Chapter 6: So Cocky?

Monday, early morning.

Yun Ci slung her schoolbag over one shoulder and walked slowly downstairs.

Ruan Feiyue was sitting at the dining table drinking milk; she turned her head, saw her, and let out a cold snort.

Ye Meipan waved at her: "A-Ci, come over and have breakfast. Once you're done, you and Feiyue can go to school together."

Ruan Feiyue pursed her lips, looking completely unwilling.

Yun Ci squinted her sleepy eyes and said, "No need, I'll go myself."

With that, she strode out the door.

Ye Meipan clicked her tongue in annoyance: "This child... such a strange temper."

Ruan Feiyue deliberately lowered her eyes, her expression desolate: "Maybe... she doesn't like me, and thinks I stole her place."

Ye Meipan touched her cheek with pity: "Don't think nonsense."

Lance High School.

At the school gate.

A thin, frail boy was being surrounded by several thugs wearing school uniforms but looking fierce and menacing.

Qin Yu took a notebook and slammed it hard against the boy's head, cursing: "I told you to do my homework, and you only wrote these few words, you damn idiot?!"

The boy was trembling with fear: "I'm sorry... you... you gave me too much homework. I stayed up all night, and I still... still couldn't finish it..."

"Oh?" Qin Yu smiled wickedly: "You mean, you're blaming us?"

The lackey beside him rubbed his hands together: "Boss, don't waste your breath on him, just teach him a lesson!"

Qin Yu grabbed the boy by his clothes, swung his arm back, and was about to throw a punch.

"Hey."

An indifferent voice suddenly drifted over.

The group turned to look.

They saw Yun Ci standing behind them, watching them with cold eyes, and speaking unhurriedly: "Don't block the way."

The group was stunned for a moment.

What a pretty girl!

Her skin was fair and tender, her legs long and slender...

Qin Yu came back to his senses, frowned, and barked: "Where did this stinking little girl come from? Can't you see I'm busy? Get lost!"

Yun Ci stood still.

Another thug rolled up his sleeves: "Boss, you keep busy, leave this little wench to me!"

As he spoke, he rushed in front of Yun Ci, grabbed her collar, and swung his hand to slap her.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ci instantly caught his wrist and, along with his entire arm, twisted it hard behind his back.

The movement was clean and swift.

*Crack.*

The sound of a bone breaking.

"Ah—"

The thug grimaced in pain.

Yun Ci followed up with a kick to his knee.

The thug fell to his knees with a thud and couldn't get back up for a long time.

The others were terrified.

Yun Ci stepped on the thug's shoulder, her arrogant gaze sweeping across their faces one by one: "Still not moving?"

The group retreated in fear.

Yun Ci picked up her fallen schoolbag and walked away with a slow, leisurely pace.

"What the hell... where did that stinking girl come from!"

"Never seen her before, is she a new student?"

"So cocky?"

——

Yun Ci followed the corridor and found her classroom. The room was filled with a deafening roar of voices, but as she pushed the door open, it instantly fell silent.

A group of green, adolescent boys and girls stared with shocked eyes, all looking in unison at this uninvited guest.

"Who is she?"

"I heard the Ruan family's real daughter was just brought back from the countryside a few days ago and is transferring to our class. Could it be her?"

"Oh my god! What about Feiyue?"

"I also heard she's a delinquent, very slow-witted, and only knows how to fight. How scary!"

"Damn, she's actually quite pretty..."

"Get lost, can she compare to our little princess Feiyue?!"

Qin Yu, who had rushed to the classroom, was stunned on the spot when he saw this scene.

Damn it! So it was this stinking girl!

Amidst the buzz of discussion, Yun Ci stood with her hands in her pockets, leaning lazily against the doorframe, her indifferent gaze sweeping across the classroom.
