Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Even if it was your dog, it wouldn't be better than...
The boy spoke at a moderate pace, but the ending tone of his words was slightly raised, like a small hook.
Blatantly seeking credit.
The two were still too close.
I could feel the slightly warm breath, all spreading on my sensitive face, stirring up ripples of ambiguity.
Ruan Chao pretended to be calm and adjusted his clothes.
His school uniform was wrinkled by Gu Xingyan.
No matter how hard I try, it won't be smooth.
Gu Xingyan thought that Ruan Chao did not hear his question, so he repeated what he had just said.
Ruan took a half step to the side.
He pulled the zipper of his school uniform up until it reached the very top.
It's clear that I don't really want to deal with him now.
"Chao Chao..." Gu Xingyan pressed on, "Are you dissatisfied with my performance just now? Why didn't you talk to me?"
Ruan Chao covered his ears: "Don't call me Chao Chao."
"This is my nickname, and only my family can call me that."
The boy stretched out his tone and emphasized, "You are not allowed to scream."
Gu Xingyan went with the flow and said, "You can also treat me as a family member."
Ruan Chao looked at Gu Xingyan in surprise, wondering what kind of train of thought led him to say such a fantastic thing.
Gu Xingyan doesn't have the same surname as him and has no blood relationship with him, so how could he become a member of his family?
However...
His mind shifted slightly, and he softened his tone, with a coaxing tone.
"If you are always so good and obedient, and you do whatever I tell you to do, you are not prohibited from calling me that."
The slap in the face cannot end so easily.
He will definitely need Gu Xingyan in the future, so it is not impossible to give him a little benefit as he wishes.
Gu Xingyan suddenly asked, "Am I not obedient enough?"
"I helped you complete all your notes and homework. I also helped you with the leftovers from your lunch. Even the papers handed out by the teacher needed me to organize them neatly, otherwise you wouldn't be able to find them the next day..."
"When have I failed to complete what you asked me to do?"
Seeing that Ruan Chao did not react or answer his questions, he just blinked and stared at him blankly.
Gu Xingyan took a step closer to him.
The distance that had been widened suddenly narrowed again.
Nguyen Chao was forced to retreat back to the cramped, small corner where he could feel the coldness of the wall through the thin cloth.
Boys who were much taller than him looked down at him.
Compared to his previous deliberate pretense of indifference and ruthlessness, there was now some suppressed emotion in his eyes, slightly surging, as if about to burst out in the next second.
His pupils were not the pure black that Ruan Chao remembered, but rather a little mottled, as if someone had sprinkled a handful of tiny stars in them, and in the moment the ripples of light flowed, an entire universe was brewed.
Nguyen Chao was a little out of breath.
For some unknown reason, my mood started to tense up.
Perhaps it was because Gu Xingyan displayed an aggressiveness he had never shown before, which made him suddenly realize that the boy in front of him was far from being as harmless as he had imagined.
He is no longer the poor little thing who needs his help, needs his rescue, and needs him to feed him every day to ensure that he is not hungry.
Or maybe his previous definition of pitiful Gu Xingyan was wrong.
The identities of hunter and prey suddenly reversed, allowing the inferior who was originally at a disadvantage to suddenly become superior.
The boy's fingers moved closer to Ruan Chao, and Ruan Chao instinctively dodged back.
The slightly heated fingertips fell on the side of his face, pressing down the curled hair on the side.
The other party's deliberately suppressed voice also rang in my ears.
"Even if it's your dog, it can't be more obedient than me, right?"
Ruan Chao's breathing became a little irregular and he pushed him hard.
Didn't push it away.
He even compared himself to a dog...How could a dog corner its owner and not be able to be pushed away?
He is clearly a wolf that is greedy for meat, and the most ferocious kind.
"Stop acting, it's over."
“…”
"Gu Xingyan, did you hear what I said?"
Nguyen Chao increased his strength, but the opponent's body remained motionless.
His fingers were curled up and dug into Gu Xingyan's chest, making the piece of clothing a mess.
"I said it's over, get up quickly."
There was another long silence.
Ruan Chao's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and he felt a little panicked.
When Gu Xingyan showed weakness in front of him, he could bully him wantonly, trample him under his feet recklessly, and order him around arrogantly like a little slave.
And when he showed an unusually tough attitude, the Nguyen Dynasty... the Nguyen Dynasty was a little unsure of what to do.
It is a very typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, which will be performed vividly from the heart.
Just when Nguyen Chao was considering whether to bend down and get out from under him... Although this behavior is not beautiful, it is also a way to escape.
Gu Xingyan suddenly said "OK".
He chuckled and stood up straight: "I'll get up."
His hands were placed at his sides properly, and he did not move his hands as he did before. Facing Nguyen Chao's scrutinizing gaze, he lowered his eyelashes and drooped his brows, and he was just about to raise his hands to show his harmlessness.
Ruan Chao glared at him.
"You just..."
“It’s about improvisation.”
Ruan Chao: “…” Do I seem so easy to deceive? I will believe anything you say?
The feeling just now was clearly different from before.
It's like...
Nguyen Chao swallowed his rebuttal.
He had a feeling that if he expressed his true feelings, the current harmonious atmosphere would be broken and something he didn't want to see would happen.
Nguyen Chao's cautious sixth sense made him remain silent at the right time.
He walked around Gu Xingyan and walked forward without looking back.
Gu Xingyan followed closely behind him, softening his voice and calling his nickname over and over again.
"Chao Chao..."
"Are you satisfied with my performance just now?"
"Is this the look you like?"
"If that's not bad enough, I can try harder."
Compared to the beginning when he was at a loss and needed Nguyen Chao to teach him how to be bad and vicious, Gu Xingyan is now obviously much more capable and can even "express freely" according to his own ideas.
The Nguyen Dynasty was very annoyed by him.
She just wanted to block his mouth with a loud voice.
Gu Xingyan: "If you are satisfied, can you give me a little reward?"
Ruan Chao: “…” How shameless! He actually wants a reward.
If you dare to ask for a reward now, you will dare to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the future.
If you dare to act over his head and bully others in the future, who knows what even more outrageous things you might do.
The bottom line was taken away little by little.
Should we reward him then?
Okay, okay.
Ruan Chao glanced at him and said, "I'll call you tonight."
"And more."
"…I'll go with you after school."
"And then?"
"You can have some candy too."
"Um……"
Nguyen Chao was unhappy and warned him: "Don't push it any further."
…
Apart from pinching his face twice, squeezing his chin, and saying a few cold and crazy words, Gu Xingyan didn't do anything to him.
I don’t know whether this “slap in the face” approach is feasible.
Ruan Chao borrowed a small mirror from the girl in the front row.
I looked at my face in the mirror and saw a barely noticeable red mark on my jaw.
It was pressed by Gu Xingyan before.
It will disappear soon.
Ruan Chao pressed his fingers there, secretly increasing the pressure to make the mark look a little more obvious.
Then he made an aggrieved expression and went to the system to complain.
[System, system, look, Gu Xingyan really hates me. He hurt my face. He is just taking revenge on me.]
System: [……]
[The harsh words he said simply crushed my self-esteem. I have never felt so sad.]
System: […]
[He also didn’t let me bite him and threatened to break all my teeth out. He also said he would bully me until I cried, and he wouldn’t let me go if I didn’t cry well.]
System: […………]
[He even brought up old issues with me, bringing up all the things I asked him to do in the past. It’s clear that he’s been dissatisfied for a long time…]
System: [………………]
Ruan Chao can no longer act: [System, please say something. ]
The system spoke with difficulty: [Chao Chao, am I also a part of your play? ]
What play?
Ruan Chao was stunned for a moment.
[Isn’t he slapping me in the face? ]
System: […]
[He treated me coldly, said nasty things to me, pushed me into a corner when I was weak and helpless, and even hurt me...]
[He treated me so badly, doesn't that prove that he was taking revenge on me?]
The system said weakly: [But... this is what you agreed on beforehand. We are just acting.]
The Nguyen Dynasty pressed on: [Doesn't the employee manual say that employees are not allowed to act with the protagonists of Little World? ]
I got full marks in the system theory course and could recite the employee manual by heart. It was very clear that this regulation was not mentioned in the main text or the appendix.
Because there has never been a precedent of the protagonist and the staff colluding with each other.
The silence of the system means everything.
Ruan Chao: [If there is none, it means my operation is feasible. ]
The system had no way to refute it, and could only quietly remind me: [After the mission is completed, the judgment will be completed by the main system. Even if... even if I think the same as you, the result may not be what we want. ]
The worst possible outcome is that you fail to complete the task and have your points deducted. It can't be worse than that.
Ruan Chao returned the mirror to the girl in the front row.
He originally wanted to take out a few candies from the small bag as a thank-you gift, but then he remembered what he had just promised Gu Xingyan, and took out a box of yogurt from the book hole instead.
The girl didn't bother to be polite and took it with a smile.
The gaze that had been staring at him finally disappeared when he put down the small bag of candy and changed his mind to get the yogurt.
Ruan Chao: “…”
I give in. You have to watch this.
Remembering the promise he had just made to him, he poured out the candies in the small bag and pushed them all to Gu Xingyan.
"I'll give it to you. I'll give it all to you. I'll give it all to you to eat."
Gu Xingyan picked out a fruit candy and a milk candy and put the scattered candies back into the woven bag.
The mood is very stable.
"Ruan Chao." He held the candy in his mouth, and his breath was filled with the aroma of fruit, the slightly sweet smell of peach. "Turn your head around so I can see."
Ruan Chao turned his head and asked in confusion: "What?"
Gu Xingyan carefully touched the finger marks on his jaw, and seeing that the boy frowned slightly, he thought he had hurt him and immediately withdrew his hand.
"I didn't mean to do that."
He thought that he had used too much force and left such obvious marks on Nguyen Chao's face.
“I’ll be more careful next time,” he promised.
Ruan Chao's eyes flickered slightly.
"It's OK."
He felt that he had to look miserable so as to better confuse the main system.
How can one remain unhurt when being retaliated against?
But he was afraid of pain... and didn't want Gu Xingyan to really hit him hard.
He couldn't figure out how to satisfy both conditions at the same time, so he could only throw this problem to Gu Xingyan.
"You can be more aggressive with me, and make me look miserable... but it won't really hurt me."
Even worse, it looks miserable, but it won't hurt him...
Because I have an indescribable affection for the Nguyen Dynasty.
Or maybe he is a person with deep desires.
Gu Xingyan's thoughts were uncontrollably directed to a certain place.
His breathing became sluggish, as if there was a fire burning in his blood, as if it was going to burn away all his sanity.
If Nguyen Chao's expression had not been so natural and pure, he would have thought this was a... different kind of invitation.
