Chapter Eighteen: Su Lin was not wrong

  Hoo... Hoo... Hoo...

  Breathlessly, Qin Yanran had just walked into the school gate when she heard people discussing in whispers that Su Lin was stopped by Xiao Ba Wang Peng Shend at the intersection outside the school, and it was all because of her. So Qin Yanran feared that something might have happened to Su Lin because of herself, and hastily rushed over in a flurry.

  It's okay, Qin Yanran was relieved in her heart and didn't regret rushing over so hastily. Su Lin was still standing there unscathed, but Peng Shenda's fists were already flying towards Su Lin.

  "Peng Shenda, dare you move Su Lin a little and see."

  Even Qin Yanran herself didn't know why she, who was normally calm and collected, would say something like that. Was it because she was too worried about Su Lin? But that wasn't right either. Qin Yanran just felt that she shouldn't drag Su Lin down with her own problems, but why did she feel so anxious about Su Lin inside?

  "Are you kidding me? You...you actually yelled at me for this little brat?"

  Peng Shend reached out to stop his fist, turned around and looked at Qin Yueran who was staring with her eyes wide open and panting, seemingly unable to accept it, getting angry and embarrassed, gritting his teeth at Su Lin, "You little brat, what kind of soul-stirring soup did you feed Yueran? Let her protect you like this."

  "Peng Shend, don't call me Yanran. We have no relationship, please stop pretending to be my boyfriend every day. And don't use this to threaten and bully others, or else I'll tell the head teacher."

  Calm down a bit, Qin Yanran quickly covered up her concern for Su Lin and restored her usual icy beauty expression, coldly warning Peng Shenda.

  Other girls are afraid of Peng Shend's family power, but Qin Yanran is not afraid. Peng Shenda's father is the director of the Education Bureau, and Qin Yanran's mother is even the mayor of Jian'an City.

  "Alright! Yanyan, you can go tell the instructor about it then, let's see if he can control me? Besides, even if the instructor comes, I'm outside of school, what can he do?"

  Peng Shendai still refused to change his words, one after another, but his face turned even darker, and the gaze he cast at Su Lin was filled with even more jealousy. "I, Peng Shendai, have never been stopped by anyone when I want to take care of someone in Jian'an Middle School. Yanran, I know you must have been deceived by this kid's sweet talk. Just wait and see, I'll smash his mouth and see if he can still speak nonsense."

  A mouthful of anger in his chest, with so many classmates watching around him, how could the little overlord Peng Deep have ever lost face like this? Qin Yanran couldn't move or dare to move, and could only find back his face from Su Lin's body.

  Talk is cheap, Peng Shendah may have a few younger brothers following him around all the time, but he himself is almost 1.8 meters tall, big-headed, and somewhat fat, one punch can be quite unbearable.

  "Sulin, be careful!"

  Peng Shend reached out and made a sudden move on Su Lin, Qin Yanran felt her heart lift up with extreme worry, but it was already too late to intervene, even warning Su Lin would be of no use, the distance was just too close, and judging from Su Lin's appearance, he didn't have any guard against Peng Shend. This punch was directly aimed at Su Lin's chin, if he really got hit by this fierce punch, at least a few front teeth would definitely fall out.

  "Dare to fight me?"

  Even the onlookers were worried about Su Lin, but Su Lin himself was extremely calm. If someone looked closely at the corner of Su Lin's mouth, they could see his disdain for Peng Shendao's punch.

  "You want to fight? I, Su Ye, won't even bother with you. Fighting someone like you would only sully my hands."

  Su Lin smiled slightly and glanced at Peng Shend's little brothers beside him, and he had an idea in his mind. He silently chanted "Time Pause".

  It's stopped!

  In the stillness of time and space, only Su Lin can move freely.

  In an instant of stillness, everyone's expression was frozen. Su Lin saw that the surrounding audience had some watching the excitement, some worrying, some being indifferent, and some being extremely excited. Peng Shenda's face was full of arrogance and anger, his several younger brothers all looked like they were cheering him on.

  Looking again at Qin Yanran a few meters away, she furrowed her brow, pursed her small mouth, and tightly clasped her hands together in front of her chest, with worry slowly written all over her face.

  "Don't worry! Yanran, I won't let you worry."

  Although he didn't know what Qin Yanran was worried about, Su Lin was already very satisfied. At least now he could enter Qin Yanran's eyes and was no longer the iceberg beauty who wouldn't even give him a glance.

  Precious time was passing second by second without stopping, Su Lin hastily took a quick step forward, came to the front of Peng Shend's younger brother Ye Qingyun, stretched out his hand, and pulled him up one step with a grasp. Then he made Ye Qingyun clench his fist and punch Peng Shenda's chin heavily.

  "Good, great success has been achieved."

  Immediately, Su Lin returned to his previous position, then slightly tilted his head and whispered "Time Reverse" again.

  Bang!

  The sound of bones and flesh being struck was followed by a blood-curdling scream.

  "Ah...... my chin, which son of a bitch hit me?"

  A vague voice, but the one being hit was not Su Lin as everyone had expected. In everyone's sight, Peng Shend's fist was about to hit Su Lin's chin when Su Lin lightly dodged it by tilting his head. At that moment, Ye Qingyun, who was standing on Peng Shenda's left side, suddenly stepped forward and punched Peng Shenda's chin with a loud thud.

  Bang!

  Peng Shend reached out to cover his chin in pain, and knelt down in front of Su Lin. He turned around angrily and took a look, only to find that it was actually his own younger brother Ye Qingyun. What the hell is going on here?!

  "What the hell is going on? Who are you hanging out with? Are you helping him hit me?"

  His lower jaw hurt, Peng Shendu couldn't help but burst out with profanity, and with one punch he smashed towards Ye Qingyun's calf.

  "Old... old big brother... I... I don't know why either..."

  But even Ye Qingyun himself didn't know why his body suddenly ran over and gave Lao Da a punch. To think that, even if he had the courage of ten men, he wouldn't dare scold Peng Shendu, let alone give him such a ruthless punch.

  Suddenly, the surrounding audience was delighted. Originally, Peng Shendu was going to hit Su Lin. But in an instant, it turned out that Peng Shendu himself was beaten, and more dramatically, he wasn't beaten by Su Lin, but by his own subordinate Ye Qingyun.

  Peng Shendda was arrogant in school, everyone dared to be angry but not dare to speak out, but this time it was refreshing. Peng Shendda had grievances that he couldn't express, and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

  "Thanks, Ye Ge! You're indeed a good brother in our class."

  At this moment, Su Lin smiled at Ye Qingyun with a "may the world be in chaos" kind of smile and thanked him. This way, it seemed as if Ye Qingyun was really helping him.

  "Ye Qingyun, you two-faced dog, are you really helping Su Lin deal with me? Don't you want to live anymore?"

  At this time, Peng Shenda was so angry that he didn't care about anything else. He stood up and called the other two brothers to attack Ye Qingyun together. Ye Qingyun covered his head and squatted down, but no matter what, Peng Shenda wouldn't believe him.

  "Sulin, you... is there something?"

  Taking advantage of this gap, Qin Yanran ran to Su Lin's front, although she tried her best to cover it up, but the concern on her face was still revealed.

  "Don't worry, I'm fine. I won't let you down, Class President. There's still an exam today and I'll do my best. Remember our bet, okay?"

  With great skill comes great courage. With the ability to pause time by her side, Su Lin now faces Qin Yanran with a "what can be said will be said" attitude, not feeling inferior at all.

  "Alright, we'll wait."

  Qin Yanran's words were still few, but Su Lin could clearly feel that Qin Yanran's tone towards her was changing little by little.

  "Not good, Young Peng, Dean of Studies Li Jianhua has arrived."

  "What's there to be afraid of? Li Jianhua still has to look at my face, otherwise he can't continue being the head teacher, right?"

  Peng Shend reached up and covered his mouth, feeling like his teeth had been loosened, and even speaking was a bit of a strain. His gaze at Su Lin became even more venomous.

  "What are you doing! What are you doing! Why are you all gathered here? Class is about to start, what are you still doing here? Fighting and quarreling? Don't think that just because we're outside the school gate I won't be able to deal with you!"

  The slightly hoarse voice of the old man was Li Jianhua, the director of studies at Jianan No. 1 Middle School, who was secretly called "Li Old Dog" by his classmates. He always showed off his power as the director of studies, acting arrogant and interfering with everything, but when he really encountered students with power and influence, he immediately became like a dog, bowing his head and listening obediently.

  "Director Li, you've come just in time. This stinky little brat... named Su... Lin or something, he just hit me, hurry up and discipline him..."

  When he saw Li Jianxing arrive, Peng Shenda's eyes rolled over and a playful smile appeared on his face as he immediately began to frame Su Lin.

  "Oh? It's Peng Shao, in this school, someone actually dares to hit Peng Shao? That really needs to come with me to the office for a good punishment. Intentionally hurting a classmate, Su Lin, you're very bold, which class are you from, who is your homeroom teacher?"

  Li Jianxing saw Peng Shenda covering his mouth, as if he had been beaten, and immediately felt happy in his heart. Peng Shenda's father was the director of the Education Bureau, directly in charge of the education system. If he helped Peng Shenda vent his anger, it would not be difficult for him to promote himself to a higher level and position with just one word from Peng Shenda.

  Right! No matter what, we must get on well with Peng Shenda.

  Li Jianxing's face turned stern as he walked up to Su Lin and said in a calm, authoritative tone: "Su Lin, you dare to fight and brawl. Come with me to the administration office to write a self-criticism. Tomorrow, have your parents come to the administration office again."

  "I didn't hit him."

  Su Lin secretly despised the teaching director Li Jianxing, while Qin Yanran also spoke up for Su Lin on the side: "Su Lin is not wrong!"

  Li Jianxing was stunned, and the one who spoke for Su Lin was unexpectedly Qin Yanran. He knew that Qin Yanran's mother was the mayor of Jian'an City, and Qin Yanran himself was one of the few excellent students at Jian'an No. 1 Middle School.

  "Teacher Li, Su Lin is not at fault. He didn't hit Peng Shenda, but rather Peng Shenda was looking for trouble with Su Lin. Later, Peng Shenda was beaten up by Ye Qingyun. Everyone saw it with their own eyes and can testify to it."

  Qin Yanran showed no fear of the instructor Li Jianxing, but instead puffed out her small chest and stood up straight, arguing with reason.
