'Pa—'

That was a crisp sound.

I slapped Pei Qi in front of the whole school.

She didn't even react or fight back.

For a moment, everyone was shocked, staring at us.

I took a deep breath and said, 'Pei Qi, this slap is for the time you smashed my ball.'

The basketball fell to the ground.

Pei Qi, who had finally reacted, grabbed my wrist.

Her face turned red, and her gaze at me was extremely dangerous.

'Yu Kai, do you fucking know what you're doing?'

'I know.'

She had a firm grip on my wrist.

'I've told my parents what you did to me. You caused me to be isolated, forced to transfer schools, and made me a pariah. Pei Qi, you weren't like this before. Do you even recognize yourself now?'

Pei Qi's hand froze.

I broke free and forcefully shook off her hand.

'Tell me where Li Xiaoran is.'

But in the next second, she smiled instead of getting angry.

'Where is she? Yu Kai, if you have the guts, go find her yourself!'
