The two seemed to be locked in a silent contest.

Gong Yao found it somewhat amusing, especially the way the girl in front of him was staring at him with wide eyes and a fierce look, exactly like the stray dog ​​he had seen at the alley entrance a couple of days ago.

They have no real threat, but they pretend to be very fierce.

Forget it, why bother arguing with a girl?

Just as Gong Yao was thinking this, he saw Lin Zhenzhen slam her hand, which wasn't holding her homework, hard on his already empty desk.

Lin Zhenzhen used all her strength in this move, and even Gong Yao was intimidated by her aura, remaining stunned for several seconds.

"According to school rules, we are not allowed to read books unrelated to learning during class. I will confiscate your book first."

Gong Yao didn't expect her to be serious. He frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to be so serious. I won't listen to the lecture anyway. Reading is better than disturbing the other students, right?"

Lin Zhenzhen ignored him and said succinctly, "You have to attend class and hand in your homework. I'll return the book to you whenever you hand in your homework."

After saying that, she picked up the comic book and left.

The moment she turned around, Lin Zhenzhen couldn't help but clench her toes and scream to the heavens in her heart.

(What kind of school bully and good girl story is this?)

(And what's the point of throwing yourself into this body but not giving her any room to maneuver? Is this some kind of immersive TV drama experience?)

Zhou Rong, who had been silently observing the whole thing, couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!"

He watched Lin Zhenzhen's retreating figure and patted Gong Yao's shoulder, saying, "This girl is pretty tough. She dares to talk back to you even though you look so fierce."

Gong Yao used two fingers to prop up the corners of his mouth, revealing a standard warm and gentle smile. "Open your dog eyes wide, where am I being fierce?"

Zhou Rong looked at his messy hair, which looked like it could be chased from the school gate to the fourth teaching building by the dean of students, and his fake, pretentious smile, and couldn't help but shiver.

"Please stop laughing. You look like a psychopathic killer. I'm scared."

Gong Yao swung his hand around and hit him.

Since the comic books he used to block out the light had been taken away, he simply lay down on the table and slept.

This little girl who appeared out of nowhere shouldn't affect his mood.

-

Lin Zhenzhen put the confiscated copy of "Old Master Q" into the drawer.

"Xiao Zhen, are you alright?" Li Huiran asked as she helped Lin Zhenzhen sort the collected homework. She was relieved to see that Lin Zhenzhen looked fine.

"It's okay." Lin Zhenzhen smiled at her.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Huiran couldn't help but continue what she hadn't finished saying earlier.

"Although Gong Yao is usually carefree and doesn't study hard, he is a very loyal person. Once when I had a cold and fever, he took the initiative to carry me to the school hospital."

“I even threw up on him, but he didn’t say anything. I regretted it as soon as I finished throwing up, afraid that he would abandon me on the ground. But he not only didn’t say anything, he also notified my homeroom teacher.”

"So Xiao Zhen, don't be prejudiced against him."

Lin Zhenzhen looked into Li Huiran's eyes and gently shook her head.

“I have no prejudice against him. I believe he will be a very righteous and good person. But regardless of good or bad, rules must be followed.”

“It’s my duty. Even if it wasn’t Gong Yao, I would have done the same for anyone else.”

Li Huiran was temporarily relieved: "What should we do with this book? I don't think he'll do his homework anyway."

"I'll keep this book for now. As for the homework," Lin Zhenzhen paused, looking at the scribbled drawings on the comic's title page, "we'll talk about it later."

Gong Yao certainly wouldn't do his homework; he'd be busy making money at night and wouldn't even step into his house.

His schoolbag originally only contained his student ID card and comic books, but now the comic books have been taken away by the righteous class monitor, leaving only an empty cloth bag hanging casually on his shoulder.

I originally planned to go straight to the bar where I work after school, but I received a call from the boss before I left, saying that the bar was closed today and that I should take a good rest.

Gong Yao stopped on the street, seriously considering where to find a temporary job later.

Suddenly, I saw that the group owner of a motorcycle group I was in tagged Gong Yao, telling him that he must come to the event tonight.

Gong Yao thought about it for a moment and finally replied with "ok".

He joined the organization by chance.

At the time, Gong Yao was riding his bike along the bridge chasing the sunset. He originally planned to stop when the last ray of light disappeared, but unexpectedly, he met members of the motorcycle club from the neighboring university in the suburbs.

Several people praised Gong Yao's modified second-hand motorcycle and then warmly invited him to join their team.

Gong Yao readily agreed and subsequently participated in several events intermittently.

The auxiliary road along the river was not yet fully paved with asphalt, and the streetlights were scattered. There was also a sign at the entrance of the road that said "Pedestrians stay away." This group of people often practiced driving here.
