The Unseen Wound

Actually, Principal Wang's dislike of Lin Haoran had nothing to do with Lin Haoran's appearance. In fact, Lin Haoran was extremely handsome — tall at one meter seventy-eight, with thick eyebrows, handsome eyes, and a high, straight nose. He was said to be the most popular man in the entire school.

And that was precisely why Principal Wang was angry. What gave Lin Haoran the right to be the most popular man on campus? That honor should belong to him, the principal.

"Principal, here's what happened. I was in a car accident on my way back this afternoon," Lin Haoran said carefully with a forced smile. Of all the people at school, he detested this principal the most — a man who only cared about having fun and did nothing to manage the school. But now that the principal had something on him, he had to tread carefully.

"A car accident? Lin Haoran, you're not a student. How could you come up with such a lame excuse?"

"It's true, Principal. I was hit by a car," Lin Haoran explained hurriedly when he saw the principal didn't believe him.

"Is that so? Where were you hit? Are you injured?" Principal Wang gave Lin Haoran a once-over. The Lin Haoran standing before him was full of vitality — he didn't look like someone who had been hit by a car at all.

"I... I wasn't injured." Lin Haoran shook his head.

"No injuries and you call that being hit by a car?"

"But I was bleeding. My clothes had a lot of blood on them."

"Really? Lin Haoran, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Hit by a car, heavy bleeding, but no injuries. Do you think you know magic? That you're invincible like an immortal?" Principal Wang pointed at Lin Haoran's nose, fuming. Did Lin Haoran think he was a fool? How could he not be angry?

"I... I..." At this point, Lin Haoran didn't know how to explain either. That was right — his clothes were covered in blood, but why was he completely unharmed?

Everything that had happened today was bizarre. First, he had been bitten by that tiny bug that looked like a small golden snake, and he had passed out for over two hours. Then when he woke up, the bug was dead. And when he was trying to flag down a ride back to school, he was hit by a truck — but he was completely fine, except for the blood on his clothes.

Whose blood was this? If it was his own, then why didn't he feel any discomfort anywhere on his body? He had looked in the mirror in his room and hadn't found a single wound.

If the blood wasn't his, then whose was it? Lin Haoran was baffled.

"Lin Haoran, have you run out of excuses?" Principal Wang was pleased with himself for cleverly exposing Lin Haoran's so-called lie.

"Principal Wang, listen to me — ouch!" Lin Haoran grabbed his thigh. He suddenly felt a hot, stinging pain where the bug had bitten him that afternoon.

"What's wrong?" Principal Wang was startled by Lin Haoran's cry. And what was Lin Haoran doing, grabbing his thigh and twisting his hips like that? He was a grown man!

"Nothing, nothing." Lin Haoran quickly shook his head. How could he tell Principal Wang that his wound hurt? Besides, the sharp pain had just been a momentary thing, and now it didn't seem to hurt as much.

"Lin Haoran, stop playing games. Since you didn't come to the meeting today, your perfect attendance bonus for this month is cancelled." Principal Wang walked away in anger.

"Fine, keep it. It's no big deal," Lin Haoran said, thumping his chest as he glared at Principal Wang's retreating back.

Sigh, there went another two hundred yuan in perfect attendance bonus. Lin Haoran hung his head and sighed in disappointment.
