The last class of the afternoon was self-study. Zhong Pinliang stood up and walked to Lin Yi's side, tapping his desk twice with his finger.

"What's up?" Lin Yi lifted his head and asked indifferently, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

Kang Xiaobo also turned around, looking at Lin Yi and Zhong Pinliang with surprise, not knowing why they had a grudge against each other. After all, Zhong Pinliang was not someone Lin Yi could easily provoke.

"Come with me if you dare." Zhong Pinliang said arrogantly.

"Sorry, I'm busy. I need to study." Lin Yi lowered his head and continued flipping through his math book.

"Scared, are you? Coward!" Zhong Pinliang sneered, "You can avoid the first day, but not the fifteenth. Wait until after school."

With that, he turned and walked back to his seat without looking back.

"Bro, what did you do to offend this big shot?" Kang Xiaobo whispered to Lin Yi, "He's not someone to mess with! Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "What misunderstanding? I didn't do anything to offend him. It's all because of Chu Mengyao. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have kicked Zhong Pinliang's ass yesterday. But I can't tell you that."

"Nothing, this morning, Zhang Naipao tried to trip me, but I stepped on his foot. It might be because of that." Lin Yi shifted the blame to the morning.

"Ah!" Kang Xiaobo was startled, frowning, "Zhang Naipao is very vengeful! It looks like Zhong Pinliang is here to cause trouble for you on his behalf."

"No problem, let them do what they want. What can they do in school?" Lin Yi shrugged indifferently. In his eyes, no matter how arrogant and domineering Zhong Pinliang was, he was still just a student.

Thinking back to his days of war and conflict, where he had faced life and death in the midst of gunfire, Zhong Pinliang's level of enemy was too childish. Like today, Lin Yi had used a rather humorous method to teach Zhong Pinliang a lesson, rather than beating him up.

If Lin Yi really wanted to fight, Zhong Pinliang would already be lying in the morgue.

"How about it?" Kang Xiaobo sighed. Lin Yi had just transferred here, so it was normal for him not to know about the school's situation. He explained, "Zhong Pinliang and his gang are the bullies of the school. Many students who have offended them have been beaten up, some even unable to come to school for several days!"

"So harsh?" Lin Yi didn't expect Zhong Pinliang and his gang to be so brutal.

"Yes! I should have warned you earlier!" Kang Xiaobo sighed, "If you had said a few soft words just now, this might have been over. But now..."

"What now?" Lin Yi asked with interest.

"Now it's more complicated!" Kang Xiaobo said resentfully, "Damn! Zhang Naipao is such a wimp, as soft as foam, always holding grudges and having a small heart. For this one thing, even though he was in the wrong first, he still got Zhong Pinliang to take revenge. What a piece of shit!"

"Forget it, let them do what they want. Don't worry, I'm not that easy to bully." Lin Yi patted Kang Xiaobo's shoulder, signaling him to relax.

Kang Xiaobo pursed his lips, wanting to say something but ultimately didn't speak.

What was bound to come, will come. Before the last "big class," Zhong Pinliang found Lin Yi.

The so-called "big class" is also called evening self-study. Many schools have such classes. After school at 4:30 PM, there is a half-hour break, and the "big class" starts at 5:00 PM, lasting one and a half hours without a break.

"If you're a man, come with me." Zhong Pinliang's words this time were more aggressive than before. Last time, he just said "if you dare," but this time, he used "if you're a man."

Lin Yi was naturally a man, but he wouldn't get angry because of Zhong Pinliang's aggressive tone. However, he understood that today's matter would eventually need to be resolved. It was clear that Zhong Pinliang was the type who wouldn't let go easily. As he said, you can avoid the first day, but not the fifteenth. Although Lin Yi didn't need to avoid him, it proved that Zhong Pinliang was someone who wouldn't stop until he achieved his goal.

"Alright, I'll go with you." Lin Yi nodded and stood up.

At this moment, many people in the class had not left the classroom. When Zhong Pinliang first came to find Lin Yi, they had noticed. So when Zhong Pinliang appeared in front of Lin Yi again, he naturally became the focus of the entire class.

However, after Lin Yi agreed to go with Zhong Pinliang, the entire class was in an uproar. Many people sighed, thinking that Lin Yi, on his first day, didn't know the rules and had somehow offended the school bully, Zhong Pinliang. But more people felt sympathy for him.

"I'll go with you!" Kang Xiaobo stood up suddenly, as if making a major decision, looking like a warrior ready to face execution.

Kang Xiaobo's heart was also struggling. Although he had just met Lin Yi today, he felt a strong connection. In the dull and monotonous life of senior high school, having a friend to talk to was rare.

Zhong Pinliang was very powerful in school, and Kang Xiaobo couldn't compete with him. All he could do was stand by and try to reduce the conflict.

"Damn, Kang Xiaobo, are you out of your mind? Standing up for him?" Zhong Pinliang was furious when he saw a classmate standing up for a new transfer student. This was a challenge to his authority in the class!

Under Zhong Pinliang's aggressive gaze, Kang Xiaobo felt a bit timid, but he didn't back down. He lifted his chin, "Zhong Pinliang, Lin Yi is new and doesn't know the class rules. Don't take it out on him..."

"Teaching me a lesson now? Who do you think you are?" Zhong Pinliang was immediately angry. Not knowing the rules? He had already been humiliated. How could this be easily forgiven? Hearing Kang Xiaobo's casual tone, Zhong Pinliang was furious, "Since you're so willing to stand up for him, you can come too. Damn it, if I don't beat you to death today, I'm not Zhong Pinliang!"

Kang Xiaobo's expression turned serious, his body trembling slightly. He had always been a well-behaved student, and although he had some fighting spirit deep down, he had never actually fought before.

Although Lin Yi didn't need Kang Xiaobo's help, he was deeply moved by his sincere friendship. He patted Kang Xiaobo's shoulder, "No problem, let's go together!"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Kang Xiaobo felt more confident. He thought, "So what if we get beaten up together?" He straightened his chest and followed Lin Yi to the classroom door.

Seeing Kang Xiaobo's attitude, Zhong Pinliang was even more furious, feeling extremely frustrated. A classmate was actually helping an outsider. He had to teach this traitor a lesson.

Under Zhong Pinliang's lead, they went to the rooftop of the school's top floor...
