Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2157 Don’t Fight

A crowd quickly gathered around the pond, but the two people in the water seemed oblivious to what was happening. They kept floundering in the water, trying to scratch each other's faces.

"What happened to Liu Mochen and Xiao Jingheng? Why did they start fighting?"

"I don't know. I saw them fall into the water when I came out."

"We'll fight in the water too." Everyone shook their heads, looking like they were enjoying a good show. Shangguan Chu had just come out of the bathroom, and when she heard two familiar names, she quickly squeezed into the crowd.

Shangguan Chu was stunned for a moment when she saw the farce in the water. The water splashed on her face, and the cold feeling brought her back to her senses. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly shouted at the two people: "What's going on? Stop fighting."

"Liu Mochen, Xiao Jingheng, stop fighting."

Shangguan Chu's voice calmed the two people in the water down. They turned their heads and swam to the shore in two sides. Seeing the two people coming up, Shangguan Chu ran over anxiously.

"This is the academy. You two are not studying hard and are fighting by the pond?" Shangguan Chu's tone was full of reproach. Seeing that the two were silent, she asked again, "What's the reason this time?"

The two men remained silent and turned their heads away, unwilling to look at her. Shangguan Chu didn't know that they were fighting for him. Seeing this, he was so angry that he didn't bother to care about them and turned back to the school.

Xiao Jingheng and Liu Mochen followed closely behind. The others couldn't see the excitement and dispersed one after another. The pond became quiet again, with only rippling water.

After school in the evening, everyone packed up their things and left the school. When there was no one around, Xiao Jingheng blocked Shangguan Chu again.

"Xiao Jingheng, what are you doing?" Shangguan Chu asked, suppressing her nervousness. But this time, Xiao Jingheng did not give her any answer, but pressed on.

Helplessly, she could only retreat step by step until she reached the corner of the wall. When she had no way to retreat anymore, she was trapped between the wall and Xiao Jingheng's chest.

He placed his hands on Shangguan Chu's head and said in a low voice, "Ah Chu, is it because of him that you don't accept me?"

"Because of whom, what are you talking about?" Shangguan Chu frowned, not knowing what his incoherent words meant.

Jamel Xiao didn't explain, he just lowered his head and kissed her lips forcefully.

"Um... Jamel Xiao..."

Before he finished speaking, his kiss was like a violent storm, tightly entangling Shangguan Chu, making her almost unable to breathe. Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, filled with shock and panic.

She didn't know why Jamel Xiao suddenly went crazy and even kissed her forcefully.

All she knew was that when she was about to suffocate, the man finally let go of her hand, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered with thin lips: "Shangguan Chu, I will ask my mother to go to your house to propose marriage. I want to marry you."

"No." Shangguan Chu refused subconsciously, shaking his head like a rattle, which instantly ignited Xiao Jingheng's anger.

"If I must..."

“Xiao Jingheng, don’t force me to hate you.”

After she finished speaking, Shangguan Chu used force on her hands to push Xiao Jingheng away and left in a hurry. Xiao Jingheng was still immersed in her words, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Shangguan Chu, do you hate me so much?" Xiao Jingheng had a dejected look in his eyes and muttered to himself. He stood there for a long time. On the other side, Shangguan Chu didn't expect that he had just escaped from Xiao Jingheng and turned around to bump into Liu Mochen again.

Covering her aching nose, Shangguan Chu looked at him timidly with tears in her eyes.

At a glance, Liu Mochen noticed her swollen lips and immediately became jealous, frowning: "Shangguan Chu, where have you been?"

"Why..." His eyes fell on Shangguan Chu's lips, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and his body gradually approached: "Who kissed you, Xiao Jingheng?"

Shangguan Chu trembled all over when his secret was guessed. He subconsciously looked at Liu Mochen, but was caught off guard and met his eyes full of desire.

That is the desire to possess private property...

Shangguan Chu felt that both of them had gone crazy. He turned around and tried to run, but his hand was grabbed by Liu Mochen. His handsome face slowly enlarged in front of him.

"Achu, I want it too." Liu Mochen lowered his head and wanted to kiss Shangguan Chu forcefully, but before he could kiss those swollen and pink lips, Shangguan Chu slapped him hard.

With his head tilted to one side, Liu Mochen licked his lips, feeling even more agitated.

"Liu Mochen, you are crazy!"

"Yes, I am crazy. Shangguan Chu, are you a woman?" Liu Mochen stared at her, saw the guilt in her eyes, and suddenly laughed.

"If you don't tell me, I'll have a way to verify it." He held her down by force and was about to tear off her clothes to confirm her identity.

"Liu Mochen, let me go, you bastard."

Shangguan Chu held on to his clothes tightly, found the right moment, and kicked Liu Mochen in the vitals. The man cried out in pain, bent over and fell to the side.

"Achu..." The man's voice was in pain, but Shangguan Chu didn't bother to check his injuries. He tightened his clothes, got up from the ground, and fled in panic.

She ran back home and only when she knew she was safe did she squat along the doorpost and couldn't help crying out loud. Her crying happened to be heard by Wan Shufang who was passing by. She didn't understand what was going on and walked over quickly.

"Achu, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Wan Shufang's voice, Shangguan Chu stood up, hugged her, and cried even louder.

"Ma'am, I, I want to drop out of school. I don't want to go to the academy anymore."

The little body in her arms twitched, obviously afraid. Wan Shufang silently reached out her hand and gently patted her back: "Why do you want to drop out of school suddenly? Did someone bully you?"

Her voice was gentle, and she just thought Shangguan Chu was bullied, so she wanted to guide the little girl to tell the truth, but she didn't say it.

Seeing this, Wan Shufang narrowed her eyes slightly and pushed the little girl away from her arms.

"Achu, don't be afraid. It must be Liu Mochen. I will go and avenge you right away." After saying that, she ran away, looking aggressive, as if she was going to rush to the academy to help her.

This frightened Shangguan Chu, who quickly pulled Wan Shufang to his side and said timidly, "No, madam, no one bullied me."

"It's just... it's just that I'm a girl, and it's against the rules to enter the academy. I don't want to stay in the academy in fear anymore, so I want to drop out."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang was slightly stunned. She had never thought that it was because of this that Shangguan Chu wanted to drop out of school.

Seeing the disappointment and fear on the girl's face, Wan Shufang felt a little uncomfortable: "Achu, it's not like that. Women can also be independent. Since ancient times, there have been many women who are as brave as men."

"There were female generals in the previous dynasty. Moreover, in our neighboring country, the empress was elected. You should have heard about Harijula's deeds."

Wan Shufang preached to Shangguan Chu some profound truths and even mentioned Empress Harijula.

"Some books also record that women can also serve as officials..."

The two of them sat on the stone steps and talked for a long time. One example after another inspired Shangguan Chu, and his eyes gradually showed longing.

She really likes books too...

If she really gave up going to the academy because of those two people, she would definitely regret it.
