Chapter Sixteen: Cai Chen Sends Flowers

  Looking at Wang Hu's courageous appearance, I was still relieved. It turned out that Wang Hu was not joking about wanting to be friends with me this time. I immediately showed a smile of approval. Then, two more people stood up, one was Zheng Haifeng and the other was Jiang Cheng. I knew their situation, they were considered the most ordinary families in our class. They were also very low-key, but this time they stood up and still made me feel surprised.

  In the end, there were only four of us left. Especially since our identities are almost the same, and surprisingly none of us are rich second-generation kids, which makes me feel like I've found my direction.

  Maybe I can organize a union of poor students to resist. Generally, people like this have more or less been bullied, so it's much easier to get them to join and also more reliable.

  Lin Xinyu watched me making a scene in class, probably going to report back to Meng Heizi again. But I don't care about that Meng Heizi now, he can't do anything to me for the time being. As for Lin Xinyu, I really want to drag her into a corner and take care of her one night. She's always against me everywhere.

  Xiao Xi remained silent in the end, I don't know what her attitude is. But my mind was made up, I still decided to take this mixed path, not for anything else, just so as not to be bullied by others.

  After that, I also promoted it in several other classes. The final result really made me lose confidence to continue asking. I walked through three classes, and finally only two people were willing to follow me. As for the other ten classes, I didn't dare ask anymore. After all, besides Cai Chen, there are two more "swordsmen" in the first year. Their strength is not at all lower than Cai Chen's. At present, I don't want to make another enemy.

  Helpless, I spent two days through several friends' clandestine efforts. In the end, apart from our class's three, there were only three from other classes. Altogether just seven people. Especially these seven people generally used to be timid, now wanting them to have a real spirit of resistance is not an easy thing.

  "Come on, everyone take a drink. To us being able to gather together as brothers, cheers." I stood up first, raised a large bowl filled with beer.

  Dry

  Dry

  Seven people clinked their glasses together and downed the beer in one gulp. I looked around at everyone, my eyes locking onto theirs as I spoke: "Now that we've decided to rebel together, let's think this through carefully. I don't want anyone to back out at the last minute - that's something I, Luo Mu, absolutely cannot tolerate."

  When they heard my words, they obviously started to hesitate. At this time, the first person to ask me was Jiang Cheng. He is relatively thin and short, about 1.7 meters tall, and is considered the weakest among the seven of us. He asked me: "Mu Ge, you said that someone like me, even if I stand out, others can kick me flying with one foot, can I really beat them?"

  I smiled and raised my glass to take a sip. Only then did I say, "Do you guys know me? Although I don't look as strong and tall as them, but I once took down Cai Chen all by myself. My strength wasn't enough for him, and my fighting experience couldn't compare to his. But in the end, I won, and I beat him up badly. Why? Because Cai Chen was ruthless, but I was even more ruthless than him. I had a wooden stick, and although my strength wasn't as much as his, wouldn't it still hurt if I hit him with the stick? And every move I made was aimed at his weak spots. In the end, he could only be defeated by me."

  I said calmly, but anyone who hears my words now can feel that confidence. This is also what I want them to feel, courage and confidence are the essential starting points for success.

  "Alright, I, Jiang Cheng, may not be better than anyone else. But since I chose to follow Mu Ye, from now on I will definitely follow him and turn against those who bully us poor students." Jiang Cheng stood up, raised his wine cup and downed the wine in one gulp.

  I understand that these people are really following me. As for whether they can keep up with me next time we have a real fight, that remains to be seen.

  After going home, I still had a hint of intoxication. I wasn't very good at drinking to begin with, and today was my first time drinking with these brothers, so I also drank a bit more. As soon as I got home, Xiaohui asked me where I went, and I said I went out for two drinks. The result was that I saw Xiaohui seemed to be in a bad mood, then ran back to the room.

  The next day, when I walked into the classroom, what caught my attention was a bouquet of roses on Xiaohui's desk. There must have been over a hundred roses, and they looked very beautiful. But at that moment, I didn't feel any appreciation for them. Instead, I ran to Xiaohui's side in anger and asked her in an interrogative tone: "Who sent these flowers?"

  Although Xiaoxi didn't answer, I can probably guess who it is. Usually, Xiaoxi stays in class, so even if she's pretty, only people in the class know about it. The girls are naturally jealous and don't spread the word outside, and the boys don't want anyone to compete with them either. So Xiaoxi's pursuers are limited to the class, but everything changed after Cai Chen came.

  "Is this what Cai Chen sent?" I asked again.

  Xiao Xi didn't answer. Later, I asked Wang Hu, and he said that Cai Chen brought flowers in early this morning. I really didn't expect that the first thing Cai Chen did after leaving the hospital wasn't to settle accounts with me, but instead was to flirt with girls. It was only then that I remembered Lin Xin Yu seemed to be Cai Chen's girlfriend, and when I turned my gaze towards Lin Xin Yu, I found that her eyes were red at this time.

  It's obvious that she was dumped by Cai Chen. I'm still happy in my heart, but soon, Lin Xinyu stood up and pointed at Xiaohui, shouting at her: "You bitch, dare to steal my man. You wait for me."

  I was furious as soon as I heard this. I walked directly to Lin Xinyu and Xiao Xi, simultaneously pinching Lin Xinyu's wrist, then glaring at her with a low tone: "Lin Xinyu, if you dare move her even an inch, I'll beat you up right now, and don't think I won't dare smash your head in."

  Lin Xinyu was still startled by me and then quietly returned to her own desk.

  "You all go and fight for her, let's see how you dogs bite each other." Lin Xinyu said with a cold smile.

  I don't care about her anymore, as long as Xiao Xi is fine. I don't care about anything else, but now that Cai Chen is back, I guess I'll have to settle the score with him too.

  As expected, it wasn't long before Cai Chen had someone deliver a challenge letter to me. He wanted me to bring some people to the basketball court next to the school gate for a showdown, scheduled for after school in the afternoon.

  I didn't expect Cai Chen to not try to ambush me. Instead, he's facing me head-on, although I don't know what his intentions are, but I do know that this time he definitely won't be so reckless. So, giving me time to call for backup, it's likely that he'll bring everyone with him to take me down this time.
