My Arrogant Young Lady

"Wang Xi, how could he possibly be your match?" Tang Ning's delicate face flushed red as she glared angrily at Chen Xun.

"I don't care, I'm going to beat him up today. You can protect him, but you can't protect him hand-to-hand, can you? I'll beat him up as long as you're not around. Unless he fights me one-on-one, I'll beat him up every time I see him!" Chen Xun said coldly.

"Yes, this kid is in our class. He offended Brother Xun, so I'll definitely be beating him up often," Chai Jin laughed.

"Chen Xun, Chai Jin, you're bullying me too much!" Even though Zhang Xuan disliked me, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Get out, you slut!" Chen Xun pointed his finger at Zhang Xuan's nose and cursed.

"Chen Xun, are you cursing me?" Zhang Xuan's eyes reddened.

"Fuck you, you let this kid sleep with you, what else could you be but a slut? Stop pretending to be reserved with me, stop pretending to be reserved!" Chen Xun coldly pointed at Zhang Xuan and cursed.

There were too many onlookers, and Chen Xun's voice was too loud. After Chen Xun finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan was a very pure and innocent girl, a pampered young lady. Her pride was her life. Seeing so many people looking at her strangely, Zhang Xuan was so angry she almost cried. "Chen Xun, you're slandering me! I must have been blind to fall for a bastard like you!"

"Idiot..." Chen Xun sneered.

Seeing Zhang Xuan on the verge of tears, my heart was filled with incredibly conflicting emotions. Even though Zhang Xuan hated me, and was the one who had ruined my life, she was doing this because of me, because I had been insulted by Chen Xun. If she hadn't been protecting me alongside Tang Ning, she wouldn't have been subjected to such abuse by Chen Xun.

I finally couldn't take it anymore, I'm finally about to explode.

Gritting my teeth, I yelled at Chen Xun and Chai Jin, those two scoundrels, "One-on-one it is! Who's afraid of you!"

"Haha, he agreed to a one-on-one fight." After hearing my words, Chai Jin looked at Chen Xun with a smug look.

"Wang Xi, what are you doing? They're all thugs, how could you possibly beat them? If it's not a one-on-one fight, let's go. You can't beat them, don't fall for their provocation." Tang Ning was surprised and grabbed my clothes to leave.

"Trying to leave?" Chai Jin laughed, blocking our way with a sarcastic tone. Then, he squinted at me and said, "Kid, you'd better think this through. If you dare to run away today, we'll beat you every time we see you. But if you obediently fight us one-on-one, we might forgive you. If you win, we can even call you 'Big Brother'."

"Yeah, hurry up and win! If you win, we'll call you Big Brother!" The onlookers, eager for a spectacle, shouted.

"Don't you have any compassion? What are you yelling about? Wang Xi is a sickly man, how could he possibly beat them?" Tang Ning asked angrily when she heard everyone making a fuss.

"Sister Tang, we want to see the excitement..." some people said, feeling embarrassed.

"Wang Xi, let's go. I'll find my brother this afternoon and ask him to come and tell him for you. Don't fight with them, you can't beat them. Let's go, and cut ties with these scumbags from now on." Tang Ning tugged at my clothes again.

“You little brat, you dare to leave? If you leave, we’ll beat you every time we see you!” Chai Jin threatened me.

"Are you guys never going to stop? Huh!?" Tang Ning shouted at Chai Jin.

"Sister Tang, why don't you make up with us? If you do, we won't hit him anymore. We're such good friends, why would you break off our friendship because of him? Don't be angry with us, we need you." Chai Jin smiled.

"Make up?" Tang Ning frowned upon hearing Chai Jin's words.

"Yes, abandon him and make peace with us. We'll go back to how we were before and leave that kid alone."

Chai Jin, Chen Xun, and Tang Ning are all prominent figures in our school. They're the center of attention, and I often see them hanging out together. They're all part of the same circle, and if Tang Ning were to leave, it would diminish their prominence. Seeing the sincerity in Chai Jin's tone, Tang Ning hesitated.

I suddenly looked at them coldly and said, "Sorry, I don't need your mercy. Let's fight one-on-one!"

"What did you say?" Chai Jin asked me in surprise.

"I said, I'm not afraid of you!" My heart had been filled with pent-up anger, and I finally exploded at this moment.

At this moment, I finally saw through people's hearts. Chai Jin was treacherous and cunning, and Chen Xun was evil to the core. But Tang Ning was a good person; she was a truly good person. I could not let Tang Ning compromise herself because I reconciled with them. These were all scumbags, and I could not let a good girl like Tang Ning be corrupted by them. I had no friends before, but today I have some. I have Tang Ning, someone who truly cares about me and is good to me.

If Tang Ning reconciles with them, they will definitely keep talking badly about me. My cowardice will surely make me lose this good friend. I can't, I must be strong. I absolutely cannot let Tang Ning and Zhang Xuan return to their circle.

"Boy, you're asking for death!" Upon hearing my words, Chai Jin's eyes changed. His gaze was fierce and cruel, releasing a powerful aura that oppressed me.

"If you want to die, then die! I'm not afraid of you!" I said firmly.

"Wang Xi, what are you doing? You can't beat them at all. You're not good at fighting, and you don't have any friends. Why are you always arguing with them? Can't you just give in?" Tang Ning got impatient when she saw that I was still not convinced.

“They’re all scum, why should I respect them?” I said coldly.

“But you’re not good at fighting at all, and you don’t even have any friends to help you. How could you possibly be their match?” Tang Ning asked.

“That’s right, you can ask a friend to fight for you. But you probably don’t have any friends, do you?” Chai Jin laughed.

“He has friends, and now Tang Ning is his friend. He can ask Tang Ning to fight him one-on-one.” Chen Xun smiled, his face ashen.

The onlookers glanced at my sickly appearance, then at the petite Tang Ning. Looking at our frail duo, they all laughed.

Faced with everyone's ridicule, I couldn't help but clench my fists tightly. I couldn't bear their insults towards Tang Ning anymore, I couldn't bear their insults towards those who were good to me anymore.

I've made up my mind to fight them to the death. I know they'll kill me, but I'm not afraid.

But at that moment, a cynical laugh suddenly came from the crowd, "Who says Wang Xi has no friends? I am his friend."

"Who are you?" Chen Xun's face turned cold.

"I am Lu Zhicheng from Class 11!"

The crowd suddenly parted involuntarily, and a young man with a cigarette dangling from his lips stepped out. He wore a smile, and his gaze was arrogant.

Chapter Ten: My Heart Aches So Much

When they saw the boy's face clearly, Chen Xun's expression changed, as did Chai Jin's. The surrounding crowd, however, wore solemn expressions. Gradually, they began to whisper among themselves.

Tang Ning looked at the boy with utter surprise. Zhang Xuan's face was a picture of astonishment. Even a pretty girl beside them seemed a little shy upon seeing the boy. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but look at me, asking in surprise, "How do you have a friend like this?"

The boy had a very strong presence. His arrogant gaze impressed me.

But after hearing Zhang Xuan's words, I still felt ashamed. Because he was a kindred spirit to me, we were good friends with the same hobby.

I couldn't help but blush and say, "We just became friends out of nowhere."

"That's incredible! You're actually friends with him!" a boy next to me suddenly shouted.

"What!?" My face changed when I heard the boy's shout.

"Lu Zhicheng, the school heartthrob of our Experimental High School. Not only is he handsome, but his academic performance, character, family background, temperament, and even his basketball skills are all top-notch. This kind of person is incomparable to Chen Xun and Chai Jin. You actually have such an outstanding friend! That's amazing!" The boy gritted his teeth and shouted at Lu Zhicheng again.

"Lu Zhicheng, let's play basketball this afternoon!"

"Lu Zhicheng, I'm your fan!"

"Brother Cheng, you have to beat them!"

Instantly, the crowd erupted in cheers. The shouts were deafening, and everyone looked at Lu Zhicheng with undisguised admiration. Even Zhang Xuan gave Lu Zhicheng a few more haughty glances. Then, when she looked at me, her eyes held a special glint.

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, I was deeply shocked.

The victors are kings, the losers are villains; they all saw Lu Zhicheng's glorious side. But they didn't know he was one of my kindred spirits.

Looking at Lu Zhicheng's handsome face, I seemed to see a halo around him.

At this moment, Chen Xun's ashen face had become contorted. He coldly said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, "Lu Zhicheng, we Thirteen Eagles have always kept to ourselves. Are you going to stand up for this brat?"

“Yes, I’ll take him on one-on-one.” Lu Zhicheng smiled, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and narrowed his eyes.

"Why?" Chen Xun asked coldly.

“Because we’re kindred spirits, we’re all foot fetishists.” Lu Zhicheng grinned wickedly.

When Lu Zhicheng finished speaking, I saw Tang Ning and Zhang Xuan both look at me. Their gazes were strangely unsettling. As for me, my face was flushed red to my neck. I never dreamed he would say such a shameless thing in front of so many people.

However, the way he said it sounded so humorous.

In an instant, everyone in the crowd burst into laughter. Their laughter, though tinged with admiration, was still evident in their eyes. "No wonder he's Lu Zhicheng; he's always so humorous. Hahaha, so funny..."

After hearing what they said, I immediately fucked them.

All I did was steal a pair of stockings, and everyone looked down on me, ostracized me, and discriminated against me. Meanwhile, Lu Zhicheng openly admitted to having a foot fetish in front of so many people, and people called it humor.

This world is so unfair! I want to become like Lu Zhicheng!

After Lu Zhicheng finished speaking, Chen Xun's expression turned even more unpleasant. He didn't believe Lu Zhicheng was that kind of person either. He coldly looked at Lu Zhicheng and nodded, saying, "Fine, you actually came up with a random excuse to stand up for Wang Xi. Very well, so you're going to oppose the Thirteen Eagles?"

"Of course I wouldn't dare, I'm just fighting for Wang Xi." Lu Zhicheng smiled.

"Are you really going to fight?" Chai Jin asked, taking a deep breath.

"We really have to fight." Lu Zhicheng smiled.

"Okay, let's fight!"

The sky grew even darker and more yellow, as if a thin layer of gray had been cast over it. At that moment, the wind stopped, and the air became incredibly humid.

Lu Zhicheng and Chen Xun faced off in this way, and gradually the crowd began to retreat. A large open space was left for the two of them to stand in the middle of the crowd.

I never dreamed that a guy I'd just met would stand up for me. And his reason was that we were kindred spirits.

My heart was touched, and my nose tingled. Just then, I saw Lu Zhicheng smile at me and say, "Wang Xi, do you know why I helped you?"

“Because we are kindred spirits,” I said.

“Of course, but there are other reasons as well,” Lu Zhicheng said with a smile.

"Another reason?" I looked at him in surprise.

“I like you as a friend because you are self-reliant,” Lu Zhicheng said.

After hearing Lu Zhicheng's words, a strange feeling welled up inside me. At that moment, I saw his expression suddenly change. "Lu Zhicheng, be careful!"

"How despicable!" Lu Zhicheng immediately dodged Chen Xun's fist and glared at him fiercely.

Chen Xun suddenly launched a sneak attack on Lu Zhicheng. After Lu Zhicheng dodged his punch, Chen Xun attacked again. He was very aggressive and appeared very fierce. Punch after punch landed on Lu Zhicheng.

Lu Zhicheng simply dodged quietly, his expression growing increasingly serious as he watched Chen Xun's fists strike. Gradually, a smile appeared on Lu Zhicheng's face.

The man quickly threw a punch, easily knocking Chen Xun to the ground.

When Chen Xun collapsed, the crowd erupted in cheers. Zhang Xuan and Tang Ning both looked at him with delight, their admiration evident.

Beside me, a boy was acting as a commentator. He seemed very excited, grabbing my arm and saying, "Chen Xun is a very good fighter, the kind who goes all out. He has a strong presence; he can take on three people by himself."

"But Lu Zhicheng, his athletic performance is the best. Don't let his lazy appearance fool you, he used to beat five hooligans like Chen Xun."

"What? He's that strong?" I asked in surprise.

"We went to the same junior high school. I remember seeing him chasing after three high school students with his backpack back then." The boy's expression was one of undisguised pride.

Just as the boy said, Chen Xun was no match for Lu Zhicheng. He got up twice, but Lu Zhicheng easily knocked him down both times.

Looking at Lu Zhicheng's smiling face, Chen Xun suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Zhicheng, you're very good at fighting. But you don't seem to have any close friends, do you?"

“Now we have it, Wang Xi,” Lu Zhicheng said with a smile.

"Heh, too bad he's a piece of trash." With a sneer, Chen Xun's face suddenly contorted into a more ferocious expression. He clenched his fists and roared, "What the hell are you all looking at? Come on, come help me! Let's all take him on one-on-one!"

"Chen Xun, you are despicable." Upon hearing Chen Xun's words, Lu Zhicheng's expression changed drastically.
