Chapter 121
The next day at noon, in the cafeteria.
Wei Shixu still had injuries on his face, with flesh-colored band-aids covering them.
Kong Mingze was ranting beside him: "Who did this? Damn it, I'll beat them up! Are the punks these days so bold that they dare to attack people near the school? Why did they hit you? Shouldn't you have a bodyguard or something? This is infuriating!"
Wei Shixu's expression remained calm and indifferent, letting Kong Mingze chatter on.
The two of them got their food and were about to sit down nearby.
Kong Mingze was still talking nonstop.
"Shh." Wei Shixu suddenly made a gesture, changing direction and moving to a different spot.
Kong Mingze immediately shut up and followed him.
The cafeteria had long tables, with seats placed close to each other.
After Wei Shixu and Kong Mingze quietly took their seats, they could clearly hear the conversation between two people sitting in front of them with their backs turned.
One was Lu Li, and the other was a male classmate from Class 5.
The classmate was eating casually and asked, "So you got caught abusing your student council power? How are you going to get close to Quan Zhisui now?"
Lu Li's expression darkened: "Chase her? Forget it! She's like a vice-principal, always so serious and stiff. It's so annoying!"
The classmate chuckled: "Maybe she's just serious about her responsibilities?"
Lu Li sounded irritated: "She's so weird. It's already May, and she's still wearing long sleeves."
The classmate was puzzled: "What's wrong with wearing long sleeves? Some girls in our class wear them too."
Lu Li: "Are you really clueless or just pretending? Haven't you seen the photos and videos of her playing basketball in short sleeves?"
The classmate: "Yeah, I saw her dunking. What about it?"
Lu Li's tone took on a different tone: "She has a big chest! But she always covers it up with a jacket..."
Before he could finish his sentence.
Wei Shixu suddenly stood up...
Turned around, and with force!
Slammed Lu Li's head into the food tray!
Bang!
A loud crash echoed through the cafeteria.
The force of the blow was so strong that blood instantly gushed from Lu Li's nose!
The classmate across from him jumped up in shock, his clothes splattered with food.
Lu Li was completely dazed, just lifting his head...
Bang!
Another hit!
Wei Shixu grabbed his own tray and smashed it down on Lu Li's head again!
The double impact left Lu Li's face covered in blood and his head drenched in food.
Lu Li's anger flared instantly. He cursed and turned around, only to become even more furious when he saw it was Wei Shixu.
"You sickly weakling!!!"
He roared, lunging forward and grabbing Wei Shixu by the collar, ready to throw punches regardless of the consequences.
Kong Mingze quickly stood up to intervene...
But someone moved even faster!
Quan Zhisui rushed over, grabbed Kong Mingze's tray from the table, and slammed it into Lu Li's face!
Bang!
The force was so strong that it separated Lu Li and Wei Shixu, sending Lu Li stumbling backward and falling to the ground.
When Lu Li shook his head and looked up, he saw Quan Zhisui glaring coldly at him.
Wei Shixu, meanwhile, stood behind her, smiling at Lu Li with a look that was...
Utterly infuriating!
Lu Li had been hit three times, drenched in food, and now faced the cold stares of the two. He was beyond furious!
"Quan Zhisui! You're hitting me for that sickly weakling?!" he shouted.
After all the time they'd spent together, she didn't hesitate to hit him for Wei Shixu?
Wei Shixu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "He called me a sickly weakling."
Quan Zhisui's anger flared, and she stepped forward, warning Lu Li: "Say that again and see what happens!"
Lu Li was completely losing it: "You're defending Wei Shixu? What is he to you that you'd protect him like this?!"
Quan Zhisui: "What's it to you? As long as I'm here, no one touches Wei Shixu!"
Wei Shixu glanced up at the cafeteria ceiling, his lips curling into a smug and satisfied smile.
Lu Li stood up, glaring at Quan Zhisui, and said angrily, "Fine, fine, you're something else, Quan Zhisui."
Quan Zhisui remained silent, calmly watching him.
Lu Li suddenly said, "You were eating the snacks I gave you, and now you're siding with Wei Shixu against me. Is this your sense of morality and character?"
Wei Shixu frowned, his gaze sweeping over Lu Li like he was looking at trash.
Kong Mingze was too stunned to come up with a retort, though he felt something was off but couldn't quite put it into words.
The onlookers were also pondering, feeling the same way as Kong Mingze—something wasn't right, but they couldn't pinpoint it.
She did eat the snacks...
"If you want to settle accounts, fine!" Quan Zhisui smiled coldly, her words sharp and cutting. "I taught you the 28 Forms of Tai Chi for three weeks. At the Martial Arts School's minimum rate, that's 2,000 yuan per person. Five people total 10,000 yuan. Pay up."
"What?!" Lu Li's face was filled with shock.
Quan Zhisui stared at him: "Did you think my teaching was free? This is already a bargain. If my senior brother were teaching, the price would be five times higher. Stop wasting my time and pay up."
Lu Li's expression twisted in anger!
The crowd suddenly understood and nodded in agreement. They had felt something was off, and now it made sense.
Cheap snacks? Master-level teaching?
These two things weren't even comparable!
In terms of effort, Quan Zhisui had over a decade of martial arts experience and had personally taught five people for three weeks. Not everyone had that opportunity.
And you're bringing up snacks?
How ridiculous!
The situation had completely turned around, and Quan Zhisui handled it effortlessly.
Kong Mingze clapped enthusiastically beside her!
Wei Shixu gave Lu Li another look, his eyes filled with disdain.
This is the level you're at?
"What's going on here?!" A teacher arrived.
It was Vice-Principal Zhang Li.
Zhuge Ying followed closely behind, frowning at the scene.
Knowing he was at a disadvantage, Lu Li quickly spoke up: "Mr. Zhang, Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui ganged up on me."
He glared coldly at Quan Zhisui, his eyes filled with resentment.
Zhang Li frowned: "Why did you two hit him?"
"He insulted Quan Zhisui."
"He tried to hit Wei Shixu."
Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui spoke simultaneously.
Lu Li forced himself to stay calm and argued, "Teacher, I didn't lay a hand on anyone, but now I'm covered in food and bleeding."
Kong Mingze stepped forward: "Mr. Zhang, what Lu Li said was really inappropriate..."
So inappropriate that he couldn't even bring himself to repeat it!
If Wei Shixu hadn't acted so quickly, he would've stood up and punched Lu Li himself.
Lu Li remained composed: "I didn't say anything. I was just sitting here eating when they suddenly attacked me."
At that moment, the classmate who had been sitting across from Lu Li raised his hand: "Uh, teacher, I happened to have a voice recorder on me."
He then pulled out a recorder from his pocket and handed it over.
Lu Li's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
What? Why do you have a recorder? And why did you record that conversation?
On purpose?!
Zhang Li took the recorder and listened for a while.
The recording started from the phrase "abusing student council power," followed by words like "vice-principal" and "stiff."
Coincidentally, Zhang Li was the vice-principal himself!
The recording continued until Lu Li made the comment about Quan Zhisui's figure...
Things were getting serious!
Lu Li's face turned pale in an instant!
