Was it because he was too weak, so even Student Pei didn’t want to get too close to him?
“Are you hungry?”
It was Pei Yunge.
When Chu Zhixing looked up, he saw Pei Yunge biting onto a lollipop as she placed a bag full of snacks in front of him.
“T-Thank you!”
Overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, there was a tremble in Chu Zhixing’s voice. Meanwhile, Pei Yunge looked down quietly, as if she was thinking of something.
Chu Zhixing didn’t dare make any noise for the time being.
Suddenly, she asked, “Did you want me to protect you?”
“N-No! I can become stronger. I can protect Student Pei too…” Towards the end of his sentence, Chu Zhixing’s words became softer and softer.
However, hearing so, Pei Yunge’s eyes darkened a little. The corners of her lips slowly curled up as she suddenly asked with interest.
“Can you fight?”
Fight? Chu Zhixing’s body froze as he slowly looked down again.
“Then how do you want to protect me?” Pei Yunge chuckled slowly.
It wasn’t her first time hearing someone say that they could protect her.
But there was still some long lost anticipation.
…
Back in the classroom.
It was only when the class chairman asked Pei Yunge for her WeChat1 to invite her into the class chat that she remembered about this.
But when she glanced at the WeChat account the original her had used, she decided to create a new account instead. When she was added to the group chat, Pei Yunge didn’t pay too much attention to it. Instead, she entered a phone number.
She found an account with the nickname [Du].
Seeing this, the corners of Pei Yunge’s lips curled up slightly before she exited the option to add the account as a friend.
Her slender fingers tapped into the option to change her nickname. After some thought, she casually keyed in a new name.
…
Not too long later, in Huo Corporation, the phone on the office table suddenly vibrated.
Huo Shidu picked up the phone without even looking up. It was only after he opened the message that his thin eyelids finally glanced upwards.
His soft gaze landed on the screen.
[Older Brother’s Little Nightingale has requested to add you as a friend.]

A few seconds later, Huo Shidu’s eyes darkened indistinctly as he chuckled lowly.
“The little girl is absolutely lawless.”
…
In the afternoon.
Pei Yunge was indeed called to the office once again.
When she pushed the door open and entered the office, she saw a mature and prudent, middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, chatting with the principal.
“Principal, you asked for me?”
When Pei Yunge smiled, her eyes sparkled with a sincere sense of clarity. It made it hard for one to think that this was a student that would hit and injure others.
“Did you injure Qian Chengjun?” the principal asked with a dark expression.
Back then, in order to push this student in, the Qin family had donated a building to Hengde!
However, after he heard the random gossip and rumors, he finally found out that this wasn’t an illegitimate daughter of the Qin family or someone who had certain relations or connections like he had expected.
This was just a poor relative who relied on the Qin family and forced them to transfer her into the school.
“Yes.”
“What do your parents do?” asked the middle-aged man dressed in a suit.
Pei Yunge raised an eyebrow as she looked at the man. “I grew up in an orphanage.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It was as if he thought that she was too daring.
“Then do you know who Qian Chengjun is? He’s the future heir of the Qian Company. Student Pei, do you know what kind of consequences you have to pay with your actions?” As the middle-aged man laughed, his wrinkles deepened, though his eyes were completely cold.
“Consequences?” Pei Yunge asked in return.
“You dared to make my son kneel on glass? I’ll give you two options.” He then narrowed his eyes. “Either you be expelled, or you can go kneel on glass too.”
“President Qian, this…”
The principal was starting to panic a little too. After all, the Qin family had donated a building…
However, once President Qian glared at him, the principal had no choice but to shut up.
