As soon as her words fell, Xu Chuning's body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head to look at the person coming, quickly breathing a sigh of relief, "…Xitong, what are you doing here?"
Deng Xitong stared wide-eyed at her, "I was about to ask you the same, what are you doing standing here alone? Aren't you afraid of running into those thugs?"
The thugs Deng Xitong referred to were a group of good-for-nothings who often lingered around the school, always extorting money from students.
Xu Chuning was too poor, so she wasn't a target for those people. Hence, she had never encountered them.
But she knew, many students at the school had run into them, teachers had reported to the police, but those people were as slippery as eels, hard to catch.
Some were caught, locked up for a while, and then were released and continued their actions.
