Hatred brewed for an entire class period. When the teacher let them rest, he watched as everyone in the classroom gathered around Fang Qing to talk, but no one came over to him. Even the boy from the other village who usually played with him ran in front of Fang Qing.
Enraged, Fang Xiaodong clenched his fists and, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, picked up the inkstone in front of him and smashed it at Fang Qing.
Fang Qing only heard Xiao Dou say "Be careful," and then her ears started ringing.
She felt pain in the back of her head only after a brief period of tinnitus.
"Ah! It was Fang Xiaodong who did it!"
"Fang Xiaodong, what are you doing!"
"Bean Sprout, how are you?"
Zhao Shi'an's chest was filled with murderous intent, and he forced himself to suppress it.
He walked behind Fang Qing and examined her head.
It wasn't broken, but judging from Fang Qing's stunned expression, it must have been hit quite hard.
Zhao Shi'an pinched her cheek.
"Does it hurt?"
Fang Qing belatedly realized that her head was throbbing so badly she wanted to take it off. When she met Zhao Shi'an's concerned gaze, her nose tingled and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Ouch, it hurts, brother, it hurts so much!"
She tried to cover the back of her head, but Zhao Shi'an grabbed her hand.
Don't touch it.
Zhao Shi'an pulled her into his arms and patted her back reassuringly.
"fine."
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Xiaodong.
Fang Xiaodong met his gaze, his eyes filled with undisguised malice.
"What are you glaring at me for? I hit her, that's who I've dealt with before. I even pushed her into the water and she almost drowned. Heh, aren't you angry? What can you do to me, you piece of trash?"
In Fang Xiaodong's eyes, Zhao Shi'an was still the same child they used to bully.
Fang Xiaodong's expression was rather arrogant, and even the child next to him couldn't stand it.
"Fang Xiaodong, you've gone too far! What do you think this place is, a place where you can do whatever you want?"
"None of your business! You think you're a tagalong just because you ate potato chips from Douya's shop for a few days? You have no backbone!"
"Who's the tagalong? If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll hit you!"
"I told you, not only you, but all of you, were all ruined by that little bitch Bean Sprout..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Shi'an picked up the inkstone from the ground and lunged at it.
He pinned Fang Xiaodong and the table to the ground. Before Fang Xiaodong could react, Zhao Shi'an smashed the inkstone in his hand onto his head.
Blow after blow, accompanied by Fang Xiaodong's screams, blood splattered all over Zhao Shi'an's face.
He pursed his lips, his eyes cold. If his men from his previous life were here, they would have been able to tell that Zhao Shi'an was after Fang Xiaodong's life.
The onlookers were terrified by Zhao Shi'an's posture and didn't even have the courage to step forward and stop him.
Fang Qing, ignoring her headache, clung tightly to Zhao Shi'an's waist, trying to pull him away, but Zhao Shi'an was too strong, and she couldn't budge him at all.
"Brother, stop hitting him, he'll die if you keep doing this."
"It doesn't hurt anymore, please stop."
When Zhang Xiaoyi came in, he saw this scene and quickly went to help Fang Qing pull Zhao Shi'an up.
"What are you doing? What's going on?"
"You're all just watching the show! Quickly, call the teacher!"
It was as if they had finally found their leader when Zhang Xiaoyi spoke, and they quickly summoned the Master.
Zhao Shi'an had calmed down his anger. The inkstone had been smashed, and he was slowly straightening his cuffs, looking like a completely different person from the one who had been beating people so wildly just moments before.
Fang Qing clung tightly to his clothes, afraid that he would hit her again.
Fang Xiaodong was unconscious, his head covered in blood. Zhang Xiaoyi stood beside him but dared not approach. The more timid students in the school even ran out and swarmed around to call the teacher in.
"My God, what happened? Who did this? Step forward!"
When the Master saw that Fang Xiaodong was unconscious, his vision blurred and he almost fainted. His voice rose several decibels.
"I did it."
Zhao Shi'an stood there, then wiped the blood off his hands and took Fang Qing's hand, as if to comfort her.
Why did you hit him?
"He bullied Bean Sprout."
The teacher looked at Fang Qing again.
Aside from obvious signs of crying around her eyes, Fang Qing showed no other injuries.
“He bullied Douya, and you told me, and I stood up for Douya. But you can’t beat him up like this!”
Zhao Shi'an pursed his lips and remained silent.
Of course he deserves to die.
He got off easy by not being killed today.
In the previous life, this person would have been torn apart by five horses.
This was his method of revenge; one could say he was vicious.
You can't bully bean sprouts.
The teacher's wife also came over, and when she saw the scene inside the school, she almost lost her footing.
"I'll go and call the child and the adults."
Fang Daniu and Zhao Shi had set up their stall outside and were coming over soon.
Seeing that Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an were alright, Fang Daniu breathed a sigh of relief, but when his gaze fell on Fang Xiaodong, his heart skipped a beat.
Especially after learning the details of what happened from the Master, Fang Daniu's face darkened.
"Shi'an! How could you beat someone up like this!"
Even when facing the Master, Zhao Shi'an still dared not bow his head.
But he felt a pang of guilt when facing Fang Daniu.
He was standing up for Douya, but he ended up causing trouble for Fang Daniu.
Zhao Shi'an lowered his head and suddenly felt his hand being squeezed.
He turned his head and saw Fang Qing looking at him.
"Brother, don't be afraid."
Then Fang Qing said to Fang Daniu, "Dad, Fang Xiaodong started the trouble first. He hit me first, and then he cursed at me and my brother. That's when my brother hit him."
"Alright, stop taking your brother's side. No matter what, you can't beat someone up like this!"
