The scattered students went back to their seats before the teacher arrived. Their first class was taken by their homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu who taught maths.
Xie Yang having been out of school for nearly two decades found the experience a little surreal. In his past life, he had not given the CSAT and had dropped out due to the fight with his parents.
This had always been a weakness for Chairman Xie Yang as he was ridiculed for being illiterate. Of course, no one dared to say that to his face. None of them were stupid enough to seek death by insulting the husband of the head of Zhou Family.
They were all flattering and praising in front of him and Kai but behind his back all of them looked down on him despite him developing a VR game and console where one could actually experience all five of their senses in the virtual world leading to a new breakthrough in technology.
Although he didn't care about what others said, it had always been a regret for him to have not given the CSAT exam. This time around, he would make sure that he doesn't miss it a second time.
At lunch time, Xie Yang rejected the students who came to ask him for lunch and got up to look for Zhou Kai but found his seat empty.
'Hey Leo.' Xie Yang called out in his mind.
"Yes?" Leo who was looking out the window replied lazily.
'Help me look for Kai.'
"En"
Xie Yang went out of his class and walked in the corridors to try and look for him himself as he waited for Kai's accurate location.
He had turned to walk down the stairs when Leo called out to him in his mind.
'Hey! I found your husband. He's behind the school building, in that shallow but broad alleyway that leads to a dead end.'
'K, Thanks Leo.'
Xie Yang increased his speed and soon got out of the school building. He slowed down and walked leisurely while looking for the place where Leo had seen Kai.
Leo was standing in front of the alley opening with an interested look in his face. He turned his head to see Xie Yang approaching him.
"Hey, how come you never told me that your husband was such a trouble maker when he was young?"
Leo said in a jubilant tone but his face showed an expression as if he had missed out on some interesting drama.
'Because I forgot myself. What is he doing here anyway?' Xie Yang asked as he turned the corner only to be met with what looked like scene of a group of students being bullied.
His beloved husband also seemed to be the one doing the bullying.
Zhou Kai: ∑(; °Д°)
Zhou Kai's gang: (;°ロ°)
The bunch on the ground: ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜
Zhou Kai was in the back, leaning on the wall with a lit cigarette in his mouth. His friends were surrounding a group of 4-5 students who were kneeling and seemed to have received a good beating with all of their faces having varying degrees of bruises.
Seeing him suddenly appear, the two groups had very contrasting thoughts in their heads. The kneeling bunch had a look in their faces as if they had been saved while Zhou Kai's group had a look in their as if they had been caught.
Zhou Kai's face looked especially ugly.
'Fuck! What if sweetheart thinks that we were bullying these bastards?! We weren't!! It was these bastards who picked a fight first!!'
Xie Yang was stunned.
No wonder Leo was acting like he missed out on some worthy drama. It appears he too had missed out.
After the initial shock from the rather misleading scene, Xie Yang understood right away that it was the kneeling bunch who must have picked a fight first.
Kai did not have a habit of picking fights. All of his fights had happened because the other party was seeking trouble.
Also Kai's ugly expression was pretty funny but the moment he saw the cigarette in his mouth, his heart instantly turned cold.
Since it wasn't Kai's group who picked the fight, he would let them teach these guys a lesson but don't blame him for being being mad at them for smoking despite his countless warnings and lectures.
To the surprise of both the groups, Xie Yang lifted one of his beautiful curved eyebrows and gave a lazy smile. He walked to where Kai was standing and leaned on the wall beside him with his hands inside his pockets.
"What's wrong? Done with the beating?" Xie Yang asked in a clearly amused tone.
"Pres!! What do you mean?! Can't you see that we're being bullied?!" One of the guys in the kneeling bunch yelled out.
What is wrong with the Pres today?! If it had been any other day, he would have already told them to stop and called the teacher!!
The casual smile on Xie Yang's face dropped and he stared at the guy who ran his mouth with an expressionless face.
The immediate change in expression shocked the the kneeling bunch while the eyes which looked at them as if they were dead scared them speechless.
They didn't even dare to meet his eyes and just looked down at the ground.
Seeing this, Xie Yang withdrew his glare and looked at Wu Longnian who was standing close to him.
"Wu Longnian, pass me a cigarette." Xie Yang said in a completely natural voice as if what he was asking for was not some expensive cigarette but a piece of snack.
Wu Longnian didn't even feel that the way he was addressed so casually was weird. He quickly went to his side and offered him the whole box.
Xie Yang took the box, pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He gave Wu Longnian a look as if asking for a lighter.
Just when he was about to light it for him, Zhou Kai snatched the cigarette from Xie Yang's mouth and threw it on the ground and spat out his own cigarette before he began to stomp on it.
This behaviour shocked everyone present excluding Xie Yang who expected this outcome.
