Chapter 3: The Pitfall is Struck

  The head teacher's office is on the second floor, our class is on the third floor. At the corner of the stairs going down, I saw Liu Gang and those people.

  After I figured out what was going on, I quickly ran back. Liu Gang and a few others were chasing after me. I ran back to the third floor and saw Mao Zhenbao.

  I have a deep grudge against Mao Cun Nan, because yesterday Mao Cun Nan told me that I'm an idiot, and Sun Yun Yun that cheap thing had already been messed with by him long ago, but I still treasure it.

  I cursed and kicked Mao Cun's abdomen with my foot, Mao Cun was kicked to the ground by me. I didn't expect Mao Cun to be so vulnerable, or maybe he didn't think I would hit him, so he underestimated me. I wanted to run away, but Mao Cun grabbed my leg tightly. I heard the sound of "bang bang bang", Liu Gang brought two people from behind and quickly caught up with me.

  I knew I couldn't outrun him, so I grabbed Mouchen's hair and slammed his head against the wall. He tried to struggle back but failed.

  "Damn it, kill him!" Liu Gang watched as Mao Cun was beaten up and his anger grew even more. After all, Mao Cun was his man, and if Mao Cun lost face, then so did Liu Gang.

  Liu Gang kicked me from behind, and before I could turn my head, two other people grabbed my arms. I shook them off with force, but only managed to shake off the one on the left. Mao Cun Nan grabbed my leg and pulled hard, sending me crashing to the ground.

  Liu Gang kicked his foot straight at my chest, and after kicking, the four of them surrounded me with a flurry of punches and kicks. The noise was not small, and Liu Gang knew that this would soon attract the teacher's attention, so he called on Mao Cun and another to grab me and drag me into the bathroom.

  After dragging me to the bathroom, they beat me up again. At first I wanted to resist, but the result of resistance was even greater fury, so I didn't resist anymore. After Liu Gang got tired from beating me, he let Mao Cun and others stop.

  "Li Jie, I didn't expect you to be so bold, first messing with my woman, then beating up my brother. Do you really think that just because you know Gao Sheng, you can look down on me?" Liu Gang cursed at me in a fit of rage.

  As soon as I think of Sun Yunyun, I feel a surge of anger. Sun Yunyun has always been my nominal girlfriend, but in Liu Gang's heart, he has made me the third party. I cursed Liu Gang with a mouthful.

  Bang!

  Liu Gang suddenly squatted down and slapped me in the face, then pointed at my nose and said "Until now your damn mouth is still so hard!"

  I gritted my teeth and endured it, this is a toilet, if I provoke Liu Gang, I won't be able to guarantee that Liu Gang won't do something excessive to me. Several people scolded me for several sentences, I didn't dare to retort, while scolding me they also kicked me a few times.

  They saw me unmoved and lost interest in continuing to bully me.

  As he was leaving, Mao Zedong spat on my pants.

  I washed my face in the bathroom and came out because class was about to start, but I didn't expect Cao Na to be waiting for me outside the toilet.

  I didn't expect Cao Na would be here, I subconsciously turned back and hid in the toilet, I don't want Cao Na to see my current disheveled appearance.

  Cao Na called out my name from outside, and I realized that Cao Na wasn't just passing by.

  Facing Cao Na, I have mixed feelings. Compared to her, I am more calm. Cao Na said she just saw us fighting.

  I didn't say a word and walked towards my own classroom.

  Cao Na caught up with me and said that she already knew I had broken up with Sun Yunyun, if I wanted to take responsibility for her, then I should chase after her.

  I was so excited at that time, I thought Cao Na liked me. Cao Na said, now I'm not good enough for her, if I want to pursue her, at least I have to attend the same university as her.

  Cao Na also said that she doesn't want her man to be the one who gets bullied, she doesn't mind if her boyfriend is a thug, but absolutely does not allow her boyfriend to be a pushover, being taken advantage of by others.

  Cao Na's grades have always been excellent, ranking among the top in our entire school. Someone with my low IQ like me would never be able to get into the same university as her.

  What I hate most is being a bookworm.

  As for Cao Na, I will pursue her, but I don't want to change too much for her, otherwise, I won't be myself anymore.

  Liu Gang hit me, I want to take revenge. Originally, I wanted to find Pangzi, but after seeing me being beaten, he only comforted a few words and then there was no follow-up.

  I know, Fatso won't help me.

  I gritted my teeth and gave my brother a call.

  When I was in high school, my brother told me that if someone bullied me, I could call him. I know my brother's current job has some underworld nature, but unless absolutely necessary, I really don't want to ask for his help.

  I don't want to be looked down upon by Cao Na, and I'd like to prove that it's Sun Yunyun who is blind, so I dialed my brother's phone number.

  I told my brother what happened when I was beaten by Liu Gang today, and my brother asked me why I was beaten.

  I was a bit dizzy at the time, I remember when I was young, every time I was bullied, my brother never asked why, he directly went to help me take revenge, this man is notorious for helping others but not his own family.

  I'm being vague because of women.

  My brother knows that I'm dating, and most of the expenses for my dates are also paid by my brother. My brother is quite open-minded.

  My brother laughed and said on the phone: What do you mean by calling me?

  I didn't even think about it and directly replied: Of course I want you to avenge me, didn't you say that if I was bullied, I should call you?

  After a pause, my brother said: Okay, but I'm busy now and can't go over there directly.

  When I heard this, I felt a little panicked.

  But then my brother said he had friends over here.

  After giving me a phone number, my brother said to me that I have grown up and can't rely on others for everything, it's time to learn to be independent.

  He said, men will always learn how to fight, either for the sake of their so-called dignity or for protecting those who need protection.

  At night, I couldn't sleep again. My brother's meaning was very clear - he wanted me to deal with Liu Gang myself and not make that call. But how could I possibly cope with Liu Gang on my own?

  I'm not a rich kid, rich kids have money to buy people's hearts, but me? I don't have money or power, in a fight, one on one is fine, but against so many people, I'm no match for them.

  One night, I couldn't fall asleep, and finally, I came up with a plan, although it was a bit risky, but I thought it was worth trying.

  When I was a kid, because of my brother's influence, I often fought with others. In terms of one-on-one combat, I think I can take down Liu Gang.

  If I fail, I'll have no choice but to call for help on my mobile phone.
