Beat Them Every Time I See Them

A perfectly good meal had ended in such a scene. Su Ke and Li Feifei remained in their original seats; the meal Su Ke had bought had been donated to Li Daxing, and Li Feifei had lost her appetite as well.

"Let's go! Let's go eat outside!" Su Ke stood up. This time, Li Feifei didn't refuse. Perhaps a twinge of guilt was at work, for she followed him obediently, looking for all the world like a little wife.

The cafeteria was already lively enough; some students had even snapped a few photos with their phones. After all, the only topics of conversation on campus were fighting and dating, and this incident clearly covered both. Moreover, it seemed to involve the son of the Dean of Students and the school beauty of No. 17 High School—just thinking about it felt thrilling.

There were always a few restaurants near the school gates. Although the prices were slightly higher than the school cafeteria, business was still good. Each of them ordered a bowl of California Butter Noodles. Smelling the rising steam and fragrance, Han Feng finally truly relaxed.

"Since I helped you win that fight, are we square now?" To be honest, Su Ke hadn't really exerted much effort in dealing with those three sports students; it had barely counted as a warm-up.

"Pfft, in your dreams, you pervert! How could things be that cheap!" Li Feifei was surprised that she didn't feel any repulsion toward this violent boy, and she wasn't even as nervous as she had been a moment ago. She raised her small fist and shook it at Su Ke, saying with a show of defiance, "You were the one who said you'd agree to any request earlier. You can't go back on your word!"

Her fair, jade-like arms, her delicate little fist, and her pouting lips made Li Feifei look incredibly cute, while her jet-black hair and flawless, porcelain-like skin made her appear quite pure.

"Fine, fine, you tell me. If I don't get expelled, I'll definitely agree!" Su Ke spread his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Don't worry, you won't be expelled!" It was as if Li Feifei already had a solution, and she spoke with great certainty. "But I haven't thought of it yet!"

Just as Su Ke said he agreed, the notification sound for the mission completion rang in his mind. He hadn't expected that a verbal agreement would count as completing the mission. His mood instantly improved, and a smile appeared on his face: "Alright, just come tell me whenever you think of it!"

After he finished speaking, Li Feifei nodded with great satisfaction: "Hmph, at least you're sensible!"

Suddenly, Su Ke looked at Li Feifei's youthful, beautiful face and was momentarily dazed. Without realizing it, he had started to enjoy this feeling—it was very warm and very sweet.

Imperceptibly, the sense of estrangement between Li Feifei and Su Ke had vanished. The two of them were even chatting, talking, and laughing like old friends.

It was no surprise that before the first class of the afternoon, Su Ke was summoned to the principal's office. This was his first time entering the office building in his three years of high school, and his first time facing the big boss behind No. 17 High School.

The principal's office was spacious and bright. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw a large, high-end executive desk. Principal Liu Peihua sat behind it, and behind him was a tall bookshelf filled with large, beautifully bound volumes, giving the entire office a thick, scholarly atmosphere.

The Dean of Students was sitting on the sofa to the side. At this moment, Dean Li Xueliang was frowning as he looked Su Ke up and down. Beside him, Li Daxing stood honestly, his face bruised and swollen; he kept his head down after seeing Su Ke enter.

"Good afternoon, Principal!" Su Ke took a deep breath. After an entire lunch break of consideration, he wasn't as worried as he had been before. Having extracted the reward of "High School English Proficiency (Intermediate)," he believed that with his current grades, transferring schools wouldn't be too difficult, though it would worry his parents.

Liu Peihua looked to be in his early forties, with a rectangular face and gold-rimmed glasses. His skin was quite fair. He nodded: "Su Ke, is it? Why did you get into a fight in the cafeteria this noon?" No emotion could be detected in his voice.

"Principal, it was Li Daxing who got drunk and started acting crazy, trying to hit me. I only fought back out of necessity. The students who were eating there can all testify for me!" Su Ke had decided to go all out. Shedding his usual weak demeanor, he looked Liu Peihua straight in the eye and spoke with a firm, ringing tone.

"Li Daxing, did you drink at noon?" At this, Liu Peihua looked toward Li Daxing, frowning slightly. He didn't seem to like this Li Daxing very much.

"Principal Liu, our cafeteria doesn't allow drinking. It's strictly prohibited. How could Li Daxing possibly have been drinking?" Li Xueliang, sitting on the sofa, immediately began to defend his son.

"Principal, you can see Li Daxing for yourself. Do you think I would have been able to beat him if he hadn't been drinking?" Su Ke said, turning his head to glance at him. His gaze swept over Li Daxing's face, which was bruised and swollen like a pig's head. At that single look, Li Daxing shuddered and actually took a step back.

Although Liu Peihua didn't say anything, he clearly agreed with Su Ke's point. Even though Li Daxing was only sixteen, he had already grown to a height of 1.83 meters and was broad-shouldered and thick-necked; compared to Su Ke, he looked like a black bear.

"Principal Liu, I've looked at Su Ke's file. His grades have always been poor, and now he's involved in fighting and brawling. If such a black sheep isn't dealt with immediately, I'm afraid it will affect our school's image!" The Dean's voice rose significantly, and he was actually putting pressure on the principal.

Only then did Su Ke glance at him from the corner of his eye. Although he had seen Li Xueliang before, he had never had a deep impression of him. Now, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, Li Xueliang looked gloomy with high cheekbones and deep-set eye sockets, making him look even older than Liu Peihua.

"You are the Dean of Students; how do you suggest we handle this?" Liu Peihua picked up the teacup on his desk, took a light sip, and only spoke slowly after appearing to consider the matter.

"Su Ke openly assaulted others in the school cafeteria. The nature of the act is extremely vile, and the consequences are extremely serious. I suggest we expel him immediately to serve as a warning to others!" Li Xueliang spoke with righteous indignation, which only made Su Ke despise him more.

"Dean Li, I said Li Daxing was drunk and causing trouble. If you don't believe me, I can bring in a breathalyzer. We'll know if I'm lying once we test him!" Su Ke turned his head to stare at Li Xueliang, his fists clenched tightly. If the final result was his expulsion, Su Ke wouldn't mind giving this Dean a beating before he left.

However, Li Xueliang seemed to know he was in the wrong; he turned a deaf ear to Su Ke's words and didn't make a move. Su Ke had no choice but to step back slightly, standing beside Li Daxing.

"Do you believe that every time I see you, I'll beat you?" Su Ke's voice was very low, audible only to Li Daxing beside him.

"What?" Li Daxing's face was full of terror. The events of the afternoon had scared the wits out of him. Although he had always been fearless in school—not only because of his hulking frame but also because he was the Dean's son—he was, after all, only a sixteen-year-old child. Even now, the image of Su Ke kicking and hitting him kept flashing through his mind.

Hearing Su Ke's words, he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Su Ke was quick and followed him directly: "If I get expelled, I will definitely beat you every time I see you, until you're too ashamed to face anyone. Do you believe me?"

He could see the expression on Li Daxing's face becoming increasingly fearful, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.
