I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 180 - 176: Resisting Beating

Chapter 180: Chapter 176: Resisting Beating

During the years she studied martial arts with Li Qing Mo, Qingran never thought she would actually need to use them.

Fortunately, she put her whole heart into whatever she did; even a few years of self-defense were more than enough to deal with Liang Fan.

Wen Shiyi protected Liang Fan with the same protective stance, as if she had made up her mind that Xie Ying’an wouldn’t lay a hand on her.

Xie Ying’an indeed wouldn’t make a move. His proper upbringing made it impossible for him to hit a girl, no matter the situation.

Protected by Wen Shiyi, Liang Fan gloated somewhat, his gaze towards Xie Ying’an was provocative: "Xie Ying’an, want to hit me again? Wasn’t the last reflection paper enough for you?"

Xie Ying’an didn’t even bother to spare him a glance, a youth against the light, his entire demeanor was cold, and his tone was chilling: "You’re only fit to hide behind a woman!"

What a joke.

Liang Fan laughed shamelessly, and before his smile fully formed, Qingran’s fist had already landed on his mouth corner.

Before Liang Fan could react from his confusion, a punch and a kick rhythmically landed on his body.

"Ah! Li Qingran... ah... you—" The extremely painful sensation from the hit allowed Liang Fan to realize belatedly that this was not the legendary weak punches and kicks. Although the force was different from Xie Ying’an and Li Qing Mo, it was definitely not inferior to theirs.

Not only was Liang Fan unable to react, but neither Wen Shiyi nor Xie Ying’an expected that the usually peaceful girl would actually start hitting someone today.

This made both of them speculate what on earth had happened?

Whatever had happened, in terms of the disparity between men and women, it was surely something disadvantageous to Qingran.

Now Xie Ying’an no longer had the rule of not hitting girls. His face dark as ink, he grabbed Wen Shiyi’s school uniform and flung her to the side.

The force used did not take into consideration at all that she was a girl; Wen Shiyi was nearly thrown to the side.

Ruan Ruan and her group, who had been hiding in the shadows, seeing the situation turning bad, also came running out, they stood in front of Wen Shiyi to prevent her from causing trouble.

Compared to last time, Xie Ying’an’s punches were even more severe this time, with each blow bringing a gust of wind.

Liang Fan was beaten severely this time, with neither Qingran nor Xie Ying’an showing any mercy.

But this guy was quite enduring, his nose and face swollen, yet he could still coldly snort: "Ganging up on me, what skill is that?"

Qingran stopped, took a wet wipe from Ruan Ruan and methodically wiped her fingers, having hit Liang Fan, she felt not a trace of regret.

To be honest, before making a move, Qingran only thought of humiliating Liang Fan a bit to avenge the Li Qingran in the books and relieve herself.

She actually didn’t intend to take action, but Liang Fan’s gaze towards Xie Ying’an, a look of ’what can you do about it’, was truly infuriating, and coupled with her anger at the moment, she somewhat couldn’t hold back.

After all, it was the sports field, even though there weren’t many people at this time, students were still passing by.

This one-sided fight did not last long, and they were soon called to the head of discipline’s office.

Seeing that this fight again involved the top student Xie Ying’an, the head of discipline closed his eyes, rubbed his sore forehead, deeply sighed, upon opening his eyes, he realized that not only the top student but also the second and third top students were involved.

The head of discipline now felt more than just headache, even his internal organs started to hurt.

He glanced at them, sighed deeply with a disappointment that could forge steel, then angrily took out his phone to make calls, one after another.

No need to guess, he was calling the homeroom teachers of the first and second classes.

Continuously beaten by two people, Liang Fan right now only felt headaches, facial pain, back pain, everything hurt, he leaned against the wall and the look he gave to Qingran and Xie Ying’an in front still had a hint of enjoying a drama.

In this fight, he was the victim, he never fought back from beginning to end.

Old Wu and Teacher Liu arrived almost concurrently.

Seeing the students lined up, Old Wu was still okay, managing to keep his composure.

Teacher Liu was different, ever since she knew that Liang Fan’s family background was nowhere near Xie Ying’an’s, she thought Liang Fan was just crazily courting death.

Before Liang Fan arrived, she had never heard of Xie Ying’an from Class A initiating any trouble or fights, but once Liang Fan showed up, Xie Ying’an began to frequently stir up trouble, and every time it was with Liang Fan?

Teacher Liu knew these matters, and so did the dean of discipline, especially since Xie Ying’an was the only student after Ji Yanchen who brought prestige to the school, receiving extensive attention from the school authorities.

Lax in teaching, the teacher’s fault.

Old Wu and Teacher Liu stood together in front of the dean of discipline, both bowing their heads, waiting for the reprimand.

After waiting for a while, the dean of discipline calmed down a bit, pointing at the students still standing in line, his finger tapping on the table loudly: "I haven’t asked them about the details yet, good that you both are here, make sure to clearly understand the cause and effect this time, or next time you both will be punished together!"

Old Wu and Teacher Liu nodded like pounding garlic.

Qingran narrated the sequence of events.

Qingran spoke candidly about how Liang Fan, upon his unsuccessful confession, became embarrassed and angry, and then they exchanged insults.

"...I made it clear that studying is the most important thing at our age, but classmate Liang Fan..." Qingran paused.

In the young girl’s smooth, round eyes was an open and clear expression; her eyebrows slightly furrowed with a hint of distress in her demeanor.

Seeing his own student so aggrieved, Old Wu, somewhat furious, gave Teacher Liu a look; he didn’t say anything, but that look seemed to say it all.

Even Qingran understood Old Wu’s gaze: control your own student!

Teacher Liu felt a bit embarrassed, hoping desperately that Li Qingran embellished her story, so she asked Liang Fan: "Regarding what Li Qingran said, do you have anything to add, or any objections?"

"Of course I do..." Liang Fan wasn’t foolish and grasped a bit of his homeroom teacher’s intention. Just as he was about to make excuses, a girl standing next to Ruan Ruan stepped forward.

The girl seemed somewhat jittery: "Good, good day teachers! I, I, I can testify for Li Qingran, what she said is all true."

Teacher Liu frowned and glanced at her: "Who are you? Any evidence for your testimony?"

Being glared at by Teacher Liu’s sharp gaze, the girl didn’t know what to say for a moment, then suddenly remembering something, she fumbled with her phone: "I, I, I was just passing by and heard it, so I turned on my phone to record..."

Who the hell turns on their phone to record when they overhear some idle gossip?

Knowing that anything they said now was useless, Teacher Liu asked Qingran again: "It’s Liang Fan’s fault for the confession, but why, did you have to physically attack Liang Fan?"

Xie Ying’an snorted coldly, and Qingran hurriedly and quietly tapped his hand, signalling him not to speak.

Xie Ying’an glanced sideways at her, Qingran gave him a little squint.

Having known each other for many years, Xie Ying’an understood Qingran’s meaning, it was just about her handling this matter alone today.

Even though Qingran explained everything from top to bottom clearly, they still couldn’t escape the task of writing a reflective essay.

But luckily, it wasn’t just her writing the essay, Liang Fan and Xie Ying’an had to write one as well.

Although Liang Fan was the victim who got beaten up, the reason he was hit, after talking it through, was because he initiated it, so Liang Fan received a warning.

Qingran was not wrong in her conjecture; at this crucial juncture after she passed the semifinals, even though she initiated the physical confrontation, given the sufficient reasons, even the dean of discipline didn’t bring up the matter of recording faults.

Wen Shiyi stood next to Liang Fan, like an accessory, silent throughout.

What Qingran didn’t know was that, after they left, Old Wu and Teacher Liu, who were usually known as kind-hearted people, erupted into an unprecedented quarrel.

The sharp-tongued Teacher Liu, ultimately wrong, lost the battle!
