Wang Jingyu's POV:

My heart was racing, I had just finished touring the group and left through the back door and found Qin Xuefeng and Sun Liming by the exit waiting for me,

"Oh, hey girls, what's up?" I said while sliding my jacket on and starting to walk towards the side entrance near the lobby, Xuefeng and Liming chased after me,

"Why did you run away from him?" asked Liming

"From who?"

"He Feng, who else?!" exclaimed Xuefeng while pulling on my collar.

"Oh, him? He's a pervert that's why,"

"No, he's not, me and Liming both have known him since pre-school, and he's never made a move on us even though we're the most beautiful girls in the entire school!" shouted Xuefeng pulling on my collar even more,

"OW, my neck! Geez why you are pulling so hard?!"

"Can't you at least put up with him?" questioned Liming while fidgeting with the scissor in her hand.

"Are you trying to set me up with a pervert, like what kind of friend does that?!"

"A friend who knows that the man she's setting up her friend with is not a pervert!"

"Excuse me?!!!" I shouted before sprinting off towards the West Wing entrance with tears pouring from my eyes, I thought they were true friends, friends that I could trust, people who wouldn't force me to be with a pervert or set me up with someone who stalked me day and night, making me too scared to even sleep and only sleep when around 12 in the morning, traitors, I thought while tears continued to fall and I slammed the entrance door open and slowed down my steps while walking towards a seat on one of the lobby sofas, I took out my phone from a pocket in my jacket and stared at it while scrolling Pinterest and looking at pins on Omniscient Reader's viewpoint, or on MDZS, bored while the tears from earlier dried on my face, tear streaks still visible. 

I saw a notification from Messages and opened it, it was a message from Xuefeng, ugh, what does she want I thought while opening the text and seeing a definition on "pervert", which clearly describe He Feng himself and the way he acted towards almost all the girls, even the younger ones who just started school. How can Xuefeng and Liming think of He Feng as "normal", they even call him "Fengfeng" for goodness' sake, I thought while anger steamed in my heart.

I looked to my side and saw a concerned Zhang Jian, who from my past experience has always been a kind and respectful person to be around and isn't like He Feng at all, if I had to choose between the two, I would choose Zhang Jian with no second thoughts, butterflies filled my stomach again, could I maybe actually like Zhang Jian? But he doesn't even know me, or remember me, he is a rather nice person from what I know right now and in the past when we were still friends.

I turned my head and stared at my phone again, this time more messages were directed towards me, Xuefeng and Liming even made a group chat with He Feng and gave my number to him! I can't even describe my anger right now in how painful it is knowing that all three of them keep pestering me to get together with He Feng when my closest friends don't even know what I had to go through. Tears fell out of my eyes unknowingly and a gentle voice spoke above me,

"Are you okay?"

"Ya, just tired," I said with little to no emotion when speaking to Zhang Jian, my heart thumping, scared that he would see through the mask I put on regularly.

"You should probably stop looking at your phone,"

"Why?"

"It seems that the things on your phone are making you feel distressed"

I gulped, he did see through my mask! Sometimes I wished others would understand me and my thoughts, while other times I wished to be ignored and just sleep through the day reminiscing on my wrongdoings and how to fix them.

"It's fine" I said with a sad but gentle smile, trying to convince him that I was and would be fine no matter what happened.

"Alright... though I still think you should get off your phone and distract yourself with something else, perhaps arts and crafts, or we could go for a walk? It's up to you,"

I sat, slowly contemplating the options he gave me while staring at the white, bare wall that stood apart from the rest, full of trophies and medals from former and current students.

"Maybe a run..."

"Great! let's go now!" Zhang Jian happily said while standing up,

"Now?"

"Yes now!" he said while dragging me up from the seat and started walking towards the door,

"Race you!" he shouted loudly while pushing open the door behind him and sprinted off towards the school's track field.

"Hey, wait for me!"

I snickered to myself, feeling a worry lift off my chest, happiness filling my soul and heart while running after him, thinking to myself how wonderful it would be if every day could be like this, then sliding down the grass hill towards the field where the sun shined the brightest as if the weather knew how much happier I was in this moment.

---------------------------------------------------

*Pants softly* 

"That was fun!" I smiled while sweat covered my forehead and neck with the temperature warmer than it was this morning,

"Yeah, it seems as if your also mentally better as well, we should do this more often"

"Hehe, sure why not"

As Zhang Jian and I headed back towards the school's main campus I could hear voices gossiping around us,

"Did you hear? He Feng is being questioned!"

"Why though?"

"Do you not know; rumor is that he's been harassing many girls and even guys who like the girl he's harassing, and the school doesn't want to be sued by other students' parents so they're now suspending him for the moment!"

"Really! What if he did indeed harass them, what happens then?"

"Then he'll be expelled" the voices giggled with joy in the hopes that the pervert would be expelled due to the amount of harassment he has done to many students in the past.

Another worry lifted off my chest, the delight I felt was plastered all over my face, luck was on my side and Zhang Jian was like a protective shield giving me the opportunity to feel relief and be free from the troubles that had happened hours before.

The luck from earlier quickly faded away as when we reached the entrance Xuefeng, Liming, and He Feng were all waiting and tried to get Zhang Jian to leave,

"Shoo, shoo, you're not needed here,"

"Ya, we need to talk to Jingyu privately"

I looked at Zhang Jian, pain and fear in my eyes, as if noticing that I didn't feel as comfortable with them like before Zhang Jian looked at me with worry then faced my "former" friends, people who if I cut off from my life now, I wouldn't feel any regret.

"How 'bout we talk about whatever you guys want peacefully and in a civilized manner, also He Feng, don't you have to talk to the school council or something" Zhang Jian quickly said in a calm but direct manner, with the intent of not leaving my side.

My heart skipped a beat, what was this feeling, my mind confused, and all didn't even here the argument Xuefeng and Liming were having with Zhang Jian, which then when they noticed that he wouldn't leave changed into a seducing gesture, as if they thought if Zhang Jian liked one of them, he would ignore me and let them continue their harassment.

"Jingyu, Jingyu!" voices around me shouted my name breaking me out the trance I was in,

"Huh? What?!"

"Do you want Zhang Jian to be here when we talk?" the dangerous aura around Xuefeng made me worry at what to answer, but my inner courage beat my naturally introverted self into saying what I truthfully wanted,

"Yes, why?"

"Oh, uh, um, nothing" stuttered Xuefeng, if I wasn't in front of her and the conversation was serious, I would have been laughing my head off at how karma hit her.

The atmosphere around us went silent and awkward after I had accepted Zhang Jian into the conversation, as if none of the three naive harassers expected me to actually let him join the conversation, and how they didn't want their reputation to be broken into shatters, even if they were already in pieces.

"How 'bout we continue this conversation some other time" Zhang Jian suggested breaking down the awkwardness in the air, "Some of us still need to follow up on other things" while glancing slightly at He Feng, who was mumbling about being accused of nonsense, how he was innocent, and so on.

After He Feng, Xuefeng, and Liming went to talk to the school council, the principal, vice principal, counselor and some other important people and teachers, Zhang Jian and I went back to the lobby seeing that our tour groups arrival times were already up and how Zhang Jian got first place earning some snacks and school merchandise, while the second and third place just got smaller amounts and everyone else got nothing. 

Luck was still on my side, even when trouble appeared out of nowhere.
