CH 5

Warning: this chapter has descriptions of bullying. Reader discretion is advised.

When the two rushed to the third floor of the school building, people were already surrounding the women’s bathroom door.

With sharp eyes, Yu Man pulled Tang Xia to squeeze beside Pei Xiao and the others.

“What’s going on?” Tang Xia was not tall, only 1.6 meters, so she couldn’t see clearly what was going on inside.

“Let’s go back and talk about it,” Pei Xiao said in a low voice, “I think…it’s a little scary.”

Tang Xia was slightly startled, and then noticed that Pei Xiao, who was always bluffing, had an extremely serious expression on her face. There’s even a bit of…um…fright.

Looking at Gu Qing and Tao Jiaqi beside her, they also had horrified faces.

Tang Xia couldn’t help but clenched Yu Man’s hand, pursed her lips and squeezed in.

Before seeing the scene clearly, a voice entered Tang Xia’s ears first.

“Tell me, how did you confess your love to Han Yu yesterday?”

It was an extremely charming female voice, and the speaker’s tone was lazy, but a strong sneer could still be heard mixed in it.

“Han Yu, I like you so much? Han Yu, I love you so much? Han Yu, I want to be your girlfriend?”

Another girl said in a deliberately soft mocking tone, causing a burst of ironic laughter.

Tang Xia followed the voices and took a sharp breath.

There were four girls in the women’s bathroom, three of them were tall and delicate-looking, and they were still wearing thin autumn school uniforms in the winter.

The first one wears earrings, fair skin and beautiful features, long flowing hair.

Tang Xia knew her, she was the eldest sister in the third year of high school, her name was Zhao Huan.

This Zhao Huan is quite well-known as being equal parts friendly and formidable in No. 1 High School. All grades, male or female, have to give her respect.

Standing beside Zhao Huan were two girls, with strands of hair highlighted and dyed, lipstick on, brightly colored nails, and chewing gum, staring in boredom.

No. 1 High School is a key high school, and students are explicitly prohibited from dyeing or perming their hair, using cosmetics, etc.

But some rebellious teenage girls like to deliberately go against the school, do things that are unique, and be individuals. As if becoming an “alternative” and attracting attention will make them feel especially proud.

“Where did you get the confidence to go and confess to Han Yu?” Zhao Huan crossed her arms, leaning against the sink, her eyes were a little cold.

On the other side of her, Qu Sisi shrinks back, not daring to speak.

Tang Xia suddenly felt a little depressed.

She had seen that freshman girl several times. She remembered her with a playful ponytail, white and tender face, and she was very cute.

But now, her hair is messy, her face and body are still wet, and who knows what kind of bullying she suffered before.

“Hey, are you still crying?” Zhao Huan was most annoyed that people didn’t answer her words, and when she saw Qu Sisi’s eyes were red, she got angry.

She took two steps forward, and the frightened girl subconsciously stepped back.

Zhao Huan laughed and slapped Qu Sisi with her hand.

“Slap!” The sound was crisp, and Tang Xia couldn’t help but close her eyes.

Qu Sisi didn’t hide, she gritted her teeth and accepted the slap. Tears flowed down her already red and swollen cheeks, but she didn’t dare to make a sound of crying.

Tang Xia’s heart was beating wildly, and it seemed like something was about to burst out of her chest.

She watched with her own eyes, a girl grabbed Qu Sisi by the hair, dragged her to the mirror at the sink, then patted her face like a pet, and said, “How beautiful, if Han Yu saw you now he’d be amazed, right?”

Zhao Huan sneered, picked up the drink that was put aside, unscrewed the cap and lifted it to the top of Qu Sisi’s head, and poured it expressionlessly.

The crowd of onlookers let out a low cry that was extremely suppressed.

Qu Sisi closed her eyes, her tears mixed with orange juice and kept flowing down.

“I washed it for you, otherwise Han Yu will be disgusted if he sees it.” Zhao Huan said coolly.

The other two girls smiled openly.

“Come on, fix your bangs so they don’t get messed up.” The girl chewing gum took out a tissue from her bag, spit out the gum, sticking it on Qu Sisi’s hair.

Zhao Huan also took out a clean tissue, carefully wiped her fingertips that were accidentally stained with orange juice, like wiping the most exquisite porcelain, cherishing it.

Tang Xia gasped violently. This was the first time she had witnessed school violence, not brutal or bloody, but enough to shock Tang Xia’s psyche. She could no longer sit idly by.

“I’ll tell the teacher.” Tang Xia frowned tightly, and whispered to Yu Man.

Yu Man hurriedly covered her mouth, and lowered her voice, “You’re crazy! Don’t worry about it!”

Over there, Zhao Huan laughed dryly twice, and said in a high voice, “Who the fuck is meddling, tell the teacher, huh?”

Tang Xia’s heart trembled, but she didn’t have the courage to look up.

Gu Qing’s face turned dark, and she moved in front of Tang Xia silently. At 1.7 meters tall, she barely blocked the pale-faced Tang Xia.

Zhao Huan squinted, her gaze slowly passing by a group of people outside the door.

“Have the guts to say it, but don’t have the guts to do it?”

Tang Xia’s pupils shrank fiercely, but Yu Man and Tao Jiaqi held her arms at the same time, and the glances they passed were full of worry and pleading.

Please, Tang Xia, don’t stand out.

Tang Xia couldn’t raise or swallow the breath that was clogging her throat.

Seeing that no one said anything, Zhao Huan pushed Qu Sisi with her backhand.

“Qu Sisi?” She frowned, and moved her delicate face in front of the terrified girl, taking a panoramic view of the latter’s frightened appearance, “Why don’t you tell me to go die?”

Qu Sisi tucked her hands in her sleeves, tightly clenched into a fist.

“I’ll remember your name,” Zhao Huan straightened up, and went out first, “I will often chat with you in the future.”

The students who were watching backed up instantly, automatically leaving a way for Zhao Huan and the two girls.

Qu Sisi’s legs gave way, and she leaned on the sink with her arms, trying to stand still.

Zhao Huan stroked her long hair, and when she raised her head, her eyes shone slightly.

“Hi.” She smiled, and the ruthlessness that she had for Qu Sisi a minute ago disappeared.

Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction Zhao Huan greeted.

At some point, Han Yu stood at the end of the crowd.

With one hand in his trouser pocket, and the zipper of his school uniform unzipped, he leaned casually and handsomely on his companion.

“What a coincidence.” Han Yu gave Zhao Huan some face and responded lightly.

After speaking, he stepped forward, trying to pass through the crowd.

Tang Xia turned her head to look at Qu Sisi in the women’s toilet, and then at Han Yu who was about to pass by the door.

This incident happened because of him, if Han Yu could say a word for Qu Sisi, Zhao Huan would not make things difficult for her anymore.

Tang Xia stopped, raised her head, and looked at Han Yu anxiously and expectantly.

The boy was getting closer and closer and Qu Sisi also heard Han Yu’s voice, she seemed to have found a life-saving hope at once, her steps were heavy, but she hurriedly moved to the door of the bathroom.

She was in a sorry state and really pitiful to look at.

Closer.

Closer!

Tang Xia felt nervous for no reason.

He…should solve this matter, right?

Tang Xia grabbed Yu Man’s hand.

The next moment….Han Yu walked past Tang Xia.

Not pausing for a moment.
