Shi Qian had a vague impression of this person. He seemed to be one of Shi Yan's suitors, named Zhang Ming. The two had no interaction in the previous life, but for some reason, he had started targeting her in this life.
Shi Qian ultimately attributed these changes to the additional effects of plot developments.
However, since they schemed against me yesterday, I must get my revenge no matter what.
Shi Qian had no intention of swallowing her anger. She had already been annoying enough as a mindless tool in the past, and in this life, she would naturally follow her heart.
He is not someone to be trifled with. He treats others the way they treat him, and the idea of repaying evil with kindness is just a lie told by the perpetrator.
The perpetrator is the beneficiary, and he would certainly like everyone in the world to repay evil with good. In this way, no matter how many bad things he does, those who have been hurt will have a sad self-justification and eventually end all the harm with "it's all fate" and so-called future blessings.
But Shi Qian disagreed. He wanted to be someone who would repay kindness with kindness. What future blessings? That was the escapist thinking of a fool. The future was all an illusion; only the present was real.
Giving up the real present for the sake of an illusory future is not a rational thing to do.
Besides, harm will never happen only once. As long as you don't fight back, the bullying by bad people will never stop until you learn to fight back.
Shi Qian quickly finished her breakfast and deliberately left a note for Zhang Ming as she passed by.
-Meet me at 9 p.m. in the backyard of the cafeteria.
Shi Qian knew that Zhang Ming would definitely keep the appointment because in his eyes, he was a weakling, someone who could be controlled. The provocation of the weak was a stimulant for the strong.
Moreover, Shi Qian couldn't ignore Zhang Ming's lecherous gaze just now; the sticky stare made Shi Qian feel disgusted.
In his previous life, Shi Qian rarely showed his true face. Shi Yan always dressed him up in all sorts of strange ways, saying, "Why does a tool have such a handsome protagonist's face?"
Shi Yan wanted to be the center of attention and would not allow anyone to threaten his position.
In this life, due to plot changes, Shi Qian has shed all her disguises and revealed her true self, which is why she is so captivating.
Zhang Ming was an arrogant nouveau riche in the art class. He paid three times the price of a regular art student to get into the school, and he did nothing but bully others. Of course, he wouldn't dare bully rich people, since his family still had a place in Yan City.
There is no risk in bullying poor children because the poor have nothing and there is no need to worry about their retaliation. They are powerless and have exhausted all their energy by struggling to make a living. Poor parents know all too well how to evade their obligation to protect their children. They will earnestly advise their children to learn to be patient, as if patience is a great virtue.
There were quite a few poor students who were bullied by Zhang Ming, but without exception, no one dared to fight back. Some of them didn't even tell their parents, because their parents would make them reflect on whether they had provoked others first.
Teachers in elite schools are naturally gifted at assessing situations and use this skill to perfection. They don't pursue justice; they only seek to live in peace.
As long as some students are willing to tolerate it, they will advocate for reconciliation no matter how great the harm. They repeatedly bring up the virtue of peace in negotiations, and they don't care whether the perpetrators' actions at the time were based on peace. They only care about whether this matter can be ended as soon as possible.
Shi Qian is not afraid of Zhang Ming; if you provoke him, you will have to bear the consequences.
When Shi Qian returned to the classroom, Meng Qing was already there. She had brought him breakfast, which was bread from a bakery he used to love and a cup of coffee.
Shi Qian and Meng Qing had mentioned this shop several times before, saying they would go and buy some to eat when school started.
Meng Qing thought Shi Qian was unhappy because she was locked up yesterday, so she went out of the school gate early in the morning and lined up to buy breakfast for Shi Qian, without having time to eat herself.
Shi Qian pushed the things back, saying that she had already eaten in the cafeteria, then sat down and took out the materials for the next class from her drawer.
Meng Qing didn't take the things back; she just placed them on the drawer between the two of them.
"I see you threw away your medicine. Is it okay if you don't take it now?"
You went through my trash?
When Meng Qing saw Shi Qian frown and look unhappy, she quickly explained, "No, your door wasn't closed. I saw it by accident when I passed by."
Shi Qian rolled his eyes inwardly. Meng Qing's attitude towards him was much better now than in his previous life, but he still felt it wasn't as good as before. He had already formed a preconceived notion about the main characters, and they were all his doom. He couldn't wait to get as far away from them as possible.
Unfortunately, when she was unconscious before her death, she ended up getting along well with Meng Qing by some twist of fate. Meng Qing now looks a bit silly, a far cry from the cold and cruel person she was in her previous life.
It's best not to fall out with Meng Qing right now, and to save your life, you should try not to provoke him.
Shi Qian replied dismissively, "It's nothing, I don't want to eat, I'm perfectly healthy."
Meng Qing asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"I don't care what he says. I've eaten so much before and I'm fine, haven't I? Not eating won't affect me. I have to go to class."
Seeing Shi Qian's firm attitude, Meng Qing didn't say anything more. As long as Shi Qian was alright, that was fine. She was now his deskmate and sitting next to him, so it would be convenient for her to take care of him.
Although Shi Qian's attitude towards him didn't seem as good as before, Meng Qing could understand. After all, he was the young master, and it was normal for his mood to be unpredictable from time to time. Besides, he was sick, so it was no big deal for him to be a little moody. He was a grown man, and it wouldn't hurt him to give in a little.
The whole day of classes passed just like that. Shi Qian didn't eat with Meng Qing at noon and in the evening, citing feeling unwell as the reason. Meng Qing still brought Shi Qian some food.
Shi Qian was somewhat annoyed by Meng Qing's overtures, but it would seem too strange for him to turn on her directly, so he could only do nothing.
Finally, it got dark. Shi Qian checked his watch and realized it was almost time for the appointment. He changed into casual clothes, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and went downstairs.
His movements were very subtle, and Meng Qing, who was taking a shower, couldn't hear him. At most, she would assume he was asleep.
However, he didn't care whether Meng Qing knew or not. Even if she did know, what could she say to him? They were just roommates living together.
Shi Qian arranged to meet in the backyard of the cafeteria because he knew it was the only place on campus without cameras or people, and it was also just a wall away from the outside world, far from the dormitories and classrooms, making it convenient for doing anything.
Shi Qian carefully avoided the camera's location and slowly moved to the backyard. It was dark inside as the lights were off. Shi Qian noticed someone standing there from afar, and judging from the figure, it was Zhang Ming.
He tiptoed, quickly walked behind Zhang Ming, swiftly put a sack over Zhang Ming's head, then took out a stick from his schoolbag and struck him directly.
