Chapter 9: Rebirth in Desperation

I originally wanted to say a few words of thanks to the class monitor, but at that moment, Luan Yu suddenly leaned close to me, placing a hand on my shoulder, and whispered in my ear, "Come with me!"

However, I truly cannot explain it, and I do not know how to explain it. No matter what, I cannot reveal Xiaoyue's unfortunate experiences, nor can I ruin her pure image in the eyes of others. I can only swallow all the bitterness and tears, silently enduring it all.

I feel completely bewildered, my ears are buzzing, and I can still hear Luan Yu's gritted teeth voice beside me: "Hmph, daring to play tricks with me, I advise you to confess honestly. Don't think I don't know that you two met in the library. If you don't tell the truth, I'll make sure you lie down and go to the hospital right now"

Through my blurred tears, I saw Lei Zi on the opposite side. Without hesitation, he rushed over and delivered a flying kick to me. His approach was swift, and the force was fierce; the momentum was overwhelming, as if I had stolen his girlfriend. He showed me no mercy at all. I thought to myself that this kick could completely shatter my frail body. At that moment, I was scared, truly scared. I wanted to dodge, but my legs were trembling and I couldn't move at all.

Luan Yu was already red-eyed with anger. He shook me off and took a few steps towards the squad leader, shouting fiercely: "Zheng Tianlin, if you don't know the reason, don't meddle in my affairs. Remember the agreement we just made; if you interfere again, don't blame me for being heartless!"

What is even more critical is that Lei Zi is not only physically robust, but his movements are also extremely agile. Taking advantage of the class leader's excessive fatigue, he suddenly delivered several heavy blows to the class leader. Seeing the class leader's face contorted in pain made my heart sink as well. It seems he cannot withstand the attacks from the big black bull, while the big black bull is completely indifferent to his strikes. If this continues, the outcome is evident.

Upon hearing this, Lei Zi quickly nodded and then revealed a sinister smile towards me

After finishing, Luan Yu asked me eagerly, "Tell me, what exactly did you two talk about in the library? I heard that you almost hugged each other; that sounds quite intimate. Also, why did you go to such lengths to protect Yueyue at the restaurant last time? What is your relationship? If you don't speak up, I will make you regret it for sure!"

In his agitation, he even considered rushing over, but was immediately stopped by Lei Zi and the others. He had previously made an agreement with Luan Yu that if he lost, he would never interfere in my matters, so he could only fume in frustration. Those watching the spectacle nearby also felt some sympathy for me, pointing and whispering about us.

One cannot say that the class monitor is weak; he is truly not weak. It can only be attributed to the fact that Dahei Niu and Leizi are too strong, a strength that is simply beyond what the students can contend with.

As soon as I heard this, I quickly replied, "I didn't say that!"

Although I am insignificant, my words do hold some weight. Luan Yu has seen that the outcome is already determined, so he has decided to let Lei Zi take care of it.

Only I, with countless hopes, pray for the class leader's success. There is nothing I can do, only offering him support through my gaze, cheering for him in my heart

However, in the face of Leizi's provocation, the class leader showed no signs of weakness. He confidently stepped forward, took off his clothes, and prepared to engage in a fight

After speaking, he rushed in front of me, grabbing my hair and demanding an explanation

Some timid onlookers turned their heads away, unable to bear the brutal scene, while I was on the verge of wetting my pants. I was afraid, not knowing what to do, and could only gently close my tear-filled eyes, preparing to face my fate

The class monitor was about to speak when Luan Yu suddenly shouted from across the room: "As a man, one must follow through on their words and be able to accept defeat."

I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude towards the class monitor. He has helped me immensely, and I do not want to see him suffer a more painful fate for my sake. With tears in my eyes, I could only say to him: "Class monitor, thank you so much. You no longer need to worry about the * book *; you can go back now!"

In an instant, everyone present turned their gaze towards the source of the sound

After walking for a while, Luan Yu finally stopped. He leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Kid, you have some nerve. Didn't I warn you last time? Don't speak carelessly. How dare you say that again?"

At last, under the intense gaze of the crowd, the one-on-one challenge officially commenced. The crowd erupted in excitement.

My silence, to Luan Yu, seems to be an acquiescence, which has already touched his bottom line. He appears to truly love Xiao Yue, so seeing me like this, he completely lost his temper. He stared at me with wide eyes and said fiercely, "Alright, alright, you have quite a bit of backbone. Today, I want to see just how hard your bones really are!"

Just as my eyes were about to close, a somewhat worn plastic woven bag suddenly flew in from my side and accurately struck one of the legs of the thunderous figure approaching me. Although the figure was robust, it lost its balance and stumbled to the ground after taking a solid hit from the heavy bag filled with items.

Seeing Lei Zi take the stage, my heart suddenly raced. I have witnessed his strength; he is undeniably impressive. Although the last time he faced 1V4 there was an element of theatrics, he is indeed formidable and clearly well-trained. As for the class leader, I do not know much about him and have never seen him fight; I only know that he has been practicing Taekwondo since childhood. Perhaps it is because Lei Zi's excitement is so evident that it makes the class leader seem somewhat less confident.

Having spoken, he turned to Lei Zi and commanded, "Lei Zi, come over and loosen his bones!"

For Xiao Yue, I can only choose to remain silent. However, Luan Yu, seeing me stubbornly keeping quiet, increasingly misunderstands my relationship with Xiao Yue. His palm came down mercilessly, and I, this poor little chick, was struck so hard that my head drooped. In the distance, the class monitor could no longer bear to watch; he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Luan Yu, are you still a man? She's just a poor cripple; do you really need to be so ruthless?"

Indeed, the class monitor had promised Luanyu in front of so many people that he would withdraw if he lost. Now, even if he felt immense anger inside, he could only endure it. With Luanyu's reminder, he could only awkwardly brush off the dust from his clothes and then cast a sympathetic glance at me, remaining silent thereafter

Luan Yu seemed to have long since determined that I was the one who informed on him. Before I could even deny it, he slapped me hard across the face without saying a word.

Luan Yu noticed that the class monitor was perceptive, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He glanced lightly at the big black bull beside him and said, "Leizi, you go!"

Upon seeing this fierce bull, I couldn't help but tremble all over. Even the squad leader was no match for him, and as for me, being disabled, how could I withstand his blows? I was unable to struggle in any way, only able to shed tears of despair. This time, there was no one who could save me; even the squad leader could only watch me in silence, while the others could at most cast sympathetic glances in my direction.

It feels like a decisive battle between heroes. Looking at the class leader's expression, it seems he is filled with confidence in his combat abilities, which gives me a glimmer of hope

Suddenly, one of the brothers beside Luan Yu glanced at his watch with a smile and then said to another person, "Five minutes, how about it? I won, hurry up and pay up!"

At this moment, Luan Yu, who had always been very composed, was completely enraged. He grabbed my hair and slapped me twice. Tears streamed down my face as the pain mixed with the grievance in my heart, and I couldn't stop crying.

I was like a limping chick, easily pulled away by Luan Yu. The class monitor beside me was filled with anger but dared not speak up

I do not know what misfortune has befallen me, how is it that I have become a whistleblower? Everything was fine, and now I am to be slapped by Luan Yu. He and - Tu - Shu want me to tell the truth, yet I can only respond once more: "I truly did not say anything!"

I do not understand why things have come to this point, why Xiaoyue suddenly changed her attitude towards Luan Yu, and why my relationship with Xiaoyue had to be dragged into this. This truly leaves me speechless. I can say that I did not betray her, but how can I explain my relationship with Xiaoyue? How can I clarify the matter of Xiaoyue being abducted? Does this not completely expose Xiaoyue's distress?

But looking at Luan Yu, he still maintained that calm demeanor. He did not get angry; he simply stood up abruptly, chuckled a few times, and then said to the class monitor: "Alright, you really have some guts. I don't want to take advantage of you. You know, in school, you can't get the better of me. So, since I see you're a man, I'll give you a chance. Didn't I hear that you're quite good at fighting? How about you practice with my brother? If you win, you can take Ge Tian away, and I'll pretend nothing happened. If you lose, just step aside obediently and don't meddle in other people's business!"

At the moment the arrogant and domineering Lei Zi landed, a full and deep voice suddenly pierced the air: "Do not bully my brother!"

This statement clearly provided the class leader with a way out, and the class leader could only follow this path down. He hesitated slightly for a moment, then calmly said: "Alright!"

Indeed, after just a few rounds, amidst the uproar and screams of the audience, the climax came to an end as the class monitor was finally knocked to the ground by a powerful kick from Lei Zi. Lei Zi's massive frame pinned the class monitor down firmly. Lei Zi emerged victorious, and the entire venue erupted once again.

In their view, this match was a sure win for Lei Zi; they were merely betting on the time of victory. This was nothing short of an insult to the class leader, who was a man of great spirit. With his eyes blazing, he feared nothing. After being released by Lei Zi, he still wanted to continue fighting and even planned to bring a few of his brothers to join him. Seeing this, I quickly stopped him

As I watched my savior, the *illustrated* book, fall, a great mountain in my heart also collapsed. I knew I was finished; no one could save me. I had offended someone I could not afford to offend. Even a deity could not rescue me.

I am truly aggrieved, feeling very anxious inside, yet all I can do is repeatedly say: "I really said nothing!"

As the number of onlookers gradually increased, the one-on-one duel between these two somewhat well-known individuals in the school attracted particular attention. The discussions among the crowd rose and fell, with many speculating on who would win, but it was clear that the majority favored Lei Zi, the big black bull.

My palms were sweating, and I was unusually excited. I dared not blink as I stared at the two people in combat. To be honest, the squad leader's explosive power was indeed impressive. At the beginning, he had the upper hand, and the spectators were filled with fervor.

Luan Yu looked at me, refusing to admit it, and became angry. He disregarded his gentlemanly demeanor and grabbed my hair, saying fiercely: "Did you not say anything? Did you not mention how Yueyue's attitude changed today? Tell me, what did you say!"

I have come to appreciate the prowess of the class leader; his years of practicing Taekwondo have certainly paid off. His leg techniques are truly remarkable, delivering kick after kick solidly against the big black bull. I thought that if this continued, Lei Zi, no matter how strong, would eventually be defeated. However, to my great disappointment, Lei Zi is just like a real bull, incredibly robust, with a body as solid as iron. Despite enduring so many kicks from the class leader, he remains completely unscathed.

I saw a tall man wearing a military coat and a Lei Feng cap walking straight towards me; he turned out to be my second foolish brother

Leizi nodded with a chuckle, quickly took off his jacket and tossed it to the ground. Then, he strode forward a few steps and provocatively said to the class monitor: "Come on!"

Although I was very afraid, afraid of being beaten, afraid of being humiliated, when I saw the class monitor lying on the ground still unwilling to submit and wanting to continue resisting, only to be hit a few more times, I mustered my courage and shouted, "Enough!"
