Chapter Nine, Lu Zhicheng from Class Eleven

"What did you say?" Chai Jin asked me in surprise

"Fool..." Chen Xun scoffed

"Wang Xi, who asked you to stick your neck out? What are you doing, are you being shameless?" Zhang Xuan suddenly pulled me back and rolled her eyes at me with great force.

"Get lost, you worthless wretch!" Chen Xun shouted, pointing his finger at Zhang Xuan's nose.

"Want to leave?" Chai Jin laughed, standing in front of us with a sarcastic demeanor. Then, squinting at me, he said, "Kid, you better think it over. If you dare to run today, we will hit you every time we see you. However, if you obediently face us one-on-one, we might just forgive you. If you win, we might even call you 'Big Brother'"

Sister Tang, why don't you reconcile with us? If we make up, we won't hit him anymore. Our relationship is so good; do you really want to sever ties with us because of him? Don't be angry with us; we need you.

I, unexpectedly, fell into silence

Upon realizing this, I immediately stood in front of Tang Ning and shouted, "Chen Xun, what are you doing? What do you want to do?! If you dare to lay a finger on Tang Ning, I will definitely kill you!"

The crowd suddenly parted involuntarily as a young man emerged, cigarette in mouth. With a smile on his face, he regarded those around him with an air of superiority.

You ... ... ! '' A low growl escaped from Chen Xun's throat, resembling that of a beast

I said, "I am not afraid of you!" My heart had long been filled with pent-up frustration, and I finally erupted at this moment

His expression became even more sullen, and he could not have imagined that Tang Ning would speak so frankly. Tilting his mouth, he gently twisted his neck and said, "What do you mean, do you want to sever ties with me?"

Who are you?" Chen Xun's expression turned icy

"What is wrong with me?" I felt even more embarrassed, as my sweat trickled down my cheeks

One-on-one? Upon hearing Chai Jin's words, my heart twitched

Sister Tang, we want to see the excitement... Some people felt embarrassed

Looking again at Tang Ning and Chen Xun, the two of them were still in a standoff. Chen Xun's gaze was fierce, while Tang Ning appeared unafraid. Many others were watching me, considering me the focal point. Chai Jin lit a cigarette and smiled, saying, "What a buzzkill, Wang Xi actually jumped out to steal the scene. But if you really have the guts, I wouldn't mind a one-on-one with you."

And I suddenly looked at them coldly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't need you to go easy on me. Let's settle this one-on-one!"

"Wang Xi, let's go. I will find my brother this afternoon and ask him to come over and speak on your behalf. Don't get into a fight with them; you won't be able to win. Let's leave and make a clear distinction from these scoundrels in the future." Tang Ning tugged at my clothes again

I became the center of attention just like that. Faced with countless pairs of eyes, my face instantly turned red

"You little brat, are you looking for death!" After hearing my words, Chai Jin's expression changed. His gaze became fierce and cruel, emanating a powerful aura that pressured me.

Gritting my teeth, I shouted at the two little men, Chen Xun and Chai Jin, "If it's a one-on-one challenge, then let's do it. Who's afraid of you!"

There were too many onlookers, and Chen Xun's voice was too loud. After Chen Xun finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Zhang Xuan

"Yes, I despise you, I despise you, this scum of a person! It is said that Wang Xi is a pervert who steals silk stockings, disgusting as he is. But compared to him, you are an even more disgusting man, a hundred times more perverted than he is. Your heart is too filthy, you have no right to hit him!" Tang Ning closed her clear eyes and shouted at him with a pouted mouth.

I have made up my mind to take action and fight them with all my might. I know I will be killed by them, but I am not afraid

Tang Ning's brother is a notorious troublemaker outside of school, so even if she scolds Chen Xun, he wouldn't dare to touch her. Hehe, you actually want to protect her? That's just too naive, and it's really embarrassing for me. Zhang Xuan had a proud demeanor, constantly rolling her eyes at me.

At this moment, I have finally seen through human nature. Chai Jin is insidious and cunning, while Chen Xun is rotten to the core. However, Tang Ning is a good person; she is truly a good person. I must not allow Tang Ning to compromise herself just because I have reconciled with them. They are all scum, and I cannot let a good girl like Tang Ning be tainted by them. In the past, I had no friends, but today I have one. I have Tang Ning, someone who genuinely cares for me and treats me well. They are all scum, and I cannot let a good girl like Tang Ning be tainted by them. In the past, I had no friends, but today I have one. I have Tang Ning, someone who genuinely cares for me and treats me well.

"Wang Xi, how could he possibly be your opponent?" Tang Ning's delicate face flushed red as she angrily glared at Chen Xun

If Tang Ning reconciles with them, they will surely keep speaking ill of me. My cowardice will undoubtedly cause me to lose this friend who has been good to me. I cannot, I must be strong. I absolutely cannot allow Tang Ning and Zhang Xuan to return to their circle.

Ah, is that so... Looking at Zhang Xuan's disdainful gaze, I felt so ashamed that I wished I could burrow into the ground

However, at that moment, a cynical laugh suddenly emerged from the crowd, "Who says Wang Xi has no friends? I am his friend."

I don't care; I must hit him today. You can protect him, but you can't always be by his side, can you? As long as you are not around, I will hit him. Unless he challenges me to a one-on-one, I will hit him every time I see him in the future!" Chen Xun said coldly

They are all scum, why should I submit to them? I said coldly

Tang Ning has a very good reputation and holds a high status in the school. However, she actually reprimanded Chen Xun in front of so many people.

Zhang Xuan, she is a very clean girl, a delicate young lady. Her reputation is her life. Seeing so many people looking at her with strange eyes, Zhang Xuan was so angry that she was almost in tears, "Chen Xun, you are slandering me. I must have been blind to have fallen for a scoundrel like you!"

The wind grew stronger, stirring up rolling yellow sand from the ground. The wind tousled Tang Ning's smooth sofa. Sand fell upon all of us. Zhang Xuan glanced at the dust on her body and couldn't help but lightly furrow her brows. I stood beside them, observing everything. Watching Zhang Xuan maintain her proud demeanor at all times, a strange feeling surged within me.

Wang Xi, what are you doing? You can't possibly defeat them. You are not good at fighting and you have no friends. Why do you always argue with them? Can't you just back down? Seeing that I still refuse to yield, Tang Ning became anxious

"Damn you, you let this little brat take advantage of you, what else could it be but being cheap? Pretending to be reserved with me, pretending to be reserved, damn it!" Chen Xun coldly pointed at Zhang Xuan and scolded.

"Little brat, if you dare to leave, every time we see you, we will beat you up!" Chai Jin threatened me

Seeing Zhang Xuan on the verge of tears, my heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions. Although Zhang Xuan despises me and it is she who has caused me to end up in this situation, today she is suffering because of me, because I was insulted by Chen Xun. If she had not followed Tang Ning to protect me, how could she have been insulted by Chen Xun like this

"That's right, you can also ask a friend to fight for you. However, you probably don't have a single friend, do you?" Chai Jin smiled.

"However, you are not skilled at fighting at all, and you don't even have a single friend to help you. How could you possibly be their opponent?" Tang Ning asked

Chai Jin, Chen Xun, and Tang Ning are all prominent figures at our school. These individuals attract everyone's attention, and I often see them playing together. They all belong to the same circle, and if Tang Ning were to leave their circle, it would significantly diminish their luster. Observing Chai Jin's sincere tone, Tang Ning hesitated

"Hahaha, he agreed to a one-on-one challenge." After hearing my words, Chai Jin looked at Chen Xun with a proud expression

"Reconcile?" Upon hearing Chai Jin's words, Tang Ning frowned

Yes, abandon him and reconcile with us. We will not disturb this fellow as we did before

"Wang Xi, what are you doing? They are all thugs; how could you possibly defeat them? No one-on-one fights, let's go. You can't win against them, don't fall for their provocation." Tang Ning was surprised and pulled at my clothes, insisting that we leave.

Do you have any compassion? What are you calling him? Wang Xi is a sickly person; how could he possibly defeat them?" Hearing the crowd's uproar, Tang Ning angrily asked aloud

The onlookers glanced at my sickly figure and then at the petite Tang Ning. Observing our frail combination, they all laughed.

As for what Tang Ning said, it caused Chen Xun's expression to change dramatically

"Chen Xun, are you scolding me?" Zhang Xuan's eyes turned red

Aren't you done yet? Ah!" Tang Ning asked Chai Jin loudly

Faced with everyone's ridicule, I couldn't help but clench my fists tightly. I could no longer tolerate their insults towards Tang Ning, nor could I bear their insults towards those who have treated me well.

Yes, this kid is still in our class. He has offended Brother Xun, so I will definitely have to hit him often. " Chai Jin laughed

Seeing my fierce appearance, Chai Jin muttered a curse under his breath. Chen Xun was astonished, and everyone looked at me with strange expressions.

As I watched her speak her mind, Chen Xun's face gradually twisted in expression. I felt afraid, particularly fearful that in a moment of impulse, Chen Xun might harm Tang Ning. This was because Tang Ning was standing up for me; she was protecting me. If she were to be harmed because of me, I would never be able to forgive myself

I can no longer endure it; I am finally about to explode

Chen Xun, Chai Jin, you are being too bullying! Despite Zhang Xuan's dislike for me, I still couldn't help but speak up

I am Lu Zhicheng from Class 11

"Yes, do you dare to face me one-on-one! Damn you, if you have the guts, don't hide behind a woman!" Looking at me, the underlings of Chai Jin and Chen Xun shouted.

Tang Ning, your brother is quite the thug, I must admit. So you have cut ties with me, have you? Very well! However, I must deal with this little brat today, as he is far too arrogant. Isn't he supposed to be quite courageous? Why not let him face me in a one-on-one duel?" Chen Xun's body trembled incessantly, his face turning a shade of green from anger. He stared at me with a murderous glare.

Indeed, win quickly. If you win, let us call you big brother! The onlookers were eager to see the excitement and began to shout.

If I am to die, then so be it; I am not afraid of you! I said emphatically.

The wind grew stronger, and the air was thick with the scent of gunpowder. However, with my loud shout, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Chen Xun and Tang Ning ceased their argument, and countless gazes fell upon me. The only sound that could be heard was the wind, and the sky turned an even deeper shade of yellow.

He has a friend, and now Tang Ning is his friend. He can ask Tang Ning to challenge him one-on-one. Chen Xun also smiled with a grim expression.
