In his sleep, Long Aotian heard a suppressed sob.
He groggily opened his eyes and saw Hu Yuying sobbing while trying to piece together the broken pen case, hoping she could still continue using it.
Seeing this, Long Aotian took a few pens from his pencil case and placed them in front of Hu Yuying: "Don't cry, you can use my pens."
"Thank you."
Seeing the pens on the desk, Hu Yuying took a deep breath, trying her best not to let others see traces of her crying, but her slightly red eyes and trembling shoulders betrayed her.
After a moment of hesitation, Long Aotian still chose to ask, "What's wrong?"
When Hu Yuying heard him, she pursed her lips, and gently shook her head: "No, it's nothing."
She's crying and still saying nothing; do I look like an idiot?
He looked around the classroom and finally focused his gaze on Wang Shuo, because he was looking at Hu Yuying with a smug expression.
He immediately understood.
In the original plot, it was the original Long Aotian who took the lead in bullying Hu Yuying.
But because he had transmigrated and didn't follow the original plot, it became someone else who was bullying Hu Yuying.
"I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" Hu Yuying asked softly after composing herself.
"No, I just woke up."
"Do you need this? I saw you sleeping for the first two classes. If you need it, you can look at it." Hu Yuying used Long Aotian's pen, but she didn't want to owe him a favor.
So, she carefully handed her organized notes of key knowledge to Long Aotian.
Looking at the notebook Hu Yuying handed to him, Long Aotian thought for a moment and then took it.
With his current academic level, wanting to get into university was simply wishful thinking.
He had suffered once due to a lack of education and didn't want to suffer a second time!
In the original novel, Hu Yuying was a super academic overachiever. Even though she was constantly bullied, she still ranked at the top in every test.
Her notebook would be of great help to him at the moment.
Taking the notebook, Long Aotian paused, then said, "Actually, if you're being bullied, you can tell the teacher."
"It's no use," Hu Yuying said softly, lowering her gaze.
Hu Yuying's words made Long Aotian freeze for a moment.
When he read the novel, Hu Yuying's previous experiences were only briefly mentioned.
He didn't know about Hu Yuying's experiences before she transferred schools.
But according to the original plot, Hu Yuying didn't dare to tell the teacher when he bullied her, which was likely related to her previous experiences.
Long Aotian fell silent for a moment.
When he read novels, he only treated them as a tool to relieve boredom.
But after truly coming to this so-called novel world, his mindset changed.
The people in it were all flesh and blood, they were real.
They feel pain when they are hurt, cry when they are sad or wronged, laugh when they are happy, and regret when they do something wrong...
They were all striving and fighting for their own lives.
If he hadn't transmigrated with his memories, this world would be a real world.
The plot that the author briefly mentioned was something Hu Yuying had truly experienced.
The process was likely painful and bitter, gradually shaping Hu Yuying's current submissive character.
He sighed inwardly.
He opened the notebook, and the knowledge points recorded inside all included Hu Yuying's own analytical methods.
This was like Hu Yuying cooking the meal and then bringing it to Long Aotian's mouth. Now, all he had to do was open his mouth and eat the ready-made meal.
The break is over.
Long Aotian returned to the classroom and saw Wang Shuo standing in front of Hu Yuying's desk, maliciously using his finger to push Hu Yuying's pencil case and books onto the floor.
Long Aotian frowned and returned to his seat. Bullying always start from small to big. Right now, Wang Shuo was only targeting Hu Yuying's books, but if Hu Yuying still didn't dare to resist, it would gradually escalate to her.
Watching Wang Shuo crush the pen he gave Hu Yuying again, Long Aotian's mind flashed up the image of Hu Yuying's slightly red eyes, looking at him with a forced smile, trying to pretend she was fine.
He couldn't help but remember how he was bullied by other children in the orphanage.
However, he was different from Hu Yuying. He knew how to resist, and slowly, no one continued to bully him.
Taking a deep breath, as a young person of the new era, bullying was happening right before his eyes.
Should he really watch Hu Yuying once again, as in the original novel, be humiliated and bullied, eventually leading her to a painful and desperate situation?
When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.
How could he feel at ease if he had to watch Hu Yuying, step by step, descend into the abyss of despair and pain right before him?
No matter what, this must not be allowed to continue.
This script needed to change!
"This is the third time, isn't it?" Long Aotian tapped the desk with his knuckles.
Hearing Long Aotian's words, Wang Shuo turned around and frowned at Long Aotian: "This doesn't seem to concern you, does it?"
In his previous life!
Long Aotian dropped out of school early to work. After so many years of hard work, he suffered losses, was deceived, and even fought for wages...
Even though he was now eighteen again, shedding the appearance honed by society, the worldly aura in his eyes was still incomparable to that of these students still in school!
"What if I insist on getting involved?" Long Aotian stood up. His height of 1.85 meters, broad shoulders, and narrow waist, when he stood up, immediately displayed the domineering presence and strength of a man.
Wang Shuo, facing Long Aotian, who was two heads taller than him, involuntarily took a step back.
Previously, due to a minor dispute, he and Long Aotian had an argument.
In school, at most, they would swear at each other, saying that they knew someone and dared each other to meet at the school gate tonight
But unexpectedly, Long Aotian didn't buy it at all. He just started beating him without giving the him any face even though they were all bad students.
He had been beaten before, so he knew how ruthless Long Aotian could be.
Wang Shuo's eyes flickered. He was completely suppressed by Long Aotian's aura.
"Long, Long Aotian, the teacher said that if you hit someone again, you'll get a disciplinary record."
Seeing the fear on Wang Shuo's face, Long Aotian's smiled slightly.
You see, those who bully others are also afraid of being bullied.
"Do you think I care?"
He then slammed the desk.
The sound startled Wang Shuo, who trembled and took two more steps back, also attracting the attention of everyone in the classroom.
"School is a place for learning, not for bullying. If any of you have itchy hands and want to bully someone, come and bully me first!"
While the words were true, for some reason, when Long Aotian said them, everyone felt it was a bit strange.
Outside the classroom door, Hu Yuying stared blankly at Long Aotian, who had just spoken.
The sunlight shone on him, as if he was sparkling. A blush unconsciously spread across her eyes. She quickly lowered her gaze in a panic, leaned against the wall outside the classroom, and pretended to be calm, looking away...
