Taken Away

Having threatened Zhong Yunxin again, Xia Yu let her go.

He knew that for the time being, Zhong Yunxin was a bit scared, but after a while, she would start causing trouble again.

There was no way around it; this lesson, especially one without too much violence, was bound to have a limited lasting effect on Zhong Yunxin.

Warnings like this would have to be repeated a few times.

After eating and drinking in Dongzhi Village until four in the afternoon, Xia Yu returned to his own body.

The next morning, he woke up from his sleep and heard the voice of Yan Wei outside.

When he went out, he saw Yuxue and the others eating snacks.

"I made these," Yan Wei said to Xia Yu.

"Go wash your face and brush your teeth. It's so delicious!" Yuxue said.

Entering the bathroom and finishing his cleansing routine, Xia Yu came to the table.

The snacks were not the popular Western-style pastries, but Chinese rice cakes.

Taking a bite of a rice cake, Xia Yu found that both the sweetness and the softness were just perfect.

It was no worse than what the chef at Dongzhi Village had made, which showed that the girl probably had a talent in cooking.

It was a pity that cooking skills were of no use to Xia Yu.

After finishing the snacks, he went to An Siyao's place at eight o'clock.

Today was October 1st, World Celebration Day, and Dongzhixiang Academy was on holiday for seven days.

However, there were still many students in the academy, and not everyone left the school.

The daughters of the upper-class families often had no one to accompany them at home, so they preferred to stay at school.

Among them, Zhong Yunxin was not allowed to leave the school without parental explanation due to her punishment.

"Good morning," An Siyao greeted Xia Yu.

"Morning," Xia Yu responded.

Sitting in the chair, he pondered how to continue getting involved with Zhong Yunxin.

Last time, Zhong Yunxin happened to bump into them, but now the warned Zhong Yunxin would immediately detour when she saw An Siyao and the others.

After thinking about it, he decided to continue with the plan that had been interrupted yesterday. He asked, "What's the story with this Zhong Yunxin?"

"Zhong Yunxin? I don't know much about her, but Jiajia must know."

Xia Yu then sent a message to Feng Yujia, who didn't answer directly but said she would come to the villa in half an hour.

"Do you like this type?" An Siyao asked cautiously.

"I'm just curious. It's puzzling how such a person could show up at Dongzhixiang Academy, which is so harmonious," Xia Yu positioned himself as a curious person about the highs and lows of the academy.

"Yes, I've never seen anyone like her before." An Siyao paused, then asked again, "You really don't like her?"

"..."

Xia Yu pondered whether saying he liked her would make it easier to intervene in this matter.

However, saying such things would have severe consequences.

"I like girls who are more well-behaved," he said.

"Okay," the young girl cheered up.

Xia Yu just didn't want to be in love, not like the male protagonist in a Japanese novel; he could feel the girl's thoughts.

It was normal for a girl who had hardly ever interacted with her peers to develop a fondness for a boy who had helped her several times.

Especially when he knew everything about her.

"Where are you planning to go for college?" Xia Yu asked.

"It should be Hua University, my grandfather mentioned it before," An Siyao replied.

"What major?"

The two began to chat casually.

Twenty-five minutes later, Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo arrived at the villa.

Feng Yujia originally wanted to come alone, but was discovered by Feng Yumo when she sneaked out.

Sitting in the gazebo in the front yard, Feng Yujia recalled and started answering Xia Yu's questions.

"Zhong Yunxin, she was said to have been a delinquent since junior high school, and even got expelled from the school once."

Feng Yujia took a sip of tea and continued, "She used to study at Huazhiqiu School, and just transferred here this year, it's said that she committed some serious offense there."

Xia Yu did not ask what the offense was; he could know about it from Kong Hanyue.

"Are there many people like her in your circle?" Xia Yu asked.

He was now pretending to be interested in the bad girls in the Miss Circle, so he couldn't just focus on Zhong Yunxin.

"There are some with bad tempers, but I haven't seen anyone like her before," Feng Yujia shook her head.

At this time, Feng Yumo chimed in: "Does Yaoyao like this kind of delinquent style?"

This question seemed somehow familiar.

"I don't like it; I just can't imagine how someone from such a privileged background like her could turn out this way," Xia Yu answered.

"Why does Zhong Yunxin bully her classmates?" he asked again.

"God knows what she's thinking," Feng Yujia was also clueless.

He sighed in his heart. The reason he asked Feng Yujia was to find the cause of Zhong Yunxin's violent behavior, but it seems that Feng Yujia didn't know.

So, he could only learn about the situation from those students who had been bullied by Feng Yujia.

With the inquiry set aside, the three chatted while drinking tea and eating snacks to pass the time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Yujia received a phone call.

"What, Zhong Yunxin beat someone again?...The teacher on duty is not there?...The security guards don't dare to intervene?"

She hung up the phone, and Feng Yujia looked at Xia Yu.

The call was for her to help, but she didn't dare to face Zhong Yunxin herself.

Xia Yu stood up: "Let's go and have a look."

At two-thirty, the three arrived at the Dongzhi Township dormitory building.

In the lobby on the first floor, a group of people surrounded something.

In the center, Zhong Yunxin was beating two security guards who were trying to control her, the guards didn't dare to fight back and could only endure the hits with their heads down.

In a money-driven society, ordinary people like security guards naturally feared these young ladies from wealthy families.

"Make way," Xia Yu moved forward.

Upon seeing Xia Yu, the surrounding girls let out exclamations of surprise.

Zhong Yunxin also shrank back a bit, and the security guards took the opportunity to break free.

"Miss An," the two security guards looked at him with eyes full of gratitude.

Both An Siyao and Feng Yujia were famous at the school, and the security guards knew them.

"Let me handle it." Xia Yu dismissed the two security guards and walked towards Zhong Yunxin.

Zhong Yunxin barely managed to calm down for two seconds, but when Xia Yu was still five steps away from her, she couldn't stand it anymore and turned to run down the hallway.

Xia Yu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Yunxin's collar with a jerk.

Thump—

The sound of Zhong Yunxin falling to the ground was muffled and loud.

The whispering girls around also quieted down, feeling a bit scared.

"What are you doing!" Zhong Yunxin stood up, ready to resist.

Xia Yu stretched out his hand again, pressing against her stomach.

She immediately lost the strength to resist.

"Who did Zhong Yunxin hit?" Xia Yu looked at the onlooking girls.

There was silence in the hall. When Xia Yu was holding Zhong Yunxin, he activated a fright, scaring the group of girls.

After three seconds, one of An Siyao's classmates answered, "They were scared and ran back to their dormitory."

"Are the injuries serious?" Xia Yu asked again.

"N-no, there's no problem." The female student was a bit scared while being watched by Xia Yu.

"Please tell them that I will be waiting for them at the Student Union." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu looked at the two security guards, "Please go and inform them as well."

"Yes." The two security guards straightened their waists, almost saluting.

Following behind Xia Yu, who was holding Zhong Yunxin, the two security guards exchanged glances.

As expected from the young ladies of the upper class, their momentum was quite intimidating.
