Chapter 52 Extra Two

Chapter 52: Side Story 2

◎Throwing Down◎

She... she actually dared to hit Master Qi!

The onlookers were struck dumb, never imagining that someone would dare to mess with the biggest bully in school. This student must be a new transfer!!!

The burning pain on his face seemed to remind Qi Yuan of what had just happened. He clenched his fist, glaring daggers at the person before him. "I don't hit women. Before I make an exception, you'd better get lost."

Su Mi raised her hand and slapped him again with a loud "smack." "What are you barking about?"

"Mimi..." Zuo Yue quickly stepped forward to grab her arm.

Although she was also a new transfer, she had heard that Qi Yuan was the undisputed bully of No. 2 High School. Everyone gave him a wide berth, and his family was wealthy. It was better for them to just endure it.

"You're dead—" Qi Yuan tightened his fist, ready to smash it into her face.

Zuo Yue immediately shielded Su Mi, mustering her courage to glare at him. "You're a man, yet you have the nerve to hit a girl? I think you're... just scum of the earth."

Qi Yuan's fist abruptly stopped mid-air. Looking at Zuo Yue's face, he ultimately held back, though the surging rage in his heart continued to climb.

He practically spat the words through gritted teeth. "Before I change my mind, get lost!"

Su Mi frowned and raised her hand, giving him another loud slap. "Bark for me again?"

Look at this dumbass, acting all high and mighty!

This time, Qi Yuan could no longer restrain himself. He took a swing at her. However, before his fist could land on Su Mi, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. Immediately after, his left arm was swiftly grabbed, and a fist struck his nose bridge faster than he could blink.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

Zhou Huai, standing nearby, anxiously rushed forward to break up the fight. But as soon as he got close, he was kicked, leaving him clutching his stomach, helplessly watching his buddy get pinned to the ground and beaten.

"What are you yapping about? Did your mom give you three legs just so you could bully people?"

Su Mi kicked him in the shoulder again. He was already on the ground, two streaks of bright red blood seeping from under his tall nose bridge, looking particularly jarring on his handsome face.

"You motherf—" Qi Yuan directly threw his jacket at her to disrupt her vision.

Su Mi sidestepped slightly, then caught the incoming fist. Following that, she lifted her foot and kicked him to the ground again, her face full of disdain. "All day long, 'your mom, your mom.' If you don't have a mom, just say so. I'd be happy to discipline you, you unfilial son, on her behalf!"

As she spoke, she crouched down and punched him hard in the face.

The onlookers stared, their jaws on the floor, their shock comparable to witnessing Mars colliding with Earth. They had never imagined they would see such a sight.

Master Qi... was actually beaten?

And he couldn't fight back at all?

Everyone knew Master Qi was undefeated in No. 2 High School. He had once beaten down over a dozen guys from No. 1 High School who surrounded him. But now, he was utterly defenseless against a female classmate?

This was insane! Was this female classmate some undercover cop on a mission?

"Stop... stop hitting him. You'll mess up his face for good," Zhou Huai couldn't help but speak up for his buddy.

Su Mi shot him a sidelong glance. "Remember to keep him on a leash. If he barks nonsense again next time, see if I don't break your legs!"

Zhou Huai hadn't expected to be included in the threat, and his stomach began to ache faintly again.

Since the milk tea was spilled, Su Mi went back into the shop and ordered two more cups.

The clerk, who had watched the entire spectacle, flusteredly made two cups of bubble tea for this formidable young lady.

More and more people gathered outside. By now, Qi Yuan had been helped up. His bruised and swollen face was barely recognizable, but he still clenched his fist unwillingly, as if he couldn't comprehend what had just happened. How could he have been beaten like this? It was simply impossible.

"Let's go, let's go. A real man doesn't fight with women," Zhou Huai quickly dragged his brother away. Discretion is the better part of valor. Today, they had clearly met their match. They could always seek revenge later.

Su Mi couldn't even be bothered to glance at the two of them. Under the gaze of various shocked onlookers, she led Zuo Yue away.

After walking a good distance, Zuo Yue finally wrapped her head around what happened. Even though she was right there, she didn't know how it all unfolded or how Su Mi managed to beat Qi Yuan to the ground. She only saw Su Mi kick him once, and he fell, unable to get up. When did Su Mi's strength become so great?

"Stay away from that kind of trash in the future," Su Mi added another warning, still concerned.

Hearing this, Zuo Yue quickly nodded, taking a sip of milk tea to calm her nerves.

"But you beat him up like that. Won't he tell the teacher?" Worry appeared on her face.

Su Mi glanced at her sideways. "So what? I'm not the one who should be ashamed."

Anyone else might, but given the male lead's character, how could he possibly run to the teacher after losing a fight? That would be rubbing his reputation as the school bully in the dirt.

Besides, is he the only one allowed to bully others? Look at how spoiled this idiot is, he can't even tell which way is up anymore.

"Mimi, you're amazing. How come I don't have that much strength even after riding my bike for so long?" Zuo Yue asked, full of confusion, as they boarded the bus.

Su Mi found a seat and sat down, then leaned closer and lowered her voice. "My grandpa practiced martial arts. I learned a bit from him. If you hadn't been harassed by them, I wouldn't have fought, of course."

Hearing this, Zuo Yue's face was instantly filled with gratitude. So that was it. She had wondered why Su Mi, usually so quiet and gentle, would resort to violence. It turned out she did it for her sake.

"Thank you, Su Mi. We have to go to the same college, so we can be together forever and ever!" Zuo Yue said earnestly, hugging Su Mi's arm and resting her head on her shoulder.

Su Mi smiled and took a sip of her milk tea. "Then I'll have to work harder. I can't let you lower your standards and go to an ordinary university with me."

Her past self's grades were decent, but there was still a gap from the top-tier universities. Zuo Yue's grades were definitely sufficient. Besides, although she had inherited the memories, exams were practically asking for her life.

"System, add my 50 Luck Points to the Memory Talent attribute."

"Conversion successful! Host's current Memory Talent attribute: 90!"

Hearing the cold, mechanical voice in her mind, Su Mi roughly guessed that the extra 40 points were probably the original host's inherent talent value. With only a 40 talent value, she had managed to achieve such good grades, which showed her incredible daily diligence.

Anyway, increasing memory would make everything more efficient. This was necessary.

In an instant, she suddenly felt the content the teacher taught that afternoon appear vividly in her mind, as clear and simple as one plus one equals two.

"It's okay. We can aim for the same city. Besides, you just have one weak subject. Let's work together to improve your math. Then we can definitely get into the same university," Zuo Yue said thoughtfully.

Su Mi didn't say anything more. When the bus stopped at the library, she and her friend went in to study.

Sometimes, it really wasn't surprising that some people found studying as easy as eating. After increasing her talent value, just glancing over the material once made her feel like it was all etched in her brain. She truly experienced what it meant to have a photographic memory.

Not everyone starts from the same point. Those with poor natural talent for studying can only put in more effort than others. Some people can cram right before an exam and still get good grades.

Her past self belonged to the former type, getting up before dawn every day to do practice papers and memorize key points. Even then, she could only rank in the top twenty in her grade. It just showed that everyone's talents lie in different areas, but most people never find their own area of expertise in their lifetime.

After eating pizza for dinner and returning to her rented room, she reviewed her books again. It was incredibly smooth. She didn't need to struggle to memorize; the information was already etched in her mind.

When doing practice problems, the knowledge surfaced on its own. However, for subjects requiring flexible application, like math or language arts which demands good writing skills, she still needed to use her brain. But the difficulty was undoubtedly much lower than before.

Having never been a top student before, she finally got to experience the thrill of everything clicking perfectly into place.

After two days of review, there happened to be a monthly exam on Monday. She breezed through the entire test paper without a single pause. This kind of satisfaction was indeed quite addictive.

After the exam, she compared answers with the female lead and found that they basically matched up. No wonder top students were always so calm—they were already confident in their answers.

Having drunk too much water, she went to the restroom after finishing the English exam. Just as she entered a stall, she heard a series of footsteps outside, followed by bursts of loud laughter.

"You little bitch actually dared to hit me! And even hit Master Qi! I think you're tired of living!"

Wang Zhizhi's voice, filled with gritted teeth, echoed from outside. Su Mi pushed the stall door and found it had been locked from the outside.

Immediately after, water began splashing down from above the stall, as if someone was spraying a hose directly into it.

"Hahahahaha, let's see how she sits for the exam later!"

"Shameless slut! I think she's just playing hard to get to seduce Master Qi, just like that Zuo Yue—both are despicable sluts!"

"Still trying to fight me? Do you even know your own place?!"

"Ding! Key task triggered!"

Listening to the insults outside, Su Mi looked up at the top of the stall, then stepped onto the partition and climbed up.

"If you kneel down and kowtow to me a few times, then drink my piss, I'll let you off today. Otherwise—"

Wang Zhizhi suddenly widened her eyes, seeing someone jump down from above the stall. She froze in place, completely at a loss.

"Oh? Is that all? Do you have any other demands? Say them all at once." Su Mi stepped closer to the group.

Remembering her fighting skills, the others instinctively backed away. Two of the girls still had bandages on their heads, clearly not yet recovered from being hit by the stool last time. They were so scared they immediately tried to run outside.

Su Mi quickly stepped forward and kicked the door shut, locking it for good measure. Then, under the terrified gaze of one girl, she grabbed her hair and pressed her head into the sink, turning on the faucet to let the water rush over her.

"Don't... don't..." The girl choked, tears instantly streaming down her face.

The others watched in horror, but as if remembering they outnumbered her, they swarmed forward together.

Su Mi kicked one person down, dodged a punch by tilting her head, then grabbed another girl's hair, pressing both of them into the sink at the same time.

"Don't... I... can't... breathe..." The two girls choked painfully under the water, their hands flailing desperately but grasping nothing.

Seeing this, Wang Zhizhi swallowed hard and tried to sneak toward the door. But just as she reached the restroom entrance, a hand grabbed her hair from behind. As her knee buckled in pain, she fell to her knees.

"Don't... I was wrong! Sister Mi, I was wrong! I'll never dare again! Please let me go!" Wang Zhizhi, knowing when to yield, knelt there with her hands clasped, begging for mercy.

The other two girls were already pale from choking, lying on the floor coughing violently.

"Weren't you going to make me drink your piss?" Su Mi patted her face.

Wang Zhizhi's expression changed, then she looked at Su Mi with pleading eyes. Suddenly remembering something, she quickly pulled out two hundred yuan from her pocket. "I... I have money! Sister Mi, please let me go! I'm the bad one! I'm shameless! I swear I'll never do this again!"

"That won't do. What needs to be drunk must still be drunk, right?"

Su Mi took a hat from another girl's head and threw it on the floor. "Hurry up and pee. Whoever drinks it first can leave. Otherwise, I'll make her eat shit later."

Hearing this, their faces turned pale. Between eating shit or drinking piss, the choice was obvious.

The others certainly didn't have the guts, but Su Mi now seemed like a complete madwoman. She had almost drowned them just moments ago—who knew if she'd actually make them eat shit?

Seeing that she seemed serious and fearing they might really have to eat shit later, one girl hurriedly took the hat, peed in it, held her breath, and drank it. She even showed the empty hat to Su Mi afterward.

"Good, you can go." Su Mi nodded in satisfaction.

Relieved, the girl rushed to the faucet, frantically rinsing her mouth as if to wash away the taste. Afraid of lingering in Su Mi's memory, she retched while quickly leaving the restroom.

The others looked miserable, but with no other choice, another girl followed suit, drinking a bit of her own urine before desperately rinsing her mouth at the faucet.

When it was finally Wang Zhizhi's turn, her face was already ghastly pale, covered in cold sweat. She had always been the one forcing others to drink piss—no one had ever dared to do this to her.

But there was no other way. She had called so many people to teach this little bitch a lesson, only for them all to be beaten and chased away by her. She'd even heard that Master Qi had been beaten so badly he couldn't fight back. This Su Mi must be possessed—otherwise, how could she be so strong?

"Ten seconds." Su Mi glanced at her digital watch.

Hearing this, Wang Zhizhi's face turned even uglier. Finally, gritting her teeth, she peed a little into the hat, held her breath, and drank it.

Afterward, she rushed to the faucet to rinse her mouth, retching so violently it seemed her stomach might turn inside out.

"Ding! Host's luck points +130!"

Su Mi said nothing, instead timing her departure to attend the next exam.

Now they know how disgusting piss tastes. Why didn't they think about that when they were bullying others?

If they love drinking piss so much, they can have more. Next time they come barking, I'll really make these trash eat shit—that should shut their mouths.

They never have anything good to say—calling them trash is even giving them too much credit. Who knows how many innocent people have been driven to suicide under their bullying? Even if they don't kill themselves, they're bound to carry lifelong psychological scars. And these pieces of trash leave school unscathed, as if nothing happened.

If there were more time, I'd really make them eat shit. Otherwise, how would they know what it feels like to be bullied?

Back in the classroom, those girls were nowhere to be seen. They'd probably gone somewhere to rinse their mouths. Not like the teachers could control them anyway.

After the chemistry exam, everyone gathered in small groups to compare answers. Suddenly, screams erupted from outside, as if something had happened again.

The next moment, Qi Yuan appeared at the classroom door. A bandage was stuck to his forehead, and bruises were visible elsewhere. He stared straight at Su Mi inside the room. "You! Come out!"

As a prominent figure at No. 2 High School, Qi Yuan's appearance immediately drew crowds of girls from other classes into the hallway. They all stared at the School Heartthrob's handsome face, puzzled. Who could have beaten Master Qi up like this?!

This is just too much! What if his face gets permanently damaged?!

"Isn't that Qi Yuan from Class Three? I saw him at a basketball game once. Ahhh, he's even more handsome up close!"

"What does he want with Su Mi?"

No one in the classroom could believe Qi Yuan had come to their class. They all looked at Su Mi in disbelief, as if surprised she even knew Master Qi. Could there be something between them...?

"Mimi... don't go..." Zuo Yue immediately grabbed her hand, her face full of caution. "There are surveillance cameras in the classroom. If he dares to do anything, I'll report it to the teacher."

Su Mi, of course, knew about the cameras. As a good student, how could she possibly hit someone? She just couldn't understand—with the male lead's face beaten up like that, where were these people seeing his handsomeness?

Seeing her ignore him, Qi Yuan gritted his teeth and walked straight into the classroom, his expression icy as he stared at her. "Tomorrow at six p.m., behind the school at the garbage dump. Do you dare to come?"

Yesterday was just an accident. The face he lost, he would definitely reclaim himself! Otherwise, how could he ever show his face in public again? He might as well go home and play in the mud!

Hearing what sounded less like a date invitation and more like a fight challenge, everyone lowered their heads and whispered among themselves. If Qi Yuan had a grudge against Su Mi and wanted to mess with her, wouldn't it be easy? Why go through the formality of coming to challenge her in person?

Suddenly remembering the scene from a few days ago, the expressions of others in the classroom shifted again. They'd heard Master Qi was beaten up at the school gate a few days ago. Could that person... be Su Mi?

"Fine. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Su Mi's eyebrow twitched slightly. "If you lose, from now on you have to avoid me whenever you see me, and you're not allowed to bother Zuo Yue anymore."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "If you lose, you have to clean the dumpster area for a whole semester and kneel down to call me 'grandpa.'"

"How shameless can you be? If you lose, shouldn't you kneel down and call Mimi 'grandma'?" Zuo Yue retorted indignantly.

Su Mi took out her phone to record. "Everyone heard it—you started this. So let's make it clear: regardless of winning, losing, injuries, or even death, no one is allowed to call the police or tell the teachers."

Qi Yuan sneered; this was exactly what he wanted. Tomorrow, he would make this damn girl grovel at his feet!

"Only you are allowed to come," he added, glancing at Zuo Yue as if worried about being held back later.

Over the buzz of conversation, Su Mi looked him up and down with disdain. "It's fine. You can bring others. Don't say I, your grandma here, bullied you, my ungrateful grandson."
