You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?

He took the girl to the infirmary for a simple treatment.

Perhaps due to her peculiar constitution, the ice pack had significantly reduced the swelling on her face by the time the lesson was almost over.

[Host, Chu Yashi's father is the principal of this school. Aren't you afraid that she'll take revenge after you humiliated her so badly?] the system on his shoulder pointed out the potential danger.

Ji Mu wiped his fingers with the free disinfectant wipes from the infirmary.

Since he had slapped Chu Yashi twice earlier, his hands were covered with various powders.

He had to clean up properly.

"I even beat up the dean, why should I be afraid of her?"

If soldiers come, use generals to block them; if water comes, use earth to cover it.

Since he had already insulted someone, he might as well insult them thoroughly.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll switch schools with the heroine. We don't have to stay here."

The worst outcome wasn't that bad, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Ji Mu had always been very clear about such things.

The system was speechless.

He really was the type to fight back if provoked.

But if you think about it, when you are bullied at school, you have to take a tough stance and fight back to the end.

Even if it was like hitting a stone with an egg, he had to make sure that the bully was covered in blood.

Besides, the host himself was no easy target.

The system clicked its tongue.

It hoped that Chu Yashi wouldn't be that stupid.

...

In the afternoon.

The bell for the third lesson had just rung.

The teacher was about to start explaining today's lesson when the homeroom teacher appeared at the door at an inopportune moment.

"Ruan Qingqing, come to the office."

The girl's fingers hidden in her sleeves tightened slightly.

Under the curious eyes of her classmates, she slowly stood up and walked out of the classroom.

"Teacher, is something wrong?"

"Did you have a conflict with students from another class this morning?"

"Yes."

Looking at the well-behaved girl in front of her, the teacher sighed softly.

"Let's go."

She patted her shoulder, reassuring her gently.

"It's okay."

Ruan Qingqing's eyelids dropped slightly as she realized the impending storm.

She instinctively looked back at the class.

Seeing the boy's face, her panicked heart began to calm.

"Okay."

...

Judging by the teacher's demeanor, it seemed like Chu Yashi had brought her parents, the system speculated, feeling that it was probably right.

It tugged at the boy's ear.

But why didn't they call you, host?

Ji Mu stopped twirling the pen.

He knew that Chu Yashi would seek revenge at some point, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly.

After roughly figuring out the reason, Ji Mu rubbed his temples.

It seemed that he had to follow and check things out.

With such an introverted personality, the girl was bound to suffer.

Thinking about this, he didn't hesitate for long. A few minutes after Ruan Qingqing followed the teacher out, he raised his hand.

"Teacher, I need to go to the bathroom."

----

"Our Yashi is such a well-behaved child, and she was bullied like this at school. Clearly, the problem lies with that student."

In the office on the third floor of the classroom building...

The woman, dressed like a noblewoman, looked at the plainly dressed girl with disdain.

"Call her parents immediately. This is not an easy matter to resolve."

"Dear parents, conflicts between students are quite common," the homeroom teacher mediated gently.

"Besides, my student has always been well-behaved and not the type to cause trouble. Could there be a misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be?"

Chu Yashi, sitting in her seat, spoke angrily.

"My face is swollen from her slap. Didn't you see the big red mark?"

Her father was still on a business trip abroad, so she didn't dare to target the bespectacled one for the time being. But that didn't mean that she couldn't go after that wretch, Ruan Qingqing!

After all, the two of them were in cahoots.

The injuries and humiliation she suffered at the hands of the bespectacled one would all be blamed on Ruan Qingqing.

"Mom, look at this, my face is all bruised," Chu Yashi said, suppressing her malicious thoughts and clinging to the woman's arm with a pitiful expression.

"How am I supposed to show my face in public for the next few days?"

The noblewoman was heartbroken. "Don't worry, Mother will see that justice is done for you."

She turned to the dean with an icy voice.

"Mr. Zhang, you see how serious this bullying incident is. If the school doesn't take strict action, my husband and I will reconsider our partnership with your institution."

Cancel the partnership? That wouldn't do!

If that happened, he wouldn't get any of the benefits.

Concerned about his own little nest egg, the dean didn't dare be careless and quickly agreed obsequiously.

"Mrs. Chu, rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory solution."

After speaking, he looked at the girl, his gaze becoming cold and stern.

His demeanor changed back to that of an all-powerful principal.

"Why did you attack your classmate for no reason? What happened to all the manners and etiquette your teachers taught you?"

Ruan Qingqing silently clenched her fists.

"I... I didn't hit her."

"Didn't hit her?"

The dean sneered.

"Are you suggesting that Chu Yashi would lie? What good would that do her?"

Faced with this unreasonable accusation, the girl fell silent.

Yes, what good would it do others?

But the malice and purposefulness of bullies doesn't need a reason.

It's often this kind of "willfulness" that pushes the bully deeper into the abyss.

"One hand can't clap."

"Why does he pick on you and not others?"

"Is there something wrong with you?"

".........."

No matter how many words you use, they become powerless in the face of such justified questions.

She remembered the times in middle school when she was ostracized and scolded by teachers instead.

She slowly released her grip, suddenly not wanting to say anything more.

"Mr. Zhang, this is unfair. Everything should be based on evidence," the homeroom teacher, who could not stand the Dean's blatant favoritism, spoke up for fairness.

"Since Ruan Qingqing said she didn't hit anyone, shouldn't we investigate the incident thoroughly to find out who is lying?"

"Evidence? What evidence do we need?" the noblewoman replied unhappily. "Isn't the injury on my daughter's face evidence enough?"

Chu Yashi arrogantly replied, "Who can prove that it wasn't that wretch Ruan Qingqing who hit me?

Outside the door, the system that had just arrived and overheard their shameless conversation was utterly shocked.

Wow, these people have once again redefined my understanding of shamelessness.

With such villainous logic, anyone would feel inferior.

Host, you must be careful.

Ji Mu remained calm.

"It doesn't matter. I'll take action."

It's all about being shameless and arguing irrationally. Let's see who can be more disgusting!

He pressed the door handle and pushed the door open.

A creak.

The sudden sound was out of place in the tense atmosphere and immediately drew everyone's attention.

"I can prove that Ruan Qingqing is not lying."

Facing their instinctive glances, Ji Mu lazily leaned against the door frame and drawled.

"Because the slap mark on Chu Yashi's face was made by me."

"Ji Mu?"

The teacher frowned.

She didn't miss what he said and couldn't help but feel another headache coming on.

"What are you doing here?"

Why was he causing trouble out of the blue?

Ji Mu shrugged. "Nothing much, just trying to stop certain people from falsely accusing others."

Oh no, why is he here!

Seeing the boy suddenly appear, Chu Yashi's face changed drastically, a strong sense of foreboding rising within her.

The Dean's expression was also unpleasant.

That boy is definitely here to cause trouble again. I need to get rid of him fast.

"Student, you can't just walk around during class."@@novelbin@@

Knowing the boy's bold nature, the man feigned displeasure and tried to regain control of the situation.

"Go back to your class right now."

"Ji Mu?"

The noblewoman's eyes flickered when she heard the teacher address the boy. She seemed to remember something.

"Isn't he the one who ranked first in the recent six-school joint examination?"

He doesn't seem to have any background to speak of, just an ordinary commoner.

She immediately relaxed and returned to her former arrogant attitude.

"Even if he's first, he has no right to protect a bully."

After all, no matter how good his grades are, he's still just a commoner.

When he enters society in the future, won't he still have to serve people like us?

"Call their parents right away. I want to see what kind of parents would raise such an ill-mannered child."

That familiar haughty tone...

That's not good!

The memory of that humiliating incident flashed through the Dean's mind, making his scalp tingle.

"Ji Mu, wait..."

He reached out to stop him, but it was obviously too late.

"Tsk, I already said, the injury on Chu Yashi's face was caused by me."

The boy's lazy voice rang out first.

With his hands in his pockets, he walked over to the woman with an air of indifference.

"Old woman, are you deaf?"

The Dean's vision went black and he almost fainted.

Disaster!
