Sometimes, something may happen in just a moment, but this doesn't mean that it didn't exist or hasn't occurred.

The conflict between the girls of Class 1-5 and those from Class 1-1 was known to the grade headmaster. Such incidents, especially conflicts among female students, greatly impact the school's normal atmosphere and violate the recent rectification spirit regarding school discipline that the principal has emphasized.

No mistakes can be made at Shi Zhong High School since it is the most notable key national high school in Xia Hai city, attracting everyone's attention. Any incident here would affect various public opinions and discussions.

Due to a large number of children from influential families entering the school, there has been some deviation in its風氣 (atmosphere). In recent years, senior management has felt this pressure. Key national high schools undergo annual reviews, and competition for this title is fierce. Both hardware and software quality as well as teaching standards must be up to par; otherwise, one risks losing this prestigious status.

Over the past three years, Xia Hai Shi Zhong High School's ranking has dropped sharply from 28th among China's top thirty-six key high schools to 33rd. The current principal, Ding Juntao, has put a lot of effort into improving this situation and sometimes wakes up in cold sweats at the thought of losing the title of national key school.

Ding Juntao understands the current state of Shi Zhong High School and thus took measures to balance things out. After establishing class separation and teacher performance evaluation systems, he focused on improving the school's atmosphere and discipline.

At a school meeting, Ding Juntao criticized Xiao Rihua over this matter, threatening his year-end performance bonus.

This means that he would have to endure more nagging from his wife and face the prospect of losing his daughter’s violin lessons as well as high tutoring fees for next year.

During class, Xiao Rihua glanced at Chen Lingshan below. This girl still listened attentively while he lectured on Xu Zhimo with her clear eyes reflecting the bright blue sky and white clouds outside.

Xiao Rihua ultimately did not talk to Chen Lingshan about the incident. Sometimes, girls can be just as stubborn as boys. Seeing that usually well-behaved Chen Lingshan had conflicts with students from other classes, Xiao Rihua believed there must have been a reason behind it. Knowing that children nowadays often have their own thoughts and ideas, he decided to act as if nothing happened, which might have been better than confronting her about the matter.

This was a double period, and when the class ended, Xiao Rihua did not return to the teachers' lounge but stayed in the classroom to handle some students' questions.

Zhang Xil and Li Ai left through the back door of the classroom. As they exited, they felt an ominous aura stopping them in their tracks. Zhang Xil stood still when he noticed Chen Cong from Wang Haoran's group standing by the back door of their classroom, his expression dark as he scanned the room. This made Zhang Xil feel startled for no reason.

After a moment, he reacted and let out a sigh of relief upon realizing it was just a false alarm, "Oh, is there someone you're looking for"

Chen Cong didn't respond but instead entered the classroom through the back door. He scanned the room and locked his gaze on Ma Xiaoshi's direction before saying in a low tone, "Ma Xiaoshi, come out here."

The bell had just rung to signal the end of class, and with Teacher Xiao still at the lectern, the students from Class One, Grade Five were leaving the classroom slowly. With Chen Cong entering alone and addressing someone by name, an invisible tension tightened in the air.

Since he was called out directly, Ma Xiaoshi left his desk along with several male classmates to approach Chen Cong. Along the way, he glanced at Su Can, a hint of confidence in his eyes.

To be honest, Ma Xiaoshi was tall and sturdy, but due to his timid nature, no one would provoke him based on his physique alone. After interacting with Su Can, Ma Xiaoshi had unconsciously changed quite a bit. Therefore, when he saw Chen Cong come over specifically for him now, he wasn't afraid at all. He regretted not being able to help Su Can the last time Wang Haoran and others ambushed them. Now his courage and confidence were much higher than before; if Chen Cong wanted to fight him, Ma Xiaoshi was ready to give it a go.

Chen Cong had a violent temper. As a second-year student, he hadn't been short on brawls lately, and this appearance here could be traced back to the slap that Chen Lingshan gave Ran Yu yesterday.

Ran Yu was simultaneously watching over Ma Xiaoshi and Chen Cong; she naturally couldn't let go of her grievance after getting into trouble herself. Probably complaining about it to Chen Cong, he flew into a rage and came here ready to settle the score for her.

Since this matter also concerned him, Chen Lingshan stood up from his desk and walked towards the back door as well.

Xiao Rihua frowned; someone barging in to call out people was quite unprofessional. But it was break time now, so he didn't expect anything unusual would happen.

"Are you dating Ran Yu" When Chen Cong glared coldly at Ma Xiaochi as she walked up to him, the chill in his eyes was like a blade cutting through.

It turned out that Chen Lingshan had miscalculated. Instead of reporting their conflict to Chen Cong, Ran Yu had simply proposed breaking up with him during afternoon dismissal on the school grounds yesterday. She cried sadly in front of Chen Cong, her words still ringing in his ears: "Now I am looked down upon by many people. I don't want to continue like this; all I want is to sincerely love someone!"

She wanted to sincerely love someone! That meant he wasn't considered a person in her eyes!

Facing the blood-red sunset, his shattered pride ignited a frenzied madness in Chen Cong's gaze.

"Why does it matter to you who Ma Xiaochi is dating Don't you have any self-awareness" One of the girls who came with Chen Lingshan sneered. To her, Chen Lingshan slapping Ran Yu yesterday was a great boost to Class 5's female reputation, making others see that they were not to be trifled with; thus, she spoke rather arrogantly.

Another girl chimed in: "Take care of your woman and don't let Ma Xiaochi fall into the mud!"

"Can you all shut up for me" Chen Cong pointed his finger at the speaking girl with a distorted expression. The girl immediately fell silent, seemingly not expecting such an intense reaction from him; the aura he exuded made it feel as though those standing before him were potential opponents ready to strike.

Xiao Rihua, who had been helping someone else with their studies, looked up. Though he initially dismissed it as students from another class disregarding classroom etiquette, now that there was a verbal outburst, he couldn't ignore the situation; after all, he was still the homeroom teacher here.

Putting down the materials of others beside him, Xiao Rihua stepped down from his desk. The entire Class 5 immediately became agitated.

"I'll ask you again: Are you dating Ran Yu" Chen Cong fixated on Ma Xiaochi and spoke each word with emphasis. Although Ma Xiaochi's friends were all full of youthful vigor, they fell silent in the face of a Chen Cong whose acne-pitted face radiated an indescribable sharpness.

Through the crowd, Ma Xiaochi looked at Su Can on the lectern, as if her courage had been somewhat replenished. She turned back to nod at Chen Cong: "Yes!"

"What are you looking around for" Chen Cong stepped forward and punched him. *Pah!* Mao Xiaoshi felt a tremendous pain in his eye socket, an acidic numbness that nearly suffocated him, causing him to take two steps back and almost fall over.

The crowd murmured as many of the students from Class 5 who were still seated immediately stood up.

At this moment, these male students finally realized how much they lagged behind Chen Cong. Someone like him, who frequently got into fights, had considerable strength in his fists. Facing people like Mao Xiaoshi and others from the basketball team, he intimidated them so much that they couldn’t even move.

Many high school students would imagine themselves stepping forward to intervene if they encountered a violent incident on campus. However, at a prestigious school like Shizhong High School, it was proven that such heroic actions were merely the result of reading too many martial arts novels and simple daydreaming.

When faced with overwhelming presence, these young high school students would come to understand the fear their subconscious generated as a protective mechanism. It’s an involuntary reaction that leaves one powerless.

This sudden punch not only completely shattered Mao Xiaoshi's mental defenses but also made his basketball teammates like Zhang Yang and Wu Changxin shudder all over.

Chen Cong kicked out with his foot, striking Mao Xiaoshi in the small of his back. The latter was pushed back another step, as if a sandbag had been struck. Simultaneously, those around him seemed to cooperate with this kick by retreating like waves. Girls covered their mouths in shock, unable to believe that someone could act so brazenly right in front of their teacher and classmates. But they were completely intimidated by Chen Cong’s imposing presence, and no one dared even reach out to pull him back.
