In physical education class, the teacher had us run 800 meters to warm up first.

The class line was arranged from shortest to tallest, with girls in front and boys behind. Lu Chuqing was tall and was placed last among the girls, while Liu Zhang was short among the boys and was placed in the first row of the boys.

Although the two people are not standing one in front of the other, there are four people in a row, so no matter where they stand, the distance between them is close.

Before the race started, the students were chatting in their seats. Qiao Xiangdong shouted at her from the back two rows across the crowd, "Tsk tsk, look at our Qing'er's long legs! She stands out among all the girls!"

Lu Chuqing had a strawberry lollipop that Zhao Jiayan had given her in her mouth and couldn't say anything immediately. Liu Zhang, who was not far away, blurted out, "A woman that tall looks like a tomboy!"

Zhao Jiayan was standing in front of Lu Chuqing when she turned around to chat with the girl. Upon hearing Liu Zhang's words, she immediately exploded, "Yes, yes, according to you, does that mean you're a sissy because you're so short?!"

"Who are you cursing?! Don't think I won't teach you a lesson just because you're a girl!" Liu Zhang craned his neck, pointed at Zhao Jiayan, and roared.

"Whoever gets impatient should take offense!" Zhao Jiayan rolled her eyes. "You're allowed to talk about others, but others aren't allowed to talk about you? How can there be such an annoying person?"

Liu Zhang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He pushed through the crowd and tried to get in front of Zhao Jiayan, but Lu Chuqing reacted quickly. She grabbed the boy's school uniform and pushed him away with both hands.

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up. Don't try to attract attention by being annoying people all the time."

"A boy criticized a girl first, yet he's so petty that he can't stand others talking about him. How can he be so shameless!"

Qiao Xiangdong, sitting in the back row, knew he'd gotten himself into trouble. He ran over, draping a hand over Liu Zhang's shoulder and deliberately pressing down on him. "Hey bro," he said, "this personality of yours won't work. Not only will you annoy girls, but you'll also make yourself friendless. Then you won't even have anyone to talk to..."

Liu Zhang shoved the person away with all his might, his face contorted with rage, and said, "What's it to you! You think everyone's like you, chasing after others like a dog!"

Qiao Xiangdong's kind words of persuasion were met with a retort, and his usually playful smile turned cold. "You..."

The PE teacher came over and yelled at everyone to line up properly. He was so annoyed by Liu Zhang that he rolled his eyes and had no choice but to go to his seat in the back row.

He had promised to outperform Lu Chuqing in the exam, but in the monthly exam, he was two points behind Lu Chuqing and ranked right behind her. Even during morning exercises, he had to follow behind the girl. Liu Zhang was incredibly angry.

In a fit of anger and confusion, he fell behind several steps during the run. Someone behind him, dissatisfied, shouted, "Hey, you in front, hurry up! You're falling behind!"

Liu Zhang was in a bad mood and turned around to yell at someone, but when he saw his timid deskmate standing behind him, he shoved him and yelled, "Shut up, you son of a bitch!"

Originally, there was another boy behind Liu Zhang, but that boy was sick and asked to leave, so his deskmate had to step forward to fill the empty seat, and now he has become the punching bag.

The boy was thin and staggered when he was pushed. He was then jostled from behind and twisted his ankle, ending up kneeling outside the line on the track.

The PE teacher had no idea what had happened, only that the students in the line were making a fuss, and then someone had fallen behind. Without asking any questions, he yelled, "What's that boy doing? Get back in line!"

The boy, head down, limped along behind the class line, enduring the pain in his feet.

After the morning exercises, the physical education teacher let the students freely take the equipment and play around.

Qu Fusang, being the smallest, was the most exhausted. She pulled Lu Chuqing and Zhao Jiayan to find a place to rest, while the others did some activities or took a break.

A few boys took several badminton rackets and walked past them noisily, stopping in an open space not far away to share rackets with the other boys.

Liu Zhang was also preparing to play badminton and went over to grab a racket, but he was shoved aside.

"These are the ones we're going to play with. If you want to play, go to the equipment room and get them yourself," a boy said.

Seeing this, Liu Zhang retorted, "We're all in the same class, why are you so stingy! If you don't want us to play, then we won't play. Who wants to play with stingy people like you?"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes and walked towards the equipment room next to the playground.

Lu Chuqing and the other two, who were not far away, witnessed the whole thing. Qu Fusang couldn't help but whisper, "Why is he like this? He's not likable at all."

Zhao Jiayan said, "This is truly the first time I've ever met such an annoying guy."

Lu Chuqing sighed, then changed the subject, "Are you rested? Let's see what we can do?"

Looking around, there were quite a few students playing badminton. They wondered if there were any badminton rackets left. Qu Fusang and Zhao Jiayan said, "How about we play table tennis? There are fewer people playing that, so there should be plenty of rackets left."

"Okay, let's go take a look at the equipment room."

After saying that, the three girls walked towards the equipment room. As they approached the door, they heard boys shouting and cursing from inside.

"I'm truly impressed!"

"Look at yourself! Your face is always covered in snot, don't you find it disgusting!"

"You're not a primary school student anymore, and you can't even maintain basic personal hygiene! You smell terrible, it's disgusting!"

I don't even need to look to know it's Liu Zhang, that foul-mouthed bastard.

When Lu Chuqing and her two companions arrived at the door, they immediately saw Liu Zhang holding a badminton racket. He was pointing at a boy standing a little further inside in the aisle with the equipment racks, and he was sarcastically insulting him.

The peak time for getting equipment had passed, and the only two people in the equipment room were Liu and Zhang. Liu was furious and vented his anger on his deskmate, making sarcastic remarks one after another, which became increasingly outrageous.

"Take a piss and look at yourself! You look like a stinking beggar who hasn't bathed in centuries. I really don't know if your parents are dead. How could someone like you exist?!"

Before stumbling upon this incident, Lu Chuqing really didn't want to get involved.

There's a saying, "Every pitiful person has something hateful about them." That boy was a victim of bullying, and he was indeed pitiful. But the fact that someone spoke up for him earlier shows that he himself was too timid and cowardly. Despite suffering so much bullying, he couldn't learn to stand up for himself, which Lu Chuqing found truly hateful, and even felt that he deserved to be bullied.

But why does she hate so much? The truth is, she doesn't want to admit it's because she remembers being bullied in her past life. Back then, no one helped her, not even a single word was spoken to her.

Looking at this boy reminded her of her past self—a cowardly and incompetent person.

But at least back then I had shown some resistance, while this boy was truly and utterly useless.

Being useless is useless, but that's no reason to be cursed to death.

So she grabbed a basketball from the nearest hoop and threw it at Liu Zhang, whose face was ugly.
