The backdrop can also be propped up.

Upon hearing this, Diffus's heart skipped a beat—he was startled—and when he opened his eyes, he met David's deep gray eyes.

Diffus quickly lost his touch, as David struck him on the head with an electric bass.

Not only that, David let out a roar: "I've been putting up with you for too long!"

David swung his bass a bit too hard, and Diffus clutched his head and squatted on the ground, too painful to make a sound.

Seeing that Diffus had been hit, Diffus's friends who were still conscious didn't have time to deal with the three girls and turned their attention to David.

The fight had already exhausted David's already limited strength. He bent down and watched the three girls run away, feeling alright.

Several people rushed forward and pinned David to the ground.

"You piece of trash! How dare you?" The man who had been with Devans the longest kicked David, who was pinned to the ground, first. Then he helped Devans up and asked with concern, "Are you alright, boss?"

Diffus was still a little dizzy from the electric bass hit David delivered.

Devans was helped up shakily by the person who had been by his side the longest. Looking down at David's face with deep dark circles under his eyes, and remembering the bad luck he had had these past few days, Devans gritted his teeth in anger, intending to vent all his anger on David, who had stayed behind.

The man holding Davis immediately understood what Diffens was planning when he saw Diffens' expression.

Then the hood of David's hoodie was pulled down, and someone grabbed David's slightly long hair, forcing David and Diffens to look at each other.

“Hey, your three friends left you here.” Diffus didn’t rush to hit David, intending to first see David’s attitude towards the three girls leaving him here alone to be beaten.

It was rare to see this unlucky kid surrounded by a few people, and Diffans guessed that they must be quite important to David.

David didn't speak, but simply looked at Diffus with his calm, light gray eyes.

Seeing that David was still the same as before, preferring to be beaten rather than change his indifferent attitude, Diffus was a little annoyed, so he continued, "It seems they don't care about you much either; they just opened the door and ran away."

David did not break down as Diffens had expected. On the contrary, seeing Diffens's disheveled appearance, David's usually expressionless face curled into a mocking smile.

A quick-thinking person nearby immediately slapped David across the face and scolded him sharply, "What are you laughing at! Your brother is concerned about you, you know that!"

David's face was turned to the side by the slap, and his face, which was only slightly red from overexertion, now bore a bright red handprint.

But David was still smiling, and even let out two indistinct laughs from his throat.

"What are you laughing at?" Diffus felt a little flustered for some reason when he saw David's unusual behavior.

But then Devans thought again: This kid had only been getting beaten up before, and he dared to fight back this time, probably only because those three girls led the way—because he didn't want to be out of place with them, he joined the fight.

After realizing the logic was consistent, Diffus found David somewhat ridiculous. He kicked David in the chest and said with a wicked smile, "You'll do anything to fit in now, huh? But too bad, they didn't rush to save you, they ran away first."

David was in a lot of pain from the kick to his chest, and it took him a while to recover.

Diffus continued rambling on, hoping to catch a glimpse of David's hurt feelings because of friendship.

Before David could finish hearing Diffans's string of childish remarks, his Adam's apple bobbed, and two words burst from his chest: "Idiot."

Upon hearing this, Divans was taken aback. He hadn't expected his younger brother to interrupt him for the first time, and to do so with insults.

Realizing what had happened, Diffus flew into a rage and no longer wanted to provoke David's reaction to their friendship. He raised his fist, grabbed David by the collar, and was about to punch him in the face.

"What are you doing?" A sweet female voice came from the stage exit.

Diffus's fist stopped in mid-air. Several people behind the stage turned to look at the stage exit and saw a woman with long, flowing hair standing at the exit.

Diffus was getting a little impatient—why was it so hard to get anything done today?

Just as Devans opened her mouth to scold the person at the door and tell her to mind her own business, she froze when she saw the person's face.

It's An Yingxue.

While several people were fighting, An Yingxue had just squeezed past her classmates who wanted to get close to her and squeezed into the dressing room with her friend Li Luer.

“Those guys are so enthusiastic,” Li Lu’er exclaimed. “You really are the best, baby.”

"I should be thanking you. If you hadn't chosen to lend me your clothes and such, I might not have been able to give such a good performance," An Yingxue said sincerely, taking Li Luer's hands in hers.

"Well, just remember what I did for you." Li Lu'er proudly raised her head.

Then the door to the walk-in closet was suddenly kicked open.

An Yingxue and Li Luer were both startled. After realizing that the people who broke down the door were three girls, Li Luer mustered her courage and asked first, "What are you three doing?"

Of the three girls, only the red-haired one explained in a very low voice. The dark brown-haired one and the tea-brown-haired one didn't say anything. They rushed to An Yingxue as if they had teleported, grabbed her, and ran outside.

The girl with dark brown hair ran while saying, "Quick, quick, quick! Someone you know is hitting someone. Go and stop them!"

An Yingxue was stunned from the moment the two girls lifted her up. Only after they ran out of the dressing room did she realize what was happening and ask them, "Where are you taking me?"

The brown-haired girl, wearing high heels, said as she ran, "There's no time to explain, get through here! Someone will die if we're any later!"

Li Lu'er only realized what was happening when she saw An Yingxue being dragged outside the dressing room by the two girls. Just as she was about to chase after them, the remaining girl grabbed her hand.

"I'll tell you! What do you want to do..." Li Lu'er originally wanted to get angry at the girl who was holding her hand, but after seeing the red-haired girl's injured hand, her tone softened involuntarily.

"Please don't interfere with their actions," Andra whispered to the imposing light pink-haired girl in front of her. "An Yingxue is of great use to us."

"You should at least tell me what you're taking her to do," Li Lu'er said, a little annoyed. "It's really scary to suddenly rush in and drag someone away like that."

"I'm sorry, I'll take you there." Andra said as she ran forward to catch up with Zhao Wuyin and "Sun Xi".

Seeing that the people had run away, Li Lu'er hurriedly chased after them—she was determined to see what these three girls were up to with An Yingxue.

An Yingxue also wanted to know, but she could only learn from the two girls that she was going to be taken away by them to mediate the fight.

"Who should I go and try to break up their fight?" An Yingxue asked. The two girls were running at similar speeds and were about the same height, so she wouldn't feel too uncomfortable from the jolting.

"We're here! Go down and see for yourself," said the girl with dark brown hair, stopping at the same time as the girl with light brown hair.

An Yingxue was put down by them. She looked up and saw that the sign on the door indicated the exit behind the stage.

"Why did you bring me here?" An Yingxue asked as she looked inside, and then saw a group of people surrounding a thin person.

One of them even raised his fist, about to strike the thin man.

An Yingxue almost instinctively shouted, "What are you doing?"

Upon seeing that the person raising his fist was Devans, An Yingxue was immediately overwhelmed by anger.

"What are you doing?" An Yingxue asked again, then clenched her fist and walked straight in.

"Ah Xue!? Let me explain..." Seeing his beloved arrive, Devans unconsciously let go of her hand, not even noticing that David had fallen to the ground.

Seeing their leader's cowardly appearance, the group knew that this was Difansi's sweetheart, and dared not make any further moves.

Seeing that Diffus had thrown David to the ground, Zhao Wuyin quickly followed "Sun Xi" and dragged David away from the "battlefield," marveling to himself that the little cake's method actually worked.

The three of them initially went to the teacher, but after hearing their description of the bully, the teacher refused to get involved.

Just as Zhao Wuyin was thinking about where to find a handy weapon that could take people down as quickly as possible, "Sun Xi" clapped her hands, grabbed them, and ran towards the dressing room.

As she ran, "Sun Xi" explained her plan: to find An Yingxue and mediate the fight. Di Fansi had a certain fondness for An Yingxue, so it should be useful.

After listening, Zhao Wuyin was initially skeptical, but the situation was urgent, so he had no choice but to try anything.

"I didn't expect it to actually work!" Zhao Wuyin thought to himself as he and "Sun Xi" led David to the stage exit.

After Andra brought Li Lu'er to the place, he went to find the school doctor.

After the two girls dragged David out, the school doctor arrived and treated David's injuries.

Feeling a bit strange watching the school doctor apply medicine to a boy, Lu Renkui turned to face the stage exit and began to watch the grand performance.

It has to be said that the argument inside was quite intense.

An Yingxue questioned Di Fansi: "Why did you bully your classmates?"

Devans hurriedly said, "That's my brother..."

An Yingxue became even angrier and said, "He's your brother, why are you bullying him like this?"

Diffus said, "David and I are half-brothers, and we have always been enemies."

An Yingxue then asked, "Can't we talk things out? Why do we have to fight?"

Devans said weakly, "I don't like David..."

Seeing one of the dark brown-haired girls who had beaten him up peering through the doorframe, Diffens added, "I was actually beaten up by David and his gang too, so we're even."

An Yingxue seemed even angrier upon hearing this, her once sweet voice rising several octaves: "You were the ones who started it, weren't you? How come you still haven't realized your mistake?"

Watching this exciting scene, Lu Renkui suddenly felt a strong urge to pull out a bag of sunflower seeds—just like the system WQBYRZM—so that he wouldn't be so bored watching this show.
