The warm water made Qu Xiao’s hair wet.
Qu Xiao used her hands to wipe off the water on her face and pressed her hands on the dining table as she stood up. The corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile.
She took advantage of Li Xuan’s moment of complacency and held the edge of the bowl, pouring the entire bowl of food on top of Li Xuan’s head.
The vegetable soup mixed with the sticky vegetable leaves slid down from Li Xuan’s shoulder. Her school uniform emitted waves of stench.
Li Xuan screamed and slapped the food off. Then, she opened her palms and ran toward Qu Xiao, wanting to strangle her neck.
Qu Xiao raised her arms to block Li Xuan’s attack. She bent her knees and kicked Li Xuan’s abdomen. With two punches, she knocked her to the ground.
Li Xuan’s eyes were full of shock and fear as she stared at Qu Xiao. She pushed her hands on the ground and stepped back repeatedly. “You… how can you!”
“Don’t underestimate others. I don’t want drama. It’s not that I’m afraid of you. I just don’t want to fight with you.”
Qu Xiao bent her knees and squatted beside Li Xuan. She used her palm to gently pat her cheek. Her eyes flickered with sympathy as she shook her head. “I’ve used all your little tricks before in the past. So childish!”
Li Xuan staggered as she stood up. She shouted at Qu Xiao’s back, “Don’t be arrogant. I’ll make you regret it.”
What could an ordinary high school student do? They could only complain to the teacher.
During self-study class, Miss Zhang called Qu Xiao to her office. She looked at the teachers working around her and waved at Qu Xiao to sit down.
“You have to learn how to handle the conflicts with your classmates.”
“It’s inevitable that you will find it hard to adapt to an unfamiliar environment. There are indeed some students in the class who have bad personalities and speak harshly. However, you have to learn how to use gentle methods to resolve conflicts. Do you understand? I don’t want to see you go down the wrong path.”
Miss Zhang stared at Qu Xiao with a worried expression. Qu Xiao obediently twisted her hands and quietly lowered her eyes to listen to Miss Zhang’s teachings.
But in the next second, Qu Xiao’s eyes reddened and bean-sized tears flowed out.
Miss Zhang hurriedly took out two pieces of tissue paper and stuffed them into Qu Xiao’s hands, reflecting on whether she had spoken too harshly. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
Qu Xiao sniffled twice, raised her innocent eyes, and said, “Li Xuan locked me in the bathroom and ganged up with those little delinquents to bully me.”
“Not only did she humiliate me in the classroom, she even asked me to buy cigarettes for them. I really had no choice… so I thought of a way to retaliate.”
Qu Xiao bit her red lips lightly. She understood that Li Xuan’s parents had invested and donated books to the school, so she did not want to put Miss Zhang in a difficult position.
“I will be more gentle in the future.”
Miss Zhang saw Qu Xiao’s cautious look and frowned with some heartache.
She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Finally, she sighed and said, “Don’t use violence next time.”
“Violence won’t solve anything. Moreover, the school is very strict regarding school violence. I don’t want you to get in trouble.”
After Miss Zhang finished speaking, Qu Xiao stood up and bowed to her gratefully.
When Qu Xiao returned from the office, she found that her classmates were surrounding her desk, pointing and saying something.
“Shh! She’s back!”
When the students noticed Qu Xiao, they immediately scattered.
Qu Xiao saw that her desk had fallen to the ground, and everything in her bag had been thrown to the ground. The covers of her textbooks had countless footprints, and vicious words were written on her desk and chair in red.
“Who did it?”
Qu Xiao looked around coldly, her eyes revealing a murderous malice.
She turned around to look at Li Xuan, who was sitting in the front row. Li Xuan proudly shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile, “This has nothing to do with me.”
“I have just been sitting here. Everyone can testify for me.”
Qu Xiao recalled Miss Zhang’s exhortation and silently bent down, wanting to pick up her scattered textbooks.
“Don’t move.”
A pair of slender fingers gripped Qu Xiao’s wrist. She turned her head and saw Zhou Ce’s beautiful and handsome side profile. She frowned in confusion.
Yao En hugged his shoulders and leaned against the door to watch the commotion.
Zhou Ce turned his head to look at him and said two sentences, “Go and find out! Find out who did this before class starts!”
Yao En placed his finger on his temple and gently lifted it. Whistling, he gathered a group of problematic youths and ran around to investigate.
The sunlight outside the window shone on Zhou Ce’s side profile through the glass. Qu Xiao was touched by his loyalty.
Five minutes later, Yao En grabbed the collars of the two boys and threw them in front of Zhou Ce.
“Boss, it’s them!”
Yao En clapped his hands and turned around to glare fiercely at Li Xuan.
All the students in the school year knew that these two boys liked Li Xuan.
Who was the mastermind behind all this? It was obvious!
