Xi Bingchao scoffed and retorted, "who said anything about it being a hobby? It's just something I'm good at, unlike you girls who can't even handle a little bit of pressure." He smirked, his bowl cut hair falling over his eyes, making him look even more ridiculous. "But don't worry, I'll find other ways to amuse myself once I'm done with you two."

Li Na rolled her eyes "Oh please, spare us the melodrama. You're not a villain in a movie, Xi Bingchao. You're just a sad excuse for a bully."

Ning Yu giggled and added, "Yeah, and that bowl cut isn't doing you any favors either."

"Seriously, doesn't he realize that he is scaring girls off with his weird hairstyle."

Ning Yu wiped away tears of laughter and leaned in closer to Li Na. "You know, we should create a 'How to Intimidate Girls 101' manual just for Xi Bingchao. We could include chapters like 'Choosing the Perfect Hairstyle to Scare Girls Away' and 'Mastering the Art of Awkward Silence.'"

Li Na chuckled, playing along with the idea. "And don't forget the bonus section on 'Wearing Socks with Sandals for Maximum Effect!'"

In an attempt to salvage his pride, Xi Bingchao straightened his hair, unintentionally revealing his peculiar bowl cut that covered his eyebrows. The sight of it made some students struggle to hold back their laughter.

With a shaky voice, Xi Bingchao replied, "You... you're just lucky, Li Na. Don't think this is over." He pointed a finger at her, trying to assert his dominance.

Li Na rolled her eyes and decided it was best to ignore Xi Bingchao's attempts at intimidation. After all, she didn't want to risk her IQ plummeting to zero if she engaged in a conversation with him. With a dismissive wave of her hand, she turned her attention back to Ning Yu.

Xi Bingchao's face flushed with anger, but before he could say anything, the bell rang, signaling the end of the break. Xi Bingchao just scoffed and turned away, followed by his group of friends.

Ning Yu tried to lighten the mood, "Well, at least we know we're not boring. We have a whole group of boys dedicated to harassing us."

Li Na rolled her eyes, "Yeah, lucky us."

Meanwhile, Xiao Mei, who was hiding in the corner, gritted her teeth as her plan failed yet again. Xu Bingchao was truly useless. He couldn't even deal with these little girls.

Xiao Mei turned to Li Na and Ning Yu with a sly grin. "You may have won this time, but just wait. I'll find a way to get you back."

She pulled out her phone and began typing a message to her mysterious ally.

As she sent the message, a sinister smile appeared on her face. She knew that her ally had information that could help her with her revenge. Soon, Li Na and Ning Yu would pay for what they had done to her.

….

Days passed quickly, and the grand day had arrived, it was clear that the Li family had gone to great lengths to accommodate the guests.

The air was filled with anticipation as guests arrived at the majestic "Golden Palace Hotel." The venue stood tall and elegant, exuding an aura of opulence and sophistication. The sprawling gardens surrounding the hotel were adorned with vibrant flowers and twinkling fairy lights, creating a mesmerizing sight.

At the entrance of the Golden Palace Hall, the Li family, including Father Li, Zhang Mei, and Li Jing, stood with warm smiles to welcome the arriving guests. Father Li, clad in a sharp suit, exuded an air of maturity and respect, commanding attention as he greeted each visitor with a firm handshake. Li Jing, having put in considerable effort, looked pleasing to the eye with her elegant dress and radiant smile. However, all eyes were momentarily diverted when Zhang Wei made her entrance.

Zhang Wei, dressed like a golden peacock, had opted for a flamboyant ensemble that caught everyone's attention. Her outfit was adorned with elaborate patterns and shimmering embellishments, leaving little room for subtlety. The vibrant hues and excessive accessories seemed to compete for attention, making her presence impossible to ignore.

The guests exchanged glances and stifled amused chuckles.
