Day by day passed, and in the blink of an eye, another week went by.

Su Zelin skillfully navigated between both girls and boys every day, becoming increasingly popular within the class.

Almost everyone liked him, except for Pei Wenzhe.

A couple of days ago, our class teacher Yao Hui hinted that class officer elections would be held soon.

Among the girls, the one with the highest support was Luo Xi, and among the boys, it was Su Zelin.

Although Pei Wenzhe was desperately trying to win people's favor, his eloquence and tactics were far inferior to Su Zelin's; the two were simply not in the same league.

Pei Wenzhe knew very well that if things continued this way, on the day of the class officer election, as long as Su Zelin decided to run, the two class leaders would almost certainly be chosen between him and Luo Xi, with no doubt, it would just be a matter of who would be the main leader and who the deputy; he had essentially no chance.

However, he couldn't change this situation, helpless in face of Su Zelin's overwhelming popularity, he could only hope this formidable opponent had no interest in running for class officer, because Zelin seemed like someone who just played along with life and might not necessarily want to run.

Noon arrived.

Su Zelin, carrying a bowl of food, returned to the boys' dormitory with a few from his dorm, and as they passed Room 305, they heard arguing from inside, with quite a few people gathered at the door watching.

Out of curiosity, everyone stopped and, through the crowd, they saw not only the boys from Room 305, but also a few unexpected guests.

They seemed to be upperclassmen because freshmen typically looked quite young, and these upperclassmen appeared noticeably more seasoned.

All of them were tall and big, visibly muscular on the neck and arms, evidently athletes who exercised frequently.

One of the athletes, towering over them, sneered condescendingly at a boy from Room 305, "Listen, kid, stay away from Pan Yun, or I'll make you pay!"

The threatened boy, named Liu Yanbin, faced the imposing upperclassman with a bit of fear but still stood firm, "Why should I!"

"Why?" the athlete snorted, "Because I started pursuing Pan Yun first, and you dare to snatch her from me? Who do you think you are!"

"Even though you were the first to pursue her, so what? The senior didn't agree to be with you!"

Liu Yanbin mustered his courage and spoke loudly.

Seeing this scene, Su Zelin suddenly recalled an incident from his past life.

It seemed that about half a month after the school started, around this time, there was an incident of upperclassmen bullying in their class, and the victim was Room 305's Liu Yanbin.

The cause was during freshman reception, a sophomore senior named Pan Yun took a liking to a boy in their class.

Liu Yanbin also found this senior particularly nice, both had a bit of a thing going, you could say it was love at first sight.

Less than a month after school started, they began dating, getting along very well.

However, Pan Yun had a pursuer, a boy from the same class, member of the school basketball team, named Wei Haijie.

Since freshman year, Wei Haijie had been pursuing Pan Yun, but she didn't accept and turned him down many times gently; yet Wei Haijie was still not giving up.

Upon discovering that his dream girl had a tendency of falling in love with a freshman, he was consumed with jealousy and directly brought a few teammates from the school team to intimidate, threatening Liu Yanbin to stay away from that senior.

Initially, Liu Yanbin didn't succumb; later it was heard he was repeatedly troubled by that guy, even once got beaten off-campus, and had no choice but to separate from the senior he liked.

Originally a cheerful, outgoing big boy, after experiencing this campus bullying, he started becoming silent, depressed, withdrawn, with a tendency of self-abandonment; during the second semester of his freshman year, he even dropped out.

This incident was a turning point in his fate, one could even say it changed Liu Yanbin's life.

"Exactly, it's mutual between Yanbin and the senior, what's it to you!"

"Can't get her yourself, and resort to such despicable tactics, what kind of man is that!"

"Get lost, there's no place for your nonsense here!"

"..."

The majority of Room 305 stood their ground, all standing up for Liu Yanbin, except for Pei Wenzhe, who remained silent.

Many school athletes were bullies, daring to bring people to cause trouble aggressively; it was obvious they weren't to be trifled with, and being a refined egoist, he decided it was wise not to draw trouble onto himself.

"Everyone shut up!"

A few athletes who came with Wei Haijie spoke up, pointing their fingers at the roommates standing up for Liu Yanbin, emphatically saying, "Anyone who dares to jabberingly meddle, I'll teach them a lesson, no more place for you here at the college!"

The members of the school basketball team had long been accustomed to being tyrannical on campus, fierce and evil, and being a small clique of accomplices, even Liu Yanbin's roommates were scared and didn't dare to speak further.

At this point, it was Liu Yanbin, all alone, facing this pack of wolves; yet he gritted his teeth and remained firm, "Dream on, I won't leave the senior!"

"Alright, kid, didn't think you had some backbone, but I'm curious to see, how long can you keep it up!"

He picked up a cup of water next to the computer desk and poured it over Liu Yanbin's head.

"You…"

After all, being hot-blooded youths, how could they endure such humiliation, Liu Yanbin was furious on the spot, swinging a punch at Wei Haijie.

However, at 5'7" and 121 lbs, how could he be a match for Wei Haijie, standing 5'11", from the basketball team.

Moreover, Wei Haijie was waiting for him to make a move; although they had indeed started the trouble, once Liu Yanbin swung first, the nature changed, if things blew up, he could argue it was self-defense, which was why he used provocations deliberately.

At this era, many second-tier universities were quite lax in discipline management; minor scuffles between students were often left to resolve themselves, as long as it didn't escalate into something serious, that plenty of second-tier schools saw fights and campus bullying.

With just a light grab, Wei Haijie easily captured Liu Yanbin's fist eagle-claw style, twisted his arm behind his back, pressed him onto the bed, and spat on him, "Kid, don't you weigh yourself, dare to make a move against me, still feeling tough now, huh?"

After all, being his classmates, not to mention the roommates who were on good terms with Liu Yanbin, many people outside the door were seeing red, gripping a fury inside them.

If someone dared to step up first, they were ready to go all out, at the worst, engage in a group brawl with these athletes; after all, it was in their class' territory, and there were more of them.

However, the tallest tree catches the wind.

In this situation, anyone leading the charge might be targeted by a few sporty guys and land themselves in big trouble, so they all hesitated.

Just then, someone swaggered in, "Yo, your dorm's pretty lively, isn't it, with all these 'guests'!"

All the guys were taken aback, then they saw it was Su Zelin from 302.

Their spirits lifted.

Even though they didn't know Su Zelin well, his popularity among the slackers was high.

"Who the hell are you?"

Upon seeing Su Zelin, Wei Haijie frowned, eyeing him up and down.

This guy was also quite tall, no less than himself, and had a hint of a roguish aura. His tone sounded like a seasoned punk, different from the others.

Wei Haijie, being one of the same ilk, picked up on this.

"Do me a favor, let go of my classmate, and then get the hell out of here!"

Su Zelin spoke with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, yet his words were clear, and the cigarette didn't fall. It was his unique skill that wasn't easy for others to imitate.

Wei Haijie's face changed instantly.

"Kid, what's your name?"

His tone was already laced with intimidation.

The underlying message was, if you've got the guts, give your name, you'll have a hard time later.

"Su Zelin!"

The slacker remained unfazed.

He had been fighting since he was a kid, was a bad student himself, and the idea of being intimidated by this sporty guy was laughable to him.

"I've given you my name, now can you leave?"

Su Zelin said calmly.

"Zelin said it well, tell them to get lost!"

"Who do they think they are, so arrogant!"

"Being on the school basketball team makes you so great, huh? Bullying too much!"

"..."

With Su Zelin stepping forward, everyone seemed to find their backbone and voiced their support, especially those from 302.

After all, Su Zelin was their roommate, and even if he stood up for people from other dorms, they couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Pushy bastard, stupid jerk dares to act up, having ten dicks damages the city's image, dumb youth, fuck you!"

Zeng Kaiping cursed particularly fiercely, but he did it in Cantonese anyway, so the other side wouldn't understand, and he achieved his goal of providing backup.

The situation was initially under control, but who knew a wild card like Su Zelin would mess things up. Naturally, Wei Haijie was furious, glaring at Su Zelin, clenching his fists.

"Haijie!"

A team member from the school team walked over and patted his shoulder.

The other side's morale was up with a leader, and if the conflict escalated, it could end up in a group fight.

No matter how strong they were, two fists couldn't fend off many hands.

Moreover, personal skirmishes might be overlooked by the administration, but group fights were a severe issue that the administration would definitely step in for, making it hard to resolve.

They could act high and mighty on campus, but they still had to adhere to unspoken rules and not cross the line.

Fearing Wei Haijie's impulsiveness, his companion had to step in and remind him.

"Okay, you've got guts!"

Wei Haijie swallowed his anger forcefully, "I'll remember this name, kid, watch yourself when you walk, best not to leave the finance school!"

After letting go of Liu Yanbin and as they were about to leave with a few companions, Su Zelin spoke again, "Wait up!"

"Forget 'later', the school's so big, who knows when I'd run into you guys. I'm not a patient guy, and anyway, you still owe for throwing water over my classmate. I'm not one for holding grudges, so why not settle it today!"

Saying this, Su Zelin blew a puff of smoke towards Wei Haijie's face, "Tonight at ten, I'll be waiting for you at the soccer field!"

At this moment, the slacker looked incredibly cool and badass, with the aura of a big brother.

You dare threaten me?

When I was fighting, you didn't even know where you were!

Awesome!

All the guys felt incredibly satisfied.

Especially the young guys who already admired Su Zelin greatly, they felt like they were about to ignite.
