“Damn, no wonder she’s the school beauty. She’s gorgeous!”

As Lin Qing quickly lowered his head, Wang Fanran, sitting beside him, heard the name “Su Yao” and hurriedly looked toward the doorway.

The first thing that caught the eye was her pair of entrancing eyes, dark as obsidian.

Her delicate, flawless features came together in a face that was beautiful from every angle.

She also had a striking figure.

Even in the same school uniform as the other girls, she stood out.

The other girls seemed plain by comparison, while Su Yao was the one who truly stood out.

He’d be willing to do anything just to be her friend!

Staring at Su Yao, who was so beautiful she seemed to have no equal, Wang Fanran hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth, hoping no one had seen him make a fool of himself.

Out of the thousands of students at the school, Su Yao had earned the title of school beauty. That alone showed just how beautiful she was.

She could’ve held her own against any celebrity in the entertainment industry.

He’d once heard that talent scouts had already approached her.

But Su Yao had the Comet Group backing her. As the chairman’s only daughter, why would she ever become a celebrity?

Just a performer who had to put herself on display.

Comet Group was Z Country’s most famous conglomerate. From major military-industrial projects to everyday goods, there was hardly a business it didn’t touch.

It was like a treasure basin, drawing money in from both at home and abroad, and growing richer by the day.

Once Su Yao inherited the family business, she’d make a fortune with every breath.

Now that was what you called being born with a silver spoon!

This was the real deal!

Wang Fanran watched with envy and jealousy as Su Yao took a seat not far away. Her well-fitted uniform made even her silhouette look captivating, leaving plenty to the imagination.

Reluctantly, Wang Fanran tore his gaze away. A rich, beautiful girl like her was someone you could only admire from a distance.

She probably didn’t even remember his name—only his nickname, Fatty.

Then he remembered how he’d laughed it off and meekly taken it when his game console was stolen just now. It made him feel even more bitter.

Why him?

Why was he the only one who got hurt?

Everyone else had come away unscathed.

Compared to them, he really did have it rough!

No way!

He needed to let off some steam.

He’d only feel better if he saw someone else having an even worse time.

As someone in the middle of the class hierarchy, only a little better off than the bottom of the barrel, Wang Fanran didn’t have many targets to choose from.

But he did have a few!

For example, his deskmate—Lin Qing.

He’d noticed it just now. The desk kept shaking nonstop, like there was a mild earthquake.

It wasn’t the first time, either...

Still, Lin Qing was something else. He did this kind of thing every single day without fail!

What a weirdo. Wasn’t he worried about wrecking his health?

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Wang Fanran came up with a plan and spoke up loudly.

“Hey, Lin Qing! What are you doing? Acting all creepy about Su Yao in the classroom? That’s seriously messed up!”

Wang Fanran’s words hit the room like a bomb dropped into a lake, sending every fish flying.

The reaction was way bigger than he’d expected!

“Ew! That’s disgusting!”

“Did Lin Qing really do that?”

“No way. He’s still shaking. What a freak.”

“Men are disgusting.”

The students all looked toward Lin Qing’s desk. Anyone with an ounce of shame wouldn’t do something like that in class. No matter how strange and withdrawn Lin Qing was, surely even he wouldn’t go that far!

But the students’ doubtful looks began to waver when they saw that Lin Qing really was shaking nonstop.

Something did seem off...

At the center of the storm, Lin Qing knew he had to explain himself.

He couldn’t let his classmates misunderstand.

But the moment he lifted his head, he met Su Yao’s gaze.

She looked intrigued.

As one of the people involved, Su Yao wasn’t angry. Instead, the corners of her mouth lifted.

Her dark eyes glinted, as if she’d spotted something interesting.

The moment their eyes met, Lin Qing started shaking even harder.

The words he’d meant to say vanished. He couldn’t get a single one out.

All he could do was lower his head again. His body shook faster than before, and the tremors grew more severe.

“You’ve got some nerve acting creepy about Su Yao! Aren’t you afraid Brother Liu’s gonna make you regret it?”

“Wow, man. You’ll pull a stunt like that even in the classroom? I’ve gotta hand it to you!”

But not everyone in the room was gossiping.

Zhou Lin and Wang Jian had been checking out the game console. When they realized someone had been acting creepily toward the girl their big brother liked, how could they just stand by?

If their big brother found out, the two of them wouldn’t get off lightly, either.

As they spoke, the two strode over to Lin Qing and looked down at the skinny kid, their eyes full of disgust.

Sure, Su Yao was gorgeous—but that didn’t mean he could behave like that in class!

What a creep!

Lin Qing had only transferred here a little over a month ago, and he’d already shown his true colors.

Maybe this kind of weird behavior was why he’d transferred in the first place!

“Brother Zhou, this has nothing to do with me! I’m the one who reported him!”

When Wang Fanran saw Zhou Lin and Wang Jian coming over, he hurriedly waved his chubby hands to show that he had nothing to do with it.

Lin Qing was the creep here. He’d only been “kindly” exposing him.

He had to make sure they knew he wasn’t involved.

Otherwise, after Brother Liu returned to school from the week he’d been ordered to spend at home reflecting on a fight, he might take his anger out on Wang Fanran and beat him half to death again!

Where would he even go to complain about that?

Still, Lin Qing was about to get beaten, too...

Heh. This was great!

A quiet, withdrawn guy like him was the perfect punching bag for the class delinquents. He deserved to get beaten half to death every day.

Then those damn delinquents wouldn’t steal his game console!!!

“Get lost, get lost, get lost! Nobody asked you. Shut your mouth!”

Ignoring Wang Fanran, Zhou Lin saw that Lin Qing was still slumped over his desk. Anger flashed across his face, and he grabbed Lin Qing by the collar.

“Hey, we’re talking to you! Can’t you hear us?”

The gloomy look on Lin Qing’s face only made Zhou Lin dislike him more.

Without another word, Zhou Lin grabbed him and threw him to the floor.

He hit the ground with a loud thud. Just hearing it made people wince.

“Huh? Something’s wrong with Lin Qing.”

“But his pants are on just fine!”

“Oh my god, is he having a seizure? He’s still shaking!”

“Get a teacher! Hurry! Someone take Lin Qing to the nurse’s office!”

Sprawled on the floor, Lin Qing felt the world spinning around him. When his vision finally cleared, he happened to see Su Yao coming over with the crowd.

She looked down at him. The interest in her eyes vanished as soon as she realized Lin Qing was just having some kind of episode.

Now she looked utterly bored, as if she’d lost an important toy.

But when Lin Qing saw that, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He had a very unusual ability.

No one else knew about it.

Thinking about it, Lin Qing looked at the top of Su Yao’s head. Ten white skulls were staring down at him in perfect unison, constantly warning him to stay away from this dangerous person.

Since gaining the strange ability to see dangerous people, Lin Qing had never encountered anyone with ten white skulls before.

Even the criminal who had once imprisoned him had only five white skulls.
