That slap directly caused Chen Yuan's brain to atrophy.

He originally thought that women fighting was limited to pulling hair, but the resounding *'paji'* of the slap shocked him even more.

Seeing this, he quickly retreated to the side and used his body to block them, lest others see them fighting.

Although the girls from before had seen it, they had no intention of reporting them.

"What's it to you!" Li Youyou, her face reddened by the slap, covered her cheek and glared angrily, clearly unwilling to accept it.

"What's it to me? You're the one stealing my money!"

Zhou Fu knew that Chen Yuan had the moral high ground at this point, so she understood that reasoning was enough.

Well done, A'Fu.

You only need to talk about emotions and attitude when you don't have reason on your side.

If you already have the advantage, you just need to keep them pinned down.

"Ah!" Li Youyou was also anxious. How could she be willing to be beaten? She pushed Zhou Fu away and planned to pounce on her and pull her hair.

However, before she could flash over, two hands suddenly pinned her under her armpits. She was immediately suspended in the air, like a pig being slaughtered for the New Year, with nowhere to escape.

"Calm down first, don't fight."

Chen Yuan maintained a neutral stance in trying to break up the fight.

"Then you should pull her away too! Isn't this favoritism…"

Li Youyou, hugged from behind by Chen Yuan, couldn't move, so she could only have her face pinched into a pufferfish by Zhou Fu unilaterally.

You're only pulling one side while trying to break up the fight?

This is two against one!

Chen Yuan comforted Zhou Fu, "Alright, you calm down too."

"If you were framed and the whole class misunderstood you, could you be this calm?" Zhou Fu pointed at the woman she hated and questioned Chen Yuan.

And this question caused Li Youyou to heat up.

At this moment, she was held by Chen Yuan, unable to move her hands, so she couldn't even cover her face in shame. She could only accept all the accusations in this state.

[I didn't want the whole class to scold Chen Yuan for being a thief]

[I just wanted to stop them from being so close]

[I just wanted to cause Zhou Fu and Chen Yuan to break up]

[I really, didn't think that far ahead…]

"Okay, listen to me."

Putting Li Youyou down, then standing between the two, Chen Yuan tried to suppress Zhou Fu's anger as much as possible.

Because Li Youyou was completely replaced by Chen Yuan in her line of sight, her emotions gradually calmed down: "I also have some responsibility for this matter…"

"No." Chen Yuan was most afraid of and annoyed by Zhou Fu's self-reflection, so he interrupted her on the spot and corrected, "You have no responsibility. Your reaction is normal."

"But Chen Yuan, believe me, I never suspected you." Zhou Fu said seriously, "Even if the money was found in your drawer, I wouldn't."

Her certainty came from a stereotype—a good person like him couldn't possibly do such a thing.

But there was nothing wrong with using this stereotype on himself.

"You always say I'm lecherous and that's why I'm on her side."

Turning his head, looking at Li Youyou, who had started squatting against the wall, hugging her knees, he said, "But think about it, what did Zhou Fu do? And what did you do? Who is disgusting me?"

After the serious word "disgusting" was used, Li Youyou didn't dare to talk back. She kept her head down, letting him mock her.

"..." And Zhou Fu's face turned red instantly, feeling very innocent.

Why is standing on my side considered being lecherous?

"You were the one who suggested switching seats first, and I helped you switch. I didn't spread the things you said behind people's backs. Do you think, compared to Huang [BEEP], who is the one who has been bad to you?" Chen Yuan's questions made Li Youyou feel more than just shame.

Because you are a good person…

Should good people be pointed at with a gun?

"Let's go tell the teacher, bring this recording to him, let's go." Knowing that Chen Yuan was truly disappointed, Zhou Fu, who usually seemed to have such a good temper, no longer had any kindness on her face. She grabbed him and walked towards the head teacher's office.

"Going to Lao Mo like this… I'm a little scared?"

Stopping, looking at the hand Zhou Fu was holding, Chen Yuan's expression was subtle.

Are you trying to make me feed myself to the enemy?

"No, I'm sorry." Zhou Fu quickly let go of her hand and explained, "I just wanted to resolve the matter quickly, I didn't mean anything else."

She really didn't mean anything else.

There weren't even any strange thoughts when she held my hand.

You're not treating me like a guy, are you?

"I'm sorry… I was wrong… I'll transfer schools…"

Just as the two were about to walk away, Li Youyou suddenly said with a sobbing voice from behind, wiping away tears as she spoke loudly.

As she spoke, she started choking up, her face full of tears.

"Please don't say anything, I'll transfer myself…"

No matter what she did, the tears wouldn't stop, so she could only cover her face with her hands, trying to make them hear her as loudly as possible: "I was wrong… I'm sorry…"

Why did it become like this.

Why did I say that sentence to cater to those people?

If I hadn't said that sentence, would I have been able to get a piece of her bread?

Instead of being like an idiot there, only being able to chat with He Sijiao a few times when they weren't talking, messing up her relationships and having problems with Huang Ying and the others…

She clearly had good relationships with everyone for the year before high school and hadn't had any conflicts with anyone.

Li Youyou reflected deeply, but she hadn't grasped the key to the problem.

She tried to use a non-stick pan to obtain a stable role in interpersonal relationships, but unlike her own non-stick pan, she would insincerely agree in order to cater to the masses.

Even if she knew that Huang [BEEP] and the others were deliberately trying to make fun of and exclude Zhou Fu.

Li Youyou's miserable state made Zhou Fu waver.

She turned her head to look at Chen Yuan, trying to get an answer from his expression.

[Should I forgive her or not…]

"Girls communicate better, it's up to you." Chen Yuan kept his mouth shut but smiled, appearing very calm.

"Okay…" Zhou Fu nodded after thinking for a moment, "I understand."

Although Zhou Fu hit hard and was especially good at slapping, she was still a good person at heart.

Even though she had been disgusted by Li Youyou, she still felt sorry when she saw the girl crying and repenting.

Squatting in front of her, she took out a tissue and handed it to her.

Li Youyou almost thought it was another slap and subconsciously put her hand up to block.

Then she took Zhou Fu's tissue and wiped away her tears and blew her nose…

Looking at Li Youyou now, Zhou Fu thought of her past self.

That past that was hidden in her heart and would sting even if it was just played out.

She had experienced a very unpleasant middle school life.

Three years of sky, full of gloom, never cleared up.

After a while, Li Youyou finally stopped crying and slowly stood up, walking towards them. And Zhou Fu stayed where she was, watching her walk towards Chen Yuan.

Taking this step was difficult, but if she had spoken out from the beginning, it wouldn't have developed to this point.

"I'm sorry." After sincerely apologizing, Li Youyou put her hands tightly against the seams of her pants and bowed hard to Chen Yuan.

*Pa.*

However, before her head could go down, with a *paji*, Chen Yuan used his thumb to flick his middle finger, hitting her forehead with a violent flick, instantly killing Li Youyou.

The pain and impact made Li Youyou's head lean back, and the inertia made her retreat several steps, finally squatting on the ground, covering her head and whimpering.

Zhou Fu, who was stunned in place, froze, issuing a deep confusion: "Huh?"

"Forgive me or not, you tell me… Why are you flicking me?"

There must be a red mark on her forehead, Li Youyou could only use her bangs to cover it, then raised her head, looking at Chen Yuan, who had used such brute force on her, and couldn't help but want to cry again.

But this time it was crying from the pain.

"Let me tell you a story."

After organizing his words a little, Chen Yuan narrated slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a little boy who liked to get angry very much and often hurt others. And his father said, how about this, every time you get angry and hurt someone, put a nail in the fence. Over time, Zhou Yu put more and more nails in the fence, and later his father said, from now on, every day you don't get angry and don't hurt others, take a nail out of the fence. So, Zhou Yu tried to restrain his emotions, and gradually, all the nails on the fence were taken down. Finally, Chen Yuan asked him, son, even though all the nails have been taken down, what's still on the fence?"

"Isn't this an English reading from junior high school? And why did the person change to you and Zhou Yu in the back…" Zhou Fu complained leisurely.

"I know you can't let go of this matter."

Standing up, looking at Chen Yuan, she said after struggling for a long time: "It's okay if you tell the teacher, it's okay if you tell the school, I accept it, but…"

Closing her eyes tightly, a line of tears ran across her already crisscrossing tear marks, Li Youyou said choking, "I… I really didn't mean to."

Zhou Fu, who had been unable to let go of some lingering unhappiness, finally softened after seeing Li Youyou's pitiful appearance.

She wanted to say, let it go, Chen Yuan.

But before she could speak, Li Youyou turned around and ran away.

"Although it's not good to say this." After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Fu said, "Guys probably can't tell, but girls still have a little bit of this feeling… She probably has a strong feeling for you."

"I can't tell." Chen Yuan didn't see it, but he heard it. However, the things he heard were mental activities and didn't count. He said frankly, "But after flicking her just now, I feel much better."

"Then are you sure you're not angry anymore?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'll tell her that you're not angry."

"Wait." When Zhou Fu turned around, Chen Yuan stopped her, then took out a crumpled red bill from his pocket and handed it to her, "This is the money Li Youyou put in my drawer."

"This…" Zhou Fu smiled, wrapped Chen Yuan's fist, and pushed it back, "Although I know you definitely aren't short of money, haven't you just started dating a little girlfriend recently? If you're going on a date, the guy should at least treat her once."

"Why do you sound like an old woman…"

"Who's a mom… Am I that old?" After Zhou Fu protested, she returned to the topic, "Anyway, I'll lend it to you. Pay me back when you get your living expenses next month."

"Thank you, Sister Fu." Chen Yuan sincerely accepted it.

"You're welcome." Zhou Fu made an OK sign and smiled happily.

Just like that, Zhou Fu didn't participate in the club activities and went straight back to the classroom.

She was probably going to comfort Li Youyou, who was crying on the desk in the classroom.

In the eyes of the other people, they only saw her domineeringly dragging Li Youyou out, and she came back crying like a waterfall.

Chen Yuan could have discreetly called Li Youyou out, secretly extracted evidence, and then had a Japanese school development—Miss Li, you don't want others to know about you stealing money, do you?

But Chen Yuan chose the method with the most comments.

If it wasn't like this, Zhou Fu wouldn't have chased after him, becoming the third person to know this secret.

From now on, she had changed from a low-level person who needed to cling to others in interpersonal relationships to a safer, higher-level person.

"A'Fu, I can't eat your bread for nothing."

………

There were no evening self-study sessions today. Chen Yuan could leave after the club activities.

And because Zhou Fu had agreed to have dinner with her mother today, she separated from him at the school gate.

The interlude that happened today was quite funny, something that had never happened before he had superpowers.

But Chen Yuan also understood the reason—interference and backlash.

In the past, he couldn't see (lifespan), couldn't hear (heart sounds), and his eyes didn't see it, so his heart wasn't bothered. That's why he was a non-stick pan.

Everything he was experiencing now was a result of his own actions.

But he obviously didn't want to be entangled by such people…

Xia Xinyu: Our school doesn't have club activity days, we still have class as usual.

Xia Xinyu: Do you want to wait for me for forty minutes? [Swallowing Gold Ingot QQ Expression]

Wait, wait, wait, it's inhumane not to wait.

Chen Yuan was just about to type.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Chen Yuan."

It was Li Youyou. She was following behind him.

She probably asked for leave to go home because she had cried too much today and was in too bad a state.

But the reason she was following him was that she had something to say.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't turn his head, Li Youyou felt more at ease and continued to follow him, saying, "Although it sounds like I'm trying to trick you into deleting the video, I'm not lying. You can ask Huang [BEEP] and the others. I talked about you with them in the first year of high school…"

I hope Chen Yuan understands what I mean by talking about him…

"You were also there when Zhou Fu heard what I said in the toilet. So, I thought you must have talked about something afterwards, and Zhou Fu said bad things about me, so you helped her switch seats."

But today, Zhou Fu told me that she didn't scold me with Chen Yuan, and I don't know if it's true.

"I know you've never been wrong, but I just feel uncomfortable. You've only known Zhou Fu for a few days, and you're already so close… Coincidentally, I said the wrong thing again, so I was anxious."

"Today, I really didn't want everyone to think you were a thief. I just wanted you to break up, whether you believe it or not."

"I was wrong, and you can do whatever you want. I'm still not going to transfer schools… If you want to tell Lao Mo… you can."

"Okay, that's it."

After she finished speaking, Chen Yuan also arrived at the bus station.

At this time, the 737 happened to arrive at the station.

The students who lived at home got on the bus to go home one after another.

When it was Chen Yuan's turn, he stepped onto the bus, took out his phone to swipe his card, and then, just as the door was about to close, he turned his head to Li Youyou, who was standing there blankly, and said, "Okay."

"I was wrong…" Seeing Chen Yuan finally turn his head, Li Youyou said with a trembling voice and tears, "But I beg you… don't remember this… for the rest of your life."

As she spoke, she realized that she was choking up again.

She remembered that when she was in elementary school, someone had put someone else's pen in her desk, trying to frame her for stealing it. Fortunately, that girl was very good to her and fully trusted her, not doubting her even when she saw the evidence.

Although she wasn't framed, she still felt annoyed when she remembered that disgusting thing.

She could remember it so deeply even without finding the person who framed her.

Being discovered, he must remember a stupid and bad person like me for the rest of his life.

*Clang.*

The bus door closed, and the sound inside could no longer be heard. However, before the bus started, she seemed to see Chen Yuan nodding…

Forgiveness could be achieved, but the nail holes couldn't be filled.

But letting me not remember it for the rest of my life, that could be done.

Leaning against the car window, watching Li Youyou wave goodbye to him, Chen Yuan couldn't tell whether it was an apology or an attempt to please him because he couldn't hear her heart sounds.

But it didn't matter.

He was no longer a child and had long passed the violent age where he would curse your whole family if you scolded me, not even letting go of that 18-year-old dog.

Moreover, memories had limited space, and bad things didn't deserve to take up space.

Taking out his phone, looking at the message and Xia Xinyu swallowing gold ingots.
