Ouyang Zhirou and Lin Mu Xi made their way smoothly to the Rehearsal Room. Sitting on the chair, Ouyang Zhirou was still fuming, cursing the man from earlier at Lin Mu Xi.
"How dare he speak to me like that! Even Zhao Lun wouldn’t have the audacity to talk to me in such a manner. What gives him the right? It infuriates me!"
"Alright, Zhi Rou, calm down, just take a deep breath," Lin Mu Xi said, handing Ouyang Zhirou a bottle of water to help cool her down.
But Ouyang Zhirou slammed the water bottle onto the table, unable to contain herself. "I want to go out and have someone take care of him!"
She stood up, ready to storm out, but Lin Mu Xi quickly wrapped her arms around Ouyang Zhirou, preventing her from leaving. While holding her back, she dialed Zhao Lun on speakerphone. "Zhao Lun, you need to get here now! If you don’t hurry, Ouyang Zhirou is going to commit murder!"
At that moment, I was happily playing duo with Hu Yao at home when the phone rang. I jumped up in shock. "What? Murder? I’m on my way!"
The thought racing through my mind was only one thing: who was foolish enough to provoke her?
I didn’t even have time to change out of my tank top and shorts; I threw on some flip-flops and rushed to school.
News of the incident spread quickly throughout the school, prompting an urgent response from security personnel to disperse the crowd and prevent any further trouble.
In the Rehearsal Room sat three girls and one boy: Hua Yu Yan, Lin Mu Xi, Ouyang Zhirou, and the principal.
The principal was late; given the situation, if he didn’t arrive soon, who knew what might happen next? Besides, he was well aware of who Ouyang Zhirou's father was.
"I'm sorry, Xuejie. I didn’t mean to cause you any trouble. He’s my fan, and I feel partially responsible for what happened," Hua Yu Yan apologized to Ouyang Zhirou. To show her sincerity, she bowed deeply.
Seeing this, the principal quickly chimed in, "Yes, Zhi Rou, look—she’s apologizing. Why don’t we just let this go? There’s really no need for it to escalate into something serious."
The principal's main purpose for being there wasn’t just fear of Ouyang Xiong; he also wanted to act as a mediator.
Ouyang Zhirou’s eyes burned with fury as she furrowed her brow and pressed her lips into a tight line. "I’ve said it before: there are debts that have a source. I admit I hit him, but what are you all trying to do here? Are you trying to morally blackmail me?"
"It’s not like that at all! We just want this matter settled peacefully. The person has been hit; anger has been vented. Let’s just move on," someone attempted to reason.
Ouyang Zhirou stood up abruptly from her chair, causing it to topple over behind her. Her face turned pale as an icy rage radiated from her being. She shouted in a voice filled with fury, "I’ve told you this has nothing to do with you! Can’t you understand human language? Do I need to call Ouyang Xiong over here to explain it?"
As soon as those words left her mouth, the room fell into a heavy silence; no one dared speak. The temperature dropped along with the tension in the air.
Not only did the principal and Hua Yu Yan remain silent, but Lin Mu Xi also held her tongue, fearing that even well-meaning comments might be misinterpreted by Ouyang Zhirou and escalate things further.
This was the first time Lin Mu Xi had seen Ouyang Zhirou like this; she didn’t know how to counsel her and could only silently wish for Zhao Lun to arrive quickly.
It takes a few minutes to get from my house to school, and I kept urging the driver to go faster, worried that Lin Mu Xi might lose control over Ouyang Zhirou.
"Come on, kid, there's no rush. There are so many traffic lights around here. It’s not like I can just ignore them," he replied.
"I'll pay you extra! Just hurry up, please! It's really important—lives are at stake!"
The driver immediately released the handbrake, his foot practically pressing down on the accelerator as if it could merge with the fuel tank. "Don't worry, kid! It’s not just about the money; I genuinely enjoy helping others!"
