Chapter 5: Classmate Got Beaten Up

  Shui Mengyao looked at the classmate next to her who had been beaten, and a wave of anger arose in her heart. Her classmate's nose was blue and swollen, crying with a sad face, shaking all over, it was clear that he had just experienced a severe beating. And the reason for his being beaten was simple, still because of herself, because of her outstanding appearance, she was harassed by two thugs today, and this classmate stood up for her, the outcome can be imagined.

  Students who have been studying for many years are no match for those little rascals. He naturally suffered a severe beating. Moreover, the other side made a statement that they would teach him a lesson after school. What kind of people these little rascals in society are, these students know very well. It's useless to tell the teacher about this matter, and it's even more useless to report to the police.

  That boy who only knew how to read the books of saints would have probably run back home if he didn't want to maintain some dignity as a man. But now he regretted even more, and with time approaching, after school, he would definitely be beaten again. What to do? He racked his brains but couldn't think of a solution. There were several classmates who played with him, but when he mentioned this matter, none of them were willing to stand up for him.

  Shui Mengyao was also anxious for him, and when Guo Ming arrived, her eyes lit up, and she hurried to his side, saying urgently: "Guo Ming, I have something to ask for your help."

  Guo Ming rolled up the scroll, pulled over a stool beside him and pointed at it saying: "Sit down and talk."

  Shui Mengyao was taken aback, what's going on? Guo Ming seemed to have changed a bit, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. Now she was anxious and didn't even bother sitting down, saying directly: "Tang Feng was beaten up, and someone is going to beat him up again tonight, you have to help him."

  Guo Ming smiled slightly, twirling his pen with the tip of his finger, and said: "Tang Feng? But isn't he the one who's mocked me the most?"

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo was speechless for a moment, then quickly said: "But he was beaten up because of helping me, so even if it's for my sake, just help this once! I know you might know those people."

  As he watched Shui Mengyao's eyes well up with anxious tears, Guo Ming's heart inexplicably stirred. Shui Mengyao seemed to be a man's dream come true, and it was almost impossible for anyone to resist her gentle assault. Guo Ming was no exception, and upon hearing this, he stood up, drew closer to Shui Mengyao, and said in a low voice, "I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing."

  "You said that as long as I can do it, you will definitely agree." Shui Mengyao saw Guo Ming's tone relax and his intention move, and hastily said.

  Guo Ming looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him and subconsciously said: "Be my girlfriend."

  "Ah! Water Dream Jade let out a loud cry, her face immediately filled with a blush of shyness, and she turned to leave. She was really too angry in her heart, she had not expected that Guo Ming would actually make such a request, she had always thought that although Guo Ming was a bit of a rascal, he was always proper and respectful towards herself, never expecting him to publicly confess his feelings to her."

  Actually, every girl has a Prince Charming in her heart, and Shui Mengyao is no exception. However, Guo Ming doesn't meet this requirement at all. Someone else has already occupied a place in her heart - Zhang Zihan from the remedial class, the renowned genius of the whole school.

  Zhang Zihan is a golden signboard of their school. Not only is he handsome and elegant, but his grades are also exceptionally good. In the school, only Shui Mengyao and Chen Ziyu from the experimental class can rival him. However, Shui Mengyao has never surpassed Zhang Zihan once. She had secretly looked at Zhang Zihan once and was immediately attracted to his noble temperament, but her good family education did not allow her to have a early romance.

  A hint of disappointment appeared on Guo Ming's face, but he quickly covered it up, shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly. Ah! The other party was a proud daughter of heaven, while he was who? Just a little rascal in her eyes, how could he possibly become her boyfriend? This was simply like a fool talking nonsense. What happened earlier was just a momentary impulse.

  Guo Ming's first confession in his life ended in such an abrupt manner. As time went back, neither of them knew that if Shui Mengyao had accepted Guo Ming's confession at that time, their life trajectory would have changed in what way?

  Maybe it was Tang Feng's bad luck that the head teacher had something urgent and temporarily let the class monitor issue the exam certificates.

  Guo Ming received the exam certificate and immediately started reading the papers. Most of his classmates left after receiving their certificates.

  Tang Feng's heart was racing even more, half an hour had passed since school let out and the whole class was left with only seven or eight people. Among them was Shui Mengyao who couldn't sit still.

  Finally, Shui Muyao seemed to have made some kind of decision and directly came to Guo Ming's side, saying seriously: "Guo Ming, are you going to help me or not?"

  Guo Ming looked at Shui Mengyao, whose face was covered with frost, and knew that if he didn't agree today, it's likely they wouldn't even be able to remain friends in the future. He hastily stood up and chuckled: "How could I dare not listen to your words? How could I refuse?"

  Shui Meng Yao secretly let out a sigh of relief, she had already decided that if Guo Ming didn't agree, she would agree to be his girlfriend. It's just that this little brat Guo Ming agreed so quickly, it was just right, anyway, even if she agreed to be his girlfriend, it was only a temporary measure. Hmph, if he wanted to take advantage of her, she would make him pay the price.

  "Then let's go!" Water Dream Jade smiled, and Guo Ming felt that the earth, which had been frozen for a long time, was suddenly covered with the breath of spring, and everything became beautiful. Guo Ming subconsciously said a sentence, "Dream Jade, it would be great if you could smile at me every day in the future!" After finishing speaking, Guo Ming immediately realized that his words were somewhat ambiguous, and he hastily explained: "I didn't mean anything else, I just think your smile looks good."

  "As long as you listen, I'll satisfy your little request." Shui Mengyao was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.

  "You think I'm a fool!" Guo Ming immediately reacted, despite his face being bright red, he still said loudly.

  "Really? Don't I look pretty in your eyes?" Shui Mengyao's eyes sparkled with a faint smile, and two small dimples appeared on her pink cheeks, adding to her enchanting charm.

  Guo Ming felt a surge of hot blood, followed by a loud crash in his forehead, and a stream of hot liquid flowed out from his nose. He immediately realized what had happened, hurriedly covered his nose with his hand, but still, a lot of fresh blood flowed out from between his fingers.

  The classmates in the class were thoroughly stunned, is this the eternal and unchanging holy beauty of the class? Today her behavior was clearly **. Who can resist such temptation? Guo Ming covered his nose and ran out. How embarrassing! Guo Ming wanted to cry but had no tears, he used to think it was funny when people would get a nosebleed from running into beautiful women, but today he actually experienced it himself. Originally this matter was quite fortunate, but looking at the blood rushing out, Guo Ming's face changed, geez, how many buns would it take to make up for this?!

  Here is the translation:

  He arrived at the edge of the pool, Guo Ming rinsed his nose and suddenly panicked - this was blood! It wasn't just cool water, why did it keep flowing more and more?! Guo Ming got scared and hastily lay down on a chair by the road, letting the fresh blood flow back. A few minutes later, Guo Ming touched his nose, feeling the faint scar, shaking his head with a bitter smile. What was going on today? The other person had just smiled and captivated him like this - if they were to take off their clothes completely... Guo Ming hastily shivered at the thought, he didn't dare think about it anymore, afraid that he would bleed to death. However, Guo Ming once again recalled Shui Muyao's smiling face from earlier and gradually fell into deep thought.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo waited in the classroom for a few minutes, but didn't see Guō Míng return. She thought to herself: "That guy won't have run away, will he?" Hurriedly running all the way, she arrived at the edge of the pool and soon discovered Guō Míng. Looking at Guō Míng's appearance, she immediately opened her beautiful eyes wide with wonder, her face full of incredulity. All she saw was that Guō Míng had a large amount of saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his face was covered in an extremely silly smile.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo was so angry that she slapped him, even though she knew he wasn't thinking of anything healthy.

  Guo Ming immediately woke up from his daydream, just about to curse loudly, but when he saw who was in front of him, he hastily changed his tone and said: "Meng Yao, how did you get here? Is there something going on?"

  "Wipe off the drool in your mouth." Shui Mengyao said with some disgust.

  "What?" Guo Ming was shocked, only then realizing that the corners of his mouth were wet and had already pulled a long, sparkling arc. He couldn't hold it in anymore. He pushed away Shui Mengyao and frantically ran to the edge of the pool, vigorously washing off the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

  After a moment, Guo Ming slowly walked to Shui Mengyao's side, looked up at her, then hastily lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

  Shui Meng Yao had thought Guo Ming was a bit uncomfortable earlier, but now she couldn't help but find it amusing. Looking at him like a child who had done something wrong, she tapped his head and playfully said: "Next time you dare to think of anything unhealthy, be careful or sister will beat you up."

  Guo Ming smiled wryly and didn't dare to argue back. In fact, he was afraid that the other person would bring up what had just happened and make him lose face completely.

  On the way home from school, Tang Feng said anxiously: "Ming Ge, do you really know those people? They're not just ordinary thugs!" Guo Ming helped him and didn't dare to call him by his name directly, so he called out "Ming Ge" repeatedly. Guo Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he just let him call him that way.

  "I've beaten up all the local hooligans, don't worry, just follow me." Guo Ming said with a smile.

  "En, Tang Feng, don't worry, Guo Ming is very capable." Shui Mengyao said with a soft smile.

  "No, I'm not worried about anything. I just asked casually." Tang Feng said with a straight face. In fact, he had always wanted to pursue Shui Mengyao, but he also sensed her pride and haughtiness, so he studied hard in order to gain her favor one day. As it happened, his grades were quite good, always ranking second in the class, and he was also one of the few friends Shui Mengyao had, limited to academic exchanges only. Despite this, many people were already envious.

  "Haha, didn't expect that! Brother Ming actually intervened in this matter, brothers, what do you think we should do?" A strange and ambiguous voice came over.
