A Young Woman's Heart

In reality, there aren't many girls who are truly malicious, but if there are a few ringleaders, others will inevitably or subconsciously join in.

This is the herd mentality.

In fact, each time, only seven or eight people, including the boys, actually took action.

Of the fifty-two students in the class, about seventeen or eighteen were girls who were good-for-nothings and acted like hooligans. They were divided into two factions: one faction was relatively low-key, while the other faction was particularly radical and always wanted to cause trouble.

Li Gutao got into trouble again.

The insulated lunchbox was dropped on the ground, spilling the food that had only been eaten a couple of times all over the place, and a corner of the expensive insulated box that my mother had bought was also chipped.

Although he is a nice guy, even a bit of a pushover, he has a very good temper and rarely gets angry. He also has a code of conduct that doesn't stoop to the level of women.

But, this is practically shitting on someone's head; no normal man could tolerate that.

Not to mention him, who was full of youthful vigor.

Those girls who thought they could bully the weak with numbers probably never imagined that Li Gutao would be so ferocious when he unleashed his power.

One person beat up seven people, including two boys and five girls.

Even so, he tried his best not to hit her in the face, but in the end he couldn't help but hit the girl who was scratching his face, and all his punches landed on her face.

The young delinquent was disfigured as a result and threatened to sue her parents.

If the parents find out, the trouble will probably be even bigger.

In severe cases, all of the family's savings may not be enough to cover the compensation.

Li Gutao is not an unreasonable person, but how many people can tolerate anger?

And no matter how he explained, the teachers thought it was no big deal. They thought, "She's a girl, can't we just be more tolerant?"

The main issue is that everyone else unanimously says it wasn't intentional, so in the end, he's the one who seems petty.

"Damn it!" Li Gutao couldn't help but curse inwardly. This mountain of troubles made him wish he could tear the door apart and smash it on the head of that strangely shaped female head teacher.

Just like in Tom and Jerry, half of the cat's body is outside the door and half is inside.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Still dare to laugh? You've got no shame." The head of student affairs said sneer.

Li Gutao ignored her, because he was currently indulging in his own self-deceptive, Ah Q-like mental victory.

Stories in novels where a boy gets into a fight with a delinquent girl and the girl falls in love with him are just nonsense.

In fact, no matter how beautiful a woman is, if you despise her from the bottom of your heart, she is no different from a lump of semi-liquid, semi-viscous excrement.

After he finished writing his self-criticism, the school gave him a serious warning and called his parents, telling him to come to the school immediately that day.

The delinquent girl's mother has arrived. She's a woman who's as fat as a pig, with a huge gold chain around her neck, looking like a landlady who owns several properties in the city.

Li Gutao felt that life had become even darker.

He really wanted to be hysterical and give up, but reason told him that it was better not to make things worse at this point. So even when the fat woman pointed at his nose and cursed him, he could only wipe the saliva off his face and show that he didn't care.

—Actually, I care about it terribly.

It's so annoying, really annoying.

Before long, Li Gutao's mother arrived.

She clearly couldn't believe that her obedient and sensible son, who had no bad habits except for slightly poor grades, would hit a woman. But faced with 'conclusive evidence,' she had no choice but to lower her head and apologize to others.

"Luckily, the injury isn't serious, but if it leaves a scar and makes it impossible for my precious daughter to get married, no amount of compensation will be enough!" the fat woman roared.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it was my son's fault. How much compensation would be appropriate?"

"How much? Heh, we'll have to wait for the treatment results! But it'll cost at least ten thousand yuan, right?"

"Ten thousand...?" Li Gutao's mother's eyes widened.

"Heh, or have your son apologize to my daughter. If she can accept it and the situation isn't too serious, we might consider letting you pay less."

Li Gutao clenched his fists, looking at his mother who was humbly apologizing, and wished he had a machine gun in his hand to shoot everyone in front of him.

After everything was over, it was almost time to go home from school.

Today, he was too lazy to even carry his schoolbag and left school with his mother.

"What exactly happened?" the mother asked, taking a deep breath and trying to remain calm.

Li Gutao finally seemed relieved and angrily recounted everything that had happened from beginning to end.

"You're still too impulsive."

"I tried my best to bear it," Li Gutao said helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do, you're just a child after all." His mother patted his head. "Don't worry, I'll explain to the school leaders for you later."

"What's the use?"

"It's alright...nothing serious will happen."

Looking at his mother comforting him, Li Gutao felt as if his heart was being torn apart, a sharp pain gripping him.

"Mom, you should go home first. I want to clear my head."

"Okay." His mother nodded tolerantly and stuffed a crumpled five-yuan note into his hand. "If you get hungry, buy yourself something to eat."

"Need not……"

"It's alright, take it. I was planning to give it to you anyway."

“…” Li Gutao took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

He wandered aimlessly through the streets, passing by Yukong High School once again.

Unlike that dilapidated vocational high school that had no student atmosphere, Yukong High School, although not a key high school, had a very school-like feel.

Ironically, he actually envied something that should have been perfectly normal.

I should have chosen another vocational high school. In fact, there are several other vocational high schools in Hangzhou with just as good school spirit as regular high schools...

The students filed out, exuding youthful energy, and the girls' short skirts made Li Gutao's mind wander.

It was like self-anesthesia; I was so stunned by what I saw.

Perhaps he really needs something else to distract himself, although staring like that makes him look a bit like a perverted sex maniac.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure; it was 'Mo Xueyao's sister'.

Seeing her was like seeing an old best friend, which made him feel instantly happy.

"Hey--"

Li Gutao, who did not know her name, could only wave his hand and shout.

She clearly noticed him, glancing at him a few times with a slightly evasive look, as if trying to pretend she didn't see him, but after hesitating, she still walked up to him.

"How's it going?" she asked as she approached.

Behind me were students excited because school was letting out early on Friday. Many were discussing where to go play before going home, while others were talking about the funny things that happened at school that day.

"I beat them up," Li Gutao said, shrugging.

"Looks like it's resolved?"

“No…uh…” Li Gutao hesitated for a moment, but decided not to worry the other party, “It’s more or less resolved.”

“But you don’t seem to be in a good mood.” The other person laughed, and like an old best friend, casually sat down on the flower bed next to him.

"Ah... I got punished for hitting a girl, and I might have to pay compensation." Li Gutao lowered his head helplessly.

“The other extreme.” Li Wanyan pushed up her black-rimmed glasses meaningfully, while also wondering how Mo Xueyao would explain this to her former best friend.

"Ah... how much compensation do we need?" Mo Xueyao was most sensitive to this.

"That fat bastard shamelessly asked for ten thousand. With her daughter, I wouldn't take her even if she paid me ten thousand. They're both so ugly anyway, I guess you could say I gave her plastic surgery!"

That's not true, of course; that delinquent girl was actually quite good-looking.

"Ten thousand?" Mo Xueyao gasped. "There's no way we could possibly lose that much, is there?"

"Who knows? What if it really leaves a scar... that might not even be enough." Li Gutao scratched his head in frustration.

"Wanyan, you should go back first." Mo Xueyao looked at Li Wanyan who was standing to the side.

Li Wanyan nodded knowingly and turned to leave.

Mo Xueyao raised an eyebrow at him: "Let's go, Tao, let's go to the arcade to relax?"

"Your tone is just like Xiaoyao's."

"Because I am Xiaoyao," Mo Xueyao replied with a smile, no longer intending to hide it.

"what?"

"Let's talk as we walk." Mo Xueyao bought a packet of instant noodles for fifty cents at a small shop near the school gate, crushed it, opened it, and handed it to Li Gutao. "Want some?"

"Oh..." Li Gutao instinctively grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, only to realize that it seemed to be his favorite tomato-flavored instant noodles.

The streets were relatively empty, and Mo Xueyao and Li Gutao walked closer and closer. Then, she began to quietly recount the 'lie' she had told Li Wanyan.

"Huh? Is that so? Hmm... Hmm? I seem to remember using the urinals outside with you before."

"You must have misremembered," Mo Xueyao said seriously. Although it was true, she did not intend to admit it. When she mentioned it this time, she felt it was a bit strange to have a fake organ, so she skipped it and only said that she used the toilet in a cubicle to hide it.

While that's true most of the time, there have been a few times when it happened outside.

But memories eventually fade with time, and for now, she just wants to muddle through like this.

"Really? Hmm...? I seem to remember that you stopped going out to mate because people laughed at you for not having any hair?"

"You're mistaken, you're talking about that fat guy from the next class, right?"

"Hiss—it seems so...?" Li Gutao was confused, but the facts were undeniable. "Okay, what an amazing experience, haha, how does it feel to be a girl again?"

"Fortunately."

“Uh…” Li Gutao subconsciously wanted to put his hand on Mo Xueyao’s shoulder, but he froze in mid-air.
