Chapter 41
Xiang Wanning and her group successfully entered Grade 11, a class that had been given up on by all teachers because its average score was the lowest in the grade.
The principal didn't want to offend Yu Quezhou, after all, the other party had brought a lot of benefits to his school and donated two buildings; but he also didn't want these actors to disturb the studies of students with good grades and affect their school's admission rate. This arrangement can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Because of their height, they sat in the last row, nine people in groups of two. The one next to her happened to be her childhood sweetheart, Lan Zhi, whose role in the play was cut.
Lan Zhi has a pretty face and a delicate name. She often worries that she will be mistaken for a girl. At this moment, she stares at the pile of new books on the table in amazement and asks, "We are only here for a week. Do we really need so many books?"
No one responded.
After a while, he turned his head in confusion, and saw Xiang Wanning stroking the table and chair "affectionately", like a child who had obtained his favorite toy, as if he wanted to smooth out the bumps on it, and was reluctant to let it go.
This was the same mission world that he had experienced before, with bright classrooms, comfortable desks and chairs, and brand new books...
Xiang Wanning stared at them, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes. It seemed that she could only make up for the life she had not experienced when she was completing the mission.
But for some reason, her past memories, even her true origins, became blurred and buried deep in her memory. She didn't know when she would be able to remember them.
Lan Zhi felt frightened by her gaze, and couldn't help poking the goose bumps on his arms. He asked suspiciously, "Wan Ning, you don't have a fetish, do you?"
"I knew someone before, he also had a fetish." He said this, and then asked worriedly: "...You won't stick out your tongue to lick it, right?"
Xiang Wanning: ...
Stop these weird thoughts of yours right now!
The emotions that were brewing in Xiang Wanning's heart suddenly disappeared. She reached out and grabbed a book, hit him on the head, and said expressionlessly: "Get lost!"
Their arrival obviously attracted the attention of all the students in Class 11. Many girls recognized Lan Zhi from a distance and often stole glances at him. Many girls lowered their heads and wrote love letters, using the most beautiful paper and pens to express their love for Lan Zhi. Then when the other person looked over, she lowered her head shyly.
Lan Zhi asked in confusion: "Why do those girls lower their heads when I look over? I'm not a teacher, and I can't call on them to answer questions."
"They should be your fans." Xiang Wanning joked, "It's normal to feel a little shy when your idol appears in front of you."
Lan Zhi said "Oh", stretched out his elbow to push her, and winked at her: "The group of boys next to you look like your fans."
Xiang Wanning followed his gaze and saw that group of people looked her up and down, then raised the corners of their mouths like hooligans. While laughing and joking with the classmates next to her, she started to fix her hairstyle.
Seeing that she hadn't looked away, they started to make a noise again, showing off their biceps, and occasionally saying childish things like "Look at my strength".
Xiang Wanning: ...
She looked away, feeling uncomfortable with such explicit gazes, and thought: I'd better decline this kind of fan politely.
The students in Class 11 hate studying, and even when the bell rings, the classroom is still noisy. The classmate sitting in front of Xiang Wanning turned around to look at them, clenched his fingers, and greeted them hesitantly: "Hello."
Xiang Wanning seemed a little surprised that this seemingly quiet and introverted girl would be the first to greet them, so she nodded and smiled, "Hello."
"My name is He Qiuling." The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she didn't expect Xiang Wanning to greet her. She was so excited that she danced with joy and happily introduced herself to her.
Just when Xiang Wanning wanted to say something else, a male voice suddenly came from the side.
"Hey, big star, ignore that person!" the person said, seeming a little dissatisfied with He Qiuling's action of greeting her first.
He said to Wan Ning, "This person just likes to steal things. Her family is poor and smelly. You'd better be careful not to let her steal your necklace!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole class burst into laughter. Whistles and laughter echoed in the classroom, but the teacher standing on the podium seemed to have anticipated this situation. He just glanced at them and ignored them, continuing to explain his own questions.
Even the other girls echoed this. A girl near He Qiuling stretched out her manicure and twisted her arm fiercely, but her tone was still smiling: "Look at her thick skin, I wonder if she sold the stolen things to make herself so fat!"
He Qiuling was so angry at her impolite words that her face turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she retorted anxiously: "I didn't!"
"Then why did the class beauty's Swarovski crystal necklace disappear? Why did it appear in your bag? You must have stolen it, and you still refuse to admit it!"
"It's not me." He Qiuling was powerless to refute, even though few people listened to her explanation: "I don't know how he got into my schoolbag..."
"Tsk, you're just jealous, the class beauty is prettier than you~"
Xiang Wanning followed their line of sight and saw the class beauty sitting in the first row looking back slightly. She blinked her almond-shaped eyes and said to them shyly, "Don't talk about me like that. I'll be embarrassed."
Xiang Wanning: ...
Something is wrong. The whole class feels weird.
She and Lan Zhi looked at each other involuntarily, then sighed and thought: Are they being bullied at school?
Since they had seen what had happened, there was certainly no reason to ignore it, but they had differences of opinion on how to deal with it.
"Do you want to give us feedback?" Lan Zhi frowned. "Letting the principal take care of it will be more effective than us saying it, right? After all, we're only here for a week."
Xiang Wanning disagreed with him, because she sincerely expressed that she had experienced this kind of thing and understood that when facing school bullying, only fists can scare the bully, and only resistance can make the bully panic.
So her advice is: "Don't be fooled by his aggressive behavior, he can just be put in a sack and beaten."
Lan Zhi: ...
You are here to experience life, not to make enemies, right?
He felt that Xiang Wanning's suggestion was not a good idea, so he frowned and observed, preparing to go to the principal's office after class.
Seeing the group of boys talking about He Qiuling while glancing at Xiang Wanning from the corner of their eyes, as if they wanted to get her praise or treat them differently, I could faintly hear the boys whispering, "Xiang Wanning is such an annoying person, she must feel like she's familiar with us right away, right?"
Xiang Wanning: ...
Divine gold.
Who wants to hit it off with you guys right away?
The vicious villain character she played also suffered the consequences of "no success in doing bad things" and "evil will be punished with evil"! Xiang Wanning recalled that in the few memories she could remember clearly, there was always a group of people like this who, relying on their young age, acted arrogantly and did whatever they wanted on campus.
"Shut up!" Xiang Wanning suddenly groaned and frowned impatiently: "Be quiet!"
Her words were very shocking because students in Class 11 never studied but mostly watched TV and variety shows. When they learned that they were coming to their class to experience a week of classes, the students in the class concealed their excitement about meeting their stars and stayed up all night to catch up on everyone's programs.
They naturally also knew that Xiang Wanning looked weak, but was actually very good at fighting.
A trace of fear suddenly flashed through the hearts of this group of people. Thinking of this, they did not dare to really provoke Xiang Wanning: After all, this person is not afraid of trouble in the entertainment industry. What if she uses the same method to beat them again?
The classroom suddenly became quiet because of this sentence, and the teacher who was lecturing at the podium was also stunned. He looked up blankly. He had been teaching this class for three years. From being full of enthusiasm in the beginning to being frustrated now, he had never seen them obey.
The teacher looked at Xiang Wanning in surprise, as if she didn't expect her to have such magic power, and really made the whole class quiet down obediently.
But the leading boy disliked Xiang Wanning because of this. She was just a star, and she came to his territory to show off? Thinking so, he felt that he had lost face in front of his younger brothers, and he also felt that the group of people who really followed her instructions and quieted down were all cowards!
He was mixed in with the group of boys and couldn't find a suitable opportunity to speak. At this moment, there was a knock on the classroom door, and a boy, soaking wet, appeared in front of everyone.
The boy was thin, pale and trembling all over. The teacher on the podium was the first to react when he saw him. He frowned and said, "Yi Shan, how did you get yourself into this state?"
The boy named Yi Shan opened his mouth. His current miserable state was not caused by him at all! He seemed to want to refute what the teacher said, but he flinched when his eyes met the gaze of a certain boy in the class.
So Yi Shan had no choice but to say, "I, I just fell down accidentally."
When the teacher heard him say this, he seemed to know something. He glanced at the group of boys just now, stared at the boy who led them, and said with undisguised disgust: "Jiang Tao, didn't you say that you are not allowed to bully your classmates?"
Yi Shan is the student with the best grades in the class. If he performs well, he can rank in the top 300. He was only assigned to this class because of his poor family background and his poor performance in the high school entrance examination. He is like a lamb that has strayed into a wolf's pen and is loved by the teacher.
The boy named Jiang Tao, who had just accused He Qiuling of stealing, said with a smirk, "Teacher, no one said it was me. How can you slander my innocence out of thin air?"
"Even if you like Yi Shan, you can't spread rumors about another student, right?"
"Besides," he said with a grin, "What's wrong with a sissy like Yi Shan having to suffer a little? Doesn't this make him more manly?"
Jiang Tao looked at Lan Zhi with disgust on his face, pointed at him and cursed: "You are just like him, sissy. I don't know why the girls in our class like someone like you? You are really blind!"
The radar in Lan Zhi's body was triggered. It seemed that she remembered that she had been scolded like this before. Her face changed immediately and she reached out to break the pen in her hand.
"I agree with your suggestion. This kid really deserves a beating." He said to Xiang Wanning, "I have to beat him up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, rushed to the boy, grabbed him by the collar, and said viciously: "Say it again?"
The entire class was stunned by this scene. The girls were the first to react and shouted, "Jiang Tao! Don't bully our brother!"
Jiang Tao, who was about to be lifted into the air by Lan Zhi due to his strong muscles: ...
Who the hell is bullying who here? !
Jiang Tao knew that these stars cared most about their face, so he wanted to say something harsh, but his legs couldn't stop shaking. When he met Lan Zhi's eyes, his eyes were filled with panic and fear.
The other members of the crew reacted immediately and rushed over to hug Lan Zhi.
The left one held his arm and forced him to put his hand down, and shouted: "Brother Lang! Calm down! We are people of status, we can't argue with a child! You are five years older than him!"
The one on the right grabbed his feet and cried, "Think about our drama! Think about Yu Quezhou! If the other party finds out, we will all be in big trouble!"
Even Xiang Wanning stood up and walked to his side, saying to him: "Forget it, you can't bully the weak, right?"
Before she finished speaking, Lan Zhi stared at her in disbelief: "Even you want to stop me?!"
Jiang Tao coughed twice, and seeing that he was powerless, he was secretly delighted, shouting "What can you do to me", and slapped Lan Zhi in the face.
Then he heard Xiang Wanning's voice.
"He is nineteen, I am twenty, I am also young, let me do it."
…
Jiang Tao told the teacher while crying.
When Xiang Wanning and Lan Zhi were invited to the office for tea, the principal personally brewed Longjing tea for them and said with a sigh, "I know you two have a strong sense of responsibility, but this is at school after all. If this matter gets out, it won't be good for your reputation, right?"
"Now that you are at school, you still have to abide by the school's rules and regulations."
Lan Zhi sneered, and leaned forward to show the principal his swollen right face: "Stare at it and tell me again?"
The principal coughed lightly and turned his head. Then he said, "My face is insured. Why don't you pay for it?"
"I will give you an explanation for this matter." The principal said, "But I don't have a better solution to the issue of school bullying that you mentioned. If I really intervene, I'm afraid those two children will suffer even more serious retaliation."
Lan Zhi couldn't believe it: "Can't you call the police? Can't you find someone to educate him? You are the principal, and you actually said there is no better solution?"
"The method you mentioned is effective for wealthy families and perhaps for ordinary families, but it has no effect on those who are so poor that even their own families have given up on them." The principal said, "They are not afraid of moral condemnation and pressure from public opinion, and they are still young, so it is difficult for the law to impose appropriate punishments on them."
…
While they were arguing, Xiang Wanning's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar call.
She hesitated for a moment, thinking that not many people would know her private number, so she walked out of the office and answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Sister Wan Ning!" A panicked female voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm Sister Zhi Nian's assistant. Can you contact her now?!"
