There are people who seemingly find joy in tormenting others.
After losing Cheng Zhu, his former object of bullying, Yang Qin started targeting others.
Although Jiang Su, Lin Cen, Xu Shu, and others had previously fought with Yang Qin because of Cheng Zhu, there was no deep-seated hatred between them.
His real rivalry began in the first half of the ninth grade when Yang Qin developed an interest in a girl and began pursuing her relentlessly.
"Pursuit" is too mild a term; in truth, it was harassment.
He would either corner the girl at the school entrance, forcing her to have a meal with him, or publicly present her with gifts in the school, with his gang of friends in tow, shouting lasciviously in the hallway.
When the girl rejected his gifts, he would stubbornly call her by her pet name until, in embarrassment and frustration, she would snatch away whatever he was offering. He would then feign innocence and attribute her refusal and embarrassment to shyness.
