Chapter 7
“Disgusting fellow.”
“Even though you said this, your body didn’t resist. It’s great. It’s just like before. I really hope you can keep this cute look.”
…
She slowly left my front and sat back in her original position.
Unexpected!?
“Anyway, I have grown up, both physically and mentally, so I will no longer do things that cause you physical pain.”
“In other words, you’re finally going to stop pestering me?”
“I just said to continue our relationship, didn’t you understand what I said? Or should I return to the posture from before so that you’ll be obedient?”
I said nothing more.
“It seems that guy has as much influence on you as I do. It’s really jealousy.”
I picked up the phone I had set aside.
“What are you going to do?”
“Call the police and let the law punish that guy.”
But when my hand pressed the last zero, I hesitated.
“Hesitated…right?”
“…”
“You’ve been like this since you were a child. You obviously want to take revenge on others, but you always hesitate at the last moment.”
“No hesitation! Just…”
“I just thought that after she was caught by the police, her future would be ruined, right?”
“…”
“Just because of your character, I would bully you unscrupulously at that time. Haven’t you ever thought about this?”
“…”
She was right.
Is this cowardice or compassion? I don’t know at all. If I had told my dad when she first bullied me as a child, maybe I wouldn’t have had to spend my elementary school years in a rehabilitation facility.
“It doesn’t matter. Bai Yuchen is such a gentle person, isn’t he?”
Seeing that I didn’t speak, she placed a key on the table.
“This is your new home. Although it is only for rent, the Eliu Group will cover the expenses.”
“What do you mean?”
I detest this kind of handout.
“It’s nothing. I simply wish to extract some benefits from you by force.”
Her approach remains stern, but given the current situation, I have no choice but to accept.
“Can you tell me what benefits you’re referring to?”
“I haven’t decided yet, but I think it’s probably a ‘date’ type of thing.”
“Whatever you want…Eryu Yoma.”
07. Accident
“Yuchen!? Are you back already?”
As soon as I returned to the classroom after a long absence, Guan Guo ran towards me as if he were reuniting with family and friends.
“Hey! Don’t come over here; it’s disgusting!”
“I heard from your sister that you went to the United States and might have to take half a semester off from school. Seeing her hesitation to speak, I thought something had happened to you!”
What reason did that guy give me for taking a break from school for half a semester? What does half a year mean? Did she only plan to imprison me for half a year?
“I should be confident that I can train you to be submissive in half a year.”
Still looking like a literary girl, Eryuya appeared from the door closely following me.
“Hey! What do you mean?”
I had told her about that matter repeatedly, asking her not to mention it again, but I didn’t expect that she had forgotten it just one day later.
“Morning! Eru-san?”
Ye Zhen nodded in response to Guan Guo.
“It’s strange. When Eryu-san arrived here the day before yesterday, she seemed unapproachable, but I didn’t expect her to be quite gentle when we interacted.”
“Thank you, Mr. Guan Guo.”
Both of them suddenly fell silent.
It appears that Eryu Yoma has truly changed. In the past, she was nothing short of a troublemaker, constantly playing pranks and causing mischief. She often dragged me into various adventures that usually ended with me getting hurt.
But now, she appears to have transformed into a refined young lady. She is calm and well-mannered. I’ve even witnessed her domestic skills, and while she may not be as proficient as Mamoru Akane, she is certainly a capable woman.
However, her family’s upbringing has been strict, and she is undeniably an eldest daughter.
As if sensing my gaze, she turned her head to look at me.
Her deep eyes seemed to have peered into my soul, momentarily sending a shiver down my spine.
Rather, she looked strikingly similar to her…
Finally, it was lunch break, and Guan Guo dragged me up to the roof.
“I asked, what’s the connection between you two?”
“What connection?”
“Don’t play innocent, kid. She was flirting with you during class, and she stared at you intensely after class. If you claim she’s not interested in you, that’s a load of nonsense.”
I think he’s right.
If she were interested in me, it would be like encountering a ghost.
And I did indeed encounter a ghost…
“Guan Guo, do you recall what I mentioned about the wound on my abdomen earlier?”
“No more joking around! Answer my questions honestly!”
“She was the woman who haunted my childhood.”
As I uttered this, Guan Guo stared at me with his computer screen displaying a blank blue screen.
“Is everything you said before…true?”
“Did you always believe it was a lie?”
“But your crazy childhood sweetheart is Chinese! No matter how you look at it, this is Eryu Ye…”
“Hui Liu has a compound surname. You should have heard of the surnames Ouyang and Xiahou.”
“No! We even bet yesterday that she was a child who had returned from overseas!”
“As for the children who have returned from overseas… they should be considered as such.”
Anyway, I heard her mention that she often traveled abroad when she was a child.
“Then how did you two meet? If this love rekindles after so many years, it should have a different flavor!”
“It has a different flavor… I feel like it smells like konjac…”
“If she still loves you after being separated from you for so many years, she must have gone to bridal training! Otherwise, why would her impression be so different from what you said?”
Yes… Speaking of which, I don’t know where she has been all these years, because the last time I saw her was when she scratched me.
“I told you not to be too optimistic about everything. No matter how quiet she behaves, the violence in her bones still exists.”
Her physical abilities are really strong, and it is completely imperceptible to the strength that a girl possesses.
“But now that you’re both almost adults, how about you reconsider your feelings for each other? I believe your relationship might improve!”
“Is this Master Guan Guo’s secret to successful love again?”
“Exactly.”
“You singletons are delusional again.”
☆
The afternoon class ended quickly, but the moment the teacher announced the end of class, I discovered something very disheartening.
The midterm exams are here.
I missed the crucial lessons and mock exams.
I basically don’t understand what the teachers are saying now.
“So please! Master Guan Guo.”
“Haha! I didn’t expect you to have such a day. Okay, okay, who told me to have a compassionate heart!”
What a shame! No, it should be a great shame!
The two of us were among the top 5 in the class last semester, and my grades were always higher than Guan Guo’s. So, he made a bet with me, unconvinced. Every time he takes an exam in the future, the loser will have to treat the winner to a meal.
But this does not mean that we will interfere with each other or refuse to help each other solve problems.
“It seems quite interesting. Can you let me join in?” After Yezhen packed up the equipment early, he walked over to us and sat at my table without asking.
“Okay! I think if Eru-san is here, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort!” Guan Guo made a ‘leave it to me’ gesture to me where Yoshima couldn’t see it, while responding with a rich expression and taking pictures. The night was so flattering.
Do you also aspire to be a stellar teammate and an exceptional support player…
For Guan Guo, even though Ye Zhen didn’t make a sound, her eyes momentarily conveyed a sense of disdain, as if she were looking at trash.
In this manner, the four of us headed to a tea restaurant near the school.
As for why there were four people, it was because I met Guan Ting on the way. After she learned that I was going to study, she also joined with great interest.
As soon as he sat down, Ye Zhen tied her hair into a ponytail, and the gazes around her shifted from a few individuals to a group.
