Chapter 62

As the students got out of class, three or four of them crowded by the window, trying to peek inside. Soon, the corridor became impassable.

The classroom was eerily quiet, without a sound.

"Um, um..."

The class monitor stood up timidly after seeing that no one spoke, and asked, "May I ask who you're looking for?"

Samson Nan seemed to have not heard him, scanning every corner of the classroom.

"Samson Nan, I think... let it go..."

William Wei stood by his side, looking at him anxiously.

"Let it go?"

Samson Nan turned back, looking at him in a strange way, his cold gaze sweeping over, as if freezing people.

On that expressionless face, a chilling look was vaguely revealed.

"..."

William Wei dared not say more. He had known Samson Nan for a long time, but it was the first time he had seen such an expression on him.

"Tell me, who is it?"

Samson Nan asked with a voice only he could hear.

"I don't know."

William Wei gritted his teeth and answered like this.

He had promised Raina Nan to keep it a secret, but he didn't know how someone had leaked the information to Samson Nan.

He was afraid that Samson Nan would do something irrational in the heat of the moment, so he never dared to tell him who was involved.

"..."

Samson Nan didn't say anything, just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

Then, without a word, he walked downstairs.

The students below, seeing him coming over, quickly lowered their heads and continued doing their homework or reading books.

Chen Guangyan sat at the back, tightly gripping his pen and scribbling something on the paper.

Sweat beads started to appear on his forehead.

One row.

Two rows.

Three rows.

The sound of footsteps grew closer.

When he reached the second-to-last row, he suddenly stopped.

Thump thump.

He tapped Chen Guangyan's desk with his finger.

"Is it him?"

Chen Guangyan was startled, looked up, and saw Samson Nan's dilated pupils.

He quickly shifted his gaze away.

William Wei, who was still standing by the podium, widened his eyes and looked at them in astonishment.

Chen Guangyan swallowed and locked eyes with William Wei.

"No, it's not..."

William Wei hesitated for about two seconds before responding.

"..."

Chen Guangyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he looked at Samson Nan again, Samson Nan's palm was already on his head. It happened too fast.

Thud!!

A loud noise, like a blunt object hitting the ground.

Chen Guangyan's vision went black, and he was dragged down from his seat, his head slamming heavily on the ground.

After a brief silence.

"Samson Nan!!!"

William Wei's roar broke the silence.

The whole class was stunned, looking at them in surprise, but no one dared to speak.

A momentary shock.

Chen Guangyan opened his eyes, his consciousness somewhat blurred, his head against the ground. He saw William Wei rushing towards them.

"Samson Nan! Calm down!"

"Get out of the way."

William Wei tried to stand in front of Samson Nan, but he was frozen by those two words.

Samson Nan didn't look at William Wei, his gaze fixed firmly on Chen Guangyan, who was pinned to the ground by him.

"..."

William Wei was speechless, unable to utter a word as his voice choked in his throat.

Samson Nan seemed to have transformed into a different person. Even though there were several people between them, he could still clearly feel the danger signalled by the bloodshot pupils in his eyes.

"A fight... is he going to fight?"

"What... what should we do? Should we go tell the teacher?"

People whispered quietly below, but they realized that both the front and back doors of the classroom were blocked by people summoned by Samson Nan."What should we do..."

"Does anyone know what's going on?"

Whispers started to rise from below.

"That Samson Nan seems to be from the basketball team. Could it be some kind of grudge within the team?"

"But would that warrant such a heavy-handed attack? What kind of vendetta is this?"

...

Samson Nan grabbed Chen Guangyan, who was still groggy, by the collar and dragged him up from the ground. The veins on his arm were faintly visible.

Chen tried to break free but found that the dizziness hadn't fully subsided, and he couldn't muster any strength.

"Where were you at noon today?"

"What the hell does it matter to you..."

Before Chen could finish speaking, Samson's foot had already heavily landed on his stomach.

With a loud bang, he was kicked up and flipped over, knocking over several desks nearby.

"Cough, cough! Ugh!"

Chen held his stomach, coughing up strands of blood mixed with vomit.

Several girls next to him covered their mouths, completely frightened and afraid to speak.

"Samson Nan! You're going to kill someone!!"

"..."

As if he hadn't heard William Wei's words, Samson continued to pace, slowly making his way towards Chen Guangyan, picking up a nearby chair along the way.

"Wait... cough!"

Chen Guangyan twitched his eyelids, opening his eyes.

His vision was slightly blurry, but he could vaguely see Samson Nan approaching with a chair in hand.

"Cough, wait... don't!"

It's over. These were the two words that appeared in his mind, and a sense of fear instantly enveloped him, causing him to instinctively close his eyes.

"Brother!!"

A voice locked Samson Nan in place.

His shoulders finally trembled slightly.

"..."

"Who is it?"

The people around finally noticed a petite girl rushing into the classroom.

"A lower grade student?"

...

"..."

William Wei was stunned, never expecting Raina Nan to appear here.

"Brother... what are you doing?"

Although the situation was clear, she cautiously stepped forward and asked.

"..."

Samson Nan still had a cold expression.

Standing amidst the scattered desks, unmoving.

His bangs covered his eyes, making it hard to see his expression. The air seemed to freeze, unsettling everyone.

After a moment of silence, he finally turned his head and looked at her.

"Yuyu."

He showed a faint smile, calling her name. In his memory, this was the first time.

Before she could react and regain her senses, she was once again surrounded by his voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'll make the bad guy disappear now."

He said, concealing the fleeting smile, and raised the chair in his hand.

Perhaps, it was already too late for everything.

Bang!

A loud noise.

But falling along with the sound was Samson Nan himself.

With all her strength, Raina Nan rushed over and forcefully knocked him down, trembling, using her slender arms to pin him down.

He opened his eyes, so close, and for the first time, he looked at her face like this. Was this how this person's face looked?

Such a disheveled face, so many people watching, she wanted to mock her so badly, but why... couldn't she laugh?

"You idiot!!!!!!"

She shouted with all her might, her voice resounding throughout the classroom.

"Yuyu?"

He lay on the ground, and his empty eyes slowly began to regain some light.

"You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!!"

She shouted with all her might until she used up her last breath.

Large teardrops fell down her cheeks, and one by one, they landed on his face.

He reached out his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but halfway through, he retracted it.

"I'm sorry."

He didn't know why he was apologizing, but saying these three words seemed to bring him a little peace.Bitterness, is that the taste of tears? It was the first time he experienced such a bitter self-blame for not being able to protect his sister.

"But, there won't be a next time."

He reached out and pinched her cheek.

"I promise."

Raina Nan bent down and cradled his head in her arms.

Whispering softly in his ear,

"You fool...brother."

...

"I heard someone got into a fight?!! Who? Where?!"

At that moment, a burly man pushed through the crowd outside the classroom and burst into the room.

"Oh no, it's the headmaster!"

This headmaster was notorious for his violence in the school and was particularly adept at using force to deal with troublemakers. It was said that no matter how arrogant the delinquents were, they wouldn't dare to act too insolently within his jurisdiction.

He surveyed the surroundings and immediately spotted Chen Guangyan lying unconscious on the ground.

"Who did this?!"

No one dared to speak up.

Samson Nan's group of friends had all quietly slipped away, while William Wei stood on the side, whistling innocently.

"It was me."

At that moment, Samson Nan, who was still lying on the ground, raised a hand.

"Samson Nan?! Why is it you again?!"

The headmaster immediately wore an expression of constipation. Why did he say 'again'? It was because Samson Nan's previous fight had already filled up the headmaster's drawer with his self-reflection letters.

"You went a bit too far this time, boy?!"

"Headmaster, Chen Guangyan bullied my sister, so I had to beat him up."

The headmaster glanced at Raina Nan sitting on top of Samson Nan. The tears on the corner of her eyes hadn't dried up yet.

"Well, at least be a little more gentle. Look at how you've beaten him up!"

After pondering for a while, he blurted out.

"Headmaster, I have already held back. Give me another chance, and I'll end him."

William Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You, stop laughing!! You're not a good person either!"

The headmaster glared at William Wei.

"Get a few people to carry Chen Guangyan to the school clinic!"

He then looked at Samson Nan again.

"As for you, come with me to the disciplinary office!"

"Oh."

Samson Nan stood up, but his clothes were tugged.

"..."

When he turned around, he realized that Raina Nan was looking at him. It seemed like she wanted to say something.

"It's okay. I'll be back soon."

He smiled and placed his hand on her head.

Then, with everyone's gaze on him, he walked out of the classroom without looking back.

...

...

Afterwards, it was said that Chen Guangyan received a disciplinary record for the incident. Samson Nan, on the other hand, received a one-month suspension and a record of serious misconduct from the school...

His mom almost fainted from anger, and his dad was also called in by the school for criticism and education.

But Samson Nan, who had written countless self-reflection letters for fights before, refused to write this time no matter what...

As for Raina Nan, she was afraid of being laughed at, so during the month Samson Nan was confined at home, she surprisingly enjoyed herself...

Every day after school, she looked forward to going home and telling him all the interesting things that happened at school.

Afterwards, that mischievous brother seemed to have finally grown a bit like a brother, and their relationship slowly improved...

As for the incident that day, it spread false rumors in school. After going through several versions, it became a saying that anyone who bothered Samson Nan's sister would die... and this directly led to Raina Nan's avoidance of boys for the rest of her middle school life...

...

...

Raina Nan woke up and found herself lying on the desk.

"Raina, what dream were you having? You kept muttering in your sleep," Bell Tong tapped her head with a pen.

"What did I say?!"

She suddenly became nervous.

"I was just asking because I couldn't hear clearly."

"Oh..."

She breathed a sigh of relief."It's nothing..." she said, glancing out of the window.

"Just reminiscing about some past events~"
