Chapter 48

48 Too Vicious
After school, Gu Man chose to walk on a relatively quiet path. On the way, she had to pass by a small forest.
There were earpieces stuffed into her ears and she was immersed in the song when someone suddenly blocked her way.
Gu Man looked up. There were seven or eight girls standing in front of her. They looked very strong.
Gu Man recalled that she did not know these girls and did not know who they were standing up for.
The provocation was endless. It was extremely boring.
When the girls saw that Gu Man did not panic and only looked at them with her deep eyes that revealed impatience, they exploded.
If Gu Man had panicked and begged for mercy, they might have let her off. In the end, not only did she not panic, she even looked at them with disdain.
A fat girl couldn’t help but mock her in a rough voice, “Gu Man, you country bumpkin. How dare you hit someone in the cafeteria? How dare you be so arrogant?”
Gu Man thought to herself: so they are standing up for what had happened in the cafeteria. It seemed that her words back then were not intimidating enough.
“You have to kneel down to us today and crawl out,” another girl shouted.
“What if I don’t?” Gu Man put her hands in her pockets and asked coldly without even taking off her earpiece.
“If you don’t do as we say, I’ll let you have a taste of something even more powerful!”
“Stop dilly-dallying! If you have any tricks up your sleeve, use them!” Gu Man was impatient when she saw that the other party only knew how to say harsh words.
“You’re asking for a beating!” The fat girl was about to pounce on Gu Man.
Suddenly, a male voice sounded. “Hey, you steamed bun. You’re like a roasted prawn when you’re angry.”
These words were too impactful.
The fat girl turned around to look at the source of the voice, but to her surprise, she staggered and fell. The male voice sounded again. “The roasted prawn fell and got dirty. It’s even more unbearable to look at.”
The fat girl fell to the ground and wailed.
She hated it the most when people called her steamed bun. Now, she had another nickname, roasted prawn. She wanted to die!
At this moment, two boys slowly walked out from the shade. They were Jiang Yi and Lu You!
Jiang Yi didn’t stop talking. She opened her mouth and scolded the other girls. “That, the one with the short hair. Yes, it’s you! Why does your nose look like a pig’s nose? It’s heavy, right?”
“And you, the one with the fringe. Your fringe is so ugly. Was it bitten by a pig?”
“The one with a red hair tie, what are you looking at? Can you retract your stomach? I can already see a chunk of your belly!”
“The one with the pink school bag. You look so manly, but why are you carrying such a pink school bag? You don’t have any taste, do you?”
…
After his insults, the eight girls opposite them were all shot. If they were insulted by a girl, they would definitely be angry and pounce over to fight. But now, the one who scolded them was a guy, and a handsome guy at that. This was too lethal.
The girls were first shocked, then their faces flushed red, and then they squatted down and cried.
Gu Man looked at Jiang Yi’s ruffian-like appearance and wanted to say, “Didn’t we agree that if it could be settled physically, we wouldn’t settle it verbally? Isn’t this too immoral?”
And was it really good for a boy to have such a vicious mouth?
On second thought, these girls were looking for trouble for no reason and deserved to be taught a lesson. They deserved it!
“Thank you!” Gu Man said as she waved her hand and left.
Jiang Yi said proudly, “It’s fine. I can’t stand such evil acts where they outnumber someone to bully them!”
Then, he said fiercely to the girls, “I’ll remember you. If you dare to cause trouble again, I’ll go to your class and scold you until you don’t dare to appear in Han City First High School again.”
The girls trembled. They were not afraid of fighting, but Jiang Yi’s mouth was too vicious.
These girls wanted to stand up for others to fill their disappointment of feeling inferior because they did not look good.
Now that they were scolded by Jiang Yi so blatantly, they all wanted to crawl into a hole and bury themselves.
After the warning, Jiang Yi and Lu You chased after Gu Man and asked while panting, “Are you going home now?”
Gu Man nodded.
“Is your family coming to pick you up or are you taking the bus?” Jiang Yi asked again.
Gu Man did not answer and walked straight to the bus stop.
Gu Man boarded a bus, and Jiang Yi followed her. Seeing Gu Man look over, Jiang Yi immediately smiled and said, “What a coincidence. I’m also taking this bus.”
Gu Man couldn’t be bothered with him. She just listened to the song and looked out of the window.
