Lin ride the bike again.

Her heart was filled with embarrassment. The impact had been so strong—she had suffered a huge loss. Even her future boyfriend had never been this close to her.

And so, poor Qiu Yuelin had to pedal again, carrying the heavyweight Qi Lin all the way to school.

At the school gate, Hu Bing, who never seemed to go away, was standing there like a ghost.

Seeing Qiu Yuelin giving Qi Lin a ride, and Qi Lin looking completely at ease, Hu Bing’s face turned pale with rage.

"Qiu Yuelin, why are you bringing this guy to school again?"

"Qi Lin became Jiangbei City’s little hero yesterday. Giving him a ride is my way of rewarding him. Besides, he’s changing for the better. I can’t let him go astray again, right?"

Qiu Yuelin spoke earnestly, completely convinced of her own reasoning.

What did it feel like to have a saintly crush?

Hu Bing clutched his chest, feeling suffocated.

Especially when Qi Lin shot him a smug look, raising his eyebrows in provocation.

He was clearly approaching Qiu Yuelin with ulterior motives, yet she was acting like a naive little flower, letting herself be taken advantage of.

Hu Bing was so furious he nearly passed out.

But he knew arguing with a woman was pointless.

"Since you’re at school now, make him get off and walk on his own," Hu Bing said, pointing at Qi Lin.

Before Qiu Yuelin could say anything, Qi Lin actually got off the bike himself.

However, he smiled and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

"Senior Qiu, you worked hard bringing me to school this morning. Here, have some water."

"You’re being too polite."

Qiu Yuelin’s delicate face showed a hint of embarrassment.

But Qi Lin was insistent, so she reached out to take the bottle.

Just as she was about to grab it, Hu Bing snatched it from Qi Lin’s hand and gulped it down.

After finishing it, he smirked at Qi Lin.

Trying to gain favor with small gestures?

When he was wooing girls, Qi Lin was still running around in diapers.

Earn her affection?

I’ll block you.

As expected, seeing Qi Lin’s face twist into an annoyed frown, Hu Bing grinned triumphantly.

After Qi Lin left, Qiu Yuelin pouted and glared at Hu Bing.

"That was meant for me! Why did you drink it? What if Qi Lin gets upset and goes back to his old ways?"

Hearing this, Hu Bing felt completely helpless.

That brat? Going back to his old ways?

He was already rotten to the core!

"It was just a bottle of water. I’ll buy him another one later."

When Qi Lin returned to class, he found the principal waiting for him at the door with a big smile.

"Qi Lin, you’re really something. The day before yesterday, you saved a drowning child. Yesterday afternoon, you helped the police catch the murderer of a massacre case. You sure don’t make a move unless it’s earth-shattering!"

The principal patted Qi Lin’s shoulder in approval, feeling more convinced than ever that admitting Qi Lin into the school had been a great decision.

Last night, the city’s police department had called to commend Qi Lin’s role in solving the case.

Following that, the education bureau also reached out.

They first praised Qi Lin, then went on to emphasize how Huashi First Affiliated School not only prioritized academics but also nurtured students with outstanding character.

The education bureau decided to award Huashi First Affiliated School with a banner recognizing its excellence in holistic education.

Moreover, they mentioned that the school’s national ranking could rise even further this year.

Right now, Huashi First Affiliated School was ranked just below the Foreign Language High School. If it climbed one more spot, it would become the best high school in the country.

This had been the principal’s lifelong dream—and thanks to Qi Lin, it was now within reach.

"I can’t take all the credit. Wang Cheng helped too. If he hadn’t kept the murderer occupied until the police arrived, the guy might have escaped."

Qi Lin chuckled and glanced over at Wang Cheng’s seat.

Both sides of Wang Cheng’s face were marked with fresh red handprints.

It looked like his father had given him a good beating when he got home last night.

Qi Lin figured Wang Cheng had probably wanted to skip school today.

After all, thanks to the news coverage, the entire city knew about his humiliating experience at the hands of the murderer.

But it seemed Wang Dongcheng had forced him to come.

Since he had injuries on his back, Wang Cheng couldn’t even sit properly—he had to stand.

When the principal spoke with Qi Lin, his voice was loud, and the whole class, already in an awkward atmosphere, finally couldn’t hold back.

"Pfft—hahaha!"

Laughter erupted as everyone recalled Wang Cheng’s unfortunate fate.

Wang Cheng lowered his head, his eyes filled with hatred. At this point, he wanted nothing more than to kill Qi Lin.

But the title of "hero" now belonged to Qi Lin. Wang Cheng had no credit, no recognition—he couldn’t even fight back.

"Alright, enough joking around. Today, the school is holding another commendation ceremony for you," the principal said.

"Officials from the city’s education bureau will be here, and the police department will also send representatives. Make sure you behave yourself when you speak—don’t say anything ridiculous like last time. Make the school proud."

After reminding Qi Lin, the principal left.

Since the ceremony was after morning reading class, Qi Lin returned to his seat.

Today was strange—Lan Yuxi arrived late, looking drowsy and yawning. She had probably lost sleep last night.

Seeing this, Qi Lin smirked.

He could already guess—he must have teased her too much yesterday, making her lose sleep.

"Qi Lin, I heard about how you helped the police solve the case."

"Not only is the school rewarding you, but I also want to give you a reward."

"I can’t offer anything as valuable as the school, but if there’s something I can do for you, just ask."

During morning reading class, their homeroom teacher, Mei Sanyuan, suddenly walked into the classroom with a rare smile.

Since Qi Lin was his student, Mei Sanyuan also benefited from his achievements.

Not only did he get a raise, but the education bureau even appointed him as a mentor teacher, giving him government-backed job security.

This was a huge step forward in his career.

How could he not be grateful to Qi Lin?

"For real?"

Qi Lin was briefly stunned.

Then, his gaze shifted to Lan Yuxi.

Wang Cheng had been staring at Qi Lin the whole time, and when he saw him looking at Lan Yuxi, his heart sank.

"Teacher, my grades are really bad. I want someone to tutor me one-on-one. Can I sit with a classmate who can help me improve?"

Qi Lin looked at Mei Sanyuan with an innocent expression, full of determination.

"That’s easy. Who do you want to tutor you?"

Mei Sanyuan grinned, thinking Qi Lin was really changing for the better.

"Class President Lan Yuxi."

Qi Lin smirked and said her name.

Mei Sanyuan: "..."

Lan Yuxi, mid-yawn, froze.

Her cheeks turned pink as she glanced at Qi Lin, who was winking at her.

"This bastard… Bullying me outside wasn’t enough—now he wants to sit with me too?"

"Should I agree?"

"But if I refuse, who knows what this bastard will do if he gets angry?"

"Besides..."

Lan Yuxi glanced at Wang Cheng and saw him desperately pleading with her, shaking his head repeatedly.

Cough, cough!

If Wang Cheng hadn’t been looking at her like that, she might have hesitated a little longer.

At this moment, Wang Cheng’s backside was wrapped in bandages, with his pants covering them.

Standing there, he looked utterly ridiculous—like an oversized, clumsy sheep with a comically large tail.

Sitting next to him was already embarrassing enough.

"I-I agree."

Biting her lower lip, and under Wang Cheng’s despairing gaze, Lan Yuxi unexpectedly agreed.

"In that case, Wang Cheng, switch seats with Qi Lin," Mei Sanyuan instructed.

"Teacher Mei! My seat placement is based on my academic ranking! Forcing me to the last row isn’t fair!"

Wang Cheng was devastated, unable to believe that even the homeroom teacher had abandoned him.

"You’ll sit in the last row temporarily. After the next unified exam, I’ll adjust your seat again," Mei Sanyuan sighed.

He could clearly see the resentment in Wang Cheng’s eyes.

But the problem was, Wang Cheng had become the laughingstock of the entire school. Sitting in the front row made him too conspicuous. Sending him to the back was actually a way to protect him.

He could only hope that Wang Cheng would understand his good intentions.

Even though Wang Cheng was unwilling, with the help of a few classmates, he still had to "move."

Every few steps, he turned back, looking at his crush with immense reluctance.

"Qi Lin, you bastard! You’ve bewitched Yuxi, but you’ll get your retribution. Once she sees your true face, she’ll come back to me!"

As Wang Cheng brushed past Qi Lin, he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Oh? My dear brother, you're done playing the long game?"

Qi Lin sneered mockingly.

"You knew all along that I was waiting for the right moment?"

Wang Cheng looked stunned.

But the next second, his rage surged. "So you’ve been targeting me on purpose this whole time?"

"With your intelligence, you think you can get a girlfriend? Just find a sow and make do for the rest of your life."

Qi Lin smirked and ignored Wang Cheng, heading straight for his "prize."

Wang Cheng’s protagonist halo had already been weakened by half, but Qi Lin had no intention of eliminating him just yet.

A protagonist’s fate was a valuable thing. By using Lan Yuxi’s diary to keep intercepting Wang Cheng’s opportunities, he could squeeze out every last bit of his luck.

When there was nothing left, that would be the perfect time to send Wang Cheng to his demise.

After Mei Sanyuan left, morning reading resumed.

"You asked to switch seats because you actually want to study seriously?"

Lan Yuxi bit her lip, her beautiful eyes looking at Qi Lin.

"Of course. So, Class President, are you going to tutor me?"

Qi Lin grinned and grabbed her small hand resting on her skirt.

Lan Yuxi never expected him to be so bold—bullying her in front of so many classmates.

"If you want to study, then study properly! If you harass me again, I’ll tell the teacher!"

Lan Yuxi glared at him, her face blushing, and pulled her hand away.

"Alright then. My handwriting is terrible, so why don’t you guide my hand and teach me how to write? That way, I can practice calligraphy and memorize knowledge at the same time."

Qi Lin’s dark eyes carried a mischievous glint.

Lan Yuxi sighed, feeling helpless against him.

But deep down, a troubling thought surfaced.

Wang Cheng had lost completely, and Qi Lin clearly had no intention of letting her go.

He had already bullied her to this extent. Could she ever have another boyfriend?

But if Qi Lin's grades were so bad, what would happen when the college entrance exams came?

Would they be separated, forced into a long-distance relationship?

With Qi Lin’s personality, he would probably forget about her in an instant and start chasing after other girls.

Thinking about this, Lan Yuxi suddenly felt very nervous.

"Fine, I’ll teach you how to write, but you’re not allowed to touch me! If you do, I won’t help you anymore."

Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes at Qi Lin but still took his hand and began guiding him through the lesson.

Feeling her soft, delicate fingers, Qi Lin rapidly memorized the textbook content.

With his photographic memory, how could he let such an opportunity go to waste?

Everyone thought he was an uneducated troublemaker destined to drift through life.

When the time came, he’d stun them all by acing the college entrance exams and becoming the provincial top scorer.

"Qi Lin! You’ll regret this! You’ll definitely regret this! I swear, I’ll kill you one day!"

From the back row, Wang Cheng stood, watching every interaction between Qi Lin and Lan Yuxi with agonizing clarity.

Seeing them together made his face twist with jealousy.

But at this moment, what could Wang Cheng possibly do to threaten Qi Lin other than seethe in helpless rage?

After morning reading, all the students assembled on the field.

Qi Lin’s exclusive commendation ceremony was about to begin.

As the class bell rang, the students stood in formation.

The principal took the microphone, smiling warmly as he delivered a speech praising Qi Lin.

Then, officials from the education bureau spoke.

After that, representatives from the police department gave their remarks.

Once these important speeches were over, the principal picked up the microphone again and invited Qi Lin to the stage to share his thoughts.

Because there were so many officials present, Qi Lin decided to give the principal some face and behaved himself, delivering a proper speech.

The students below, expecting another hilarious and outrageous performance, were left disappointed.

"The timing should be just right now," Qi Lin thought, his gaze shifting to the principal, who was grinning and looking pleased.

As if on cue, just as the awards ceremony concluded, Qi Lin stood on the podium, holding his certificates and the school’s monetary reward.

Then, something shocking happened.

"Ugh... cough! Cough! Cough!"

The principal’s smile suddenly froze.

Sweat poured from his forehead as his face turned deathly pale.

His hands clutched his chest tightly, contorted in pain.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire school, the principal collapsed right on the stage.

"Ah!"

"The principal is in trouble!"

"What happened? Is he suffering from heatstroke?"

"Does anyone know first aid? Quick, do something!"

"Call an ambulance now!"

The entire field descended into chaos.

Students broke formation, running around like headless chickens.

School officials and education bureau leaders rushed over, but none of them knew how to perform emergency first aid.

"Step aside! Let me handle this!"

A commanding voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

When the crowd turned toward the voice, they saw Hu Bing, the school’s discipline director, standing tall.

Qiu Yuelin was right beside him, looking just as alarmed.

Seeing the principal collapse had made her incredibly nervous.

Hearing Hu Bing’s confident declaration, her delicate face lit up with hope.
