Class 12, Grade 3!
Huang Xiaojun was smoking with a few of his lackeys in the classroom. Since tomorrow was Saturday, a good number of students stayed in during the lunch break today, discussing plans to go out and have fun together the next day.
Zhang Hao had just come out of the hospital and was genuinely fuming. He spat out a puff of his dark cigarette and said, "Damn, Boss, we can’t just let that bumpkin’s matter slide!"
With a cigarette in his mouth, Huang Xiaojun’s face twisted into a vicious expression as he said, "Hao, rest assured. Has anyone who’s crossed Huang Xiaojun ever ended up well?"
Yellow Hair said, "Boss, that kid does have some skills. Should we make a call to Brother Lei Hu? Have him send over a few boys to sort this kid out?"
"Damn!" Huang Xiaojun glared at Yellow Hair and said, "Fuck, do I need a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken? Hassle Brother Hu with such a trivial matter, what the hell would I be good for then?" He paused for a moment and then added, "Even if that kid’s tough, he’s just one person. We’ll find a chance to take him down outside school. I don’t believe he can handle ten or eight of us on his own..."
While they were talking, suddenly, one of the lackeys nudged Huang Xiaojun. Huang Xiaojun was about to give a kickass speech to boost everyone’s morale, but being interrupted like that, he immediately got irritated and said, "Tao Li, what the fuck, why are you pushing me?"
"B-Boss, quick, look at the entrance," the guy named Tao Li said with a quiver in his voice.
Frowning, Huang Xiaojun glanced toward the doorway and saw Leng Xuan, expressionless, leading Zhou Li, her face flushed red, into the room!
At this moment, other students in the class also noticed the scene, and immediately there was a stir with a buzz of conversation!
"Who is he? Is he Zhou Li’s boyfriend?"
"Yeah, why haven’t I seen him before?"
"Zhou Li usually seems so decent. I had no idea she was an undercover flirt."
"But the guy does look pretty handsome. He and Zhou Li do seem like a good match."
"That... isn’t that him?" Little Mi, who had sat with Leng Xuan in the cafeteria before, widened his eyes in surprise.
"..."
Huang Xiaojun’s face turned as ugly as it could get as he stood up with a few of his lackeys and glared at Leng Xuan.
After reaching the lectern, Leng Xuan slightly tightened his hold on Zhou Li’s soft hand and whispered in a voice that only they could hear, "If you don’t want to blow our cover, act more convincingly."
Zhou Li was actually very nervous because she was not certain that Huang Xiaojun would really back down from Leng Xuan. Moreover, by doing this, she was undoubtedly deepening the enmity between Leng Xuan and Huang Xiaojun. Thus, she felt both frightened of Huang Xiaojun and guilty towards Leng Xuan. Hearing Leng Xuan’s calm voice, she felt somewhat comforted. Biting her lip, she raised her head and looked towards Huang Xiaojun together with Leng Xuan.
"Huang Xiaojun, is it?" Leng Xuan looked at Huang Xiaojun and casually said, "You’re quite fond of my girlfriend, aren’t you?"
Huang Xiaojun’s eyes widened as if two balls of raging fire were burning inside, but before he could erupt, a piercingly cold glare from Leng Xuan suddenly burst forth with two tangible threads of killing intent as he said flatly, "Come up here!"
To put on an act at the level Leng Xuan was doing was almost an artistic state of being. Huang Xiaojun felt that in this moment, Leng Xuan was not just a student but one of those figures in society who simply don’t give a damn about others’ lives, sending an involuntary shiver down his spine.
