Chapter 1 Chapter 1 It’s so dirty, I don’t want to touch it

The bright light shone on my eyelids, causing a slight sting, and my already confused brain seemed to become even more drowsy.

Ruan Chao took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of me were wash basins lined up in a row. The white porcelain walls reflected a subtle gleam, and the mirror in the middle reflected several clear human figures.

Is he in the bathroom?

"Nguyen Chao." Someone waved his fingers in front of his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The one who called his name was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue and white school uniform, with his hair dyed an unruly yellow, and an iron bone chain hanging around his neck.

Dressed like a bad boy.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the other party raised his eyebrows and asked, "You were just staring blankly there, are you okay?"

The current situation was not clear. Adhering to the principle of "the more you talk, the more mistakes you make", Nguyen Chao did not say anything, but just shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

He looked around inconspicuously, hoping to gain more information during this time.

Something suddenly moved under his feet.

Ruan Chao looked down.

I found myself stepping on someone's hand.

Pale, weak, and without a trace of blood, it is easy to remind people of the cold corpse in the cold storage.

He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took half a step back.

Those fingers suddenly moved and gripped his ankle tightly.

The cold fingertips pressed completely against his skin.

Stiff and cold, like a poisonous snake lurking in a damp corner.

Ruan Chao's nerves suddenly tensed up, and he thought he had stepped into a horror movie, and he almost screamed out.

Suddenly, a voice came into his mind. It was the system that traveled through time with him.

It soothed Nguyen Dynasty's emotions immediately.

System: [Don't be afraid, host, take a deep breath, take a deep breath...]

Ruan Chao's breathing slowed down and his emotions calmed down.

He plucked up the courage to look down.

I accidentally bumped into a pair of bottomless eyes.

System: [Look, he is not a ghost, nor a corpse, but a living person.]

Ruan Chao had never seen such a pair of dark eyes on anyone before. They were so foggy and gloomy that it seemed as if not even a bit of light could penetrate them.

His breath was choked, and he took two hasty steps back, breaking free from the opponent's restraints.

System: [The man lying on the ground is the male protagonist of this world, Gu Xingyan. We are the vicious tools responsible for pushing the plot forward.]

[The main task is to bully and suppress the male protagonist, doing bad things to him all the time, bullying him into a mess, which indirectly highlights the beauty, strength and tragedy of the male protagonist...]

According to the system's prompts, the boy lying on the ground in a wolf-like posture is the one that Ruan Chao is going to bully.

At this time, his clothes were stained with dirty water, and there was a large stain on his chest. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing his cold white wrists with protruding bony joints.

He used his elbows to support himself on the ground, as if trying to get up... His arms were shaking unconsciously and he had no strength to move, so he fell back heavily.

The Nguyen Dynasty saw nothing else but his misery.

So where is the beauty? Where is the strength?

The system prompts to continue.

[This is a very important plot point, and it is also the first time you have a direct conflict with him.]

[The two people around you are your friends. They believed your lies and thought you were bullied by Gu Xingyan, so they volunteered to help you teach him a lesson.]

[Gu Xingyan had not eaten in the morning and had a hypoglycemic attack. He was easily taken to the toilet and pushed onto the dirty floor.]

[You pretended not to notice and stepped hard on his palm...]

Ruan Chao thought that Gu Xingyan, who was lying on the ground, was a frozen corpse, so he just stepped on him once and then hurriedly moved away.

Thinking of this, he asked seriously, "Should I still step on him now?"

[You pretend to be a gentle and kind person in front of your friends, but now you deliberately step on me, which is a bit OOC.]

【All right.】

Ruan Chao lowered his eyelashes and looked at the boy struggling on the ground.

He tried hard many times and was finally about to get up from the ground, but unexpectedly someone kicked him hard on the shoulder and kicked him back.

This fall was quite heavy.

You can clearly hear the crisp sound of bones hitting the ground.

The one who made the move was the yellow-haired boy next to Ruan Chao.

He raised the corners of his lips in a wicked way and said with a fake smile: "Don't get up, keep crawling."

Ruan Chao widened his eyes: “……!” There was actually someone who acted more like a villain than him!

Gu Xingyan seemed to have fainted and lay on the ground for a long time without any response.

The yellow-haired boy just thought that he was pretending and was deliberately acting pitiful to gain sympathy.

How could someone fall into coma after being kicked?

He didn't kick him on the head.

The yellow-haired man said, "Don't play dead. Do you think you can get away with it? The shit you did is enough to get you beaten eight hundred times."

Gu Xingyan's fingers curled up and finally responded.

He moved forward a little, leaned his back against the wall, and breathed softly.

His scattered black hair covered his face, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

"Fuck." The yellow-haired man cursed and clenched his fists, wanting to punch him hard twice to see if he could still act calm and composed.

Ruan Chao quickly hugged his arm and said, "Forget it, stop fighting."

He could see that Gu Xingyan was not pretending, but was really in a drowsy state for some reason. If he continued to beat people in this situation, it would probably cause big problems.

Huang Mao was dissatisfied: "But he did that to you, how can you just let it go?"

Although Nguyen Chao didn't know what was going on, he had his own way of answering questions.

"He should have realized his mistake, and we should give him a chance to make amends."

The yellow-haired boy is called Chen Feng, and he is a very good "friend" of the original owner.

Of course, this friend was unilaterally identified by Chen Feng. The original owner never considered him as a friend. He only considered him as a tool that could be used and stand up for him when necessary.

For example, he can be asked to do things like violently beating or insulting the male protagonist, and he should also bear the consequences.

All he had to do was hide behind his "friends" and continue to pretend to be a white lotus that was not tainted by dust.

Nguyen Chao roughly understood the character's personality, quickly integrated into the role, and began to speak well of the male protagonist in a low voice.

He said that he might have just had a momentary distraction and that we should give him a chance to mend his ways...

But these kind words were like pouring fuel on the fire. The two of them became even angrier and rolled up their sleeves, wanting to beat the male protagonist up.

Ruan Chao's eyebrows twitched slightly. Seeing Chen Feng's fist as big as a sandbag, he was worried that the male protagonist's frail body would not be able to withstand the death.

He grabbed Chen Feng's arm again, and this time his tone was obviously much firmer than the last time.

"Stop hitting me. If the teacher finds out, it will be hard to deal with."

Even if the teacher was moved out, the two still did not show any fear, and Chen Feng even said it with confidence.

"What if he was found out? He did such a disgusting thing, shouldn't he be beaten up?"

Nguyen Chao was stuck for a moment.

He secretly asked the system what the original owner had slandered the male protagonist about that made his two friends so angry.

System: [You said the male protagonist likes you, and he keeps sending you messages to harass you, and he even drags you into the woods to do something bad to you.]

Nguyen Chao: […? ]

[You photoshopped several unsightly chat screenshots, all of which contained messages that needed to be censored. You told them that the male protagonist sent them to you.]

Nguyen Dynasty: [……]

[You also said that after you unilaterally rejected the male protagonist, he couldn't get you, so after school he dragged you to the small woods behind the mountain and wanted to do something bad to you.]

[Luckily you ran away and he didn't succeed. ]

Nguyen Dynasty: […………]

Nguyen Chao was confused and didn't understand.

[The original owner said it casually without any evidence, and they believed it? ]

System: [The original owner pretended to be so good that people around him thought he was gentle and kind and would not lie.]

[So host, you have to be careful. Before your true identity is revealed, don't show your vicious nature in front of anyone except the male protagonist. ]

Ruan Chao: [I understand.]

The skinny boy hung his head, the skin on the side of his face was sickly pale, and his jaw had smooth lines that revealed a slightly pointed curve.

He looked very weak, with almost no movement of his chest. It seemed as if he would pass out in the next second. There was no way he could withstand the beating from two tall and strong boys.

The Nguyen Dynasty made a decision.

"There may be some misunderstanding between Gu Xingyan and me." He turned his head to look at his two friends and said softly, "Can you please leave for a while and let me talk to him alone?"

Chen Feng: "What if he attacks you again while we're away?"

"No."

They both gave him disapproving looks.

Ruan Chao touched his nose and settled for the next best thing, "If you are worried, you can wait for me outside."

"And this kind of thing can't be solved through violence. It will only get worse."

"Why can't it be solved? If we beat him so hard that he never dares to do it again, wouldn't that solve the problem completely?"

Ruan Chao glanced at him and said calmly, "No matter what, hitting people is wrong. If the teacher finds out, you will be punished. I don't want to see you get punished because of me."

By appealing to their emotions and explaining things to them with reason, we finally managed to persuade them to leave.

Ruan Chao and Gu Xingyan were the only two people left in the empty bathroom.

The system couldn't help but quietly remind: [Host, please pay attention to your character. ]

[When you are alone with the hero, you have to act very vicious.]

...vicious?

What does it take to be vicious?

Ruan Chao recalled the vicious male supporting characters in the novels and cartoons he had read.

He took two steps forward and tried to grab Gu Xingyan by the collar.

But I unexpectedly saw dirty marks on the boy's collar, as if he had accidentally rubbed dirty water on the ground before.

So dirty and disgusting.

Don't want to touch.

The boy's slender white fingers paused for a moment, and finally changed direction to grab the boy's slightly long hair.

Use slight force.

Gu Xingyan could only raise his head according to his force.

A very pretty face.

He has clear eyebrows, bright eyes and a high nose bridge.

The folds of the eyelids are a little thin, and it looks a little cold.

"Gu Xingyan?"

The boy raised his eyes and looked at him.

His black eyes were dark and dark, a little scary, like a beast on patrol, without any human emotion.

Ruan Chao was startled and subconsciously increased the strength in his hands, accidentally pulling out a few strands of Gu Xingyan's hair.

The system clapped its hands excitedly: [Yes! That's it! The more ruthless we are to the hero, the higher the completion rate of our mission will be! ]

[Host, you are amazing. You fit into the role so quickly. I really didn't follow the wrong person! ]

Hearing the system's praise, Nguyen Chao swallowed back the apology that was about to come out of his mouth.

He loosened his grip slightly, but his eyes became arrogant and fierce, and his tone became extremely vicious.

"You are a piece of trash from the bottom of society, not even worthy of licking my shoes, how dare you look at me like that?"

If the male protagonist is the trash at the bottom level, then all of them should pack up and prepare to live in the basement forever.

Ruan Chao moved closer, stared into Gu Xingyan's charming eyes, and continued speaking.

"Do you know that you have a disgusting face? Just looking at you makes me want to vomit."

If the male protagonist is ugly, there will be few good-looking people in the world.

"And the smell on you... Are you living in a garbage dump? Why is it so smelly? I was wondering why there was always a weird smell in the class, and it turned out to be from you."

Ruan Chao said a lot of unpleasant things, but Gu Xingyan still didn't respond. He just stared at him silently.

Makes him look like a little jerk.

What to do next?

Do you want to hit him?

The Nguyen Dynasty had never beaten anyone.

He looked at the boy's pale profile, then lowered his head to look at the palm of his hand.

If you hit someone in the face, it would be very insulting, and if you are a little careless, you could easily hurt them...

It’s better to just clap your arms twice as a token of your appreciation.

Anyway, he is just a tool to bully the male protagonist in the early stage. There is no specific plot to follow, and he just needs to rely on his performance on the spot.

Thinking of this, Ruan Chao raised his hand, intending to hit the male protagonist twice, neither too hard nor too lightly.

But he was caught off guard and his wrist was grabbed.
