More than ten years later

Ye Yan was dozing off during class. After the first class, he fell asleep directly on the table. He slept soundly.
He slept until the third class in the morning, when someone knocked on the corner of his desk and a clear and slightly cold voice rang out above his head, "Ye Yan, hand in your homework."
Ye Yan frowned. He hated being disturbed while sleeping the most.
"Ye Yan." The girl's voice rose a few notches.
"Go away! Get as far away as you can!" When Ye Yan was disturbed while sleeping, he was in a very bad temper. He would yell at anyone who came to him and didn't care about being gentle with women.
Even Ye Lan had been bitten by his bad temper several times, and he yelled at her until she cried, and she ran to her father to complain, which resulted in him being punished several times. But he just couldn't change this bad habit.
"You haven't done any homework for Chinese, math, chemistry, or physics. A total of 8 points will be deducted." The girl was not afraid of him, as if she had gotten used to it. She bent down, used the corner of his desk, and carefully found Ye Yan's name on the class registration book, and simply wrote a '-8' on it. In fact, there were numbers like '-6' and '-3' before the '-8', and she deducted more than 30 points in just a few days.
Afterwards, the other party ignored Ye Yan and turned to ask the next student for the homework book.

After the last class, Ye Yan was called to the office by the head teacher. He was called in with several other old-timers like him.
The group was scolded for an hour or so. When they came out, everyone's face was black. Especially Ye Yan, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he thought of the woman who deducted so many points from him.
"Damn it! Boss, your parents are going to be called again! That woman deducted 30 points from you in just one week! In our class, who else but her would dare to do that to you?" When the other class leaders were on duty and Ye Yan didn't do his homework, they all helped him to cover it up, and some even helped to quickly copy a copy to hand in.
As for Shu Nian, he was always "upright and impartial" and deducted whatever was due.
"Can you stop poking at my sore spot?" Ye Yan was annoyed and rolled his eyes at her. He had to go back to running laps after his parents were invited. It had only been a few days since he was punished to run laps last time, and his legs were still sore. That woman was clearly against him, and he had been hurt by her several times in one semester.
"Tell me, Shu Nian is pretty and the school beauty, how could she be so evil? How many times has our boss called the parents because of her? I can't even count them all."
"You can't just be a good person, you have to put on airs. The study committee member is so great! I just can't stand her fake noble attitude! Hypocrisy!"
"Boss, let's find a way to avenge you! Give her a good beating and teach her a lesson, otherwise, she will punish us next time."
"How do you want revenge?" Ye Yan walked out of the school gate with a dark face. He was upset and didn't take their words seriously at all. "Kill her or rape her?"
"You rape and murder, boss. You have a strong taste!" Several teenagers laughed.
"Get lost! How could I rape her?" Ye Yan had a look of disdain on his face. He threw his schoolbag onto his Harley motorcycle. The tall young man jumped on it nimbly and rode away without paying any attention to them.
——
As expected, Ye Yan was called to the parents' house again, and then was punished to run laps. He had no habit of beating women. If he could beat a woman, he would tie up Shu Nian and use her as a sandbag to beat her to pieces.
However, Ye Yan had to vent his anger. So, he hung a group photo of his class on the dartboard at home. Every time he threw a dart, he would throw it at the spot where Shu Nian was standing. Every throw was accurate and a hole was made. Now in the photo, Shu Nian's head was gone, only half of his body was left.
That night, Ye Lan came in and saw him playing darts, and he only threw at that spot. She leaned in to take a closer look, smiling, "Brother, are you in love?"
"Which eye of yours saw that I was in love?" Besides, how could a little boy who was just a little over ten years old know what love was
"That's a secret crush, isn't it?"
"… Crazy." Who does Ye Yan have a crush on? If he really has someone he likes, he will definitely seduce that girl right away. A crush? He's not that cowardly.
"I guess you like the girl, but she doesn't like you, so you keep stabbing her with the dart. I say, brother, why are you so mean! If you were stabbing someone, you would have made hundreds of holes in her body, right?"
"You said I have a crush on her?!" Ye Yan felt insulted after hearing what Ye Lan said, "I, your brother, don't have such bad taste! I don't have a crush on a man, and I don't have a crush on her either! Unless you're blind!"
"Why, I am so ugly?"
"Ugly! Extremely ugly! Like a witch. You know what a witch looks like, right? Just like that."
How can a school beauty be ugly? However, in Ye Yan's heart, Shu Nian was really just like a witch. In fact, except when Shu Nian deducted his points, he never looked at her straight in the eye. Because, that woman never looked at him straight in the eye! She always looked superior and great.
Ye Yan was a little bully on weekdays, how could he stand other people's attitude towards him? Therefore, he had been unhappy with her for a long time. He hated her very much after being deducted points and asked to send his parents several times.
Ye Lan believed Ye Yan's words and held Ye Yan's arm innocently. "Is there anyone in your class who looks like a witch? Take me to see her later. I want to see what she looks like."
"Aren't you afraid of being scared?"
"Do I look like such a coward?"
"Okay, I'll take you to see it some other day. Go out, I have to go to bed."
Ye Yan pushed Ye Lan out of the room. Before going to bed, he stabbed the photo with a dart again, and his anger subsided a little.
———
Two days later.
Late in the evening.
When Ye Yan was about to go to bed, he received a phone call.
"Boss, I will avenge you soon!" The person who called was Hu Yang, and his tone was particularly excited.
Ye Yan was very sleepy and his mind was not clear, so he just asked, "What revenge?"
"Have you forgotten this? Last time Shu Nian messed with you, we'll do it tonight!"
"Isn't that childish? Why are you arguing with a woman?" Ye Yan was too lazy to pay attention to them. "You guys play, I'll sleep."
"Why are you sleeping? Boss, come over now, maybe you can see Shu Nian getting coquettish!"
"It's the middle of the night, what are you looking at..." Ye Yan paused and sat up suddenly from the quilt, "What did you just say?"
"What? She's being horny! Aren't you curious about what she'll be like when she gets horny? Hahaha~" Hu Yang was laughing obscenely over there.
Ye Yan felt a chill down his spine and held the phone tightly, "What did you guys do?"
