Huang Weijian is the new transfer student . He is wearing a worn sweater under the school uniform . His bangs cover most of his face . If so, he only looks like an introverted little boy . However, he carries an old bag all day . As a result, one month later, he takes the place of Lin Luodong and becomes the one to be bullied in Class Three, Grade Six .
Now, it is break time . Ma Ming, a chubby boy, thinks that Huang is unpleasant to his eyes . Ma goes to pick up a fight . Huang Weijian is so introverted that no matter what Ma Ming says, he says nothing in return . Ma is annoyed by Huang’s reaction .
The situation gets intensified in the next few minutes . Ma Ming asks his minions to tear Huang’s books .
“Hey, we’re all classmates . Don’t go that far!”
Before saying this, Lin Luodong has hesitated and felt scared . When he actually opened his mouth, he realized that it was not so difficult .
Ma Ming and his minions paused and then burst out of laugh .
“Lin Luodong, just mind your own business! You think you’re better than us after going on a trip this summer vacation? Bullshit! The pictures of yours must be downloaded from the internet! Stop pretending to be rich!”
Lin Luodong has a good temper . But Ma Ming is being so aggressive . His arrogant tone makes Luodong want to punch him . This summer, Luodong went on a trip from the north to the south with his sister . He got to feel the beauty of nature . Luodong cherishes the days of living in the mountains so he printed the pictures he took .
Recently, in order to help Luodong become more independent, Lin Luoran has asked him to do things by himself . Therefore, days ago, Luodong went to fetch the pictures from the photo studio during lunch break and he planned to take the pictures back home after school . Unfortunately, his desk mate knocked the pictures off on the ground by accident . Many of Luodong’s classmates saw the butterflies and dewdrops on flowers, as well as Luodong’s sister’s side face . Luodong’s classmates, who used to look down on him, were stunned .
Kids today know that SLR cameras are expensive . After knowing that Luodong went to Mount Hua with his sister, everyone in Luodong’s class realized that Luodong was not from a poor rural family .
As a matter of fact, Luodong’s classmates are only teenagers . They are not snobby . They only treated Luodong badly because they were laughed at every time they tried to talk to Luodong . This was all Ma Ming and his minions’ fault .

Everyone started to treat Luodong better after seeing those pictures . Ma Ming was unwilling to let this go . He questioned the authenticity of those pictures in order to isolate Lin Luodong .
Luodong never bothers to argue or explain because he has become an optimistic person . Now, Ma Ming is bullying his classmate again, and somebody speaks up for Lin Luodong .
Luodong’s desk mate, study secretary of the class, stands up and says,
“Ma Ming, you were wrong in the first place by tearing Huang Weijian’s book . And you talked so offensively . You’ve gone too far!”
Ma Ming opens his eyes widely and answers, “Wei Xue, this is between us boys! It’s none of your business! I told you Lin Luodong was from a poor rural family and he only pretended to be rich… Have you fallen in love with him? Is that why you care so much? Wei Xue, I didn’t know that you’re such a snob!”
Wei Xue feels so wronged for being accused of a snob . She has never felt so disrespected since she was selected as the study secretary . Her eyes are filled with tears .
Some of the classmates are looking at her with doubts . Thinking about what her cousins told her about “premature love”, Wei Xue starts to cry .
Ma Ming and his minions laugh and throw Huang Weijian’s pencil box into the waste bin . They walk to Lin Luodong and say,
“Wei Xue is just a weak little girl . Lin Luodong, you should pretend to be rich after getting yourself a tougher backup . Hha…”
“I don’t need a backup . ” Lin Luodong says seriously, staring at Ma Ming .
“Pardon?” Ma Ming didn’t hear Lin’s words clearly . Maybe he did but he didn’t believe that Lin Luodong could be so tough . This is the reason why he asked Lin to repeat his words .

Lin Luodong sighs and says, “I don’t need a backup . And… I’m going to hit you . ” Luodong is not able to throw a hard punch, but his move has become so fast after all the mountain-climbing during the summer vacation . Ma Ming doesn’t have a chance to dodge Luodong’s attack .
“Ouch!” Ma Ming covers his nose and falls back . His minions catch him and help him up when he is falling on the ground . Ma Ming didn’t expect that Lin Luoran would have the balls to hit him . After all, Ma believed that Lin Luodong was a coward because he never fought back when he was bullied .
More importantly, what kind of person would say “I’m going to hit you” when he actually hits someone?
Ma Ming feels that something warm is in his hand . He looks down at his palm and sees blood . His nose is bleeding! Ma Ming now finally has a different impression on Lin Luodong .
“Hit him! Hit him to death!”
Ma Ming’s minions hesitate . Seeing this, Ma Ming says, “I’ll give all of you a treat at the dinner!”
Because of the treat, Ma’s minions don’t hesitate anymore . They rush at Lin Luodong . Little boys fight randomly . Luodong is stronger than his peers because he has been eating vegetables from Lin Luoran’s space for years . Even so, he doesn’t stand a chance of beating all these people .
Seeing that the fight is becoming fiercer, the bystanders in the classroom want to go and tell the teachers about this . They are stopped by Ma Ming, whose nose is still bleeding . Ma says, “I’ll beat whoever tries to tell the teachers about this!” Then he casts a vicious glance at Wei Xue .
Wei Xue looks at Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian, who starts all of this but does nothing to help . She shouts, “Huang Weijian, can you act like a man?”
Huang had tried a few times to fetch his worn bag but failed . He looks at Wei Xue seriously and answers, “I’m just a boy…”
This is the first time that Huang ever says anything in the class . However, Wei Xue gets angry while being surprised — as the top student of the class, she hates to see her classmates fight with each other . Moreover, she thinks that Huang Weijian, who accepted the favor of Lin Luodong and didn’t help Lin in return, is more repulsive .

Of course, Huang Weijian has noticed the disdain from the study secretary . He looks at his bag again and feels at ease — no matter what, he is already disdained . Huang thinks that he is not obliged to help Lin Luodong .
Huang Weijian tries to convince himself . However, looking at Lin Luodong, who is now in a fight because of him, Huang lowers his head in order to hide the guilt in his eyes .
When Lin Luodong is fighting Ma’s minions, Ma Ming wipes the blood on his face and feels proud of himself . A voice comes from outside of the window .
“Mr . Qiu… Is this what you called a harmonious class?”
The voice sounds so pleasant and familiar . Lin Luoran is surprised and he is hit on the face by another kid . His mouth starts to bleed .
“Stop fighting!”
Mr . Qiu, headteacher of Class Three, Grade Six, pushes the chubby little boy by the door aside . He feels that his face is red because of the embarrassment . One second ago, he was telling this pretty woman about how good the teachers were and how loving Class Three was . This naughty student slaps his face by fighting each other . As a single man, Mr . Qiu is furious .
The worse thing is, the boy this pretty woman comes to see is being beaten up by a bunch of other students . Mr . Qiu wants to hide himself .
No matter how aggressive the kids act in front of their classmates, they are afraid of the teachers, especially the headteacher of their class . The boys stop fighting and talking .
“Tell me . What was this about?” Mr . Qiu is furious but he tries to maintain his image .
Wei Xue tells Mr . Qiu everything that happened . Mr . Qiu is in a pickle . Though Lin Luodong was righteous, he did throw the first punch . What should he do…?
Lin Luodong peeks at the door . His sister is standing there emotionlessly . Luodong’s heart starts pounding .
Wei Xue suddenly realizes, “You are Lin Luodong’s sister!” This girl does have a good memory . She can even recognize Lin Luoran from the picture of her side face . Now, Ma Ming and his minions, as well as Huang Weijian, all look at the woman by the door with surprise .
Lin Luodong’s sister looks like a movie star! God! Why is she not my sister?
Ma Ming thinks with exasperation . Thinking of the fact that he beat Lin Luodong in front of his beautiful sister, Ma Ming feels awkward .
Huang Weijian looks at Lin Luoran and turns his eyes away immediately . He doesn’t know that Lin Luoran is checking on him secretly .
Lin Luoran draws her attention back from this introverted boy with long bangs . She smiles and says, “Just go by the book . Luodong is ignorant . I’m sorry that he caused trouble . ”
Lin Luodong is relaxed but Ma Ming and his minions are depressed . They go with Mr . Qiu to the office .
Wei Xun walks in the back . She says while crying, “It’s not Luodong’s fault . Ma Ming was the one who started this . He bullied Huang Weijian and me… Luodong hit him because of this . ”
Lin Luoran nods to let the little girl know that she believes her . Wei Xue catches up with the others — she is the witness . She must go to the office .
In fact, Lin Luoran is paying attention to Huang Weijian . As the cause of this fight, this little boy is too low-pitched . Nevertheless, this boy has been bullied and his books have been torn apart . Lin Luoran is curious about how Huang Weijian is able to withhold his temper in front of all the “provocation” .
Lin Luoran remembers that Huang is transferred to this school at the beginning of this semester . Is this a coincidence or an arrangement?
Lin Luoran squints . People who know her well understand that this is a signal of danger .
