"Quick, that's Wu Yue who just ran past!"
"What's going on? How did she know we were going to ambush her?"
Wu Yue: ...I don't know.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and chase after them!"
Wu Yue turned around and saw the white shadow floating on the rooftop.
scare!
He immediately took off running.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Wu Yue's pace gradually slowed down.
She hasn't run in many years, and she doesn't usually care about 'modes of transportation' like running or walking.
Wu Yue looked around; this was her first time leaving the school gates.
...I was truly a stranger in this unfamiliar place.
As she ran, she sensed the abundant yang energy nearby and stopped.
I never expected to run into a narrow alley, only to find myself in a dead end.
"You brat, let's see where you can run now."
That fierce-sounding voice... suddenly sounds kind of cute.
Wu Yue turned around.
There were about ten people.
Well, if that white figure catches up, she can throw one in each hand to block it, which will buy her some time.
Suddenly, Wu Yue's gaze towards them softened considerably.
[Hahahaha, such a kind gaze!]
【Don't be afraid, girl, I'm protecting you from behind the screen~~~】
[Don't tell me, I just glanced at the ghost, it had no face, it was terrifying!]
The girl tilted her head slightly, a shallow dimple appearing at the corner of her mouth: "Are you gentlemen going to escort me home?"
"You're being too kind. Who wants to take you home? We have professional ethics; we're just people who do things for money!"
The white-haired leader spat out in accented Mandarin: "Wu Yue, we're giving you one more chance. Transfer schools. Stay away from Miss Qi's boyfriend."
"Please, I've never even met her boyfriend!" the girl exclaimed, slapping her thigh in anger.
"What? You've never met them? Then how can you say they like you?"
Wu Yue then angrily retorted, "Is this some kind of upgraded version of Platonic love? He's just making things up out of thin air, fabricating and imagining things out of nothing! I have absolutely no connection with him."
Seeing the white-haired man's stunned expression, Wu Yue seized the opportunity and said, "Brothers, I really have nothing to do with that person. How about this, I promise you I'll avoid that person from now on. And then, I'll pay you some money, and you guys can take me home?"
Why do you want us to take you home?
"I'm a frail woman, and quite pretty, it's not safe for me to walk alone at night."
Bai Mao glanced back at his brothers, and their eyes met, their brainwaves colliding.
He then asked slowly, "How much?"
How about 100 per person?
"Deal!" White Hair agreed quickly, as if he was afraid that Wu Yue would change her mind.
Wu Yue casually reached into her school uniform pocket.
There seems to be a... bonus card...
"Then I'll have to trouble you all."
Wu Yue had long sensed that although these people seemed like scoundrels, they weren't truly evil. Aside from intimidating her with their imposing presence, they had no intention of killing her.
She's the kind of paper tiger whose limit is collecting protection money; even if she were a real tiger, well, she could handle it.
[This white-haired guy's accent is so cute! It's hilarious!]
There's nothing in this world that money can't resolve; if there is, then double the amount!
This girl is a negotiation genius, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!

Wu Yue lives a bit far from the school, in a villa complex on the outskirts of the city. Bus number 58 goes directly there, although it's still a bit of a walk.
The family background the system assigned to her was quite to her liking.
My parents are workaholics and only come back twice a year: once for Chinese New Year and once for their wedding anniversary.
It's better to avoid meeting in person to avoid awkwardness. She's never been very good at handling relationships with family members.
Every week, a professional comes to the house to clean and maintain the villa.
After seeing Bai Mao and his group off, they exchanged contact information.
Wu Yue accidentally made her first friend in this world.
