Chapter Fifteen

  "Li Hui, no matter what your intentions are for getting close to Wang Zhiqiao, I hope you understand one thing: if you dare harm her, I absolutely won't let you off so easily." Yang Rui warned him when he decided to help Li Hui, even though he had his own reasons, but still couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't hurt Wang Zhiqiao. That fool was being taken advantage of and was still foolishly counting the money for others.

  "No one has ever dared to threaten me." Li Hui didn't take Wang Zhiqiao's warning seriously at all. If she wanted to do something, there was nothing she couldn't achieve. If she didn't want someone to have a good life, it would be simple, no need for such trouble, just one sentence would be enough.

  "What do you mean?" Yang Rui clenched his fists, if he really wanted to bully Wang Zhiqiao, he couldn't do anything about it, and suddenly felt that his idea was so immature.

  Fighting alone is no good. Group fighting has no one for oneself. Although I usually play with many people, it doesn't mean that everyone is willing to rush forward for myself.

  He had just arrived for a few days and established good diplomatic relations with that group of people in school.

  "Come on, then tell me, what are you going to do to not let me go." Li Hui looked at this person who was shouting at him with some amusement, but also started to get a little intimidated.

  "Tell me about your revenge plan, I'll give you an appraisal. Let's see if you have enough ability." Li Hui leaned against the wall with his hands clasped behind his back, cracking his knuckles loudly, while still speaking in a careless tone that was infuriating to hear.

  Yang Rui looked at his careless attitude, suppressing the anger in her heart, and repeatedly hinted to herself that she must endure it. If she didn't, she would be taken advantage of by the enemy's provocative tactics. A small impatience can ruin a big plan.

  Moreover, I don't have the capital to fight with him. Thinking that if I couldn't bear it, I would suffer physically and mentally, so I made a wise decision to be a sage for once, even if I'm angry, I must not lose my rationality.

  "Hey, look what you're saying, I'm fully convinced that Wang Zhiqiao is a person who can get whatever she wants. It's worth your while to think about her. You're such a wise and brave person, even if she stuffed your mouth with food, she would still be disdainful of you. Who would dare to have any designs on her? Even if someone did, it would be because they looked up to her. I was just testing you out, not trying to offend you." Yang Rui said this with a straight face, but he almost threw up in his own mouth.

  But Li Hao still looked at him with a careless expression, and Yang Rui's words became less confident. He wouldn't really get angry, would he? Want to use himself as a practice target. His own weak body, how could it withstand his training. Thinking of this, Yang Rui's body started to break out in cold sweat.

  "Hmph. You dare to come out and challenge me like this." Looking at Yang Rui's pale face, he thought it was enough, no need to scare her anymore. Who knows, if she got a bad impression of him, it might be troublesome when he needed her help in the future.

  What he fears even more is that she tells Wang Zijiao, and his good impression of managing the store is ruined in an instant. However, he doesn't know that his image has already been smeared before others have even arrived. He should be vomiting blood now.

  "You're not going to get away with treating me like this. You scared me, I thought you were going to hit me." Yang Rui complained in a low voice. His voice was as small as a mosquito's, even though he knew the other person was just joking with him, he didn't dare to be too reckless, in case he accidentally offended him and got beaten up. That would be a loss.

  Li Hui heard her muttering to herself and knew she was definitely talking about him behind his back. It seemed he had really scared her, which wasn't a good sign. He would still need her help in the future after all.

  "Don't worry, I've never hit a girl. You're really timid. And you still dare to come and stand up for Wang Zhiqiao? Luckily it was me you ran into. Otherwise, others wouldn't be so polite. But with friends like you, she doesn't have to worry about being bullied by bad people."

  "Haha, that's right." Yang Rui unreservedly accepted the praise. Li Huan rolled her eyes in response.

  "Don't worry, I won't do anything to her! I just think she's quite interesting and want to be good friends with her." Li Hui felt that she was not as guarded against him, and began to discuss the matter at hand.

  "You're not people from the same world, it's not suitable." Yang Rui didn't consider or think about it and directly expressed his own thoughts. "She's not suitable to stay in your friend circle, your friends are all that type who often stir up trouble."

  "It seems you have a prejudice against my friends. This is a serious issue. You've watched too many Young and Dangerous movies, but actually you don't understand them. Once you do, you'll find that they're also very good people, just bold in their behavior, not like you guys who bring some bad ideas." Li Miao felt the need to clear his friends' names, couldn't let them be misunderstood like this.

  "Stop, I'm not interested in them. Probably won't have anything to do with them for the rest of my life. Whether they're good or bad has nothing to do with me. Even if I admit they're good people now, you can't change everyone's opinion about you." Yang Rui cut him off before he could finish speaking, not wanting to know too much about unfamiliar people.

  It wasn't long after that she got to know the people she had been talking about, and only then did she deeply realize her own prejudice against them. Not everyone would take the initiative to understand a person and then make an evaluation. Many times, it was just hearing from others and adding one's own thoughts, viewing that person with biased eyes, and not even wanting to listen to what they had to say, giving rise to negative emotions and resistance.

  "Alright, let's not talk about them. Let's talk about Wang Zhiqiao instead." Seeing Yang Rui mention his friend with a negative expression, Li Huan felt that it was pointless to say more and that he couldn't change their minds anyway. Forget it, people know whether the water they drink is hot or cold themselves.

  Actually, Wang Zijiao is a person with a strong sense of vigilance. She resists everyone's kindness and doesn't want to accept others. When I first met her, I thought she was a quiet girl, but after getting in touch with her for a long time, I found that she wasn't quiet at all, just not interacting with others. You ask her ten questions, and she either won't answer or nod slightly; if it's really necessary, she'll write a note. Many people started to keep their distance from her. I'm willing to be friends with her because my skin is thick enough, and I genuinely think she's okay. Actually, if you pay attention carefully, you'll find that she considers others' emotions more than anyone else. She knows when I don't want to talk, when I'm sad, or when I want to be alone quietly.

  Yang Rui's description made Li Miao recall Wang Zijiao's past and start feeling sorry for her loneliness back then.

  "The first time she showed me kindness was when she inadvertently helped me, at that time, she was alone and wandering by herself. Once, while playing a game, we needed to pair up in twos, many people started pairing up on their own, but only she stood there like an abandoned orphan, not knowing where to go or what to do." Yang Rui's voice became lower and lower, Li Miao's heart also began to sink.

  "She just stood there, motionless, probably knowing that no one was willing to partner with her. The team quickly finished taking pictures, leaving her standing alone, head down. The teacher noticed and shouted, "Hurry up and stand properly, don't just stand there!" But Qiao didn't budge, and the teacher started getting angry, thinking she was intentionally challenging their authority."

  "At that moment, I suddenly felt she was so helpless, not at all like her usual careless and calm self. Being stared at by so many people, she must have felt very embarrassed, but at the time, I had a partner, no way to abandon her to help her."

  "If you don't want to play, go stand over there, don't stand here." Finally, the teacher began to relax, she couldn't neglect her other students because of this one.

  "I just stood there, watching her walk away step by step to somewhere else, so lonely and helpless," Li Hui felt that she was stepping on his heart with every step, it was so painful.
