Huo Guining completely ignored Zeng Zhilin.

After school, Chen Xi linked arms with Huo Guining, frequently glancing back at Zeng Zhilin, who was fuming like a pufferfish.

"Ning-ning, be careful these days. She's the type to seek revenge for the slightest offense," Chen Xi whispered to Huo Guining.

Huo Guining smiled without speaking. When it came to seeking revenge, Zeng Zhilin was probably just a baby compared to her.

...

The next day, Huo Guining arrived at school as usual.

Because Huo Xiaozheng needed to go to the company early in the morning, Huo Guining, like a little shadow, left with him.

So when she arrived at school, it was still early.

The campus was empty, with only a few students visible here and there.

The sun was just rising, painting half the blue sky red, resembling autumn maple leaves. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Huo Guining, who had originally planned to go straight to the classroom, had a sudden impulse and walked towards the small park next to the playground.

In winter, only the pines and cypresses stood tall in the small park, while the grass had turned yellow and withered.

This didn't affect Huo Guining's good mood.

She sat down under the wisteria trellis, opened her sketchbook, and habitually started doodling.

"Hey, did you give that thing to Fan Xingzhou or not?" An arrogant female voice rang out.

"Of course I did."

The wisteria trellis was located in a corner of the playground, with pines and cypresses growing somewhat densely. Given the cold winter weather, few students would come here at this time.

Huo Guining's position happened to be obscured by the trees, so this group of girls probably hadn't noticed her presence.

"Are you sure?" The arrogant girl's tone was cold.

"Yes, I wouldn't dare lie..."

A crisp slap broke the morning stillness, interrupting the girl's words.

"You're very bold, aren't you? Lying without even blinking. Tiantian saw you throw my letter in the trash."

Along with these words came a thin gasp of pain.

It seemed the girl who slapped had used quite a bit of force.

Huo Guining couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and walked out from behind the pines and cypresses.

"Classmate, hitting people is wrong."

"Who do you think you are?" The owner of the arrogant voice had a high ponytail, and her winter uniform skirt had been shortened considerably.

As she spoke, she lifted her chin slightly. Her not-so-clear features became even more blurred, but she exuded an extremely domineering aura.

"Just someone who can't stand by when seeing injustice," Huo Guining glanced at the bullied girl, her eyes showing a moment of surprise.

But her expression remained unchanged: "I've already recorded what just happened on video..."

Huo Guining raised her phone, calmly threatening, "It's still recording now, if you're not afraid..."

At this, Huo Guining raised a playful smile, mimicking the arrogant girl's domineering expression: "Why don't you try me?"

The arrogant girl was furious and lunged forward.
