Chapter 2: The Degrading Female Classmate
How could I possibly let him hit again? I immediately took out the small knife from my pocket to stab the fourth one. One of the younger brothers beside me saw me with the knife and, frightened, kicked me hard. That guy was strong, and I was kicked in the stomach, causing me excruciating pain.
When I returned, class had just ended, and the others were not in the classroom, but Zhao Xia was there. Because of Zhao Xia, I had received two beatings from the homeroom teacher and was punished to stand for such a long time, how could I not be angry? I glared at Zhao Xia fiercely, wishing I could stare her to death
I have a few classmates at school with whom I have a decent relationship, all from my class. During class, I would throw notes to them, asking for their help in fighting. I threw notes to five people; two pretended not to see and did not pick up my notes. Two others picked them up and pretended to listen attentively to the class, without responding to me. One person did reply, but it was quite frustrating. That person asked me, "Did your cousin really get in?" Two others picked them up and pretended to listen attentively to the class, without responding to me. One person did reply, but it was quite frustrating. That person asked me, "Did your cousin really get in?"
At noon, when school was dismissed, seven or eight people gathered outside. The leader was Lao Si, and the rest were a few of us from the third year of junior high. Zhao Xia was also among them, along with another girl.
By the next day, Lao Si kept staring at me, and I felt certain that a fight would break out at noon. Lao Si had a rather pretentious expression as he touched Zhao Xia's face. Zhao Xia felt a bit embarrassed by his touch and lightly hit him. After hitting Lao Si, she turned back to glance at me. That look seemed to convey a sense of defiance, implying how impressive she was and that everyone she knew was tough.
What happened? I walked over while holding the knife in my pocket
"Brother Ming, there is no one at my home today. I have to go home after school to feed the chickens, so I cannot help you fight anymore." That person threw the note back at me
After I hid my knife, I waited for school to end to have a big fight with Lao Si and the others. Damn it, this time my knife is probably going to taste some blood
I am not afraid of Lao Si, but if he and his group were to attack me, I would have no way to defend myself. Although I have a knife, it is still a matter of concern if I were to stab someone to death. Moreover, they are numerous, and if things go awry, I would not only suffer but also lose face.
"Damn you, how dare you bring a knife!" Old Four was also taken aback, and he kicked me as well.
They saw me cursing and became even more aggressive
I was kicked to the ground by them and couldn't get up. I estimate I must have looked quite disheveled at that time. I couldn't fight them, but I wanted to save face, so I angrily cursed at them, including Lao Si and Zhao Xia, and I cursed them all.
The homeroom teacher hit me, and I flinched in fear. However, I am not afraid of him; I just glared at him with my eyes. The homeroom teacher then cursed a couple of times and pushed and shoved me into the office
My cousin is particularly good to me, and I am most annoyed when others ask about him. I coldly asked, "What does it matter to you whether my cousin is in or out?"
I looked at her, whose expression was worse than that of someone who had just lost their temper, and I thought to myself, this time I must teach her a lesson; I will definitely not end well if I don't.
"Stop!" A girl suddenly shouted, and immediately several people came over to pull the fourth one and the others away, separating them all. I smelled a fragrance, and a delicate, snow-white hand helped me up.
At that moment, I silently vowed to myself that I would make something of myself, to be as impressive as my cousin, not allowing anyone to bully me or look down on me
The history teacher is quite old and does not like to manage affairs. He squinted his eyes and looked for a while, then muttered, "Feed the chickens?" Many students sitting in front heard him, and those who misinterpreted it all burst into laughter. The history teacher also laughed and said to us, "Your thoughts are too unhealthy"
Six men and two women, the men's gazes are increasingly pretentious, while the women's gazes are increasingly contemptuous. I find those looks very displeasing.
"Yes, it really went in." I know what that person means, and I did not deceive him
"Zhang Mingming, come here." Lao Si lit a cigarette, looking quite profound. His hair was rather long, tied back in a bun behind his ear; that style was very popular at the time, and those without status dared not adopt it, fearing they would be beaten.
What is going on? The teacher teaches history and is quite kind. In this class, the teacher didn't like to talk and let us study on our own while he read the newspaper
I laughed when I saw someone writing "True Collection". Which fool had the audacity to bring "True Collection" to school, only to have it confiscated by the homeroom teacher? Haha, I guess the one who had "True Collection" confiscated is bound to get a good scolding from the homeroom teacher. The one who brought "True Collection" is really something, but I like it. After I laughed, I also secretly took the "True Collection" and hid it on myself
At that moment, we were in class. Her voice was very loud, and both the teacher and my classmates looked at me, which made me feel quite embarrassed. Being scolded so loudly by her made my face instantly turn red.
"Teacher, Zhang Mingming threw a paper ball at me!" Zhao Xia, shaking her ponytail, looked quite displeased
When I arrived at the school gate, Lao Si and the others were not waiting for me there. I felt a bit puzzled and worried that they might think I had deliberately run away after school, so I waited there for a while. After a few minutes, I still did not see Lao Si and the others. I thought it was better not to wait, so I headed home.
"Alright, let's start the class." The history teacher did not say anything further and continued to read the newspaper.
The homeroom teacher knows that my grandmother cares for me, but it is of no use to contact my parents. He ignored me and went to class after smoking a cigarette. Standing for a whole class was exhausting. I was worried that the others would beat me up after school, and I couldn't go without a weapon, so I went to rummage through the homeroom teacher's drawer, hoping to steal my knife.
Those people ignored the history teacher and continued to laugh heartily. Zhao Xia also looked at me with a satisfied expression.
"Hehe, your cousin has gone in, huh?" Fourth said, licking his lips and smiling at me
It was just my bad luck. The person sitting in front of me was quite far away, and when I threw it, I miscalculated and ended up hitting Zhao Xia on the back of her head. When I hit Zhao Xia, my heart sank; she also felt someone hit her with something. When she turned around, she happened to see my awkward expression, and she thought I had done it on purpose. Her gaze immediately turned sharp. "Zhang Mingming, are you shameless?" When she turned around, she happened to see my awkward expression, and she thought I had done it on purpose. Her gaze immediately turned sharp. "Zhang Mingming, are you shameless?"
"Go ahead, I'm waiting." Zhao Xia looked at me with a rather disdainful expression. After saying this, she added another remark. It was because of this statement that I began to harbor some resentment towards her. "What are you even pretending to be when you are nothing but a mess day after day? Without your cousin, what would you be?" After saying this, Zhao Xia turned her head away and returned to her seat.
I was very angry after reading the note. I wanted to crumple it up and smash it hard, but I thought it was already quite good that he replied to me, much better than the four who didn't respond. So I replied, "Alright, you go home and feed the chickens; I won't hold it against you"
Lao Si said he would beat me after school. When school was over, I put my hands in my pockets, tightly gripping a knife. Lao Si could find quite a few people to help him beat me, and I felt quite nervous. If they really pushed me to the edge, I would retaliate against Lao Si with a knife, even if it meant dropping out of school.
I did not speak, and I do not know what to say
At that moment, the fourth one and his group of people came in. Zhao Xia saw them and ran over to say something, simultaneously pointing at me with her finger. The fourth one looked at me with a cold smile, then mouthed to me, "You wait for school to end."
I have my thoughts; aren't you being shameless? I'll find an opportunity to teach you a lesson. Although Zhao Xia is detestable, she is, after all, a girl and has a decent figure. At that time, I had an idea; I wanted to find a secluded place to properly educate Zhao Xia.
I watched Zhao Xia's contemptible figure, clenching my fists. She has a good figure, her silhouette slender. Yet to me, she is utterly repulsive. Before my cousin went in, Zhao Xia and I kept our distance; she had never provoked me, and we had never spoken. However, once my cousin was inside, the gang at school began to retaliate against me, and even Zhao Xia, a girl, looked down on me.
I don't care to look at her; a woman like that is merely for men's amusement
I am no match for them in a one-on-one confrontation, let alone when facing six at once. With their big feet, they kicked me relentlessly, and I accidentally fell to the ground, cutting my hand on a knife during the fall. They attacked me right at dismissal time, when many students were coming out of school, and there were a few teachers as well. The teachers were from other classes and were too lazy to intervene in our matter. Among the students, there were both boys and girls, including a few who were quite good-looking, and they all watched from a distance as I was being beaten. Zhao Xia and another girl felt quite proud, standing tall with their chests out.
You are really something, just wait! Although Zhao Xia is quite unpleasant, she is still a girl. I cannot hit her, so I will just use harsh words to intimidate her.
I opened the drawer of the homeroom teacher and found my knife inside, just as I expected. Besides my knife, there was also a game console, an electronic pet, several comic books, and a book titled "True Collection".
What are you staring at! Zhao Xia is not afraid of me and is also glaring at me with her eyes
After returning home, I finished my homework and then studied the stolen collection of writings. That collection is quite remarkable and not something an ordinary person can purchase. When my cousin went in, he asked me to keep an eye on his younger wife. In the evening, I took a stroll outside her house, but I didn't see her, so I returned home
"Haha, your cousin just went in and hit you," said Lao Si, and with that, he slapped me hard across the face. That slap left my face stinging. I started school early, and the oldest in my class was two years older than me, while the rest were generally one year older. In our class, I was the youngest. During those school days, being a year younger made a significant difference; I couldn't compare in strength or anything else. Among the Four Heavenly Kings, the third one was held back a year, and when he dropped down, he easily knocked out several others to become the third among the Four Heavenly Kings.

Zhao Xia felt a bit dissatisfied when she saw that the history teacher did not punish me. At that moment, she did not know who informed her that it was a piece of paper, so Zhao Xia picked up the crumpled paper and looked at it. After reading it, she laughed in a rather mischievous manner, then stood up to hand the note to the history teacher
"Zhang Mingming, what is the matter with you? Why aren't you attending class properly?" the history teacher asked me
I heard your cousin was sentenced to three years? Haha, I let you be impressive! This time your cousin is inside, and we will beat you every day. When your cousin comes out, we will beat both you and your cousin together. " After saying this, Lao Si was about to hit me again.
After standing for another class period, the homeroom teacher finally let me go. By the time he released me, his anger had subsided considerably, and he told me that my studies were also quite good, advising me not to fight anymore
