In his eyes, cowards would always be cowards, even if you gave them a knife, they could only use it to cut vegetables.
At this mont, not only was Xiao Zheng’s gaze focused on Zhang Tao, but Chu Xiaoran was also influenced by what Xiao Zheng had said.
At that mont, she felt as if Xiao Zheng had beco a different person, so much more masculine, stirring a ripple in the heart of this girl with the soul of a cute young girl.
"Dignity is sothing you fight for yourself, I choose dignity!" Suddenly, Zhang Tao yelled out loud.
Taking the water bottle from Xiao Zheng, he stord over to Deng Rongguang with a darkened face.
Deng Rongguang was startled.
The person who had always been weak and incapable, one he had bullied, was actually walking towards him.
"Zhang, are you looking to die?"
Deng Rongguang roared.
"Fuck you!"
Zhang Tao stepped on Deng Rongguang’s stomach, knocking Deng Rongguang to the ground.
"Deng, did you really think Laozi was a cowardly wimp? Laozi was just sparing you, did you really think I wouldn’t lay a hand on you!!"
Zhang Tao threw the water bottle in Deng Rongguang’s face.
He started to puml Deng Rongguang with his fists, as if all the grievances he had endured for so long had erupted.
"Ow, ow..."
Deng Rongguang howled in pain.
"I’m telling you, if you ever bully again, I’ll kill you!"
Zhang Tao grabbed his collar, his voice squeezed out between clenched teeth.
One could imagine the hatred he had for Deng Rongguang.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Just then, a middle-aged male teacher appeared from the opposite side of the dormitory building.
The man wore glasses, was corpulent, and pointed over at Zhang Tao.
"Director Fang, save !"
Deng Rongguang cried out loudly.
The middle-aged male teacher strode over to them.
When he saw Zhang Tao splashing water on Deng Rongguang, he beca furious and scolded Zhang Tao, "What are you lot doing? Why are you bullying a classmate?"
"Director, we..."
Liu Dabao started to explain.
But the man waved his hand sharply, glared coldly at him and said, "Don’t say anything, co to the office with . This ti I’m definitely recording a major derit against you!"
After speaking, he turned and left, not even giving them a chance to explain...
......
Inside the school’s administrative office, nurous school leaders and teachers had gathered.
Director Fang, livid, pointed to Deng Rongguang’s face and said, "Look at this, just look. His face is as swollen as a pig’s head. You’re from the sa school, did you have to hit him so hard?"
"He threw the first punch!" Chu Xiaoran stood up and exclaid, "We were rely acting in self-defense."
"Self-defense? Is splashing water in his face and humiliating him self-defense?"
Director Fang glared fiercely at Chu Xiaoran.
He had already categorized Chu Xiaoran and the others as bad students.
"Oh dear, Director Fang, you must stand up for . Not only did they hit , but they also insulted physically and emotionally. I ca here to learn, not to be beaten up."
Deng Rongguang lanted his grievance with tears.
The school leaders present also looked at him with sympathy.
"Director Fang, is there perhaps so misunderstanding here?" At this mont, a middle-aged female teacher stepped forward to speak. She was the academic advisor for Zhang Tao and Liu Dabao, and it pained her to see her students involved in a fight.
But as their instructor, she knew her students’ character very well.
At least in her eyes, Zhang Tao and Liu Dabao weren’t bad students.
"A misunderstanding?" Director Fang was furious, "Teacher Gao, I witnessed everything with my own eyes, how could there be any misunderstanding?"
Moreover, Deng Rongguang was his student, and given Deng Rongguang’s family was well-off, often treating him to als and outings for "healthcare services," he was certainly protective of Deng Rongguang.
"Principal Ma, these students’ behavior was extrely bad. You see, how should we deal with this?"
Director Fang turned his gaze toward the vice principal of the school, who was drinking tea.
Principal Ma didn’t even look at Zhang Tao and the others before saying, "Record a serious derit."
"What? A serious derit?"
Zhang Tao and the rest were dumbfounded.
It was obviously Deng Rongguang who had started the trouble, and yet they were the ones getting a serious derit?
"Principal Ma, isn’t it a bit too hasty to issue a serious derit before things have been clarified?" Teacher Gao was vehently defending Zhang Tao and his friends.
Having a serious derit on one’s record from a university was like a huge stain on one’s life.
Graduates recomnded by Zhonghai University were almost invariably snatched up by companies. If they knew these graduates had a bad record in school, it could derail their life trajectory, as if they were ex-convicts carrying the stain of prison for life.
"Teacher Gao, I know Zhang Tao and the others are your students, but they made such a big mistake, you can’t be this biased, can you?" Director Fang sneered.
Teacher Gao imdiately responded with a grave look on his face: "Director Fang, you are a director of the school, after all. Every issue has a cause, and you’re drawing conclusions without even clarifying the cause. Isn’t that a bit too arrogant?"
"You!"
Director Fang was so angry he almost cursed out loud.
Teacher Gao cast a cold glance at him and ignored him.
Director Fang’s character was known to everyone in the school, which was why Teacher Gao didn’t like him either.
"Zhang Tao, you tell us what happened. I believe Principal Ma will see through to the truth," Teacher Gao said, putting Principal Ma on the spot by elevating his role in the matter.
Principal Ma, who was already disinterested in getting involved, was taken aback.
Zhang Tao stepped forward and said, "It’s like this: because I had borrowed two thousand yuan from Deng Rongguang, I clearly paid him back last month, but then Deng Rongguang told that I owed additional interest. And the rate at which the interest was supposed to have increased was simply unbearable..."
"Nonsense! Director Fang, Principal Ma, Zhang Tao is spouting nonsense!"
Deng Rongguang stripped away all pretenses and defended himself, "I lent Zhang Tao the two thousand yuan out of classmate loyalty and never asked him for a penny of interest. And after Zhang Tao borrowed the money, he didn’t even greet , so I went to find him today. I didn’t expect that guy behind him to actually hit !"
Deng Rongguang glared at the silent Xiao Zheng with a resentful expression.
"Without sha, one is invincible. You’re the most shaless person I’ve ever seen," exclaid Chu Xiaoran, who had the craftiness of soone beyond her years, sighing and shaking her head.
Zhang Tao wanted to say sothing but ultimately didn’t. He knew that no matter what he said, Deng Rongguang would never admit to it.
"By the way, who are you? And you!"
It was only then that Director Fang realized Chu Xiaoran and Xiao Zheng’s identities.
"My na is Chu Xiaoran, I’m a new student," Xiao Ran introduced herself.
"And him?"
Director Fang turned to Xiao Zheng.
If Chu Xiaoran and the others were students, he could believe that, but Xiao Zheng didn’t look like a student no matter how he looked at him.
"He’s my little follower."
Just as Xiao Zheng was about to speak, Chu Xiaoran said cheerfully.
"Little follower? What kind of little follower?" The leaders and the teachers were puzzled.
"Just my personal bodyguard, you know? Can’t you understand? Stupid," said Chu Xiaoran lightheartedly, laughing.
The teachers: "..."
(In the text, the university that Chu Xiaoran was admitted to was changed to Zhonghai University.)
