Fu Yixuan put the kitten in the backpack, leaving a gap for air, and then carried the backpack to school.

On the way, Fu Yixuan looked back frequently, many girls secretly glanced at him excitedly or shyly, which startled Tang Qing, thinking he had been discovered.

Later, seeing Fu Yixuan’s indifferent attitude and the girls’ shining eyes, Tang Qing understood—

It was simply because the young man was too good-looking.

Tang Qing: Alright, I was overthinking.

Fu Yixuan sat in his seat, expressionless, and took out a few love letters from the drawer, pink in colour, emitting a faint fragrance. Without even opening them, he skillfully threw them in the trash can…

After throwing them away, he carefully disinfected his hands with alcohol.

I wish I could be so popular with girls too.

During class, the kitten was very well-behaved, quietly hiding in the backpack, occasionally peeking out a furry little head to breathe in some fresh air, remaining motionless like a breathing plush toy the rest of the time.

Fu Yixuan absentmindedly listened to the lesson, occasionally reaching into the backpack to touch the warm and fluffy bundle. His heart couldn’t help but soften slightly.

He was originally worried that such a small cat wouldn’t be able to control its instincts to meow, but unexpectedly, Tang Tang behaved as if he understood human speech, staying quietly inside without making a sound.

During math class, he even started to doze off a little…

Could it be that the little cat also couldn’t stand the monotony of functions?

“Tang Tang, silly cat, wake up.” A deep and elegant voice sounded.

Tang Qing groggily wiped away some drool at the edge of the backpack, dumbly raising his head, revealing a pair of round cat eyes.

“I’ll be back in a moment, don’t run around.” Fu Yixuan stared into the cat’s eyes, earnestly instructing.

Although this cat was a bit silly, Fu Yixuan found that Tang Tang was quite perceptive, basically able to grasp his meaning.

Tang Qing obediently nodded, shrinking back to show agreement.

The teenager closed the backpack, leaving only a small gap for air, and then left his seat.

Tang Qing suddenly remembered his mission and asked, “99, are you there? Do you know where the female lead is? If Fu Yixuan goes to see the female lead, I need to find a way to follow.”

The system quickly responded: [Host, the female lead is called Zhang Zhizhi. She is seated on the third row from the right, third from the back, the one on the left.]

Tang Qing squeezed out his head, straining to look around, and saw the female lead of this world. Zhang Zhizhi was sitting alone in her seat, with smooth black hair and big innocent eyes, truly a beauty without vulgarity.

Seeing that the female lead was alone and not developing any feelings towards Fu Yixuan, Tang Qing felt relieved.

After a while, Fu Yixuan returned. The oppressive aura around him suddenly increased significantly, his deep eyes showing a hint of gloom.

He placed a textbook on the desk, then vigorously wiped his hands with a wet tissue, disinfecting them. Tang Qing suspected he might rub his hands raw. He even sprayed a lot of alcohol on the textbook.

A classmate with a precious watch walked over, looking pompous and exuding an aura of being wealthy but foolish. He smirked maliciously and said, “Sorry, top student, I ‘accidentally’ threw your textbook into the trash can, hahaha.”

Another skinny guy, with a face like a monkey and clearly not a good person, sneered and said, “Yes, yes, sorry, I ‘accidentally’ stepped on it a few times, hahaha. Top student, please don’t get angry.”

Fu Yixuan coldly raised his head, staring at the newcomers with a deep, cold, and stern look.

The dark-haired youth’s gaze was somewhat intimidating, making the two uncomfortable. Seeing the teacher approaching, the chubby student disdainfully said, “Poor orphan, stinky beggar,” and they returned to their seats.

“99, who are these fat and skinny guys? Their mouths are so foul.”

[Host, the fat one is Ren Yuhui, the son of the CEO of the Ren Group. He is jealous of the villain being better than him and has found out that the girl he likes has a secret crush on the villain, so he often targets the villain. The skinny one is Zhang Xu, one of his followers.]

Tang Qing felt a bit sorry for Fu Yixuan.

From his observations, Fu Yixuan had no parents and as a high school senior, he had to cook for himself and support himself. At school, he even encountered a stupid rich second-generation like this bullying him.

System 99 noticed Tang Qing’s slightly downcast mood and comforted him, saying, [Host, do you sympathise with the villain? This small world is designed this way, the villain’s unfortunate upbringing and other reasons led to his gradual distortion and development of his character.]

Tang Qing thought to himself, how could someone who grew up being bullied not be twisted.

He felt a little sorry for the teenager.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go home after school. Tang Qing wiped his mouth, happily hid in the backpack, and was carried home by Fu Yixuan.

When passing by an alley, three people suddenly appeared, blocking their way.

The newcomers were the fat and skinny guys, along with a big, blond guy.

“Top student, lend me some money, this young master forgot to bring money out today.” The chubby Ren Yuhui blocked Fu Yixuan, his eyes full of malice.

“Scram.” The black-haired youth couldn’t be bothered to say much, so he coldly stated.

Zhang Xu, the skinny guy, taunted from behind, “Everyone knows you work everywhere, you must have saved quite a bit of money. Poor orphan, no parents, is it hard to earn money? Unlike our Hui-ge¹brother hui. It’s not really blood related. Just like a bro dude kinda situation, who has a group to inherit.”

Ren Yuhui looked the youth up and down, smirked, and said, “I wonder what kind of job a pretty boy like you can find? You look decent, if you’re broke, why not take off your clothes today and let us see how you earn money?”

The blond guy behind them smirked maliciously, his eyes lecherous and sinister.

This blond guy was a well-known troublemaker outside of school, not very skilled but incredibly strong. Ren Yuhui deliberately invited him to be his muscles.

The blond guy was eager, he loved tormenting handsome and aloof teenagers like Fu Yixuan.

Fu Yixuan didn’t respond, just stared coldly at them. Although he wasn’t born into a noble family, he stood tall with a cold and noble demeanour, his icy aura making others jealous with just one glance.

Fu Yixuan was completely unafraid of fighting, even against three opponents. He had been discriminated against and mocked since childhood for not having a father, often getting into fights behind his mother’s back, never losing. Even against thugs like the blond guy, he had taken down several.

But today, he had a little kitten in his backpack, so he didn’t want to waste energy on fighting.

Tang Qing nervously watched from the backpack and curled up cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

“99, are these thugs going to bully Fu Yixuan?” Tang Qing was very worried.

[Host, don’t worry, after all, the villain is the villain, it’s not easy to bully the villain. He is very strong in combat.] The system comforted.

Tang Qing slightly relaxed, he really didn’t want to see the teenager get hurt.

Seeing Fu Yixuan not retorting, the blond guy couldn’t help but feel smug. This seemingly calm teenager, in the eyes of the blond guy, was just like the students he usually beat up, powerless to resist. He grinned and reached out his hand, trying to grab the black-haired youth’s backpack.

Fu Yixuan quickly dodged to the side, his previously indifferent face now showing some gloom. When the blond guy and his friends rushed towards his backpack again, without a word, Fu Yixuan swiftly kicked the blond guy in the abdomen, hard and fast, causing him to stagger back several steps.

The chubby and skinny ones also rushed forward, engaging with Fu Yixuan. Although it was two against one, the two were just pampered students who couldn’t fight, especially the chubby one who was used to a life of luxury.

The black-haired youth blocked his backpack behind him, using his right hand to block the chubby guy’s incoming fist, and with a powerful kick from his left foot, he knocked the skinny guy down as he charged towards him.

He exerted his arm muscles, using the chubby guy’s wrist to flip him onto the ground, then delivered a fierce kick to his chest. The chubby guy immediately cried out in pain, only able to be pinned down by Fu Yixuan’s foot.

The youth didn’t utter any harsh words, but his narrow, long, and deep eyes coldly stared at the two people lying on the ground. The two of them dared not make a sound, only writhing in pain.

Fu Yixuan didn’t want to waste time entangling with them. After checking his backpack to ensure the safety of the small thing inside, he prepared to leave through the alley.

Behind him, the blond guy’s eyes turned fierce. He steadied himself against the wall, pulled out a thick wooden stick and with a malicious expression on his face, swiftly charged towards Fu Yixuan from behind.

Tang Qing clearly saw from behind that the wooden stick in the blond guy’s hand had sharp nails on it. If it hit someone, it would surely cause a bloody mess. He couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, even System 99 was screaming in fear.

But Fu Yixuan, walking forward with his back to the blond guy, didn’t see this scene.

He watched helplessly as the nail-studded stick got closer and closer to him.

Tang Qing couldn’t help but let out a desperate meow and closed his eyes.

“Meow—!”
