CFRSIO Chapter 20

Lin Yunliang, though he had altered several plotlines, had not touched the main storyline. In the end, he still entered Class A. Before entering Class A, he had already heard about the Xu family’s young master.

The outside world’s rumors were rampant, all saying that Xu Ming was undisciplined and a troublemaker.

“Butler Grandpa, have you met Xu Ming? Is he really like what’s described here?” This information wasn’t investigated by Lin Yunliang himself, but rather by Lin Xueshu, who had investigated and sent it over.

Although the Lin family was somewhat low-key, they were not a family that anyone could bully, nor could they be friends with just anyone. Lin Xueshu provided this information with the hope that Lin Yunliang would choose his friends wisely. Lin Yunliang, however, clearly didn’t care about these matters.

The butler was somewhat hesitant to comment, “Young Master, you won’t know a person’s character until you interact with them personally.”

“I know,” Lin Yunliang said, though he didn’t seem to care much. He was also pondering the probability of him becoming the other party’s subordinate.

His personality was vastly different from the original body’s. The original body could obediently be a lackey for power. But Lin Yunliang wouldn’t, he had no such aspirations. He was simply curious about this kind of lackey life since he had never experienced it before.

This time was different. Lin Yunliang had gotten into Class A through his own efforts. Although his grades were at the bottom, his parents, who didn’t put pressure on their children, said that their child was truly amazing and even wanted to take him on a trip.

Lin Xueshu, on the other hand, had some opinions. He was dissatisfied with these grades. In his opinion, Lin Yunliang could have performed even better, judging by his usual sharp tongue and quick wit. He wasn’t stupid. Yet, he had achieved such a score.

How could Lin Xueshu, who had always been proud, not feel upset? Moreover, both of Lin Yunliang’s parents had high academic qualifications. For their child, no matter what, he shouldn’t have scored this low.

Seeing the happy family of three, he felt an indescribable discomfort.

Lin Father also saw his father’s expression and said sarcastically, “We don’t have any imperial throne to inherit. Little Yun has already tried his best.”

These words made Lin Xueshu’s face darken. Although the father-son relationship had improved, they would still occasionally jab at each other, especially concerning their wives and children. Lin Father’s sarcastic remarks were particularly frequent and always hit the mark.

Lin Yunliang rubbed his nose by the side, thinking that he had deliberately scored low to avoid being too conspicuous. Even if his father was dissatisfied, he shouldn’t have shown it so obviously. Everyone knew that Lin Zhou was a henpecked husband.

Lin Mother hadn’t said anything, but he had already put on a bad face. It was no wonder he was often teased by Lin Father.

The butler was used to this. He smoothly picked up Siam, who was playing with toys on the ground, and placed him in Lin Xueshu’s arms. This was clearly an attempt to appease him, and the act of pampering him like a child was quite obvious.

Lin Xueshu glanced unhappily at the butler, “Do I look like a child?”

His hands moved quickly, and Siam’s expression quickly shifted from confusion to comfortable squinting.

“Meow meow meow.” It let out a few encouraging meows.

You’re not a child, just a bit tsundere. Lin Yunliang muttered to himself, refusing the Lin couple’s invitation to go out.

Going out with his own parents, how could it be considered going out for fun! It was clearly going to be work. Given how often this happened, Lin Yunliang’s expression of speechless discomfort was too obvious.

Perhaps his son’s complaints were too apparent. Lin Mother once again reached out her sinful hand.

Lin Yunliang also cooperatively bent down. Lin Yunliang was now eighteen years old, tall with long legs, well-featured, and a handsome, imposing young man. Yet, he was still pinched on the cheek by his mother and had to cooperate.

Otherwise, his father would deduct his pocket money, although he wasn’t short of pocket money.

“Oh, Little Yun, you’re a vibrant sixteen-year-old. Don’t always have such a cold face. Come,” she said, placing her hands at the corners of his mouth and pulling them into a smile, “Smile.”

Lin Yunliang’s appearance leaned more towards his mother and grandmother, with a gentle appearance. However, he himself rarely smiled, which often led his mother to lament, “How is this a lively and cheerful sixteen-year-old?”

The forced smile wasn’t unattractive, and coupled with his soft facial features, he looked like a gentle and jade-like young master, which greatly pleased Lin Mother.

“That’s right! That’s right! Why should young people be gloomy? Smile more!”

Lin Father was cowardly in the face of his wife’s actions. Even when his son looked at him for help, Lin Father pretended not to see it and, uncharacteristically, solicitously poured tea for Lin Xueshu.

This showed how high Lin Mother’s status was in the household.

Lin Xueshu was both amused and annoyed, but he didn’t refuse, only saying, “It’s already cold, it won’t taste good. Brew it again.”

Lin Father thought to himself, “My wife is handling the child, so I can’t intervene. Now this old man is getting on my nerves!” After coldly pouring the tea, he said, “Drink it if you want, or don’t.”

Well, Old Master Lin Xueshu’s status was not high at all. In Lin Father’s eyes, it was even lower.

The butler pretended not to see Lin Xueshu’s huffing and puffing expression. It was better to save him some face and not interfere.

Soon, Lin Yunliang began his high school life.

In the first year of high school, regardless of family background, students were first divided into classes based on their academic performance, and then adjustments would be made. Lin Yunliang’s grades were average, so he was naturally assigned to the worst class.

Class 12 in the first year. A Middle School had only twelve classes, from the best to the worst, from one to twelve. Each class had forty students. Not many, but those who entered were either from good family backgrounds or had good academic performance.

Lin Yunliang was one with an average family background and average academic performance.

He was assigned to Class 12, which didn’t surprise him. The original body had also gone to Class 12 initially, where he met Xu Ming, who also had very poor grades, and gradually became Xu Ming’s lackey. Under his “hard work,” he was noticed by Xu Ming.

Later, because of Xu Ming, he was transferred to Class 4.

Of course, Xu Ming didn’t truly remember this lackey. He only knew that among his group of subordinates, there was one who was very obedient and could take the blame. Xu Ming’s actions during school, all the scapegoating, whether it was skipping classes or fighting, would ultimately fall on Lin Yunliang.

Lin Yunliang had no idea he was being used as a scapegoat; he only felt that his boss valued him and gave him opportunities to develop, making him even more proud.

In this regard, Lin Yunliang remained silent. He had known the Lin couple for sixteen years. Although these two were eccentric, they were sincere. They seemed smart, so how could they have raised such a foolish child?

However, Lin Yunliang quickly understood. After all, in the original plot, the Lin couple had to support their family and were much busier than they were now. It was understandable that they couldn’t pay much attention to their child.

It was just that this Lin Yunliang was also foolish, not telling his family anything. In the end, he was the one who suffered.

Lin Yunliang walked into the classroom. Apart from a few with black hair, everyone else had hair of various colors.

Lin Yunliang: …What should I do? He seemed to have a bigger headache now.

The few who hadn’t dyed their hair were Xu Ming and his companions.

The Xu family was an old and established family in City A, so they naturally had numerous friends. As children of this generation, Xu Ming also had many friends. They were all gathered here. But Lin Yunliang knew that they would soon fall apart.

Because of Du Lin.

Lin Yunliang later asked Siam to organize the original plot into text. He read it several times and basically memorized the entire plot. Xu Ming sat in the middle, with his friends surrounding him.

All of them, without exception, fell in love with Du Lin, the resilient “white lotus” character. For this, they didn’t hesitate to fight amongst themselves.

Their brotherhood vanished at this moment. It was bad enough that they caused trouble themselves, but they also instigated their families to target the Xu family.

However, the Xu family had deep pockets, and in the end, these brats were brought before Xu Ming, almost begging for forgiveness.

Xu Ming was also arrogant. After the few revealed their feelings and planned to unite against him, Xu Ming completely broke ties with them.

Eventually, all of them went abroad or studied abroad, scattering in different directions.

Surprisingly, later, with Du Lin’s mediation, they reconciled, and the Xu family’s influence reached a new peak.

There are no eternal enemies in the world. Lin Yunliang understood this principle, but what puzzled him was Du Lin. He was simply too much of a heartthrob.

Lin Yunliang thought to himself that it was fortunate he wouldn’t have any contact with Du Lin.

In the classroom, besides Xu Ming and his four friends who sat there unmoving, playing with their phones and occasionally gathering to chat and laugh, most of the other students flocked towards them.

They were clearly trying to curry favor. This situation was truly outrageous.

Although Lin Yunliang had a slight curiosity about being a lackey, after seeing this scene, he was no longer so inclined.

After all, they all gave him the impression of not being very bright.

“What are you doing out of your seats! Sit down!” The teacher’s appearance broke the outrageous scene.

“My surname is Wang, and I am your homeroom teacher for this semester.”

Lin Yunliang, embarking on his high school journey, was working hard to adapt, as he had graduated a long time ago. He would always feel a bit unaccustomed.

Soon, factions began to form in the class. Xu Ming and his brothers were naturally in one group, and there was another group of people who looked down on young masters like Xu Ming.

They even planned to make a move in private.

They were all young people, and a few words could easily incite them.

Lin Yunliang found them childish, but there was nothing he could do; he was in school now. There were some things he had to get involved in.

He was also the only one in the class who wasn’t hanging out with anyone. He was the most diligent student in class, although his grades were only average.

However, his attitude pleased the teachers of Class 12. Therefore, no matter how much of a troublemaker the students in Class 12 were, the teachers showed great patience towards the one who seemed eager to learn.

A teacher even privately approached Lin Yunliang and said, “Just study hard. Next semester, I’ll talk to the school administration about transferring you out of this class.”

“We definitely won’t let you stay in Class 12.”

Eager learners always evoked kindness from teachers.

“Thank you,” Lin Yunliang said gratefully.

Soon, the first conflict in the class erupted. The reason for the conflict was simple: a few boys, while talking and roughhousing, accidentally bumped into one of Xu Ming’s friends.

No one was injured, and nothing significant happened.

The problem was also simple: one was disdainful and didn’t even apologize, while the other was persistent. There was nothing wrong, but he insisted on finding trouble.

Didn’t this lead to conflict?

Both sides even arranged to fight in a nearby alley.

Lin Yunliang decisively did one thing: he notified the teacher.

Some teachers at A Middle School also had backgrounds and connections. Otherwise, how could they manage the troublemakers in the school? After Lin Yunliang reported the situation,

A teacher immediately went to investigate.

Most of the troublemaking students were caught. Only one person was not caught.

That was Xu Ming.

This was also intentional on Lin Yunliang’s part.

“Hey, bookworm, have you seen Brother Ming?” Xu Ming’s friend walked in, not seeing Xu Ming.

He then approached the most unsociable person in the class.

Most of the people in their class were troublemakers. They even disregarded time and occasion. Whenever they wanted to, they would directly leave the classroom and go to the school supermarket.

It was difficult for everyone in the class to be present together, but there was only one person who barely associated with anyone. He only buried his head in that book all day.

Completely unsociable. That’s why they approached him. Since he was always in the classroom, he must know Xu Ming’s whereabouts.

“He went to the alley first.”

“Damn it! This disloyal guy!” Saying that, he grabbed his other brothers and ran out quickly.

But in reality, Xu Ming had not gone to the alley. He was waiting for his brothers.

Then he received a call, which was why he wasn’t in the classroom.

And this call was made by Lin Yunliang through Siam. He intentionally wanted to lure the person out. He could keep the person here.

Xu Ming became one of the only two people who did not “participate” in the troublemaking incident in Class 12. The other was, of course, Lin Yunliang.

Everyone knew him as a bookworm.

Seeing his brothers standing shamefacedly on the podium reading a nonsensical self-criticism,

Xu Ming laughed unabashedly and even raised his phone to record it.

Nowadays, people’s black history was 24K high definition.

However, his gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Yunliang not far away. This guy seemed quite capable. Xu Ming had an idea and planned to bring him in.

“Xu Ming! You disloyal guy! Delete it for me!”

Xu Ming retracted his phone with a bright smile. “Impossible.”

Then, he unceremoniously kicked him. “Hey, I have your black history in my hand!”

They had been friends for years, and they actually had a lot of each other’s black history, so they wouldn’t really get angry about this.

However, he had some objections to Xu Ming’s next proposal.

“What? Bring the bookworm in?”

“No, no!” He immediately refused.

Actually, what his friend didn’t say was that he felt something strange about the last incident. But then he remembered that Lin Yunliang always appeared as a quiet bookworm, and didn’t seem cunning.

Otherwise, with his personality, he would have rushed over to teach the person a lesson long ago.

“Tsk, just do as you’re told! Don’t talk so much!”

“Alright, alright.” His friend said reluctantly.

Lin Yunliang was shocked when he learned the reason for their visit. He accidentally knocked over something in his hand, looking flustered.

“Are you sure? I can’t fight,” Lin Yunliang asked. “Why are you looking for me?”

“Just come when you’re told! Stop talking nonsense!”

After that, a very strange scene appeared at A Middle School. Xu Ming, like a school bully, actually had a bookworm among his lackeys.

At first, many people were curious and approached them. But after seeing Lin Yunliang, they were somewhat disappointed.

This person wasn’t as handsome as they had imagined, and he wore thick glasses, making him look quite foolish.

He only knew how to study, but his subsequent exam results were outside the top two hundred.

Over time, everyone stopped being curious about him.

Xu Ming officially began his journey as a school bully.

The first battle was to subdue the school bully from the neighboring school.

Xu Ming also planned to call Lin Yunliang. But before that, he needed to do something else: understand this kid’s strength.

“You,” Xu Ming slung an arm around Lin Yunliang’s neck and said, “Give him a punch and knock him down!”

Xu Ming was referring to a student they had surrounded.

Lin Yunliang knew this student. He had decent grades at school, within the top hundred. However, his family background was ordinary, and his parents had always taught him that it was better to avoid trouble.

He was a standard pushover.

His face already had bruises, indicating that he had been disciplined before Lin Yunliang arrived.

Lin Yunliang did not do things that unreasonably bullied others. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. His expression still looked foolish.

“Brother Xu, I won’t not hit people. Besides, if my mother finds out, she’ll beat me to death!”

Xu Ming frowned, clearly displeased with Lin Yunliang’s answer. He pushed the person forward forcefully.

“Just hit him when I tell you to! Stop talking so much nonsense!”

Lin Yunliang could only act, but he physically demonstrated what “not knowing how to fight” meant.

He even delivered a silent slap that landed slowly on the pushover’s face. Not only others, but even the pushover himself was stunned.

Xu Ming was so angry that he laughed at the situation.

“Is this what you call hitting people?” Xu Ming’s lackey also spoke. Both ashamed and annoyed, and also somewhat amused, he said, “Are you toying with us!”

“No, no! I really don’t know how to hit people!”

Xu Ming was also furious, and felt that he was being made a fool of. He had asked people to join because he saw potential in them, but this was the result! He unceremoniously kicked him, knocking him down, then walked over, grabbed Lin Yunliang’s head, and said.

“This is called hitting.”

“What was all that you just did!”

“Brother Xu, if you ask me, we should kick him out!” The lackey immediately said.

“Exactly, Brother Xu!” The talkative lackey was not the only one.

It was evident that several people were unhappy with Lin Yunliang.

Lin Yunliang was having fun. He rarely appeared in such a disheveled state, so he naturally didn’t want to leave just like that.

Moreover, he had other plans in mind.

It was related to Zhang Qing’an.

Although his appearance had changed many things, he hadn’t seen Zhang Qing’an in a long time. What if the plotline reversed? What if Zhang Qing’an still fell for Xu Ming and was hurt because of it?

These were things Lin Yunliang didn’t want to see. Even when he realized that Zhang Qing’an might fall for Xu Ming again, Lin Yunliang couldn’t help but feel a surge of aggression.

Therefore, he had to stay here.

“Brother Xu, Brother Xu! I, I… I can learn!”

“Please! Don’t kick me out!”

Lin Yunliang’s plea made Xu Ming feel very proud. Therefore, the matter was easily dismissed.

However, Xu Ming still had to teach him a lesson.

Seeing the curled-up figure on the ground, Xu Ming finally smiled with satisfaction. “Now you understand, right?”

“This is called hitting people.”

Lin Yunliang nodded. His hidden face had a strange expression.

It wasn’t anger or annoyance, nor was it shame or aversion.

It was evident that the person might have been harboring other intentions.

Only then did people gradually leave, leaving Lin Yunliang alone.

After a long while, he stood up. He glanced at his arms and legs and found that there were marks on them.

He felt a bit displeased. Tsk, there were marks left. If Ms. Kong were home, she would definitely find out.

Lin Yunliang had never told the Lin couple about his affairs at school. If they found out, his plan would be difficult to execute.

[Pfft.] Siam couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Lin Yunliang didn’t care. After recovering for a while, he stood up.

“I need you to prepare what I asked for.”

[Don’t worry, don’t worry!!] Siam was a little excited.

This was his first time participating in such an event. As a guide, their main task was to ensure the contractor’s safety and maintain the stability of the small world.

Therefore, after so many missions, he had not really participated much in the contractor’s tasks.

This was the first time, so how could the cat not be happy?

[However, are you sure your plan can proceed smoothly?]

“Let’s see,” Lin Yunliang said casually.

He planned to go to the restroom first to check his injuries, so he didn’t seem very concerned.

Lin Yunliang knew that Du Lin was also at this school. However, the person was not conspicuous yet. So, he decided to stir up some trouble.

After all, Du Lin was probably not a simple character. He didn’t believe that an eleven or twelve-year-old child wouldn’t understand the situation. Besides, wouldn’t Du Lin’s mother have informed Du Lin about the situation? He didn’t believe it.

Siam didn’t think that much, or rather, the cat’s life was too comfortable, which clearly lowered his guard.

The subsequent events proved to Lin Yunliang that his concerns were not unfounded.

Because Lin Yunliang couldn’t fight and couldn’t adapt, only burying himself in books, he was basically abandoned by Xu Ming’s group. However, just because the central figure didn’t want him didn’t mean others’ attitudes were the same.

Lin Yunliang used his pocket money to bribe Xu Ming’s underlings, thus becoming an unofficial (external) member of Xu Ming’s group.

Siam found this to be a complete waste of money. Those things could feed a cat for so many snacks! Moreover, the cat didn’t believe Lin Yunliang’s excuse.

He said he couldn’t fight, which was impossible. Such lies might fool Xu Ming and the others, but they couldn’t fool the intelligent and witty cat.

Becoming an external member wasn’t entirely without benefits, at least few people dared to provoke Lin Yunliang. However, there were exceptions.

Let alone Lin Yunliang, even the others in the classroom were shocked by the person who came to find Lin Yunliang.

It was Du Lin.

After several years, Du Lin had grown up a lot, his features becoming more delicate, with a temperament like a water lotus. No wonder he could charm everyone. His pair of round eyes exuded an innocent look. As soon as he appeared at the doorway, the classroom naturally quieted down.

The noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. Lin Yunliang, who was reading at his seat, subconsciously looked up.

He didn’t expect to meet Du Lin’s gaze.

At the moment their eyes met, Lin Yunliang keenly saw greed in Du Lin’s eyes. Then he saw the person’s eyes curve, tilt his head slightly, as if greeting him.

Lin Yunliang could already feel the gasps of breath from the people around him, followed by expressions of schadenfreude or pity for him.

Lin Yunliang was somewhat surprised. Why would Du Lin come looking for him? He was sure that he hadn’t had any contact with Du Lin since that day.

Therefore, he was confused about Du Lin’s reason for coming.

Since their eyes had met, there was no need for anyone else to relay messages. Lin Yunliang had no choice but to steel himself and walk out under everyone’s gaze.

Lin Yunliang believed that the news of Du Lin looking for him had already spread. Before school ended, someone would come to settle accounts with him.

Tsk, what a bother. Impatience flashed in Lin Yunliang’s eyes. On the surface, he still looked foolish and honest. It showed that the human heart beneath the facade was the most unfathomable.

“Classmate Lin,” Du Lin smiled, revealing two adorable dimples. Du Lin’s appearance was not at all aggressive, and with his soft speech, people were more willing to interact with him.

Of course, Lin Yunliang was never among those “people.”

“It’s been a long time. I felt like it was you before, but I was too timid to approach you.”

“I actually…” His cheeks, ears, and neck all turned red.

This immediately made Lin Yunliang’s heart pound. Lin Yunliang wasn’t interested in dating, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t been confessed to or received love letters! At this moment, the other person’s attitude was clearly ambiguous!

This wouldn’t do! Lin Yunliang’s mind raced with several ideas.

“I’ve always wanted to thank you.”

Lin Yunliang raised an eyebrow, “Why?”

“You asked classmate Xu Ming to help last time, right? Thank you so much!”

Last time… Lin Yunliang was speechless. Although he had some plans for the fight last time, he never expected it to turn out this way!

Du Lin’s mother rented a small shop near the neighboring school. Many students went there, and many knew that the owner of the shop was Du Lin’s mother.

Moreover, Xu Ming wanted to find trouble with the school bully from the neighboring school, so Lin Yunliang asked someone to leak this information. As expected, those brats went to find Du Lin’s mother’s trouble.

Then, they would ask Xu Ming to rescue the damsel in distress. Although Xu Ming was partially responsible for this matter, with this connection, and at a time when Xu Ming only had some thoughts but hadn’t truly pursued anyone yet, Lin Yunliang believed that as long as Xu Ming had a brain and didn’t expose this matter too early, there would inevitably be other developments between the two.

However, he didn’t expect that before these developments could even begin, Du Lin would be the first to approach him, and to thank him at that.

Lin Yunliang’s expression showed obvious speechlessness. Du Lin’s skill had also improved significantly. He wasn’t scared away by Lin Yunliang’s cold shoulder and continued to speak on his own.

“I’ve never forgotten you.”

“This recent matter must have been your doing!”

“Thank you so much!”

“Classmate Lin, can we…”

The outstretched hand was directly dodged by Lin Yunliang. Not only did he dodge it, but he also put his hands in his pockets, clearly showing his reluctance to make contact.

He could guess the specific reason, which was their meeting in the Lin family’s garden that day. But wasn’t his attitude clear enough? How could this person be so shameless as to approach him?

Lin Yunliang hadn’t expected this person to still remember him. In fact, Lin Yunliang hadn’t recognized Du Lin at first. As girls grow, so do boys. The transition from fourteen to sixteen was a watershed moment. If Siam hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have recognized this person as Du Lin.

After Du Lin entered A Middle School, there were constant rumors and controversies. Du Lin, with his excellent grades, innocent and pure appearance, and ordinary family background, attracted a group of second-generation rich kids.

It could be said that Du Lin and Xu Ming were both very famous at A Middle School.

Seeing Lin Yunliang’s decisive attitude, Du Lin, who had been blushing, now had tears welling up in his eyes, looking as if he was about to cry.

Strangely, looking at the person in front of him, Lin Yunliang was reminded of someone else. Due to poor health, he often had to go to the hospital, receiving many injections and medications. Although he was delicate and afraid of pain, he always endured it.

Lin Yunliang became increasingly distressed. Why did he think of Zhang Qing’an when looking at Du Lin? Siam, are you hiding something from me again!

“Classmate Lin, I just want to be friends with you, is that not allowed?” Du Lin continued. He seemed to want to say something more, biting his lower lip.

After a long while, he spoke again, “Is it because of Brother Qing’an?”

A sudden sense of annoyance welled up in his heart. He didn’t want to hear Zhang Qing’an’s name from the person in front of him. He retorted, “It has nothing to do with you.”

Du Lin seemed frightened and continued with a wronged expression, “I saw you and Brother Qing’an playing together when I was little, and I was very envious.”

“I also wanted to be friends with you, which is why I went to the garden back then. I didn’t mean to. I just wanted to be friends with you.”

“But I was too timid back then, which is why I angered you.”

“I apologize to you here!”

“I’m sorry!” Saying that, he bowed to him, “Please forgive me, okay?”

Lin Yunliang listened to Du Lin’s words with only half an ear, but he didn’t believe them at all. If he wanted to be friends with him, why didn’t he look for him later? Although Lin Father’s relationship with Lin Xueshu had eased, Lin Yunliang’s family had not moved back to the Lin family villa.

They still lived in their original place. Was Du Lin timid, which was why he didn’t look for him again? Or was it because he was unsure if Lin Xueshu had reconciled, and if his schemes could be fulfilled, which was why he didn’t look for him?

Lin Yunliang didn’t know, only Du Lin knew.

“It’s not necessary,” Lin Yunliang said.

“Xu Ming is pursuing you now. You came to find me, do you want me to be beaten to death by Xu Ming’s lackeys?” He asked sharply. It seemed he didn’t intend to leave the person any face.

Moreover, there was no need to.

“No!” Du Lin immediately replied, “I really want to thank you! I don’t have any other intentions!” He quickly waved his hands, looking innocent, which truly evoked pity.

Lin Yunliang was still not among those “people.” This guy was the most heartless.

“Besides, Brother Qing’an is at this school now.”

“It seems he knows classmate Xu Ming.”

“They…” Du Lin was frightened by Lin Yunliang’s gaze. The words that had reached his lips suddenly disappeared.

Lin Yunliang’s gaze was terrifyingly sharp, like a ferocious predator devouring its prey, cold and filled with killing intent. Such a gaze was not something a high school student would possess.

Du Lin, who had a lot to say just moments ago, froze stiffly in place.

“Since you’ve finished speaking, I’ll return to the classroom. Class is about to start.”

Seeing that the person had fallen silent, Lin Yunliang, with a heavy sigh in his heart, said indifferently. He was slightly taller and tilted his head, adopting the demeanor of a condescending noble who looked down on everyone.

Returning to his seat, the surrounding people’s gazes continued to fall on Lin Yunliang, but he didn’t have the mind to care about them now.

The surging aggression in his heart made him want to rush to Xu Ming immediately.

However, he did not do so in the end.
