Chen Nan took his seat, and Lan Yuqin also walked out of the classroom.
He glanced at the seat beside him; his deskmate hadn't arrived yet. Curiosity piqued, he flipped open her textbook and saw three delicate characters written on it—Su Qingqing.
To be deskmates with this girl?
Chen Nan was amused. Indeed, only this arrangement would allow him to protect her closely!
Just then, Chen Nan frowned, noticing a stocky boy sneering as he approached him, "Hey, kid, you can sit here, but if you dare have designs on Su Qingqing, I'll make you regret coming to Class Nine."
Chen Nan outright ignored him like an idiot.
Seeing that Chen Nan wasn't paying him any attention, the stocky boy's face turned cold, and he shouted, "You fucking dare ignore me, do you know who I am!?"
"I don't fucking care who you are, maniac, go play with your balls."
Chen Nan waved his hand dismissively, never once looking at him.
The stocky boy immediately became enraged, cursed loudly, "Fuck!" and then swung his fist to pick a fight with Chen Nan, but at that moment, a girl from the fifth group's second seat stood up—
"Xiao Jiji, stop it!"
Her voice was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, like the light chirping of an oriole, soothing to hear.
This girl was sitting just one seat away from Su Qingqing across Chen Nan. He turned his head and was instantly captivated. With an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows, her watery eyes seemed to speak, irresistibly charming; her long black hair cascaded down her back, she looked like a beauty from paintings, ethereal and otherworldly. At this moment, her eyebrows were gently knitted as she sternly gazed at Xiao Jiji.
It was only now that Chen Nan realized there was such a stunningly beautiful girl in the classroom.
Xiao Jiji rubbed his fists, cast a cold glance at Chen Nan, and said, "Today I'll give the class president some face, but remember, you little bitch, Su Qingqing is mine. You're not even allowed to talk to her, or I'll break your legs." After saying that, he walked away with a look of arrogance on his face.
Ignoring Xiao Jiji, Chen Nan turned to the beauty beside him and smiled, "Thanks, class president."
"No need to be polite." She smiled faintly, her smile blooming like peach blossoms, devastatingly beautiful, then turned her head back to continue reading.
After staring at her for several seconds, Chen Nan finally snapped back to reality. Her attractive smile stirred a sense of déjà vu in him, and the image of his little junior sister came to mind unbidden.
Shaking his head, Chen Nan looked towards the beauty again, and saw three characters written on the cover of her workbook—Huo Xinya.
"Why does her smile remind me of little junior sister..." puzzled Chen Nan, tearing at his frustrations. At that moment, he heard Su Qingqing's laughter—
"Innocent bro, what are you daydreaming about?"
Taking her seat, Su Qingqing blinked curiously at him.
Chen Nan came to his senses, shook his head with a smile, "Nothing important. It's just amazing to realize that in this world, someone can actually be named 'Little JJ.'"
Su Qingqing laughed, not at all embarrassed, but instead said, "Our class is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are even more extreme characters here! But how did you know there's someone named Xiao Jiji?"
"He just threatened me not to talk to you."
Su Qingqing wrinkled her little nose, rubbed her tiny fists, and pouted, "I've found him annoying for a long time. Why didn't you hit him?"
"Because of the class president..."
Chen Nan hadn't even finished speaking when suddenly there was a "whoosh" from behind. A book flew from the back and aimed for Chen Nan's head. Right after that, they heard Xiao Jiji cursing loudly, "Fuck your mother, you think you can ignore what I said!?"
Without turning his head, Chen Nan caught the book flying at him and with a "hiss," tore it to shreds before tossing the crumpled mass into the trash can.
Everyone in the class was stunned. The new guy was too presumptuous, daring to tear up Xiao Jiji's book.
A loud curse came from behind, and two fashionably dressed teenagers suddenly stood up. It was none other than Xiao Jiji and his partner in crime—Tian Piyan.
Both of their names were equally extraordinary!
With his face filled with rage, Xiao Jiji clenched his fists and glancing at the boy beside him, he said harshly, "Pi Yan, help me out. Let's teach this B little prick whose turf class nine really is!" Then he rushed forward and threw a punch towards the back of Chen Nan's head.
Chen Nan slowly got to his feet, and everyone in class thought he was going to fight back. But to everyone's surprise, he didn't move an inch, letting Xiao Jiji's fist hammer down on him.
A solid punch landed harshly on the back of Chen Nan's head.
The next moment, a piercing scream ensued—
In the midst of the classmates' stunned silence, Xiao Jiji began hopping around on the ground, holding his fist and howling in pain.
"Damn it, damn it! It's killing me, you B little prick dared to trick me."
Hopping around the classroom nonstop, Xiao Jiji gnashed his teeth in pain, his face twisted and sweat beading on his forehead. In his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined that his fist would fail against Chen Nan's head.
All the classmates watched dumbstruck, as still as wooden chickens.
"Bro Jiji, are you okay?"
Following behind, Tian Piyan felt bewildered. Xiao Jiji's punch had hit Chen Nan's head—why was it that Chen Nan seemed fine, while Xiao Jiji himself ended up in such pain? Could it be that this new transfer student knew some Demon Art?
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Jiji finally calmed down.
"I can't hit this dog's head, I'll beat his other body parts!" Xiao Jiji roared, raising his fists to pounce on Chen Nan again.
"Xiao Jiji, Tian Piyan, stop it!" Class monitor Huo Xinya tried to intervene, but those two were bent on revenge and wouldn't listen to her.
As they charged at him, Chen Nan's face revealed a trace of a cold smile. He had been planning to give them a good beating, but then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the teacher at the classroom door. In an instant, his eyes brightened with a plan.
Summoning his Inner Qi Gong, Chen Nan still didn't retaliate, letting their punches come at him.
The moment their bare knuckles hit Chen Nan's chest, his Inner Qi burst from his body in an instant, numbing their arms and causing their fists to ache as if they were splitting open.
At the same time, the class teacher Lan Yuqin had already reached the doorway and shouted, "You two, stop right now!"
Shaken by the force and retreating several meters, the two guys clutched their fists, sweating profusely and trembling with pain, wailing continuously. They bounced around on the ground, one moment standing, the next squatting down, no position relieving their excruciating pain, looking quite comical.
Their bones had been shattered by Chen Nan's Inner Qi, causing real internal injuries.
Seeing the two bullies bouncing around pitifully, the rest of the class was left stunned—why were they dancing?
A cold sneer crossed Chen Nan's mind, but on the surface, he put on an excruciated expression, clutching his chest and crying out, "Ow, it hurts, I'm dying... my bones are broken, my heart is shattered, I can't live..."
Lan Yuqin, seeing Chen Nan apparently severely hurt, lost color in her face and asked anxiously, "Are you badly injured? Go to the school infirmary and have it checked right away."
Chen Nan, with a painful look on his face, leaned on the desk and said, "Thank you for your concern, teacher. I'll rest for a bit and see how it goes. It's just, please make sure to severely punish these two bullies. They were picking on me because I'm new, asking me for protection money. When I refused to give it to them, they hit me, eek, ow, it hurts!" He finished, not forgetting to rub his chest a bit more.
Bullying a new student and even extorting protection money? This was outrageous!
Lan Yuqin's face turned ugly.
