Chapter 131: You're acting like a bitch

Not long after Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan walked out of the teaching building, Zhang Peng came running to catch up.

"Brother Tian, the Class Monitor asked if we should go find the head teacher, I said not yet, wait for our news."

"Mhm!"

Qin Tian nodded.

"Brother Tian, is it because Xu Ying saw Cui Ying and the others getting close to us recently, felt unhappy, and is making trouble again?"

Zhang Peng asked with a serious expression.

Qin Tian shook his head: "I'm not sure either, let's find them first!"

"It might be because of me!"

Xia Nuannuan turned her head to look at Qin Tian, her pretty face full of anxiety and panic, and said: "I've felt Cui Ying's mood was off these past few days, as if she was worried about something. I asked her but she wouldn't tell me what was wrong, so I didn't press her."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!"

Qin Tian comforted her softly.

"Let's hurry!"

Xia Nuannuan said anxiously.

Qin Tian and Zhang Peng agreed, and the three of them quickened their pace to the school gate.

Fortunately, the preparatory bell for evening self-study hadn't rung yet, and the school gate hadn't been closed.

The three of them went straight out of the school gate, looking around, but couldn't find Cui Ying and the others.

"Zhang Peng, you go that way, Xia Nuannuan and I will go this way, let's split up."

Qin Tian pointed to the right and then to the left.

"Got it!"

Zhang Peng nodded and immediately started heading to the right.

"Wait!"

Qin Tian called him back, took his phone out of his pocket, and handed it over.

"If you find them and the situation is bad, call Nuannuan's phone first."

Having said that, Qin Tian looked at Xia Nuannuan and asked: "You have your phone on you, right?"

"Yes!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded quickly.

She had her phone on her when she went home for dinner in the afternoon, and went straight to the track field after returning to school.

"That's good, go!"

Qin Tian said to Zhang Peng.

"Mhm, I'm off."

Zhang Peng grabbed his phone and ran toward the right side of the school gate.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan went to the left to look for them.

On both sides of the Yucheng No. 4 High School campus were all kinds of small shops.

Milk tea shops, ramen shops, roasted chestnut stands, and so on.

While searching, the two asked the shop owners if they had seen three girls come out just now.

At this time, there were usually more students entering the campus, and very few leaving.

If someone had seen three girls come out together, they might have an impression.

However, the shop owners all said they hadn't noticed.

Xia Nuannuan's expression became increasingly anxious and uneasy, and she started calling out Cui Ying and Qiu Man's names loudly to the surroundings, hoping to hear a response.

The two searched all the way to the corner at the end of the street, still with no results.

Just then, the phone Xia Nuannuan was clutching tightly in her hand vibrated.

"It's Zhang Peng, answer it quickly!"

She hurriedly handed the phone to Qin Tian.

"Don't rush, don't rush."

Qin Tian took the phone, answered it, and turned on the speaker: "Hello, Zhang Peng!"

"Brother Tian, I see them, they're on my side. It looks like that bitch Xu Ying found two boys from another school. Cui Ying and Qiu Man are okay for now, just scared pretty badly."

Zhang Peng described the situation concisely.

"Good, we're coming over, don't hang up yet!"

Qin Tian signaled to Xia Nuannuan, and the two ran toward Zhang Peng's direction together.

Meanwhile, Zhang Peng held the phone to his ear, frowning and glaring at Xu Ying and the others not far away.

Because the distance was still a bit far and it was already dark, he couldn't see their faces clearly or hear what they were saying.

He could only see Cui Ying and Qiu Man like frightened quails, holding hands and trembling with their heads lowered.

Xu Ying seemed to be saying harsh words to them, with two tall boys standing beside her.

The two boys seemed to be about the same age, but their clothes were a bit too flashy.

"What's the matter? You betrayed me, and you won't even apologize? You climbed up a high branch, so you're feeling cocky, right?"

Xu Ying crossed her arms, looking at the two with a playful gaze.

Cui Ying and Qiu Man still lowered their heads without speaking, their joined hands gripping even tighter.

"Yingying, why waste time? With us here, just slap them twice and vent your anger."

One of the boys said impatiently.

Bullying two girls was really boring; if it weren't for the friendship from Xu Ying going to Jiangcheng to play with him for a few days during the May Day holiday, plus her begging with all sorts of nice words, he wouldn't have bothered to come.

The other boy had his hands in his pockets, smiling without a word.

He was just here to watch the show.

"Brother Hang, don't be impatient!"

Xu Ying turned her head to look at the boy, feigning a look of unbearable pity, and said sarcastically: "They are, after all, my 'best friends' in class, how could I bring myself to hit them!"

Having said that, she looked at the two with a playful smile, her tone unhurried:

"Besides, they have quite a few friends now, including the school's famous figures, the Class Monitor, and so on. If they found out and told the head teacher, I'd be in a lot of trouble."

"Xu Ying, what exactly do you want?"

Cui Ying gathered her courage, looked up, and asked directly.

"Smack!"

Xu Ying suddenly slapped her across the face.

The boy with his hands in his pockets whistled in surprise.

Jiang Hang had an indifferent expression; it was just to vent anger, this was more straightforward.

Cui Ying was also stunned by this slap. She raised her hand to cover her burning face, her red eyes looking straight at Xu Ying again.

"Is that enough?"

"Yo, you've really changed a lot!"

Xu Ying smiled coldly, mocking with disdain: "Before, you only knew how to follow behind me, now you dare to be so tough? What, you think Xia Nuannuan and Qin Tian can back you up?"

"Xu Ying, we didn't do anything to wrong you, why are you doing this?"

Qiu Man questioned with a sobbing voice.

These two boys were from a vocational school in Yucheng and were very wild there, and her younger brother who didn't like to study was also at that school.

Because of this, she had to endure the fear and anxiety in her heart and honestly follow Xu Ying out of the school gate.

Cui Ying was just accompanying her.

Of course, Xu Ying's target was originally both of them.

But in Qiu Man's view, it was she who implicated Cui Ying in being hit.

"Didn't you? Are you sure?"

Xu Ying narrowed her eyes and glared at Qiu Man.

Qiu Man's face turned pale, her voice trembling as she said: "W-we are friends with Xia Nuannuan, but we didn't do anything to wrong you, please let us go!"

"Heh, sure, like I said before, you two apologize to me, and even if you don't bother with me in the future, that's fine, but don't hang out with Xia Nuannuan and the others to disgust me, that's enough, very simple, right?"

Xu Ying said with a cold laugh.

Just as she finished speaking, a familiar-sounding angry shout came.

"Xu Ying, who the fuck are you acting for?"
