This martial arts school isn't very big. There are two classrooms right inside. Two instructors are teaching.

Xi Xinxin spotted Zhou Zhou immediately. Just as she had expected. There had been some minor contact during the lesson, but not enough to cause a scratch like the one on Zhou Zhou's face.

A man approached and asked, "Hello. Are you also students here to study?"

Xi Xinxin shook her head: "We came to see our friends."

The man's heart stirred slightly as he looked at the two beautiful women before him. Then, noticing their thin arms and legs and how weak they seemed, he gave a cryptic smile: "You two...are you signing up for classes?"

Xi Xinxin refused.

The man remained undeterred: "Well, when you're out and about, having some self-defense skills is always a good thing."

Chu Quanyi raised his head arrogantly, pointing his thumb backward at Xi Xinxin: "Do you know who this is? She's the one who broke the world's invincible barrier!"

The man clearly didn't believe him: "Then why don't you compete with our teacher? If you lose, you can sign up for the course."

Xi Xinxin sighed and said, "I don't want to compete or sign up for classes. I just wanted to visit my friend."

The man found out. At this point, he needed to use the reverse psychology technique his master had taught him: "I'm afraid you're just bragging, aren't you? You're all talk and no action."

Xi Xinxin nodded: "Yes. I was bluffing. I really don't want to sign up for the class. I just wanted to bluff, please let me off the hook. I really don't want to sign up for the class."

Chu Quanyi secretly raised a sign that read "Minus One Point" from somewhere: "Coward, points deducted!"

The man was speechless: "Then you guys wait for your friend."

Xi Xinxin stopped the man: "Do you have any records of when registrations were made?"

The man nodded. He went to the drawer and took out a notebook: "These are the students who recently enrolled." He was still a little unwilling to give up: "If you want to enroll, take advantage of the discount we're offering now."

Next to the latest date, Xi Xinxin quickly found Jiang Zhouzhou's name. She had only been studying for less than a week.

Just then, she received a message. It was from Guan Jing.

"Boss. Jiang Zhouzhou's mother is here. She said she's going to a friend's house for dinner and is taking Zhouzhou with her."

Then came another voice message. Clicking on it, I heard Jiang Zhouzhou's mother's voice.

"Xinxin, I know you two have been on a date lately. I didn't mean to bother you. But you're having dinner at a friend's house today. Please bring Zhouzhou back early."

So, she didn't know Jiang Zhouzhou was at the martial arts school. She thought she had been with her all these days.

Chu Quanyi rolled up his sleeves: "Alright. So bold for such a young age. I'll teach her a lesson."

Chu Quanyi didn't bother to hide it. She directly pulled Xi Xinxin to the classroom door.

Zhou Zhou was still bending over backwards when she suddenly saw a familiar face. Panicked, she twisted her ankle.

"ah!"

The teacher quickly went up and brought her a place to sit and rest.

Zhou Zhou touched her waist guiltily and glanced at the two people in front of her: "Is it a coincidence?"

“No. It was intentional.” Xi Xinxin played her mother’s voice message again for Zhou Zhou to hear: “Tell me. What happened?”

Zhou Zhou was reluctant to talk at first, but she eventually confessed after being coaxed into it. It turned out that Xi Xinxin had visited her during PE class.

Zhou Zhou felt incredibly ashamed. She decided to learn martial arts to improve her health. She had saved up this money for a long time to pay for her martial arts lessons. She hoped it would help her protect Xi Xinxin when she grew up.

Xi Xinxin ruffled her hair vigorously: "Why do you think so much every day? I'm protecting you. It's the same whether you protect me or not. But why is there a bruise on your face?"

Zhou Zhou fell silent again. She glanced at Chu Quanyi.

Chu Quanyi tilted her head and suddenly realized: "Oh. Xinxin, I suddenly really want to drink milk tea. Oh dear. Can you buy me a cup from Zhouzhou? Let's go back together later."

Moving people away was too clumsy. Xi Xinxin shrugged. She decided to go buy them anyway.

"Speak," Chu Quanyi squatted down and looked directly at Zhou Zhou, who was sitting down.

Zhou Zhou pouted: "I ran into some classmates during the holidays. They said they wanted to date Xin Xin. So I got into a fight with them."

After hearing this, Chu Quanyi burst into laughter: "Oh my! This is the real reason I learned martial arts! You're serious! You really like Xi Xinxin. Why?"

"Love at first sight. Haven't I said that before?"

"But you and she are very different in age."

Zhouzhou was a little puzzled: "He's only four years old. My parents are also four years apart. I don't think he's that old."

Chu Quanyi patted her shoulder sympathetically. This child couldn't possibly know Xi Xinxin's actual age, especially considering how many years she'd been in this world.

She thought it was just a child's crush. That's how adolescence is. It won't be long. Zhouzhou will find out. Love at first sight is nothing special.

When the two came out, Xi Xinxin brought them milk tea and said, "Let's go. Talk to your mother about what happened."

"Okay," Zhou Zhou reluctantly agreed. Her mother would definitely limit her allowance.

After seeing Zhou Zhou off, Xi Xinxin secretly asked, "What reason did Zhou Zhou give at the end?"

"Oh, she said she tripped and fell while climbing down the sewer when she came to see you."

Chu Quanyi blurted it out without thinking. But instead of getting a proper response, he curiously glanced towards Xi Xinxin.

It would have been better not to look. What I saw shocked me.

Xi Xinxin clenched her fist with a forced smile: "Come on. I'll put you in the sewer first."

Time flies. Xu Chacha's entire drama has finished airing. Regardless of who reviews it, it receives incredibly high praise. Xi Xinxin herself has watched it over and over again.

Xu Chacha stated that she will hone her acting skills before attempting to perform, aiming to deliver better performances for the audience.

No one wasted their time during this holiday. Yu Shuwen went abroad again quite early. That design award gave her a very good reputation.

The new semester has begun.

It's been a long time since I've seen Mei Qing. Her scars aren't as horrifying anymore. If you don't look closely, you really can't tell she ever had them.

And some people started to get restless again. Yan Liang. His previous pursuit had failed, and he had lost more than he gained. Xi Xinxin thought he had given up long ago.

As soon as school started this year, he saw that Mei Qing had regained her former beauty. He began to make his move again, this time prepared.

I don't know where he got in touch with someone who had previously bullied Mei Qing at school. (Ji Tiantian)

I heard that Ji Tiantian's situation isn't much better now. She was expelled from school, and no school wants her. Even her best friend has distanced herself from her, and she seems completely dejected.

Compared to the beautiful Mei Qing, she really seemed like dust.

But Mei Qing couldn't help trembling. She subconsciously grasped Xi Xinxin's hand.

Yan Liang thought Mei Qing was just agitated. He felt incredibly clever: "Qingqing, I went to great lengths to find her. I want her to come and apologize to you in person!"

After saying that, he kicked Ji Tiantian.

Ji Tiantian staggered forward a few steps, her eyes filled with hatred.

Xi Xinxin couldn't help but frown.

Ji Tiantian lowered her head: "Mei Qing, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have helped the evildoers before."

Mei Qing remained silent. Yan Liang, thinking he had moved her, said, "Qingqing! It's alright. Whether you forgive her or not, I won't let her get away with it."

After saying that, he kicked Ji Tiantian again.

Ji Tiantian lost her balance and fell to the ground. She then helped herself to her feet and began apologizing to Mei Qing again.

Xi Xinxin took Mei Qing's hand: "Let's go."

Not seeing Mei Qing's moved expression, Yan Liang grew anxious: "Hey! Where are you going?"

Having weathered the trials of this holiday, Xi Dai's demeanor had become even more enigmatic. She walked over and glanced at Yan Liang, then looked at Ji Tiantian, who was looking down: "Are you two putting on a show here?"

Ji Tiantian shuddered, her eyes blazing with hatred.

Yan Liang didn't dare to provoke Xi Dai at all. So he called Ji Tiantian over.

Ji Tiantian pinched her palm with her fingers: "You promised. I'll apologize to Mei Qing. You'll go and help my school deal with the bullying."

Yan Liang spat: "Are you funny or not? Who cares about you? Solve it yourself."

Ji Tiantian said in disbelief, "You promised me."

"You deserved it!" Yan Liang's figure receded into the distance. Ji Tiantian finally broke down in tears.

The school of yesteryear has become a nightmare. How did she become like this? If only, if only she hadn't targeted Mei Qing back then.

She doesn't want a good life. And Yan Liang, who lied to her, shouldn't expect a good life either!

After Xi Xinxin returned to the dormitory with Mei Qing, she felt a little better. Xi Dai followed behind, looking at Mei Qing with some concern.

Mei Qing smiled wryly, "Thank you all. I'm alright now."

“It’s no use continuing to pester Yan Liang. I’ll make him drop out of school,” Xi Dai said expressionlessly.

Xi Xinxin felt there was no need to rush: "I think someone will help us deal with Yan Liang. Ji Tiantian has no way to get close to Mei Qing right now. The only person she wants to target is Yan Liang. We can just watch the show."

Sure enough, Yan Liang's fishpond exploded the next day. There were several people hanging inside the school, and others outside. Everyone knew. He's now in dire straits himself.

The reputation of him being a scumbag spread. Ji Tiantian spared no effort, even revealing that Yan Liang had indirectly supported her previous bullying at school.

Xi Dai was manipulating things behind the scenes again. The school was already familiar with this operation. Before the situation had a significant impact, the school directly kicked Yan Liang out.

That day, someone saw Yan Liang fighting with Ji Tiantian outside the school. A school leader passing by even exclaimed, "My goodness! Whose kids are these? How dare they fight in front of our school? This is outrageous! Is competition between schools so blatant these days?!"

Then the security guards simply took the two of them away.

The leadership expressed great satisfaction. The school's reputation was once again saved thanks to his high emotional intelligence!

Xi Xinxin had thought further ahead. To prevent Mei Qing from reacting negatively, she planned to have Mei Qing handle the matter calmly in the future.

I spent the night researching ways to overcome trauma. So much time has passed. The plan should be ready to begin.

Actually, Mei Qing is much better now. But she still needs one thing: a new hobby! Something that can help her shift her focus more quickly.
