Free Web NovelChapter 403: Chapter 405: School Bullying
A pained scream rang out, just as expected. The male teacher hurried over to pull the boy back.
The boy rubbed his butt as he slowly sat up from the ground.
His eyes were red, a look of astonishment on his face. ’When did this garbage picker get so strong?’
At the same time, he was seething with resentment. Su Nian had just slammed him down so forcefully, and he had landed right on his butt.
He couldn’t help but rub his butt. Seeing the expressions on his classmates’ faces, he felt humiliated, pathetic, and absolutely furious.
"You garbage picker! Just you wait, I’ll get you for this!"
Furious and stunned, he charged forward, intending to strike Su Nian.
Su Nian’s lips curled into a smirk. She said nothing, but had already lifted her foot slightly. If he dared get any closer, she would send him flying with a single kick.
The burly male teacher finally lost his temper and yanked the boy back.
"Everyone, fall in!"
His roar finally restored some semblance of discipline. The students fell back into formation on the field, lazily finished their warm-ups, and were then dismissed for free time.
[What the heck? Is this school bullying?]
[I’m a little confused.]
Meanwhile, Su Nian glanced down at her phone. She seemed to have found a flaw in the scenario.
Phones weren’t allowed at school, yet Su Nian was holding hers, and no one in this scene seemed to notice.
[So weird. What’s going on?]
[How many is that now? Why is every one of these so bizarre?]
[Did the host piss someone off?]
[What are you talking about? She didn’t piss off a person. She definitely pissed off a ghost!]
Su Nian narrowed her eyes, scanning her surroundings. ’Time to guess,’ she thought, ’how did this ghost die?’
’First of all, the ghost is definitely that boy, the one who was leading the others.’
’How would a childish little boy like him have managed to get himself killed?’
This boy was, indeed, a ghost.
School violence was a common fear. A student with no power to fight back could only cower and endure being bullied. Since a mental attack had failed to break her will, he figured he would try bullying her instead, hoping to score a surprise victory. This was his plan: to crush Su Nian’s will through school bullying.
But clearly, he had underestimated Su Nian.
A girl suddenly sidled up to her conspiratorially.
She whispered to Su Nian, "Hey, psst. I know you like Xu Ning, and I heard he might like you too! He’s waiting for you by the sports equipment room right now. You should go! Good luck to you two!"
The girl’s face was fixed in an unnatural smile. She must have racked her brain to come up with a story so full of holes.
The flaws were numerous. It was obvious that all these students looked down on Su Nian; there was no way they would be this kind to her.
Su Nian regarded her calmly, her deep eyes making the messenger girl’s heart flutter with fear. Something felt very wrong.
But she swallowed hard.
’She’s just a garbage picker. What’s there to be afraid of?’
’The class president said he’d give me ten bucks if I tricked her into going!’
’Besides, this garbage picker stinks. Nobody wants to hang out with her. Luring her away would be doing the whole class a favor.’
The girl justified her actions to herself, so she still sounded perfectly self-assured when she spoke.
"Come on! Don’t keep him waiting!"
Su Nian raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Alright... I’m on my way..."
