The next morning.
After finishing breakfast and changing into her new school uniform and backpack, Bai Xiaoruo stood anxiously at the door, rubbing her hands.
She really didn't want to go to school, not at all.
When Xuan Mingyu came downstairs after changing his clothes, he saw Bai Xiaoruo standing at the door with her brows furrowed.
How terrified is she of going to school that she's so cowardly?
Xuan Mingyu walked to Bai Xiaoruo's side and asked, "Have you brought everything?"
He acted like a guardian, giving Bai Xiaoru countless instructions.
"Maybe I forgot something. I'm so sleepy. I'm going back to my room to lie down for a while..." Bai Xiaoruo had just turned around when Xuan Mingyu grabbed her by the back of her school uniform collar and pulled her back. "So what if it's forgot? Don't worry about it. Put on your shoes and get ready to go out."
"I...oh dear, my stomach hurts so much, I need to go to the toilet..."
"You come back here right now."
Bai Xiaoruo was about to turn back when Xuan Mingyu pulled her back again.
"Bai Xiaoruo, is this all the ambition you have?"
"No... but I... I'm really scared..." Thinking of those nasty curses, Bai Xiaoruo's nose suddenly stung, her eyes reddened, and she felt extremely wronged.
“Hold back your tears. You’re already acting like a coward before you even get there. If people see you like this, they’ll laugh at you to death.” Xuan Mingyu reached out and ruffled Bai Xiaoru’s hair. “Today, I’ll teach you how to fight back completely.”
Bai Xiaoruo looked up at Xuan Mingyu in confusion: "Really? But... in their eyes, I'm nothing. Are they really afraid of me?"
“Even if they’re not afraid of you, you still have me, right? Come on, if you add the title of ‘latecomer,’ you’ll be truly famous.” Xian Mingyu took the soft little hand that was hanging by his side and led her outside.
Bai Xiaoruo obediently followed his steps; the warmth from his large hands seemed to be her boundless motivation.
Looking at his broad back, a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Thank you, Xianmingyu, for being willing to help me out of my predicament and for standing by my side to protect me when I was most helpless.
As Xian Mingyu was driving, Gu Yao called and sent him several pictures.
The reasons and details of Bai Xiaoruo being bullied at school the day before yesterday have been investigated and clarified. Because of that erotic painting, Bai Xiaoruo was given a major demerit by the school, her academic credits were deducted, and she was even publicly criticized on the bulletin board. The people who bullied her were actually arranged by Xiao Yaran. She gave them a lot of money. At first, some students were unwilling to treat Bai Xiaoruo this way, but under Xiao Yaran's threats, they had no choice but to comply.
He threw half-cooked tomatoes and raw eggs at her, verbally abused her, destroyed Bai Xiaoruo's drawing board, scribbled and cursed at her on her desk and notebooks, and even humiliated her severely in the toilet...
As for why no teacher intervened, it was naturally because Xiao Yaran had already bribed her beforehand.
Although the Xiao family wasn't exactly a prominent family, they were involved in organized crime and had considerable power and resources. Out of fear of Xiao Ya Ran and to protect themselves, no one dared to stand up and condemn everything.
Besides, a university isn't a kindergarten; no teacher is going to be watching you all the time, and nobody really cares.
Xian Mingyu opened the pictures Gu Yao had sent, lost in thought.
Based on the painting Bai Xiaoruo gave him at Xuan Zhengsen's birthday party, Xuan Mingyu believed that Bai Xiaoruo definitely had the ability to easily win the finals.
Xian Mingyu had seen both Bai Xiaoruo's and Xiao Yaran's paintings on the theme of a summer night. Xiao Yaran's painting was clearly a scene from the vicinity of the new campus, which could not be imitated casually. The only person who could paint such a scene and had seen it was Bai Xiaoruo.
The truth is obvious, but the targeting and scheming of those with ulterior motives are unfathomable.
What a powerful Xiao family! They have such influence that they can control most of the campus with their bare hands.
If Gu Yao hadn't arrived in time, things might have gotten even more out of control...
When this little girl got home, all she did was cry and cower with her head down, not daring to say a word. If Gu Yao hadn't investigated, Xian Mingyu wouldn't have known that Bai Xiaoruo was living such a miserable life at school.
Hsien Ming-yu drove his car straight into the school parking lot without any school police stopping him, as if he were already a familiar face there.
After parking the car, Bai Xiaoruo still didn't dare to get out, so Xuan Mingyu had to pull her out.
Before class even started, there were many students passing by. The moment Bai Xiaoruo was pulled out of the car by Xian Mingyu, many people turned their attention to them.
Although not many people recognize Bai Xiaoruo's face, the fact that she could drive a luxury car all the way to school early in the morning, accompanied by a handsome guy, always attracted a lot of attention, with envious glances, as well as curious and jealous looks.
Bai Xiaoruo hid behind Xuan Mingyu, shrinking her head and nervously tugging at his clothes. "Isn't this too conspicuous? Why don't you go back? I can go to the classroom by myself."
"Are you sure you want me to go back and get all the cold shoulder from here?"
"I..." Bai Xiaoruo certainly didn't want Xian Mingyu to leave. If he really left, she wouldn't even have this only shield left. But he was here, dazzling like a big star, with so many eyes on them, which made Bai Xiaoruo really uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I'll find out who bullied you today, one by one."
He put his arm around her shoulder. "Right? My dear cousin, where's your classroom?"
"Huh? You, are you serious?" Bai Xiaoruo was a little unaccustomed to him suddenly calling her cousin.
Could he really be going to teach those people a lesson for her? Just beat them up? That won't do. This is a school. She's already received a major demerit and lost credits. If he uses violence to stand up for her again, she'll definitely be expelled.
"Do I not look serious?"
Bai Xiaoruo was conflicted, unsure whether she should take Xuan Mingyu to her classroom, but the thought of the grievances she had suffered the day before yesterday made her feel resentful.
She made a silent decision: Fine! If I get expelled, I'll be a bad student for once!
Anyway, this time I've already ruined all the good image I've built up, so why should I care about this one more time? Even if I'm weak and tolerant, they'll still take advantage of me.
"I'll take you there."
......
This was the first time Bai Xiaoruo had walked with Xuan Mingyu on campus. Without exception, every girl who passed by couldn't help but glance at him, and some even followed him and shyly tried to strike up a conversation with him.
Aside from not allowing anyone to take photos of his face, Xuan Mingyu doesn't mind girls getting close to him no matter what. Of course, Bai Xiaoruo doesn't understand why he hates being photographed so much.
Bai Xiaoruo really had to admire Xuan Mingyu's charm. Even at his age, he was still so popular with young girls. If he hadn't graduated and was still in school, wouldn't he have been a sensation throughout the entire school?
