"Why does Ali have to apologize? It's good enough that you're on the side of the bully, but now you're also—"
"Hey, Brother Fan."
Feng Ruye's attitude made Chu Shangli waver: "Is it really my fault? Because I was hurt and had no place to vent my anger, did I implicate innocent people..."
"How can you think it's your fault?" Wei Shengfan whispered, "That's how bullies work. First, make the easy target think they've done something wrong, and then keep pushing them past their limits. If you apologize here, you'll definitely encounter even worse consequences."
"That's right - this is it!" Feng Ruyue patted Chu Shangli's shoulder, but Bai Xiaoqian waved his hand away.
Feng Ruye coughed and took a light breath. "Uh... well, as long as I apologize here, Miss Chu Shangli and Luo Dongxia are the same. They're both constantly having their bottom lines pushed. However, because Luo Dongxia doesn't have the same good background as Chu Shangli, the degree and form of their bottom lines being pushed are different."
Feng Ruye said indifferently, "Actually, Miss Chu Shangli, you know better than anyone else whether today's incident was caused by someone being unreasonable or by you. However, why are you unwilling to face this fact? Perhaps it's a victim mentality. You think your face is ruined, so you can do anything. Unable to find a true enemy, you regard everyone around you as an enemy. Your heart is like a black hole, sucking in all the filth - crushing everything, so as to calm and heal."
Feng Ruye pushed up his glasses. "But, Miss, you're relying on your family background and power to bully us, who aren't as powerful as you. Can that change reality? While revenge on your enemies won't restore your dignity, revenge on those who aren't your enemies is even less so. Please, if you harbor dark thoughts, please devour those disgusting people who have truly hurt you, rather than dragging others into your vortex."
Chu Shangli suddenly had a strange feeling——
"Ah." Chu Shangli smiled bitterly, "From your tone, it seems as if you know Miss Chu Shangli very well."
"I didn't know her at first. But I have a friend who cares about her a lot, so I know all her hobbies, every move, every word and every action. I think that friend likes her and praises her too much - especially today, I almost feel disgusted by her. Fortunately, I still believe that my friend has good eyesight and would not fall for a purely evil girl, so - as expected, I was just bewitched by something."
Feng Ruye rested his chin on his hand. "If Miss Chu Shangli doesn't mind, I can make up for your missed lessons. Even if it's for my friend, your ranking doesn't pose a threat to me. I've worked hard to improve your grades, which not only makes my friend happy but also consolidates my basic knowledge. It's a two-pronged approach."
"The friend you are talking about is not you, right?" Ouyang Huanshi complained.
Laughter was heard nearby.
Generally speaking, if someone has to mention "I have a friend" at this time, it means he or she has a secret.
"No, he is really my friend." Feng Ruyue denied Ouyang Huanshi's guess, but even Chu Shangli did not sound very strong in this denial.
"What? So you're coveting my fiancée." Wei Shengfan chuckled, "I won't give her to you—"
