Zemin turned to see the source of this voice
It was actually Long Jiu's voice!
Zemin face darkened.
"I do not want to bring trouble to myself or to my parents. He will definitely sabotage my family's business if I offend him. I should ignore him. It always seemed to work last time." Zemin thought as worries flooded him.
Zemin was constantly bullied in his school. As Zemin's parents always wanted the best for him, they sent him to one of the most prestigious school in the country through great efforts. Naturally, there would be many people that are of a higher status than him. Who would want to lower themselves to bully someone of a lower status? But as for Zemin, his case was a bit different. He was like any other, his first few days of school passed peacefully.
Until he met Jia Li Zhen. You might think that this is fate. Meeting the girl of your dreams and then proceed to live happily ever after. However it had a little problem. Zemin did not fancy this girl. Although she was considered to be the most beautiful girl in the school, Zemin did not even take a single glance at her to avoid misunderstandings and trouble. As it was troublesome to clear up misunderstandings with those jealous admirers of hers, he would rather avoid it by not interacting with her.
Of course being the popular girl she is and the attention she got, she was able to distinguish Zemin out of the bunch for he never once talk to her. Even when she tried to initiate a conversation with him, he would walk away as if he didn't hear. This shocked her greatly as nobody has ever ignored her. Great determination and motivation came to her. She wanted to conquer. To conquer this boy named Zeng Zemin. Every single day without fail, she would openly try to flirt with Zemin, enraging the people around them. "Who is this guy? "Why is Li Zhen flirting with him?" "Someone check his financial background, he must be from a very wealthy and powerful family for Li Zhen to take an interest on him! Even boss Long Jiu was rejected by her!" There was a murmur among the people around them. This will definitely cause great gossip in the school.
Zeng Zemin was at a loss. How can he clear up the misunderstandings? He decided that the best thing to do is to ignore everyone. Suddenly, Zemin stood up and walked away. "I hope this will minimise the amount of trouble I will go through." Thought Zemin as he sighed and strolled his way to the toilet.
"What?!? He is actually of such a poor background? Why did Li Zhen even flirt with this guy?" roared Long Jiu.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
A student ran towards Long Jiu. "Boss! That rascal is in the toilet."
"Okay! Lets go teach this a**hole a lesson." howled Long Jiu as a few other students followed his lead.
Zeng Zemin was in the process of washing his face, in a deep thought on how he should deal with this.
*BANG*
The toilet door was kicked open as Long Jiu and his lackeys walked in.
"That is him boss. That is the guy who flirted with Li Zhen." said one of the guys beside Long Jiu.
"Hey kid do you know who you were flirting with?!? I would have started beating the shit out of you but I do not want to lower myself to do so. You only have a choice! Kowtow to me in the public and I will let you off!"
As Zemin walked out of the bathroom, he was shocked to see so many people gathering around this toilet, waiting to see how this will unfold.
"I must calm down. I cannot burden my parents. If he wanted to, he could make it difficult for my parents' business to continue. I will only have to kowtow. No big deal right?" thought Zemin angrily as he tried to stay calm.
"You know what you have to do!" commanded Long Jiu. "Hahaha what a great opportunity to remove another competitor. She will see him as a coward and will cease to talk to him!" Long Jiu cunningly planned.
Zemin kneeled and kowtowed. Laughs and taunts were constantly thrown at him. "What a coward!" "Hahahahahaha!" "Li Zhen was actually flirting with a coward!" were among the many taunts.
...
"You dare ignore me?? Good good. I will let this go for now and let you humiliate yourself once again when you are up for the test!" taunted Long Jiu.
As Long Jiu was taunting Zemin, someone went up to the podium.
"I am the instructor in charge of today's test. Please get ready as it will begin in a minute."
