Chapter 403 — I've Come for Wei Zhao

When Feng Xiaoxiao went to the academic affairs office to complete her enrollment paperwork, she gave Wang Zhifeng quite a fright! Though he had already received a call from Zhang Dingbing, who said that someone had pulled strings to arrange for a student to be admitted and asked him to receive her, Wang Zhifeng had never expected that student to be Feng Xiaoxiao!

Wang Zhifeng knew Feng Xiaoxiao's notorious reputation all too well. Not long after she first entered the middle school division, she had kicked a rich young master in the balls — shattering them — for trying to cop a feel. Before much time had passed, she had stabbed a local thug who had come from off campus to rob the school, leaving him badly wounded!

Neither incident had been Feng Xiaoxiao's fault, nor had she gone looking for trouble, but they had caused an enormous stir nonetheless. Had Ding Bingbing not said that someone high up was protecting her, Feng Xiaoxiao would likely have been expelled outright.

Fortunately, after staying a few days and finding it dull — no worthy opponents — Feng Xiaoxiao had simply transferred away. Her fearsome name, however, had already been made.

Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang were both vicious young toughs who fought for dominance, but neither was as savage as Feng Xiaoxiao. A girl who would dare stab someone with a knife — truly beyond the reckoning of common sense...

And on top of that, this ferocious little girl seemed to have connections; after two such incidents she still hadn't been expelled. Who would dare provoke her for no reason?

Wang Zhifeng was at his wit's end. Against Feng Xiaoxiao he had no recourse whatsoever — his authority as director was utterly gone. Wei Zhao alone was already more than he could handle, and now here came Feng Xiaoxiao too? At least Wei Zhao didn't stir up much trouble — he only occasionally held hands with a girl right in front of him — but this Feng Xiaoxiao had dared stab someone with a knife in his very presence...

Was he even still the director? Why not just let Feng Xiaoxiao be director? The students feared her far more than they feared him!

"Student Feng Xiaoxiao... welcome back..." Wang Zhifeng said, his words not matching his heart. Even the principal had put in a word; what could a mere academic affairs director say? He could only offer a welcome he did not mean.

"Director Wang, from the look of you, it seems you're not exactly glad to see me?" Feng Xiaoxiao said, smiling sweetly at Wang Zhifeng.

"Uh... well... how could that be!" Wang Zhifeng said with a bitter smile. As academic affairs director, he really was a failure.

"Hehe, don't worry, Director Wang. I'm mainly here to find someone this time — I won't give you any trouble!" Seeing Wang Zhifeng's miserable, bitter-melon expression, Feng Xiaoxiao explained, hoping to set his mind at ease.

"Oh... looking for someone, is it? That's fine then. Which class do you want to be in?" Wang Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a matter of finding someone, that would be easy enough.

"Class? I don't know either... Oh, right — do you know which class Wei Zhao is in?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked suddenly.

"Lin... Wei Zhao?" Wang Zhifeng started. "You... the person you're looking for is him?"

"That's right. Is there a problem?" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded, then complained like a wronged wife: "I'm here for him, all right. Hmph, I've finally caught him. I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!"

No wonder Feng Xiaoxiao was so worked up — she had searched the whole of Songshan City only to discover that Wei Zhao had been at her old school all along...

"Thud..." At the name Wei Zhao, Wang Zhifeng nearly collapsed on the spot. "You... you've come looking for Wei Zhao?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.

"Nothing..." Wang Zhifeng waved his hand feebly and sighed, then processed Feng Xiaoxiao's enrollment. Inwardly, though, he was wondering: why was Feng Xiaoxiao looking for Wei Zhao? From the look on her face earlier, she seemed like a woman who had been dumped — surely she wasn't here to get back together with him?

But then what about Tang Zhi? Were they caught up in one of those legendary love triangles? Wang Zhifeng's head throbbed. It seemed he was in for plenty of headaches from now on, with Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao thrown together... Ah, he could only leave it to fate!

Once the enrollment paperwork was done, Wang Zhifeng led Feng Xiaoxiao to the door of Class Five, Senior Three, nodded to the homeroom teacher, Teacher Liu, and then personally escorted Feng Xiaoxiao into the classroom. "I'd like to introduce a new classmate to everyone — Feng Xiaoxiao. Let's give her a round of applause!"

Apart from Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu, almost no one knew anything about Feng Xiaoxiao — her exploits were too far in the past, and most of the class had only arrived at the school in high school, so the name Feng Xiaoxiao meant little to them.

The boys in the class, however, were in something of an uproar! It had to be said that Feng Xiaoxiao's sweet, delicate looks were thoroughly deceiving. Had they not known her fearsome reputation, they would have taken her for an adorable little girl...

She had every bit the potential to become a school beauty on par with Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Tang Zhi — that was the boys' first impression!

"Hello, everyone! I do hope we'll all get along!" Feng Xiaoxiao flashed a sweet smile.

Zhong Yongliang broke out in goosebumps at once. Hearing those words come out of Feng Xiaoxiao's mouth struck him as deeply sinister. Pretty as she was, he had no designs on her whatsoever — getting one's balls kicked in was no laughing matter.

"Classmate Feng Xiaoxiao, you'll sit..." Teacher Liu was mentally sorting through seating arrangements for her. Feng Xiaoxiao was not tall, so Teacher Liu meant to put her as far forward as possible.

Students who transferred in at this point were usually here to study, making their final sprint toward the college entrance exams, and since this Feng Xiaoxiao had been personally escorted in by Director Wang, she surely had some backing behind her.

"No need, I can find my own seat!" Before Teacher Liu could finish, Feng Xiaoxiao headed straight for the back row of the classroom.

Wei Zhao frowned. He had felt all along that this Feng Xiaoxiao looked familiar, and now, watching her walk toward him, something suddenly clicked. This girl — wasn't she the punk chick in the Audi TT he had run into in front of the snack street that day?

Her outfit today was nowhere near as outrageous as before; she looked much cuter than that day. But on closer inspection, she was unmistakable.

Damn! Wei Zhao was now eighty percent certain this girl had come for him. Had he gone and provoked yet another headache?

Every boy in the class watched with envious eyes as Feng Xiaoxiao plopped herself down in the last row, in the empty seat beside Wei Zhao. Only Zhong Yongliang smirked inwardly. Wei Zhao, someone's finally here to put you in your place — that's what you get for crossing me!

"Wei Zhao, we meet again!" The sweet little thing had barely sat down before she bared her fangs. Feng Xiaoxiao glared at Wei Zhao. "You thought I'd never track you down, didn't you?"

"What are you talking about? Are you brain-dead? Do I even know you?" Wei Zhao lifted his eyelids lazily, gave Feng Xiaoxiao a glance, and spoke without a shred of courtesy.
