My Arrogant Young Lady

Then he laughed. His laugh held a hidden murderous intent. "Wang Xi, what did you just say?"

"I..." Looking at Young Master Bao's smile, fear began to creep into my heart. He was the eldest brother of the Thirteen Eagles, and everyone here belonged to the Thirteen Eagles. Any one of them, even a low-ranking member, could beat me to a pulp. How could I not be afraid?

But then I thought of Lu Zhicheng, who had risked going against the Thirteen Eagles for my sake. I clenched my fists and looked at him earnestly, saying, "I'm sorry, but I would never betray my friend!"

"Oh..." Young Master Bao blinked after hearing what I said.

At that moment, I gradually sensed the killing intent emanating from Young Master Bao. Simultaneously, a tremendous sense of danger surged from all directions around me. I clearly saw their expressions change, and Chen Xun looked at me with a meaningful smile. They gradually became fierce, already intending to attack me.

I was no match for them at all, and I was terrified.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered the method that Lu Zhicheng had taught me.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; run!

I only thought for a second before I turned and ran. I was so panicked that my vision blurred.

But after running only two steps, I bumped hard into someone.

The man was very hard; it felt like I'd bumped into a rock. I winced in pain, then closed my eyes and yelled, "You bunch of thugs, all you do is gang up on the weak! Do whatever you want, I'll never betray my friends!"

I roared, then closed my eyes, bracing myself for their blows. I was ready to use my courage to cherish my friends.

However, to my surprise, they did not hit me.

One second, two seconds, and gradually, I couldn't help but open my eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes, a look of joy immediately appeared in them.

The person I just bumped into was Lu Zhicheng!?

At that moment, I saw Lu Zhicheng smiling at me. His eyes were slightly red, and he looked at me with gentle eyes. Standing beside him were two beautiful girls, Zhang Xuan and Tang Ning. There were also several other young men, each with dyed hair.

“Wang Xi, I knew I hadn’t misjudged you.” With a smile, Lu Zhicheng gently raised his head.

"Big Chicken Bro, what brings you here? What, want to have some fried rice together?" Young Master Bao's lazy voice came from behind.

"Hehe, just passing by with nothing better to do. What's up, bullying your classmate again?" A young man with dyed hair laughed, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

"No, we're just chatting," Young Master Bao said with a smile.

"Oh, then it's best if it's just a chat." The young man with dyed hair laughed, then glanced at me. "Hey bro, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." I shook my head gently.

"If there's nothing else, let's go," said the young man with dyed hair.

"Okay." I nodded again.

I glanced at Young Master Bao and his group, then walked out of the restaurant with the dyed-hair youth. As we went outside, I saw they were still staring intently at me. Chen Xun had a gloomy expression, and his gaze was strange. Young Master Bao, on the other hand, was secretly observing Tang Ning, lost in thought.

After we had walked quite a distance, the young man with dyed hair stopped and spoke to us. Looking at me and then at Lu Zhicheng, the young man frowned and said to Tang Ning, "Little Tang, what's wrong with your two friends? Why are they getting into a fight with the Thirteen Eagles? That young master Bao's family is very rich, why are your two friends provoking them?"

"It wasn't those two who provoked Young Master Bao, it was Young Master Bao who provoked them. Didn't you see? Young Master Bao was about to hit Wang Xi just now." Tang Ning frowned, somewhat displeased.

After hearing Tang Ning's words, the man with dyed hair glanced at me and Lu Zhicheng. He didn't say anything when he saw Lu Zhicheng's designer clothes. But after looking at my ordinary school uniform and worn-out sneakers, he immediately frowned. "Your family is nothing, so don't go against people. He's a rich young master; do you think a nobody like you can handle him?"

"Didn't we say that it was Young Master Bao and the others who bullied Wang Xi?" Tang Ning immediately exclaimed.

"Oh, then come to me if you need anything, but don't cause trouble all the time." He glanced at me again, then the man with the dyed hair and his group left.

It was obvious that these guys with dyed hair were thugs from outside the school. They were older and spoke with a mature tone. I thought to myself, "Wow, the guys from outside the school are really something; they took me away in no time." I was quite grateful to them; I didn't take their disdain for me seriously.

Then it was just Lu Zhicheng, Zhang Xuan, Tang Ning, and me left. We looked at each other and smiled. Lu Zhicheng quickly flashed a bright white smile, then extended his hand to Tang Ning and said, "Thank you. If you hadn't contacted your brother's friend, I really wouldn't have been able to rescue Wang Xi!"

"It's alright, it's all I should do." Tang Ning generously extended her small hand.

I saw the two of them shake hands sincerely, and Lu Zhicheng's eyes showed no other intention whatsoever. I thought to myself, he really wasn't here to pick up girls, he was here to form an alliance with Tang Ning.

"It's too cold, shall we find a restaurant to talk?" Lu Zhicheng said earnestly, holding Tang Ning's small hand.

"Okay!" Tang Ning smiled and her eyes crinkled.

There are quite a few restaurants outside our school, and they're all delicious. We randomly picked a small restaurant and went in to sit down. It's winter now, and it gets cold standing outside for too long. As soon as we sat down, Zhang Xuan and Tang Ning started rubbing their hands together.

"Order whatever you want, it's on me," Lu Zhicheng said.

"Whatever, Xiao Tang and I are on a diet." Zhang Xuan glanced arrogantly at the grease on the table and frowned slightly.

"Oh, then let's just order a few of our specialty dishes," Lu Zhicheng said.

Soon, Lu Zhicheng ordered several stir-fries and four bowls of rice. Then he ordered four bottles of soda, and said to us, "Tang Ning, you've seen it too. Young Master Bao not only wants to deal with me, but also with Wang Xi. I think we can't just sit here and wait to be killed. I need your support. Join us; we need a heavyweight like you."

"Join you?" Tang Ning looked at him in surprise.

“That’s right, everyone who joins us is doing it for stockings. And you, Zhang Xuan, join us too!” Lu Zhicheng said earnestly.

"Me?" Zhang Xuan almost dropped her soda after wiping the mouth of the bottle with a tissue.

“That’s right. If you’re willing to join us, we’ll have four people,” Lu Zhicheng said earnestly.

Seeing Zhang Xuan's wide eyes, I sat to the side feeling quite embarrassed. I'd always had a hard time accepting the names Lu Zhicheng had given us. And now he was brazenly inviting Tang Ning and Zhang Xuan, even mentioning our names so casually. Feeling rather awkward, I quickly said to Lu Zhicheng, "Brother Cheng, you're joking, right? How could Zhang Xuan and Tang Ning possibly join us? Besides, our names are so corny..."

“No, I think this name sounds great and is very trendy,” Tang Ning suddenly interrupted me.

"What?" I couldn't help but widen my eyes after hearing Tang Ning's words.

"Country bumpkin, that's definitely a better name than Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles. Wang Xi, you really have no sense of fashion at all." Zhang Xuan also looked at me with a mocking gaze.

"What!?" I stared wide-eyed again after hearing Zhang Xuan's words.

I've always thought this name was terribly awful, and Lu Zhicheng always felt a little ashamed whenever he mentioned it. But now, I never expected Tang Ning and Zhang Xuan to say it sounded nice. Then I couldn't help but glance at Lu Zhicheng, and I saw him looking at me with a smug expression. I was instantly bewildered. I wondered if I was really that outdated.

Then I heard Tang Ning say, "Lu Zhicheng, your names are indeed much better than the Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles. But if it comes to fighting, Xuanxuan and I can't help you."

"It's okay, just have your brother protect us. With your brother protecting us, I believe we can defeat the Thirteen Eagles." Lu Zhicheng said, sounding excited. Ignoring the cold, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Look at these muscles of mine, I can definitely take on several of them by myself. Then, with Wang Xi supporting me and constantly healing me, I'm sure I can wipe them all out."

"Can you heal yourself while fighting?" Tang Ning asked in surprise.

"Well, even if he can't heal or cause trouble, it's still good. Anyway, having more helpers is better than having none. Wang Xi is actually quite useful," Lu Zhicheng said earnestly.

"Hehe, I didn't see that coming." Zhang Xuan gave me a disdainful look and then pouted.

Zhang Xuan always mocks me, and I'm used to it. But seeing her look down on me like that still makes me a little uncomfortable. I thought to myself, just you wait. Once I help Lu Zhicheng defeat the Thirteen Eagles, you'll see how powerful I am.

"Wang Xi, were you beaten up by them just now?" Tang Ning frowned when she saw that my school uniform was a little dirty.

"Yeah, I bumped into it, but it wasn't really a fight..." I said quietly, afraid of being embarrassed.

"Who hit him? Who was it?" Lu Zhicheng asked.

“Qian Jin, he bumped into him,” I said.

“Alright, we’ll deal with Qian Jin tonight. He happens to be the least influential member of the Thirteen Eagles, and he’s in the same class as Wang Xi. Taking care of Qian Jin will stop him from constantly causing trouble for Wang Xi,” Lu Zhicheng said.

"Okay, then I'll help you out tonight." Thinking about how Qian Jin always caused me trouble, I felt incredibly resentful.

The food arrived quickly, and the four of us ate and chatted. Lu Zhicheng and I ate most of the food, Tang Ning ate a little, and Zhang Xuan didn't eat anything. Right there in the restaurant, Lu Zhicheng managed to pull Tang Ning and Zhang Xuan into our group. Then we planned to get rid of Qian Jin tonight.

"From now on, we're comrades-in-arms." After lunch, we walked together towards the school. As we walked, Lu Zhicheng excitedly looked at the two girls and said this.

“No problem, I will do my best to help you. But Wang Xi isn’t good at fighting, so you must protect him,” Tang Ning said to Lu Zhicheng.

"Don't worry, I can protect myself. I will definitely become an excellent support player," I quickly said from the side.

As I spoke, I couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xuan. If I wasn't mistaken, she would definitely mock me. However, at that moment, I suddenly heard a strange, snickering laugh. It was a girl's laughter, a beautiful voice, yet it seemed to carry endless sarcasm.

Surprised, I turned around abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ning asked me.

"fine……"

Looking behind me, I couldn't help but frown. There was no one there. I wondered if I'd misheard. Then I blinked and looked at them. Seeing they didn't react, we continued walking towards the school.

As I walked, I couldn't help but look back again...

Chapter Nineteen: Excellent Support

Looking at the empty space behind us, I frowned slightly. There was still nothing behind us. But I had a feeling that we were being watched. It seemed like someone was following us.

Then I saw that Lu Zhicheng and Zhang Xuan didn't react, and I thought it might just be my imagination. I'm just an ordinary person, why would anyone be following me?

When school ended in the evening, Lu Zhicheng came to find me. He wanted to help me get rid of Chai Jin so that Chai Jin would stop causing me trouble in class.

As he entered the classroom, we stole a glance at Chai Jin. Chai Jin immediately yelled, "What are you looking at? Trying to mess with me?"

"Brother Cheng, how are we going to raid the woodshed?" The thought of raiding the woodshed made me a little nervous.

"Come out with me first," Lu Zhicheng said softly.

I nodded, and Lu Zhicheng and I walked out of the classroom. School had already let out, and many students were heading out of the school building. As we walked, Lu Zhicheng said to me, "There are too many people in the school. It wouldn't be good if the teachers found out we were fighting. Chai Jin is a boarding student; he'll definitely go back to his dorm to rest after he finishes eating. Let's go to his dorm and beat them up."

“Okay, I’ll help you,” I said.

After hearing what I said, Lu Zhicheng patted my shoulder and laughed, "Brother Xi, you've always been a bit eccentric. It's not your fault that you're not good at fighting. I was just joking when I said I'd ask you to be my support. Just take care of yourself. Don't worry, I should be able to handle a whole group of them by myself."

"Hmm." Hearing Lu Zhicheng's words, I felt a pang of sadness. Although Lu Zhicheng didn't intend for me to help him, I genuinely wanted to fight for him.

We grabbed a quick bite outside, and then Lu Zhicheng and I started timing ourselves. At 6:40, Lu Zhicheng immediately stood up. "That's about it, let's go!"

"Okay!" I gritted my teeth, my heart pounding.

We walked across the campus basketball court to the dormitory area. Passing the girls' dormitory, we entered the boys' dormitory. My heart was pounding as I stepped inside. Looking at Lu Zhicheng, I saw he seemed a little nervous too.

"Brother Cheng, why don't we ask Chai Jin later? If he stops bullying me, then we won't beat him up anymore," I said to Lu Zhicheng after thinking for a moment.

"You want to reconcile with him?" Lu Zhicheng looked at me in surprise.

"It's not exactly a reconciliation, it's just that he didn't curse at me last night. I don't think it's a good idea for us to just suddenly go in and beat him up," I said.

"So, you forgot about him hitting you at noon?" Lu Zhicheng asked me.

"This..." Thinking of the kick Chai Jin gave me at noon, I was a little embarrassed.

As we spoke, we arrived at the door of Chai Jin's dormitory. The two of them took a deep breath at the same time, and Lu Zhicheng pushed open their door.

"Haha, we've been waiting for you guys!"

The moment Lu Zhicheng pushed open the door, I saw that Chai Jin's dormitory was full of people. Chai Jin was sitting at a table, holding a baseball bat and laughing loudly.

"Damn it, we've been ambushed!" Lu Zhicheng exclaimed in shock, grabbed me, and turned to run.

However, it was too late for us to run. Just as the two of them turned around, two more dormitory doors opened in front of us. A dozen or so students rushed out, each wielding a weapon, and charged at us.

"Damn it!" Lu Zhicheng was a good student with excellent grades. However, he had a strong sense of masculinity and would often utter a few curse words.

As a student swung a broom at us, Lu Zhicheng kicked him, sending him sprawling. Just then, Chai Jin and his gang rushed out from behind us, and Lu Zhicheng quickly turned and kicked them as well.
