Fang Qian laughed. “You’re still pretending, hehe! Last night, I asked Guo Zhicheng to help me clarify things with Liang Xue. Guess what ‘your’ girlfriend said? She said that there was no such thing. Zheng Yuxun never knew that I said those dirty jokes! F*ck!”
Another slap landed on my head.
Only then did I understand. I never thought that he would actually confirm it with Liang Xue!
How ironic…
It was actually my girlfriend who betrayed me!
However, Liang Xue probably had her own difficulties. After all, she could not afford to offend a person like Fang Qian, so she did not dare to lie to him.
Fang Qian said hatefully, “You caused me to lose an opportunity to flirt with her. F*ck, continue to beat him up until he dies!”
The few of them once again swarmed over and punched and kicked me like a storm!
“Stop! What are you doing!” A cry of surprise could be heard.
F*ck! Someone’s coming! Let’s get out of here!” Fang Qian was shocked and gestured.
The few of them immediately followed him and ran to the other side without looking back. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
The person who came quickly ran to my side and said angrily, “Why did they hit you! Eh? Zhang Lu!”
I barely raised my head to look and saw that the person was actually Xia Qingrou!
Unexpectedly, once again, she saved me…
I did not dare to look at her again. I supported myself with the bamboo and got up. I panted. “Teacher… Teacher Xia, I’m fine.”
Teacher Xia was still angry. “Who exactly are they? Tell me and I’ll give you Justice!”
Only then did I realize that she had not seen Fang Qian and the others clearly. However, I only shook my head and said, “It’s fine. It’s just a small misunderstanding. I relied on the fact that I learned some martial arts from the video and wanted to spar with them. In the end, I lost face. Sigh, I’ll have to practice more when I get back.”
In reality, although Xia Qingrou was a teacher, we were all around the same age after all. It was already quite embarrassing to be beaten in front of her. If I still needed her to help me seek justice, where would I put my face?
Moreover, it was not the first time someone like Fang Qian had been reported and punished. It did not seem like a simple punishment would really restrain him. This fellow was still as arrogant and domineering as ever. This method was useless.
The sullen look on Teacher Xia’s face finally disappeared, she reprimanded lightly, “Why are you still watching that video martial arts training? You’ve suffered so many injuries, haven’t you learned your lesson yet? There are many ways to protect yourself, and there are also many ways to practice martial arts. Why must you take this path?”
I knew that she was actually concerned about me, so I made up some nonsense. “You don’t understand. This is called ‘body tempering’. First, I will let myself go through a lot of tempering, and my body will become stronger. Then, I will naturally become tougher. Look, actually, I already have some foundation now. After suffering so many injuries last time, I’m almost better now. After today’s beating, I don’t… Don’t feel much pain…”
Teacher Xia rebuked, “You’re still trying to be brave! Your face is hurting so much!”
I was afraid that she would nag again, so I hurriedly said, “I’m really fine! About my face, I’ll go apply some medicine first. Goodbye!” I did not dare wait for her reply, so I quickly turned around and ran away.
She was really a good person. I did not want to drag her into this.
Fang Qian said that he had some boss who was interested in Teacher Xia. If I were to drag her into my matters and have a conflict with Fang Qian, I was afraid that Fang Qian would make a move against her.
After leaving the small bamboo forest, I walked around to the side of a building. I leaned against the wall and panted for quite a while before finally suppressing the pain in my body.
Recently, I had been beaten up a lot. Ironically, I felt like my bones and tendons were getting used to the beating. Although it was a moment of pain, it quickly subsided.
“Your name is Zhang Lu, right?” A voice suddenly sounded from behind me.
I was startled. I suddenly turned around, only to see a very tall young man with both hands in his pockets. There was a bit of a ruffian look on his face. He was looking at me with a faint smile.
At first, I felt that the other party looked a bit familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen him before. I said hesitantly, “You know me?”
That young man smiled and said, “I passed by that bamboo forest just now and watched a bit of the commotion. It seems that you and Teacher Xia have quite a good relationship. She’s so concerned about you.”
I was stunned. “Watching the commotion? In that case, you saw me being…”
That young man leisurely said, “I have to say, you really are a good-for-nothing. To actually be beaten up by a person like Fang Qian, tsk tsk.”
I was shocked and angrily said, “You!”
The young man sneered, “What’s there to be angry about? If you’re a real man, you should live with the consequences of your actions. Don’t flaunt your authority with me here. If you want to get mad, go and look for Fang Qian!”
I was momentarily at a loss for words. My hands were clenched into fists, but I was unable to refute.
A smile suddenly appeared in the young man’s eyes. “Being beaten up like this, aren’t you very unhappy? If I have a way to help you take revenge, do you dare to do it?”
I blurted out, “Of course I dare!”
The young man extended his hand towards me in satisfaction. “That’s good. Come, let me introduce myself first. My name is Chen Hanwei.”
Chen Hanwei.
When I heard these three words, I was stunned for a moment before I suddenly remembered this name. My expression instantly changed. “You…. You’re Chen Hanwei!”
