Chapter 98 - The Girl’s “Awakening”
Chapter 98 – The Girl’s “Awakening”
“I… I’m not cold! Let go!”
Xing Biqi’s cheeks flushed red as she struggled to break free from Chen Yu’s sleazy hand.
Frowning, Chen Yu questioned, “Didn’t you ask me to solve the problem? Why are you pulling and pushing me?”
“…”
“Forget it. I’ll forget this ever happened. Focus on solving the problem and don’t think about nonsense.” Picking up Xing Biqi’s test paper once more, Chen Yu asked, “Which question is it?”
“I-It’s fine…” Timidly waving her hand, Xing Biqi said, “I-I’ll solve it myself…”
At this time, Zhen Congming, who was watching the scene play out from a side, could no longer continue watching. Angrily slamming his table, he glared at Chen Yu and said, “Do you think you can do whatever you want now that you’re good at studying?”
“That’s right! Chen Yu, you’re going too far!”
“Let go of that girl! Let me… Wait, no, I mean, come at me!”
Seeing that someone had taken the lead to call out Chen Yu, the other male students that remained in class promptly stood up, intending to act out the scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress.
“Hmm…” After pondering, Chen Yu bent over and pulled out his makeshift nail bat from under his table. Gripping the bat with both hands, he then bent the bat.
Crack!
Under the might of Chen Yu strengthened physique, the thick and robust table leg snapped.
Everyone: “…”
Tossing away the broken table leg, Chen Yu looked at Xing Biqi and asked, “Am I bullying you?”
Xing Biqi: “N-No… Uu…”
“You’re still crying?!”
“I-I’m not crying!”
“Mhm.” Patting away the wood chips remaining on his palms, Chen Yu scanned the people in the classroom, his gaze eventually focusing on Zhen Congming. “See, she said no. I’m just showing her the traditional culture of Sixth High’s students supporting each other. What’s the matter? Do you have questions you need help with as well?”
“Oh, I might’ve truly misunderstood, then.” Pushing up his glasses, Zhen Congming said, “Fellow Student Xing Biqi, Student Chen Yu is helping you solve your problem. It would be best if you learned how to appreciate what is good for you. After all, there is still an existing gap in academic performance between you and Student Chen Yu. As a student, you must maintain a humble attitude.”
Xing Biqi: “…”
“That’s right. Brother Chen’s time is precious. You should properly listen to him.”
“You can’t be haughty if you wish to integrate into our class.”
“Yeah. That’s being ungrateful.”
“Yeah, yeah…”
After a few of the “heroes” chimed in on berating Xing Biqi for a while, everyone promptly returned to their seats and returned to swiping their phones, playing cards, or eating snacks. Everyone behaved as if they had never stood up to speak for the girl at all…
Xing Biqi: “…”
“Ahem. Let’s continue with solving the question. Did you understand my explanation on the definition method just now?”
After faking a light cough, Chen Yu placed his hands on his hips and looked at Xing Biqi condescendingly, the meaning in his eyes extremely clear—I am a tyrant!
Returning to her senses, Xing Biqi subconsciously raised her head and looked at the “ill-intentioned” gaze Chen Yu was giving her. Suddenly, a small part of the grievances she felt in her heart gradually transformed into a strange sense of worship…
Clamping her legs and clenching her fists, Xing Biqi nervously lowered her head, her mind in a complete mess.
At this moment, she faintly realized that she had seemingly awakened to something…
