[Chapter 064] âWhat a coincidence, I also wonât let you feel wronged.â
âThen go get changed.â
Bian JinYuan had no choice but to start changing his clothes. As he was about to remove his sweater, he suddenly noticed something and looked at Lu YunFei, âAre you just going to stand there and watch?â
Lu YunFei was confused, âIf not? Weâre all boys here. Youâre not a girl, so canât I watch?â
Bian JinYuan thought: Fine, he can watch if he wants to.
And so he calmly started to change his clothes. As Lu YunFei watched, he couldnât help but exclaim, âYour body looks quite good.â
How could Lu YunFei admit to that, âOf course not, we each have our own charms.â
Bian JinYuan laughed and looked at him fondly.
After he changed into the outfit, Lu YunFei took a look and snapped some photos on his phone, and then pressed another set of clothes for him to change into. Bian JinYuan saw the excitement in his eyes and suddenly thought about a particular type of game popular with girls, âAm IÂ Love Nikki: Dress Up Queen?â
âYou still know about Love Nikki huh,â Lu YunFei smiled, âYouâre not, youâre Love Bian Bian # .â
âLetâs go eat first, you have to work on English later on.â
âLetâs go after you change into this,â Lu YunFei urged, âQuickly quickly.â
Bian JinYuan could only change into another outfit to satisfy player Lu YunFeiâs request.
Lu YunFei felt that this outfit also looked good on him, and decided to gift him the two sets of clothes, âLetâs go eat.â
Tonight, Bian JinYuan brought two sets of clothes home. He initially didnât want to, but at Lu YunFeiâs insistence bordering on whining, Bian JinYuan had no choice but to fulfil the wishes of this RMB playerâ
. He even wore one of the outfits to school the next day.
Lu YunFei was incredibly happy to see that his Love Bian Bian had worn his clothes, and instantly understood why girls loved these dress up games. As he prepared to head for morning exercises after morning reading, he heard Li Li call him and Bian JinYuan over. Lu YunFei was puzzled, and asked her when he went over with Bian JinYuan, âWhatâs up, teacher Li?â
âDu Xin is crying in the staff office,â Li Li said, âshe claimed that you and Bian JinYuan bullied her.â
Lu YunFei: ⊠Isnât this a case of the bad guy complaining firstâ!
âShe was the one who started saying mean things first, and even started getting physical.â
âLetâs explain this at the staff office,â Li Li said, âsheâs still there.â
Lu YunFei glanced at Bian JinYuan and headed to the staff office with him.
No one other than Du Xin sat in the staff office, her eyes red-rimmed.
Li Li closed the door and let Lu YunFei and Bian JinYuan take a seat, while she sat opposite them, âAlright, just what had happened?â
âHe bullied me,â Du Xin said through tears.
Lu YunFei âhehâ-ed, âWho started scolding first? Who moved first? Was it you, student Du Xin?â
âWhat I said was the truth.â
âThen what Bian JinYuan said was also the truth.â
âHe was obviously trying to embarrass me.â
Lu YunFei couldnât be bothered to beat around the bush with her and got straight to the point, âHe wouldnât have retorted if you hadnât said all those words in the first place. Starting something by saying mean things and getting slammed back, how are you so capable.â
âIâm capable? How could I be as capable as you, youâre so skilled in bullying girls!â
âDonât,â Lu YunFei quickly said, âDonât pin such a big hat on me, I canât wear it.â
Du Xin looked at him as her tears continued to fall.
âSo, what happened yesterday was that Du Xin started the fight with words, and then Bian JinYuan scolded her back. When she later started to be physical, you both also got physical?â
âIt wasnât that serious,â Lu YunFei explained, âShe threw water at Bian JinYuan and I couldnât let that go, so I splashed her back.â
âHe poured an entire tub of water on me!â Du Xin said furiously, âTeacher Li, no matter what I did, he shouldnât have had thrown water on me in front of so many people. Iâve completely lost face, he should apologise to me.â
âI wasnât the one to start throwing water. If you hadnât made the first throw, would I have splashed you?â
âI only threw a cup of water at him, and he even dodged that.â
âAnd that was because you made the first move, wasnât it?â
âLu YunFei, do you think I canât go up against you!â
âWhat do you want to do?â Lu YunFei said frostily, âAre you trying to threaten me?â
âTeacher,â Du Xin looked at Li Li and sobbed, âlook at him,â
Li Liâs head ached. She really didnât know why so many issues cropped up unendingly around Du Xin ever since she rose to this class, with each issue involving Bian JinYuan.
âDu Xin,â Li Li advised, âThis situation canât be blamed on Lu YunFeiâs group. You made the first move and started the fight, they couldnât possibly have just stood there taking it right? So please donât be too impulsive next time.â
Du Xin looked at her in disbelief, âTeacher Li, are you shielding them?â
âIâm not shielding them,â Li Li said patiently, âYou canât expect them to just take it without retaliating simply because theyâre boys. This situation arose because of you and not them.â
Lu YunFei felt that these words were well-spoken and really wanted to give Li Li a round of applause.
Du Xin felt that this was preposterous, âIâm the one who suffered here. Teacher Li, you canât simply side with them just because they have good grades and Iâm new.â
Li Li inwardly wondered just how her claims were related, âIâm not on their side because they have good grades, and even less so because youâre new here. In my eyes, youâre all my students. It is just that this situation wasnât their fault at all. You played a part in this as well, so if you wish for them to apologise to you, then youâll need to apologise to them too.â
âMe apologise? Why should I when the one who got splashed was me! And not them!â
Li Li saw how she didnât seem to have any awareness of her wrongdoing and gave up on trying to guide her, stating, âSince itâs like this, then letâs just move on from this. Could you please not dwell on this anymore?â
Du Xin scoffed, âTeacher Li is so biased.â
Seeing as Li Li wasnât going to help her, Du Xin picked up her phone to call her father to cry about her unjust treatment by her homeroom teacher. DĂč HĂ o was so incensed that that he told her to pass the phone to Li Li so that he could speak to her directly.
Li Li was about to pick up the phone when Lu YunFei snatched it over.
âWhat are you doing?â Du Xin shouted.
Lu YunFei dodged her with a long stride of his legs and directed his words to the phone: âIâm Lu YunFei. I poured water on your daughter. She was the one to start a fight and even got physical first, yet sheâs treated unjustly? And donât even try to find our homeroom teacher. Our homeroom teacher canât afford to deal with you. You can find LĂč XiĂ ng MĂng and tell him that his son poured water on your daughter, see what he says.â
Lu YunFei immediately hung up after saying his piece and tossed the phone back to Du Xin, âDonât look for your parents for every trouble. Youâre seventeen years old, not seven years old. Arenât you able to solve your problems on your own? As I said, I havenât even flaunted yet, wait your turn to push your weight around.â
It was then when she realised that oh yeah, the Lu family was more powerful than hers. If they were to really compare, Du Xin would definitely not be in Lu YunFeiâs radar.
Lu YunFei saw that both Li Li and Du Xin were silent and said, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll go back first. Teacher Li, tell me if Du Xinâs father makes trouble for you. This matter doesnât involve you, let him come to me directly.â
Li Li: ⊠These words sounded so overbearing.
She cleared her throat and looked at Bian JinYuan who had been silent the entire time, âBian JinYuan, do you have anything to add?â
âYes,â Bian JinYuan looked at Li Li and finally spoke, âI hate Du Xin. I hope that she can give a wide berth for myself and Lu YunFei. If she tries to harass me again, I hope that you can talk to her parents. Student Du Xin may not care about the college entrance exams in favour of pursuing romance, but I care about the college entrance exams. I also hate being disturbed by others.â
His words solidified Du Xinâs romantic relationship issue.
Li Li immediately made a mental note that Du Xin had harboured intentions towards Bian JinYuan. This was a scenario which she had wanted to avoid, and so she guaranteed, âI understand. Let me know the next time Du Xin harasses you, Iâll deal with it.â
âThen you both should go. Iâll talk to Du Xin here.â
Bian JinYuan stood up and glanced at Lu YunFei as they left.
Li Li looked at the girl in front of her, âYou like Bian JinYuan?â
âThen why did you harass him?â
âI merely wanted to ask him about a question.â
âBian JinYuan wouldnât have said something like this if you were to simply ask him a question. Du Xin, Iâve taught Bian JinYuan for a year and a half and I know what kind of person he is. You definitely pestered him.â
Du Xin looked back at her and fell silent.
âThen I hope that you wonât harass him from today onwards,â Li Li said, âthe school forbids romantic relationships. If you continue in this manner, youâll be violating the school rules. Then, apart from reform education, you may even be demoted to your original class.â
Li Li further admonished, âI donât wish to call your parents, nor do I wish to have you cry to your parents that you violated the school rules, and so I wish that you would monitor your actions and stop disturbing Bian JinYuan. It wasnât easy for you to rise to class one. You donât wish to go back to class six, do you?â
âThen you had best heed my words.â
Du Xin felt wronged. Her phone rang and she reached out to pick it up only to hear her father ask, âYou had a run in with the Lu boy? Isnât he known to be a good student in your schoolâs express class, who scores full marks in Mathematics and the Sciences, and is known to be righteous? How did you clash with someone like him?â
Du Xinâs tears fell once again, as Du Hao coaxed and comforted her, âDonât be angry with him. I heard that the Lu familyâs boy has a good temper. You just have to talk to him and apologise, he will surely forgive you.â
Du Xin instantly cried even harder. Why did she have to apologise? Why did her dad want her to apologise? Why couldnât Lu YunFei apologise to her instead?
Lu YunFei sneezed with an âachooâ, and Bian JinYuan asked, âCaught a cold?â
âNope, probably someone talking bad about me,â he answered, and then said, âmaybe Du Xin.â
âThis matter originally had nothing to do with you,â Bian JinYuan said softly.
Lu YunFei didnât like hearing it, âIsnât your problem my problem too, how could it have nothing to do with me.â
âIf you hadnât thrown water at her, I wouldâve done something,â Bian JinYuan stated, âIâm not the type of person whoâs gentle and kind. I wouldnât have let myself be wronged.â
Lu YunFei looked at him, âWhat a coincidence, I also wonât let you feel wronged.â
Bian JinYuan paused for a moment.
Lu YunFeiâs smile was bright as he continued, âAnd so, donât be such a stranger.â
# The Chinese name for the mobile game Love Nikki: Dress Up Queen isć„èżčææ (qĂ jÄ« nuÇn nuÇn), which literally translates to âMiracle Nuan Nuanâ, where Nuan Nuan / Nikki is the protagonistâs name. So in actual fact, Lu YunFei had said âMiracle Bian Bianâ, but I used the English title so it became âLove Bian Bianâ.
â
 A RMB player is a type of player who spends an excessive amount of money in games to level up or attain achievements instead of using skills or hard work. RMB is short for äșșæ°ćž (rĂ©n mĂn bĂŹ), which is the currency of China. Itâs synonymous with the Chinese yuan. Here, I think Bian JinYuan is just using the term to describe Lu YunFeiâs excessive spending.
â This is a proverb, æ¶äșșć
ćç¶ (Ăš rĂ©n xiÄn gĂ o zhuĂ ng), which is a bit more than what I translated, and means that the person in the wrong goes to plead their case first in order to skew the facts and misrepresent the situation so that the actual victim doesnât get justice served.
