บท 36: Confidence or Arrogance
บรรณาธิการ: Henyee Translations
"Gu Ning, come out here for a moment."
The head teacher asked Gu Ning to come out the minute she arrived. Gu Ning knew it must be because of what had happened tonight.
The minute Gu Ning walked out of the classroom, the head teacher asked her in anger, "Why did you do that in the canteen? Why did you hit another schoolmate? And why did you accept the challenge of Hao Ran, Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping, who're from the seventh classroom? Do you know this is a big deal now, which has a bad impact on both you and our class?"
Facing the head teacher's questions and anger, Gu Ning wasn't mad at all. She explained with patience instead, "Professor Zhang, it was because Gu Xiaoxiao has humiliated me and my mother first, then I hit her in the canteen. How can I be able to tolerate the humiliation like that? As for Hao Ran and his friends, they will never leave me alone if I didn't accept the challenge. I would rather face the trouble at the very beginning."
Zhang Qiuhua actually knew Gu Ning's condition. She knew other students always bullied Gu Ning. However, since nothing severe had happened, she ignored all of them.
It was understandable that Gu Ning would fight back.
Though she believed it had been too over, Gu Ning had made the right choice for herself. Zhang Qiuhua didn't know what to say.
But, she still couldn't accept the fact that Gu Ning had accepted the challenge of Hao Ran. "Gu Ning, can you, a girl win over the three boys? Besides, the school won't allow students to fight. You'll be punished for that, and our class also will be criticized," Zhang Qiuhua said.
Hearing that, Gu Ning was a little shocked. She totally forgot she would be punished for fighting, and her class would also be criticized for her behavior.
"But I've promised them already. If I regret, Hao Ran will revenge on me." Gu Ning felt she had been cornered.
"You, my blood is boiling now." Gu Ning really pissed Zhang Qiuhua off. Although Gu Ning was the reason of all these troubles, Hao Ran was the major cause, Zhang Qiuhua couldn't blame Gu Ning for all.
She also wasn't that cold-blooded to see Gu Ning revenged by Hao Ran only because Gu Ning regretted.
If Hao Ran was going to take revenge on Gu Ning, even the school couldn't stop him.
"How about this? I can go have the fight with Hao Ran outside the school, then no one will be punished," Gu Ning said.
"You…" Zhang Qiuhua was still displeased. "Gu Ning, how could you be so dumb! How can you be so sure that you can win Hao Ran and his friends? What if you're hurt, and your mother will be worried? Can your family afford the medical treatment?"
Zhang Qiuhua had told the plain truth. She had no intention to insult Gu Ning, but it's for Gu Ning's good.
Gu Ning understood her teacher cared about her, so she wasn't annoyed. Gu Ning replied with pure confidence, "Please don't worry about that. I am going to win them, really."
It was hard for Zhang Qiuhua to believe, but she knew it was meaningless to continue this topic, so she said, "Good luck."
After that Zhang Qiuhua stopped talking to Gu Ning, and left in anger.
Gu Ning shrugged her shoulders resignedly and went back to her classroom.
Although everyone in the classroom was all ears to listen to Zhang Qiuhua criticizing Gu Ning, Zhang Qiuhua kept her voice low and no one actually heard anything. They only saw Zhang Qiuhua leave in anger.
Gu Ning, instead, was super calm from the very beginning to the end, and wasn't sad or scared of being criticized at all. Everyone was puzzled.
When Gu Ning walked inside, most of the students focused on her face wanting to figure out what had happened.
Because the head teacher was gone, the classroom wasn't that quiet any longer. It wasn't one of the top classes, thus those students didn't enjoy studying very much.
"Hey, Gu Ning, are you sure you're going to win them?" A male student sat in front of Gu Ning turning back to ask her in doubt.
"Exactly! one vs. three, that's really something!" Another male student added with admiration.
"You have the great gesture. Do you have the same great ability?" Someone poured cold water on Gu Ning.
"Exactly, I'm not positive about that," another one agreed.
…
Most of the students didn't believe Gu Ning would succeed. Gu Ning ignored them, but Yu Mixi couldn't stay quiet any more. She retorted for the first time, "I believe in Gu Ning. I think she'll win."
Gu Ning smiled a little. Yu Mixi made her progress.
"So what? You believe in her doesn't mean she'll win," a classmate argued.
"Exactly, I don't believe," someone said.
"We'll all find out tomorrow noon. It's too early to deny Gu Ning's ability now! Let's wait and see!" Yu Mixi argued.
Those who weren't positive turned quiet gradually. Some still wanted to pour cold water, but the head teacher returned. They had to close their mouth.
In the house of the Gu family, a room was decorated in a dreamy way like it was a princess's room. Gu Xiaoxiao was in a pink nightgown, lying on a big pink bed with a phone in her hands. She was watching the video sent by Chen Ziyao, and felt it was a pity that she hadn't been there herself.
Gu Xiaoxiao had the same reaction as Chen Ziyao. She felt extremely unhappy about Gu Ning's confidence, and didn't believe Gu Ning could win Hao Ran and his friends. She was gloating now.
She couldn't wait to see Gu Ning beaten down on the ground tomorrow noon.
Moreover, she was waiting for the apologies from Gu Ning. Gu Xiaoxiao decided to spare no effort to pick on Gu Ning. If Gu Ning wouldn't apologize, or she wasn't satisfied, she would persuade her grandma to kick Gu Ning and her mother out of the old house.
The next morning, Gu Xiaoxiao waited at the stairs for Gu Ning. She wanted to seize the chance to make fun of Gu Ning. After a long time, Gu Ning was still absent. Gu Xiaoxiao was losing her patience.
"The morning class is about to begin. Is Gu Ning terrified to come to school today?" Gu Xiaoxiao assumed.
"Who knows!" Chen Ziyao was sure.
It was two minutes away from the morning class, Gu Ning appeared with Mu Ke and Yu Mixi.
Seeing Mu Ke, Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao was more jealous of Gu Ning now. Mu Ke had been their friend before, but now he chose Gu Ning over them.
Besides, Mu Ke was from a better family than them. They wanted to cooperate with Mu Ke. Unexpectedly, Mu Ke would stand up for Gu Ning against them.
Mu Ke and Yu Mixi felt unpleasant when they noticed Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao were here. Gu Ning stayed calm as usual.
"Gu Ning, I've heard that you're going to fight with those three boys this noon. One vs. three even. You're bold and confident enough to do so, but are you really being confident, or you're simply arrogant?" Gu Xiaoxiao said unkindly.
บท 37: In the Fight

"I'm always confident." Gu Ning didn't want to hide her confidence.
"You…" Gu Xiaoxiao hated Gu Ning most when she stayed so calm before the storm came. Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to tear Gu Ning apart, "Gu Ning, keep pretending! I'll go and see how you become a loser right before my eyes! And if you don't apologize for what you've done yesterday, you'll pay for it! "
Gu Xiaoxiao clenched her teeth out of anger and hatred.
"I will never apologize. Do whatever you want to. I'm waiting," Gu Ning replied airily. Then she ignored Gu Xiaoxiao, throwing her a provocative look, and walked away.
"You…" Gu Xiaoxiao was mad. She didn't expect Gu Ning would dare to do that. She shouted at Gu Ning back, "Great, Gu Ning, you'll regret!"
"Gu Ning, is it really going to be alright?" Yu Mixi asked in worry. She was concerned Gu Ning and her mother would be homeless.
"Don't worry. It's fine," Gu Ning replied.
Gradually, Yu Mixi had pure trust in Gu Ning. Since Gu Ning had said it would be fine, she would not doubt it.
Mu Ke gave Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao a cold glance, then went back to his classroom.
Some students still believed Gu Ning would not come to school today. When Gu Ning showed up, they were all surprised.
Wasn't Gu Ning afraid at all?
In the morning, Gu Ning had received many curious looks from others, their head teacher included. They all wanted to see fear from Gu Ning's face, but failed. Gu Ning was at ease, like nothing had happened.
When the last class in the morning was about to over, the head teacher couldn't help asking Gu Ning, "Are you really that confident?"
"I never do anything without being fully-prepared," Gu Ning answered with solemnity.
The head teacher had nothing else to say. She left in quietness.
The appointed time was 1 pm. Gu Ning decided to eat first after the classes were over.
When Gu Ning and her friends went upstairs, Hao Ran and his friends stopped them. They actually didn't mean to limit Gu Ning's freedom. They simply followed Gu Ning in case she would run away.
Gu Ning felt resigned. Could anyone has any trust on her?
"Do you plan to buy me, your boss, a meal first?" Gu Ning looked at them, joking.
"Gu Ning, don't be so confident. It's too early to say that," Hao Ran retorted. Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping glared at Gu Ning at the same time.
Actually, those three boys weren't aggressive normally. However, whenever they encountered Gu Ning, they were easily irritated.
Probably because Gu Ning was being too calm, which made them feel like they hadn't been taken seriously.
Or probably because Gu Ning's calmness showed her confidence, which made them feel nervous unconsciously. Therefore, they would fight against her confidence by arguing.
"Aren't you confident?" Gu Ning asked them.
"You…" Hao Ran and his friends suddenly realized Gu Ning had outstanding ability to piss someone off.
Everyone around them started to discuss.
"Gu Ning isn't scared at all! She's even in the mood of joking."
Gu Xiaoxiao, Shao Feifei and their friends all wanted Gu Ning to fail. Seeing Gu Ning being so confident, they were greatly displeased.
"I think she's pretending!" Gu Xiaoxiao said.
"Exactly, she's merely pretended to be relaxed."
…
Shao Feifei wanted to mock at Gu Ning, but she restricted herself for Mu Ke was here.
However, Mu Ke never glanced at her from the very beginning to the end. Shao Feifei was disappointed. She wanted to talk to him, but Gu Ning and Yu Mixi were here as well.
"Since you're already here, why not…" Gu Ning proposed.
"What?" Hao Ran and his friends asked with one accord.
"I don't want to be punished for fighting inside the school, thus we'll fight outside. Since we all haven't had meal yet, why don't we have the fight first, and the loser will buy the meal. Plus the precious condition stays the same," Gu Ning said in a provocative way.
"Very well," Hao Ran and his friends agreed.
"There's a newly-demolished ruin at the opposite side of the back door of our school. There are few people around. Let's go there!" Then, Gu Ning moved first, followed by Mu Ke and Yu Mixi. Hao Ran and his friends were behind.
The onlookers wouldn't miss that. All of the 40 students in the fourth classroom were here, along with Gu Xiaoxiao and her friends and dozens of students from other classrooms.
A group of people moved outside attracted much attention.
It wasn't usual to see such a large gathering of students in the school. Many people immediately knew there was going to be a fight.
Those cowards all stayed away, while those who wanted to see a drama followed up. Accordingly, a group of dozens of students became a group of hundreds. The security guards of the school also noticed that.
But unless someone got hurt, they wouldn't do anything about it.
Gu Ning and others went straight to the ruin.
Everyone was excited when they arrived at the ruin, pulling out a phone, preparing to shoot.
Although Mu Ke and Yu Mixi chose to believe in Gu Ning, they felt anxious. They didn't want her to be injured.
"Boss, fighting!"
"Gu Ning, fighting!"
When Mu Ke and Yu Mixi tried to encourage Gu Ning, their voices were trembling a little.
"Just trust me," Gu Ning comforted them. Her determined voice calmed Mu Ke and Yu Mixi down a lot.
"Shall we stop when it's necessary, or shall we fight to the end?" Before they started, Gu Ning asked.
"As long as someone fall on the ground, he or she loses." Hao Ran didn't want to go too far, given that Gu Ning was a girl.
Gu Ning had a great impression of Hao Ran's behavior, but she also knew they still didn't take her seriously enough.
If one didn't take his opponent seriously, he would lose in any kind of fight.
"Great, then, let's begin!"
Gu Ning announced the beginning, and both sides moved.
Gu Ning moved extremely fast. Before everyone could see it clearly, Gu Ning came straight to Zhang Tianping's face. She threw Zhang Tianping over her shoulder without hesitation.
Zhang Tianping, who was a tall strong boy, was easily thrown over by Gu Ning's shoulder to the ground. Everyone was in a shock.
Zhang Tianping himself was struck dumb too. He still had no idea what had happened when he was thrown to the floor.
Obviously, Gu Ning had seized her chance when Zhang Tianping didn't take her seriously.
Those boys were real fighter actually. If they were fully-prepared, it would cost Gu Ning more time to deal with them.
