Fists and steel pipes colliding with the ground intertwined with cries of pain.
Shen Jianxi listened carefully, but none of the sounds came from the arrogant boy.
Turning the corner, a group of hoodlums with dyed hair were ganging up on a black-haired boy in a school uniform.
This must be Xie Shu.
Xie Shu seemed to be struggling, but he wasn't at a disadvantage. Although the group was larger, they were actually at a disadvantage.
More and more colorful youths fell to the ground. Xie Shu was also injured, and his unsteady breathing indicated his exhaustion.
While Shen Jianxi was leisurely watching the show, a steel pipe suddenly swung towards her. She dodged quickly, and the steel pipe hit the ground with a loud clang.
She tied up her hair without a word, then picked up the steel pipe from the ground. Fortunately, she was wearing pants today.
She weighed the steel pipe in her hand and aimed at a boy who was about to sneak attack Xie Shu, throwing it with all her might.
"Crack!"
The steel pipe hit the boy's leg, and he immediately fell to his knees, struggling for a few moments before being unable to get up.
The sudden ambush startled both sides into looking over.
"Who the hell is—"
Seeing that Xie Shu was about to be beaten, the leader, Purple Hair, was annoyed that his plan was disrupted. He glared menacingly.
Before he could finish speaking, Purple Hair swallowed his words. His eyes were fixed on her. When he met the target of his affection, the rain had stopped, but he was still drenched.
The white shirt clung tightly to her body, revealing glimpses of her figure through the wet fabric, which made the group's eyes light up like dogs seeing bones.
"A beautiful young lady has arrived. How about you wait for me to finish this person, and then we can get acquainted?" Although his tone was questioning, he immediately signaled Red Hair and Yellow Hair to come over and watch her, preventing her from escaping.
His tone was flippant, and his expression was arrogant. Shen Jianxi felt her fists itching again.
Xie Shu let out a sneer and said, "Li Li, what kind of way is it to bully a young girl? You're really getting more and more..."
"Bang!"
The two of them turned into beautiful parabolas, crashing to the ground right in front of the purple-haired leader.
The whole group, including Xie Shu, stared in shock at the two people lying on the ground. An eerie silence fell over the scene.
Shen Jianxi clapped her hands. She didn't know how long it had been since those two had last bathed. She had originally intended to drag them by their hair and roll them over like bowling pins, but as soon as her gaze fell upon them, she had disdainfully averted her eyes and could only resort to grabbing their collars and throwing them.
77 discovered that the host's strength in this world seemed to have increased again.
Suddenly remembering something, 77 suddenly recalled that it had just pranked the host. Imagining itself being rolled into a ball and thrown out by the host, it shivered and prudently retreated.
For a short period, it was better to hide. It knew it was wrong, but it wouldn't change. At worst, it would just hide a few more times.
"This... strong, no, heroine." Li Li swallowed nervously. "Shouldn't we have a good chat... Ah! Holy shit!"
Shen Jianxi didn't bother listening to his incessant rambling. She grabbed his arm with her knuckles and delivered an uppercut, followed by an elbow strike to the knee, a chest strike, and a neck chop. He instantly broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Tilting her head to look at Purple Hair's subordinates, she said in a gentle, sweet voice, "Come on, don't be afraid."
Her expression was as innocent as if she hadn't just beaten someone up.
The remaining people looked at each other, and before anyone could start, the rest rushed forward.
Three minutes later.
Another pile of people lay on the ground.
Shen Jianxi glanced at the people on the ground, squatted beside them, and said in her soft voice, "Little friends~ you shouldn't learn bad habits! Otherwise, be careful of lying in a coffin, sleeping in a tomb, and finally being buried together~"
"Little friends" my ass. Li Li and his group were furious but dared not speak. They could only smile and agree. Where did this extraordinarily strong woman come from?!
Straightening her clothes, Shen Jianxi stood up and looked at Li Li, saying softly, "Do you understand?"
Looking at her eyes, which held no hint of a smile, Li Li said resentfully, "Y-yes."
Shifting her gaze, Shen Jianxi caught sight of Xie Shu leaning against the wall on one leg out of the corner of her eye, and her expression suddenly froze.
"Damn it, I got too carried away and forgot about the target."
Xie Shu watched her with a half-smile throughout the entire ordeal. Seeing that she had finally finished threatening them, he walked over.
"How old are you to be learning to fight?"
"You didn't stop me," Shen Jianxi grumbled inwardly.
"Almost an adult."
She still had that delicate and soft voice. If Xie Shu hadn't witnessed her heroic display of fighting earlier, he would have been completely fooled by her harmless appearance.
A boy's school uniform was thrown over Shen Jianxi from above.
"Whatever. I'm leaving." This had nothing to do with him, and Xie Shu couldn't be bothered to know. He picked up his backpack that had been thrown on the ground, brushed off the dust, and turned to leave.
77: "Ding! Affection +5, Xie Shu's current affection is 5."
"Mission issued: Make him confess voluntarily and say 'I like you very much, but I don't want to be in a relationship right now. Can you be my brother?'"
Shen Jianxi: "..."
This is so deliciously wicked, it's getting more and more exciting.

When she returned, Song Qi was waiting for her at the entrance of the base. Seeing that Shen Jianxi was drenched, he immediately took her back to the dormitory without asking any questions. Su Dan Novel Network.
As the warm water washed over her, Shen Jianxi finally felt more comfortable. Thanks to 77, she had truly experienced the feeling of a female protagonist today.
Speaking of 77, it hadn't shown its face since it pranked her, which clearly indicated its guilt.
Shen Jianxi gritted her teeth. It would be best if 77 never showed up again, or she would definitely roll it into a ball and play with it every day.
In the lounge, 77, who was preparing to go into hibernation, inexplicably felt a sense of danger and shivered involuntarily. The weather was getting cold; it seemed like it needed to make itself a blanket.
When Shen Jianxi came out, Song Qi was sitting on the bed, clutching Xie Shu's school uniform.
Hearing her come out, he looked up and froze.
Shen Jianxi was wrapped in a white bathrobe, her fair, glowing legs smooth and shapely. Her hair was still dripping, trickling down her neck and disappearing into the neckline.
Song Qi's ears felt hot. He coughed lightly and turned his head away, saying uncomfortably, "Why aren't you dressed properly?"
Shen Jianxi looked innocent and pointed behind Song Qi, "Because my clothes are outside."
"Ah? Oh! I'm going out. You get dressed first." With that, he fled the room as if someone were chasing him.
77: "Ding! Affection +4, Song Qi's current affection is 46."
Leaning against the cool wall, Song Qi gradually calmed down and finally realized that he hadn't asked what he wanted to ask.
Shen Jianxi watched him leave, let out a soft laugh, and raised an eyebrow. Of course, she knew what Song Qi wanted to ask, but that depended on whether she allowed it.
Song Qi couldn't bring himself to ask about the origin of the school uniform until they got home. Whenever he tried to bring it up, Shen Jianxi would skillfully deflect the conversation.
Before going to sleep, Song Qi lay in bed, trying hard to recall. He felt like there was something he hadn't done, but he couldn't quite remember what it was.
Finally, he gave up, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep.
