Chapter 888 - Don’t Ever Fight Back (2/2)

He stares at Deng Xian then bends down to pick up the ripped pages scattered in front of him.

Deng Xian grew even more agitated by his behavior. He thought that by now, Ji Jingxu would retaliate. However, the more he saw how calm the boy was, the more rage grew inside of him.

”Tsk.”

He clicked his tongue, and out of anger, he threw the book in his hand. This time, hitting Ji Jingxu on the head.

”Pick this us while you're at it too.”

He howls a peal of laughter like he had heard the funniest joke in the world, but his friends didn't.

Each person glanced at one another and didn't know if they should stop Deng Xian or follow along.

Ji Jingxu stops what he is doing for a second before continuing. He finished picking up the torn pages along with the book then straightened his posture.

”If you're done being immature, then leave. I have more important things to do.”

He can only steady himself because he cannot let his grandfather and sister down. If they heard that school isn't pleasant for him, they would be sad.

Not only that, his grandfather is hospitalized. He cannot put more stress on the old man.

Deng Xian's face turned red when he saw that Ji Jingxu was ignoring him again. He strides over to the boy and grabs him by the collar.

”You think you are better than everyone here?!”

He slams Ji Jingxu against the bookcase causing a few books to fall from the shelf.

”Remember. You are nothing but a freeloader. Without that old man's help, you wouldn't even be able to attend this school or look down on us!”

His eyes burned with intense rage, and he glares sinisterly at Ji Jingxu.

”Once that old man dies, you will be nothing. Without him, no one will protect you.”

*bam-!

When Deng Xian's last word fell, he was suddenly punched in the face. He stumbles back but is unable to steady his feet. He hits the bookcase behind him and falls to the ground.

He looked up at the person who had punched him in the face and spat out a mouthful of blood.

”What? Did that hit your soft spot?”

He sneers a laugh, knowing he has gotten under Ji Jingxu's skin.

”If so, that old should just die-”

*bam!

Before he could finish his words, Ji Jingxu threw another punch at him, then another and another. He falls back onto the floor and tries to fight back, but he can only try to block.

He thought he was strong, but Ji Jingxu was stronger, to his surprise.

Ji Jingxu's patience exploded like a dam, and rage engulfed his mind. He held Deng Xian down and never ceased his punches once.

He had been nice enough to ignore the bullying. However, never will he let anyone badmouth those he loves.

He grabs Deng Xian by the collar and slams his head hard on the floor.

”Shut up! Shut up! Take back your words!”

His voice, now full of rage, echoed in the library along with the sound of fists hitting the skin.

Not one of Deng Xian's friends was in their right mind to intervene.

They thought the plan was to beat up Ji Jingxu after school. How did the situation escalate to now?

It was as if Deng Xian had become a punching bag for Ji Jingxu.

”You don't know anything!!!!”

Ji Jingxu was angry.

Angry that the man who showered him with love was going to leave this world and Deng Xian dares to mock death like it was a joke.

”H-H-Help…”

Deng Xian was beaten black and blue by Ji Jingxu but could only squeeze out a word to his friends. His voice brought them back to their senses, and each person jumped forward to get Ji Jingxu off of their friend.

”Get off of him!”

”Stop! You're going to kill him!”

Three young men tried to pull Ji Jingxu away, but the moment their hands touched the boy, he averted his fist towards them before landing back on Deng Xian.

There was no way of stopping him (Ji Jingxu) now.

However, each person continued to try their hardest to stop the fight.

”Get away from him!!!”

Before another person could grab Ji Jingxu again, Zhuang Li's thunderous roar suddenly sounded from behind them.

Each person was taken aback by surprise and turned to look at Ji Jingxu's reinforcement. The moment they turned around, they were met with either Zhuang Li's fist or foot.

Zhuang Li kicked one of Deng Xian's lackey in the stomach since he was in the middle then threw a punch at the one on the right then the left.

The three young men stumble to the ground, and Zhuang Li glares down at them.

”How dare you all gang up on my friend while I was eating!!!”

He grabs the person he had kicked on the stomach and starts punching him in the face.

”Just because we don't ever fight back doesn't mean we are weak!”

He threw fist after fist and roared like a fierce lion in battle.

”Today, I, your grandfather, am going to teach you a lesson!!!”

Seeing that the situation has come to this, one of Deng Xian's friends held his cheek that Zhuang Li punched.. He gets up from the floor and scurries out of the library to seek help.
