Jin Suo didn't expect Li Dacheng to side with Luo Chao so quickly, and didn't expect Luo Chao to stand up for Li Dacheng. Accepting his fate, he nodded, thinking that a slap in return was bearable; Li Dacheng wouldn't dare hit hard.
Li Dacheng heard Luo Chao's words and felt a surge of emotion mixed with gratitude. In the three years of high school, no one had ever stepped up for him when he was bullied, let alone let him return the bullying. He couldn't help but feel his eyes welling up.
Luo Chao saw Li Dacheng's pathetic appearance, frowned, and said to him, "You slap him twenty times, and this matter is settled."
"What? That's not fair!"
Jin Suo froze in place upon hearing Luo Chao's words. He had only slapped Li Dacheng once, yet Luo Chao wanted Li Dacheng to slap him twenty times?!
Luo Chao raised an eyebrow upon hearing Jin Suo's words and pinched Jin Suo's shoulder, saying, "Fair? Doesn't your face burn when you say that?"
For crying out loud, when I was fighting you lot, it was me alone against your twenty-something gang. Why didn't you mention fairness then? Now you talk about fairness with me?
Thinking of this made Luo Chao somewhat angry, saying, "In my dictionary, there's no such thing as fairness. You choose: either he slaps you twenty times or I break one of your legs."
As soon as Luo Chao finished speaking, Jin Suo shivered and didn't doubt for a moment that Luo Chao was bluffing him.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll let him slap me twenty times."
"That's more like it." Luo Chao patted Jin Suo's shoulder, gave Li Dacheng a look, and said, "No need to look at my face, hit however you want."
Li Dacheng was so excited he could fly. After being bullied for three years, he finally had a chance to retaliate. How could this not excite a commoner like him?
"Alright then!" Li Dacheng said, swinging his arm and landing a loud slap.
Jin Suo's face was slapped to one side, and Li Dacheng immediately followed with another fierce slap, causing Jin Suo to stagger.
Luo Chao stood with his arms folded, watching Li Dacheng vent his anger, while Li Haili and others could only watch pitifully as Jin Suo got beaten into a pighead by Li Dacheng.
After the final slap, Luo Chao looked at Li Haili and said lightly, "Remember what you said today. I don't like people who go back on their word. If there's a next time..."
Li Haili swallowed hard and said nothing.
Seeing his goal achieved, Luo Chao turned and leisurely walked away. After finishing with Jin Suo, Li Dacheng spat on the ground and cursed, "You damn well try bullying me again!"
Walking ahead, Luo Chao heard Li Dacheng's bravado words and slightly curled up his lips, putting his hands behind his head, whistling. This feeling was damn good, like the time in elementary school when he punched Er Gouzi's tooth out in the village...
Time flies! Now Er Gouzi is said to be a father, and I haven't even gotten married. It's really maddening comparing oneself to others.
Li Dacheng caught up to Luo Chao, bouncing joyfully beside him, and gratefully said, "Luo Chao, thank you!"
Luo Chao speechlessly shook off Li Dacheng's arm and said, "No need for thanks between brothers, right? Get back to class quickly!"
Li Dacheng widened his eyes and asked, "Go back to class now?"
Luo Chao retorted, "Why not? How long until school ends?"
"About thirty minutes." Li Dacheng didn't expect Luo Chao to still be concerned about class and checked his watch before answering.
"Let's go, we're good students who abide by the law; how can we skip class!" Luo Chao grabbed Li Dacheng by the collar and headed towards the teaching building.
The last class is usually a class meeting. High school seniors don't need meetings every day, but Gao Xiangyu was annoyed by today's events. When the bell rang, he went to the podium and started lecturing the students incessantly.
Halfway through, Luo Chao knocked and entered. Gao Xiangyu was startled, realizing he had been too agitated to notice Luo Chao wasn't in the class.
"Where did you go?!" Gao Xiangyu asked, slapping the lectern excitedly.
Luo Chao was startled too, seeing all the students looking his way, and boldly smiled, "Went to the bathroom."
"Why did it take so long!" Gao Xiangyu's mood worsened at the sight of Luo Chao. Since Luo Chao's arrival, the previously peaceful class had seen bloodshed, which upset him greatly!
Luo Chao scratched his nose and lazily replied, "Had a stomach problem, teacher."
This left Gao Xiangyu stunned. A student with a stomach problem in the bathroom was a perfect excuse he couldn't criticize.
Holding back anger, Gao Xiangyu simply waved Luo Chao back to his seat.
Meanwhile, Gao Yuanyuan and Chen Xiaoqi glanced at Luo Chao. He lazily walked to his seat and sat upright, as if nothing was wrong, continuing to listen to Gao Xiangyu's lectures about life's truths.
This was all novel to Luo Chao, so he listened intently until Gao Xiangyu was practically foaming at the mouth. Finally, the dismissal bell rang.
Gao Xiangyu still wanted to continue, but Chen Xiaoqi impatiently reminded, "Teacher, school's over."
Gao Xiangyu, interrupted, coughed twice and, looking at Chen Xiaoqi, dismissively waved, saying, "Dismissed!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Xiaoqi didn't leave. They stayed until the teacher and other students left and only then did Luo Chao slowly get up to wait for Jiang Yuanyuan to go home together.
Jiang Yuanyuan put on her backpack. Chen Xiaoqi glanced at Luo Chao and saw no signs of injury, truly doubting if he even fought with Li Haili.
"Did you win?" Chen Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask.
Luo Chao didn't want to speak more about it. At this moment, Jiang Yuanyuan had already reached the door. Chen Xiaoqi cast a glance at Luo Chao before catching up with Jiang Yuanyuan.
Luo Chao saw that Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Xiaoqi both looked at him disdainfully, rubbed his nose, and thought these two girls were really a hassle; whatever he did was wrong.
But he still trailed behind them from a distance. Uncle Yuan's car was accurately waiting at the school gate, and after the girls got in, Uncle Yuan drove away from the high-end cars picking up students. Only then did Luo Chao step quickly, getting into the front seat.
As soon as he closed the door, Uncle Yuan smilingly asked, "How was your day at school today?"
Luo Chao laughed and replied, "Overall, pretty good."
Jiang Yuanyuan heard Luo Chao's words and snorted coldly. It was indeed not bad; he had handled both school bullies on his first day, nearly becoming the new school bully himself. How could "not bad" suffice to describe it?
