It was during the second semester of her freshman year. After class, Mu Liuyun received an order from a bar.
After delivering the takeout to the bar, Mu Liuyun saw Shui Qing sitting with her roommates from afar. She thought about going over to say hello, but she heard them a few steps away.
"That guy is clearly a man, but he looks so disgusting."
"Everyone says he's handsome. His family is so poor, I don't know how he managed to get into university."
"Hehehe, Shuiqing, that kid actually thought you considered him a friend!"
Mu Liuyun had heard these hurtful words many times, but she didn't think much of them. On the contrary, she was quite pleased that Shui Qing could chat with her roommate.
He didn't expect Shui Qing to speak up for him, but to his surprise, Shui Qing just scoffed twice at his roommates' insults and echoed, "Who would consider such disgusting people as friends?"
These words didn't actually hurt Mu Liuyun much; they just made her feel a little regretful.
There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.
Shui Qing may not hate bullying, but she just hates that the bully isn't her.
Thinking that his sincere feelings had been wasted, Mu Liuyun didn't say much. Already used to disappointment, he silently walked out of the bar, put on his yellow helmet, and continued his busy night.
From then on, Mu Liuyun distanced herself from Shui Qing, thinking that their relationship had come to an end.
Unexpectedly, Shuiqing suddenly found him and offered him 20,000 yuan a month to continue being her "friend".
Mu Liuyun knew perfectly well that the "friends" Shui Qing mentioned were just people who provided "humor" for Shui Qing and her roommates. But the price she offered was too much for Mu Liuyun to refuse at the time.
It was precisely because of Shuiqing's offer that Mu Liuyun discovered a new business opportunity.
It's just taking Shuiqing's place to be bullied, so she can maintain her relationship with her roommate. He's almost tired of hearing the insults anyway. Compared to the exorbitant price of 20,000 a month, even using insults as a reward isn't so bad!
And so, Mu Liuyun became a substitute for the bullied and lived a life earning over ten thousand yuan a month.
It wasn't until she met the generous boss, Shen Lanxin, that Mu Liuyun ended this ridiculous relationship.
Therefore, if you, Shui Qing, use the word "friend" to talk to Mu Liuyun now, Mu Liuyun can only say "friend" when she hears it.
'I want to laugh, I really want to laugh!'
Since Mu Liuyun now has plenty of savings, she doesn't need Shui Qing's "friendship fee" anymore, so she bluntly said, "Friend, I'm not your friend. I'm just a substitute, a substitute who takes the bullying for you."
As soon as the word "bullying" left her lips, Shui Qing visibly felt guilty, a hurt expression appearing on her face: "I...I didn't, how could you say that? I just..."
"Shuiqing, what are you doing? Come eat!"
Before Shuiqing could finish speaking, several girls at the cafeteria entrance stopped her. They were Shuiqing's roommates.
Upon hearing their voices, Shui Qing suddenly panicked and even used her body to block Mu Liuyun from seeing her roommates.
"Coming, coming!"
After making this move, Shui Qing felt even more guilty and didn't dare to look at Mu Liuyun. She turned around and ran towards her roommates.
Even as she ran, she didn't forget to use her body to shield Mu Liuyun from view.
Mu Liuyun smiled sarcastically.
Look, she's even more pitiful now than when she was being subjected to emotional abuse from her roommate.
"Seriously, you said you were treating today."
"If you're going to dawdle, just say so."
"Exactly, why do you overthink our relationship?"
"But I'm always the one paying..."
Mu Liuyun had no interest in watching the chattering scene any longer and headed straight for the teachers' apartment near the boys' dormitory.
What Mu Liuyun didn't notice was that as he left, Shui Qing at the cafeteria entrance kept staring at him, her beautiful eyes filled with guilt and a strange fervor.
...
...
As soon as she reached the apartment building, Mu Liuyun stopped.
Although he often felt sorry for Shui Qing, who was subjected to emotional abuse by her roommate, Mu Liuyun's own situation wasn't much different. Because of his unusual appearance, he was also assigned to the teachers' apartment and given a single room.
Moreover, with Li Hong's help, the annual fee for this single room was the same as that of the dormitory building, so Mu Liuyun wouldn't feel too much pressure.
At that moment, a pretty woman, dressed in baggy clothes, wearing slippers, and with messy hair, rushed out of the apartment building.
This woman was Mu Liuyun's mentor, Li Hong.
Seeing that Li Hong was about to rush past Mu Liuyun, he quickly shouted, "Sister Li!"
Hearing Mu Liuyun's voice, Li Hong stopped and adjusted her slippers before approaching Mu Liuyun. Her voice tinged with surprise, she exclaimed, "Little Yunzi, it really is you! You're so short, I didn't even see you!"
"Sister Li, you ran too fast."
Mu Liuyun knew that Li Hong meant no harm; it was just her personality.
Otherwise, all the students under her care wouldn't affectionately call her Sister Li.
Li Hong crossed her arms, making her clothes form a nice curve, and said, feigning anger, "I promised to help you get leave, why are you only coming to school now that it's been so long since the semester started?"
Mu Liuyun scratched her head and replied with an embarrassed smile, "Sister Li, there was a bit of a problem at work, so I was a few days late."
"Hmph! Anyway, remember this: I can help you with absences, but you'll have to take all the exams yourself."
"And you keep an eye on that other guy too, or I'll make sure you don't graduate either!"
Shi Hengyu, who had just run over, was inexplicably dragged into this, but he couldn't get angry and could only keep nodding.
Seeing the two of them looking meek and obedient, and noticing many girls coming out of the cafeteria secretly watching Shi Hengyu from the side, Li Hong, who had laughed out loud, tidied her hair.
"I'm not teasing you anymore. I have something to do right now, so I'm leaving first. Mu Liuyun, you better remember this, I'll deal with you later."
After saying that, Li Hong didn't wait for Mu Liuyun's reply and rushed towards the school gate again.
Watching Li Hong's retreating figure, Shi Hengyu couldn't help but sigh, "What a good teacher."
Mu Liuyun nodded in agreement. Everyone knows that self-discipline is key in university; teachers and class advisors don't really care about you. Only Li Hong is different. She's naturally warm-hearted and pays close attention to every student.
Mu Liuyun survived her most difficult period thanks to Li Hong's help.
Now that Mu Liuyun has made some money, he's thinking about when he can repay his advisor.
At the very least, I should treat her to a meal.
