227— Cutie Chen Actually Punched Someone?

Most students in the elite class knew that Li Yuchen's father got married to Han Yichen's mother recently, which was why the two of them went back home for a few days.

But what they didn't understand was how happy the two boys— particularly Li Yuchen— was with the development.

Since they returned, almost every one of Li Yuchen's sentences began with "My Brother...." It was like he could wait to tell the world that he had a new brother.

At their age, things like stepmothers and stepbrothers were huge sources of embarrassment in their opinion. Where had they seen someone like Li Yuchen who proudly flaunted it?

But most of them chose to say nothing. Anyway, it wasn't them that suddenly gained new family members. It didn't matter one way or the other.

But apparently, not everyone thought so.

On this day, they were in the middle of Computer class, and Teacher Long had just praised Li Yuchen for answering a question correctly.

Although some of the others could answer it as well, no one took Teacher Long's slight favouritism to heart and they were all smiling. After all, it was a fact that Li Yuchen was truly gifted in programming.

Besides, no one wanted to make an enemy out of him.

Li Yuchen smiled and said, "Teacher Long, my brother also figured it out easily. It wasn't that difficult."

Teacher Long beamed and agreed with what he said. These days, basically whatever Li Yuchen said was always good.

After his successive winning feats at the programming competitions, Teacher Long had become a true fan of his. They were even designing a website together for the students, and the more they worked together, the more Teacher Long marveled.

This was no ordinary student, this was a genius!

After the class, Teacher Long wanted to speak to Li Yuchen, but he was called away in a hurry. After he left, Li Yuchen sat down in relief.

As much as he loved programming, it was tiring to code almost every waking hour. He really couldn't keep up with Teacher Long's enthusiasm. That look of excitement as if he was on drugs, was terrifying.

Since he had gotten his freedom, Li Yuchen turned to his desk mate and began to chat in a carefree manner. Even if said desk mate replied with only one or two words everytime, it was enough to keep the conversation going.

"Brother, what do you think my Goddess is doing now?"

"Who knows?"

"I hope Dad isn't disturbing her."

Han Yichen had no answer to that, but Li Yuchen continued chattering, "I can't wait to go back home. I'll make sure I spend quality time with her."

"Sounds good," was what Han Yichen said, without taking his eyes off the book in his hands.

What he didn't say was that it would probably be impossible. With the husband guarding against them so much, as if they would snatch his wife away, how would he be able to "spend quality time with her"?

Li Yuchen pouted. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, a voice, clearly pitched high to make itself heard, said, "I don't understand how some people can be so happy just because their father got a new wife. Don't they understand what a stepmother means?"

The class that wasn't originally noisy, fell dead silent. In the entire class, only Jiu Renxin's chuckle was heard.

Li Yuchen and Han Yichen frowned at the same time, but didn't say anything. Li Yuchen's thought was simple. If he spoke, wouldn't it encourage the speaker to keep saying nonsense?

But the boy became bolder when he noticed that they were not talking. He proudly continued.

"Let me tell you guys, a stepmother will turn a father into a stepfather! And who knows what kind of person the woman would be? Maltreatment is a small thing, but what if she makes the father hate the son?"

By now Li Yuchen was boiling. He didn't care at first, but absolutely no one was allowed to say nonsense about his Goddess. She was not that kind of person!

So he got up and said coldly, "Who are you talking to?"

The boy, Yu Bowen was a day student and native of City M. Naturally he knew about the influence of the Li family and the fact that they could not be trifled with.

The anger on Li Yuchen's face made him afraid, but he quickly reasoned it out. Yu Bowen actually spoke in a fit of jealousy earlier, but now he convinced himself that he was saying this for Li Yuchen's own good, and that when he understood him, he would naturally not be angry anymore.

Even better, it could take their friendship to a new level, earning him prestige among his family members. It was as if he could already see himself as Li Yuchen's right-hand man.

One had to wonder how someone like this got into the elite class.

So Yu Bowen looked at Li Yuchen and pretended to say sincerely, "Yuchen, what I said is true. From ancient times, fathers really turn into stepfathers after a remarriage. And you should be careful. You have to guard your inheritance against all outsiders."

Fists clenched, Li Yuchen let out a threatening sound, "Oh really?"

Unaware of the danger, Yu Bowen continued to persuade earnestly, "I'm telling you, really. You have to be very careful. That stepmother, you don't know what she's up to, but I can tell you that no stepmother is a good thing —"

His words were forcefully cut off due to lack of air. Li Yuchen's punch directly knocked the air of him, causing him to take a few steps back and hit his back on a nearby table.

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped in shock. Cutie Chen actually punched someone? It was unbelievable!

It was as if the entire class was holding their breath.

Li Yuchen was still in a haze of anger and he walked towards Yu Bowen, but before he could land another punch, his fist was held in place by Han Yichen.

"You shouldn't do this." He said calmly.

Li Yuchen was aggrieved, "But didn't you hear what he said? He deserves to be beaten."

"And what will you tell them at home?"

Hearing this, Li Yuchen wilted slightly. If his father was summoned to the school to report him for school fighting, he would be very angry with him and punish him, that was for sure, but the person's reaction he cared more about was Pei Yueran's. She would be so disappointed.

But if he had to swallow this anger just like that, he would feel stifled!

While Li Yuchen stood and pondered, he didn't forget to glare at Yu Bowen, causing the latter to shrink his neck. His face hurt terribly, but he could not move to get help.

The discomfort could be imagined.

Then it seemed as if Li Yuchen had made up his mind to damn the consequences, because he moved again towards Yu Bowen who paled, but a teacher chose this moment to come in.
