Luo Xixue was a loner, with no friends at school.
If she had to name one, it would be Ye Kui.
In the eyes of some malicious people, a sickly girl in a wheelchair was obviously a soft target, easy to bully.
So now, Luo Xixue was being subjected to Campus Bullying.
In the girls’ restroom, Luo Xixue looked at the Three Female Students blocking the door, grinning foolishly and evilly in front of her, and felt bored.
She had lost count of how many times she’d experienced this, to the point of numbness.
With colorful hair, big earrings, and gold tongue studs, the Three Female Students looked like typical non-mainstream types.
Was it because they could bully her that they felt… smug?
It seemed stupid.
Luo Xixue decided to take advantage of the situation and get a little hurt, so she could find Ye Kui and play the victim.
Classes were boring anyway.
It was better to find Teacher Ye and discuss how spaghetti should be mixed with No.42 cement, since the length of this screw could directly affect the torque of an excavator…
It made no sense, but it always improved her mood.
A faint smile curled at Luo Xixue’s lips.
She drifted into her own little world.
When she came back to herself, she realized the Three Female Students had stopped talking, their mouths probably dry from yelling.
Luo Xixue helpfully asked, “Finished cursing?”
Three Female Students: ……
Their faces darkened, veins twitching on their foreheads at Luo Xixue’s expression.
“Do you even know what we were saying?!”
Luo Xixue blinked: “Ah, yes, yes, yes!”
Three Female Students: “Grass! (A kind of plant!)”
Their blood pressure shot up.
Now they understood—everything went in one ear and out the other.
This cripple didn’t even take them seriously!
Too arrogant!!!
Such blatant provocation!
“You bastard, do you really think we don’t dare to hit you?!”
One of them glared, rolled up her sleeves, and moved to teach Luo Xixue a lesson about ignoring them.
Luo Xixue’s eyes widened too, a hint of secret delight flashing within—seemed she didn’t even need to fake an injury.
Of course, she would still protect her face.
After all, a slap mark wouldn’t look good.
Just as the other’s hand was about to fall—
With a bang, the restroom door was suddenly flung open!
The Three Female Students, who were right behind it, were knocked flat to the ground!
They landed before Luo Xixue, prostrating themselves in a most undignified way.
Luo Xixue looked down, her voice soft, with a subtle smile.
“No need for such a grand salute.”
From outside the door came Ye Kui’s voice.
“Luo Xixue, are you inside?”
At his words, Luo Xixue froze, light returning to her eyes.
After a moment, she thought about it and then flopped to the floor, scraping her palm.
Then, clutching the ground, she slowly crawled out, hair messy, dress a bit dirty.
Her breathing was shaky, and with her pale face, she looked both fragile and resilient—invoking sympathy.
Luo Xixue crawled to the doorway, “instinctively” turned her head, and, upon seeing Ye Kui, showed a “surprised” expression.
Then, she shakily lifted her hand toward him.
“Teacher Ye… it hurts so much.”
Ye Kui hurriedly took her hand.
“Where does it hurt?”
“My whole body hurts.”
“They hit me so hard it hurts.”
At that moment, the Three Female Students, dizzy from being knocked over, looked up and saw Luo Xixue’s performance.
Their eyes widened, and the shock made them faint again.
They hadn’t even touched her!
Ye Kui waved his hand.
A high-tech-looking wheelchair trembled, then automatically rolled out from inside.
It moved swiftly, like a young girl seeing her beloved after waking up.
Full-level alchemy charm—mechanical spirit in delight!
Ye Kui placed Luo Xixue in the wheelchair, preparing to rush her to the school infirmary.
He asked where she hurt; she said everywhere.
It would need a thorough examination.
Suddenly, Ye Kui’s movements paused.
He turned and looked toward a corner.
“Wang Director, stop hiding. I see you.”
A few seconds later, a middle-aged man emerged from the shadows, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and smiled kindly.
“Teacher Ye, good…”
Ye Kui interrupted: “Wang Director, enough with the nonsense. Campus Bullying. Think about it yourself.”
He paused: “If you can’t handle it, I’ll deal with it my way.”
“I really don’t like Campus Bullying.”
Ye Kui pushed the wheelchair, brushing past Wang Director.
The smile on Wang Director’s face gradually faded.
He lowered his head, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, hiding his gloom.
Several seconds later, the Three Female Students sneaked out of the restroom.
Scanning around… their eyes met Wang Director’s.
Their bodies stiffened.
Wang Director adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and turned to leave.
“Follow me.”
The Three Female Students shuddered in fear, terror flickering in their eyes.
……
Inside the office.
A whip lashed out, drawing blood, and a scream echoed—but the specially treated walls absorbed all sound, not letting a single noise escape.
“Useless! You can’t even handle such a small task!”
The whip fell again and again.
Wang Director finally paused, exhaling as he looked down at the Three Female Students lying battered on the floor, curled up and miserable.
“Sorry…sorry…Master…we…”
They begged for mercy, tears flowing, mixing with the blood on their faces into a pale red.
One of them reached out, trying to grab the hem of his pants…
Then her hand was pinned under a polished black shoe, slowly grinding her hand until the skin tore.
The girl screamed in pain.
The other two trembled, terror flooding their eyes as tears streamed down.
“Trash!”
Wang Director’s expression remained unchanged as he spat coldly.
He raised the whip once more.
……
An hour later.
The Three Female Students walked out of the office, faces perfectly composed, smiling as if nothing had happened.
They looked as though they’d been remade into “good students.”
Only, their eyes were dull and empty.
“What did Wang Director do to you? You seem so different now?” a curious student asked.
Their bodies trembled slightly, and deep terror flickered in their eyes.
Inside the office.
Wang Director’s kindly smile returned as he straightened his crooked tie.
With his suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and polished appearance, he looked every bit the gentleman—yet a true scoundrel.
He was the only one in the office.
Those three were his subordinates, meant to push Luo Xixue into despair so he could “happen to pass by” and play the hero.
All to win Luo Xixue’s favor.
Because Luo Xixue was his latest target.
A girl with a strong will despite her disabilities—beautiful in his eyes~
The method was old-fashioned, but effective.
He just hadn’t expected Ye Kui to appear and ruin his plan.
Wang Director took out his phone and opened a certain group chat.
[Silent Alliance (Qingluo City Branch)]
Within the group, his nickname was:
[Department Head]
He looked at the messages, eyes narrowing, a cold light flowing.
That Ye Kui was truly annoying.
Just like that [Salted Fish Alchemist] in the group chat.
