"Ah—— Ah!"
Zuo Zichen let out an exaggerated scream and fell to the ground, writhing in pain with a twisted expression on his face.
The feeling just now was as if he had been hit by an iron rod!
People rushed over. Some shielded Quan Zhisui behind them, while others lunged forward, grabbing nothing but air. No one expected that the one writhing on the ground was Zuo Zichen.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
The group of troublemaking students were even more at a loss.
Especially as Zuo Zichen continued twisting his legs on the ground, looking extremely pained.
"My hand is broken! Call an ambulance, ambulance!" He shouted loudly while beads of sweat the size of beans kept emerging on his forehead. It looked like he was about to pass out any moment.
Soon teachers rushed over and the scene descended into chaos.
Zuo Zichen was carried out of the cafeteria by two teachers to go to the hospital.
Quan Zhisui, who was protected in the center of the crowd, hung her head dejectedly.
Her brother's hand was broken = her meal ticket had run away.
What about lunch?
Just then, a teacher with a fierce look named Ding Xing roared, demanding to know what was going on.
The students who were watching explained what happened, but those troublemaking students insisted that Quan Zhisui was the one who beat up Zuo Zichen.
The two sides even started arguing over this matter.
"Zuo Zichen is over six feet tall. How could this girl possibly have broken his hand? Don't be an unfair accuser!"
"Bullshit! We were the closest and saw everything clearly! She did it!"
"She looks so skinny. Are you blind? You just study poorly all day and only know how to commit campus violence. You wanted to bully the new transfer student because she's unfamiliar with everything, right?"
"Besides, Zuo Zichen provoked Quan Zhisui first. We all saw it. Zuo Zichen cursed and hit her."
"Do you even know Zuo Ge's background? Aren't you afraid he'll retaliate? I'll remember you guys. Just you wait!"
"..."
The two sides quarrelled intensely, sticking to their own claims.
Ding Xing looked at Quan Zhisui, his anger blazing. "You're hiding in the crowd pretending to be innocent. Get out here!"
Everything went silent around them.
"I'm asking you! Did you hit Zuo Zichen?" Ding Xing yelled at Quan Zhisui.
Normally a little girl would cry or at least panic internally when a teacher got angry at her like this.
But Quan Zhisui shook her head very calmly. "No."
Indeed she didn't. She had only raised her hand to block him. Who knew Zuo Zichen's bones were as brittle as cookies?
Ding Xing's eyes flashed with anger. "I'm warning you not to lie. I'll check the surveillance footage and if you did hit him, that's a major demerit!"
Quan Zhisui: "..."
One female student defending her couldn't help but retort indignantly, "Teacher Ding, Zuo Zichen hit first! We all saw it!"
Ding Xing glanced at her and scolded, "We won't know who hit first until checking the footage. What are you all arguing about here?!"
No one dared to talk back anymore. They were all students after all, who would dare confront a teacher directly?
Just then, a voice sounded from the crowd, "No need to check. I filmed it."
Wei Shixu walked over holding up his phone which had the video.
He had started filming from the moment Zuo Zichen said something that made Quan Zhisui's expression change drastically. He didn't expect it to become evidence now.
The footage clearly showed Zuo Zichen throwing a punch at Quan Zhisui and hitting her forearm.
Then Zuo Zichen let out a weird scream as he fell to the ground writhing in pain.
The whole process was so clear that the group of troublemaking students who supported their boss Zuo Ge turned green with embarrassment. Their boss whom they were backing hit a girl and got injured himself while the girl didn't even move her feet.
Nothing could be more humiliating!
The students defending Quan Zhisui became cocky and elated.
"He hit her! Zuo Zichen hit Quan Zhisui. Quan Zhisui is fine but Zuo Zichen's hand is broken hahaha!"
"Zuo Zichen did too many bad things and got his retribution!"
"Serves him right!"
Everyone thought this accident was a coincidence, that Zuo Zichen had sprained his hand or got a muscle cramp. No one considered other possibilities.
Quan Zhisui glanced at Wei Shixu, somewhat surprised that he helped.
Ding Xing waved his hands forcefully. "Nothing more to see, disperse, the situation is clear! Don't crowd around here! Disperse!"
Quan Zhisui frowned at Ding Xing. She thought about saying something but in the end didn't. Right now she was too hungry to waste time on more trouble.
But Wei Shixu suddenly smiled, a smile devoid of warmth, and said, "Teacher, are you sure everything is clear? Zuo Zichen hitting Quan Zhisui will be let go just like this?"
Ding Xing was taken aback, very embarrassed.
Wei Shixu continued smiling and put away his phone. "It's fine. I know Teacher Ding doesn't have much power and can't handle the violence of rich second generation Zuo Zichen. I'll submit this video to the principal."
Ding Xing became even more embarrassed.
The farce ended just like that. The students dispersed to continue eating. Some girls walked over wanting to comfort Quan Zhisui but Wei Shixu grabbed her wrist first and pulled her to the meal pickup line.
Seeing this, the girls' eyes bulged out as if they had seen a ghost.
Quan Zhisui and Wei Shixu were half a step apart. She lowered her head to glance at the hand clutching her wrist. She could easily shake it off if she wanted, but...
"I knew it." Wei Shixu's voice sounded and his hand let go.
Quan Zhisui looked at him. "Knew what?"
Wei Shixu's eyes were deep with meaning. "I knew you only looked skinny."
Her wrist was slender but the feel was surprisingly sturdy. He could clearly feel her powerful tendons and solid bones. With full force, she could kill someone with one punch.
"Oh..." Quan Zhisui thought, of course, she wasn't skinny at all.
"Thank you for just now," she said sincerely.
From now on she wouldn't judge by appearance anymore. This person only looked dangerous. He was actually very nice. If he hadn't helped clear her name today, who knows how Teacher Ding would have favored Zuo Zichen!
Wei Shixu smiled at her, the smile not reaching his eyes. "How do you plan to thank me? Treating me to a meal will do. I haven't eaten yet."
Quan Zhisui was instantly stunned and at a loss.
Treat him to a meal?!
She didn't even have a meal card and had only brought some pocket change when leaving home.
How could she decline?
Declining directly would be too ungrateful!
Wei Shixu just watched Quan Zhisui struggle in place, watching her unable to utter a word for a long time. He found it very amusing.
By now they were almost at the front of the line. It would be their turn next!
Quan Zhisui became extremely anxious and embarrassed. The more anxious she got, the more relaxed he was.
Wei Shixu knew very well she didn't have a meal card. He was deliberately teasing her.
How nasty.
