Chapter 9 School Spirit

The junior sister's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried, and she looked so weak that I felt sorry for her.

She waved to Xue Jing from a distance, and smiled with a forced smile, as a greeting.

Seeing her like this, Xue Jing understood in his heart, and whispered to himself: "So that's it..."

"Huh? Why is this junior sister here? She's quite brave. She didn't even wait for lunch break to end, and ran directly to our class to find you." Li Ge was stunned.

He was a little nearsighted, and he didn't wear glasses at this time, so he didn't see the junior sister's face clearly. He just smiled at Xue Jing and said: "Be gentle when you refuse, don't hurt her heart too much. In fact, it's good to try to have a relationship. This big white leg is not an insult to you..."

Xue Jing didn't say much, just hummed, got up and walked out of the classroom.

Many people in the class noticed that there was such a pretty junior at the door, and since someone had just called out, they all knew that she was looking for Xue Jing. At this time, they all looked at Xue Jing as he walked out of the classroom.

After Xue Jing and the junior left together, the gossip fire was ignited in the class, and a wave of discussion broke out.

…

Xue Jing followed the junior to the stairs at the end of the corridor. At this time, because the class was about to start, the students had all entered the classroom, and there was no one else in the corridor.

"Let's go here."

Xue Jing said.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

When the junior heard Xue Jing speak, tears could not stop flowing.

"I'm sorry, senior, it's all my fault..."

She began to tell what happened. Because she cried so hard, her words were intermittent, and her emotional expression was a little difficult to understand, but Xue Jing did not urge her, but just listened to her patiently, and asked again from time to time if there were some things she really didn't understand.

After the other party told the whole story, Xue Jing finally understood what happened.

In short, this beautiful sophomore girl had a suitor in the same class named Pei Youguang.

This name is very famous in the attached middle school. Xue Jing has an impression that he is a school bully who can "call the wind and rain" in the school.

The problem still lies in the scene when the junior girl came to give him a towel during the physical test yesterday.

Yesterday, the matter of him taking the towel was told to Pei Youguang by the busybody. This morning, the other party loudly declared in the class that he would give Xue Jing a good lesson.

"..."

Although Xue Jing had a premonition of what happened when he saw the junior girl coming to him with tears in her eyes, he still felt a little amused after it was confirmed.

"Senior, I'm really sorry. I begged him for a long time not to trouble you, but he didn't listen at all..." The junior girl sobbed and kept wiping her tears.

Xue Jing: "..."

Are you sure this is not adding fuel to the fire?

He was a little speechless.

If he hadn't known that these half-grown kids didn't think things through, he would have suspected that this junior was deliberately fanning the flames.

This kind of young man who would think of using force to compete for power is obviously extremely impulsive. Hearing the person he likes pleading for others will only ignite the anger in his heart, and he will even subconsciously feel that he has done the right thing and caught the "weakness", otherwise the junior wouldn't be so scared.

But Xue Jing didn't blame her.

He nodded and said, "I know, you go back."

He paused again, "... This matter is not your fault, don't worry, I will handle it."

Is there a problem with the junior? Somewhat.

But it's not a big problem.

Even if Bao Si, Daji and Yang Guifei were wrong, the biggest blame would never fall on them.

"Senior..."

The junior was very moved.

"I have always been..."

She wanted to take this opportunity to say something, but found that Xue Jing turned around and walked towards his class, obviously not intending to listen to what she said next.

"..."

The schoolgirl understood what he meant. This was a seemingly cold but actually gentle rejection. She was silent for a while, laughed at herself, and left disappointed.

...

"So the person who troubled you was Pei Youguang?"

Li Ge pinched his chin, frowned after listening to Xue Jing's account of what happened.

"It's not good, Master Jing."

Xue Jing took out the Chinese textbook for the first class from his schoolbag, put it on the table, and responded casually: "What do you mean?"

"You don't get much exposure to these news, so you may not know that Pei Youguang is a very troublesome person."

Li Ge explained.

"Let me tell you this. If there had been a sorting hat when our affiliated high school enrolled, he could have reported directly to Azkaban."

"This guy is from the martial arts club. He bullies his classmates because he has practiced martial arts. Every now and then, you can hear that he beat up someone. I heard that he often molested girls."

Li Ge moved his chair and moved closer to Xue Jing, lowering his voice: "These are not the key points. I also heard that this guy has killed people and raped female classmates."

"I remember that last semester, a girl in the second grade class seven suddenly transferred to another school. It is said that she transferred because she was bullied by him."

Xue Jing frowned: "It must be fake. If he really did such a thing, how could he stay in school?"

Li Ge: "I thought so at first, but later I found out that the students he bullied didn't dare to tell their teachers and parents, and the school seemed to turn a blind eye."

"So I asked the second graders and found out that Pei Youguang's father worked for a ruling councillor and had a strong background."

"In fact, if you think about it, you will know how such a bully could enter our affiliated middle school if his background is not strong enough."

Ruling councillors are the theoretical top of the power pyramid in a city. There are about 30 people in the whole Qingcheng, including a chief and three deputies.

To be able to work under a councillor, it is indeed considered a powerful background.

Xue Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Has he killed anyone?"

Li Ge shook his head and said, "There is no specific statement on this point, but many people have seen Pei Youguang with a knife. If he dares to do such a thing, it is not surprising that he has killed someone."

"Let's tell the teacher. What if someone like Pei Youguang really kills you?"

Li Ge was very worried.

Xue Jing smiled.

It's very intimidating. When ordinary students hear this, they are probably scared to death by Pei Youguang.

However, Xue Jing doesn't think the other party is so scary.

There is a logic in the operation of the world. As long as the level of cognition reaches a certain level, many things can be easily seen through the appearance and the essence.

This kind of evil thing is an absolute taboo in human society. Not to mention that there is a father who works for the ruling councilor, even the ruling councilor himself cannot make a big fuss and wish that the whole world would know and do the same.

The existence at the top of power still needs to abide by the rules on the surface, let alone a second-rate school bully on campus?

Most students have not yet stepped into society and have insufficient cognitive level. They will feel afraid when they hear these rumors. They will add layer after layer of tiger skin to Pei Youguang in their hearts, and become more and more afraid of him.

Xue Jing, on the other hand, the more he heard, the more tiger skin he peeled off from the other party.

Some people, the more they lack something, the more they will emphasize it.

"Don't tell the teacher."

"I will have a good talk with Pei Youguang."

Xue Jing said softly.

The bell rang, and the head teacher, the Chinese teacher Du Shiwei, walked in.
