Qin Hao carefully reviewed the questions he had answered incorrectly to see exactly where he had gone wrong.
He did this to identify his shortcomings and then improve upon them.
Among those incorrect answers, some resulted from carelessness, while others were due to inadequate proficiency in adapting certain knowledge points.
The saying "I examine myself three times every day" felt very apt to Qin Hao at this moment.
By the afternoon after school, Qin Hao had almost finished reviewing his mistakes and had also focused on revising those knowledge points.
Today was Friday, and he had picked up three sets of unified exam mock papers, planning to do them over the weekend at home.
Du Wanrou packed up quickly and said to Qin Hao, "Qin Hao, I'm leaving first, bye, see you Monday."
Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "Yeah, be careful on your way."
After a while, Qin Hao finished packing up his things and walked out of the classroom with his backpack.
Just as he left the classroom, he was stopped by someone. When he saw who it was, his face froze, "What are you doing here?"
Xia Qing asked back, "Why can't I be here?"
Qin Hao found himself somewhat at a loss for words, "Um... Xia Qing, are you looking for me?"
Xia Qing nodded, "The incident yesterday was because of me, I can't just ignore it. If you got beaten up because of this, I would feel terrible."
Qin Hao smiled and replied, "It's okay, who beats whom is still uncertain."
Xia Qing's expression faltered, she could tell that Qin Hao's confidence was not like others merely boasting.
She was curious about what Qin Hao had up his sleeve, why was he not afraid at all?
Xia Qing, "No, I must go with you."
Qin Hao didn't mind, and he couldn't stop Xia Qing either, "It's up to you, if you want to follow then follow."
Xia Qing was taken aback, what do you mean 'it's up to me'? What kind of attitude is that?
I'm recognized as the school beauty at Secondary School No. 2, so many boys would love to be seen with me, yet you seem so indifferent?
She was a bit indignant.
Qin Hao walked down from the school building, with Xia Qing following beside him.
On the way, many people recognized Xia Qing, and their expressions were surprised to see her walking with Qin Hao.
Because, in their impression, Xia Qing was always solitary, never walking with any boy.
A freshman whispered, "Who is that guy? He's actually walking with my goddess."
Another freshman replied, "You don't even know him?"
"That impressive? No wonder he's walking with the goddess Xia." Upon hearing Xu Liang's name, that person showed fear.
Now, hearing that Qin Hao was even more formidable than Xu Liang, his tone immediately changed.
...
Qin Hao soon arrived at the school gate, and on the way, he really didn't know how to chat with Xia Qing, so he remained silent.
Because he used to be very introverted, he barely had any experience talking with women.
Only Qin Hao and Liu Jun remained in the grove.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable today, Liu Jun decided to leave, "Consider yourself lucky today, we'll see next time."
If there really was a fight, there was no doubt that he would be at a disadvantage.
Just as Liu Jun was about to leave, Qin Hao spoke up, "Hold it, do you think this is a place you can come and go as you please?"
Upon hearing his words, Liu Jun's face turned sour, "Qin Hao, don't think just because you know a bit of martial arts that you're invincible. In Mr. Fa's and Qiang's eyes, you're nothing."
Qin Hao dashed up in one move and landed two slaps on his face, "I don't care who you know, today I, Qin Hao, am determined to teach you an unforgettable lesson."
Liu Jun, having been slapped, couldn't hold back and threw a punch at Qin Hao.
His strength and speed seemed feeble and posed no threat in Qin Hao's eyes.
Qin Hao easily caught his fist and then kicked out, knocking him down to the ground.
Before Liu Jun could get up, Qin Hao stepped on his chest, the immense force changing Liu Jun's complexion drastically.
He struggled to rise, but he simply couldn't compare to Qin Hao's strength.
Liu Jun was now like a fish on a chopping board, thrashing helplessly but unable to escape.
His face turned beet red, filled with humiliation. Now, he harbored thoughts of killing Qin Hao, his hatred reaching its peak.
From a distance, Xia Qing, seeing this, felt no pity for Liu Jun. Considering his past actions, she found them infuriating and thought this punishment was deserved.
Moreover, Xia Qing felt the punishment was somewhat light.
Qin Hao looked down at Liu Jun on the ground and said coldly, "Are you convinced or not?"
"What are you worth? If you have the nerve, just kill me," Liu Jun said, his eyes full of humiliation and anger.
Qin Hao: "How would you feel if I were to strip off your clothes, tie you to a tree, and let mosquitoes bite you all night?"
Liu Jun's expression changed instantly, he would rather have Qin Hao beat him than endure that.
Qin Hao looked at Xu Liang, Lv GuiBo, and Zheng Yi. They quickly caught on and came over.
Qin Hao: "Strip him and tie him to a tree."
Xu Liang and the others were relentless. As two of them held him, they were about to proceed.
Seeing this, Liu Jun panicked and quickly said, "I give up, I give up."
Xu Liang and the others stopped and turned to look at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao stared at Liu Jun, who was visibly frightened and uneasy, "Qin Hao, I give in, I truly give in."
"Fine, as long as you're convinced. Remember, if you dare to come here again, next time I'll tie you to a tree, and begging won't help, got it?"
Liu Jun nodded hurriedly, agreeing with whatever was said just to be able to leave this place.
Liu Jun, having been beaten, left the place with his dignity in tatters.
Qin Hao said to Xu Liang and the others, "Thanks for today."
"No worries, Hao, it was the right thing to do. We'll be heading off now," Xu Liang and the others bid farewell to Qin Hao one by one.
After everyone had left, Xia Qing came over, her fair and delicate face wearing a slight smile, "Thank you for today."
