"Are you looking for Su Chengcheng?"
Zhao Yan asked.
Ailiya was taken aback by this, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked at Zhao Yan. After a moment, she snapped, "I'm looking for Su Cheng, not some ghost named Su Chengcheng!"
"I know that, we have Su Chengcheng, Su Cheng, and Su Xiaocheng in our class. Are you looking for Su Chengcheng?"
Zhao Yan asked with a mischievous smile.
"Su Cheng! I'm looking for the one in the middle you just mentioned."
"Alright, I got it."
Zhao Yan nodded in realization, and Ailiya relaxed slightly. But then her brow furrowed as Zhao Yan turned and called out, "Su Chengcheng, there's a senior looking for you!"
"Oh, senior, do you need something from me?"
A black-haired girl suddenly raised her hand beside them, smiling at Ailiya.
Suddenly, an eerie ripple spread through the air.
Ailiya's face darkened as she realized she was being toyed with.
Cornelia beside her also showed signs of displeasure.
After all, openly playing tricks on someone was indeed a bit too much.
The rest of the class remained silent, coldly observing the scene.
The class monitor glanced at the two sides facing off and sighed, not intending to mediate.
After all, it was clear that Ailiya was here to cause trouble for Su Cheng, and the monitor knew Ailiya's temper. She was notorious for her fiery temper and rarely considered the consequences of her actions. If Su Cheng really angered her, she would definitely seek revenge.
Even if they involved the Student Council and Discipline Committee Member now, it wouldn't stop future private retaliation.
Su Cheng was a commoner, and just one successful retaliation from her would ruin his entire future.
The only way now was to unite the class to make her back down.
Ailiya took a deep breath, suppressing her anger as she ground her teeth and said, "I'm saying this for the last time, I'm looking for Su Cheng!"
"Oh."
Zhao Yan replied indifferently, her face still wearing a carefree smile, then turned and called out, "Su Xiaocheng, someone's looking for you."
"Oh, senior, are you looking for me again?"
The black-haired girl stood up again, extending her hand with a smile, "My name is Su Xiaocheng, nice to meet you."
"I remember your name is Xuan Ying, right?"
Ailiya's face was full of anger; she could no longer hold back.
"No, my name is Su Xiaocheng."
Xuan Ying said with a smile, looking innocent and carefree.
"Then why did you just call yourself Su Chengcheng?!"
Ailiya shouted, her pretty face flushed red with anger, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What's wrong with calling myself Su Chengcheng? Senior, don't get so excited, it's just my nickname~"
Xuan Ying continued to feign innocence, even blinking cutely.
"You, you..."
Ailiya was shaking with anger, unable to believe how malicious the other person was, almost fuming. Finally, she couldn't hold back and was about to charge forward.
"Ailiya, don't do this!"
Fortunately, Cornelia quickly pulled Ailiya back.
"It's fine to bluff and act tough, but please don't overstep your bounds. Otherwise, you'll end up like you are now, losing face."
Zhao Yan crossed her arms and snorted coldly, not flinching as she spoke to Ailiya, "Our students in Class 2 are not to be bullied at will. So, please leave now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Her words immediately rallied the entire class, bringing everyone onto the same side. Whether they wanted to protect Su Cheng or were originally indifferent, everyone now stepped forward, looking at Ailiya with disgust, some boys even clenching their fists, sparks of anger in their eyes, eager to drive this woman away.
If she could target Su Cheng today, who's to say she wouldn't bully someone else tomorrow?
Zhao Yan's words turned the situation into a matter of class interest.
"Senior, please return. Whatever Su Cheng did to you, please handle it through the proper school procedures. Otherwise, we will file a complaint against you at the board meeting, making you bear the consequences of violating school rules."
A boy suddenly spoke up, his voice low but filled with impatience.
"Threatening me? Is this the extent of your class's ability?"
Ailiya was trembling with anger, her face flushed red. She hadn't expected things to escalate like this, it was beyond her expectations.
"We're just doing our duty. The school doesn't allow anyone to bully others using their power, especially when you're clearly here to cause trouble for one of our students!"
Another boy retorted without backing down.
The voices of the two boys echoed through the class, instantly making the atmosphere tense.
Ailiya, hearing the accusations from everyone, also turned pale with anger, her heart burning with fury. She had never been so humiliated, but she knew that continuing like this would only bring more shame.
"Ailiya, let's go."
Cornelia tugged at Ailiya's sleeve, whispering in a low voice.
"I will not let this go!"
Ailiya glared at the class, leaving these words behind before quickly leaving with Cornelia.
Seeing them leave, Zhao Yan finally relaxed and patted her chest, "I was so scared, I thought she was going to jump at me and bite me."
"Really?"
"Hahaha, Yan, you're too funny. If she really did jump at you, that scene would be..."
"To actually drive Ailiya away, who would dare to cause trouble in our class from now on?"
"Yan, you're so cool!"
"Yan, you're amazing, I really want to kiss you."
"No, this is the result of everyone working together to protect our class interests!"
Zhao Yan shook her head, looking serious.
"Yes, it's a great victory for our class!"
Everyone agreed sincerely.
"Alright, now that there are no outsiders."
Zhao Yan looked around and said.
"Yan, just say what you want to say."
"Go ahead and say it."
Everyone responded in unison.
Zhao Yan nodded slightly, then cleared her throat and said, "You've all heard, she's still planning to retaliate against Su Cheng, so we must stop her actions. Otherwise, Su Cheng's troubles will only get worse. So I suggest we all stay united, help each other, and stand together against our enemies. This is not only helping Su Cheng but also ourselves!"
"No problem!"
"Absolutely!"
"Great!!!"
"..."
Zhao Yan's words immediately stirred up the class's enthusiasm, everyone responding with fervor.
"I also agree with Zhao's point, but I think Su Cheng might not need our help next week."
The class monitor spoke up, her words subtle but clear to everyone present.
That meant Su Cheng would join the Archery Club next Monday, and probably no one would dare to cause trouble for him after that. After all, Ji Qingyi of the Archery Society was there, and causing trouble for him would be like slapping Ji Qingyi in the face.
Unless Ailiya didn't want to stay in school anymore.
