However, at this moment, a clear and cold voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

“Stop!” He Jinyan frowned as he looked at them. “Don’t go too far.”

Zheng Zhixuan turned around and sneered, “Jinghan, you’re from Class One. Are you helping her now? Don’t forget, who caused the wound on my head?” Xue Shuyi chimed in, “Exactly! Jinghan, do you want to betray us?”

Today, He Jinyan arrived late due to something urgent, so no one suspected where he had just been. They all assumed he went to the teacher to ask for leave. Moreover, he did indeed hold a leave slip in his hand.

Rong Feiyu looked at He Jinyan, this striking person, whom she had never received a direct glance from. She wore a pure smile on her face. “Jinghan, at first, Zhixuan had a grudge because she got injured. This is just a minor conflict between classmates. Jinghan, you don’t need to get involved. Zhixuan and the others have their limits.”

Then Rong Feiyu added, “By the way, I have a question I don’t know how to solve. Jinghan, could you come over and teach me?”

If it were anyone else, they would certainly not refuse Rong Feiyu’s request. However, at this moment, He Jinyan was incredibly aloof and didn’t even spare her a glance.

Seeing that they weren’t listening, He Jinghan calculated the speed of the Class Seven people coming into his mind. He turned around and returned to his seat, taking out his water bottle and opening a packet of medicine to take.

Rong Feiyu’s expression stiffened, and she clenched her teeth in anger, cursing inwardly, ‘Ungrateful brat! I had even lowered myself, yet he still acted high and mighty. Did he think I held him in high regard?’

Rong Feiyu shifted her gaze away, struggling to control her facial expression. She took a deep breath and continued to study, portraying the image of a diligent and obedient student.

With He Jinyan no longer blocking them, Zhong Wentao’s group became even more unscrupulous. They forcefully held Lu Qi down, pressing her head into the dirty water bucket.

Lu Qi watched helplessly as her head was pushed into the bucket, nearly drinking the dirty water. She closed her eyes abruptly, feeling as if her strength had been drained from her body. She couldn’t move anymore.

However, just then, Lu Qi suddenly heard a series of painful cries, followed by a loud cry. The force behind her was instantly released. She shot up and quickly pushed the dirty water bucket away, causing the water inside to splash out.

As Lu Qi got to her feet, she suddenly felt a dark object flying above her head. She quickly sat down and moved backward to avoid it.

The nunchaku flew past and struck the hands of several people. Zhong Wentao’s hand went numb from the impact, followed by a wave of pain. He turned around fiercely and saw a figure at the door—someone wearing a pink coat and a black mask.

“Rong…Qi!”

With Rong Qi’s arrival, Zheng Zhixuan and the others immediately turned their hostility toward her.

Zheng Zhixuan squinted her eyes, her voice sinister, “You’ve come at just the right time. I wanted to find you too!”

However, as soon as her words fell, a large group of heads suddenly appeared behind Rong Qi, like mushrooms after rain.

Han Ning walked in and stood beside Rong Qi, his expression haughty, and asked, “Whom are you looking for?”

Seeing the densely packed crowd, Zhong Wentao’s group immediately felt intimidated.

Especially Han Ning—his notorious reputation preceded him. Anyone who crossed paths with this university bully wouldn’t be able to stay at Capital University any longer.

But now, with so many people watching, even if he was scared, all he could do was swallow hard.

Rong Qi’s face remained cold as she stepped forward. Han Ning followed her, his hands in his pockets, confidently standing beside her. The Class One students instantly made way for them..
