Ling Xuejiu treated it like a dog barking, not worth bothering with.
Li Mengjie, however, looked at Zhang Hao with disgust, then lowered her head and continued watching the movie.
Zhang Hao couldn’t save face anymore and let out a cold sneer, his expression turning dark as he slammed the baseball bat onto Ling Xuejiu’s desk with a "bang" and cursed, "Damn it, can’t appreciate kindness, huh? Did you hear me talking to you?"
"Hey, can you stop barking here, you mad dog?" Before Ling Xuejiu even responded, Li Mengjie, who was sitting beside him, couldn’t stand it anymore and blurted out a curse before glaring at Zhang Hao.
"Damn, who are you talking to?" Zhang Hao’s cronies had also come over, and upon hearing Li Mengjie berate Zhang Hao, they instantly became ferocious, surrounding Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie. Their eyes were also dishonest, unabashedly wandering over places they shouldn’t, which angered Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie even more.
However, Ling Xuejiu, seeing their aggressive stance, became somewhat cautious. Although she was a Judo 8th Stage expert and could normally take down five or six people without difficulty, there was just no room to move with desks blocking them front and back, a wall on the right, and Zhang Hao’s gang on the left.
Li Mengjie had spoken impulsively, and now she was regretting it, silently wishing for Leng Xuan to hurry back.
Even Ling Xuejiu hoped to see Leng Xuan, though she couldn’t stop looking for reasons to argue with him usually. But now, feeling helpless, her first thought was of him.
Unfortunately, Leng Xuan was nowhere to be seen.
"What kind of men are you, bullying two weak women? You bunch of son of a bitches." Suddenly, at this critical moment, a male student stood up, his face filled with outrage as he cursed loudly.
When the student spoke up, everyone’s gaze in the class shifted to him—nobody expected him to be Zhao Xiaotian, the known timid and well-behaved boy.
Zhao Xiaotian found the courage partly because it wasn’t just any girls involved, but mainly because the troublemakers were looking for Leng Xuan. Ever since Leng Xuan stood up for him, teaching Xu Renjie a lesson and beating up Huang Xiaojun, Xiaotian had idolized Leng Xuan.
With Zhang Hao failing to find Leng Xuan and starting to bully two girls instead—girls who were goddesses in the eyes of all the boys in the class, Xiaotian himself included—he impulsively stood up and swore.
However, Zhao Xiaotian’s bravado lasted only a moment. Under the gaze of Zhang Hao and his lackeys, his momentum was instantly quashed, and he nervously didn’t know where to put his hands.
"Fuck!" Zhang Hao glared at Zhao Xiaotian and cursed, "Who the hell are you, huh? Think you’re all that?"
Zhao Xiaotian toughened up and said, "My name is Zhao Xiaotian. Zhang Hao, is that all the spine you’ve got? A bunch of men bullying two girls? Have the guts to take me on one-on-one!" Xiaotian wasn’t stupid— he knew that if a fight broke out and they ganged up on him, he’d be done for. So he hoped to provoke Zhang Hao into a one-on-one fight, on the off chance that Leng Xuan might return by then!
