The Yu Chen of this world was merely a teenager, squatting toward him and protecting him with his body. He glared at the crowd of people and threatened them, "I'll tell the principal about this."
"Tsk. Here comes the class monitor."
"You're no fun. You also know why we are beating him. He's better dead than alive."
"He shouldn't have been born in the first place."
"Let's go back. We don't want this monitor to tell on us."
They seemed to be afraid of the class monitor as they scattered away. Only then did Xie Ai's tensed shoulders loosen as he glanced about.
