Chapter 4 The Noble Academy Substitute (4) Don't push me onto someone else...
Chapter Four
Lin Yue glanced at the three of them and finally chose a seat furthest away from them. Xia Zhi quickly sat down and, noticing Lin Yue's unease, reassured her, "Yueyue, eat whatever you like."
Lin Yue nodded, but felt increasingly frustrated. Why had Xia Zhi brought her here? Clearly, none of the three people here welcomed her.
Meng Ziyue looked at Lin Yue and smiled, "Hello, your name is Lin Yue, right?"
Lin Yue nodded. "That's right."
Meng Ziyue said gently, "Eat whatever you like, don't worry about it."
Lin Yue was surprised by Meng Ziyue's gentleness, but she quickly noticed the flicker in Meng Ziyue's eyes, which seemed to be a test of her.
Lin Yue could only pretend not to see and lower her head to eat. She took a bite of the cake and found that the cake here was really delicious, fragrant and soft.
Xia Zhi looked at Lin Yue and watched her eat, and actually found her kind of cute.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, then, as if she had thought of something, said, "Xu Yu, did you warn those people yesterday? Hopefully, no one will bully Lin Yue anymore."
Lin Yue trembled upon hearing this. Now, others no longer bullied her, but they all kept their distance from her, seemingly somewhat afraid of her.
All of this was because Xu Yu used methods to get those people expelled from school...
Xu Yu took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "No one will bully her anymore."
Xia Zhi nodded upon hearing this, "It's good that you've given me a warning."
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to remain silent. She figured Senior Xia would find out eventually anyway, so she wasn't in a hurry.
Xia Zhi could sense that the atmosphere was a bit strange and awkward, so she tried to lighten the mood by saying, "Yueyue, why do you like eating cake so much?"
Lin Yue blinked. "Because it's sweet."
Xia Zhi laughed, then casually tugged at Xu Yu's sleeve, "Xu Yu can make cakes, let him make one for you next time."
Lin Yue immediately waved her hand, saying in a panic, "No need! It's too much trouble for them!"
Xia Zhi laughed and said, "How could it be troublesome?"
Xu Yu didn't speak, but subconsciously tightened his grip on the fork.
Xie Yi said meaningfully, "Actually, Xu Yu didn't know how to make cakes before."
He chose to learn because he thought Xia Zhi liked to eat, but of course no one present revealed the truth.
Xie Yi looked at Xia Zhi thoughtfully, "How come you suddenly made friends?"
Xia Zhi laughed and said, "Because Yueyue is just too cute!"
Lin Yue nearly choked upon hearing this, then coughed a little embarrassedly. When she looked up again, she found that they were all looking at them with strange eyes.
Lin Yue subconsciously looked at Senior Xia, who was winking at her.
Lin Yue felt even more embarrassed.
...
The meal ended just like that. Lin Yue finished quickly and then made up an excuse to leave. Seriously, her presence there was simply superfluous.
After Lin Yue left, Xia Zhi watched her fleeing figure, lost in thought. Is this plot... progressing too slowly?
Xu Yu suddenly spoke calmly, "Zhizhi, I have something to tell you. Come here for a moment."
Xie Yi and Meng Ziyue paused at the same time, subconsciously looking at Xu Yu.
Xu Yu stood up first and said calmly, "I'll be waiting for you in the back garden of the villa."
Xia Zhi looked at the other two, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Xie Yi gave a strange smile. "Who knows?"
Sometimes, Xia Zhi would recall the times she did missions in the past. Because her character was that of a pure and innocent person, she had always been tolerant of their meanness.
By now, Natsumi has started to get annoyed.
However, she was still a little curious about why Xu Yu wanted to see her. So she stood up, wiped her hands with a tissue, and said, "I'll go see what's going on."
Xia Zhi was a little uneasy, then walked to the back garden. It was late summer, but the back garden was still full of blooming flowers, which looked delicate under the sunlight.
Xia Zhi saw Xu Yu standing in the back garden. He was wearing a white shirt today, revealing a section of his fair wrist. Xia Zhi naturally recognized the expensive watch on his wrist, because she had helped him choose it.
Xia Zhi walked over and coughed. "Xu Yu, is something the matter? Can't we say it outside?"
Xu Yu suddenly turned around, his eyes focused, "Why are you so determined to match me with Lin Yue?"
Xia Zhi was speechless for a moment, because it was necessary for the plot!
However, she couldn't say that, so she found a way to back down, "What are you talking about? I didn't say that, I just think Lin Yue is cute!"
Xu Yu suddenly took a few steps closer, and Xia Zhi retreated in a bit of panic.
Finally, he pinned Xia Zhi against the wall, her back pressed tightly against it.
Xia Zhi felt a strange sense of oppression. She raised her eyes slightly and gave an awkward smile, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yu stared at her, then suddenly spoke, "Don't push me onto someone else, okay?"
Xia Zhi was a little surprised, and also a little annoyed. She hadn't expected Xu Yu to specifically bring this up with her. After thinking for a moment, she tried to explain, "I didn't..."
Xu Yu looked at her without saying a word.
Looking into his deep eyes, Xia Zhi felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
How long does he intend to keep her locked up here? Xia Zhi frowned subconsciously, "Xu Yu, I can't breathe like this."
Xu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. "Why can't you breathe? I didn't block your mouth or nose."
Xia Zhi stared at him in disbelief. How could he talk like that?
She subconsciously pushed Xu Yu, then said firmly, "Xu Yu, if you keep doing this, I'm going to get angry."
Xu Yu's gaze fell on her obviously agitated brows and eyes, then moved to her bright red lips. Xu Yu's eyes were somewhat intense and burning. After a long while, he took a step back. "Fine, I'll step back."
Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully explained, "Xu Yu, you're really overthinking it."
Xu Yu looked at her, tugged at the corner of his mouth, and looked away. "I hope so."
Xia Zhi said, "Then I'll go back first. Think it over carefully yourself."
Xu Yu hummed in response, appearing somewhat distracted.
Xia Zhi quickly walked back into the villa. She noticed Xie Yi and Meng Ziyue sitting in chairs, somewhat silent.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you all so silent? Nothing's wrong, Xu Yu just misunderstood me."
Xie Yi carefully considered the word 'misunderstanding', then he looked up and smiled, "Zhizhi, didn't we agree before? This villa will be our secret base for the four of us."
Xia Zhi nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, but you always need to make new friends."
Xie Yi suddenly spoke coldly, "Is that so? A new friend?"
Xia Zhi frowned. "Yeah, okay, I have class this afternoon, I'll go back and rest first."
Xie Yi gritted his teeth, watching her departing figure, and said, "Fine."
Xia Zhi felt that these three people were getting stranger and stranger. She muttered to herself, "I really don't want to serve them anymore!"
All she wants now is for them to fall in love with the female lead quickly! For the plot to progress quickly! And for her to fake her death quickly! And then leave this world!
Xia Zhi sighed silently, then asked the system Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi, is what I'm doing... okay?"
【Knitting! No problem!】
Just as Xia Zhi was about to go back to rest, she suddenly received a call from Xie Yi.
Xia Zhi was a little confused. Hadn't they just met?
She answered the call anyway, and the person on the other end said, "Zhizhi, have you found an internship yet?"
Xia Zhi honestly replied, "Not yet."
Xie Yi seemed to chuckle softly, "Do you want me to help you?"
Xia Zhi wanted to say no, but then she thought of all the resumes she had sent out that hadn't received a response...
So she tentatively asked, "Can you help me?"
Xie Yi said, "Of course, I can help you find an internship."
Xia Zhi had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, sure."
Xie Yi nodded and said, "Send me your resume."
Xia Zhi was surprised that the problem that had troubled her for so long was solved so easily. Just as she was about to express her gratitude, she suddenly heard Xie Yiyou say, "I can help you, but... there are conditions."
Xia Zhi had just sent her resume and couldn't back out, so she casually asked, "What are the requirements?"
