In their past life, Yan Lei and Wei Yaxi were secretly together, and no one noticed anything unusual about them.

That time, Yan Lei stood up for Wei Yaxi against Lin Shuer, who was his best friend, and even caused her to bump into a shelf and faint.

Almost everyone knew that the two had a close, sibling-like relationship, and this action immediately made people suspect his relationship with Wei Yaxi.

But after Lin Shuer fainted, Yan Lei was anxious and scared, and because of their slight affection for each other, he carried Lin Shuer all the way to the infirmary.

The age of budding youth is so peculiar; everyone quickly turned their attention to how anxious Yan Lei was as he carried Lin Shuer to the infirmary, his face covered in sweat.

Wei Yaxi thus escaped a "disaster," and Xie Ming's arrival this time spared Lin Shu'er from physical suffering.

However, it exposed the ambiguous relationship between Yan Lei and Wei Yaxi. No matter how well the young couple hid it in private, there were always clues.

Soon, Wei Yaxi was targeted by Yan Lei's admirers from another school.

To protect his beloved's safety, Yan Lei used the same method as in his previous life—shifting the blame to Wei Yaxi by pushing Lin Shu'er forward.

Knowing the whole story, Xie Ming immediately made several phone calls.

Right now, Lin Shu'er sat in the classroom, staring blankly at her notebook, feeling helpless. She didn't know how she had offended those people.

Yesterday after school, she took the bus home as usual. Then, six or seven girls came up and sat down around her, laughing and joking.

After she got off the bus, those people followed her. When she turned a corner where no one was around, they suddenly pulled her to a secluded spot and started beating her. They even took pictures of her.

She was being threatened. Thinking of those photos, Lin Shu'er trembled all over, her lips turning pale.

"Shushu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Her deskmate looked at her with concern.

"It's okay, I'm fine!"

Lin Shuer waved her hand and forced an ugly smile, pretending to be strong.

How could she be alright? Those people said she had to go to the small park in the south of the city today, otherwise those photos would be plastered all over the gate of No. 1 Middle School tomorrow.

She knew that small park, but it had been abandoned due to urban development plans, and few people went there anymore.

Lin Shu'er knew very well what would happen if she went. She didn't want to go, she couldn't go, but was it okay?

"Shushu, it's actually okay to take leave."

My classmate pursed his lips and offered a suggestion.

"Don't worry, I just have my period."

Lin Shuer clumsily came up with an excuse, and fearing that her deskmate would continue to ask questions, she quickly took out her homework and said she needed to do some problems.

His deskmate was suspicious but didn't ask any more questions.

Wei Yaxi, sitting at the table in front of Lin Shuer, felt guilty and shrank back, not daring to turn around and look at her. She knew very well what Lin Shuer had gone through.

Almost! Those things almost happened to her.

Fortunately, Yan Lei reacted quickly and managed to fool Lin Shu'er by putting on a show before those people could target her.

I'm sorry, Lin Shu'er, I didn't mean to!

You're so smart, brave, and kind, you can definitely handle it, unlike me, who's stupid, timid, and knows nothing.

Don't worry, I'll make it up to you even more in the future!

Wei Yaxi clenched her fists and silently made a promise to Lin Shu'er in her heart.

Yan Lei, who was sitting at the last table, also knew what had happened. Looking at the girl he had grown up with, he felt guilty.

There's no other way; no one at this school is more suitable than Lin Shu'er.

If someone else were used, people would definitely be suspicious. Only Lin Shu'er is Xixi's best shield.

I'm sorry, Lin Shu'er, consider this the price you pay for bullying Xixi. Having mentally prepared himself, Yan Lei felt a little more at ease.

Lin Shuer didn't know how she got through the day of classes, as she was called on by the teacher several times.

Daydreaming and spacing out became her daily state, and her Chinese teacher even said that if this continued, her parents would have to be called in.

She felt the whole world was gray and gloomy, the sunlight shining on her was cold, and her breath and heartbeat no longer belonged to her.

After refusing to go home with her classmates, she picked up the last textbook on her desk and hesitated whether to put it in her schoolbag.

Putting it in means she's about to leave the classroom, leave school, and step into the park.

As Lin Shu'er hesitated, she realized she was already standing outside the school gate, and tears began to flow involuntarily.

Her usually cheerful steps became stiff and numb, but she still mechanically walked step by step into the small park.

When she reached the depths of the small park, she saw seven girls chewing gum and walking towards her with smiles on their faces.

Lin Shu'er felt beads of sweat spreading finely all over her body, starting from under her nose.

Just as the girl in front rushed over to slap her, she saw the girl in front of her stop, take a few steps back, and swallow.

Lin Shuer numbly turned her head and saw her teacher, Mr. Xie, along with his parents, her classmates, and many strangers gathering from all directions.

"Wow! It's lively! All seven Iron Fairies from School B are here?"

Xie Ming chewed gum with a roguish look on his face, looking at the seven people in front of him with a mocking expression.

"Who are you people?" the girl asked Xie Ming warily.

"Us? Let me introduce myself. I'm her homeroom teacher, these two are her parents, those are her siblings, and the rest are our reinforcements. You guys are having a one-on-one fight today? Seven against 100, we accept! What about you!"

Xie Ming put his hands in his pockets and smiled, waiting for the girl in front of him to answer.

"You dare? We're minors!" The girl opposite was clearly fearless and even yelled at Xie Ming.

Xie Ming clapped his hands, and at least 30 people in the crowd shouted, "We are minors too!"

Looking at the familiar faces, Lin Shu'er could no longer hold back her tears.

Lin's mother took two steps over, hugged the person, and gently patted her back, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."

Xie Ming didn't let Lin Shu'er rest for a moment before pulling her out of her mother's arms and saying, "Go! Whatever she did to you, go and get her back!"

A hint of fear flickered in Lin Shu'er's eyes, and a conflicted expression appeared on her mother's face.

Lin's father also stepped forward and said, "Go, Dad will stand here and watch over you!"

"Go Lin Shuer!"

"Go Lin Shuer!"

...

The people behind them started shouting.

Lin Shu'er clenched her fists, threw down her schoolbag, rushed over, and started hitting the girl. People nearby wanted to help, but were stopped by the people Xie Ming brought.

"Hand over your phone."

Xie Ming stepped forward and coldly looked at the group of girls, who then hesitantly took out their phones from their pockets.

Everyone around assumed Xie Ming was preventing the group from filming, but only Lin's parents, who knew the truth, looked at Xie Ming with gratitude.

When someone is on the verge of despair, their fighting power is definitely boosted. Even though Lin Shu'er herself was injured, the person on the ground was quickly beaten until their face was swollen and red.

Despite this, Lin Shu'er relentlessly pressed down on the girl and continued her assault.

"I admit defeat, I surrender, I was wrong..."

The girl kept repeating what she was saying.

Lin Shu'er continued hitting for a while before staggering to her feet and kicking the girl a few more times.
