"Wan Xing..." Lin Qiang glared at the lead boy through gritted teeth.

Wan Fang shoved through the crowd and rushed in front of Wan Xing. "You hit Su Yan? Wan Xing, don't go too far! My business is none of yours! Get lost! Get out of here!"

Wan Fang screamed hysterically at Wan Xing. She was furious beyond belief. Seeing Su Yan hurt broke her heart, and seeing the culprit filled her with hatred and guilt. Why did she have a brother like this? He always thought he was so capable, that he was protecting her—but she would rather have no protection at all than this kind of violent protection. She felt ashamed, ashamed before Su Yan. And it was more than just Su Yan. Ever since they were little, no boy who liked her had ever ended well; Wan Xing had greeted every one of them with his fists.

Wan Xing's eyes widened at his sister's furious scolding. Impatiently, he pulled Wan Fang aside. "Move it. What the hell does a girl like you know? If I don't teach Su Yan a lesson, then I'm not Wan Xing. He embarrassed you in public on New Year's Day last year, then embarrassed me afterward. Isn't he the top student? Let's see if I don't beat him so badly he won't dare leave the house again. Begging won't help. Who am I doing this for? Isn't it to help you save face?"

"Don't do anything reckless! You'll get expelled!" Lin Qiang shouted anxiously.

Wan Xing burst out laughing. "So what if I get expelled? I'm just killing time anyway. I don't even want to attend this shitty school anymore... Urgh..."

"Ah!" Wan Fang screamed. Behind the boys, Chen Wanwan's face turned pale as she immediately pulled out her phone and dialed.

Su Yan's long leg shot straight into Wan Xing's stomach. Wan Xing doubled over and did not raise his head for a long while, looking as though he were clutching Su Yan's leg and refusing to let go.

Su Yan drew back his knee, pulled out his leg, and kicked Wan Xing in the stomach again. Caught off guard, Wan Xing took two blows in a row and immediately collapsed onto the ground in agony, groaning nonstop.

"Fuck! Pretty boy's got some moves." The athletic students who had come with Wan Xing sneered. They were tall and powerfully built. The five in front were all over 192 centimeters tall, while even the shortest ones in the back stood at 180 centimeters. Because they trained regularly, their arms and legs were packed with strength. Standing there, they formed a wall.

Lin Qiang, standing beside Su Yan, went pale and involuntarily stepped back twice. In front of these people, he truly felt tiny.

The athletic student at the front had thick lips, dark skin, and a flamboyant red tracksuit. He looked down at Su Yan as though a gorilla were looking at a monkey.

"I don't know any of you. We have no grievances between us. If you don't want this to blow up and end up with disciplinary action, you'd better stay out of other people's business. This isn't the mafia. You don't need to play brotherhood games here." Su Yan lightly wiped the blood from his temple. Blood streamed down, staining his right eye red before running all the way to his chin and neck.

Thick Lips frowned. Su Yan had been caught off guard at first, kicked into the railing and hit his head, yet he had not made a sound even when blood began flowing. Now he had knocked Wan Xing down with two kicks, and he could still speak so calmly. Since when were top students this fierce? Weren't they all bookworms who went weak in the knees at the sight of violent people?

"I already called the teacher. You thugs are fighting at school, so you'll definitely face disciplinary action!" Chen Wanwan gripped her phone and glared viciously at the troublemakers.

"Shut your mouth, bitch. Believe me, I'll knock you down right now." An athletic student at the back snapped at her without any restraint. Chen Wanwan's face flushed red with anger. "Try it if you've got the guts. Who do you think you are? A bunch of idiots who grew taller but didn't grow any brains. This is our class hallway. You come here causing trouble, and you think you're in the right? Wan Fang, control your brother. If he loves fighting and causing trouble so much, what the hell is he even studying for? He should get out of this school already."

Wan Xing, who had been knocked down, finally recovered somewhat. His face twisted savagely as he clutched his stomach and struggled to his feet. He glared at Su Yan with blazing fury. If he could, he truly wanted to punch Su Yan until he coughed blood. But his whole body hurt now, and he had no strength left. Only resentment burned in his heart, with nowhere to go.

"I'm begging you, stop causing trouble! Stop fighting, okay? Su Yan didn't do anything. What right do you have to hit him? Do you want to worry Mom and Dad to death?" Wan Fang grabbed Wan Xing, trying to drag him away, but he easily shook her off. Furious, he said, "I don't like the sight of him—that's enough. Get the hell out of my way. Xu Wei, did you come here just to stand around and watch? If none of you are going to do anything, why did you come with me?"

Thick Lips frowned, his voice low. "I really didn't want to bring my brothers here with you. If I didn't come, you'd get pissed off. I must've been stupid to bring people here as a favor to you. If you wanted to teach someone a lesson, you could've intercepted him outside school. I'd do that a hundred times if you asked. God knows what was wrong with you—you had to do it at school. You're not afraid of getting expelled, but we still want to attend sports school."

"Quit your fucking whining! If you didn't want to come, then don't come. You came and now you're still talking shit!" Wan Xing roared.

Thick Lips snorted. "We came to back you up."

"Get lost!"

Thick Lips immediately left with his men. After they had gone quite a distance, he turned back to look at Su Yan. "You'd better not be alone outside school. We didn't make a move today, but that doesn't mean we won't outside."

Su Yan laughed arrogantly and mockingly. "You want to make Su Yan, the undefeated lone hero, famous?"

The athletic students instantly flared up, nearly unable to stop themselves from rushing over with their fists raised. Thick Lips stopped them and said darkly, "Watch yourself from now on."
