Chapter 6: Damn It.

Luo Tianyou!

“Is your butt itchy?”Are you in any trouble?

Lin Yi practically snapped his head up in an instant, nearly wanting to smash the phone in his hand onto the ground.

In this stuffy environment, Luo Tianyou’s face was undeniably flushed red, her chest heaving up and down, her panting breath exceptionally alluring.

“Yiyi, I hear a woman’s panting. Who is she?”

Zhuang Yayun’s voice, now turned icy, came from the earpiece.

“My colleague, a famous author from the editorial department, Luo Tianyou. You know her. She invited me to go running with her.”

Lin Yi hurriedly explained.

“Running? At this time? Shouldn’t it be time for lunch?”

Zhuang Yayun was perplexed.

“It’s because there’s a new store opening promotion here. You have to run or do other exercises before eating. Teacher Luo Tianyou and I are completing the running activity now. Once we’re done, we can eat all the food in the restaurant.”

“That’s right. You must be Teacher Lin Yi’s fiancée, right? Teacher Lin Yi’s constitution is quite strong. I’m already drenched in sweat, but he’s still pushing hard. His waist and hips are quite powerful.”

Luo Tianyou said softly, still panting.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her beautiful peach-blossom eyes were as gentle as water, extremely captivating.
As she spoke, she winked at Lin Yi, looking somewhat smug, somewhat arrogant.

“…Oh.”

Zhuang Yayun’s voice was devoid of emotion.

“Yayun, that’s just how it is. Was there something you called about?”

Lin Yi gritted his teeth.

“Oh, it’s nothing really. I just wanted to tell you that I might not be coming home tonight. The company has several meetings in a row, and they’re testing our work abilities. I might not be back until tomorrow afternoon or the day after.”

“Do you want me to come to the company to keep you company?”

“No need. If I pass the assessment, I might have to go on a business trip right after. Maybe for half a month.”

“Huh? So sudden?” Lin Yi was a little surprised.

‘Yayun is leaving just like that?’

“Mhm, because of the recent layoffs, a lot of things at the company have been delayed, especially my work, which was put on hold for a period of time. I need to go on a business trip to find the clients I’m supposed to connect with and make up for this lost work.”

There was a slight waver in Zhuang Yayun’s voice.

“Yayun, I’ll miss you a lot these few days.”

“I’ll miss you too. I’ll video call you if anything comes up. I have to hang up now, my assessment is about to start.”

Zhuang Yayun hurriedly hung up the phone.

“Yayun…”

Hearing the disconnected tone, Lin Yi exhaled, then glared unhappily at Luo Tianyou.

“Teacher Luo Tianyou, what do you think you’re doing? Don’t you know that what you just said could be easily misunderstood?”

“Oh, of course I know. In fact, that’s exactly what I meant. We were getting along so well before, but after your fiancée lectured you last night, I wasn’t allowed to be so close to you anymore. So of course I’d feel quite unhappy.”

Luo Tianyou waved her hand dismissively.
“Anyway, your fiancée is so petty. No matter what I do, she’ll find fault with it, so I might as well have some fun.”

“…”

‘Unbelievable!’

‘You just have to roast me over a fire, don’t you?!’

Lin Yi was suddenly rather annoyed.

Running into Shen Xixi again yesterday was bad enough, and now today, Luo Tianyou, you’re looking for trouble too?
Any man with a strong sense of pride would absolutely not tolerate this!

‘I saved you in the restroom, eased your period pain, and even taught you a method, and now this is how you treat me?!’

‘Damn it!’

Without hesitation, Lin Yi pressed the stop button on the treadmill, walked directly over to Luo Tianyou’s treadmill, and, under her astonished gaze, grabbed her wrist and pulled her off the machine.

He pressed her backwards against the treadmill’s handrail, raised his palm, and brought it down hard on Luo Tianyou’s pert bottom.

Smack!!

The crisp sound echoed in the room.

“Damn it!”

With that one slap, Lin Yi’s anger instantly dissipated by a fair amount.
But he wasn’t done.
The second slap followed immediately after.

Her soft, pert bottom was incredibly elastic.

After two slaps, Lin Yi’s anger had subsided considerably.

‘That felt good.’

‘Damn it.’

‘Why should I be the one to take all this crap?’

‘Why can’t I fight back?’

‘I’ve already transmigrated, and I’m still being treated as a subordinate? Didn’t I transmigrate for nothing?’

Lin Yi let out a heavy breath, only to realize that the surroundings had become so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

All eyes in the treadmill room were fixed on him.

A chill shot up his spine.

A pang of pain came from the wrist he was using to grab Luo Tianyou’s.

In this world, women’s basic physical attributes were fifty percent higher than men’s.

“Heh heh, Lin Yi, are you looking to die?”

Luo Tianyou broke free from Lin Yi’s grip, grabbed his wrist, and her soft, beautiful eyes now stared at Lin Yi with icy coldness.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her lips pressed tightly together.
It was unclear if it was from being hit or from anger.

Voices came from behind him.

“Hurry up and send him to the police station! Don’t let him ruin our mood here!”

“Exactly, exactly!”

“Damn it, let’s beat him up first. A man dares to hit a woman, what nerve?! A few decades ago, one of his hands would’ve been chopped off by now.”

The indignant voices of middle-aged women rose from behind.

“Ah, there’s no need for that. Maybe things aren’t what they seem…”

“That’s right, society is constantly advocating for giving men enough dignity now. There’s no need for you all to be so serious.”

A few scattered voices of young women were drowned out by the roars of the middle-aged women.

In this world, women were truly the superior beings, and men were truly livestock.

“No need. I’ll handle this matter.”

Luo Tianyou responded coldly to the women, then grabbed Lin Yi’s hand.
Under the murderous gazes of the several older, middle-aged women behind them, she walked out of the treadmill hall and to the restroom nearby.

She hesitated at the entrance for a few seconds before leading Lin Yi into the men’s restroom, pushing him into the corner stall, and closing the door.

“Heh, Teacher Lin Yi, I admit I was a little out of line for teasing you just now, but did you have to take it so far? To actually choose to hit my butt in public… if you wanted to hit it, you should have done it in private. Are you really not afraid that those women still living in the old society will grab you and throw you in jail?”

Luo Tianyou burst out laughing.
“If it really came to that, deep underground, in a place no detector could find, that would be your final destination.”

“Teacher Luo Tianyou, since you dared to do that, you should have been prepared to have your butt slapped.”

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

“Fine. I’m a woman of the new society, I don’t care about those so-called old societal traditions. In fact, I quite enjoyed you hitting me.”

Luo Tianyou’s lips curled wantonly as she reached out and proactively lifted Lin Yi’s chin.
“Lin Yi, you don’t want those old-society women outside, especially your fiancée, to find out about what just happened, do you?”
