Lu Chuqing looked up at him, pleading, "Friend! Please let me go, I need to study hard, you're driving me crazy sitting next to you."

She didn't realize that from the moment she walked to that spot, the gazes of the other students in the class had changed from curious onlookers to sympathetic onlookers.

As a friend, Nangong Yu couldn't bear to see Lu Chuqing get into trouble for him, so he grabbed her half-empty backpack and said seriously, "Don't sit here, this seat..."

Halfway through the conversation, the back door, which had been closed, was suddenly slammed open from the outside with tremendous force, the door slamming against the wall with a loud "bang".

Lu Chuqing, who is easily startled, was so startled by the noise that her heart skipped a beat and her body trembled. Several girls in the class were so frightened that they screamed.

All eyes were drawn to the back door, where a tall boy wearing a black three-striped short-sleeved shirt and matching sweatpants walked in.

Lu Chuqing naturally looked over as well.

The boy who came in was quite tall, with dyed blond hair, flashy earrings, and a sports Bluetooth headset around his neck.

With his left hand in his pocket and his right hand holding a can of cola, he walked and chugged it down, his swagger captivating the young girls.

Only Lu Chuqing, looking at the high-top sneakers on the boy's feet, couldn't help but think—

On a day like this, wearing these shoes! You can smell how smelly those feet must be.

Then she saw that the shoes had tripped over a broom head that was lying on the ground.

The boy staggered, and the cola in his hand flew out instantly, hitting the ground with a loud thud, splashing cola all over the ground.

"..."

The air seemed to have fallen silent.

Lu Chuqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, her shoulders twitching.

Then Nangong Yu burst into laughter, and the others in the class wanted to laugh too, but they weren't as unrestrained as the two of them, and could only control themselves from laughing out loud.

"Grass..."

The boy cursed, got up from the ground, glared at Lu Chuqing, and yelled fiercely, "What the hell are you laughing at!"

Nangong Yu looked at him too, "I was just laughing at you! You don't watch where you're going, serves you right for tripping! Hahaha..."

Lu Chuqing felt that it was already incredibly embarrassing for this person to be tripped in front of so many people, and it was also very immoral for her not to be able to hold back her laughter, so she controlled her expression after the boy finished yelling.

This, in the eyes of the boy, meant that he was afraid of him.

Knowing she wouldn't dare mess with him, the boy kicked away the cola that had fallen to the ground and strode over to her.

Upon realizing the girl was sitting in the seat he had taken, his already somewhat imposing face grew even fiercer. "Who told you to sit in my seat?!"

Lu Chuqing looked at Nangong Yu, whose face still held a smile, and asked, "Has the teacher arranged the seating?"

The latter looked at the boy defiantly and said, "No, sit anywhere."

Lu Chuqing understood and remained seated. "The teacher didn't assign seats; everyone just chose their own. You didn't write your name on the board, so why do you say it's your seat?"

However, the boy pushed Nangong Yu aside, shoved his right foot against the edge of the table next to him, and pointed his index finger at Lu Chuqing's face, yelling, "Are you blind?! My things are in the drawer, and you still dare to take my seat!"

"Since you're a woman, you'd better get lost and not force me to lay a hand on a woman—"

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of the slap was deafening, and the boy, whose head was tilted to one side, looked completely bewildered.

Nangong Yu's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the girl who had gotten up at some point.

The class fell silent again. Lu Chuqing calmly shook her hand as she watched the stunned boy being hit.

"Who do you think you are, daring to call yourself 'master' here?"

"Also, didn't your mother teach you not to point at someone's face when you talk?"

Nangong Yu's mouth was so big it looked like an egg, and he silently gave Lu Chuqing a thumbs up.

Just then, a girl walked in through the front door and overheard Lu Chuqing's last words. Judging from the situation of the two of them, it was easy to guess what had happened.

"I f***ing..." the boy cursed.

The girl had two braids, wore black-rimmed glasses, and wasn't very tall. She jogged over and grabbed the boy's shirt, pulling him away.

He said in a low voice, "You promised me you wouldn't swear."

Upon seeing the girl, the boy forced himself to swallow his profanities, but his expression remained violent.

Afraid that he would cause more trouble, the girl quickly apologized to Lu Chuqing, "I'm sorry, classmate, I've caused you trouble, I'm so sorry."

Without waiting for Lu Chuqing's response, she grabbed the boy and hurriedly left through the back door.

The boy suppressed his temper as the girl led him away, but before leaving, he turned back and glared fiercely at Lu Chuqing.

His eyes seemed to say, "You just wait, I'll remember you."

Lu Chuqing was also quite annoyed and asked Nangong Yu, "Is anyone sitting here?"

Nangong Yu nodded.

"Then why didn't you just say there were seats available? You've been rambling on and haven't mentioned anything about being on time."

Lu Chuqing pulled out her schoolbag and left her seat, walking towards the first empty seat in the same row.

Nangong Yu followed behind, flattering her, "I was interrupted halfway through my sentence! But Xiao Qingzi, that slap you gave me just now was really cool!"

Lu Chuqing ignored him and didn't even turn her head. "Aren't you going to sit in your seat? Class is about to start, okay?"

Just then, the preparatory bell rang, so Nangong Yu had no choice but to turn back to his seat halfway. "We met unexpectedly, and there wasn't enough time to catch up properly. I'll find you after class to chat with my friend."

The boy crossed his arms and declared confidently, "I'll take my leave now, and hope we meet again someday!"

Lu Chuqing, “…” What exactly is wrong with him?

The preparatory bell is just a reminder that class is about to start; there are only five minutes left before the official class bell rings.

Lu Chuqing wiped the table inside and out, and her displeasure dissipated considerably.

No wonder that table was so clean; someone must have been occupying it for ages.

I imagine the paper she threw away back then probably had something written on it saying that the seat was occupied.

But you can't entirely blame her. Why didn't that person leave a backpack or anything? They just left a piece of paper with non-human writing on it, and the pen was missing its cap and broken. It's hard not to think it's trash left over from the previous year.

Besides, that guy really deserved a beating.

He was utterly deserving of a beating, and he even pointed at her from above. It was only right that he deserved to be slapped.

After wiping the table, the girl with braided hair and the boy with blond hair rushed in through the back door before the school bell rang.

Lu Linqi brought her breakfast in the morning. She emptied the disposable bag containing the breakfast to put trash in. A girl behind her saw this and asked her if she could throw it away.

Lu Chuqing turned and handed the bag to her, just as she and the blond-haired man were locked in a death stare.

The latter grinned, revealing an expression that he thought would scare her.

Lu Chuqing didn't even bother to roll her eyes and simply ignored her.
