Chapter 27: The School Organizes a Spring Outing

Ye Chen didn't bother wasting words with him. In front of the entire class, he kicked Jiang Wenxin directly, sending him flying a meter away, almost landing on his backside.

With the enhancement of his Basic Martial Arts skill, he felt that his strength had significantly increased.

Someone bullying his girl? He didn't care if the other was a child; he'd still teach him a lesson. Some bratty kids just need a lasting memory.

"Ye Chen, you—you actually dared to kick me!"

Jiang Wenxin got up from the ground, pointed at Ye Chen again, but then seemed to think of something and retracted his hand.

Ye Chen ignored him and said coldly, "Apologize."

"You two are the embarrassing ones. I didn't say anything wrong; I'm not apologizing."

"Looks like you still want a beating." Ye Chen began cracking his knuckles, appearing ready for another fight.

Jiang Wenxin was terrified of him. A kid who could send someone flying with one kick—was he a demon?

He couldn't understand how skinny Ye Chen managed to kick him away.

He weighed 45 kilograms!

Moreover, Ye Chen didn't look like a nine-year-old at all; his eyes seemed ready to devour someone.

After some internal struggle, the brat finally apologized to Gu Nianxi.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mocked you."

With the apology, the matter was settled.

Because of this, Jiang Wenxin held a grudge against Ye Chen.

Since suffering losses last time, Meng Fei no longer dared to confront Ye Chen directly.

"Xiao Xi, don't be afraid. With Brother here, no one will dare to bully you."

Ye Chen gently patted her back.

Indeed, no one dared to bully her anymore. Even someone as big as Jiang Wenxin was kicked away by Ye Chen; let alone others.

Ye Chen was so powerful.

At noon, when going home after school, Ye Chen and Gu Nianxi saw a familiar person as soon as they exited the school gate.

It was the man they saw at Phoenix Mountain yesterday, the one who was with Teacher Yan.

This person was relatively wealthy; the car behind him would cost about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan in those days.

Being able to spend 200,000 yuan on a car meant he was quite rich.

No wonder Yan Yue'er's family strongly supported them being together.

The two saw that shortly after, Teacher Yan came out of the school gate and faced the man.

"Brother Ye Chen, it's that annoying uncle again!"

"Shh, don't say anything yet."

Ye Chen listened carefully to their conversation.

Yan Yue'er said, "Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me? It's impossible between us."

The man replied, "Yue'er, I was wrong yesterday, but I was just anxious. Don't be angry. Look, I've come to take you out for a meal and some shopping as an apology."

Yan Yue'er responded, "I'm not angry. You can go back; I have classes this afternoon."

As she spoke, she was about to leave but was grabbed by the man.

"What are you doing?" Yan Yue'er shook off his hand.

"I'm just inviting you to a meal. Why are you being so ungrateful?"

"Sorry, do I know you that well?"

Seeing them pulling and tugging, Ye Chen held Gu Nianxi's hand and walked over. "Teacher, can I borrow your phone?"

Yan Yue'er shook off the man's dirty hand and asked, "Student Ye Chen? What do you need the phone for?"

"My mom said that if something happens, I should call 110 and let the police handle it."

Hearing that he was going to call the police, the man's face changed. "You little brat, mind your own business! Who asked you to interfere? Get lost!"

Yan Yue'er actually handed the phone to Ye Chen.

This kid even knew to call 110 when there's a problem.

Seeing that Ye Chen was really about to dial, the man tried to snatch the phone, but Yan Yue'er blocked him, not letting him move forward.

"Yan Yue'er, remember this!"

He cursed some more before leaving.

After the man left, Yan Yue'er smiled at Ye Chen. "Thank you, Student Ye Chen."

"Teacher Yan, that uncle is already harassing you. You can ask the police to help you."

"You little rascal, you even know to call the police. Alright, I understand," Yan Yue'er smiled.

After she returned to the campus, Gu Nianxi said, "Brother Ye Chen, that uncle is so annoying." The little girl grumbled for a while.

"Alright, let's go home for lunch. Otherwise, we'll be late this afternoon."

"Mm, okay."

For several consecutive days, that man didn't come to the school to find Yan Yue'er.

One day, the homeroom teacher suddenly announced that the school was organizing a spring outing for all teachers and students on Saturday, to the nearby Forest Botanical Garden.

For the spring outing, students needed to pay a fee, and it was up to them whether they wanted to go; there was no compulsion.

Thinking about going on the spring outing, Gu Nianxi was especially happy. She heard that during the outing, they could sit on the grass to sketch and paint. Spring was the time when flowers bloom, and the grass is lush green.

What a perfect time for painting!

In her previous life, not only was Gu Nianxi excellent academically, but she was also outstanding in art. Aunt Lin and the others were very willing to spend money on interest classes for their daughter.

In short, she was a perfect girl!

On the way home after school, Gu Nianxi was hopping and skipping, extremely happy. She planned to share this good news with her parents when she got home.

"Brother Ye Chen, should we prepare some snacks for the spring outing?"

Ye Chen smiled helplessly; this little foodie only thought about eating.

"For the spring outing, if we pay the fee, the teachers will prepare food for us."

"Mm-hmm, okay."

"Nianxi." The two had just walked out of the school gate when someone called out to them.

It was the girl who sat next to Gu Nianxi.

Seeing the two holding hands, the girl felt a bit embarrassed and quickly walked alongside them. "Nianxi, are you going to the spring outing?"

"Yes, of course!"

At this, the girl looked a bit envious and somewhat sad. "I really want to go too, but my mom thinks it's a waste of money and definitely won't let me."

This deskmate was named Zhou Yuyan. It was said that her family wasn't well-off. For many school activities that required payment, her family wouldn't let her participate.

"Ah, you can talk to your mom about it. It'll be really fun there," Gu Nianxi said sympathetically.

Zhou Yuyan shook her head. "My mom says our family doesn't have money and won't let me go."

The spring outing required each person to pay thirty yuan.

Gu Nianxi didn't know how to respond to such a situation. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about you ask the teacher to talk to your parents tomorrow?"

"Thank you, Nianxi. It's okay if I don't go. You can draw the scenery and show it to me later," Zhou Yuyan quickly smiled. She knew that Gu Nianxi was good at drawing.

Gu Nianxi patted her chest and grinned, "Sure, leave it to me!"

"Thank you. I'm almost home, so I'll go ahead. Bye-bye."

"Mm-hmm, okay, bye-bye."

After Zhou Yuyan left, Gu Nianxi frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ye Chen, I feel that Yuyan is so pitiful."

Her mom and dad won't let her go.

Ye Chen rubbed her head and smiled, "Classmate Yuyan's family may not be well-off now, but in the future, she'll be very successful and even buy a big house in the city."
