When Wang Bing heard Jiang Xu speak, he looked over in disbelief. "What did you call me?" The expressions of the two people behind him also changed. One of them was gloating, while the other looked worried.
Jiang Xu looked at the two people behind Wang Bing. It was one thing for them to be gloating, but what was with that worried look on their faces? It was inexplicably disgusting. He clearly remembered the scene where the original owner asked this person for help, and then the other person betrayed the original owner.
Jiang Xu, Jiang Xu, failing to recognize people is a great mistake.
"Your surname isn't Wang? What is it then? I didn't expect you to change your surname after just one holiday. Did your family agree to it?" Jiang Xu's tone remained unchanged, but his question was clearly barbed.
"You!" Wang Bing was about to explode when Liu Xian grabbed his arm. He turned his head and saw Liu Xian's eyes darting around. "What are you doing? Are you blind? Are you getting angry with this damn guy?"
"No, Brother Wang, that..." Liu Xian's words caught in his throat. He gave the man a look, telling him to look at Gu Li. How could this guy be so stupid?
Liu Xian and Zhao Rangwen may seem to be on Wang Bing's side, but in reality, they are both trying to curry favor with Wang Bing because his family has a bit more power.
The Wang family is a well-known emerging aristocratic family in H City; in recent years, they are the only family that has risen to prominence and established itself.
Of course, the Wang family doesn't refer to the Wang Bing family. The Wang Bing family is a distant, distant branch of the family, but they are at least somewhat related and have enjoyed some good fortune, so they don't have to worry about food and drink.
Liu Xian glanced at Gu Li, who was sitting calmly, and decisively let go of Wang Bing's hand. Let this idiot be. "It's okay, Brother Wang. How about we go eat with A-Xu when it's time to eat?"
Wang Bing gave Liu Xian an approving look. "Liu Xian is right. Jiang Xu, you didn't sit with us this time. It's like we're being distant. Come on, let's have a meal together and catch up."
After saying that, Wang Bing went around to the back of Jiang Xu's chair, intending to hook his arm around Jiang Xu's arm to create an atmosphere of good buddies, and also intending to secretly threaten Jiang Xu with force.
Just as he reached out to put his arm around Jiang Xu's neck, his arm was suddenly grabbed. "Huh?" Wang Bing was a little surprised to see Jiang Xu holding his arm.
Then he watched as Jiang Xu turned around and smiled warmly at him, before turning back as if nothing had happened.
"Ahhh!" The sudden increase in the grip on his arm felt like the flesh of his arm was being clamped by iron pincers, and the pain shot up violently. If he hadn't endured it, he probably would have burst into tears.
Even though he tried to hold back, tears still welled up in Wang Bing's eyes. Like a strong man shedding tears, it didn't evoke much sympathy, but rather gave people goosebumps in a strange way.
Those who hadn't left the classroom yet looked over, curious as to what had happened.
Jiang Xu looked down at his arm, which was quite close to his body. The muscles on his arm were bulging, looking like they were about to explode, but unfortunately, they were all show and no substance.
He silently increased his strength, inflicting greater pressure and pain on the person being held.
"Let go! Let go!" Wang Bing roared, his voice trembling, as if he were enduring some kind of pain.
Not to mention the other classmates, even Liu Xian and Zhao Rangwen, who were standing nearby, were confused about what the other was yelling about. "Brother Wang, what are you doing?"
"They, they're all here, looking, looking at us," Zhao Rangwen stammered. He already had a stutter, and his nervousness made it even worse.
Gu Li looked up at the scene beside him. He knew Jiang Xu's fighting ability and strength, so he naturally knew what the other party was doing.
Gu Li turned slightly to the side so that she could see the scene more clearly.
When Jiang Xu saw Gu Li looking at him, he smiled and winked at her quickly in front of everyone.
Apart from Gu Li, no one else noticed this little gesture.
Gu Li pursed his lips; he really was a repressed flirt.
"He...he..." Wang Bing hesitated, unable to speak, but Jiang Xu's increasing pressure made him unable to hold back any longer. "He's squeezing my hand! Let go!"
"How could I do that?" Jiang Xu suddenly released his hand, his expression one of utter helplessness and panic. After performing in front of everyone, he turned to Wang Bing and spoke in a low voice from an angle only Wang Bing could see, "Xiao Wang?"
Extremely provocative and infuriating.
Wang Bing couldn't stand it any longer, so he immediately shoved the person.
Jiang Xu, taking advantage of the fact that everyone saw him push him, lost his balance and fell down, landing precisely in the direction he had carefully chosen—the direction Gu Li was in. He landed right there, and Gu Li caught him safely.
"What's going on? Why is Wang Bing bullying people?"
"Yeah, yeah, we can't be jealous of others just because they're handsome. No wonder handsome guys don't dare to come to class, they're afraid of people like that."
“That makes sense. He also said that someone pinched him. Look how skinny that person is, their arms aren’t even half the thickness of his. Even if they did pinch him, there’s no reason for him to yell like that.”
"I definitely didn't touch it. I heard the handsome guy say he didn't move it."
"Shut up." Wang Bing had never heard so many people contradict him before. Who had never gone against him since he was a child? How dare they talk to him like that?
The crowd fell silent for a moment, then the discussion intensified.
"Oh dear, he won't let us talk! I'm so scared!"
"I never expected him to be this kind of person. He usually seems quite honest."
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Just because someone is ugly doesn't mean they're honest. What are truly honest people supposed to do?"
"You...you...he's Jiang Xu! We're in the same dorm, how could I not know him! Liu Xian, Zhao Rangwen, are you mute? Speak up!"
"Ah...right, right, he's in the same dorm as us, he was just joking around."
Zhao Rangwen stammered but couldn't bring himself to speak, and no one present seemed to care about him.
"One dorm room? Really?" Someone approached and asked in Jiang Xu and Gu Li's direction.
"Get up quickly." Gu Li stayed with Jiang Xu for a while, but seeing that he didn't move, she didn't dare to speak. When someone came over, she lowered her voice and urged Jiang Xu.
Seeing that the next opportunity had arrived, Jiang Xu stood up as well. "Yes, I am Jiang Xu." Jiang Xu raised his head, looking helpless and alone. After speaking, he glanced at the three people standing there as if he were stealing a look. "But I really didn't pinch him."
His tone was firm, as if he would never bow to evil forces, which made everyone else feel empathy, as if they were really facing dark forces.
"Look at my hands, they're all red and have marks. He did it." Wang Bing was eager to show his hands, raising them straight towards the crowd, and in the process, he even hit a classmate who was standing nearby.
"Ah!" The man took a step back. "Why did you hit me?"
After this incident, everyone looked at him with nothing but contempt.
"Indiscriminate attack? Are you planning to kill us all to create a unified narrative?"
"Stay away from him, he's in a killing frenzy."
The sarcastic remarks continued, and now no one noticed the red marks on his arm.
"The teacher is here! The teacher is here!" someone who had gone to find the teacher shouted at the door, and everyone looked in that direction.
During this brief moment, Jiang Xu asked Gu Li a question. His voice was quick and soft, yet full of youthful vigor, which startled Gu Li for no apparent reason.
He thought, this is really bad.
