After the sophomore-year class reshuffle, the school's "Big Bully" and "Little Wimp" became deskmates.
Their classmates buzzed with gossip. A joint statement on the school forum declared: If the Little Wimp gets bullied, he just has to squeak!
Little Wimp Qi Jing: Squeak.
Big Bully Xu Xiangyan: ...Put down that pot and let's talk this out!
*
The summer Nancheng flooded, Xu Xiangyan moved into an apartment on Douzi Lane with his mom.
The family upstairs spent all day throwing pots and bottles, making a terrible racket.
Then one day, Xu Xiangyan saw a boy grabbing people and swinging them into trees. Wasn't this the Little Wimp deskmate everyone at school said wouldn't fight back even when people came to pick on him?
After Qi Jing threw the pot, he spotted a boy in dinosaur pajamas, his hair tied up in a topknot and his face frozen in shock. Wasn't this the Big Bully deskmate everyone at school said was super cool and would draw blood when he beat someone up?
Theme: I'm a big shot. Who are you?
