Chapter 18: Chapter 18: You and the Blond Kid Can’t Take the Civil Service Exam

Pei Yue’s face involuntarily turned ugly.

He didn’t know why he had suddenly knelt down!

Clenching his teeth, he stood up, ready to say something.

But the students who had run out of the classroom had already brought the teacher back, with several security guards hurrying behind.

Ye Xiao had been bouncing around before.

Now, seeing that people had arrived.

She instantly touched her forehead, looking very weak.

“Are you alright, student?” the teacher asked, walking over anxiously.

Ye Xiao suddenly grabbed the teacher’s arm, her voice trembling, “Teacher, Pei Yue, Pei Yue he… he wants to kill someone! He wants to kill someone!”

Her demeanor was frail, her voice high-pitched, and by the end, even the tones were quivering.

“Teacher! Quickly, take him away!” Ye Xiao screamed hysterically, “I’m scared, I’m so scared, I’m really terrified.”

“Ye Xiao, you…” Pei Yue’s expression changed, and he moved to step forward.

This woman hadn’t looked afraid before.

Ye Xiao’s trembling intensified as she hid behind the teacher, fearfully saying, “Teacher, look, he still has a knife in his hand! We are all feeble university students with little energy, and he actually carries a knife! What on earth does he intend to do? Teacher, I feel like my life is under serious threat.”

The teacher’s attention immediately turned to Pei Yue.

Pei Yue paused for a moment, his grip loosened instinctively, and the pencil sharpener fell to the floor.

A fellow student hurriedly picked up the pencil sharpener and passed it forward.

The teacher took it, looking at Pei Yue with a somewhat unpleasant expression, “Pei Yue, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to fly to heaven?”

Pei Yue’s face darkened involuntarily. As someone high and mighty, he disdained to explain anything!

Even if the whole world wronged him, he would still stand tall, proud and defiant.

Moreover…

This time it seemed like they hadn’t actually wronged him.

Bingtong hurriedly spoke, “Teacher, Pei Yue didn’t mean it, he just acted impulsively, look at Ye Xiao, she hasn’t been hurt at all.”

Ye Xiao, trembling more violently, said, “Teacher, it’s because he suddenly tripped himself, otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable! So many classmates saw it; he wanted to disfigure my face!”

Bingtong grew more anxious, “Pei Yue was just a bit impulsive, he just wanted to scare her, he didn’t really intend to do it! Moreover, it was you who wronged him first.”

I wronged him?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao went berserk on the spot.

She grabbed the teacher’s arm, tears flowing, “Teacher, this is truly an undeserved calamity! Bingtong and Pei Yue were secretly dating, and when her fiancé discovered he was being cuckolded, he wanted to end the engagement. Tell me, what does this have to do with me? It wasn’t me pressing down on them while they kissed!”

A burst of laughter erupted in the classroom.

Even the teacher was dumbfounded.

Are today’s students so dramatic??

“I know why Pei Yue wants to ruin my face! I do admit a bit of fault,” Ye Xiao said, her eyes brimming with tears.

“What fault?” the teacher asked unconsciously.

Ye Xiao sniffled and said with an air of righteousness, “Because I’m too pretty! With my good looks, Bingtong’s title as the school beauty doesn’t sit right, doesn’t feel deserved. Every time she sees me, she envies me. Pei Yue, wanting to please his girlfriend, planned to harm me! Teacher, such a person is a danger, and for us who are so vulnerable, having him in our school is like letting a wolf into a flock of sheep!”

The first part of what Ye Xiao said sounded utterly nonsensical, but she said it with such conviction that it seemed to make sense as you listened to it.

As the teacher heard the latter part, his face became completely grave.

Though Ye Xiao’s performance seemed somewhat exaggerated, the teacher had heard about Pei Yue’s issues.

He not only fought and scuffled, but it seemed he had also joined some gang outside.

Keeping such a person in the school, wouldn’t that tarnish the school’s reputation?

Initially, Pei Yue wasn’t like this at all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been admitted to their school. It was only later, after some family tragedies, that caused such a shift in his character.

The school had sympathy for him and had been lenient towards him.

But now!

He had even brought a knife into it!

Even if it’s just a small knife, this still goes beyond what the school can tolerate.

“Pei Yue. Ye Bingtong.” The teacher, with a stern face, said, “Come with me to the school office.”

“Teacher, you are the fair and righteous official, but you must clear my name,” Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up, and she shouted on the spot.

The teacher’s brow twitched slightly but then softened his tone, “Ye Xiao, come too, and tell us what happened.”

Ye Xiao puffed out her chest, “Don’t worry, teacher, I will tell you everything clearly!”

Hmph!

She hadn’t planned on hassling with this male and female lead.

After all, they were already troublesome enough by themselves.

But since the male lead insisted on provoking her.

She had no choice but to fight back.

It’s just a pity for that single word of hers!

She only had one word in stock, and after using it, she’d have to start over.

Does this damn male lead know how much damage he’s caused her?

He might get expelled, might even end up in jail again.

But what about her!

She lost a word!

As Ye Xiao looked at Pei Yue’s expression, she seemed quite menacing, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Pei Yue:

Who the heck is the real victim here?

After a whole morning of trouble, even the police were called in.

Ye Xiao recounted the morning’s conflict in full detail, the police also questioned a few students, and after comparing their stories with Ye Xiao’s, they confirmed that Ye Xiao was telling the truth.

Pei Yue already had a prior record of violence, and this time, he directly attempted to commit violence on campus.

Last time he injured someone, he was forgiven by the victim, which allowed him to be released.

This time.

Ye Xiao couldn’t forgive him!

Pei Yue was taken away by the police for the second time, having already been jailed several times for fighting and brawling—without Ye Xiao’s forgiveness, he was likely to spend a good few days there.

The school authorities consoled Ye Xiao for a bit and then let Ye Xiao and Ye Bingtong return first.

Ye Bingtong, clenching her teeth, looked at Ye Xiao angrily: “Pei Yue didn’t harm you in the slightest, why must you be so cruel! Don’t you realize that this could get him expelled, that this might tarnish his record forever?!”

Ye Xiao hadn’t planned on paying Ye Bingtong any mind.

But since she had come to her, Ye Xiao got fired up.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, “Oh? Your little blondie is covered in stains anyway; one more won’t make a difference. How many times has he been to the police station already? Might as well call it his second home. Don’t worry, he’s quite familiar with it.”

“Ye Xiao!” Ye Bingtong gritted her teeth: “I never thought you could be so unreasonable!”

“Oh?” Ye Xiao laughed, “Well congratulations, you finally have the correct understanding of me. You and your little blondie, leave me alone, or the next time you provoke me, I’ll hit back. Got it?”

She looked up, her demeanor was extremely arrogant.

Ye Bingtong’s lips trembled: “You think… now that you’re back in the Ye Family, you’ve really ascended to the heavens? You think I can’t fight you? Let me tell you, I didn’t want to fight before! But since you’re pressing me so hard, I can only retaliate now!”

“I’m waiting, really looking forward to it,” Ye Xiao said sarcastically.

Ye Bingtong, infuriated, turned around to leave.

“Wait,” Ye Xiao suddenly called out to her.

Ye Bingtong turned around, looking at her coldly.

Ye Xiao grinned: “Your child with your little blondie won’t be able to sit for the civil service exams in the future.”

Ye Bingtong: “???”

Crazy!
