Daily life in the academy

After screaming, Bai Zhi closed her eyes to prepare for the pain all over her body after falling, but the moment she landed, her right hand was held by a pair of big hands, and her body was pulled back forcefully, and she stood steadily.

Before she could even open her eyes, she heard that familiar voice that always had a slightly teasing tone, but at this moment, it sounded refreshing to Bai Zhi, like a downpour after a long drought.

"Bai Zhi, why are you being chased again? You look so miserable when your face is beaten." Although Mu Bailian mocked him, her eyes were fixed on the two brothers of the Luo family behind her.

When Bai Zhi opened her eyes, she met those eyes that could move people's hearts. He was looking at Bai Zhi straight at this moment, with an unreadable expression.

"Prince, I'm sorry for bumping into you again." Bai Zhi said hesitantly.

Yan Qingchen glanced at the redness and swelling on her forehead and the obvious finger marks on her cheek, hummed lightly, and asked, "Did they beat you?"

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment before she reacted and nodded, "They surrounded me in front of the dormitory early in the morning, and I was accidentally caught and punched by them."

Yan Qingchen frowned, shifted his gaze to the two Luo brothers who looked terrified, and asked, "Did you provoke them?"

Before Bai Zhi could speak, Mu Bailian interrupted, "Brother Yan, who do you think Bai Zhi, with his small stature, would dare to mess with? Wasn't he chased all over the academy by that bastard Zhang Yongan last time?"

Although Mu Bailian is a bit rude, he can help at critical moments. Bai Zhi nodded in agreement with him.

Yan Qingchen pulled Bai Zhi aside, walked up to the two of them, pointed at Luo Yi and asked, "Did he hit her?"

Bai Zhi shook her head.

"That's you."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Qingchen grabbed Luo Lin's collar and punched him in the face. After only two punches, Luo Lin's face was covered in blood and tears, and he kept screaming. Luo Yi, who was originally standing next to him, was so scared that he sat down on the ground. Every time he heard his brother scream, his body trembled.

After about five or six punches, Yan Qingchen threw Luo Lin aside like a rag.

"roll."

Luo Lin had been beaten unconscious, with blood and saliva flowing out of the corners of his mouth. Luo Yi no longer cared about his injuries at this time. He picked him up with a trembling body, put him on his shoulders and ran away.

The crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement also made way for the two. An Ziqian had arrived at some point and, upon seeing what was happening, he hurried over to Bai Zhi with a smile and asked with concern, "Brother Bai, was your face slapped by those two Luo brothers?"

Bai Zhi nodded and gave another concise explanation.

An Ziqian regretted, "I should have realized that I couldn't scare them last time. Fortunately, Master Yan is here today, otherwise..." He shook his head in fear, and at this moment he seemed to be very familiar with Bai Zhi.

"Thank you so much, Mr. An, for the past two days. Otherwise, Bai would be even worse off than today."

"No, no, we are all students of Yunlu Academy, so we should help each other."

The two of them argued over whether to thank him or not. Mu Bailian looked like he was enjoying the show, his eyes darting back and forth between their faces.

Yan Qingchen interrupted coldly: "Don't you have to go to morning class?"

An Ziqian quickly bowed to Yan Qingchen and said, "I'm truly sorry for delaying Master Yan. Firstly, I wanted to offer my condolences to Brother Bai, and secondly, I deeply admire Master Yan's character and couldn't help but want to chat with you for a few more words."

"Isn't being Master Xue's lackey enough? Don't bother me." Yan Qingchen said this out of the blue. Without even looking at him, he said something to Mu Bailian and left. He walked towards Class Ding 6 without even looking back.

Mu Bailian pushed the dazed Bai Zhi and said, "What are you still looking at? Let's go. It's time for morning class. Old man Xie is back today. We can't let him get to us."

"okay."

Bai Zhi came back to her senses. She finally understood why An Ziqian hated Yan Qingchen. This little mouth was like poison. A person who values ​​face so much would be furious to death if he was called a lackey in front of others!

She felt sympathy for An Ziqian for two seconds, but she didn't know what he was thinking. Did he really want to make friends with her or was he testing her deliberately?

Anyway, as the male protagonist of the original book, An Ziqian can move around among so many women and coax them around, so he is obviously not a good person.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only An Ziqian. The smile on his face could no longer be maintained, and the look in his eyes gradually became deeper, as if there were waves surging in them, and those surging waves finally all focused on the person who was always the most eye-catching.

Of course, the people in front didn't care about the people and things behind them.

"The Luo brothers' father, Luo Zhongyan, was a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, working under Zhang Huaicang. I think he was under the instruction of that kid Zhang Yongan." Mu Bailian said as he raised his arm and placed it on Bai Zhi's shoulder. "Your small body obviously can't withstand a few punches from them."

Bai Zhi was already a little exhausted, so how could she support the weight of two people? She moved the arm away from her shoulder and asked casually, "Zhang Yongan...didn't Master Xie say he was going to investigate him last time? Why are they still so arrogant?"

Yan Qingchen suddenly spoke up: "How did you know that someone would stop us in the forest?" The simple question contained seven parts of inquiry and three parts of questioning.

What was to come finally came. Bai Zhi had long expected that Yan Qingchen, who had escaped the disaster, would ask about it, and she had prepared a draft in her mind early on.

"I happened to be in the dining hall when we made the bet. It happened to be after that martial arts lesson where Wenzhe had... uh... heatstroke. I overheard Xiao Qingyu talking to his companions about ropes and birds, and saw his smile was... a bit sinister. I immediately thought of the bet between you and him, Prince, so I took the initiative to remind you..."

"I didn't expect that although you are not tall, you have a very good brain." Mu Bailian clapped his hands and cheered.

Bai Zhi's words were unverifiable but plausible. She looked at the person involved nervously. His gaze was so intense that it seemed as if he could see through her. However, he quickly retracted his black pearl-like pupils and nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you."

"What?" Bai Zhi was very surprised. She thought she had heard it wrong and asked subconsciously.

"Brother Yan, did you hear that? He asked you to say thank you again." Mu Bailian was really annoyed at this moment.

Bai Zhi quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, I didn't. I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect that the prince would actually say thank you to me. I was a little panicked. Helping my classmates, no, it is my honor to help you, prince." She was a little incoherent at the end and didn't know what she was saying.

Yan Qingchen glanced at her calmly and asked, "Are you scared?"
