On the other side, as soon as the lunch break bell rang, Tu Keke sprawled out on her desk.
It's only the first day of school, and they're already pushing the intensity to the limit. Tu Keke is finding it very difficult to adapt.
She was lying on the table, turning her head to the right. Yu Xiaoyu was tidying up the table, her thick bangs partially obscuring her eyes. Noticing someone watching her, Yu Xiaoyu subconsciously looked over.
It turns out to be Tu Keke. I wonder what Luo Zixi said to her this morning. I guess it was about her elementary school days. Tu will probably hate me because of this. Oh well, we're all the same in the end. We'll all ignore each other and even disregard each other.
Tu Keke stood up and said to Yu Xiaoyu shyly, "Xiaoyu, can we go to the cafeteria for lunch together?"
“I only came to Guangzhou two months ago. I don’t know anyone here.”
Yu Xiaoyu nodded subconsciously.
Tu Keke happily pulled Yu Xiaoyu up and they went downstairs together toward the cafeteria.
While waiting in line, Tu Keke sniffed at Yu Xiaoyu in front of her. There was no smell, but rather a pleasant osmanthus fragrance.
Yu Xiaoyu turned around in surprise and looked at Tu Keke.
Upon being discovered, Tu Keke laughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I didn't mean to."
Yu Xiaoyu shook her head.
"It's okay, I don't care about these things. I don't smell. They're just making things up."
Tu Keke frowned, but she didn't say anything.
Soon it was Yu Xiaoyu's turn. Yu Xiaoyu ordered some tofu, some green vegetables, and a bowl of rice.
Tu Keke felt a little reluctant, so when it was her turn, she specially ordered more meat.
The two sat down to eat, and Tu Keke shared the meat from her plate with Yu Xiaoyu.
Yu Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised, but immediately understood and felt a little embarrassed.
“Tu, you…”
Tu Keke said with a smile, "Don't be so formal, just call me Keke. I'll call you Xiaoyu too. Auntie made too much, I can't finish it all, please help me share some, thank you."
Yu Xiaoyu wanted to serve the rice back to Tu Keke, but she had already used the chopsticks, which made her lower her head in embarrassment and silently pick at her white rice.
Tu Keke felt sorry for the girl in front of her. They were the same age, so how could she be so thin?
"Xiaoyu, you need to eat more, you're too thin."
"Yes, my grandma often makes me noodles, and I always finish them all."
Seeing Yu Xiaoyu's serious expression, Tu Keke found it rather cute. She thought that if Yu Xiaoyu's bangs were thinned out and her forehead was exposed, she would look much more energetic.
The two enjoyed their lunch together.
Suddenly, Luo Zixi led a group of young men and women out from behind Tu Keke, carrying a plate in his hand. Yu Xiaoyu wanted to warn him, but it was too late. Luo Zixi's hand slipped, and the swill in the plate was poured onto Tu Keke's plate.
The food that hadn't been finished was ruined.
Luo Zixi laughed loudly: "Eating with a stinky bitch, even the food has gone bad now. Tu, can you still eat?"
Tu Keke looked at the ruined food on the plate, took a deep breath, stood up, and kicked Luo Zixi hard in the shin. Before Luo Zixi could react, he lost his balance. Tu Keke grabbed Luo Zixi's hair and slammed him hard onto the stainless steel table.
Luo Zixi felt a sharp pain in his forehead and fell to the ground. He looked at Tu Keke in disbelief, felt a warm flow on his forehead, and touched it. It was blood.
Tu Keke looked at Yu Xiaoyu with a smile.
"Xiaoyu, giving in will only embolden the other party. Only by resisting can we end this endless suffering."
"Do you understand?"
Yu Xiaoyu stared blankly at the scene and nodded subconsciously.
Luo Zixi angrily yelled at the boys and girls around her, "Are you all just standing by and watching me get beaten up?! Are you blind?! Hurry up and attack!"
The group of people then came to their senses and surrounded Tu Keke and Yu Xiaoyu.
Some students couldn't stand it anymore and rushed upstairs to the teachers' cafeteria to find the teachers.
Soon, news of Tu Keke's glorious feat of taking on eight opponents at once spread throughout the entire Yangcheng No. 1 High School.
When Yanluo received the call, she felt like the sky had fallen; her child had gotten into a fight.
He was so anxious that he stopped his time to get closer to Bai Ningbing—no, his study time—and rushed to the school.
It was nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, and Aunt Su Qing was still asleep.
Yan Luo was taken to the meeting room by Wang Fang, Tu Keke's homeroom teacher, where nine students' parents were sitting.
Nine students, including Luo Zixi, stood in a row, while Tu Keke stood opposite them.
As Yanluo entered the meeting room, the eyes of both male and female parents immediately focused on the young woman.
The vice principal of the junior high school campus stood up to greet Tu Keke's parents.
"Hello, sir, are you Tu Keke's classmate?"
"Hello, I am her uncle."
Yan Luo shook hands with Principal Fu.
Principal Fu is under tremendous pressure right now. Luo Zixi's parents are the police chief, and the parents of the other eight students are also wealthy, powerful, and influential.
She was a little worried about whether Tu Keke's parents, who were so young, could handle the situation.
Yan Luo walked up to Tu Keke, reached out and touched the girl's head, looked her over from left to right, and found that Tu Keke didn't seem to be injured.
"Coco, are you hurt?"
Tu Keke chuckled and said, "These kids are too green to fight against this heroine."
Seeing that Tu Keke was so energetic, Yan Luo felt relieved and sat down next to Principal Fu, glancing at the nine parents opposite her.
Principal Fu began, “Now that all the parents are here, according to the investigation, it was Luo Zixi and nine other students who provoked Tu Keke and made personal threats against her.”
"Tu's actions constitute legitimate self-defense."
"There are not only surveillance cameras in the cafeteria, but also confirmations from other students."
One of the female parents shouted angrily, "Even if she acted in self-defense, wasn't that excessive? My son's face is swollen like a pig's head."
Other parents also chimed in, sharing their own stories about how their children were doing.
Only one male parent in the center remained silent. He was dressed casually, yet his demeanor revealed an extraordinary air about him. Although he was middle-aged and somewhat overweight, he still exuded a sense of authority, a characteristic of someone who had long held a position of power.
He is Luo Zixi's paternal guardian, Luo Zixi's father who is also the bureau chief, and his name is Luo Zhong.
Luo Zhong stared at the young man in front of him. He felt that the young man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
When he came to his senses, he saw the other parents looking at him, seemingly waiting for him to make a statement.
Luo Zhong remained silent, his mind racing. He was certain he had seen the young man sitting opposite him somewhere before, and that he was someone of great importance.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in Luo Zhong's mind. These people had extraordinary physical abilities and specialized in hunting down the real culprits behind those difficult cases. Some of them were even above him in rank.
In Guangzhou, there was a team composed of such people. Before he took office, the old director had warned him that he must not offend this team, or he would be in danger.
