Chapter 44

Teacher Sun held the report card for this term exam, then looked at Fu Le's indifferent face. He was so angry that he wanted to grab her ear, but after looking at the report card, he held back.

"Fu Le, Fu Le, how many times has this happened? Huh? This semester, you've really made me the star among our teachers. In the whole grade, the best thing about our class isn't grades, it's you, number one in fighting!! What's up with your height?"

Fu Le: ...This was a bit of a surprise.

"It's long, of course. Do you think I'd let someone roll it out long with a rolling pin?"

Teacher Sun: ...

"Pfft..." Someone couldn't hold it in.

"Xia Yi, shut the hell up!! Don't think I don't know, you've been stirring up trouble in the class. Don't think I can't deal with you. Let me tell you, I've already called your dad, and he's sent someone to pick you up. Go home and rest. Don't come to school unless necessary. You won't understand anything here anyway. Tang Bing! Li Ming! Jiang Hongwei! You guys are the black sheep of the class. Don't think you're so great just because your families are powerful. You're always making a mess in the classroom. When you came in, your parents assured me that you wouldn't cause trouble or interfere with other students' studies. What happened today? I asked around, and Fu Le was sitting there studying peacefully. You guys were being sarcastic and mocking him? Huh?"

When Xia Yi heard that his own father had sent people over, he was so frightened that he shrank back like a quail. Tang Bing, on the other hand, just lowered his head and didn't say anything. He knew he was in the wrong, but he was still angry that Fu Le didn't give him face.

As for the other two, they said, "Teacher, I didn't do anything."

"You didn't do it, so who are you making a fuss over there? Li Mingzai, Jiang Hongwei, you two write a self-criticism. If you don't do it well, you're both out of class! Tang Bing, I've already notified your mother. Just you wait. Fu Le, you need to change your bad temper. Considering you got into the top ten this time, I won't make you write a self-criticism. Go back to class!"

"Yes, thank you, teacher." Fu Le said thank you and left.

She was very satisfied with Mr. Sun's handling of the situation; he was a truly caring teacher who treated every student the same way.

Evening self-study session ended.

As Fu Le pushed his bike out of the school gate, he unsurprisingly saw three thugs and Old Fu, who was there to pick someone up.

"Dad? What brings you here?" Fu Le was surprised. She had been planning to break the legs of those three thugs tonight.

"I'm worried." Old Fu stubbed out his cigarette. "Hurry back, your mother has heated up the food."

On this day, Fu Le's heart was warmed. It was so good to start over. His parents were still there, as were his uncle and his good teacher.

In the dim corner, the three smelly rats were depressed again. "Brother Bird, that woman ran away again. Wow, her dad is really tall, maybe 180cm? He's almost a head taller than that girl. The whole family is so tall."

"He looks fierce, like a veteran."

"I have to say, even riding a motorcycle is like going to a meeting, all straight and straight."

"Should we teach this person a lesson? I have a feeling that this woman's family must be well-off."

"No way you'll teach me a lesson? So I just got beaten up for nothing? If you two chicken out, just say so. I'll go find the big shots up there, and I'll be living the high life while you two won't get a damn thing!"

"No, Bird Bro, I was wrong, okay? It's just a girl, I'll take care of it."

"I'm fine with it too, Bird Bro."

"Hmph... We'll continue tomorrow..."

A dark and windy night is the perfect time for crime—or rather, for causing trouble.

This is a small courtyard, which consists of two bungalows. A young hoodlum with blond hair is kneeling upright under a crooked pomelo tree, facing the middle of the courtyard, with his head hanging down, looking as if he has lost his parents.

With the house door wide open, the dim yellow light from inside the house shone into the middle of the yard, making the yard seem less dark.

The tall man sat on a stool with a backrest and said to the kneeling thug, "Get the hell over here."

The thug shuddered, not even raising his head, and crawled out of the shade of the trees, getting much closer to the man.

Suddenly, the man stood up and kicked him. The thug yelled and curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach, his bruised face contorted into a bun.

"Speak, who told you to steal Fu Le's car?" The tall, thin man walked up to the thug, stepped on the thug's right knee, and looked down at him.

"Nobody was there, I just picked one randomly," the thug muttered.

The man raised his foot again, and his heavy combat boot slammed into the thug's knee. The thug howled again, begging loudly for mercy, "Big brother, I was wrong, I won't do it again, please let me go, I really just stole it randomly, it wasn't directed at anyone."

This time, the man placed his foot on the thug's stomach. "There are so many new cars, and some that aren't even locked, yet you choose to steal the one with the big iron chain. You're quite the picky one, aren't you? I'll give you one last chance. If you don't talk, your legs will be ruined." The man's sinister voice sent chills down everyone's spine in the darkness. No one dared to doubt the truthfulness of his words at this moment.

After saying that, the man lowered his foot. The thug realized that the man was really going to kill him, so he quickly got up, knelt down at the man's feet, and hugged the man's legs. "No, brother, no, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

...

"What are you doing here?" Fu Le was on duty today and came out to throw away the trash. Unexpectedly, he saw Lu Shi sitting on the wall next to the trash can.

"Don't you have a female classmate named Xiang Haixia?" Lu Shi asked.

Fu Le was taken aback. "How did you know?"

“That blond guy is called Wang Jiaze. He was sent by Xiang Haixia’s cousin from vocational high school. Xiang Haixia pointed out your car to him.”

Fu Le: !!!

Did she dig up Xiang Haixia's ancestral grave in her past life? She's trying to mess with her in both lifetimes.

Her vocational high school cousin caused her a lot of trouble in her past life, and she's back in this one.

Gannan Vocational High School.

Vocational high school lets out at six o'clock, with no evening self-study. This time is the same as the dinner time at No. 2 Middle School. Fu Le stood at the school gate and for the first time clearly felt the feeling of being tall among the crowd, looking down on everyone. It was very fitting at this moment.

Before long, I spotted Chen Hui in the crowd. Her face still had a bit of baby fat, and her thick arms were wrapped around the arms of a skinny, blond-haired boy. She was sweetly acting coquettish, looking like a little bird clinging to someone. If you ignored her fleshy face, she was actually quite presentable.

Fu Le followed the two until they reached the Taobao Street opposite, then he quickened his pace and caught up.

“…Baby, where are we going for drinks later? What am I doing? Are you looking for trouble… Fu Le?!” Chen Hui was being affectionate with her boyfriend when suddenly the light dimmed. She looked up impatiently, only to see a very unexpected person.

Isn't this the female classmate her sister mentioned who looked at her photo and said she wasn't very good-looking? How did she know she was studying here?

"Do we know each other?" Fu Le stared down into Chen Hui's eyes. She suddenly liked this angle of gaze; it felt great.

"I don't know you, what the hell do you want from me?" Chen Hui said unhappily, letting go of her arm that was holding her boyfriend and pushing him towards Fu Le.
