Chapter 20 The Noble Academy's Substitute (20) What will your fate be...?

Chapter Twenty

Xia Zhi looked at his face so close to hers, instinctively flinched, and took a step back awkwardly, almost tripping.

Xie Ningyu was slightly taken aback. He looked at Xia Zhi, licked his lips, and chuckled, "Are you that scared?"

Xia Zhi, enraged and embarrassed, said, "If you keep doing this, I'm leaving!"

Xie Ningyu chuckled: "Where can you go? It's late at night, by the sea. Are you sure you can call a car? And even if you do, is it guaranteed to be safe?"

Xia Zhi was seething with anger; she hadn't expected Xie Ningyu to be so arrogant and wicked.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Xie Ningyu sighed and said, "You really misjudged me. What makes you so sure that I will agree to your request and won't go back on my word?"

Xia Zhi was clearly pushed to her limit, and she suddenly shouted at him, "You'll never be as good as Xie Yi!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Ningyu's eyes darkened, and the smile on his face froze.

He hates it most when people compare him to Xie Yi, whether it was when he was a child or now.

Xie Ningyu stared at Xia Zhi, then laughed angrily: "You're the first person who dares to attack me like this. Do you know what happened to those who attacked me like this before you?"

Xia Zhi looked at him calmly: "How is it?"

Xie Ningyu slowly said, "Family destroyed and people killed."

Xia Zhi thought he was exaggerating, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed Xie Ningyu's unusually serious eyes. She suddenly realized that Xie Ningyu cared a lot about the contrast between himself and Xie Yi because of his illegitimate child background.

This is his traumatic experience, and it's a forbidden zone that no one else can touch.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi looked away and subconsciously explained, "You forced me to do it."

Xie Ningyu looked at her, a little angry, but mostly greedy. He wanted to get closer to her and do something even more outrageous.

He suddenly grabbed Xia Zhi's hand tightly with one hand, showing no mercy, and said coldly, "You attacked me like this, shouldn't you be punished?"

Xia Zhi frowned and looked at him upon hearing this: "What punishment? Also, you hurt me."

Xie Ningyu leaned in and whispered in Xia Zhi's ear, "Xia Zhi, I want to kiss you so much."

Xia Zhi gasped, instinctively trying to break free from Xie Ningyu's hand.

Xie Ningyu's lips suddenly pressed gently against Xia Zhi's ear, and he caressed it lightly, making Xia Zhi feel her whole body go limp.

She could feel as if she had been electrocuted, her whole body stiff and unable to move.

Xie Ningyu chuckled: "Why didn't you just listen to me from the beginning? Why did you have to keep pestering me for so long?"

Xia Zhi closed her eyes with a sense of shame, feeling tears streaming down her cheeks.

She was so frightened that she cried.

Xie Ningyu paused slightly, looked at her with a complicated expression, and then took a step back.

After a moment of silence, Xie Ningyu finally spoke, "I will help you."

Xia Zhi looked at Xie Ningyu: "You're not going to back out this time?"

Xie Ningyu said slowly, "Why would I go back on my word? Otherwise, you can record this."

Xia Zhi took out her phone, ready to record a message, when she suddenly realized she had several missed calls. She even received countless text messages.

Xia Zhi pursed her lips and subconsciously clicked on the button.

All three of them sent her messages, and many of them.

The latest one is:

Thank you: Xia Zhi, have I been too good to you?

Xu Yu: Xia Zhi, you dare to stay out all night and see what happens!

Meng Ziyue: Zhizhi, do you really want to do this?

Xia Zhi's heart was racing. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she got caught. They were all obviously furious.

So she looked at Xie Ningyu and said, "I'll record something."

She pulled out the recording, then pressed start to signal him to begin.

Xie Ningyu looked at her amusedly: "I, Xie Ningyu, will definitely help Xia Zhi. I will help Xia Zhi resolve this matter and make them stop bothering her."

Xia Zhi finished recording quickly and then sent it to the three of them without any hesitation.

Xie Ningyu frowned subconsciously: "You..."

Xia Zhi said coldly, "This is the punishment for you, for going back on your word and forcing yourself to kiss me."

Xie Ningyu stared at her for a long time, then shook his head and sighed, "I really underestimated you."

Xia Zhi remained silent, and Xie Ningyu continued slowly, "Do you think they might have already arrived? What will happen to you?"

Just as Xia Zhi was about to speak, she suddenly heard a car horn piercing the night. It seemed that several cars had stopped by the sea, and the sound was quite abrupt in the night.

Xia Zhi frowned subconsciously and looked in that direction through the streetlight.

Xia Zhi could vaguely see three people getting off the bus, but she couldn't make out their expressions.

Xie Ningyu said slowly, "Xie Yi and the others have just graduated, so they can't possibly disobey their parents. You can leave the rest to me."

Xia Zhi felt a surge of tension. Would this method really work for them...? How would they react to it?
