9 School Spirit

  The school girl's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried, and she looked so weak that I felt sorry for her.She waved at Xue Jing from a distance and forced a smile as a greeting.

Seeing her like this, Xue Jing understood and whispered to himself, "So that's how it is..."

"Huh? Why is this junior here? She's quite brave. She didn't even wait for the lunch break to be over, and ran straight to our class to find you." Li Ge was stunned.

He was a little nearsighted and didn't wear glasses at the moment, so he didn't see the girl's expression clearly. He just smiled at Xue Jing and said, "Be gentle when you reject her. Don't hurt her feelings too much. In fact, it's good to try to have a relationship. These long white legs are not an insult to you..."

Xue Jing didn't say much, just nodded, stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Many people in the class noticed that there was such a pretty school girl standing at the door. In addition, since someone had just called out to them, they all knew that she was looking for Xue Jing. At this time, they all looked sideways at Xue Jing as she walked out of the classroom.

After Xue Jing and his schoolmate left together, the fire of gossip was ignited in the class, and a wave of heated discussion broke out.

…

Xue Jing followed his schoolmate to the staircase at the end of the corridor. At this time, because the class was about to start, all the students had entered the classroom and there was no one else in the corridor.

"Here it is."

Xue Jing spoke.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

As soon as the schoolgirl heard Xue Jing speak, tears couldn't stop flowing.

"I'm sorry, Senior, it's all my fault..."

She began to explain what happened. Because she was crying so hard, her words were intermittent and her emotions were so agitated that her wording was a little difficult to understand. However, Xue Jing did not rush her. He just listened to her patiently and asked her again from time to time when there were some things he really didn't understand.

Only after the other party told the whole story did Xue Jing understand what had happened.

To put it simply, this pretty sophomore girl has a suitor in the same class named Pei Youguang.

This name is very famous in the affiliated high school. Xue Jing has an impression that he is a school bully who can call the shots in the school.

The problem still lies in the scene when the junior school girl came to give him a towel during the physical examination yesterday.

I don't know who told Pei Youguang about him taking the towel yesterday. This morning, he loudly declared in class that he would teach Xue Jing a lesson.

"…"

Although Xue Jing had a premonition of what happened when he saw his schoolmate coming to him with tears in her eyes, he still felt a little amused when it was confirmed.

"Senior, I'm really sorry. I begged him for a long time not to bother you, but he didn't listen at all..." The junior girl sobbed and kept wiping her tears.

Xue Jing: "…"

Are you sure this isn't adding fuel to the fire?

He was somewhat speechless.

If he didn't know that these half-grown kids didn't think things through, he would have suspected that this school girl was deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

This kind of young man who would think of using force to compete is obviously extremely impulsive. Hearing the person he likes pleading for others will only ignite the anger in his heart. He may even subconsciously think that he has done the right thing and found the "weak spot", otherwise the school girl would not be so scared.

But Xue Jing did not blame her.

He nodded and said, "I understand. You can go back now."

He paused again, "…This is not your fault, don't worry about it, I will take care of it."

Is there a problem with the junior school girl? I think so.

But it's not a big problem.

Even if Baosi, Daji and Yang Guifei were wrong, they would never be blamed the most.

"Senior..."

The schoolgirl was very touched.

"I have always been..."

She wanted to take this opportunity to say something, but she found that Xue Jing turned around and walked towards his class, obviously not intending to listen to what she said next.

"…"

The school girl understood what he meant. It was a rejection that seemed cold but was actually gentle. She was silent for a while, smiled at herself, and walked away disappointed.

…

"So the person who is causing trouble for you is Pei Youguang?"

Li Ge pinched his chin, and his brows furrowed as he listened to Xue Jing's account of what happened.

"It's not good, Master Jing."

Xue Jing took out the Chinese textbook for the first class from his schoolbag, put it on the table, and said casually, "What do you mean?"

"You don't get much exposure to this kind of news, so you may not know that Pei Youguang is a very troublesome person."

Li Ge explained.

"Let me tell you this, if there had been a Sorting Hat when our high school was enrolled, he could have reported directly to Azkaban."

"This guy is from the martial arts club. He relies on his martial arts training to bully his classmates. Every now and then you'll hear about him beating someone up. I also heard that he often harasses girls."

Li Ge moved his chair and moved closer to Xue Jing, lowering his voice: "These are not the key points. I also heard that this man has killed people and raped female classmates."

"I remember that last semester, a girl from Grade 2, Class 7 suddenly transferred to another school. It was said that she transferred because he bullied her."

Xue Jing frowned: "It must be fake. If he really did such a thing, would he still be able to stay in school?"

Li Ge: "I thought so at first, but then I found out that the students who were bullied by him didn't dare to tell their teachers or parents, and the school seemed to turn a blind eye."

"So I asked the second graders and found out that Pei Youguang's father worked for a ruling councillor and had a strong background."

"If you think about it, you will know that if a bully like this doesn't have a strong enough background, how could he get into our affiliated middle school?"

The governing councillors are theoretically the highest level of the power pyramid in a city. There are about thirty of them in the entire Sunny City, including one chief and three deputies.

Being able to work under a congressman really means one has a powerful background.

Xue Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Has he ever killed anyone?"

Li Ge shook his head: "There is no specific statement on this point, but many people have seen Pei Youguang carrying a knife. If he dares to do such a thing, it is not surprising that he has killed people."

"Let's tell the teacher. What if someone like Pei Youguang really wants to kill you?"

Li Ge was very worried.

Xue Jing smiled.

It's very intimidating. Most students would probably pee themselves to death after hearing this.

However, Xue Jing did not think the other party was that scary.

Things in the world have their own logic. For many things, as long as one's cognitive level reaches a certain level, one can easily see through the surface and see the essence.

This kind of evil is an absolute taboo in human society. Not to mention having a father who works for the ruling congressman, even the ruling congressman himself would not make a big fuss about it and do the same as if he wanted the whole world to know about it.

Even those at the top of power need to abide by the rules on the surface, let alone a mere second-rate school bully on campus?

Most students have not yet stepped into society and have insufficient cognitive abilities. When they hear these rumors, they will feel scared and will add layer after layer of protection to Pei Youguang in their hearts, becoming more and more afraid of him.

Xue Jing, on the other hand, the more he listened, the more the other person's tiger skin was peeled off.

Some people, the more they lack something, the more they emphasize it.

"Don't tell the teacher."

"I will have a good talk with Pei Youguang."

Xue Jing said softly.

The bell for class rang and the Chinese teacher, Du Shiwei, walked in.
