Chapter 36, Did she bully you?
Witnessing how Jiang Ran pushed the person down the stairs, Su Qin, who thought Jiang Ran would swallow her anger, couldn't help but applaud her: That's what I said, to deal with the kind of person who doesn't listen to others, just beat her until she listens to others.
After a dizzying moment, Zhou Jian's eyes went dark, and his whole body felt as if all the bones were falling apart, sore and painful.
She lay stiffly on the ground until her vision returned, and then she realized that she had been pushed down the stairs by Jiang Ran.
"Zhou Zhou!" Luo Rui, who had been watching the confrontation between Zhou Jian and Jiang Ran, saw that things had gotten out of hand. She hurried out of the room and ran downstairs to help Zhou Jian up. "Are you okay, Zhou Zhou?"
Someone comforted her, and Zhou Jian's suppressed grievances suddenly burst out. Her eyes were red, and she wiped away the tears that welled up, choking back sobs: "No...it's okay."
Xie Chengzhi also heard the noise.
As the team leader, even if it was just to maintain the most basic dignity of the team, Xie Chengzhi could not just watch Zhou Jian being bullied by Jiang Ran without saying anything.
He raised his hand to stop Jiang Ran who was about to leave, and his gaze on the girl's face was filled with a bit of heartache and regret.
Ranran was not like this before. Although she was not very talkative, she was very well-behaved and would listen to him and rescue stray cats and dogs. His Ranran was a kind and gentle girl, just like Luo Rui, who would not hurt others and would not bully the weak.
Now what is she doing?
She pushed her former teammate down the stairs with a nonchalant expression on her face... Is this the Ranran he once liked?
There was a moment when Xie Chengzhi felt as if he had never understood Jiang Ranran.
But after a fleeting moment of doubt, I felt more sorry for the girl's change.
Being blocked by a boy, Jiang Ran looked at him coldly: "Xie Chengzhi, why are you stopping me?"
She called his name coldly, and there was no longer the expectation and tenderness in her eyes when she looked at him in the past. Xie Chengzhi's heart tightened inexplicably, and he finally understood that this woman no longer had any feelings for him between men and women.
"You can't leave." He lowered his eyelids to hide the disappointment in his eyes and whispered, "Zhou Jian is my teammate. You did such a cruel thing to her. You must give an explanation."
"An explanation?" Jiang Ran said calmly, "What do you want an explanation for?"
Ask him what kind of explanation he wants? How should he answer? Should he push Jiang Ranran down the stairs as well? Xie Chengzhi was speechless for a moment.
"Ranran, I don't know what Zhou Zhou said to make you angry, but pushing someone down the stairs was really too much." Luo Rui helped Zhou Jian up the stairs with a cold face, "Apologize to Zhou Zhou."
"You said it was my fault for pushing her down the stairs and asked me to apologize." Jiang Ran said, "Then she came to accuse me and slander me without asking any questions. Does she have to apologize to me too?"
"I didn't." Zhou Jian retorted, "When did I ever slander you? Do you have any evidence? Don't make false accusations!"
"When did I push you down the stairs? Do you have any evidence? Don't make things up!" Jiang Ran replied calmly, "It was obviously you who slipped and fell."
Zhou Jian: “……???”
It was the first time she met such a shameless woman. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond.
"Did you see me push her over?" Jiang Ran blocked Zhou Jian's path and glanced at Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui, who both looked grim. "Did you see that?"
Xie Chengzhi remained silent.
He didn't see it, but he knew that Zhou Jian wouldn't be stupid enough to slip and fall.
Her eyes fell on the silent Xie Chengzhi. Luo Rui wanted to stand up and testify for her friend, accuse Jiang Ranran, and make her apologize...
But she can't.
She just watched the two people quarreling and did nothing - as a gentle and generous vice-captain, such behavior would only damage her image in the eyes of Xie Chengzhi and the team members.
If she admitted it, Jiang Ranran would definitely use this sentence to attack her.
It's not worth it to sacrifice yourself just for Jiang Ranran's apology.
…
Jiang Ran calmly stared at the three speechless people and said, "Since no one has any evidence, no one can convince the other to apologize..." She glared at Xie Chengzhi, "Captain Xie, can I leave now?"
The veins on his forehead twitched, Xie Chengzhi clenched his fingers into a fist, and slowly lowered his arm.
"Oh, there's something I should remind Ms. Zhou." After taking two steps, Jiang Ran turned back to look at Zhou Jian and smiled slightly. "Before you stand up for others in the future, it's best to consider your own abilities first. Don't be so foolish as to think you're so great just because you're the first to do something."
Zhou Jian: “…”
That bitch! She's so ungrateful!
If she wasn't taught a lesson, she would really think she was afraid of her!
Her rationality evaporated, and Zhou Jian rushed forward two steps in anger, with slender wind blades condensed on her fingertips. She thought that even if she killed Jiang Ran, would Si Xu really let her pay with her life for an ordinary person?
Realizing Zhou Jian's intention, Luo Rui, who was holding her arm, pretended not to know and quietly let go of her hand.
The wind blade condensed, and Zhou Jian stared at the girl's slender back. Just as he was about to release the wind blade, he heard a cold voice coming from the first floor.
"What are you doing?"
The chilling voice came with spiritual pressure, more threatening than any sharp blade. Zhou Jian's whole body stiffened, and he reflexively withdrew his hand, trying to pretend nothing had happened.
Hearing the same sound, Jiang Ran stuck his head out of the corridor and saw the familiar figure.
The drama upstairs was so exciting that it was not until Si Xu spoke that the other people in the room noticed the two people who had returned.
The crowd of onlookers in the corner scattered.
Gu Yunqing stood beside Su Qin, brushing the snow off his shoulders, and muttered, "What's going on upstairs?"
"That guy caused trouble for Ranran and was taught a lesson by her."
While the two were talking, Si Xu had already gone upstairs.
When the young man passed by Zhou Jian, he didn't even give her a glance.
The spiritual pressure swept over, and Zhou Jian's legs went limp. Fortunately, Luo Rui supported him in time and prevented him from kneeling on the ground.
Luo Rui was no less relaxed than Zhou Jian, supporting her. The girl relied on her willpower to hold on, avoiding revealing her embarrassment.
It's so terrifying... the spiritual pressure from a high-level psychic.
Unexpectedly, Si Xu acted so quickly. Jiang Ran's indifferent expression was quickly replaced by surprise.
Not wanting to bother with Zhou Jian and Luo Rui anymore, she ran over to Si Xu and brushed off the snowflakes stuck to his coat. "Your coat is soaking wet. You'll catch a cold. Don't you have an umbrella?"
"I'm in the way." He answered the girl's question, dodging her outstretched hand. Si Xu tapped her wrist, reminding her not to touch him, "My hands are cold."
The fingertips that touched her were indeed icy cold. Jiang Ran ignored his evasion and grabbed his hand, holding it in her palm to warm it: "You know it's cold, but you don't wear gloves."
Was she blaming him? It was the first time Si Xu was taught a lesson, and surprisingly, he didn't feel unhappy.
The young man lowered his eyes and obediently let her hold and rub his hands. Feeling his hands slowly warm up, he turned his attention to solving the problem just now.
Hmm... His eyes swept over Xie Chengzhi and stopped on Zhou Jian.
The tenderness that was originally hidden in his eyes disappeared completely, and what remained was only the coldness after being offended.
Being stared at in such a manner, Zhou Jian hid behind Luo Rui in panic like a frightened rabbit.
Seeing the girl's timid look, Si Xu looked away, losing interest.
But a guy of this level is really a letdown.
He sighed and turned his attention to Jiang Ran - well, this kind of guy would be a good training ground for his little girl.
"Jiang Ran."
"Um?"
"Did that guy bully you?"
"Why?"
"She just tried to kill you." Si Xu remained calm. "I'll cut off her hand and use it as a target for you to practice shooting at, okay?"
Jiang Ran: "Ah?"
She blinked, then realized he was talking about Zhou Jian.
Also coming to their senses were the girl and her companion who were about to be made into targets by the tyrant for his favorite concubine to practice shooting.
Although he was almost unable to move due to the opponent's spiritual pressure, Xie Chengzhi still stood in front of the two girls and said in a deep voice: "Professor Si, have you forgotten that our two teams are now in a cooperative relationship?"
"Two teams?" Si Xu said honestly, "That's Gu Yunqing's team. It has nothing to do with me."
That special ability team belongs to Gu Yunqing, not to him - in fact, he and Gu Yunqing's special ability team can be considered a cooperative relationship.
This person wants to break the agreement?! Xie Chengzhi clenched his fists, his throat moving. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Professor Si, I think this is all a misunderstanding. Zhou Jian is usually so disrespectful. Please don't take it personally. I'll apologize to Ranran on her behalf."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ran again, "Ranran, please forgive me for my mistakes and forgive Zhou Jian this time."
Admitting his mistake so easily? From the time he entered the book till now, this was the first time Jiang Ran looked at Xie Chengzhi differently.
Well, as the male protagonist of the original book, Xie Chengzhi has many redeeming qualities - he is good-looking, has a good temper, is talented, cares for his teammates, makes decisions promptly, and can bend and stretch when facing strong enemies.
Knowing that Si Xu would not give up under such circumstances, and knowing that they were no match for Si Xu, they did not even bother to argue and simply apologized to her...
Compared with this male protagonist, Si Xu, who breaks other people's hands and feet and feeds them to zombies at any time, looks like a cruel, ruthless, bullying and inhuman villain.
Well, he was originally a villain.
But, this villain is from her family. She always helps her relatives and not others, and is protective and stingy, just like him.
Besides, compared with Si Xu's righteous evil, Zhou Jian, who wanted to rely on his supernatural powers to plot against her, an ordinary person, was not much more righteous.
Zhou Jian's actions were despicable, and she couldn't let Si Xu dirty his hands because of such a person.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran squeezed Si Xu's hand tightly: "Si Xu, I find it offensive to have that kind of person as a target - I don't want it."
Eye-catching? Si Xu tilted his head: Is she dissatisfied with that woman's appearance? She's just a target for practice. Hmm... So she cares so much about appearance?
Thinking he understood girls a little better, Si Xu didn't force her to accept a target she didn't like: "Aren't zombies more eye-catching than her? You were pretty accurate when you shot them."
"That's different." This guy's train of thought was really strange, Jiang Ran found it funny.
Seeing that he wanted to ask more questions, she hurriedly pulled his arm and went to the room, "Don't worry about them for now, Si Xu, I have something to tell you. Oh, by the way, change your clothes before I talk..."
I think after today's incident, Zhou Jian will be much more well-behaved for a while.
Moreover, in the original novel, Zhou Jian's ending was not very good - just like her as the female No. N, Zhou Jian, the female supporting role, also turned against Luo Rui in the end and became a stepping stone to highlight the powerful halo of the heroine.
In this case, just prepare some melon seeds and fruits and watch them fight each other. There is no need to jump out and get yourself into trouble.
