Chapter 146 - 145: Is it too late to kneel now?

Xu Jiahui called out to his left and right.

“Look, everyone, Lu Mian has set goals for herself!” he shouted with a burst of loud laughter.

Indeed, several classmates came over to see what the commotion was about.

Encouraged by the crowd, Xu Jiahui held the notebook aloft over his head with both hands and read out loud without any reservations, “Goal for the October monthly exam: over 50 points in Language, Math, and English; over 60 points in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology… ”

“Hahaha…” A wave of laughter swept through the class.

“The person who got eight zeroes last time is going to make a comeback this time!”

“Did she set these goals with her eyes closed?”

Xu Jiahui scoffed, “Even with Su Luo tutoring me, I wouldn’t dare set such goals for myself. Lu Mian is really funny, overly confident, huh!”

Fat Hao and Shouhao couldn’t possibly allow him to go on like this; they rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight.

Before they could swing their fists, however, a piercingly cold female voice came from the doorway.

“Put that down!”

The voice was so chilling that Xu Jiahui’s spine instantly turned cold, and in his nervousness, the notebook he was clutching was “sshhr” torn in half.

A cold and fierce breeze blew behind him, sweeping over in an instant!

Nobody knew when Lu Mian had appeared behind Xu Jiahui, nor did anyone have the chance to stop her.

All they saw was the girl’s right arm grabbing Xu Jiahui, her slender fingers filled with strength, pinching his wrist until a “crack” followed, breaking the wrist with a snap.

Howls of pain echoed one after another, but that wasn’t all.

Lu Mian flung him away, her face expressionless as she raised her right foot and kicked him squarely in the abdomen, sending him flying several meters away.

“Bang!”

“Clang!”

“Crash…”

The crumbling body overturned five or six desks in succession, scattering everything on the desks, in the desk slots, desks, chairs, books, into a messy heap on the floor.

Everyone in the class was stunned.

They all knew that Lu Mian was aloof and cold, not the talkative type. Usually, she just avoided contact with others, coming off as quite chilly. Yet, they had never seen her look so terrifying before.

Was it necessary, over just a notebook?

What could have been solved with a few words turned into violent artistry.

Nobody dared to help Xu Jiahui.

They didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Especially those who had just been mocking Lu Mian, at this moment, they only had one thought: Is it still possible to kneel and apologize now?

Fortunately, at this time, Su Luo and Bai Fangfei happened to return from the restroom.

Everyone sighed with relief, their savior had arrived.

Expecting her to intervene, Su Luo walked up to Lu Mian with furrowed brows.

“Lu Mian, why did you hit someone?”

Her tone was not pleasant.

Hitting Xu Jiahui was like striking her in the face, considering everyone knew he was now under her care.

Lu Mian ignored her, she didn’t have the spare time to bother.

She simply knelt down and quietly started picking up the pieces of paper from the ground, one by one. Those were from the notebook Xu Jiahui had torn up.

Yuanyuan’s notebook.

Without uttering a word, her aura was icy cold, and though she did not speak, it sent chills down people’s spines to the point where even Fat Hao and Shouhao didn’t dare to approach her.

Su Luo frowned and asked someone quietly what had happened.

“It was Lu Mian who started it!”

Xu Jiahui finally snapped out of his pain and confusion, cried out to Su Luo. Struggling, he pushed off books, cups, and various other items from his body and shakily stood up, propping himself up on a desk corner.

The commotion in their classroom was too great, attracting other students from outside the class to watch the spectacle.

The uproar also drew the attention of school leaders and teachers. Xiao Qimo said, “I’ll take care of this,” sending those onlookers away and arriving at the door of Class 25.

Glancing inside, he understood the situation.

Indeed, someone had been looking for trouble with Lu Mian again!
