When Shan was surrounded by the students from the Second High, Lin Luoran and Lin Zhouwu were present.
Lin Zhouwu replied with a humorous yet resolute statement, "We are part of Su Can's group."
This joking tone was not seen as frivolous; rather, it garnered some respect. It seems that Su Can’s popularity is indeed high!
The sentence also hinted at easing the tense relationship between Su Can and Wang Weiwei. Lin Zhouwu, though appearing carefree, could be quite perceptive. He understood the situation well enough to support Wang Weiwei when Su Can and Wang had a falling out; it was only natural for him to do so rather than ignore their long friendship.
Ultimately, although there are issues that would cause conflict with Su Can due to strong reactions from these youths, he has also managed to integrate into their lives.
In this small city, they see it as a temporary stopover, but increasingly, they begin to realize it might be more than just that. The people they meet here may not simply pass by or nod and leave; even after graduation, these individuals could become part of their lives in ways beyond exchanging yearbooks.
The events and people in this place have unknowingly become a part of their existence, though they might not yet be aware of it.
Su Can felt somewhat relieved to see Wang Weiwei at the moment, even if he wasn't fond of being called a member of "Su Can's group."
Yang Mu noticed his side seemed less aggressive and more inclined towards reconciliation. He sneered slightly, eyeing Wang Weiwei and others with a provocative tone, “What’s this Using your school grounds to gather people openly Do you want to fight me”
The Second High students frowned at this.
Yang Mu stepped forward in an aggressive manner, pointing at Su Can's forehead. "Fight! Aim here!" he said firmly, word by word.
The atmosphere around them immediately tensed up. Yang Mu was even more pleased seeing the situation; with his extensive experience, how could a one-on-one fight disadvantage him These Second High students were his biggest support, but Liu Rui's indecisiveness at the last moment made it hard for them to choose sides.
However, in terms of influence, Yang Mu was still higher. If he managed to incite the fighting spirit within these students, their superior size and strength would ensure that anyone supporting Su Can would be easily defeated. Of course, if the delicate girl saw her trusted companions fall one after another under overwhelming force, it might make for a striking sight as she cries.
Yang Mu felt extremely likely that he would display his most brilliant moment in front of the two girls who were at the level of school beauties in their current school today.
When Su Can saw Yang Mu's eyes turn around excitedly, looking at Chen Lingshan and Lin Luoran with an increasingly unabashed manner, he knew what was going on inside Yang Mu's mind. Su Can wasn't belittling Wang Weiwei and Lin Zhoudance; although these two might often fight each other, they were still somewhat weak against the students from No. 2 High School.
Although Wang Weiwei didn't say it out loud, judging by how he was maintaining a standoff while subtly observing his surroundings, he knew that Wang Weiwei had a good sense of self-awareness and understood that their chances of winning were slim against the seven people selected from the basketball and football teams.
Su Can did not want this to happen; he didn't want "Su Can's Gang" to be destroyed on its first day of establishment.
"Let me put it plainly. We came to No. 1 High School for two friends, so what business is that of yours I know your kind of vanity - you excel academically and have good social skills, so as long as the person is female, you want to show off in front of others. Let me ask you, do you find it tiring living like this! Kid, you'd better stay out of these matters!"
Seeing that the students from No. 2 High School were gradually getting riled up and seeing that although there were some students from No. 1 High School passing by, none dared to intervene, Yang Mu felt a little excited. If he could take down those in front of Su Can first with an attack, how much of a sensation would it create among the surrounding students of No. 1 High School
And tomorrow, would his name become something that no school in this area would dare to provoke
"You're right! Yang Mu, you really are my brother!" Zhao Chunyang also got excited and stared at Liu Rui with resentment.
Saying so made the students from No. 1 High School feel both angry and anxious; Li Weimei pointed at him, her chest heaving up and down, "You! You! With her personality, if she had the upper hand already, she would have long ago spat Yang Mu to death several times. At this moment, however, all she can do is swallow the anger in her heart. If it comes to conflict, Su Can's group will be at a disadvantage!"
Seeing Chen Lingshan look at the tense situation and Li Weimei swallowing her fury, understanding her thoughts, Chen Lingshan knew that if there was a clash, things would go badly for them! Steeling herself, she bit her lip lightly and made up her mind.
As Yang Mu became increasingly incendiary with these few big guys from No. 2 High School's expressions turning gloomy and their teeth clenched tightly together, Liu Rui stepped forward, planning to defuse the tension by saying, "Yang Mu, could you really take this into consideration This is truly my good brother!"
Yang Mu waved his hand slowly, interrupting him decisively: "Whom are you going to help Be straightforward! Help Zhao Chunyang and I'm your brother. Help him, and sorry, from now on, Yang Mu has no connection with you. If you want to block me, my fists won't be considerate of eyes; you decide for yourself!"
Receiving such a harsh response, Liu Rui's face alternated between green and white.
Chen Lingshan clenched her fingers together tightly as she prepared to speak.
Dian Cong, I promise you that this matter is none of anyone else's business. Don't drag him into it.
Su Can suddenly pointed at a figure in the crowd and shouted fiercely, "Wang Haoran, how long have you been watching If you're a man, come out here!"
Wang Haoran, who had been observing this scene coldly, was initially taken aback. His personality didn't incline him toward heroically rescuing damsels in distress. Instead, Yang Mu and he were rivals; Su Can's making Chen Chong drop out of school also put them at odds. He enjoyed watching the two fight like cats and dogs, even with a sense of vindictive pleasure.
However, when Su Can called him by name, it pierced through the crowd observing this situation straight to Wang Haoran.
As an important figure in No. 1 High School, being told to "get out" so directly made Wang Haoran's blood boil. He immediately pushed his way through the crowd and approached Su Can with a face full of dark clouds, about to let loose a torrent of abuse.
"What do you want by calling me out Do you want to fight one-on-one I've disliked you for some time now," Wang Haoran started to say. Yang Mu was also surprised; turning around, he saw with the corner of his eye that Su Can had made a move!
Before he could turn back again, it was already too late.
In an instant that stunned everyone for three seconds, Su Can ran up and then leaped into the air like a spring, kicking Yang Mu in his chest without warning. The tremendous impact sent Yang Mu flying backward.
Su Can called out at just the right moment, "Here's a gift for you!" He followed through with his momentum and landed a blow that sent Yang Mu tumbling towards Wang Haoran.
Yang Mu crashed into the ground with a thud as Wang Haoran was stepping forward to face Su Can.
The entire process, from Su Can's run-up to the kick, saw everyone's heads collectively move from left to right. The initial shock made their eyeballs and necks react before their brains could comprehend what had happened. Yang Mu had never seen his own feet so close to his head; Wang Haoran was still bewildered by what he witnessed, finding all eyes on him as if he were a medieval executioner donning red robes, awaiting the moment to carry out his punishment.
Wang Haoran would have stepped on Su Can's head without hesitation had it been beneath his feet, but now that it was Yang Mu’s panic-stricken one, he was even more unrestrained in his steps. It seemed as if Su Can had set up a perfect shot for Wang Haoran to execute.
When Su Can finished with the blow and stood upright again with an innocent facade, he noticed Wang Weiwei, Chen Lingshan, Li Weimei, Lin Luoran, Lin Zhouwu, Liu Rui all staring at him with a god-like gaze.
Su Can smiled at Zhao Chunyang, who was similarly stunned, saying four words: "Deception is war." The latter found his legs suddenly go weak.
To let himself and Wang Weiwei, et al., charge at these seven tall guys from the No. 2 High School with great courage would indeed seem impressive and surely elicit cheers from onlookers. But this scenario is only possible in a martial arts movie or dream.
Initially, Su Cen had not thought of strategies like hitting the enemy where it hurts most or attacking their leader first. However, Yang Mu's eloquent speech did an excellent job at stirring up anger among the male students from No. 2 High School in waves. Furthermore, upon noticing Wang Haoran sneaking around to get a good angle to watch the commotion, Su Cen came up with this plan on the spot.
These people from No. 2 High School were not entirely antagonistic towards him and Liu Rui; as long as he utilized this fact well and swiftly dealt with Yang Mu, all sources of provocation and command centers would be dismantled. Zhao Chunyang's stunned expression was the best affirmation of Su Cen’s strategies.
Later on, due to his interactions with people like Yang Mu who were heavily influenced by negative social habits, Liu Rui also got involved in many street fights and developed a somewhat violent personality. He even ended up being detained at the police station once for fighting someone in Xiahai. Many of his life’s significant directions changed because he was immersed among these people.
Now, with this single punch to Yang Mu, Liu Rui would officially part ways with him completely.
Liu Rui timely stepped forward and calmed the agitated No. 2 High School students. With Su Cen's actions, the emotions of the surrounding No. 1 High School students were also highly charged. The explosive atmosphere temporarily subdued everyone. Wang Haoran continued to vent his anger by kicking Yang Mu relentlessly.
Wang Weiwei clearly showed dissatisfaction with Su Cen taking action without consulting him first.
Ling Geren patted his chest and said, "You really scared me!"
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Lingshan held Li Lu Mei's hand and thanked Su Cen.
In her heart, she regretted for the first time due to Su Cen's help. If Su Cen had not stepped up for them, perhaps they could have naturally reconciled after some time and possibly adjusted their recent gloomy mood by revisiting the topic of who could be together forever.
But now, under everyone’s gaze, many people were probably waiting to see how Chen Lingshan would react toward Su Cen. Would she become infatuated with him regardless of everything Isn’t that what romantic stories describe So in everyone's eyes, she was undoubtedly the princess who appeared for a hero.
Her pride taught her that she could never be such a princess to be carried back by a valiant knight after slaying a dragon.
After saying “thank you” to Su Cen, she pulled Li Weimei away and walked down the slope at dusk. She thought how this was happening and why the distance between her and Su Cen seemed to grow increasingly wider.
