Neighbors watching the excitement crowded the doorway.
I squeezed in and saw my parents sitting on one side of the sofa, with the police in the middle, and a man in a suit and three middle-aged men sitting further out.
Presumably the principal and their parents.
The three little beasts were in the corner.
Two lowered their heads, and the one in the middle sat on my family's fruit box, playing with her nails boredly.
Seeing me come in, she poked her companion, pointed at me, said something unknown, and they laughed together.
"I'll fucking kill you!"
I grabbed the kettle casually and rushed over.
But was held down immediately.
One of the parents even took away my kettle.
"Let go! Or I'll kill you together!!"
The little beast in the middle hid behind her father, looking at me with a smile.
The policeman came over and patted my back:
"Young man, calm down. We are discussing how to solve your family's problem now. Don't make things worse."
I threw off the beast parent's hand:
"Okay, how do you plan to solve it?"
As soon as I said this, the atmosphere became subtle instantly.
Several people looked at each other, exchanging glances.
Definitely holding back no good intentions.
The principal pulled me aside and put his arm around my shoulder:
"Are you Lily's?"
"Brother."
"Oh, it's like this. The school takes this matter very seriously. We severely criticized Tiffany Wang and the others, and they also promised not to do it again next time. considering they are all first-time offenders, we also hope you..."
"What do you mean?" I broke free from his hand, "You want us to just let it go?"
Having his inner thoughts exposed by me, the principal looked a bit embarrassed:
"Oh, young man. We have suppressed the heat of this matter. You know, if that kind of thing spreads out, it's bad for Lily. After all, she is a girl..."
"So what?" I laughed in extreme anger, "So should our family kneel down and kowtow to you, thanking you for your great kindness? Did you suppress it for Lily, or for these little beasts?"
"Young man, you have to consider the overall situation."
"Can't consider! I only know my sister was bullied!"
At this time, a parent sneered:
"Don't you think about why among so many people in the class, only your sister would be treated like this? Maybe she did something shameful. It takes two hands to clap, you know?!"
I smashed a fist over, and colors appeared on that middle-aged man's face immediately: "Holy crap, you fucking dare to hit me!"
"I'll fucking kill you!"
I was dizzy with anger, preparing to beat him up when the police held me.
"Young man, calm down. If you injure him, you have to pay medical expenses."
Mom also came to pull me.
Looking at Mom's tear-stained face, my heart softened instantly.
"Officer, if we follow legal procedures, how many years will these people be sentenced?"
The policeman sighed: "I understand your feelings very well, but strictly according to the law, they will at most be detained for a few days and then pay a few thousand dollars. No way, they are still minors."
A few days? A few thousand dollars.
My brain exploded with a hum, turned my head and saw a faint smile on the little beast's mouth corner.
Hearing they would be detained, several parents worried about leaving a criminal record in the future, signaling their children with eyes.
Three people quickly ran to me, bowing and apologizing.
Tiffany Wang held my hand: "Sorry, we know we were wrong, promise not to do it again next time!"
Hard object touch in palm, I looked down.
She stuffed a bloody hairpin into my hand.
Still the one I gave to Lily.
A few strands of hair stuck to the hairpin, must have been pulled off Lily's head forcefully.
"Fuck!"
Just as I was about to slap her, her dad quickly protected her behind him.
"Brother, I'm sorry!" She cried like pear blossoms bathed in rain, "Beat me, as long as you can vent your anger, you can beat me however you want."
She was crying on her face, but her right hand gave me the middle finger below.
"I'll fucking kill you!"
"Calm down!" The police stood in the middle again, turning to them and said, "The family is emotional, let's talk about this next time, you go first!"
