Fear filled their eyes, but no one dared to move forward. The arrogant and laughing faces from before had disappeared.

Jian Ai had no intention of injuring them. She slowly retracted her aura and said calmly, “This is a warning for you. If you dare to bully him in school again, I’ll beat you until your mother won’t recognize you.”

Although it was just a light and indifferent tone, it made them instinctively shrink.

Seeing that her aura seemed to have intimidated them, Jian Ai said coldly, “Get lost!”

As if they had received amnesty, they quickly helped their fallen companions up, walked around Jian Ai, and fled.

After they left, Jian Ai slowly walked to Wang Zichen, who was lying on the ground.

At this moment, Wang Zichen didn’t look up. He lay on the ground without moving, so Jian Ai could only see the back of his head.

“Hey, can you get up?” Jian Ai asked calmly.

Wang Zichen deliberately lowered his voice. “I’m fine. Leave.”

Jian Ai rolled her eyes. “Get up if there’s nothing. I won’t laugh at you, although you’re usually very annoying.”

“Ah… You’ve got the wrong person,” Wang Zichen said as he lay on the ground. “I don’t know you.”

Jian Ai was speechless.

He even wanted to play games with her?

“Alright, you’re not getting up, right?” Jian Ai said and squatted beside Wang Zichen. “I’ll look at you from here. Let’s see how long you can lie down for.”

“Can you leave first? I’ll get up after lying down for a while.” Wang Zichen’s voice was already pleading.

Obviously, he did not want Jian Ai to see him in a sorry state. After all, he was used to being arrogant in front of her. It was already embarrassing that she had to save him.

Jian Ai naturally knew what Wang Zichen was thinking. After all, he was her cousin. Even though they rarely interacted, Wang Zichen was not a complicated person, so had an understanding of his personality after interacting with him a few times.

You said he was bad? He was not bad!

It was just that they had spoiled him at home, but he could not hurt others. At most, he had some power and looked down on people who were poorer than him.

In the end, he had inherited Wang Yunzhong’s genes.

Sighing, Jian Ai didn’t force him. She only said, “Alright, I’ll be leaving now. Get up and go home soon. Be careful, they might come back later.”

With that, Jian Ai stood up and left the space.

Wang Zichen slowly raised his head when he heard the gradually leaving footsteps.

Jian Ai was gone.

He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Wang Zichen sat up with an aggrieved expression. Perhaps no one saw him, but the defense in his heart relaxed. His eyes stung, and tears flowed out.

Fortunately, he did not sit on the ground and cry. He only wiped his tears away with his hand and forced his sore body to stand up.

He limped out, but when he turned the corner, he saw Jian Ai leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. She looked at him with a faint smile.

Wang Zichen looked embarrassed and took a step back. He instinctively lowered his head to hide his red eyes. “Didn’t you leave?”

Jian Ai snorted. “I did. I was tired, so I’m resting.”

Wang Zichen: “…”

Just as he didn’t know what to say, a bottle of Coke was handed to him.
