CH 2.2

“So cool, ah…” Some girls lamented softly.

“The girls from their class must’ve been blessed. I envy them, ah.”

The girl speaking had a tall stature and a burly look. At once, a boy mischievously smiled. “You don’t need us to protect you. If we’re being beaten, we still need to depend on you.”

The girl jumped up from her seat and hit him with both hands. “You should go die. If this old lady had time to spare, it would be better to save a stray dog than save you!”

“Hahahaha…” The classroom burst into waves of laughter.

Finally, someone asked again, “Then what happened afterward?”

“Can’t you see what happened later?” Bai Jing sighed with sorrow. “I heard that all the girls there on that day cried, and then all the boys in their class had finally been won over. Fu Songhua even announced that he won’t obey anyone except their class monitor.”

“How come I haven’t heard about this kind of amazing achievement?”

Bai Jing shook his head. “After all, it was a fight that shed blood. Later on, they still need to choose the top three student representatives! After the discussion within their class, they decided to say nothing outside. No secrets can be kept forever.”

After he finished talking, he also filled it up with a sentence. “So, to say for teenagers, scoring high marks is indeed awesome, getting awards is indeed eye-catching, but being able to fight is the ultimate pride!”

He spoke enthusiastically, with saliva flying everywhere, when suddenly he felt something hit him from behind.

Once he turned around, he was frightened into jumping.

What the heck?

A white hand, which was close to being transparent, was holding a black steel crutch and unhurriedly poked at him from two rows behind.

“Ruan, Ruan Qingmu, what are you doing?”

A gloomy and reticent boy looked at him, and then he sneered in an unfriendly manner.

When the peach blossom eyes were upturned, they looked like cold crescent moons.

He tilted his head. “Hey, brag less.”

Bai Jing, “…”

Who is this, ah! Why did he have to make an appearance so suddenly??

The meager, pretty boy raised his hands, used his mouth to mime the motion of blowing a balloon, then let out a ‘bang’ sound from his mouth.

“This boasting is about to burst, scaring people to death.”

The classroom was silent.

A group of boys continued to look at him with suspicion. Fuck…was this Ruan Qingmu, who always hid in the corner, spoke very little, and seemed like an autistic child?

Bai Jing swallowed his saliva and forced out a laugh. “Haha, it’s not big talk. Boss Qin is really awesome.”

Ruan Qingmu’s voice wasn’t loud. Precisely because the classroom was silent, they could hear him sneer and mutter as if talking to himself. “Qin Yuan…it’s a good name. However, not everyone deserves to say this name.”

Nobody talked again. The students gaped, but they didn’t know what to say.

What kind of logic was this? Other people didn’t deserve to call Qin Yuan’s name, then who deserved it? Him?

Ruan Qingmu took out his phone, opened the group chat with boredom, and glanced at it a few times.

The group chat was called “Langya Pavilion,” and the group’s host was “Sophomore Student Bai Xiaosheng4.” Inside the group’s announcement was written: “Langya Pavilion in Experimental No.3 High School, giving away every classes’ news to the utmost.”

There would always be some unsightly names that popped out.

Qin Yuan this, Qin Yuan that, anyone could call this name. It was so annoying.

He casually rummaged through the previous chat records and thoughtlessly sent out a message.

“So amazing? With you guys boasting like this, does the person involved know it? Will he feel ashamed? Embarrassed?”

He also didn’t remain anonymous, directly using the username ID “Class 9 – Ruan Qingmu”.

Inside Honors Class 1 at the other end of the corridor, who knew who suddenly yelled out. “Quickly look at Langya Pavilion; that anonymous slut just now had revealed himself!”

The difficult-to-settle crowd had immediately exploded again. A mass of non-anonymous Class 1 students had begun to give their outputs frantically.

“Hehe, finally showing yourself. Just now, you haven’t been scolded enough and came again to provoke a fight?”

“Such a low person, no need to explain anything.”

“I’m afraid that your goddess likes Top Student Qin, so your heart is dripping blood now? Hehe, your goddess will hate you more when she sees your true face~~~”

Immediately after, a certain top student’s enthusiast who heard the news had come out in rage.

Class 1 Sports Representative – Fu Songhua: “You’ve finally come out? If you have the guts to speak nonsense, do you have the guts to come out? See you in the corridor in a minute.”

Ruan Qingmu looked at the phone on the other side, “…”

What the heck, did he stab into some kind of honey-coated hornet’s nest?

Fu Songhua looked tall and outstanding; his personality was also straightforward and passionate. He was always surrounded by a few good friends, so he turned his head and asked to his side, “Who’s this Ruan Qingmu? Who knows him?”

“Never heard before, ah.” The student beside him was also confused. “Who’s this person pretending to be dumb?”

Someone pointed with their lips and whispered in worry. “Should we tell the class monitor?”

Fu Songhua shot a glance at a certain someone, looking at that person’s cold side profile and upright posture. He stealthily raised a finger and motioned a zip-locking movement.
