The weather had turned slightly cooler, and the students in the class had also added clothes.
Ellie had just sat down at her seat when she saw the Little Prince in her drawer, and William had not yet entered the class.
Ellie stared at the book for a while, wondering how he had gotten it back. She put the book back in her bag.
The uniform coat of Qi Zhong was black and white, not particularly good-looking, but not ugly either.
Ellie glanced up and saw William coming in.
He was wearing the school uniform coat over a black short-sleeved shirt, with his own pants on. The young man, with his long legs and arms, seemed to make the uniform coat look better.
His eyes were a bit blacker than usual, his bone structure superior, and his jawline smooth. He always looked at people with a bit of coldness, exuding a sense of distance.
William pulled out the chair and sat down next to her, saying, "I put the book in your drawer."
"I saw it. How did you get it back?"
"That's none of your business. Anyway, I have a way to get it," William chuckled.
"Did Mr. Anderson give you a hard time?"
William thought about the half-hour scolding he had received in Mr. Anderson's office and shook his head, "No."
Ellie let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
...
"Students, the school has announced a four-day holiday for National Day."
"Why is it only four days for National Day?"
Mr. Johnson smiled and said, "You are already in the eleventh grade."
"Does that mean we only get one day off for National Day in the twelfth grade?"
"Yes, this year's twelfth graders only get one day off."
"..."
Mr. Johnson continued, "But a few days after National Day is the autumn sports meet, which will last for three days. This time, our school is co-hosting the sports meet with No. 19 Middle School, and it will be held at our school."
"That's great, then I can see my friends from No. 19 Middle School."
"Happy as long as there are no classes."
Mr. Johnson asked for quiet and then said, "Let's start the class."
...
"SuSan, you can go back now."
"Okay, Ellie, is there anything you want to eat in the afternoon?"
Ellie thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."
"Okay."
Ellie watched SuSan drive out of sight and then prepared to go into the school.
"Hey, beauty, alone?"
Ellie glanced at the several boys next to her and quickened her pace towards the entrance.
The boy with hair dyed in three colors blocked Ellie's way and said, "You there, I'm talking to you."
Ellie never thought she would encounter thugs near the school. Today, SuSan arrived a bit late, and the spot in front of the school was taken up by parents, so the car was parked a bit further away.
She bit her lower lip and said, "I don't know you."
"It doesn't matter if we don't know each other, just want to make friends with you," Skull said.
Ellie didn't say anything.
"From No. 6 Middle School? Little sister."
"..."
Seeing she didn't speak, Skull looked down at her school badge and said, "Oh, you're really from No. 6 Middle School, a good student. No wonder you look down on us."
For some reason, the "good student" in his words seemed completely different from the "good student" in William's words.
Ellie mustered up her courage and said, "I don't look down on you, I have to go to class, please let me go back."
"Hahaha, the little sister says she wants to go back. Should we let her go back?" Skull said, looking at the two boys next to him.
The boy next to him, with hair like instant noodles, looked up and down at Ellie and said, "That's not okay, bro. It's the first time I've seen such a pretty girl at No. 6 Middle School."
"What do you want to do? I can give you money, I really have to go back to class," Ellie's hands in her sleeves were clenched tight.
"Money? Little sister, you're looking down on us too much, don't you think? We don't want money. I don't have any bad intentions, I just want to date you, little sister."
As soon as Skull finished speaking, he was knocked down by a punch.
"Talk about your mother," William's eyes were cold, as if his eyes were frosted, and his whole body exuded a chilling coldness. He said, pulling Ellie behind him.
Daniel had just told William that wasn't Ellie over there, and in the next second, he saw the person next to him was gone.
The instant noodle head next to Skull just wanted to scold, but was stopped by Skull.
Skull struggled to get up from the ground, his right side swollen high, the punch he had just received was not light, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "William, is this the girl you're interested in? My apologies."
"Interested in your mother, that's my deskmate, stop thinking about her, you people from the vocational school, your hands are a bit too long."
Skull heard that William's last sentence was a warning, nodded and said, "William's teaching is right, we were wrong this time." He looked at Ellie behind William and said, "We were wrong this time, little sister, I apologize to you, forgive us."
"Watch your fucking mouth."
Skull immediately corrected himself: "I'm sorry, classmate."
The instant noodle head next to Skull didn't understand why he was so afraid of a boy from No. 6 Middle School, and as he was about to speak, he was glared back by Skull.
Daniel and Hao Ming also ran over, he looked at Skull, and then at Ellie who was protected behind William, and immediately understood what was going on, he couldn't help but scold: "Don't you look at yourself, what kind of person our Ellie is, isn't this just a toad wanting to eat swan meat? Don't you pee and look at your own bearish appearance."
Skull's face turned green and red from being scolded, but because it was William in front of him, he dared not speak.
"Get lost."
Upon hearing this, Skull turned his head and ran.
Daniel shouted behind him: "Don't let us see you guys again at the gate of No. 6 Middle School."
After walking away, the instant noodle head couldn't help but ask Skull: "Isn't he just a student from No. 6 Middle School? Why are you afraid of him?"
Skull slapped him on the head and said, "When I was hanging out with Brother Wang from our school before, I saw him beat Brother Wang to the ground, his face covered in blood. He fights as if his life doesn't matter, don't provoke anyone, don't provoke him, he doesn't act like a student at all."
The instant noodle head was scared and shrank his neck, saying, "I'm glad I didn't speak just now."
William looked at her, seeing how scared she was, reached out and gently rubbed her head, and said, "It's okay."
Ellie realized that he seemed to be comforting her and whispered, "Thank you."
Daniel, watching on the side, couldn't help but smile crazily at the corners of his mouth.
Daniel: Wow, I suspect I'm seeing a fake William.
William chuckled lightly, not caring at all, and said, "Let's go."
Ellie followed the three people back to the class like this.
As they passed the entrance, the security guard also took a look at Ellie, probably thinking that the three people next to her seemed a bit out of place with her.
