Chapter 12: The Coalition of Elementary School Students

While Chen An was busy working to foil his desk mate's conspiracy, on the other side, Lu Li was not idle either.

She entered a pitch-black room and looked at the person who had been waiting for her. She spoke deliberately, enunciating each word, "There's a person, a chatterbox who talks nonsense everywhere. I hope you can make him stay silent forever."

"Well, that's not so easy."

A figure in the darkness shook their finger lightly. "Lu Li, I know your family is wealthy, but the boss I used to deal with is gone now. This place is under my control, and, well... There are certain things that can't be achieved just with money. Moreover, you want us to cause trouble on the turf of other schools. If word gets out, it won't reflect well on our school's reputation."

"Hey, why don't you turn on the lights?"

Lu Li furrowed her brows, looking at the dimly lit room. "It's so dark in here. Can you even see anything? I think I heard someone's toe hit the edge of a table when I entered, and I've been getting chills."

"You don't understand, this is called creating an atmosphere, like in movies."

The person in the shadows shook their head helplessly and signaled for one of their subordinates to turn on the lights.

Soon, Lu Li saw a somewhat unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar boy in front of her. He sat in a very arrogant posture with one leg raised, despite being seated. Although he was sitting, his height and build were clearly much larger than hers and Chen An's, who are typical third-grade elementary students.

Indeed, the man in front of Lu Li was a presence at the pinnacle of elementary school, a sixth-grade student...

Lu Li marveled at the extraordinary young student before her. The boy held a row of bottled water in his hand. Regular elementary students typically only bought one bottle and sipped from it, but this sixth-grade student was holding an entire row of bottles of bottled water! He exuded an aura that completely overwhelmed her.

Perfect! Only someone with this kind of aura could silence her meddlesome desk mate!

Quietly, Lu Li unzipped her small backpack and took out a pen case, placing it on the desk. She then pushed the pen case toward the other side.

The 'sixth-grade student' held the pen case and weighed it in his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips. He opened it, revealing a small crystal bead that looked like a work of art...

"Bro, this... this is... the Blue Starry Sky pattern!"

A slightly immature male voice exclaimed, "This is on a completely different level than those old-fashioned yellow-striped ones!"

"Enough, you look like you've never seen anything before. Stop embarrassing yourself."

After scolding the sixth-grade student, Lu Li gave him a serious look. "Tell me, will this game console be enough to motivate you guys?"

"I don't understand."

With the GB game console firmly in hand, the sixth-grade student looked at Lu Li, confused. "What kind of deep-seated grudge do you have with him? You're willing to pay such a price just to get rid of him? This is the most fun game console in the world today!"

"He's been a thorn in my side since he decided to disrupt my summer vacation plans. To prevent him from tattling on me to the teacher, I have to do something!"

Lu Li gritted her teeth, her voice dripping with resentment. "I've already thought it through. This summer vacation, I want to make friends and have fun. I want to learn swimming, catch cicadas, and have water fights with my good friends. I won't let a mere desk mate ruin this dream."

"What's wrong with you!"

The sixth-grade student looked at Lu Li in shock. "You not only have this amazing game console, but you're also not even cherishing it at home. Instead, you want to go outside?!"

Lu Li shrugged, her expression neither confirming nor denying. "You should thank my 'condition.' Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten a game console for free."

"Well, that makes sense."

The sixth-grade student solemnly put the game console into his backpack. Then, with utmost respect, he said, "Lu Li, I'll follow your plan. Tomorrow, I'll bring my friends, all sixth-grade students, and we'll block his school gate! We'll give that jerk who dared to mess with you a good beating!"

"Huh?"

Lu Li was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head repeatedly. "What are you guys thinking? How can you resort to violence and fighting? I just want him to shut up forever."

"Understood! Completely understood!"

The sixth-grade student was excited. "We'll surround him and warn him to stay quiet forever. If he doesn't get the hint, we'll make him write a pledge promising not to bother you."

"Well then, I look forward to hearing good news from you."

Lu Li waved her hand nonchalantly and then turned around in silence. The sound of uncontrollable cheers echoed behind her...

With the help of these sixth-grade students, dealing with just a third-grade student should no longer be an obstacle for her. But why wasn't she feeling happy about it?

Lu Li gazed at the sky, the words of the school's moral education teacher and the slogans of the school's principles echoing in her mind. A heavy sense of guilt made it hard for her to breathe. She even had the impulse to go back and tell the sixth-grade students to cancel the plan.

However, she quickly took a deep breath, suppressing both the guilt and the impulse, and shook her head forcefully.

It's all his fault! He insisted on opposing her, insisted on protecting those undeserving cram schools! Well! She hadn't done anything wrong.
