He coldly sized up Zhong Mingjie: “Tell me, how am I going too far?”
Zhong Mingjie returned his gaze coldly: “Using your family connections to run wild in school and bully classmates – what kind of man are you!”
Xing Tuo’s expression turned cold and terrifying. He stood up and slowly walked to Zhong Mingjie, softly saying, “Say that again.”
Shen Xinghao and Lei Xi exchanged glances and also stood up. Shen Xinghao’s expression became complex, and Lei Xi’s usual playful smile disappeared.
“I said…” Zhong Mingjie was about to continue.
“Don’t say anything!” Qianzi suddenly stood up, interrupting him, looking at Zhong Mingjie with a pleading expression. A terrible premonition swept over her.
She remembered what Xing Yun had told her not long ago: “You’d better not have any conflict with my brother. If someone really provokes him, he won’t let them off easily.”
Qianzi’s face turned pale.
“Let’s go, don’t argue over such a small matter,” she said urgently, pulling Zhong Mingjie towards the door.
“Qianzi?” Zhong Mingjie looked at her, puzzled.
“Let’s go, okay? Please,” Qianzi said in a low voice.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here!” Zhong Mingjie said softly, gently patting her hand.
Qianzi shook her head: “No, let’s go, please come with me!”
Zhong Mingjie sighed: “Okay.” He pulled her hand to leave.
“Wait!” Xing Tuo’s cold voice came from behind, making Qianzi tremble.
Under the gaze of all the Haixin students, she turned back and bowed deeply to Xing Tuo: “I’m sorry…”
In the shocked eyes of Tang Qiqi and Zhong Mingjie, she maintained her posture, her long hair covering her face.
“I’m sorry! Please forgive us.”
The cold air brushed against everyone’s cheeks.
Xing Tuo’s lips were pressed tightly together, his voice as cold as iron: “Too late!”
She raised her head, staring at him in a daze.
Dusk was falling.
Qian Zhi pulled open the bedroom curtains, staring blankly at the street lights turning on one by one. The dim yellow light softly enveloped her face, giving her an unusual beauty, her eyes hollow and lost.
“Too late!” Xing Tuo’s cold voice still echoed in her ears. A faint worry surfaced in her eyes, an uneasy feeling creeping into her heart and spreading through her limbs.
