Su Can looked over and saw two boys sitting at the long table. On the left was a young man with upright short hair, poking at his lunch box. Unfortunately, Su Can recognized this youth; he was the one who had attempted to abduct a female student from the art class back then.

On the right sat another male whose hair covered his forehead. He wasn't someone who would cause girls to scream in excitement but could be considered aesthetically pleasing, and he was also the person Su Can saw with the aforementioned youth at that time.

The one in the middle had an earring, looking pale-skinned and delicate, although there was a sense of gloominess about him. He wore a jacket featuring the bold image of Medusa, the Gorgon, which was quite striking.

This made Su Can feel slightly pressured. He knew that in the era when Versace first entered China, for such an item to appear among high school students here meant something significant; although Versace arrived late, its formidable strength still carved out a niche in this market, including within Chengdu No. 27 High School.

Moreover, the way their eyes were fixated on him had a distinctly Andy Lau feel to it.

He wasn't sure if it was due to too much exposure to Hong Kong and Taiwan...

The people in the room could clearly tell the background of these three individuals. The young man on the left is named Qian Long, reportedly from a business family with extensive connections. His father has mining factories in several provincial cities, and he himself has always had a fiery temper. In class, his chemistry grades are top-notch, and he's well-connected; even within No. 27 High School, people often call him Brother Qian or Brother Long.

The one on the right is named Liang Xiao, whose parents are officials of considerable authority in the provincial personnel department.

The middle male is Zhao Chengyan. Among the many students at No. 27 High School, there are those who know him to some extent; while the ratio of children from high-ranking officials isn't as high compared to Xiahai No. 1 High School, given the large student base at No. 27 High School, these offspring are still quite numerous. Of course, they all come from families with certain levels of official positions and thus know about Zhao Chengyan.

In terms of influence within Dusili Building [the name of the school building], these three students can rank among the top nine or so, even slightly leading others.

"Dusili Building" is the name of the teaching building where Su Can studies; it's located along the central axis with the administrative building and is also called the inner building, home to classes one through seven of grade 10. "Mingzhi Building," which Tang Wu attends, houses classes eight through fourteen and is known as the outer building, also harboring its own stars.

The so-called influential figures don't have a concrete ranking like the "East Tyrant, West Poison, South Emperor, North Beggar" in wuxia novels or the government's administrative levels from first to fifteenth grade. Their classification isn't based on physical strength or intelligence alone. Some people stand out in art festivals, track and field meets, school team competitions, chess tournaments at the Olympics, calligraphy contests, and various school activities; they naturally have a place in the public’s heart.

This kind of ranking comes from common perceptions within their grade or among students throughout the school. It's rather vague and abstract but there’s no denying that it exists.

From the perspective of all students at the school, the influence of students in internal dormitories is generally considered inferior to that of some influential figures in external dormitories.

Tang Wu and Sun Man are naturally among the most famous people in external dormitories. At least they rank in the top nine.

Due to his recent performance and articles published in the school newspaper, Su Cen has appeared frequently in public view recently. He’s beginning to make a name for himself within internal dormitories, though he's likely at the bottom of that ranking.

Among the three people before him, Qian Long is a national second-level athlete in track and field events, excelling particularly in high jump and long jump, earning significant fame both locally and provincially. He’s been involved in several school fights and received serious warnings from the administration. It's clear that he has an extremely volatile temper and no student would be foolish enough to provoke him.

Liang Xiao is the president of the Go club, a direct disciple of the provincial Go grandmaster Gu Changhao. He’s a sixth-dan Go player who won ten consecutive matches in the "Tianyuan Rising Star" tournament and was nicknamed a "dark horse" or new star in the provincial Go community. His poor scores in Chinese and English have been tolerated by his homeroom teacher.

Zhao Chengyan doesn't have any particular strengths, but he’s known for writing excellent essays; otherwise, he's average, capable of scoring high enough to enter a key university but not much higher. He has a wild personality, and his family connections are extensive. His grandfather was the former headmaster at Rongda University with alumni spread throughout the province and beyond, giving his family significant influence.

The reason Zhao Chengyan's influence is above the other two is due to his many connections and daring actions. In his first year of high school, it was said that he once had a dispute with students from another school in a bar, calling for reinforcements to surround the place. Though everyone ended up at the police station afterward, he emerged unscathed without any school disciplinary action taken against him. Such an experience is impressive indeed.

The most crucial point is that these three people are all very close friends with Li Qingyang.

Here are the three most famous figures in internal dormitories, so it’s no wonder that the boys and girls gathered around Su Cen's table look uneasy.

Some who are envious of Su Cen’s status in Tang Wu and Sun Man's eyes think darkly. If Li Qingyang incites these three to gang up on him, even ten Su Cens would be eliminated without a trace. Who knows what shocking news might come out A new transfer student bullied into silence and isolation by Zhao Chengyan, or worse—dropping out of school

The dramatic change in Li Qingyang's expression and the alternating flushes of red and pale on Sun Man’s face bring great satisfaction to their hearts.

Even Lin Guangdung was tricked away by Zhao Chengyan. It's said that now he is running some small company outside the school, in a rather pitiful state. His ex-girlfriends have seen him several times, but it was only from inside a BMW, watching silently for a while before driving off sadly.

The process of dealing with Lin Guangdung deviated from their original plan, but the end result was still the same, showcasing the strong energy of these high school students. Now it's naturally time to take care of Su Zhan.

.

Subconsciously, Sun Man glanced at Su Chen, "Don't go!" The maternal instinct in her heart flared up again. Among all the boys present, no one would stand by Su Chen’s side and protect him.

However, she was different. As the head host of the school television station with a great influence and as a top student at the school who naturally held a high status, she had the ability to do so.

To put it bluntly, never provoke a woman because you don't know how many men would come forward for her. Especially if the woman is beautiful.

Su Chen was someone she could protect because of her capability and current relationship with him. Second, to further mend ties with Tang Wu; last time due to Li Qingyang’s humiliation towards Su Zhan (a friend of Tang Wu), their relationship had become distant. Now it was the perfect opportunity for reconciliation.

There were many female friends Sun Man could ignore, some she didn't care about at all, but with Tang Wu, she yearned to befriend such an outstanding person; having a close confidante like her would make them stand out wherever they went.

This was something her vanity wanted to see.

Tang Wu glanced over at Zhao Chengyan and the three of them, frowning slightly.

"I don't need a girl to stand up for me," Su Chen smiled and looked at Li Qingyang who had an intimidating gaze before getting up and walking towards their table.

During this process, he felt that everyone behind him on the other tables were shifting sideways to stare at his back. It had a chilling effect like the river Xisui.

Sun Man bit her lip, finding Su Chen truly ungrateful.

Tang Wu knew that if these people had experienced Su Zhan in Xia Hai City like she did, they wouldn't be too worried about him.

Su Chen sat down opposite the three of them. Li Qingyang then arrived and clapped his hands, "That takes guts!" At this moment, his true nature was fully exposed.

Liang Xiao chuckled and said, "Hey, nice to see you again!" He was the type who always wore a smile but could be quite vicious. He had been the one to collide with Qian Long back then when they ran into Su Can. Li Qingyang's target turned out to be this guy. As the saying goes, enemies meet on narrow paths.

"Li Qingyang is my brother. At that time, you insulted and humiliated him in front of teachers at school, damaging his reputation. People like you are rare in our school. Did you think you were too arrogant in your previous schools Now you come to No. 27 High School and cause trouble" Zhao Chengyan tapped the table with his knuckles. "You should know that Ling Guangdong, who provoked my brother, has been fired by the principal. He's out of a job! That simple! Because he offended my brother."

Qian Long, who was unusually violent during this process, had been quietly eating his lunch box meal. Suddenly, he threw it onto the table, sending grains flying everywhere. After wiping his mouth, he spat out a piece of red-skinned chili pepper into the lunch box.

Zhao Chengyan pointed at Qian Long with a smile. "He can't finish eating all this, so don’t waste it. You continue to eat from this lunch box and we’ll consider it settled!"

The people around the table felt like they were going to vomit just hearing about Zhao Chengyan's actions. They didn't believe how sinister he could be until now.

Many found him extremely overbearing, but dared not voice their anger.

Su Can responded with an "Oh" while everyone in the crowd felt anxious. He then picked up his lunch box and covered it before getting up. Under everyone's silent gaze, he walked to the trash can and threw the lunch box inside with a loud metallic clang.

Turning back, as he passed by Qian Long’s table where several people were staring blankly, Su Can smiled and said, "Don't do this next time; it's very wasteful."

Ignoring us. This is outright ignoring us!

Zhao Chengyan felt somewhat embarrassed in front of Sun Man, Tang Wu, and the crowd watching them, but Su Can’s actions were just right—neither arrogant nor domineering. If they had charged over to fight him, it would have been unbecoming behavior that tomorrow's public opinion wouldn’t look favorably upon.

It was too late to fulfill his promise; the day wasn't even over yet. Today’s update is here, and tomorrow will be even better.
