Chapter 27: Young and Arrogant

  Among a dozen or so boys, the leader was Chen Chong, a second-year high school student and a member of Wang Haoran's clique, who had made a name for himself in several fights.

  Behind him were Yue Zijiang and Gao Fan, among others. Yue Zijiang was clearly called over to put on a show, occasionally glancing towards Tang Yu in the classroom.

  Everyone in Class Five looked at them with a mixture of awe and reverence, and they couldn't help but feel a little smug. Then, looking over at Su Can in the corner, he thought that his current appearance must be in stark contrast to Su Can's dull demeanor.

  Gao Fan smiled at Chen Lingxuan, feeling pleased with himself. He then looked at Su Can with a sorrowful expression, thinking that now they should understand the gap between them. These people were able to turn the tide in high school, and could play a role in such situations. In comparison, Su Can seemed even more useless.

  Li Ai stepped forward to mediate, "We also know what happened today, everyone can see that it was just a misunderstanding..." Li Ai's heart was racing too, but with Zhang Xi's backing, he had some confidence. After all, the high school students in front of him hadn't hesitated to rush into other classrooms and beat people up before.

  Chen Chong snorted, but Wang Haoran's cousin was not satisfied. "Who are you? Who knows you? This matter is not over yet, my neck still hurts until now. You'd better let him come out himself, don't make us go in and drag him out!"

  "We all know each other, can't we be a bit more considerate?" Finally spoke up Zhang Xi, the one with the most say in Class 5.

  Wang Haoran's younger cousin, Zheng Zhi Chao, obviously knew Zhang Xi, but felt that his own older cousin was not inferior to the new star in front of him in terms of reputation at school. He snorted, "Negotiate? How can we negotiate? My neck injury is already forgotten? Let him come out and give me an explanation, then we'll talk about negotiating!"

  If the other party openly does something to Maoshixiao at the back door of Class 5, I'm afraid Zhang Xi's reputation will be ruined in this circle.

  Zhang Xi's face changed slightly, Chen Chong thought for a moment, and stopped Zheng Zhi-chao, who was still ready to shout, from speaking. He smiled at Zhang Xi, "Alright, since you're speaking up for him, I'll go back and tell Wang Hao-ran about it. We won't take care of this matter in front of your classroom door today. But you have to let that kid wait by the main gate after school on his own initiative. You guys don't need to get involved in this matter!"

  Li Ai and Sun Zi Yi, two of Zhang Xi's loyal followers, had complex expressions on their faces. However, seeing Zhang Xi remain silent, they also knew that the other side had brought out Wang Hao Ran's name, so it was pointless to say anything more. Zhang Xi could only control things up to this point.

  Chen Chong led Zheng Zhi-chao back with a face full of discontent, "Disperse!"

  Yue Zijiang stayed behind and said a couple of words to Tang Yu, roughly that there might be something this afternoon, so he couldn't make an appointment with her. This made some girls around Tang Yu frown, as if even if Yue Zijiang had nothing to do in the afternoon, they still wouldn't be able to make an appointment with Tang Yu. Recently, Tang Yu and Su Can have been getting along very closely, but he didn't know whether it was true or just a pretence of not knowing.

  Gao Fan and Chen Lingshan seemed a bit familiar, the two chatted and laughed about something, Chen Lingshan raised some questions on this matter, "Can you persuade them? Fighting is not good."

  Chen Lingshan was actually helping her good friend Li Luomei, who liked Mao Xiaoshi. Now that Mao Xiaoshi is in trouble, she's worried sick and also has some feelings for him. Seeing Gao Fan speaking up earlier among the crowd, she couldn't help but speak out too.

  Gao Fan's face was filled with pride and complacency, speaking slowly and deliberately, "This matter is not easy to handle, you know. He went and slapped the neck of Wang Haoran's younger cousin, isn't that just asking for trouble? However, Ling Xuan, since you've said so, Chen Chong and Wang Haoran are all brothers on that side, I'll try to mediate for them too. I also think it's not suitable for such a conflict to arise."

  "Then thank you." Chen Lingxuan was actually proud in her heart and didn't want to ask for Gao Fan's help. She always liked to use a haughty attitude to face Gao Fan, such a handsome pursuer. However, now she had gritted her teeth in her heart. Li Luomei had put down her noble demeanor this time for your sake, you still don't show gratitude towards me?

  "Hey, how have you been lately? That pursuer of yours, isn't his name Su Can? Is he still chasing after you? Has he made any romantic gestures like giving flowers or writing love letters? Are you the one he dreams about every day?" Gao Fan asked.

  "What are you talking about!" Before Chen Lingshan could punch herself, Gao Fan laughed and escaped, already having a bottom line in his heart, that Su Can was indeed a thorough loser.

  It wasn't until Gao Fan disappeared from view that Chen Ling Shan returned to calmness. She thought of what Gao Fan had said and her face turned red. As she walked back to the classroom, she glanced in Su Can's direction. He was still lowering his head, doing a math problem, as if the storm that had just occurred had nothing to do with him at all.

  Seeing a group of high school students also having small city walls and mutually looking at each other's status, Su Can couldn't help but think that this is what it means to be young and arrogant.

  However, he never thought that the event he least wanted to encounter would still happen next.

  It also proves that sentence, life has always been dramatic and developing vigorously.

  ···

  Pffft! Mao was suddenly kicked in the waist by someone who had arrived earlier, and his tall body bent down instantly. More fists and feet came flying in, and he finally collapsed to the ground, providing a convenient path for the people around him. Then smoke and dust rose up, footprints appeared on his face and body, his nostrils probably took a punch, a dull, fishy smell spread out, and fresh blood flowed out.

  With both hands on the ground, the people around him stopped attacking. Wang Hao Ran looked around proudly. This was one of the empty spaces outside the school. In the distance, several girls were standing with their mouths covered. Earlier, they had seen Ma Xiao Shi chatting happily with two friends by his side, but suddenly he started fighting. They wanted to stop him, but were too scared to speak up. Some of them had already cried at the scene.

  Zheng Zhi-chao was very pleased with himself, although he was only in his first year of junior high school. However, since his older cousin was also at the school, he even dared to bully students from senior high school. This kind of pride and sense of superiority was irreplaceable.

  "How dare you! Do you still think you're the best just because you're in high school? Does he know who I am?" Zheng Zhi-chao kicked out with one foot, and Mao Shi, who was supporting himself with his hands, was kicked to the side and fell to the ground again, causing a circle of people around them to shout excitedly.

  Maohai used to wear a Mets Bowen hoodie, the fluffy feeling made him look even more majestic and sunny. However, now he doesn't have any of that feeling, his body is covered in big and small footprints from being kicked by people, his tall body shrunk down on the ground, protecting his head.

  Li Lumei covered her mouth, this girl who usually gave people a strong impression was crying very hard at this moment. Chen Lingxuan was stopped by Gao Fan grabbing her wrist, "Lingxuan, what are you doing? Don't go over there, it won't solve anything!"

  Chen Lingshan's heart was racing extremely fast, but seeing her best friend Li Luomei in this state, she couldn't bear it either. With Gao Fan tightly grasping her arm, she was also getting anxious, even if she went forward, could she persuade Wang Haoran and his gang?
