78. Secure

The resounding sound of slap echoed in the ears of everyone present.

This time the word 'thunderstruck' was an understatement to describe what everyone who saw the scene felt.

Their minds blanked in the second right after the sound reverberated in the hall. No one had the guts to even think about a word forget about breathing out loud.

The face of some people had turned reddish due to holding their breath. It was only a matter of time before they turned purple or fainted right there.

After a moment of pin drop silence, everyone had only one thought running in their mind but of different emotions.

''My genius. I just found you and you immediately dug your grave like this. How am I supposed to find another one like you sob sob.''

''Yes! This vexin is dead. Heh, I didn't even need to make a move to remove her. She just dug her own grave.''

''My goddess... How could you go and dig your own grave? I still didn't get to tell you how I feel about you.''

''Goddess, idol, please rest in peace. I will always remember you and will come and meet everytime I can.''

''Oh God... Am I going to die today. I have witnessed Qi Longwei being slapped. Will the Qi family kill everyone so that this dark history of Qi Longwei is buried underground forever. Oh God... will I not be able to see the sun tomorrow?''

The only thing common in their thoughts was that they were certain she was going to die.

How could they not be. Even the members of the Qi family never scolded him forget about raising their hand on him.

The one time someone tried to make trouble with him, Qi Longwei had made sure that that person not only left the school but also the country.

This time Li Zhilan had not 'tried' to make trouble, she had made it. She had dug a grave big enough to fit everyone present in the hall.

While everyone was dreading what would come next, Qi Longwei touched his face slowly in disbelieve.

It's starting! Shiver shiver

''You... you slapped me.'' Qi Longwei's voice was suttering in disbelieve.

''So...?''

Hearing Li Zhilan accepting it like it wasn't worth anything, the others understood the phrase the dying doesn't fear death well at the moment.

''You didn't punch me. You slapped me.''

Was this the point to be focused on? Qi Longwei's words left everyone dumbfounded including Li Zhilan.

''You don't slap just any Tom, Dick or Harry but you slapped me. Does that mean I'm someone special to you. Does that mean that I am as important to you as you are to me? Does that...''

''Is this the thing you should be focused on?'' Li Zhilan asked what was on everyone's mind but was replied with a crushing hug.

''Ofcourse it is. You slapped me meaning I am very important to you. All these years, I thought I wasn't as important to you because you never slapped me. But now you did. Now I feel secured that I'm as important to you as you are to me.''
