Xia Xue nodded, expressing immense trust in me. Thank you, girl, for giving me courage at that time.

I turned back again, and Zou Yang's expression became even angrier. He must have seen me touching Xia Xue's hair earlier, so it would be strange if he didn't get mad.

I smiled and continued to listen to the lecture, appearing to choose patience as I had in the past.

Only I knew that I was waiting, waiting for the right moment to come.

Zou Yang's behavior became more audacious, continuously throwing chicken bones at my head, about every five minutes.

And I, without any reaction, remained exactly like my middle school self.

Xia Xue watched anxiously beside me, saying more than once, "Do you want me to help you?"

And I replied to her more than once, "I'll handle it myself."

I'll handle it myself. This time, I'll handle it myself.

The chicken bones kept coming, hitting my head accurately every time.

"Ding."

"Ding."

"Ding."

"Ding."

With each piece of chicken bone hitting my head, my anger increased.

But on my face, there was still the same eternal smile.

Maintaining the minimum decorum in front of the girl I liked was necessary.

Soon, the crumbs of chicken bones were scattered all over the floor around me.

The English teacher's lecture was coming to an end; she always timed it perfectly, usually just before the end of class.

"This is the last time," I silently said to myself, "this is the last time I'll be bullied by Zou Yang."

Just then, I was hit on the head again, the last time. This time it wasn't a chicken bone but a crumpled tissue.

Zou Yang finished eating the chicken bones, wiped the oil off his hands with the tissue, then crumpled it and threw it at me.

It didn't hurt at all, but it made my anger reach its peak.

I clenched my fists, feeling the tension rise. Xia Xue looked at me with concern, not knowing what I was going to do.

I don't know where the courage came from, but suddenly I grabbed Xia Xue's hand and said gently, "Thank you."

Xia Xue looked at me in surprise, but she didn't pull her hand back.

"Ding... " The bell rang at this moment.

The English teacher was giving the final remarks before class ended, and I suddenly stood up and shouted.

My shout mixed with the ringing of the bell, and everyone turned back in surprise to look at me.

I quickly rushed to the window sill, picked up a pot of gentlemen orchids, and dashed to Zou Yang.

Zou Yang looked at me in horror, instinctively shrinking his head back.

The pot of gentlemen orchids smashed onto his shoulder, and the soil inside scattered all over the floor.

It's a pity; I originally wanted to smash it on his head!

My mind went blank, and there was no time to think about it. I threw the pot of gentlemen orchids on the ground, and my fists rained down on Zou Yang's face, shoulders, back... The anger I had endured for three years finally erupted at this moment!

The bell had stopped ringing long ago, but no one in the class left. From the teacher to the students, they all stared dumbfounded at me and Zou Yang.

Zou Yang was completely dumbfounded, probably never expecting that I would suddenly hit him and just letting me hit him.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

My fists gripped Zou Yang's neck, and I forcefully threw him to the ground, then kicked his ribs hard with my foot.

"Let you bully me, let you bully me..." I punched while cursing his mother.

Using both hands and feet, every punch and kick landed on Zou Yang without any pattern.

"Wang Hao, stop it!" the English teacher shouted from the podium.

The classmates finally reacted and stood up, a few of them pulling my arms and dragging me aside.

Tears filled my eyes. "I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" I kept shouting, struggling, still wanting to go up and beat Zou Yang.

It's been three years, three years.

I've been waiting for this moment for so long.

Classmates rushed over, some surrounding me, some surrounding Zou Yang. Li Jie and others came over, went to Zou Yang, and said something. I wasn't afraid of them, still waving my fists. "Come on, believe it or not, I'll kill you today!"

The English teacher was still on the podium, constantly saying, "That's enough, that's enough, I'll definitely tell your class teacher!" Probably in her eyes, Zou Yang was the victim, and I was the bully.

The reason I chose to act at this moment was because I believed Li Jie and the others wouldn't all gang up on me in front of the teacher.

And the choice to act at the moment the bell rang was due to a strange psychology. I was still deeply afraid of Zou Yang, so it was like giving myself an order: "Act when the bell rings!" I kept repeating this to myself in my mind: "Act when the bell rings, act when the bell rings!" This sentence was like a program input into my brain, cheering myself on.

The class was in chaos, with some surrounding me and some surrounding Zou Yang. Li Jie and the others comforted Zou Yang while glaring at me with hatred.

The English teacher saw that the situation had stabilized, probably realizing that there wouldn't be another fight, so she opened the classroom door and left.

I sat back in my seat, panting heavily. Zou Yang also sat back in his seat, whispering with Li Jie and others.

Xia Xue beside me pulled my arm. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I shook my head, calming down from the excitement. But another layer of fear surged into my heart: the anger had been released, but Zou Yang would never let it go. Next, he would definitely team up with Li Jie and others to beat me!

I looked at them, and they were still whispering and glancing at me from time to time.

I couldn't stay here anymore; they could rush over and knock me down at any moment, undoing the victory I had just achieved.

I immediately stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Tears still wet on my face, as I walked out of the teaching building, a gust of wind blew, making my face sting.

I carefully recalled every scene just now. It felt satisfying to release the pent-up anger, but the only regret was that I had cried. I wondered why I cried even though I was the one who fought back? I felt useless; I didn't know how many people were laughing at me.

But thinking that I had finally hit Zou Yang, I felt ecstatic; thinking that I had to go back to the dormitory at noon, I felt overshadowed.

Just now at the door, I had boasted that I would hit him again at noon, which was quite imposing, but I really didn't have that strength!

Without thinking, I knew that when I returned to the dormitory at noon, Zou Yang would surely be waiting for me with Li Jie and the others, and then they would close the door...

Thinking of the miserable consequences I was about to face, I couldn't help but shiver.

But since I dared to say that at the door, there must be some plan in my heart, just afraid that the plan wouldn't keep up with the changes!

That's right. Before coming to Chengnan High School, my neighbor Yu Chengfei told me that if something happened here, I could always find him. Although I didn't take it seriously at the time, after coming to Beiyuan City to attend high school, I often went to the Internet cafe during my free time. Internet cafes were a mixed bag, with all kinds of people, including various thugs.

Chengnan High School was near Chengnan Vocational and Technical College on one side and Beiyuan No. 7 Middle School, which had both junior and senior high school, on the other. Of course, the quality of education there couldn't compare to Chengnan High School, and the students' quality was uneven. With three schools together, the surrounding Internet cafes were booming.

When I went to the Internet cafe, I sometimes ran into Yu Chengfei. Yu Chengfei was a student at Chengnan Vocational and Technical College and often saw him and his classmates come to surf the Internet. Their school was famous for producing thugs and hooligans, and I could see that Yu Chengfei and his group were not good guys either.

So, at this moment, I pinned my hopes on Yu Chengfei. But even if Yu Chengfei was doing well at his school, he might not be able to extend his hand to Chengnan High School, which was what worried me the most. If Yu Chengfei couldn't help, today would be a disaster for me.

Chengnan High School had strict rules; students couldn't leave the school gate during class. I hesitated with the gatekeeper for a while, but in the end, I chose to climb over the wall and leave the school. I couldn't believe that I, who considered myself an excellent student, would skip class one day; it was really lamentable.

Walking on the road to the Internet cafe, I thought to myself, "What if Yu Chengfei isn't at the Internet cafe?" At that time, few people had mobile phones, and having a pager was already considered impressive, so there was no way to contact Yu Chengfei directly. Feeling disheartened, I thought, "If Yu Chengfei isn't at the Internet cafe, I won't study anymore. I'll pack up and go home rather than let him bully me."

With these thoughts in mind, I walked into the Internet cafe. It was still early in the morning, and there weren't many people in the Internet cafe yet. I scanned the room but didn't see Yu Chengfei's figure, making me feel as if I had been drenched in cold water. I thought to myself, "Maybe he'll come later." I sat down casually and kept an eye on the entrance of the Internet cafe.

Students from three different schools kept coming in, with fewer students from Chengnan High School in proportion. I stared at their faces one by one and didn't find Yu Chengfei among them, sinking deeper into despair.

After waiting for about half an hour, the Internet cafe was almost full. I stood up, walking anxiously back and forth in the Internet cafe, not knowing what to do.

Inside the Internet cafe, there were clearly three groups, each occupying a section of the computers, as if they had their own territory.
