Second row, center, this is the best seat in the classroom for listening to lectures.
Yang Tingting lowered her head, making a serious effort to look like she was working on a problem, but she couldn't focus on the questions on the test paper at all.
Xu Le bullying Lin Yihang... This was a very common scenario. In the past, it would happen several times almost every day. Yang Tingting had never cared about it.
But today was different. Seeing Lin Yihang being bullied, she actually felt a bit uncomfortable.
Why would she feel uncomfortable? Yang Tingting was puzzled. This guy always made her so angry!
Forget it! They've at least gotten along a bit these past few days, so she might as well help him out!
Yang Tingting hesitated for a moment, just as she was about to step in, her desk partner Lu Man stood up first with a "whoosh" and turned to walk towards the back of the classroom.
Yang Tingting's steps, which were about to move, stopped.
...
At the back of the classroom.
Hearing Lin Yihang's question, the little fat boy's face showed a look of difficulty. He looked at Lin Yihang, then raised his head and glanced at Xu Le timidly.
Finally, he lowered his head and said nothing.
The little fat boy, who was Lin Yihang's desk partner, was also a frequent target of bullying in the class. He was not much braver than the old Lin Yihang, and the two of them were a perfect match as desk partners.
Seeing Lin Yihang being teased, the little fat boy felt sympathetic, but he was afraid of offending Xu Le, afraid that Xu Le would take out his anger on him. So, he could only remain silent.
However, his expression was very clear.
"Was it you who did this?" Lin Yihang looked at Xu Le and asked coldly.
He was sure that this was definitely Xu Le's doing. In the memories of his previous self, whenever Xu Le arrived earlier than "him," he would hide "his" chair.
The classroom was so big, with desks and chairs everywhere. Hiding a chair in any random spot made it very hard to find unless one checked every single desk and seat.
And Xu Le wanted exactly this effect.
Every time he saw Lin Yihang searching for his chair with his butt sticking out, he would laugh so hard that he would slap the table.
But today, Lin Yihang didn't search for the chair himself; instead, he directly asked him, which made him quite angry.
"Wow, you've grown some guts? You dare to talk to me like this? Have you forgotten the lesson of being thrown into the trash can? Or did the beating you got the day before yesterday make you stupid?"
Xu Le swayed his body as he walked towards Lin Yihang. He decided to give Lin Yihang a lesson, to remind him of his place.
Last week, when Lin Yihang didn't listen, he was thrown into the trash can. Now, Xu Le was bringing up the old incident to scare Lin Yihang and to remind the classmates of his "victory," showing off his power.
Xu Le's academic performance was poor, so he could only find a sense of existence and respect from the classmates in this way.
"Xu Le, bullying classmates again, are you trying to show off?" At this moment, a girl spoke up, and it was Lu Man who had rushed over.
"Hehe, how could I! I was just playing with Xiaohangzi!" Lu Man was very popular in the class and had a sharp tongue. Xu Le didn't dare to offend her easily. Seeing her ask, he could only laugh and explain.
"Hmph!" Lu Man gave a cold snort, unwilling to talk to Xu Le any more. She turned to Lin Yihang, "Your chair is hidden under the teacher's desk. Go get it and come back to class!"
"Tch! What a bore!" Xu Le, seeing that the show was over, pouted and was about to return to his seat.
"I asked you a question, and you haven't answered. How can you just walk away? Did you take my chair?" Lin Yihang's cold voice rang out again.
"You..." Lu Man, seeing that her well-intentioned words were ignored, was a bit unhappy.
However, looking at Lin Yihang's serious expression, she suddenly remembered the scene in the hospital ward. At that time, Lin Yihang had the same expression, stepping in front of her to protect her from the menacing men.
Recalling that scene now, Lin Yihang's small and thin figure seemed so reassuring.
The words of complaint on the tip of her tongue couldn't be spoken.
"Hey? What the hell is wrong with you? I took the chair, so what?" Xu Le was also angry. This guy, whom he usually looked down upon, dared to speak to him like this. This was absolutely intolerable!
"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Go get my chair back immediately, then apologize to me, and say 'Big Brother, I'm sorry' three times. Then this matter will be over." Lin Yihang's voice was firm and icy.
"Ha ha ha..."
The classmates around them burst into laughter.
"Xu Le, quickly apologize to your Lin Brother, or he might beat you up!"
"Damn! Is this Spartacus? The slave is rebelling against oppression!"
"But, rebelling in front of everyone is too foolish. He'll probably get beaten up again in a bit!"
"Right! Lin Yihang is being foolish again. He always does this and gets beaten up to learn his lesson."
"His skin is itchy, he deserves a beating!"
"..."
The classroom was in an uproar.
Amidst the laughter and teasing, Xu Le's face turned ashen. He turned around and walked back. His right hand clenched into a fist, striking his left palm.
"Looks like you're really asking for it!"
He decided that this time he would beat Lin Yihang up badly. A person who was always bullied dared to challenge him in the classroom... If he didn't beat him up, he would lose face.
"Lin Yihang, forget it! Quickly apologize to Xu Le and go get your chair back!"
His desk partner, the little fat boy, tugged at Lin Yihang's sleeve and whispered.
"Get lost! You fatso! What's it got to do with you? If you say another word, I'll beat you up too!" Xu Le glared.
The little fat boy immediately lowered his head and said nothing. But his face clearly showed concern for Lin Yihang. He knew his desk partner well; Lin Yihang would sometimes get a stubborn streak, which was often the reason he got beaten up.
"Lin Yihang, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle," Lu Man also advised.
"So, you're not going to take this chance?" Lin Yihang still looked at Xu Le, his voice equally cold.
"Damn! Lu Man, you saw it too. It's not that I'm not giving you face. This waste is so arrogant. If I don't beat him up, he'll forget his own name... Ah!"
Xu Le was talking to Lu Man, but he didn't expect Lin Yihang to attack so suddenly. Before he could react, a fist had already struck his eye.
Bang!
The punch was heavy and fierce, and Xu Le was knocked down, hitting the ground with a "thud" and knocking over a table behind him.
"Damn!"
Xu Le cursed, feeling his vision go black and his ears ringing. The punch was so powerful that he almost fainted.
But how could this be?
How could a weakling like Lin Yihang deliver such a powerful punch? Xu Le couldn't believe it.
The classmates around them were also stunned. Two girls who almost got hit by the falling table screamed, and then the entire classroom fell silent, everyone turning to look.
Lin Yihang had actually knocked Xu Le down.
What was happening in this world?
For Lin Yihang, this was just the beginning. Seeing Xu Le struggling to get up, he immediately stepped forward and stomped on Xu Le's chest.
"Damn! You little punk, you dared to sneak attack me!"
Xu Le shouted. He didn't think he was no match for Lin Yihang; he just thought he had been too careless this time.
After all, Lin Yihang never initiated a fight. Even if you bullied him to death, he would at most be stubborn and wouldn't fight back unless you hit him.
So, Xu Le had no guard up at all.
He believed that this was the reason he was knocked down by Lin Yihang's punch, because he was too careless.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yihang gave a cold snort. He didn't bother to waste words on such a scumbag. In his mind, winning was winning, and losing was losing. Fair play was for those whose heads had been kicked by a donkey.
Moreover, in the past, Xu Le had often taken advantage of the previous Lin Yihang's lack of attention to punch him.
"So, you're not convinced?"
As Lin Yihang spoke, he picked up a large dictionary from a nearby table, not caring whose it was, and swung his arm, smashing it directly into Xu Le's face.
If you're not convinced, I'll beat you into submission!
