Chapter 14 Domineering School Prince's Wet Love 14 "Listen to me."...
Under the huge blue dome of the gymnasium, the swimming pool is still rippling with blue water. The excitement has ended and several cleaners are busy cleaning up the mess after the event.
[Host! A crucial plot point is about to begin! The heroine unexpectedly encounters the bully who once gave her a huge nightmare at the competition venue, and the hero will appear in time to save her!] 778 reminded.
Seeing that Jiang Lian was about to disappear at the end of the corridor, Ye Ling was about to call him.
The alarm at 778 suddenly rang: [Key plot character and hostility detected! Location: Left rear stand entrance! Target: Female protagonist Su Xiaoxiao!]
Ye Ling and Su Xiaoxiao turned around at the same time.
Three girls with heavy makeup were walking towards the entrance. The girl in the lead was chewing gum and staring at Su Xiaoxiao with malicious eyes. Two ruffian boys were following behind them.
"Hey! Who did I think it was? Isn't this our former wallflower?" The girl exaggeratedly stretched out her voice. "What? Just because you transferred to another school, you think you've become a phoenix? You even came to the gym... Hey, you're not working here mopping the floors, are you?"
Her companions behind her immediately burst into shrill laughter.
Su Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. The dark memories of being insulted suddenly came flooding back like a tide.
Ye Ling was also startled. The birds' keen sense of danger made him immediately alert.
He straightened his back, like a bird guarding its nest, and slightly turned sideways, standing in front of Su Xiaoxiao without making a sound.
"Tsk tsk, you even found a golden-haired henchman?" The leading girl glanced at Ye Ling with disdain. "Su Xiaoxiao, that's all you've got. You can only hang out with this weirdo who doesn't look normal? What? You want him to protect you?"
As she spoke, she deliberately walked forward and reached out to push Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder, "Why are you hiding? Are you unhappy to see your old classmate? Why don't you say hello?"
Just when her hand was about to touch Su Xiaoxiao.
A white, slender, and extremely firm hand suddenly grabbed the girl's wrist.
It’s... Ye Ling!
His movements were faster than anyone expected, and his hazelnut eyes, which always seemed a little timid, were now surprisingly bright.
He shook off the girl's hand and completely protected Su Xiaoxiao behind him.
The girl was confused by this sudden resistance, and then became angry and embarrassed: "Fuck! Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in my business?!" The two boys behind her immediately stepped forward and surrounded Ye Ling with unfriendly eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Several audience members who were about to leave stopped and looked over here.
Jiang Lian changed his clothes and was about to leave. He was already feeling upset, and then he accidentally saw Ye Ling standing in front of Su Xiaoxiao, with a protective attitude.
His eyes suddenly darkened.
Faced with the approach of several people, Ye Ling was so nervous that his palms were full of sweat, but he never retreated a single step.
[778!] He called the system in his mind, [Where's Jiang Lian? Why hasn't he come yet?]
[It’s coming soon! It’s coming soon!] 778 said.
Behind Ye Ling, Su Xiaoxiao looked at his determined back, feeling the warmth and unwavering courage he conveyed...
"Let's go..." A female follower whispered, seeming to be frightened by Ye Ling's eyes and the increasing number of onlookers.
"Leave? Why leave?" The leading girl was arrogant. "Su Xiaoxiao, you're a loser! You used to just act pitiful, but now you've learned to find help? And you're still a sissy who's all show and no substance! Look at him..."
"Shut up! Don't scold him!" A crisp and stern shout came.
It’s Su Xiaoxiao!
She actually stood out from behind Ye Ling, completely different from her usual timid look.
Those clear and bright eyes that had been covered for a long time looked directly at the other person without fear.
"Who do you think you are? You think you're so great just because you're in a big group?!" Su Xiaoxiao's voice trembled with excitement, but it was unusually loud. "I didn't bother with you before, not because I was afraid of you! It's because I think people like you are not worth wasting my time!"
She took a deep breath, each word ringing with force: "Now, I'm telling you, Su Xiaoxiao, I'm not afraid of you anymore! I don't need anyone to protect me!"
As she spoke, her eyes swept over Ye Ling, with a hint of gratitude, but more of a determined light, "Because I can protect myself! I survive on my own efforts! Besides forming gangs and bullying people, what else can you do?! Cowardly bullies like you don't deserve to influence my life anymore!"
This declaration was like thunder, leaving the group of bullies stunned.
Even the surrounding audience let out a low sigh of surprise. At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have broken free from invisible shackles, and her whole body was shining.
Ye Ling was stunned when she saw Su Xiaoxiao, who seemed to have been reborn.
"Ha! You're sharp-tongued, aren't you?" The girl was slapped in the face in public, and she was extremely angry and humiliated. She was about to slap Su Xiaoxiao in the face without hesitation, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk back to me!?"
"stop!"
"What's the fuss?"
Two scoldings rang out at the same time.
The moment the girl raised her hand, Ye Ling subconsciously reached out to block it.
The other voice came from Jiang Lian, who had already rushed forward, his low voice filled with cold anger.
In the chaos, Ye Ling pushed the girl's hand away, but a boy behind her took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and secretly pushed Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was caught off guard and fell backwards with a scream!
"Be careful!" Su Xiaoxiao was quick-witted and quickly went to pull Ye Ling.
At the same time, a powerful hand moved faster, firmly grasped Ye Ling's arm, and pulled him backwards.
Ye Ling bumped into a broad chest, bringing with him the familiar, clean scent of soapberries after a bath.
It’s Jiang Lian.
With one hand, he held the staggering Ye Ling firmly, and with the other hand, he lifted the collar of the boy who pushed Ye Ling, pulled him and threw him directly into the pool.
"Get lost." Jiang Lian glanced at the remaining people coldly, "If I see you in front of him again..."
“You will suffer the consequences.”
"You..." The girl in the lead was completely overshadowed by him and couldn't even utter a harsh word like "Just wait for me".
"Ah!" The boy, who had struggled to climb out of the pool, cried out in pain, his wrist red, "My hand..."
Several people on the shore swallowed their saliva in unison, helped their wet and grimacing companions, and left in a dusty state.
The crisis is resolved.
Su Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh, and an unprecedented sense of power filled her.
She turned to look at Ye Ling, her eyes shining like stars: "Ye Ling! Did you see that?! I just did it! Do you know? When I was bullied by them before, I always imagined that if only there was a man like the male lead in idol dramas who could fall from the sky to protect me..."
She clenched her fists, her smile as bright as the rising sun breaking through the clouds: "But now I feel that the feeling of bravely fighting back on my own... is simply amazing!!"
Her voice was filled with relief and pride: "I don't need to be saved! I am the best!"
Ye Ling was deeply moved by her emotions and couldn't help laughing. He nodded vigorously: "Yeah! You were so handsome just now... huh?"
After Ye Ling finished speaking, she realized that she was still in Jiang Lian's arms.
Jiang Lian's arms were wrapped around his waist, a bit too tightly. He turned his gaze away from Su Xiaoxiao and met Jiang Lian's deep, unfathomable eyes.
There was no praise, no warmth, only an indissoluble sinister atmosphere.
[Oh no…] Ye Ling's scalp tightened. Compared to the accidental touch on the bus last time, this was a real hug! He thought anxiously, [Jiang Lian must be disgusted.]
The look in Jiang Lian's eyes when he looked at him was indeed extremely terrifying.
"...That's right." Jiang Lian's voice sounded cold, and he said it to Su Xiaoxiao, but his eyes were always fixed on Ye Ling's face. "Student Su's words just now were very imposing."
At first, this sounded like a compliment, but Su Xiaoxiao's excitement instantly cooled: "Uh... thanks to Ye Ling..."
Jiang Lian didn't listen at all. He slowly lowered his head and leaned close to Ye Ling's ear, his voice very low, accompanied by warm and moist breath.
"I've helped you with the class fee issue." He tightened his grip a bit more. "Also, if it weren't for me pushing you just now, you'd be lying on the cold floor now, and you might even have a cracked head."
"Hmm..." The old accounts were not settled yet and new ones were added. Ye Ling felt so guilty that he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Ye Ling," Jiang Lian called his name, "You owe me twice. How are you going to repay me?"
"Ah?" Repay?
Ye Ling was stunned, completely unsure how to deal with this sudden situation.
Jiang Lian didn't seem to need his answer and continued on his own: "Let me think..."
During the few seconds of pause, Ye Ling's scalp seemed to be pulled tight.
Finally, judgment came.
"From now on...come whenever I call you. Listen to me. Got it?"
Um! ?
[Host! Host! Wake up! This is a piece of cake!!!] 778's voice cracked with excitement. [I'll be there whenever he calls! Listen to him! This, this, this... this is the super VIP channel for the pervert mission! He's actively giving you a backdoor, letting you openly become perverted! Hurry and agree to it!]
Ye Ling: “…”
He looked into Jiang Lian's dark, turbulent eyes, felt the irresistible restraining force on his waist, and listened to 778's excited encouragement in his mind...
Hmm...something's not right.
Was it the way Jiang Lian looked at him? Just like... when he was at the flower and bird market, he'd seen those humans gazing at their favorite birds through their cages with that controlling gaze?
But the inexperienced little bird's mind was in a mess and he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
Trusting and relying on humans is an instinct ingrained in pet birds like him.
After a while, he nodded with difficulty: "...Yeah."
The tension on the arms around my waist finally loosened a little.
"You're quite sensible. Remember, from today on, you have to listen to me." Jiang Lian said with a half-smile, "If you dare to refuse, you'll be soaked to the skin."
After this final threat, Ye Ling glanced at the pool of water at her feet and breathed a sigh of relief: [Ah... He really does hate me.]
He is a perverted pervert, and Jiang Lian is right to hate him.
But this understanding is mixed with a hint of inexplicable frustration.
The author has something to say:

It's still early for the little bird to really understand.
