Lu Yuansi furrowed his eyebrows when he saw that none of the girls in the class seem to have good relations with Pei Yunge.

He was just about to give Pei Yunge the book when he heard her say unconcernedly, “Teacher, I will just listen to you.”

With that, once she finished speaking, a chubby boy by the side spoke carefully.

“S-Student Pei, do you want to share the book with me?”

Pei Yunge’s eyes shone a little as they slowly landed on him.

Seconds passed before Pei Yunge sat down beside him. “What’s your name?”

“I’m Chu Zhixing.”

The chubby boy looked rather shy. His face was chubby, though his eyes weren’t small and he had a tall nose bridge as well. In his clean and tidy school uniform, he looked fair and tender, one couldn’t have a bad impression of him at all.

“It sounds quite nice.” Pei Yunge smirked as she replied, before she introduced herself, “I’m Pei Yunge.”

Chu Zhixing froze for a second as something in his heart somehow felt touched. His eyes watered a little.

It was obvious that Pei Yunge knew that he knew her name, but this was just a self-introduction out of respect. He had barely ever encountered such equal and respectful treatment in the past few years.

This person that looked arrogant and unruly in front of him had actually become the first person to view him equally.

Chu Zhixing hid the darkness in his eyes.

At the same time, Ling Jiwei, who was prepared to watch Pei Yunge embarrass herself, was wearing a terrible expression as she glared ruthlessly at Chu Zhixing, as a cold smile appeared on her lips.

This damned fatty actually dared to interfere in her matters.

Last night, she had already messaged the class privately and warned everyone to not be nice to Pei Yunge. She never thought that there will still be someone who dared to poke their finger into this without fear of death!

…

After class.

Someone came to tell her that her school bag had been sent to the security room and for her to go collect it.

However, what was unexpected was that Pei Yunge had just returned from retrieving her school bag when she bumped into Lu Yuansi.

“Don’t get too close to Chu Zhixing. He’s problematic.”

As he said this, Lu Yuansi’s eyebrows were furrowed. In the past, he had seen Chu Zhixing sneakily inject medicine into himself in the bathroom.

Although it didn’t seem like those illegal drugs, it was really like what the rumors said – Chu Zhixing was a monster.

“Really?”

Pei Yunge raised an eyebrow slightly. Her eyes were cast into a bright smile, yet no one knew what she was thinking. Seeing this, Lu Yuansi wanted to continue speaking, though he stopped himself.

Was he crazy?

Why was he telling Pei Yunge what to do?

This woman wouldn’t listen to him.

“Whatever.” Lu Yuansi’s face was void of any emotion before he left.

…

At noon.

As Pei Yunge was done getting some water in the long corridor, she was about to return to the classroom. However, she suddenly heard a painful whimper from the corner.

“You damn fatty, you even dare to put your finger into my business, huh?”

It was Ling Jiwei’s voice, sounding both sharp and mean. “I didn’t see you act so courageously before, and now you’ve learned how to act as a hero to save a beauty? Is that what this is?”

It wasn’t hard to deduce who was getting beaten up. At that point, Pei Yunge halted her steps and turned into the corner speedily.

It was a dead-end which wasn’t captured by the CCTV.

The chubby boy was covered in dirty water from head to toe. Apart from Ling Jiwei and another girl, there were even several boys kicking at Chu Zhixing with all their strength. They looked tall and lanky and as they crowded around the chubby boy, they looked every part like legitimate gangsters.

“L-Let me off…”

The chubby boy’s face was exceptionally pale, as if he was experiencing a kind of pain. His eyebrows were furrowed as cold sweat drenched his forehead.

“Oh? Let you off? Sure! Son, how about you kneel down and admit your mistake to Father, and I’ll let you off?”

A boy, who was as thin as a monkey, snickered as he intentionally humiliated the other. As he did so, he didn’t forget to kick Chu Zhixing once more.

Chu Zhixing was in so much pain his whole body was trembling.

“God, look at this fat pig. He’s shivering so much all of his fat meat is moving. Gross!” the girl by the side sniggered as she twisted her mouth into a look of disgust.
