Chapter 10, The New School is a Bit Chaotic (Part 2)

However, when my eyes glanced over, I saw her wearing a dress and flip-flops, exposing her little feet. I was at a loss for words and ended up helping her carry a basin of water. After that, the two of us walked a short distance together, and many men along the way kept looking our way. There was nothing I could do; Lin Yimei, this city princess, had an irresistible charm for them.

In about ten minutes, Cao Sen led the members of our class back to the classroom. His hair was messy and dusty, and he was quite dirty, clearly having taken quite a beating. After sitting down, he continued to curse and swear, insisting that this matter absolutely could not be left unresolved

I smiled but said nothing, thinking to myself that I would not expose him.

Lying in bed at night, I kept thinking about the incident of the group fight on the first and second day of the new year, which will probably remain unforgettable for a long time.

However, this fight did not take place, because just as we reached the entrance, we ran into the principal. The principal knows me, and upon seeing me come out with these few individuals, he probably understood what kind of people they were. It was clear that they had come to cause me trouble.

I feel that I have endured quite a bit of beating since childhood and have also been involved in numerous fights. The most intense incident was when I stabbed Chicken Feather Brother with a knife. I believe that at my age, there are very few people as bold and capable of fighting as I am. However, today, witnessing this scene still left me in shock, especially those three security guards. Although their fighting skills did not seem very high, the aura of dominance they displayed made my blood boil. It seems that this school is not as weak as I had imagined.

At the water room, I happened to run into Lin Yimei. Perhaps due to the large number of people, she called out to me, handed me her basin, and asked me to help her fetch a basin of water

I told the person with the *picture* book that we arrived first, so why should we leave? That person didn't waste any time talking to me and directly said: "I'll count to three; if you don't leave, just try me." With that, he started counting.

Thus, I followed those few people outside, and at that moment, I was already prepared to be beaten. It was the same old plan: whoever made the first move, I would grab onto him and fight back. This was also something my father taught me when I was young

Cao Sen is the only one who dared to meet my gaze yesterday when I just arrived, a guy with a middle part hairstyle. He is not handsome, has dark skin, but he is chubby. However, he is quite ruthless when it comes to taking action, and can be considered the leader of our class

Lin Yimei then gave my arm a light slap and said: "It wasn't you who asked me, you really are destined to have no girlfriend!" After saying this, perhaps fearing that I would retaliate, she hurriedly ran off with the water basin. However, she slipped and fell directly to the ground, spilling all the water. Her skirt became soaked in a large area. When she got up, the wet skirt clung closely to her hips and thighs. Lin Yimei, feeling embarrassed, quickly picked up the water basin, did not go back to fetch more water, and hurriedly walked away with the basin covering her backside.

After a moment, the shouts and curses outside the classroom grew louder. Those sitting by the window were craning their necks to watch the commotion. At that moment, I had no desire to attend class. In my previous school, there had been fights, but they were always on a small scale, with just a few people on each side. I had never seen anything like this, where so many were involved and it stirred the entire school. I couldn't help but think: Could it be that everyone in this school is so fierce?

Cao Sen sighed and said: Let's do this, we are all in the same class. I can help you with the library, so you go to the convenience store and buy two packs of cigarettes. I will take them to speak on your behalf, and perhaps it will resolve the issue. Otherwise, since you just arrived at school and have no support, they can bully you once, and then they will bully you a second and third time. Are you planning to let them bully you like this until you graduate from middle school?

I do not know what purpose Cao Sen has in saying these words to me, so I can only say: If we are to do it, then let us do it; I am not afraid.

I asked Lin Yimei, the person who gave you that must be a love letter, right

The man with dyed hair ignored him. Just as he counted to three, he came over and grabbed my clothes, trying to pull me up, while saying: "The cafeteria is not a good place to handle this, come with me outside."

Later, I saw the first-year students standing in a row and the second-year students standing in another row. A tall, thin male teacher was swinging a stool leg at each of them. When a student hit him, he dodged back, but the teacher immediately went over, grabbed the student's hair, yanked it down forcefully, and then drove his knee into him. The student immediately went limp and fell to the ground. By the time he managed to get up, his nosebleed had stained his clothes red

What surprised me even more was that all three of them were holding iron rods. When they approached the fighting individuals, they swung the rods at them while shouting: "Stop it right now, all of you, stop it."

At that moment, I hesitated, wondering how well I knew you and why I should help you fetch water, especially since you didn't even ask for my consent before handing me the basin.

After the principal left, Lin Yimei, Bai Xue, and I continued to go back to eat. After they finished their meal, the group with dyed hair did not come over to trouble us again; instead, they drove away a few people from other tables. However, while they were eating, they kept glancing over at me. I knew that they would still come to find trouble with me in the library; it was only a matter of time.

Seeing her like that, I actually laughed for a long time

As for the chubby one, he waited for me to finish my meal and wash the dishes before he called the teacher. After I returned to the dormitory, he smiled awkwardly when he saw me and said: I apologize, Brother Lei, I just went to the dormitory to look for the homeroom teacher, but I didn't see her.

I was a bit confused, wondering who Zuo Yong was, but I quickly realized that the person I had provoked in the cafeteria today was probably that guy with the permed hair, Zuo Yong.

Lin Yimei was a bit angry; she stood up and pointed at that person, saying: "How can you be so shameless"

Lin Yimei clearly did not expect me to say this, and was momentarily taken aback, unsure of what to say next

The place where she fell to the ground was covered in a pool of blood, likely due to a large hole in her head from being struck.

Around 11 o'clock, I started to feel sleepy. Just as I was dozing off, Cao Sen returned to the dormitory. He sat on my bed, patted me, and said: "Have you offended Zuo Yong?"

Cao Sen's intention is clear to me; he just wants to test whether I am a coward. If I really bought him cigarettes, it is likely that one of the two packs would end up in his hands. This way, they would become even more brazen in bullying me in the future. I am not that foolish.

Once the teacher left, our classroom descended into chaos, and no one attended class. The boys with a bit more courage went outside to watch the commotion. However, when the fight spread to the entrance of our classroom, those onlookers quickly rushed inside.

In a moment of reflection, I realized that I offended that dyed-haired individual during lunch today. He is in the third year of junior high, and if the fights in the first and second years were like this, they must be even more formidable. It seems that my days ahead will not be easy.

Later, a brick broke the glass of our classroom, directly hitting a girl in our class on the head. The girl did not make a sound and fell to the ground. She was immediately carried out by several people and taken to the hospital

That night during evening self-study, it seemed that a fight broke out on campus, and the noise was quite intense. Later, a tall, heavyset guy kicked open our classroom door and shouted inside: "Cao Sen, come out quickly, the little brats from the first year are causing a ruckus."

The hairdresser said understood, and then the principal let them go, also asking if I was okay. I replied that I was fine. He mentioned that the dining hall's tables were a bit tight and that he would think of a solution.

Cao Sen, after cursing a few times, disregarded the teacher on the podium and shouted: "Everyone follow me," before running outside. As he ran out, seven or eight boys from the back row followed him, which infuriated the teacher.

As the evening study session was about to end, on the way, two men stopped Lin Yimei, who was walking ahead, and handed her a letter before hurriedly running away. I suspect it might be a love letter

Cao Sen nodded and said: Yes, it's him. He just asked me what your background is, and I suspect he will be looking for someone to deal with you soon

I am not in a hurry yet, but Lin Yimei is anxious. She is shouting loudly from the side, saying that someone has already reported to the teacher, and if you touch him, you are all finished. Before she could finish her sentence, I started to feel a bit impatient and turned around, saying irritably: "Alright, this is between us; what business do you have as a woman in this matter"

Cao Sen let out a cold laugh after listening, a sound that carried a hint of mockery; he probably thought I was just putting on an act.

After lying down in the dormitory for a while, I took a water basin and went to the water room outside to fetch water. The boys' and girls' dormitories in the school are both single-story buildings, and there are no protective walls or any other protective facilities between them. To put it simply, they are interconnected.

Later, I saw three men coming from the direction of the gatekeeper; they were security personnel from our school, and the leader was the one who had stopped me last time, known for his sharp tongue.

I told the hairdresser not to pull me, as I can walk by myself

I asked if Cao Sen is in the third year of junior high school and if he has permed hair

I said I wasn't very interested in talking about love, and Lin Yimei immediately became displeased, saying: "You are really boring. Yes, it's a love letter. The guy is quite handsome, he has double eyelids, and his eyes are quite nice..." I replied, "Alright, what does this have to do with me?"

Of course, there were too many people fighting. Although the three security guards were quite fierce, no one dared to confront them. However, the fighting scene continued without interruption. Eventually, the principal, accompanied by four or five male teachers, armed with tools, came over to join the three security guards in subduing the students. The situation was brought under control in no time.

Lin Yimei kept me in suspense, saying, "Guess what."

The principal called my name, and I responded. He then asked me what was going on, wondering if they were trying to bully me

The principal immediately slapped the student with dyed hair after listening to the past events and also kicked two people nearby. Although these individuals appeared somewhat dissatisfied, they remained silent. In the end, the principal warned them that if they continued to cause trouble for me, they would have to roll up their bedding and leave.

Before I could say anything, Lin Yimei had already reported it, spilling everything out at once

The teachers here are much harsher in disciplining students than those we had before. No wonder I used to hear people say that the teachers in closed schools are quite severe; it seems to be true.
