Class Cadres

"Damn, his face was covered in blood and it was still 'nothing serious'? Those bastards really deserve a beating," Liang Kui cursed furiously.

Chen Wanwan was displeased. "The school will handle this. Don't get so worked up."

Liang Kui grunted and could not be bothered to say more to Chen Wanwan. Fighting and throwing punches were things women would never understand; they opposed all violence. But boys were different. No matter what they fought over, they had to fight for their pride. Today, it was Su Yan, but it would have been the same for anyone in the class. If someone came looking for trouble and Liang Kui was there, he would definitely step in without hesitation!

Class Cadres

Chen Wanwan tugged Liang Kui to leave, but he shook his head. "You go on first. I'm going to check on Su Yan."

Chen Wanwan frowned. "You're not planning to egg Su Yan on to get revenge, are you? You'd better stay out of this kind of violence."

"I know what I'm doing." Liang Kui was unhappy as he turned and headed for the ward. Chen Wanwan was furious that he would not listen to her, and she turned and left the hospital.

Su Yan's forehead was wrapped in gauze, and the blood on his face had already been cleaned off.

"Feeling better?" Liang Kui asked casually.

Su Yan nodded. "Once this bottle is finished, I can leave."

"Su Yan, I'll go back with you later. No one's home at your place, so I'll take care of you." Lin Qiang sighed. He felt guilty. They were friends, yet he had not helped Su Yan at all. Other than studying, he was useless.

"Thanks, but it's only a cut on my forehead. It's nothing. Tomorrow, I'll still eat and go to school as usual. Teacher Ma, isn't that right?"

Teacher Ma snorted with a dark expression. "Are you planning to take sick leave? Of course you're going to school."

"Heh, see? That's what I said." Su Yan smiled.

"If something like this happens again, you must notify the teacher earlier. I'll make the principal punish those bastards properly." Teacher Ma repeatedly reminded him. What happened today had angered him so badly his stomach hurt. The best student in his class had been beaten into the hospital. If the school did not give him an explanation, he would fight the principal to the bitter end.

"Those cocky bastards! Tomorrow I'll get someone to deal with them and beat them until they can't even recognize their own mothers!" Liang Kui promised with great vigor. Teacher Ma's stomach hurt even worse when he heard that. He slapped Liang Kui on the shoulder. "Is that how a good student should act? Is that how a role model should act? Taking a little loss isn't scary. What's scary is dragging yourself down with them. Liang Kui, if you dare cause trouble, I won't let you off."

Liang Kui's teeth ached at once, and he said weakly, "...I wasn't planning to cause trouble." Since when did I become a good student? A role model, too?

"After being bitten by a pack of mad dogs, there's no need for us to deliberately bite them back." Su Yan's fingers danced nimbly over his phone's keys as he calmly reached his conclusion.

Those words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Liang Kui's boiling anger. Even Teacher Ma awkwardly fell silent.

Su Yan added, "The main culprit is in the ward next door. As for revenge, I've already had mine."

Wan Xing had taken two kicks to the stomach. He was reportedly still waiting for the scan results, his stomach hurting constantly, and no one knew what was going on inside.

"Yeah, Wan Xing was hurt pretty badly... Pursuing this any further wouldn't do Su Yan any good. Su Yan is alone and has to study hard. How could he keep getting tangled up with those sports students? It's much easier for sports students to get into university than it is for us." Lin Qiang agreed. Since Su Yan wanted to let things settle, everything would be easier. If Su Yan had the same temperament as Liang Kui, he could forget about having a peaceful high school life.

Liang Kui did not say a word after hearing that. He turned around and left the hospital.

Those who walked different paths could not make plans together; when words did not align, even half a sentence was too much.

Something like this might happen again in the future. If he meddled in even the slightest bit of unnecessary business, then he would not be Liang Kui!

The next morning, Su Yan arrived at school with Lin Qiang. The gauze still wrapped around Su Yan's head made him a conspicuous injured patient. The entire school knew that Su Yan, the top-ranked first-year student, had been taught a lesson the previous night. Even his head had been split open. Some quietly felt it was unfair, while others secretly cheered. The surrounding whispers did not affect Su Yan's mood in the slightest.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, school officially began.

The homeroom teacher smiled. "Since everyone's here, let's hold our customary class meeting at the beginning of the semester."

At the mention of a class meeting, quite a few students looked delighted. The first class meeting of the new semester meant the class cadres would be reassigned.

"First, I have a school decision to announce. For the sake of everyone's studies and the school's atmosphere, closed-campus management will begin this semester."

As soon as he said that, the room erupted.

Closed-campus management—just hearing it was enough to make everyone miserable.

Liang Kui immediately cursed under his breath, his brows knitting into a deep frown.

"Students who live far from school must board and move into the dormitories as soon as possible. We will carefully investigate students who commute. If someone is late repeatedly, that student must board. From now on, commuting students and boarding students will be distinguished by their school badges. Red badges are for boarders, while blue badges are for commuters. Other than Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, boarding students may not leave campus freely. If you need to go out, you must request leave. This semester, several students will be chosen as student representatives and will be responsible for checking whether badges are worn every day."

Living far from school meant needing more than half an hour by vehicle. For these students, morning self-study and evening self-study were daily ordeals, and safety concerns made both the school and parents uneasy. There were only two choices: board at school or skip evening self-study. But when everyone else attended evening self-study, could you really not go?
