When Shen Zhe went to the classroom, Wang Qing was waiting for him. He said anxiously, “Shen Zhe, you’re finally here!”

“Did Ms. Bai ask for me?”

Shen Zhe’s heart palpitated.

It had been only one day. Was it possible that Ms. Bai realized that his answer was wrong and decided to teach him a lesson?

“Ms. Bai?” Wang Qing shook his head in a daze and said, “No, it’s Liu Pengyue. He’s been here for you three times!”

“Why?” Shen Zhe was puzzled.

The Four Gentlemen were good friends, but they weren’t in the same class and only hanged out after school. Why was Liu Pengyue so eagerly looking for him before the class?

“I don’t know. I think it has something to do with Lu Zihan. He said you should go to the playground behind the teaching building!” said Wang Qing in a hurry.

“Alright!”

Nodding his head, Shen Zhe turned around and left.

Although he had never met them until the day before, they left a good impression on him. They were probably Shen Zhe’s former best buddies.

However… Hadn’t Lu Zihan already failed? Was he there to trouble Liu Pengyue’s in order to indirectly get back at Shen Zhe?

“Shen Zhe, the class will start soon. Where are you going?”

Ling Xueru blocked Shen Zhe before he was able to leave.

“I have something to do!”

Shen Zhe frowned.

Had it not been for her, Lu Zihan wouldn’t be bothering him.

“You’re finally working hard in this semester. Can you not give up on yourself?”

Ling Xueru was rather unhappy because he was obviously full of anger and aggressiveness.

As the monitor, it was her responsibility to keep everyone from falling behind.

Besides, she calculated for a few hours more hours the previous night, but she still failed to reach the answer stated on the guidance book. Since Lu Zihan had interrupted her the other day, she was intending to ask Shen Zhe that day before the class.

However, Shen Zhe was leaving the classroom.

“Alright, I won’t give up on myself…”

Waving his hand, Shen Zhe wasted no time talking and walked toward the playground.

“You…”

Ling Xueru stomped angrily hearing Shen Zhe’s casual reply.

The two of them had known each other since childhood. Although she had no feelings for him, she didn’t want him to sink into uselessness.

He was apparently working hard and making progress in that semester. She had secretly given him a hint the day before because she wanted him to remember the lesson and keep trying…

Little did she expect that her answer was wrong!

She had been feeling guilty. If the guy were beaten up for giving a wrong answer, it would’ve been her fault.

“You’ve forgotten who you are after giving one correct answer? I’m going to check what you’re up to!”

The more she thought, the angrier she got. She then followed Shen Zhe.

…

The playground at the rear of the campus was for the students to relax in. There was a small arena at the center, as well as facilities for playing chess or painting.

Few people were around, since classes were about to start.

Soon, Shen Zhe saw that Zhao Chen and Wang Xiaofeng were sitting next to the arena. Both of them had been badly injured.

Liu Pengyue, on the other hand, was anxiously standing on the opposite side of Lu Zihan on the arena.

“What’s happening?”

Shen Zhe narrowed his eyes.

They were fine the day before. It was obvious that someone had beaten them up just then.

Was it Lu Zihan?
