Chapter 38 After several exams, Gu Ao Yu seemed to be drained of energy. He lay on the table in a daze, staring at the dead old man.

After several exams, Gu Ao Yu felt as if he had been drained of energy. He lay sluggishly on the table, staring at the back of the old man as he left with a stack of papers.

A slender finger waved in front of Gu Ao Yu's eyes. Xu Luxi looked at Gu Ao Yu, who was exhausted and looked like he had just had a fight, with concern on her face. Gu Ao Yu turned his head away sullenly and ignored her.

"What's wrong?" Xu Luxi imitated Gu Ao Yu's actions and put his face on the other half of the desk, facing Gu Ao Yu from a distance.

"If you hadn't tricked me into coming here, I wouldn't have come to take these exams." Gu Ao Yu curled his lips, his already sharp eyebrows drooped, and his face looked extremely sour.

Xu Luxi was not frightened at all. Her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, as curved as the moon.

"Okay, this time the test paper is a bit difficult. It's normal that you don't understand since you've just attended a few classes. If you don't understand something, I'll explain it to you." Xu Luxi took the test paper from Gu Ao Yu's hand and lowered his eyes to look at the messy handwriting on it carefully.

With the slight rustling sound, Gu Ao Yu's drooping brows unconsciously raised up, and she glanced at Xu Luxi's serious face.

Her skin is fair and tender, her eyebrows are like carefully drawn mountains in the distance, soft and smooth, quietly stretching above her eyelids. Her long eyelashes are like butterfly wings, casting a faint shadow on her eyelids.

The action of lowering her eyes and concentrating suddenly dispelled the natural tenderness in her brows and tinged them with a hint of sharpness.

Gu Ao Yu tilted her head, slightly bent her fingertips on the table, and tapped the tabletop. She inexplicably wanted to poke her fair little face.

She thought she was very beautiful.

Gu Aoyu has been like a devil since she was young, fearless and rebellious. She rarely has any scruples when doing things. She thinks so and does so.

He raised his finger slightly and poked it lightly with his fingertips. It was like touching a ball of fluffy cotton, and a small dimple was poked on Xu Luxi's cheek.

Xu Luxi pursed her lips, and her fingers holding the test paper suddenly tightened, and a layer of mist appeared in her amber eyes.

Gu Ao Yu didn't expect Xu Luxi to react so strongly. She touched her nose awkwardly, not knowing how to explain her behavior for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Xu Luxi behaved abnormally for a moment, but soon returned to normal. His amber eyes were crystal clear without leaving any trace.

She smiled and poked the place where she had been poked before with her fingers. The slightly cool fingertips moved up along Gu Ao Yu's bony joints and gently covered her curled palm.

"It's okay, Ao Yu. We are sisters, and it's normal for us to be close. I'm just a little surprised that Ao Yu accepted me so quickly. After all, you were quite resistant to me before."

Hearing the weak and well-behaved girl in front of him calling herself "sister", Gu Ao Yu felt a little unhappy. His drooping eyebrows were tinged with a sharp and cold color.

"I don't have a sister."

A trace of hurt flashed across Xu Luxi's eyes, and the beautiful light in her eyes gradually faded. She said nothing and lowered her head silently.

"You are my friend." Seeing Xu Luxi's look, Gu Ao Yu's stiff expression could no longer be maintained, so she added a few more words.

Xu Luxi then raised his head, thinking that he would see Gu Ao Yu's extremely ugly face, but unexpectedly, the coldness in Gu Ao Yu's eyes disappeared silently, the tense lines relaxed and stretched, the eyebrows drooped slightly, and he looked a little gentle.

She clenched her fist and gently bumped Xu Luxi's shoulder.

"From now on, you are my, Gu Ao Yu's, friend. As my friend, I can't promise anything else, but I promise that you will not be bullied. From now on, stand up straight. If anyone dares to bully you, tell them my name, and I promise to scare them to death."

Gu Aoyu raised her eyebrows in a somewhat proud manner, and the gloom in her eyes was completely dispelled. Two small canine teeth were faintly visible at the edge of her lips. It was not difficult to see her pride.

It was a bit strange that she never expected that one day she would become good friends with such a good student and a good girl.

In his previous life, Gu Ao Yu was a fierce fighter, had good martial arts skills, was a righteous person, and had many friends, all of whom he met through fighting, drinking, and racing. His daily entertainment activities were also related to these, but it became boring after a while.

This was the first time she made friends with someone who was not on the same social line in life.

As she thought about it, Gu Ao Yu stood up, abandoned her somewhat lazy posture, straightened her back, and straightened her wrinkled school uniform, wanting to give her new friend a better impression.

The only top student in the school cannot be led astray by her.

Hmm, so weak, so small, and so thin. It seems like it has been mistreated. It should eat more.

"I'll set a training schedule for you someday. You'll train with me every day. I promise that you'll fight two people at a time and never be bullied again. Otherwise, you'll become a nerd if you sit still for too long. It'll tarnish my reputation."

Gu Ao Yu frowned, his stern gaze swept over Xu Luxi a few times, and he opened his mouth as a matter of course.

"Yeah." Xu Luxi nodded obediently, as if he had no objection to Gu Ao Yu's decision.

She raised her fair face and curved her eyes. "Then I will teach Ao Yu to read in the future. If Ao Yu has any questions, feel free to ask me."

When she heard the word "study", the defiant look on Gu Ao Yu's face collapsed again. She waved her hands and looked very long.

"No need, no need. Just read more on your own. I'm afraid I'll never be able to learn this in my lifetime." She put her hands back into her pockets and slowly walked out of the classroom.

Nonsense, he is so good at fighting, which means he is definitely smart. It is obvious that he does not care about the future at all. Do you want to live your life in a muddle?

Xu Luxi's fists hanging by his legs clenched and unclenched, and he didn't know what it felt like.

Her mother had been married into this family for a short time and had been doing the housework and serving her stepfather... Her stepfather often slept in the bed of other women and was away from home for more than ten days. When he came home, he was drunk and asked her mother to serve him by name.

All kinds of obscene words came out of his mouth under the influence of alcohol, not to mention physical contact on the spot.

Her mother had come to her to cry several times, and Xu Luxi silently hugged her mother, patting her trembling shoulders with one hand from time to time. However, the eyes hidden in the dark did not show any sympathy for her.

Isn't this her own choice? Did she tell her that if she waited a few more years and got into a good university, she could still live the life she imagined? But she would rather believe those men than her.

Just looking at Gu Ao Yu's gloomy and cold face, Xu Luxi couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

Gu Ao Yu was so young at that time. Without her mother, she was probably only a little taller than the table. She was so helpless facing her stepfather alone. She was crying and screaming. She rushed up to hit him, but he just shook his hand lightly and easily pushed her to the ground. The strong man in power glanced at her with contempt and turned away.

Obviously, the weak are ignored even if they resist.

Even so, Gu Aoyu has raised herself well. She has a tall and strong body, a rebellious temperament, and everything is developing in the direction she expected when she was young. More importantly, she is unexpectedly upright. This is already a blessing, why should she ask for more?

If... Xu Luxi was stunned, and the dark thoughts in his mind spread uncontrollably.

If she gets into a good university and climbs up the pyramid of power, wouldn't her chances of being with him be greater? Even if she doesn't want to, she can use the things in her hands to imprison her by her side and make her...

Xu Luxi pinched the back of his hand hard, so hard that it left a purple bruise, to stop his dangerous and dark thoughts from emanating further.

She was worse than an animal. She was obviously the first person who was so nice to her, but she shamelessly stayed by her side and pretended for so many days, and finally she got the title of friend.

I should have stopped while I was ahead and stayed by her side quietly from then on, but after tasting the sweetness of being her friend these days, she actually wanted to take a step further.

How despicable! Such a good person, but all she wanted was to drag her down to hell with her.

Gu Ao Yu mischievously pulled Little Blue Tuan's braids. When it flew over and glared at her angrily, Gu Ao Yu pulled Little Blue Tuan down and held it tightly in her arms.

"I'll give you a different hairstyle this time."

Seeing Gu Aoyu untying the tendons on Little Blue Tuan's head skillfully, and quickly completing a braid with his hands dancing flexibly, Little Blue Tuan couldn't help but be in a trance.

"My mother used to like to braid my hair. She could give me any prettier hairstyle. At that time, she dressed me up like a doll all day long." Gu Ao Yu sneered, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Before she left, she held my hand and told me over and over again to control my emotions and avoid fighting with others. She also told me to take good care of myself, study hard, and get into a good university in the future. She also told me to spend my life with the person I love."

Although his mother's face was already blurry in his mind, Gu Ao Yu could still recite her last words to him without missing a word.

"Now that I think about it, I haven't done any of them." It can even be said that I was going against her instructions.

It's quite boring.

That day, seeing Xu Luxi covered in wounds, he finally stood up to resist but was beaten like that.

She suddenly felt a little uncertain. Her childhood memories were deliberately forgotten by her and locked in a little unknown corner. She stretched out her hand hesitantly, not daring to take a step forward.

Did my mother also resist? Did she also suffer bruises like Xu Luxi?

She said she hated her weakness, her compromise, and everything about her. After two lifetimes, she finally realized that the reason for her hatred was because of love.

She hated everything about her, but she also loved her all-embracing softness, like a warm spring breeze, gently holding her face and kissing her forehead.

"Okay, it looks beautiful, right?" Gu Ao Yu patted Little Blue Tuan's head. Little Blue Tuan jumped up, admiring his new hairstyle with joy.

Gu Ao Yu leaned lazily on the side, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

The little blue ball smiled at Gu Ao Yu. The host's melancholy these days had dissipated a little, and he finally gained some popularity. Although System 10086 didn't say it, he was still very happy in his heart.
