Chapter 2 The Noble Academy Substitute (2) This Jealous Person...
Chapter Two
Xu Yu walked to Xia Zhi's side, looking at Lin Yue with a blank expression and a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Unaware of this, Xia Zhi was preoccupied with figuring out how to keep the story unfolding as originally planned. Although she didn't understand why the plot had deviated, she could only take it one step at a time.
She looked at Lin Yue, whose dress was slightly damp because someone had splashed a glass of water on her earlier. Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then looked at Xu Yu, "Take Lin Yue to my room. I have something to say to them."
Upon hearing Xia Zhi's words, the girls who had just bullied Lin Yue couldn't help but gasp.
The senior student wants to talk to them?
Xu Yu stood still, looking at Xia Zhi with a hint of mockery in his eyes, "I'm not that kind, unlike you."
Xia Zhi was a little speechless upon hearing this, but the situation was urgent, so she could only say helplessly, "Then you should talk to them properly. I'll take her to my room to change her dress first."
Xu Yu hummed in response and gave the group of girls an extremely cold look.
The girls looked a little panicked. The senior told them that they could accept it, but if it were Xu Yu's turn, things wouldn't be so simple.
Although most students at this academy enter through the national college entrance examination, its exorbitant tuition fees make it inaccessible to the average person. Xu Yu's background is even more special; his family's businesses span the entire country, boasting an exceptionally vast commercial empire. Having already appeared on the rich list at a young age, Xu Yu could easily have someone quietly leave the academy.
One of the girls couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior!"
Xia Zhi glanced at them with a bit of a strange look, only to find that they looked terrified, as if they were very afraid of Xu Yu.
Xia Zhi then looked at Xu Yu and said, "Xu Yu, be a little gentler with them."
Xu Yu's eyes darkened slightly, then he chuckled softly, "Of course."
Xia Zhi nodded, then looked at Lin Yue, "What's your name? Your dress is wet, come to my room."
Lin Yue said timidly, "Senior, my name is Lin Yue."
Xia Zhi nodded. "Yueyue, let's go."
Lin Yue looked at Xia Zhi, and when she heard Xia Zhi call her by her nickname, she was deeply moved. Since entering this academy, she hadn't heard such a gentle address in a long time.
Lin Yue felt like crying, but she forced herself to hold it back.
She followed silently behind Xia Zhi, feeling a sense of security she had never felt before.
However… she naturally recognized Xu Yu. Someone had accidentally stepped on his shoes earlier and was subsequently ostracized. Lin Yue knew that Xu Yu was a terrifying man.
But Xia Zhi... doesn't seem to know?
Just as Lin Yue was hesitating whether to remind Xia Zhi, she suddenly heard Xia Zhi say slowly, "Although Xu Yu is a bit quiet, he can be soft-hearted sometimes."
Lin Yue:......
Xia Zhi added, "Sometimes I'm soft-hearted towards certain people."
"Of course it's because you're too soft-hearted, Lin Yue!" Xia Zhi silently added in her mind, but her expression remained unchanged.
Lin Yue could only nod.
Xia Zhi then casually picked up a dress and said, "You can wear this dress for now."
Lin Yue glanced at the dress; it was clearly expensive and obviously Xia Zhi's size. She was shocked. "Senior, I can't wear your dress!"
Xia Zhi smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, we're about the same size, you can wear it."
Lin Yue could only nod, then picked up the dress. "Then I'll go to the fitting room to change... Thank you, senior."
While Lin Yue went to change her dress, Xia Zhi decided to go outside to check on the situation. Just as she was about to step out, she bumped into Xie Yi.
Xie Yi saw her, smiled at her, and said, "Zhizhi, I came in to get something."
Xia Zhi stopped him with one hand, "Wait, someone is changing clothes inside."
Xie Yi paused slightly as he pushed the door open, his fist clenching instinctively, but he smiled casually. "Who is it? Male or female?"
Xia Zhi said, "The girl was bullied just now. By the way, go check on Xu Yu. I just asked Xu Yu to have a good talk with them."
Xie Yi nodded. "Okay."
He appeared increasingly obedient on the surface, but inwardly grew increasingly sarcastic. Xu Yu's greatest skill was feigning innocence and silence in front of Xia Zhi; in reality, he was incredibly wicked. And now, he was definitely jealous, probably going to make those people drop out of school or something.
But compared to this...
Xie Yi smiled and asked, "A girl? What's her name?"
Xia Zhi mistakenly thought he was interested in the female lead, so she quickly said, "Lin Yue, isn't that a nice name!"
Xie Yi hummed in agreement. Lin Yue? He seemed to vaguely remember her; she was in the special talent class among this year's freshmen.
Because this prestigious academy only admits a few new students each year, he naturally remembered it.
Xie Yi said casually, "You must be a freshman in this year's special talent class."
Xia Zhi nodded, then said, "Go and take a look. Thank you."
Xie Yi hummed in agreement and said half-jokingly, "I guess Xu Yu has already solved it. My going there would be a waste of time."
Xie Yi left after saying that. Xia Zhi watched his back as he walked away, and then pushed the door open again and went into the room.
Lin Yue had already changed her clothes, and she looked at herself in the mirror with a little unease.
Xia Zhi then noticed that not only was her figure similar to hers, but even her eyes were somewhat similar to hers.
No wonder she later thought she was a substitute.
Xia Zhi almost laughed, so she stepped forward and reassured her, "This dress suits you very well."
Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, "Thank you, senior. This is the first time I've realized how pretty I am."
Xia Zhi smiled gently, "It's okay, there will be more opportunities in the future."
Lin Yue let out a confused "Ah," not quite understanding what Xia Zhi meant by that.
Xia Zhi said, "If they bully you again next time, come find me, or find Xu Yu and the others."
Lin Yue quickly shook her head, "Senior, you're troubling us too much."
Xia Zhi thought to herself, "Isn't this all part of the original plot?" So she shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's exchange contact information."
Lin Yue choked, and could only lower her head and exchange contact information with Xia Zhi.
The two had just exchanged contact information when they simultaneously heard a knock on the door.
Xia Zhi glanced at the somewhat flustered Lin Yue, then went to open the door. Outside stood Xie Yi and Xu Yu, both with indifferent expressions.
Xia Zhi asked Xu Yu curiously, "What did you just say?"
Xu Yu said calmly, "Tell them not to bully Lin Yue again next time."
Xia Zhi nodded, "Okay."
Xie Yi smiled enigmatically. Xu Yu really was a good liar. When he arrived, those girls had already been cleared out; their fate was certainly not good. After all, offending Xu Yu, that jealous guy, was indeed troublesome.
Xu Yu's gaze fell on Lin Yue.
Xia Zhi silently took a step outside, allowing Xu Yu to see her more clearly.
Lin Yue could feel two unfamiliar and cold gazes piercing her like needles, leaving her somewhat confused. She quickly realized that these two people clearly didn't welcome her.
She was well aware of her own limitations, so she slowly said, "Senior, I want to go out... um, I want to go get some cake."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead and eat. The cakes here must be very sweet."
Xie Yi twitched the corner of her mouth. How could it not taste good when it was just made by a top chef?
Lin Yue pushed open the door to leave, but heard Xie Yi say calmly, "Stay away from her in the future."
Lin Yue's eyes widened suddenly, and she subconsciously looked at Xie Yi. Xie Yi smiled happily, as if she were very friendly, "Junior, you can come to us anytime if you need anything next time."
Lin Yue was speechless; she could only nod.
She subconsciously turned to look at Xia Zhi, hesitant to speak. Did Senior Xia know how two-faced they were? Did Senior Xia know how controlling they were?
Lin Yue subconsciously shook her head. Senior Xia had been really good to her, and she couldn't just stand by and watch Senior Xia be kept in the dark!
But she...
Lin Yue met Xie Yi's seemingly smiling eyes. Xie Yi bowed slightly and said, "Junior, what's wrong? You can call me anytime if you need anything."
Lin Yue could feel Xie Yi's face gradually approaching, and she couldn't help but gasp. Xie Yi's eyes, which held a smile yet also a hint of threatening intent, instilled fear in her.
Lin Yue could only say, "Thank you, senior, thank you all... I'd like to go eat some cake first..."
Xia Zhi nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Lin Yue basically fled in panic. Xia Zhi watched her hurried steps and couldn't help but sigh. According to the original plot, Lin Yue was indeed very afraid of them at first.
Because of their identity and status...
However, this was the first time the male leads and the female lead met, and Xie Yi's words and Xu Yu's handling of the situation should have followed the original plot.
Xia Zhi glanced at Xie Yi, "What were you trying to get just now?"
Xie Yi took a few steps forward and picked up the bracelet from the table next to her with one hand. The bracelet had gold edges and some thorny thorns along the edges.
Xia Zhi had never seen such a peculiar bracelet before, so she couldn't help but ask, "Did you wear this yourself? Why does this bracelet look so strange?"
Xie Yi shook her head, "It's a gift, I'll give it to someone else later."
Xia Zhi nodded without asking any further questions. However, when she saw the bracelet that seemed to bind her, she felt a strange chill for some reason.
He might give it to Lin Yue later, since they'll continue their torturous entanglement.
Xia Zhi yawned. She hadn't slept well last night because the system Xiao Qi had informed her in advance that the female lead would appear.
So she plans to go back to her dorm and catch up on some sleep after it's over.
Xie Yi noticed that she seemed a little sleepy, so he subconsciously asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Xia Zhi nodded, "I need to catch up on some sleep after this is over."
Xie Yi lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, her eyes filled with melancholy, and gently stroked the bracelet with her hand. "I was originally planning to take you for a walk around the neighborhood."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Next time."
Xie Yi could only nod, then he looked at Xu Yu, who had been silent all along, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Want to go to the usual place?"
Xu Yu nodded, "Okay, go call Ziyue."
Xia Zhi looked at them. Although she was now their 'white moonlight', the three of them still had a good relationship and often went out together. But where was their usual spot?
