"Which class are you from, and how dare you come into my class and hit someone!" The class bell had already rung for a while, and just then, a teacher from another class came in.
"Teacher, students from your class lifted my sister's skirt, and I stopped them and they started hitting people!" Xu Qingfan retorted confidently and assertively.
"Then how come you're completely fine, and our class's student is lying on the ground?" The female teacher still had some doubts.
"They started hitting people, and three of them couldn't beat me alone, is that okay?"
"Wanning, is that so?" People are visual creatures, and compared to the despised chubby kid and the unknown Xu Qingfan, the female teacher obviously preferred to believe the cute and lovable Lin Wanning.
[Wanning? The name sounds pretty good.]
Xu Qingfan watched the pitiful Xiao Liuhua closely, and as soon as the little girl saw the teacher, she hugged the teacher's leg and burst into tears.
"Xu Qingfan, how did you end up fighting in the class next door?" Teacher Xiao Yu, who had apparently arrived at Class B's doorway sometime earlier, was also holding Xia Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Teacher Xiao Yu, these boys lifted up a girl's skirt and started hitting people!"
Teacher Xiao Yu, apparently also swayed by appearances, seeing the three sprawled lumps on the ground, immediately leaned towards Xu Qingfan's side.
The chubby boy, unused to such indignity, ignored the pain and stood up, pointing at Xu Qingfan and cursed, "You're lying, it was clearly you who rushed in and started hitting people, I'm going to tell my dad, and have him beat you to death wuuwuu~"
"Alright, you were wrong to lift a girl's skirt, so let's just leave it at that, and everyone go back to your seats!" The female teacher frowned slightly, clearly displeased with the troublemaker in her class.
"Wuuwuu~ you all bully me, I'm going to tell my dad!" Upon hearing it would just be left at that, the chubby boy started punching and kicking at the female teacher and spitting at her.
Xu Qingfan wouldn't indulge him, and backhanded him with another slap.
The right side of his face was already somewhat swollen, and now it was entirely symmetrical.
"Ahhhh I'm going to kill you!!!" The chubby boy charged at Xu Qingfan frenziedly but was kicked away by him.
"Okay, okay, kids shouldn't be fighting, okay?" Teacher Xiao Yu was obviously taking sides, shielding Xu Qingfan behind her.
"Wuuwuu~ you all bully me, I'm going to tell my dad!" Seeing that force would not solve his problem, the chubby boy resorted to his ultimate killing move, throwing a tantrum.
The other two accomplices were still somewhat afraid of the teacher and just stood there in punishment, not daring to go berserk like the chubby boy.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Qingfan in surprise, as if seeing him for the first time, almost wanting to tear off his clothes to check thoroughly what was wrong with him.
When had the previously timid and weak neighbor become so brave?
[Can a rebellious phase really change a person's personality? I have to ask Mom when I get back!]
"Teacher, if he wants to call his parents, let him call. I want to see what kind of parent teaches their son to lift a girl's skirt!" Xu Qingfan wanted to see if the saying 'like father, like son' indeed held true.
Being a kid is great, you can say whatever you want, and when you're not happy, just start a fight!
The female teacher didn't want to bring the parents into this trouble, especially since they were all just kindergarten kids.
"You three, apologize to Wanning, and you are not allowed to lift girls' skirts ever again, got it?"
"Ptui!"
All she got in response was the chubby boy spitting, which landed smack on her face.
When a woman gets angry, it can be truly frightening, and this teacher had clearly lost her cool now.
"Call the parents! We must call the parents!! Such young ages and already not behaving, if I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be named Wang!!!"
The two accomplices, who had initially wanted to apologize to calm the situation, were now forcibly holding their words back.
...
Not long after, the first parent arrived: "Hello, Teacher Wang, I'm Li Neng's parent, what did my son do?"
"Your son lifted a girl's skirt, and it's not the first time." Xu Qingfan, ever eager to stir trouble, commented sarcastically from the side.
The parent raised his hand, but his gaze turned to Teacher Wang, as if to confirm and perhaps to gather energy.
Teacher Wang nodded, affirming Xu Qingfan's words, as for whether it was the first time, she really didn't care, such kids deserve a scolding!
"Slap!"
It was crisp, a loud slap echoed in the office.
Li Neng's face visibly swelled up, and watching this made Xu Qingfan flinch, hoping his mom wouldn't hit him so hard when she found out he had been buying lottery tickets with stolen money.
"Sorry to bother you, Teacher Wang."
"No trouble at all, still, we should focus on educating the child... seeing how reasonable the parent is, Teacher Wang didn't mind flattering a bit.
"And thanks to you, Teacher Wang, if this little rascal really gets into Experimental Primary School, I will definitely come to thank you in person," the parent said very generously, rubbing the back of his head.
"Young student, I apologize on behalf of my son," Dad Li said with a smile to Lin Wanning.
Xiaoxiao seemed to be scared, simply nodding her head without speaking.
"Come over and apologize to everyone!" He instantly switched to a different face when dealing with his own son.
"Wuu wuu wuu... I'm... sorry."
Another student, seeing his companion being hit so hard, clearly learned his lesson. As soon as his parents arrived, he began to slap himself.
"Wuu wuu wuu wuu Mom I was wrong, slap! I will never dare to flip up girls' skirts again, slap!"
What else can you say? It's the holiday season, and they are all kids.
His mom glared at her son a few times, apologized to Teacher Wang and Lin Wanning, and then followed with her departure.
Only the chubby kid's parents still hadn't shown up. After more than ten minutes, a grandmother with 'troublemaker' written all over her face walked into the office.
By coincidence, Lin Wanning's parent also entered at this time.
"Wuu wuu wuu wuu, Grandma, these people bullied me, let my dad come and lock them all up in jail!" Chubby Kid threw himself into his grandma's arms as soon as she arrived.
"Oh my little heart, tell Grandma, who hit you, the cursed lot, to make my baby's face look like this!"
Xu Qingfan felt an inexplicable sense of humor upon hearing 'my baby,' with uncontrollable thoughts ringing in his mind, "Little baby, don't cry, you forget about me~ our love is 'septagon'."
"It's him, Grandma!" Chubby Kid pointed at Xu Qingfan, cursing.
'Troublemaker,' seeing Xu Qingfan still sniggering, instantly lost her temper and, without anyone reacting, rushed over and slapped him.
"Little CS, call your parents over. I want to see how they teach you; you dare to hit people at such a young age."
Xu Qingfan was dazed by the slap, his right cheek swelling up instantly. After being stunned for a few seconds, he became furious.
He charged over and tackled Chubby Kid to the ground, clutching his neck with one hand and swung left and right, delivering more than a dozen slaps swiftly.
The old lady, seeing him daring to hit her 'baby' in front of her, almost couldn't calm her breath, wanted to pull Xu Qingfan up and continue beating him but was held back by two teachers.
"They are just kids."
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
Nobody pulled Xu Qingfan away, and he kept beating the other for over a minute before he stood up from the ground.
"Your grandson flips up girls' skirts, and you still think you're in the right, old hag? I'm telling you, if you touch me once, I'll hit your grandson ten times!
And 'my baby,' he better not end up in the same primary school as me, because if I see him, I'll beat him up every time and tell all the students that he's a pervert who likes flipping up girls' skirts!"
Xu Qingfan's blood boiled, and his eyes became red as he spoke these words with great fierceness.
However, the atmosphere inside the room was incredibly weird, as someone couldn't hold back and let out a laugh, soon followed by the other teachers.
"Cough cough... hehehe..."
"Hahahaha."
But the laughter did not last long as 'Troublemaker' seemed to have been angered by Xu Qingfan, doubling over and clutching her chest, struggling to breathe.
The teachers quickly stopped their laughter and rushed the old lady to the infirmary, thus ending the incident in an anticlimactic manner.
Probably fearing Xu Qingfan would spurt out more shocking words, he wasn't involved in the subsequent negotiations. 'Troublemaker' finally left Sunshine Kindergarten reluctantly.
Before leaving, Lin Wanning's father called Xu Qingfan out to thank him in person.
"Kid, I want to thank you on behalf of my daughter."
"Tha...thank you." Lin Wanning hid behind her father, revealing half of her head, and said weakly.
"Don't mention it, my mom says boys should protect girls." Having overacted a bit just now, Xu Qingfan now tried to compensate, making himself sound like a kindergarten tot.
Xiao Xiao stared blankly at him, an indescribable feeling emerging at the tip of the little girl's heart.
"Uncle still has to thank you. Here, take this money to buy some snacks." Lin Qiaoshan pulled out two red bills from his crocodile leather wallet and handed them to him.
Xu Qingfan was truly touched, with these two hundred yuan, he wouldn't need to steal money from home to buy lottery tickets and wouldn't have to worry about getting beaten, but having already bragged, he, Xu Qingfan, would rather be beaten to death, die outside, or jump off here than take these two hundred yuan!
"Uncle, I don't take protection money."
Xu Qingfan waved his hand nonchalantly, turned around, and walked away.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Little student, feel free to visit our home anytime." Lin Qiaoshan called out to Xu Qingfan's retreating figure.
"Sure!" He waved his hand, taking none of the clouds with him.
