Chapter 20: Who Was Born to Pick Up Trash?

  Chen Hongmei's words were almost unanimously agreed upon, and for a time everyone followed suit, saying all sorts of insulting things to Feng Xiaotian. Only Wang Qianqian hesitated, wanting to speak up in his defense. After all, they were all classmates - why humiliate him like this? But seeing that the whole class had joined in, she could only keep quiet. As a newcomer, although well-received by her peers, she didn't have the courage to stand against everyone.

  Feng Xiao Tian lowered his head and listened to the insults from his classmates, without any expression on his face. Even with a broken skin that was bleeding, he didn't do anything about it. The words from his classmates were very vicious, saying whatever they wanted, even mentioning the death of his parents, saying that someone like him deserved to have his whole family die out.

  Feng Xiaotian clenched his fists tightly when he heard these words. All along, he had been pretending not to see the insults and ridicule from his classmates, and it could be said that he was already used to it. But now, Feng Xiaotian was somewhat angry, because these people had insulted his family!

  His parents died, and his grandmother also died of illness. This made Feng Xiaotian bear the heavy responsibility of the family too early. Although this family only had him, in order to survive, he endured too many white eyes. He picked up scraps to earn a living, wore tattered clothes because of poverty, and the yellow ball shoes on his feet were also patched with patches. All of these Feng Xiaotian could bear, thinking that as long as he persisted, everything would get better, at least there was hope. But now, what his classmates said deeply hurt him, making him no longer silent!

  Feng Xiaotian slowly raised his head, facing the unrelenting insults. Suddenly, he went mad! Yes, he was mad! He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Have you had enough?! What does this have to do with my family?! Look at your ugly faces! You always bully me! I'm a trash collector, so what?! Who's born wanting to collect trash?! I wear tattered clothes, who doesn't want new ones?! You're all dressed up, with no worries about food or clothing, but in my eyes, you're all just garbage! Every single one of you is garbage! Am I affecting the class's reputation?! Fine! I won't stay in this class anymore! I won't attend school! Are you all satisfied now?!

  Feng Xiao Tian's face turned blue with rage as he spoke, his facial expression twisted in a mixture of anger and pain. The blood flowing down from the wound on his cheek had dyed half of his face red, making him look even more terrifying.

  At this moment, everyone present was stunned. No one expected that the usually docile person would suddenly erupt completely. Looking at Feng Xiaotian's terrifying appearance, everyone felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts. Especially Feng Xiaotian's eyes, which were filled with anger, resentment, disdain - and deep hatred. They were stunned for a long time, and no one said a word.

  After scolding, Feng Xiaotian glanced around at his classmates, but no one dared to look him in the eye. After a glance, he pushed away the classmate next to him and walked towards the classroom without looking back.

  He had just made a statement that he would no longer attend school, so he was going to the classroom to collect his things and leave. Just as he passed by Li Xiaohu, Li Xiaohu suddenly shouted loudly: "What kind of thing are you! How dare you scold everyone like this! I'll beat you to death!"

  Li Xiaohu finished speaking and kicked Feng Xiaotian's stomach fiercely. Feng Xiaotian was short and small, how could he withstand Li Xiaohu's kick? He was kicked to the ground in an instant, rolling and tumbling far away, and didn't get up for a long time.

  Li Xiaohu kicked Feng Xiaotian with one foot, seemingly still unsatisfied, and quickly walked up to Feng Xiaotian's front, pinning him down, swinging his fists and fiercely pounding Feng Xiaotian's face while cursing: "You stinky beggar! I'll beat you to death, you stinky beggar!"

  Feng Xiao Tian endured Li Xiao Hu's punches, and in no time at all, he was beaten until his head was bleeding, the classmates were all scared silly, and surprisingly not a single person spoke up. After a few seconds, Wang Qian Qian, who had been holding back for too long, finally shouted loudly: "Li Xiao Hu! Stop it!"

  If it were someone else, Li Xiaohu might not have listened, but he still had to listen to Wang Qianqian's words. So he stopped in his tracks, huffing and puffing, as Wang Qianqian ran up to him, pulled him open, then squatted down and asked with a smile: "Feng Xiaotian classmate, are you okay?"

  Feng Xiao Tian was now curled up on the ground, his nose and mouth full of blood. His eyes were wide open, revealing a stubborn glint within. He didn't respond to Wang Qianqian's words at all.

  After a while, he struggled to get up. Wang Qianqian originally wanted to lend him a hand, but Feng Xiaotian pushed her away and walked towards the classroom. Feng Xiaotian's movements were very slow, his body slightly tilted, and his back looked so lonely and desolate, as if he didn't fit in with this world.

  Wang Qianqian was stunned on the spot after being pushed away by Feng Xiaotian. Li Xiaohu saw how Feng Xiaotian treated Wang Qianqian and couldn't help but want to go up and teach him a lesson, but Wang Qianqian pushed him away instead, loudly shouting: "You shut up! He's our classmate! Is this what you're capable of? Bullying weaker classmates is impressive, huh? And you guys——"

  Wang Qianqian stopped here for a moment, only to see her pointing at the surrounding classmates. Because of her indignation, her small hands were shaking slightly, and her breathing was also somewhat urgent. She panted heavily and said: "Is this how you treat your classmates? Are you happy to bully Feng Xiaotian just for fun? Is this something that can be done between classmates? You really have no sympathy at all! I don't want to associate with you!!"

  Wang Qianqian was really angry, she had received good family education since childhood, and she couldn't understand why her classmates in the same class would be so vicious to Feng Xiaotian. He's an orphan! An orphan who relies on himself for a living! For such a person, these people don't even have a bit of sympathy!

  Wang Qianqian suddenly felt that these classmates who were very enthusiastic about her just now were all hypocritical, and under their pretentious masks, their true nature was actually quite unbearable. Wang Qianqian said as she turned around and chased after Feng Xiaotian without looking back. She thought Feng Xiaotian was actually a very strong person, because he had endured too much suffering, that's why he became silent and taciturn, but none of this was his fault, he shouldn't have been treated like this.

  The classmates were all stunned, and everyone looked a little guilty after hearing Wang Qianqian's question. Just then, the head teacher, Ms. Wang, rushed over. When she saw her students one by one remaining silent, she couldn't help but frown and ask: "Who was fighting just now?"
