Join the ServerA major incident occurred in Grade One, Class Two.
Unable to tolerate Zhao Xixia’s verbal attacks, Yuxiu, in a fit of rage, slapped her right across the face.
The damage was low, but the insult was extreme.
Zhao Xixia had never been treated this way before and immediately returned the favor.
After slapping each other, the two stood face-to-face, glaring.
They were surrounded by a circle of classmates who were there for the show.
“Yuxiu, Yuxiu, are you okay?”
Lin You finally managed to push through the crowd of onlookers and rushed to the girl’s side, asking with urgent concern.
“I’m fine. She was the one with the dirty mouth, that’s why I hit her.”
After hitting someone, Yuxiu had calmed down. At her young age, she knew she had acted impulsively and that it could lead to bad consequences.
But the girl had no regrets. Zhao Xixia had not only insulted her but had also repeatedly called Lin You names.
“Singing in harmony, you two are quite a match.”
Zhao Xixia raised her small hand to touch her still slightly aching cheek, watching the mutual concern between Yuxiu and Lin You with a playful expression.
“Classmate… Zhao, I apologize to you on Yuxiu’s behalf. Please don’t tell the teacher…”
Lin You remembered the school rules the head teacher had mentioned; fighting was a very serious matter.
In order not to get Yuxiu punished, he took the initiative to humbly apologize to Zhao Xixia.
“Youyou, don’t…”
Yuxiu saw this and anxiously tried to stop Lin You’s actions.
“Hehe, Zhong Yuxiu, he’s much more sensible than you are.”
Zhao Xixia let out a mischievous laugh, a new plan quickly forming in her bright eyes.
Since your relationship is so good, I’ll just have to tear you apart.
“Zhao Xixia, I’m warning you. If you try to bully Youyou, I will never let you off.”
Zhong Yuxiu’s anger flared up again. In her heart, the boy had become something akin to her reverse scale.
“Yuxiu, calm down, calm down…”
Lin You was caught in the middle. He was worried Yuxiu would strike again and quickly grabbed her arm.
The situation was getting messier and messier.
“Let’s go, let’s go see the teacher. You’re not getting away with hitting me that easily.”
Zhao Xixia made her stance clear: she was going to see this through to the end.
The boy’s plea had become meaningless.
“Fine, let’s go.”
Zhong Yuxiu didn’t back down, especially not in front of Lin You.
“Hey, Classmate Zhao, please forgive Yuxiu this once. If you’re still angry, then you can slap me…”
Hearing that Zhao Xixia was going to the teacher, Lin You became even more anxious than Yuxiu. He even proactively offered his own face to be hit in exchange for her forgiveness.
“Get away from me.”
Zhao Xixia took a few steps back, showing a visible disgust for the boy who was approaching her.
In her eyes, all the students in the class were not on her level, like a white swan among a flock of ugly ducklings.
Yuxiu was barely acceptable to her.
As for Lin You, in her opinion, he was the ugliest of the ugly ducklings. Just getting close to him would dirty her.
“Youyou, you don’t need to worry about my business. And stop being so obedient. Go back to your seat.”
Yuxiu forcefully pulled the boy behind her, not wanting him to have any contact with the detestable Zhao Xixia.
“Let’s go. I don’t believe the teacher will always favor someone like you.”
Zhong Yuxiu had no intention of running away and stood her ground against Zhao Xixia.
And so, the two little girls walked out of the classroom, one after the other.
Lin You was filled with worry and couldn’t just stay in the classroom and wait. He was so afraid something bad would happen to Yuxiu.
The boy unconsciously followed behind the two girls, wanting to go along and see what would happen.
“Youyou, go back! This has nothing to do with you.”
Yuxiu grew anxious. She was also afraid of getting the boy involved.
“Didn’t you slap me for his sake? How is it none of his business?”
Zhao Xixia continued to stir up trouble, making a sarcastic comment.
“Yuxiu, let me come with you. If anything happens, I can share the burden. Aren’t we friends?”
Lin You bravely quickened his pace, walking shoulder to shoulder with Yuxiu.
‘The friendship of an ugly duckling and a little white swan? I’ll definitely tear them apart.’
Zhao Xixia witnessed this scene, and jealousy made her grit her teeth.
She couldn’t understand why Zhong Yuxiu, who was not lacking in any aspect, would play with such a terrible boy like Lin You.
What she found most unacceptable was that she had taken the initiative to get to know her, only to be left out in the cold.
This made the extremely lonely and arrogant Zhao Xixia feel humiliated.
“Youyou, you can come along, but you’re not allowed to say anything reckless.”
Yuxiu was at her wit’s end with the boy and could only give him a reminder.
She was afraid the boy would take all the blame on himself.
“Mhm, mhm!”
Being able to advance and retreat together with his good friend, Lin You’s anxious heart actually calmed down.
Two girls and one boy walked up to the second floor of the school building, heading straight for the head teacher’s office.
Grade Two, Class One.
A bored Yuting was once again zoning out by the classroom window.
Then, she saw her only boy-friend appear in the hallway.
“Hey, Ah You!”
Yuting was overjoyed and waved happily.
‘Ah, it’s Yuting.’
Lin You heard the call and looked over, and sure enough, he saw the familiar girl.
The boy’s first reaction was to shake his head at her, reminding her to keep their promise.
“Hey.”
The previously ecstatic Yuting’s face immediately fell.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn’t have agreed to the “pretend not to know each other during the day” promise.
“Youyou, who was that who just called you?”
Yuxiu was very concerned about the boy’s affairs and had noticed his brief interaction with Yuting.
“It was nothing.”
Lin You himself was also abiding by the “pretend not to know” promise.
“Oh, I see.”
Yuxiu had a feeling there was more to it than that, but they were almost at the head teacher’s office, so she didn’t have time to pursue the matter.
The teacher’s office.
This was Lin You’s second time here. He had just been here yesterday because of Zhang Chunli.
“Head Teacher, Zhong Yuxiu slapped me.”
Zhao Xixia struck first, showing the head teacher her still slightly swollen cheek.
“Zhao Xixia hit me too! And it was because her mouth was dirty that I couldn’t help but slap her…”
Zhong Yuxiu quickly spoke up, explaining the whole story and showing the red mark on her own pretty face.
“…”
As for Lin You, he had promised Yuxiu not to speak recklessly, so he acted like a transparent wallflower, worrying in silence.
He had made up his mind: if Zhong Yuxiu was punished, he would definitely stand up and share the burden with her.
“Tsk, fighting on the second day of school. Zhong Yuxiu, do you have any regard for school discipline?”
The head teacher glared at Yuxiu, unleashing a torrent of abuse.
As for Zhao Xixia, she was completely unaffected, as if she had done nothing wrong.
“Teacher, she also…”
“Shut up! You hit her first. Are you going to blame Zhao Xixia for retaliating?”
“Didn’t the teacher say, it takes two to tango…”
“Be quiet!”
Yuxiu still wanted to argue, but the teacher gave her no chance to talk back.
