Chapter 5: A New Silly Dog Has Appeared
I walked into Class A1 through the back door and sat down in the only empty seat at the back of the classroom.
The students in the class have become indifferent to this. Some things, when they happen too many times, are hard to be curious about anymore.
Especially with final exams just around the corner, it's hard to find the time to pay attention to her.
Apart from Lianyi's deskmate.
The boy, with his red hair dyed and a wolf tail, looked like a punk without looking at his face, but his face, which was propped up by his hand, swayed, and a few strands of messy hair hung down on his forehead, highlighting his fair skin.
Strictly speaking, this person could be considered half of Lian Yi's childhood sweetheart, although he grew up in his family and she grew up in hers.
The boy's name was Gu Yiyu. When he was little, he was chubby like a rice cake. He was timid and loved to eat. Every time Lian Yi met him, he was either holding snacks or munching on desserts, so much so that his cheeks would be dented if you poked them.
His family is in the internet industry, and his father is a big shot who seized the opportunity during the bubble burst and soared to great heights.
The chubby boy was not only like a rice cake, but also had a timid and soft personality, just like a soft rice cake. At first, he was just coaxed and tricked by the other children, but later, seeing that he was easy to bully, their attitudes and words became more and more excessive.
They mocked him for being as fat as a pig while simultaneously stealing his snacks, toys, and even pocket money.
Lian Yi couldn't accept this happening. How could there be someone more hated than her?
So she led a group of little kids, pulled the chubby boy out of the group of unruly children, and confiscated their snacks and toys one by one. As for their pocket money, she used it all to buy the most annoying villain models from the cartoons they were watching at the time.
You also have to whisper in their ears that Ultraman is fake, Sailor Moon is fake, and the Balala the Fairies are actually just ordinary people in disguise. There is no such thing as Doraemon in this world; it's just a dream that Nobita, who is being bullied, has while hiding under the covers.
The children cried so loudly that they woke up the principal and teachers.
The chubby boy thus came under Lian Yi's command.
It wasn't that she was recruited; it was just that she went from being bullied and mocked by a group of naughty kids to having to regularly hand over snacks to Lian Yi.
Sometimes the kindergarten holds dance performances for the children. Even though Lianyi has a big temper, she can't resist the kindergarten teachers' gentle coaxing skills.
So they dressed up Dan Tiao Nian Gao, who hadn't eaten snacks in a long time and had lost some weight, in a little skirt, smeared red blushes on her cheeks, and put a red mole between her eyebrows. After practicing a few times, she replaced them on stage to perform.
It's a pity that the chubby boy, who was so obedient back then, gradually grew taller and thinner after starting elementary school, and his temper also grew.
He was particularly resentful of his dark past, being treated as a lackey and driven by the great demon king Lian Yi.
Another reason is that his father made a fortune. At first, he was just a nouveau riche, but by the time the boy entered junior high school, he could be called an internet giant.
It wasn't until his second year of junior high that this guy confessed his feelings to Lian Yi, who witnessed it and they completely broke off relations.
After all, even when Lian Yi was in the wrong, she was still righteous and self-righteous, let alone when she caught him red-handed. Of course, she laughed about it for several days.
Especially after a few days, somehow the news spread like wildfire and became common knowledge.
Lian Yi never bothered to spread rumors about other people's private affairs, but she couldn't resist the stubborn and single-minded ideas of teenagers.
It doesn't matter, she quite likes this big, dark pot.
When Lian Yi sat down, Gu Yiyu leaned to the side as if she carried some kind of virus.
That idiot.
Lian Yi offered a brief assessment of this childish behavior.
In fact, Gu Yiyu was also one of the male lead candidates in the outline, but the competition was not very fierce.
Although the grumpy puppy was popular, he was too arrogant, like a walking powder keg. At first, he treated the real heiress badly, speaking with veiled barbs and showing all sorts of contempt.
Later, people started to like it, but it also felt incredibly awkward. There was also the return of a childhood sweetheart from junior high, which caused the stock price of the stock to plummet.
This is why Lian Yi has never intended to increase his 'dislike rating'.
Just a mocking look at him is enough to make him bristle.
Having been deskmates for half a year, Lian Yi had heard Gu Yiyu's cold snorts countless times, as well as his disdainful attitude of never looking at her directly.
"Lian Yi, this is the last time I'm warning you. Don't let me find out that you're bullying Xu Qingyao again."
Today was unprecedented. The boy, who was clearly far ahead of her, suddenly spoke in a sinister tone, and his first words were a warning with a strong sense of threat.
Lian Yi was still flipping through the brand-new textbooks half-heartedly.
Hearing this, she turned her head to look at him with amusement. Gu Yiyu was also staring at her. Through the gaps in the red hair that fell messily over his forehead, his slightly sharp eyes, along with his slightly wrinkled eyelids, revealed a very serious look.
When you have nothing to do, it's quite fun to tease your silly dog.
Lian Yi smiled slightly. "What, you feel sorry for the person you like who's hurt?"
"Whether I like it or not is none of your business." Gu Yiyu frowned, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "In short, if I find out again that you've bullied Xu Qingyao, I'll make you experience everything you did."
It was indeed related to her, otherwise how would she know that Xu Qingyao was injured?
The thought of Xu Qingyao's panicked expression when she accidentally revealed the bruises on her arm in front of him made Gu Yiyu feel irritated.
He knew that Xu Qingyao's parents worked as servants in Lian Yi's household. Thinking of Lian Yi's past achievements, he directly questioned whether the injuries on the other person's body were caused by Lian Yi.
Xu Qingyao vehemently denied it, but her half-crying expression and fearful eyes already told Gu Yiyu the answer.
He knew Lian Yi's personality: when she was in a good mood, she would play pranks on people for fun; when she was in a bad mood, she would only go further.
Thinking of this, Gu Yiyu's tone became impatient, "What do you think Uncle Lian will think if he finds out about this?"
Lian Yi smiled faintly as she looked at the young man, who had such a handsome appearance but a foolish and straightforward mind.
"Gu Yiyu, how old are you? Still playing this trick of telling your parents? Do you need me to make a call for you?"
“However,” she laughed again, “your taste has never changed. The type of girl you liked in junior high school is still the same type you like in high school.”
When this matter was mentioned, Gu Yiyu suddenly sat up straight, his face slightly flushed, his expression somewhat fierce, and his eyes fixed on Lian Yi.
"I told you not to mention this again!" His voice was slightly loud, tinged with emotion.
The teacher on the podium coughed and tapped on the table.
"Pay attention to classroom discipline, don't disturb other students' learning, everyone concentrate! There's not much time left until the college entrance exam, are you still distracted? At such a crucial time..."
Amidst the teacher's uncontrollable long-winded ramblings, Gu Yiyu gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't you understand how much impact this would have on your company's stock price if it got out that the eldest daughter of the Lian family was bullying the daughter of a servant?" He paused. "And what did Xu Qingyao do wrong? What gives you the right to target her?"
Lian Yi chuckled and said, "Gu Yiyu, don't be so naive. It's one thing to say such things in front of me, but I advise you not to show any interest in Xu Qingyao in front of other people."
The boy, who had been rebellious since junior high school, calmed down upon hearing this.
His features were sharp and his eyes, black and white, were extremely intimidating when he stared at people. Unfortunately, Lian Yi was always able to see through the surface of things and get to the essence of them.
Gu Yiyu said, "What if I insist on doing it this way?"
"Oh," Lian Yi said nonchalantly, "Then I can only watch the show. Do you think Uncle Gu will be happy to see you getting too close to the maid's daughter?"
Gu Yiyu disliked Lian Yi's attitude the most. She treated everything with a mocking attitude, casually playing with others and watching them fall into trouble because of her.
He paused, then a guess suddenly flashed through his mind. He squinted and tilted his head back slightly.
"Lian Yi, you wouldn't be saying it's because of—"
"Are you just jealous that Xu Qingyao is prettier and more popular than you at school, so you're targeting and bullying her like this?"
Gu Yiyu raised an eyebrow slightly, "You really are the same as when you were a child, without any change, using such childish methods to attract other people's admiration and attention."
The more he talked, the more he felt he had seen through Lian Yi's true thoughts over the years.
"No matter what you think, stop bullying Xu Qingyao. I'm serious." After saying that, he turned his head, his red hair shining brightly as he faced her.
Lian Yi could only offer a few comments on this matter, "..."
Fortunately, Gu Yiyu was foolish enough to believe everything he heard, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Lian Yi has always been very patient with him.
After all, she is one of the few hot-tempered little dogs in the plot who is not affected by the fake heiress's hypocritical mask and has a keen sense of smell for her, never giving her a cold shoulder.
The bell rang quickly, marking the end of the afternoon class.
Most of the students in the class rushed to the cafeteria because they had self-study classes later. If they walked slowly, they wouldn't even get to eat a few bites of food.
They were all seniors. Except for the bottom students in Class C, the students in Classes A and B basically did nothing but study. They were too busy to pay attention to outside information.
Therefore, when a girl with a pure and delicate appearance walked in, the classroom was already empty with only a few people left, and the few students who were engrossed in doing their homework had no intention of paying any attention to it.
"Xu Qingyao?"
Gu Yiyu, who had his hands behind his head, looked strange, as if he was competing with Lian Yi to see who could get up and leave the classroom first.
He straightened up somewhat awkwardly, then somehow, he leaned back as if to relax.
The protagonist who had just argued with Lian Yi appeared, and especially when he remembered Lian Yi saying that he liked Xu Qingyao, the boy felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't want to show it in front of Lian Yi.
If she finds out, she will definitely laugh at him without restraint.
Gu Yiyu raised his chin and raised his eyebrows slightly. Just as he was about to call out Xu Qingyao's name, he saw her smile gently at him. Then she walked to Lian Yi's desk, squatted down, and tidied up the textbooks in her desk drawer.
Lian Yi hasn't brought her textbooks home since the start of the semester, and she's hardly ever opened them. But tomorrow the school is moving, and although she doesn't read these textbooks, she still has to take them with her.
She used the ground as leverage to back up the chair and create some space.
I just watched as the girl carefully took out her textbooks one by one, patted off the dust, and put them into her schoolbag according to size and thickness.
"Lian Yi, what do you mean?" Gu Yiyu stood up abruptly.
He naturally interpreted this as Lian Yi provoking him, responding to his earlier warning.
You're telling me not to bully her?
Then I'll treat her like a servant right in front of you and bully her for you to see.
Lian Yi looked up at him, naturally wanting to see him. If it weren't for his handsome and flamboyant face, she would probably have lost patience because of Gu Yiyu's mouth.
"Young Master Gu, did you fall asleep in class or something? I asked her to pack her things, carry her bag, and do things for me. Is there a problem with that?"
Lian Yi raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? You can't even handle this?"
Xu Qingyao ignored the tension and conversation between the two, and put the last workbook into her bag with her slender fingers, saying in a soft voice, "Miss Lianyi, I've packed my things."
"Hmm." Lian Yi glanced at her, stood up, and was about to walk out.
Gu Yiyu frowned and called out to Xu Qingyao, "Why are you doing this... listening to her?"
Lian Yi's attitude towards her was too casual; his superior attitude made it seem as if he regarded Xu Qingyao as a servant.
He couldn't understand why Xu Qingyao would do this. She had excellent grades and was popular at school; at least Gu Yiyu had a very good impression of her.
Even if her parents work for the Lian family, what era are we living in? There's no longer any master-servant dynamic.
After thinking it over, it seemed that only Lian Yi's threats and coercion could force her to do so.
Lian Yi is capable of doing something like this.
Xu Qingyao's clear eyes seemed to be brimming with water as she smiled at Gu Yiyu. However, in his eyes, this gentle and pure smile looked like it was forced and suppressed.
“If she really blackmails you,” Gu Yiyu frowned and glanced at Lian Yi, who had walked to the classroom door, “I can help you, including your parents’ jobs. You’re only wasting your time doing this.”
Xu Qingyao seemed flustered and took a step back, quickly shaking her head. Then she lowered her face and said softly, "Gu, please don't say that. Miss Lian Yi is a very good person. I did these things voluntarily."
This series of actions, along with the vulnerability revealed in her tone, made Gu Yiyu completely disbelieve that she was sincere in saying those words.
Gu Yiyu frowned and said, "You said it was voluntary, but have you considered that doing this will only make Lian Yi's reputation worse? What will others think if they see this?"
Xu Qingyao looked up in surprise and stared at him blankly.
Gu Yiyu paused, turned his head slightly, and said in a stiff tone, "What I mean is, your explanation is completely untenable. I know Lian Yi better than you do what kind of person she is."
"In short, you helped me back then, and I should repay you. At the very least, I won't stand idly by while Lian Yi bullies you."
“…Thank you.” Xu Qingyao shook her head again and said weakly, “Miss Lian Yi really didn’t bully me, you’ve misunderstood.”
Gu Yiyu was speechless at her stubborn attitude. Frustrated, he scratched his hair, making his red hair even more disheveled. "Alright, I know what you're worried about. You'll see my attitude later."
"Um... I'll go now."
Xu Qingyao was not used to looking at other people's faces when she spoke, and her words and actions were always somewhat inferior and timid. She lowered her face and walked around the other side of the desk to leave, hurriedly catching up with Lian Yi who had already walked far away.
