Chapter 21

Jiang Ping noticed a puddle of water quickly spreading between Zhou Xiang's legs, then smelled a foul odor, and quickly let go, saying, "Damn, you actually peed your pants! With a nerve like yours, you still dare to come after me? Don't embarrass yourself!"

Now Zhou Xiang finally understood that Jiang Ping was just scaring him. However, his pants were already soaked, and in a mix of anger and embarrassment, he couldn't even utter a word.

Jiang Ping didn't expect Zhou Xiang to be so useless, actually peeing his pants out of fear. Other scare tactics wouldn't work now. He really didn't want to waste time on these frightened high school students, so he just gave Zhou Xiang and the others a cold glance, then left the rooftop with his backpack.

Zhang Jun was anxiously waiting for Jiang Ping in the corridor below. Seeing him come down, he hurriedly went up to him and asked with great concern, "Are you okay?"

"What could happen to me?" Jiang Ping patted Zhang Jun's shoulder and said, "I told you not to worry. Look, I'm fine!"

Zhang Jun sized up Jiang Ping from head to toe, confirming that he was really fine, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You're amazing, man! You went up to the rooftop with Jiang Jun and his gang and came back unscathed. Tell me, how did you do it?"

Zhang Jun never expected that Jiang Ping could handle Jiang Jun and his three friends alone. So in his view, Jiang Ping must have used some method to convince them not to act, which allowed him to get away unharmed.

In his previous life, Jiang Ping was a famous thief and forger of antiques, both professions that required him to keep a low profile most of the time. This habit carried over to his current life. He didn't tell Zhang Jun about how he fought and defeated Jiang Jun and his gang on the rooftop. Instead, he gave his good friend a faint smile and said, "Of course, I talked to them about school rules and regulations. With graduation just a month away, it's not worth getting a disciplinary record. After a bit of talking, they let me go."

"I don't believe it!" Zhang Jun shot Jiang Ping a look and said, "Do you think I don't know what Jiang Jun and his gang are like? They don't care about disciplinary records. You must have used some other trick!"

However, no matter how Zhang Jun pressed, Jiang Ping just smiled and remained silent. His soul was no longer that of an eighteen-year-old young man, and he had no desire to seek attention. For Jiang Ping, as long as the problem was solved, that was enough. There was no need to elaborate on the process, which might only bring him more trouble.

However, there's no such thing as a completely sealed wall. Jiang Ping's heroic deeds on the rooftop quickly spread throughout the school. The news first spread in Class 5 of Grade 3, then expanded to the entire grade, and within a short day, almost all the students in the school knew about it.

At first, some people didn't believe it was true. After all, Jiang Jun and his gang were practically the bullies of the school. They usually only bullied other students and had never been on the losing end. Moreover, Jiang Ping had always been an unremarkable student who had never done anything out of the ordinary. How could he suddenly become so powerful and defeat four of them alone?

Soon, some students said that Jiang Ping had made up the story to draw attention to himself and elevate his status in the school. He was just a fame-seeking liar who didn't have the courage to face Jiang Jun and his gang.

However, the students soon discovered that Jiang Jun and his gang had no reaction to the incident. Knowing that they were not to be trifled with, they would have already gone after Jiang Ping and beaten him up. But this time, Jiang Jun and his gang remained silent, which clearly indicated that they had indeed been humiliated by Jiang Ping.

Thus, Jiang Ping, who was originally just an ordinary student in Grade 3, quickly became a celebrity at No. 2 High School. Not only did many Grade 3 boys greet Jiang Ping proactively, but even some girls would give him sweet smiles. Later, even some lower-grade students would come in groups to the door of Class 1 of Grade 3 just to catch a glimpse of this legendary "tough guy."

This situation was a great annoyance to Jiang Ping. He just wanted to finish his last month of high school quietly, but even this small wish seemed hard to achieve.

In fact, there was someone even more troubled than Jiang Ping, and that was Zhou Xiang, who was also on the rooftop that day. Since the news of Jiang Jun and his gang being disciplined by Jiang Ping had spread, his own incident of peeing his pants could not be avoided.

When students encountered Zhou Xiang, their expressions were somewhat strange, as if they wanted to laugh but were holding back. Many boys would even deliberately look at his crotch, as if they could still see the wet stain.

When many girls encountered Zhou Xiang, they would involuntarily frown and subtly move a couple of steps away, trying to keep their distance. It was as if Zhou Xiang still had a foul odor, and they had to stay far away to avoid smelling it.

Originally, Zhou Xiang came from a good family, was a good student, and had a decent appearance. He was also good at socializing and was always popular among his classmates, especially the girls. However, after the "rooftop peeing incident," his status plummeted, and he became an object of contempt and ridicule.

This huge contrast deeply hurt Zhou Xiang's self-esteem, making him feel ashamed to face others. This made the previously self-assured Zhou Xiang become low-key and introverted. At school, he would only review his lessons and sit alone at his desk, lost in thought.

No one knew that the proud and self-important Zhou Xiang, after this blow, had become radical and dangerous. He not only hated Jiang Ping to the core but also harbored resentment against the completely innocent Li Qian, secretly planning a revenge.

The incident on the rooftop that day spread wider and wider, and even the model student Li Qian eventually heard about it. During a break, Li Qian came to Jiang Ping's desk and asked in a low voice, "Is it all true?"

Caught off guard by Li Qian's abrupt question, Jiang Ping couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"

"About what happened on the rooftop," Li Qian asked nervously, "Did you really beat up Jiang Jun and scare Zhou Xiang so much that he...?"

Mentioning Zhou Xiang's incident made Li Qian a bit embarrassed, and a light blush spread across her face.

The adorable and shy look on the girl's face made Jiang Ping's eyes light up. However, he didn't let this go to his head and boast about his "glorious achievements" to Li Qian.

With the maturity of an adult, Jiang Ping remained very composed, and he gave the girl a faint smile, saying, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I'm not Bruce Lee; how could I beat up four of them? As for the other things, they're even less reliable, just rumors!"
