âYou shouldnât have helped me!â the boy said after leaving the restroom.
Although he was grateful that Jian Dan had helped him, he was well aware that by doing so, she would only bring trouble upon herself.
The people who had just bullied him were not ordinary. One of them was even the son of a school board member, and the identities of the others were all either rich or noble. In the school, it had always been their role to bully others, and no one dared to provoke them.
âYou provoked them today, and they wonât let you off the hook!â
âYouâre still thinking about that? Shouldnât you clean yourself up first?â
âDo you even know who they are?â the boy asked, seeing Jian Danâs unconcerned expression and feeling worried.
âI donât know! But before you tell me, can you please go clean yourself up? You really stink right now!â
âYouâ¦â
âWhat is it, can we talk after youâve had a shower?â
âButâ¦â
âNo buts, Iâm going to eat now. After youâve showered, you can come find me in the cafeteria!â
After dropping this line, Jian Dan left straight away.
The cafeteria was bustling with people, but Jian Dan could always spot Xiaoting at a glance.
âAh, Iâm starving to death!â Jian Dan began eating as soon as she sat down.
âI thought you went to Mars to use the restroom or something.â
âNo way! I just got held up by something, so I got delayed!â Jian Dan spoke without interrupting her meal.
âSomething? What could it be? Donât tell me that dog came looking for trouble again?â
âNo, it wasnât!â
âThen what else could it have been?â
âThat, Xiaoting, have you finished eating? Go buy another portion of food!â
âJian, can you really eat that much?â Xiaoting was puzzled as the food in front of Jian wasnât even finished, and yet she was told to buy more.
âDonât worry, I wonât waste it!â
âOkay then!â
By the time Xiaoting went to buy more food, the boy had already taken a shower, changed his clothes, and come to the cafeteria.
With her head down, Jian Dan continued eating and didnât look up; she merely felt someone sit down in front of her. âThat was quick, back already?â
âItâs me!â
Jian Dan looked up. This clean and tidy boy was a stark contrast to the one from before.
âYour speed could qualify for the Guinness World Records!â Jian Dan joked.
âYouâre still in the mood for jokes!â the boy said seriously.
âCan you drop the âend of the worldâ expression, please?â
âYou really donât understand the seriousness of the situation!â
âIs it more serious than the sky falling? Even if the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up!â Jian Dan said nonchalantly.
This made the boy sitting opposite her even more anxious.
He didnât want Jian Dan to be targeted by those people because she helped him.
âYou guysâ¦â Xiaoting, returning with the food, saw the boy sitting opposite Jian Dan.
âHeâs the one I was just telling you about!â
âWhat do you mean?â Xiaoting sat beside Jian Dan and handed her the food she had brought.
âYou havenât eaten yet, have you? Here, eat!â Jian Dan pushed the food Xiaoting had just bought toward the boy.
âNo wonder you said it wouldnât go to waste earlierâit was meant for him!
Donât tell me you have feelings for himâ¦â
âYouâre overthinking it; I just gave him a little help earlier.â
âYou helped him with something? No way!â Xiaoting had a sinking feeling.
This boyâs name was Ouyang Jing, and almost no one in the school did not recognize him, but not because he was any sort of influential figure. He was a target of bullying by the F4.
Although every student and even the teachers were aware that he was bullied, not one dared to intervene..
