In a narrow alley at a corner of the campus, a tense atmosphere filled the confined space. Several tall male students surrounded a frail figure, pushing and shoving without restraint. Scattered books and notes lay on the ground. The fading sunlight barely penetrated the narrow entrance, illuminating the downcast face. He clenched his teeth, remaining silent, his fingers tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, yet not daring to resist. Just then, the crisp sound of high heels approached from afar, accompanied by a cold and authoritative voice, breaking the awkward and oppressive situation.
"Is that all you've got? A group of people ganging up on one person - what kind of heroes are you? Have you no shame?" Jiang Shiyue stood at the entrance of the alley, her tall figure silhouetted against the light, her gaze sweeping over those boys like cold ice. "Enjoying the thrill of bullying others, aren't you? Why don't you try picking on someone else?" She slightly raised her chin, her tone icy but full of authority.
Botanist, surrounded in the middle, clutched his stomach in a disheveled state, looking up at Jiang Shiyue breathlessly, his face full of shock. He wanted to speak, but Jiang Shiyue's cold gaze silenced him.
"It's none of your business!" one of the boys shouted stubbornly, yet took a step back as Jiang Shiyue slowly approached. She curved her lips into a slight smile, her voice indifferent: "I'm standing right here. Let's see who dares to make a move."
The group froze in place, then scattered awkwardly after a moment. Jiang Shiyue glanced at Botanist, impatiently reaching out to pull him up from the ground, "Stand up straight. Don't let me see you being bullied like this again."
