Xia Wan pretended not to hear, but Liu Hua was so nervous that she clutched Xia Wan’s sleeves tightly, her whole body trembling slightly.
Xia Chen noticed something was off with Liu Hua and became wary of Brother Fang’s gaze.
“Who are you? What do you want?” Xia Chen stepped in front of Xia Wan and Liu Hua, blocking Brother Fang’s way.
Brother Fang slightly turned his body and looked at Xia Wan from the side of Xia Chen. “What? Haven’t seen me, your brother Fang, for a few days, and now you don’t recognize me?
“Also brought a man to protect yourself? Afraid that your Brother Fang is coming for revenge?
“Don’t worry! I, your Brother Fang, am generous and won’t stoop to the level of you young ladies!”
Brother Fang said this, pretending to be heroic, and laughed loudly. Xia Chen didn’t speak, just stared tightly at Brother Fang, in case he suddenly made a move.
Some classmates near Xia Wan saw this and quickly moved away from Xia Wan and the others, so as not to be implicated.
Several boys in the class exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
These days, Zhuang Peng wasn’t there, and at times like this, there was no one willing to step forward.
Song Zhi and Zhou Chen were originally sitting inside the shop, but hearing the commotion outside, they both looked out.
Seeing those few people with an unsavory air, and their target being Xia Wan, Song Zhi couldn’t help but sneer: “What’s going on? Did Xia Wan provoke trouble somewhere again?
“I always say she acts all innocent, looking like she’s uninvolved in worldly affairs and focused on studying, but behind the scenes, she’s quite the player!”
“Yes! That guy doesn’t look like a good person!” Lin Shuang, sitting next to Song Zhi, quickly agreed, “He looks like a hoodlum; I wonder how Xia Wan got mixed up with someone like that!”
Zhou Chen, seeing this, snorted coldly. “I thought she had suddenly changed, but it seems it’s just her true nature.
“Always attracting attention outside school, she even tried to use these tricks to catch my eye.
“Fortunately, I’m firm enough not to be bewitched by her.”
Song Zhi barely perceptibly sneered in disdain, then quickly returned to normal.
“Let’s not go over there, to avoid trouble.” Song Zhi said, sipping her drink leisurely, as if waiting to watch a good show.
Lin Shuang, who always followed Song Zhi’s lead, quickly agreed. “Right, right! Let Xia Wan deal with the trouble she caused!”
“Anyone who gets involved with her will end up in trouble!”
Hearing Lin Shuang’s words, several classmates who originally wanted to go over and see what was happening also began to hesitate.
Brother Fang disdainfully glanced at the students avoiding his gaze and then turned leisurely to Xia Wan. “Seems like you’re not very popular, huh!
“But don’t worry, I, Brother Fang, am a man of my word. Just come with me today and keep me company for a day, and I won’t bother you anymore! “How about that? Am I generous enough?”
After saying this, Brother Fang slightly tilted his chin to his followers behind him, eliciting a chorus of cheers.
Hearing Brother Fang’s words, Xia Chen’s expression grew even tenser.
He whispered to Xia Wan and Liu Hua, “Find a chance to leave later, I’ll figure out a way to deal with this guy!”
Xia Wan, looking at Xia Chen’s stiff back, knew he must be extremely nervous at this point.
Xia Chen had never encountered such a situation. Not just someone like Brother Fang, a well-known ruffian, but even ordinary street thugs were not something Xia Chen had ever provoked!
He could only deal with someone like Zhuang Peng!
Just as Xia Wan was about to pull Xia Chen back, Brother Fang heard Xia Chen’s words and swung a punch. “Playing the hero here, huh?”
Brother Fang, though seemingly rough and lacking genuine skills, had made a name for himself in the county town, and his punch was not light.
The punch came too quickly for Xia Chen to react and hit him directly in the left face, knocking him to the ground.
Xia Wan’s hand hadn’t even reached Xia Chen’s clothes when she saw Xia Chen fall to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Xia Wan frowned, her eyes filled with anger.
Brother Fang, seeing this, became even more excited: “Hey, look! She’s getting angry!”
Xia Chen fiercely wiped the blood from his mouth and stood again in front of Xia Wan and Liu Hua: “As long as I’m here today, don’t think about touching them!”
“Still trying to play the hero?” Brother Fang crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking at Xia Chen with disdain, “You should weigh your own capabilities!
“I advise you to step aside now! I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to cause a death!”
