Chapter 9: School Spirit

If you see Senator, Chairman, or Congressman, they are all the same, so don't get confused.

...

The junior sister's eyes were red and swollen as if she had just cried, she looked pitiful and full of weakness.

She waved to Xue Jing from a distance and forced a smile as a greeting.

Seeing her like this, Xue Jing understood what was going on in his heart, and whispered to himself "So that's it..."

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

He was a little nearsighted and didn't wear glasses at this time, so he didn't see the junior sister's face clearly. He just smiled at Xue Jing and said "Be gentle when you refuse, don't hurt her feelings too much. In fact, it would be good to try having a relationship. These white legs are not an insult to you..."

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

Many people in the class noticed that there was such a beautiful junior at the door, and someone just called out, so they all knew that she was looking for Xue Jing. At this time, they all looked at Xue Jing as he walked out of the classroom.

After Xue Jing and the junior left together, the gossip was like fuel that was ignited in the class, and a wave of discussion broke out.

...

Xue Jing followed the junior sister to the stairs at the end of the corridor. At this time, because it was almost time for class, all students had entered their classroom, so there was no one else in the corridor.

"Let's stop here." Xue Jing said. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

When the junior sister heard Xue Jing speak, tears could not stop flowing.

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

She began to tell what happened. Because she cried so hard, her words were intermittent, and her emotional excitement made her wording a little difficult to understand, but Xue Jing did not urge her, but just listened to her patiently, and asked again from time to time when there were some things that he really didn't understand.

After the other party finished telling the whole story, Xue Jing finally understood what happened.

In short, this beautiful 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 wind and rain" in the school.

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

I don't know if a busybody told Pei Youguang about him taking the towel yesterday. This morning, the other party loudly declared in the class that he would give Xue Jing a good lesson.

"..."

Although Xue Jing had a premonition of what happened when he saw the girl coming to him with tears in her eyes, he still felt a little amused after confirming it.

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

Xue Jing "..."

Are you sure that was not just adding fuel to the fire?

He was a little speechless.

If he didn't know that these half-grown children don't think things through, he would have suspected that this girl was deliberately fanning the flames.

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 will even subconsciously think that he has done the right thing and found a "weak spot", otherwise the junior sister would not be so scared.

However, Xue Jing did not blame her.

He nodded and said, "I know, you can go back."

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

Is there a problem with this junior sister? maybe.

But it's not a big problem.

"Senior..." The junior sister was very moved. "I have always..."

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

"..."     

The girl understood what he meant. This was a seemingly cold but actually gentle rejection. She was silent for a while, laughed at herself, and left disappointed.

...

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

Li Ge pinched his chin and frowned after listening to Xue Jing's account of what happened.

"This is not good Jing."

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

"You don't get much exposure to these 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 for our affiliated high school enrollment, he would have reported directly to Azkaban." (T/N: Harry Potter joke)

"This guy is from the martial arts club, and relying on the fact that he has practiced a little martial arts, bullying his classmates is commonplace. Every other day you hear about him beating up someone, and I heard that he often molests girls."

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

"I remember that last semester, a girl in Class 7 second year suddenly transferred to another school. It was said that she transferred because she was bullied by him."

Xue Jing frowned "It can't be true, if he really did such a thing, how could he still 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 have turned a blind eye."

"So I asked the second-year students, and then I found out that Pei Youguang's father worked for a ruling senator and has a strong background."

"In fact, if you think about it, you can probably guess how such a bully can enter our affiliated high school. It's because of his strong background."

The ruling senator is theoretically at the top of the power pyramid in a city. There are about 30 people in the whole Qingcheng, including a chairman and three vice-chairmen.

Being able to work under a senator is indeed considered to be a well-connected background.

Xue Jing thought about it and asked, "Has he killed anyone?"

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

"Let's tell the teacher, what if someone like Pei Youguang really kills you?" Li Ge was very worried.

Xue Jing smiled.

It's very intimidating. Most students would probably piss themselves when they hear this.

But Xue Jing didn't think the other party was that scary.

The operation of the world has its own underlying logic. As long as one's cognitive level reaches a certain level, many things can easily be seen and see the essence.

This kind of heinous behavior is an absolute taboo in human society. Not to mention having a father who works for the ruling congressman, even the ruling congressman himself cannot make a big fuss and wish the whole world would know and do the same.

Those at the top of the power still need to abide by the rules on the surface, let alone a second-rate school bully on campus.

Most students have not yet stepped into society and their cognitive level is insufficient. They will feel afraid when they hear these rumors. They will add layer after layer of fear for Pei Youguang in their hearts and then become more and more afraid of him.

Xue Jing, on the contrary, the more he heard, the less he feared the other party.

For some people, the more they lack something, the more they will emphasize it.

"Don't tell the teacher."

"I will have a good talk with Pei Youguang." Xue Jing said softly.

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