"Hey, did you hear? Sun Jun, the Vice President, got beaten up." A boy walked into the classroom during lunch break, speaking to his friend.
"Really? How could that happen? Sun Jun seems to handle things well; he does everything for the student council," the other student replied, sounding surprised.
"Ugh, don't mention it. He was beaten by some inconspicuous fellow. But today, Sun Jun went overboard in the library, causing a scene. I guess it has something to do with problems at his family's business. Still, he shouldn't take it out on us," the first boy complained.
Usually, Sun Jun is quite perceptive and capable in his duties, holding a decent position among the students. However, his behavior in the library today tarnished his reputation.
After all, most students do not hold positions in the student council, and many come from families with modest means. When they hear about what happened to Yang Xiaoyou, they naturally relate it to their own experiences. What would they do if they faced such treatment in the future?
As news spread, although most students didn't like Yang Xiaoyou for hitting someone, their impression of Sun Jun also diminished significantly. The explosive news of Sun Jun being attacked brought underlying tensions to the surface.
It became much harder for those wanting to add fuel to the fire; now all the students were watching. This was a situation where both sides were at fault.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!! How dare they humiliate me like this? I won't let this go!" In the infirmary, looking at his swollen face in the mirror, Sun Jun's anger erupted.
"Hey, you think making this a big deal will make it hard for me to retaliate? You're mistaken! Ugh!" After fiercely touching his swollen cheek, a hint of madness flashed in Sun Jun's eyes.
In front of the student council's notice board, a crowd had gathered around students eager to see what was happening. They looked at the newly posted disciplinary measures with astonishment.
"That's too harsh! Was that really necessary?" A boy wearing glasses exclaimed.
Nearby, others chimed in with various discussions.
"Exactly! He even imposed such severe consequences on himself. That student named Yang Xiaoyou is really in trouble now."
"Well, that's still reasonable. At least he treated everyone equally and didn't show favoritism. Sun Jun's abilities are evident, so I think it's not too bad."
"Nonsense. Sun Jun lost so many points for causing a ruckus in the Library. The one who threw the punches probably won't even qualify for the Final Exam until they make up for their credits. Without proof of passing the Final Exam, they can't participate in the college entrance exam. Do you really think that in the days to come, reducing Jun's standing will give them a chance to make up those credits?"
"True, it seems a bit excessive."
"But if he's treating himself like this, what good can come of it? It's all that fellow's fault; it's not like he was wronged."
At that moment, the students gathered here were primarily interested in finding out about the disciplinary actions taken regarding the recent fight. It wasn't a big deal, but this time, one of the participants was Yujun, a true figure of prominence at the school.
After the heavy penalty imposed on Sun Jun, who received a warning and had credits deducted, the student who threw punches, named Yang Xiaoyou, faced a record of misconduct. Based on the amount of credits deducted, his eligibility to participate in the Final Exam was revoked.
"Wow, that fellow is ruthless! Hey, take it easy," Huang Wei and a few other lively classmates approached Yang Xiaoyou to deliver the unfortunate news.
"It's fine; I can make up for it. There's still a year left," Yang Xiaoyou replied lightly. Although he was slightly surprised by Jun's actions, he didn't seem too bothered.
When it came time to make up credits, would he still be sharp with himself? Well, by then, when his family's pride slowly evaporated, he might not even have the mood for it. Moreover, with this incident occurring, there was also a significant chance he would be brushed aside in the next student council election. Even if he wanted to care, he probably wouldn't have the energy.
"Sigh, you're taking this well. If it were me, my family would have killed me," Huang Wei remarked with a hint of resignation. They had lost something but had been friends for so long; he couldn't help but feel sentimental.
Suddenly hearing Huang Wei say that made Yang Xiaoyou remember something. His expression changed slightly as his phone rang just then. Upon seeing the name displayed on the screen, an odd look crossed his face; it was Qi Qiusheng calling him for the first time since middle school.
"You brat! Look at what you've done! Get home after school today; you'll figure out dinner yourself—I'm not preparing anything!" Even holding his phone at arm's length, Yang Xiaoyou could still hear the roar from the other end. A wry smile appeared on his face.
It seems that this time, Sun Jun's revenge has indeed caused some trouble.
After class in the afternoon, Liu Lianyue was quite surprised by Yang Xiaoyou's question. She couldn't believe that he actually had a bit of backbone, looking at him with a hint of admiration. After all, his usual demeanor was one of laziness and a desire to avoid trouble.
"Why not just ask that Demoness for help? Otherwise, it really will be a hassle. Besides, she has plenty of dirt on us; there's no shortage of debts," Liu Lianyue said, poking Yang Xiaoyou during class.
It seemed she had completely accepted Liang Wuxuan's dominance and was too lazy to resist. This kind of conditioning made Yang Xiaoyou feel somewhat guilty; he didn't know why he had an inexplicable psychological shadow when it came to Liang Wuxuan.
"We'll deal with it later. Class is over now; I need to finish up at the Library and report on my work. See you," Yang Xiaoyou replied vaguely before quickly leaving the classroom, shaking off Liu Lianyue, who was trying to drag him to the Activity Room.
"How ungrateful," Liu Lianyue muttered, feeling an impulse to slip away. Now that Yang Xiaoyou wasn't coming to the Activity Room for support, facing Liang Wuxuan alone along with that occasional visitor, Zhao Liang, made her feel quite anxious.
However, thinking about the leverage Liang Wuxuan had over her, she ultimately steeled herself and headed to the Activity Room.
After working and studying at the Library, and soothing the slightly guilty Huang Ling, Yang Xiaoyou informed the administrator lady that he would be leaving before it got completely dark. He boarded the bus heading towards where Qi Menglu and the others were.
"Huh? I called you over for dinner, not this late! Have you been getting too cheeky lately?" Qi Qiusheng, whose face was nearly pressed against Yang Xiaoyou's, glared at him while reprimanding the obediently trained Xiao You.
Meanwhile, sitting on the sofa with her legs hugged close, Qi Menglu occasionally glanced over while also straining her ears to listen in on their conversation!
