Meanwhile…
Huo Yao glanced at these stupid, pretentious kids and shook her head with disinterest. Suddenly, she hooked her index finger at Lu Ziming and said, “Come over here.”
Lu Ziming immediately recalled how Huo Yao had almost dislocated his wrist in the hospital after singling him out that day. He subconsciously took a step back.
“Coward,” said Huo Yao indifferently.
Before Lu Ziming could compose himself, Huo Yao had already darted in front of him and pinched his ear.
“Such bad behavior at this young age. You cut classes, besiege students, and bully the weak. Hmm? Is this what the Lu family has been teaching you?”
Since Huo Yao had yanked Lu Ziming’s ear hard, he felt as though his ear was going to fall off. It hurt so much that he trembled, and all his arrogance dissipated.
“AHHHH. THAT HURTS! God! Let me go!” screamed Lu Ziming.
But it was futile, so he roared at the people beside him. “Hurry up and pull this insane girl away from me!”
The boys standing next to him were dumbstruck. They wanted to pull Huo Yao’s hand away but when they caught her expressionless and unyielding face, they froze instantly. Subconsciously, they did not dare go near her.
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She pulled Lu Ziming’s ear harder and yanked him closer before slapping him on the back of his head. In a stern voice, she said, “How dare you continue to be a bully?”
Lu Ziming’s head kept ringing from the blow. He was stunned. He instinctively covered his head and didn’t dare to retaliate.
Huo Yao’s lips curved into a cold smile and she said, “Since your parents didn’t teach you any manners, allow me.”
She ruthlessly slapped him repeatedly.
Lu Ziming had never gotten beaten in his life. His ears were in pain, and his head felt dizzy from the slaps. He could no longer go on acting like an arrogant, entitled boy and said, “Stop! I’m sorry. I’m sorry okay?”
Huo Yao paused and narrowed her eyes. She stared at him and asked in a cold voice. “What are you sorry for?”
Lu Ziming glanced at her cautiously. Despite his fury, he did not dare blow up. He could only bite his lower lip and replied in a stifled tone. “I shouldn’t have made trouble for you. I shouldn’t have acted like a bully.”
If Lu Ziming knew that this scaredy-cat had become so fierce, he would never have come looking for her.
Huo Yao scoffed and replied with disdain brimming from her eyes. “It seems that you are not only a coward but a dumbass too.”
Lu Ziming instantly raised his head to retort. But he could not do so since Huo Yao still had a hand on his ear. He shouted morosely. “I’m not dumb!”
“If you aren’t dumb, why did you cut classes and bring a bunch of goons to get even with me? If you aren’t dumb, how did you end up defeated? If you aren’t dumb, why would you keep bullying people like an entitled brat?”
Although Lu Ziming’s face flushed crimson red, he was incapable of refuting anything that she said.
“You should count your lucky stars that you aren’t my little brother,” sneered Huo Yao as she let go of his ear.
If he were her little brother, she probably would have given him a piece of her mind eons ago.
Huo Yao shook her head. She removed a wet tissue from her bag and unhurriedly wiped each finger. She looked at Lu Ziming, who had been slapped dumbstruck, and said coldly, “Don’t let me see you again, or else I will beat you up every single time.”
With that, Huo Yao left.
