    Zhao Qin was used to being ttered, so her tone always had a strange, sarcastic edge to it. Ming Jing didn’t care, but Tao Xingxing couldn’t stand it and red at Zhao Qin.


    Zhao Qin squinted at Tao Xingxing and smirked: “Miss knows she’s good-looking, so there’s no use in ring at me like that. If you’re jealous, go find a mirror.”<div>


    “Hmph.” Tao Xingxing angrily stabbed at the rice in her te, imagining it as Zhao Qin’s face.


    Was it such a big deal to be good-looking? Why act so arrogant?


    Zhao Qin sighed: “Jiang Jinchen and Charles Gao have gone to university. Without those pretty boys around, suddenly everything seems so boring…”


    Tao Xingxing, for once, actually agreed with Zhao Qin and nodded: “The forum is currently holding the annual school beau and belle contest. Ming Jing, you’re definitely the most deserving belle. As for the school beau, after Jiang Jinchen and Charles Gao left, the remaining candidates are of mixed quality. The most likely candidate is your deskmate Song Yinzhang. If you both win, one school belle and one school beau sharing a desk, that’ll be just amazing.”


    Zhao Qin gave her a nce: “You’re acting like I don’t exist?”


    Tao Xingxing really wanted to say something sarcastic, but she just smiled and said: “Miss Zhao,st year, you lost to Zhu Xiangxiang. But why botherparing a rich and beautiful flower like yourself to amon little white flower? This year, losing to Ming Jing is not shameful at all. Can you imagine how prestigious that would be, huh?”


    “You do have a way with words…” Zhao Qin sneered.


    “But you’re right about one thing, losing to Zhu Xiangxiang was a disgrace. Losing to Ming Jing, on the other hand, is eptable, at least it’s not embarrassing.”


    The two girls were discussing the title of the school belle while Ming Jing ate quietly.


    Zhao Qin suddenly paused, then burst intoughter.


    “Are all the new students this feisty this year? So much fun, even more exciting than when I was a freshman.”<div>


    A group of boys walked into the cafeteria, led by a young man who stood out with his non-standard dress and colorful, half-long hair. He had an arrogant expression and was followed closely by a group of boys, all reduced to hisckeys under his swaggering dominance.


    As soon as this young man walked into the cafeteria, it was as if an ice cube had been thrown into boiling oil, causing amotion.


    Zhao Qin wasughing so hard she was crying, “The new students this year are too much fun, there’s going to be a good show.”


    Ming Jing nced at the scene with a hint of irritation. No matter how many times she saw it, Zhu Shaodan’s outfit was still an eyesore.


    Zhu Xiangxiang had just picked up her food and identally bumped into a boy.


    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Zhu Xiangxiang apologized politely.


    “Isn’t this the former school belle? Why are you all alone now? It breaks my heart to see you like this.” The boy sneered.


    Zhu Xiangxiang furrowed her brows and tried to leave, but the boy suddenly blocked her way. “Where are you going, our great school belle Zhu?”


    Calling her the school belle now was just ironic.


    “What do you want?”


    “My shoes are dirty. If the great school belle Zhu would deign to wipe them for me, I’ll let today’s incident slide.”<div>


    The other students were watching themotion, reveling in Zhu Xiangxiang’s misfortune.


    Qi An had once pursued Zhu Xiangxiang relentlessly; everyone in the school knew about it. To their surprise, Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t seem to care at all. She never even gave Qi An a nce, let alone a chance. Qi An’s pride was deeply wounded, and he never let anyone mention Zhu Xiangxiang in front of him again.


    This was Qi An taking his revenge on Zhu Xiangxiang out of resentment.


    Watching Zhu Xiangxiang being bullied by Qi An, everyone felt that she looked so pitiful. It was like a tiger that had been brought low by a dog. However, no one stepped forward to help her.


    Times had changed, and the title of school belle and Miss Zhu no longer belonged to Zhu Xiangxiang.


    Everyone looked in the direction of that person, who was sitting with Zhao Qin, chatting andughing. Their feelings became even moreplicated, mixed with a touch of fear.


    Zhu Xiangxiang’s face showed embarrassment as she finally remembered who the boy was. He had once been so passionate in his pursuit. How despicable he had be. “I’ve already apologized. Don’t go too far.”


    “Too far?” Qi An sneered. “You still think you’re Miss Zhu? Take a good look at yourself- you’re going to wipe these shoes one way or the other.”


    “Wow, you’ve got quite the attitude. Daring to make my sister wipe your shoes- are you really that eager for a beating?” A young man with multicolored hair emerged from the crowd. Not only was his hair eye-catching, but his non-mainstream outfit was also quite noticeable.


    Where did this kide from? Even Zhao Qin had to wear the school uniform. It was amazing that he was so bold.


    Qi An frowned and looked at him: “Who are you?”<div>


    “Shaodan?” Zhu Xiangxiang looked at him in surprise, then shook her head and said, “You should go. Don’t get involved in my troubles. I’ll be fine, don’t create more problems for everyone.”


    Zhu Shaodan walked up to Zhu Xiangxiang. “Sister, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will bully you.”


    Zhu Shaodan intentionally raised his voice so everyone could hear clearly, and soon there was a buzz of discussion around them.


    “This messy-haired kid is Zhu Xiangxiang’s brother?”


    “The younger brother is actually quite handsome. Why did he choose such an eye-catching outfit? If he tidied himself up a bit, he could even be a contender for the school beau. What a waste.”


    “You guys are missing the point. The real question is why is he Zhu Xiangxiang’s brother? Are they actually rted, or is he from the Zhu family…?”


    Zhu Shaodan looked around at the crowd and said with a grin, “Hello everyone, my name is Zhu Shaodan. I’m new at Shengde High School, so please be lenient with me. Zhu Xiangxiang is my sister, so if any of you want to bully her, you’ll have to deal with my fists first…”


    As soon as his words fell, Zhu Shaodan’s fist flew towards Qi An’s face, swearing: “Fuck you, you think you can bully my sister? Crawl away.”


    Zhu Shaodan? Surnamed Zhu, could he be the young master of the Zhu family?


    Before anyone could recover from their surprise, they saw the once-grinning teenager suddenly swing his fist at Qi An. The brutal swing sent a shiver down their spines.


    Oh no, Shengde High School is going to have another bully.


    Zhao Qin raised her eyebrows, turned to Ming Jing, and teased: “Your brother is really brave, just like me back in the day.”
