Part 2
Liu Jiafan had been reported to the counselor by Yu Li, and the counselor had given him a serious warning, even specifically holding a class meeting to hint that the other students shouldn't spread rumors and cause trouble that would affect the school's atmosphere.
Therefore, for the past three years, Liu Jiafan had behaved a bit more, only daring to make sarcastic remarks behind his back.
Now hearing Yu Li say this, Liu Jiafan was obviously reminded of that incident.
He hesitated slightly, then said disdainfully, "I just called you a dog, I didn't bully you. Even if you go report it to the counselor again, without evidence, what can she say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside.
Yu Li paled, realizing it was Yan Sui.
Yan Sui stood in front of Liu Jiafan and asked, "Say that again, go on."
Liu Jiafan and the other two were both startled, completely not expecting Yan Sui to appear in the laundry room.
One of the students immediately lost his nerve, weakly saying, "Yan Sui, I didn't say anything bad to Yu Li."
Liu Jiafan glared at that student, "You may not have said anything to Yu Li, but didn't you just say that Yan Sui takes the postgraduate exam just to experience life?"
The student paused, opening his mouth but not saying anything, then quickly ran away.
The other person seeing this also hurriedly fled.
"You guys!" Liu Jiafan was furious, but was trapped by Yan Sui and couldn't leave.
Yan Sui coldly said, "I'll settle the matter of what they said about me later, but the thing about you insulting Yu Li, that can't be let go."
Liu Jiafan clenched his fists, looking back and forth between Yan Sui and Yu Li.
He raised a finger and pointed it at Yan Sui's nose, simply throwing caution to the wind and cursing, "So what if I insulted him? I'm cursing you too, Yan Sui, what are you capable of? It's just because you have a capable older brother, right?"
"If you didn't have your brother, what would you be worth? Taking the postgraduate exam is just fishing and drying nets for three days, no wonder your brother doesn't let you join the company. With your kind of ability, you need your brother to wipe your ass for everything!"
He got more and more agitated, even pushing Yan Sui.
Yan Sui could no longer hold back, stepping forward and grabbing Liu Jiafan's collar.
"Liu Jiafan, I've tolerated you for a long time. Do you think I don't know about the things you've been saying behind my back?"
He finished speaking and then punched Liu Jiafan in the face.
Liu Jiafan didn't back down, immediately retaliating with a punch of his own.
Yu Li was horrified, the basin in his hands falling to the ground.
"Yan Sui! Liu Jiafan! This is in the dormitory, don't fight!" He hurried forward, trying to pull Yan Sui back, and also trying to block Liu Jiafan, but was pushed away by the two of them.
Yu Li hit the wall, his left arm feeling a bit numb.
He gritted his teeth, stepping forward to grab Yan Sui's arm, pulling him back, and at the same time dodging Liu Jiafan's punch.
"Calm down! Do you want the counselor to come over late at night?"
Yan Sui's movement to rush forward paused.
Liu Jiafan also stopped his actions.
After a moment, Yan Sui sneered, "So what if the counselor comes? He struck first!"
Liu Jiafan heard this and immediately wanted to step forward again, "I just pushed you a little, you were the one who hit me first!"
Seeing the two of them about to fight again, Yu Li's eyes were anxious, and he could only tightly hold onto Yan Sui, standing in front of him.
At this moment, a furious shout came from outside the laundry room, "Enough!"
The three of them were startled, turning their heads to see their department's counselor.
The counselor was obviously running all the way here, still panting, "Well, you two, you're already in your senior year and still can't behave, fighting in the dormitory building!"
"Do you want to get a serious demerit before graduation?!"
Yan Sui was not satisfied, "Counselor, he started insulting us first..."
The counselor cut him off, "Don't talk, I already called your brother on the way here, he'll be here soon!"
Then she looked at Liu Jiafan, "I've warned you several times already, not to keep arranging things against others!"
Liu Jiafan snorted, turning his head away.
The counselor then called out to the two students behind her, "Come, tell me in detail what happened tonight."
Those two students were the ones who had been discussing with Liu Jiafan earlier.
The two of them quickly summarized what had happened, emphasizing, "Counselor, the two of us really didn't insult anyone, and we didn't participate in the fight either."
"Yes, yes, we didn't fight."
The counselor finally looked at Yu Li, asking, "Is the process as they described?"
Yu Li pressed his lips together and nodded slightly.
The counselor pinched the bridge of her nose, "Alright, Yan Sui, Liu Jiafan, come with me to the office."
Yan Sui was the first to walk out of the laundry room.
Liu Jiafan hesitated for a while before following.
Since the counselor had come, that meant there was no more business for Yu Li.
But Yu Li thought about it and still followed the group.
...
Outside the counselor's office, Yu Li nervously rubbed his left arm.
Footsteps approached, and he turned to see Yan Shiting and Butler He coming up the stairs.
When Butler He saw him, he paused slightly.
Yan Shiting just glanced at Yu Li, then told Butler He to wait outside with him, knocking on the door and going into the office.
Butler He looked at the bruise on Yu Li's left arm and asked, "Little Yu, did you get into a fight too?"
Yu Li shook his head, "No."
He hesitated, then said, "Uncle He, will Yan Sui and the others get a demerit?"
Butler He comforted, "I don't think so, we'll just have to wait and see."
Yu Li nodded, not saying anything else.
A few minutes later, the office door opened, and only Liu Jiafan came out.
He glanced at Yu Li and quickly ran away.
It was another twenty minutes before Yan Sui and the others finally came out.
Yan Sui walked with his head down to Butler He's side.
Yan Shiting was a step behind, shaking the counselor's hand, "Thank you for the trouble."
The counselor said, "You're welcome, Master Yan, it's not a big deal. The two students have admitted their mistakes and written their reflections, so there's no problem now."
Yan Shiting nodded, turning to look at Yan Sui, "Let's go."
The four of them walked down the stairs in silence.
It was already completely dark outside, with only a few streetlights around the academic buildings.
Walking on the small path towards the school gate, Butler He said, "Young Master, you really scared us today."
"How did you end up getting into a fight? Are you hurt?"
He spoke in a coaxing tone, making Yan Sui a little uncomfortable, "Uncle He, I'm fine."
"That person...he said some bad things, I didn't want to hear them, so I got into a fight with him," Yan Sui said.
Butler He paused, "Oh? What did he say that was so bad?"
The one walking in front, Yan Shiting, stopped and turned around, "No matter what he said, you shouldn't have acted impulsively."
Yan Sui's footsteps faltered, looking at Yan Shiting.
"But he said I take the postgraduate exam just like fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and that I always have you wiping my ass for me."
Yan Shiting furrowed his brow slightly. "Hitting someone doesn't prove your ability. You hit him, and I came, isn't that just proving what they said?"
Yan Sui's brow furrowed deeply, his gaze confused as he asked, "So you really think I'm always causing you trouble? You also think I can't do anything right? Hosting the party, the incident that happened at the party. Wanting to take the postgraduate exam, but giving up halfway. "
"Yes, I'm just a good-for-nothing."
Yan Shiting's lips tightened, and he stepped forward, "Yan Sui, I didn't mean..."
Yan Sui's body was trembling, and he said in a somewhat distraught way, "But why do you always just tell me not to be impulsive, and make me analyze things? Do you know why I want to take the postgraduate exam? Do you know how I feel when they say I'm not as good as you!"
He finished shouting, and the surroundings fell silent.
Yu Li stared wide-eyed, looking at Yan Sui in disbelief.
He murmured, "Yan Sui..."
After a while, Yan Sui seemed to have calmed down.
He looked at the serious-faced Yan Shiting, clenched his fists, and his lips trembled, but in the end he didn't say anything, just turning around and running away.
Eesh. Constantly second best and probably knows his brother was crushing on his besty. I feel delicious angst continuing
