An Ran immediately felt awkward, her delicate face turning crimson, but fortunately, it was night, so it wasn't visible.
So she quickly changed the subject, having prepared many things to tell Lin Xun.
"Um, Lin Xun, have you read the book 'Inferiority and Superiority'? You can read it when you have nothing to do; it's quite interesting."
Lin Xun found it hard to associate a serious psychology book with the word 'interesting'.
"Compared to that, I still prefer reading web novels on Tomato; I'm a simple person, I love reading those."
Lin Xun couldn't help but say.
With so much pressure from school, it was natural to read some relaxing books.
And this touched upon An Ran's blind spot in knowledge.
But to have something to talk about with Lin Xun and to enlighten him, she pretended to know.
"Oh~ web novels, I... I've actually looked into 'Cool literature' (Pleasure-style Literature); this literary genre is quite interesting, but I can't quite remember the founder..."
Lin Xun was completely bewildered.
Was this the same kind of book he read?
What kind of literature was 'Cool literature'?
"Class Monitor, why are you so worried about me? No one cares about someone who has nothing to do with them, right? Especially a 'fool'."
Lin Xun suddenly looked at An Ran seriously and asked.
Because most people, when facing a prevailing trend, often choose to conform so others don't think they're out of step.
Even if they feel strange inside, they will subconsciously conform and not show their strangeness.
But An Ran seemed not to care about these things.
Facing Lin Xun's question, An Ran seemed to fall into a dilemma.
After hesitating for a while, An Ran finally made up her mind, choosing to open her heart and share her past experiences.
Perhaps the best way to enlighten someone is to talk about how one overcame difficult times.
When Lin Xun heard that An Ran had also been pursued by He Dongcheng without success and was then subjected to malicious rumors, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
This scoundrel was truly disgusting to the extreme.
No wonder An Ran was worried about him; it turned out she was empathizing.
Just then, speak of the devil, and he appeared.
He Dongcheng and Liu Yao happened to be strolling on the track field as well, and they ran into them.
When He Dongcheng saw Lin Xun and An Ran walking together, he frowned deeply.
His goddess, whom he had desperately pursued, was actually walking with Lin Xun, someone mocked by the entire school!
It was well known that college-aged men and women walking alone on the track field at night would soon be together; it was only a matter of time.
This made He Dongcheng extremely displeased.
As the student council president, the center of attention, how was he inferior to such a guy?
"An Ran, how can you be with someone like him? Don't you know he's not normal in the head?"
"Aren't you afraid he'll do something outrageous to you for no reason?"
He Dongcheng naturally didn't intend to miss the opportunity to belittle Lin Xun.
However, Liu Yao, who was standing by, was also full of jealousy when she saw this scene.
She was pursuing He Dongcheng, but she also knew very well that He Dongcheng had pursued An Ran before.
So she unconsciously regarded An Ran as a love rival.
"Dongcheng, those two are birds of a feather; one is a fool, and the other has a questionable private life. Why are you wasting your breath on them?"
Liu Yao looked at An Ran with disdain, directly bringing up the past malicious rumors about An Ran.
These words directly hit An Ran's sore spot.
She recalled a period of her darkest moments.
Just as she was about to retort, Lin Xun, standing beside her, looked at her with a slight hint of confusion.
"Class Monitor, do you feel a bit of pain in your leg?"
"Leg... pain?" An Ran's delicate face showed confusion.
"Yeah, why do I feel like I've been bitten by a dog?"
The next second, An Ran, who had been confused, suddenly burst out laughing.
And He Dongcheng and Liu Yao in front of them immediately turned green with anger.
"With a mouth so foul, you deserve to be mocked by everyone!" He Dongcheng cursed in a fit of rage.
"A rotten bitch, no wonder you two are together."
However, just as his foul words came out, he suddenly felt a gust of wind Attack from the right side of his face.
Then a fist the size of a sandbag landed directly on his face.
It knocked him off balance with one punch, sending him sprawling onto the nearby track.
Someone jogging by happened to step on his face a few times.
"Who's that? Don't you know you're not allowed to sleep on the track!"
He Dongcheng hadn't expected Lin Xun to dare to lay a hand on him directly.
He felt stars spinning in his head, dizzy and disoriented, as he barely managed to stand up.
"You... you actually dared to hit someone in school, Lin Xun!"
Liu Yao pointed at Lin Xun from the side.
Lin Xun rubbed his fist: "It seems you two were also biting people randomly on the track field."
However, He Dongcheng, whose face was now swollen like a pig's head from the punch, covered his face and started to laugh.
"Good hit! If you've got the guts, give me two more punches."
He knew very well that fighting in school could lead to disciplinary action, expulsion, or even detention.
It didn't matter if he got a little hurt, as long as Lin Xun received a severe punishment.
Lin Xun immediately smiled upon hearing this.
He had never seen such a request.
He then threw two more punches, one to the other side of He Dongcheng's face and one directly to the center, making it symmetrical.
He was truly considerate.
These two punches completely stunned He Dongcheng, who lay on the ground, rolling around.
It seemed he felt he couldn't take it anymore, but he couldn't show weakness, so He Dongcheng stubbornly said,
"If you've got the guts, give her two punches too!"
Liu Yao, who was about to help He Dongcheng up and call 120.
Unexpectedly, He Dongcheng suddenly pointed at her and said this, instantly stunning her.
She just turned her head, thinking Lin Xun shouldn't hit her; she was a woman.
But a slap came right at her face, almost twisting her neck.
Now it was Lin Xun's turn to be stunned, because it wasn't him who hit her, but An Ran.
An Ran looked at her slightly aching palm, a hint of panic on her face, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
But she felt very satisfied inside.
"If we're going to fight, we fight together! If we're going to be punished, we're punished together! We... we must resist campus bullying and cyberbullying together!"
An Ran's trembling yet adorable voice rang out, making Lin Xun unable to help but laugh.
"Don't just stand there, Class Monitor! Run while no one's around!"
Lin Xun grabbed An Ran's hand and ran towards the exit of the track field.
They didn't stop until they reached a small pavilion in the park and sat down.
An Ran smoothed her somewhat disheveled hair, blown by the wind, and recalling that slap, she still felt a lingering satisfaction.
This was the first time she had ever hit someone in her life.
Lin Xun looked down at An Ran, a ray of moonlight falling on An Ran's profile, breathtakingly beautiful and moving.
So he couldn't help but gently embrace An Ran's slightly trembling delicate body.
He only felt the slender body in his arms tremble violently for a moment, then slowly relax, as if enjoying this brief moment of reliance.
"Lin Xun, will we be expelled?"
Although that slap was very satisfying, An Ran was worried that it would affect her future affairs at school.
Hearing this, Lin Xun couldn't help but laugh.
Expelled?
The Apocalyptic Game would arrive the day after tomorrow.
Who would still care about this?
If he hadn't been worried about being arrested and imprisoned, which would make it inconvenient for him to act when the Apocalyptic Game descended, Lin Xun would have been even more ruthless.
"Class Monitor, I was the only one who acted just now. What does it have to do with you, an onlooker?"
An Ran broke free from his embrace, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
"No, I can't let you alone..."
An Ran was halfway through her sentence when Lin Xun gently covered her mouth.
Lin Xun looked up at the night sky.
"Class Monitor, look, tonight's sun is really round."
An Ran smiled, and Lin Xun also smiled.
