Chapter 6
After a moment of inner struggle, Ye Liangchen made up his mind to follow the same path as in his previous life. However, this time, he would show concern for her in advance, leaving a lasting impression!
**Chapter 7: Brief Suffering for a Better Reunion**
“Chen Ge, where are you going? Class is about to start.”
Seeing Ye Liangchen stand up to leave the classroom, Gao Quan quickly asked. Today, Chen Ge was clearly acting strange.
Especially after taking a nap, he seemed like a completely different person.
In the past, Chen Ge would never have said such things to Li Qingxue.
But the undeniable fact was that he not only said it, but he also ruthlessly tore up the love letter and threw it into the trash right in front of her.
Ye Liangchen felt a warmth in his heart; he had always regarded Gao Quan as his best brother.
So he smiled and said, “I’m fine. I just need to use the restroom before class starts.”
With that, he walked past Li Qingxue’s seat without pausing.
Watching Ye Liangchen’s retreating figure, Li Qingxue furrowed her brows slightly, sensing a significant change in him today.
At that moment, her deskmate quietly asked, “Are you okay, Qingxue?”
“Ye Liangchen is just... I can’t figure out what he’s doing!”
He had previously asked them to cooperate with his confession, and now it had turned out like this.
Li Qingxue gently shook her head. “I’m fine.” With that, she withdrew her gaze.
Ye Liangchen left Class 1 and headed towards Class 7.
Class 7 was where Long Aotian and Hu Yuying were.
Upon reaching the door of Class 7, Ye Liangchen’s pupils constricted, and his heart trembled violently!
He saw Long Aotian making Hu Yuying stand in front of him. The distance was a bit far, and with the noise in the classroom, he couldn’t hear clearly!
But he saw Hu Yuying suddenly lower her head.
In his dreams, whenever Hu Yuying lowered her gaze, she would almost always end up in tears.
He knew her too well.
Clenching his fists tightly, his eyes narrowed with a look of resentment: “Long Aotian, you’ve already chosen your path to destruction. I’ll prepare plenty of moldy youtiao (fried dough sticks) for you, just wait!”
After saying this fiercely, his gaze softened in an instant, looking at Hu Yuying with deep affection: “Don’t be afraid. Just wait a little longer, and I’ll appear in your world like a ray of light.”
“I will be your salvation, leading you out of the darkness as the son of sunshine.”
“All the harm Long Aotian has caused you, I will spend my life healing.”
After saying this, Ye Liangchen gritted his teeth and averted his gaze.
He was afraid that if he continued to look, he would be unable to hold back his tears.
All the suffering was for the sake of their future reunion; he had to endure.
Only when Hu Yuying was at her most painful, most desperate, and on the brink of breaking would his appearance hold the most significance.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the surging emotions within him and walked towards the restroom.
...
“I want to, I really want to.” Hu Yuying’s eyes were red, but her tone was unexpectedly firm.
“I want to change; I don’t want to be bullied anymore.”
Long Aotian looked at the resolute Hu Yuying and couldn’t help but sigh. If she hadn’t been bullied to a certain extent, this shy and gentle girl would never have been so decisive.
“Alright!”
Long Aotian said seriously, “From today on, you’re my little sidekick.”
“I’ll set up some basic training for you. If you want to become strong, then give it your all!”
Teaching someone to fish is better than giving them fish; only if Hu Yuying makes the change herself can she truly avoid being bullied in the future!
“Thank you.” Upon hearing Long Aotian’s words, Hu Yuying bit her lip and sincerely expressed her gratitude.
He seemed different from the person Li Qian had described!
Even though it was only their first day meeting, he had taken the initiative to talk to her, lent her a pen, and helped her avoid being bullied by Wang Shuo. Now, he wanted her to be his little sidekick.
She was truly grateful to Long Aotian.
“No need for thanks. If you see Long Ge in a tough spot in the future, helping him out is better than any gratitude,” Long Aotian said slowly.
If the plot really changed because of him, then his own ending would naturally cease to exist.
But what if?
Being kind to the female lead now might leave him a way out in case something went wrong.
After all, in the original novel, Hu Yuying eventually became a business mogul, starting her own company and establishing an anti-bullying foundation.
She made a significant contribution to the world.
Someone who had kindness and gentleness ingrained in their bones shouldn’t have to endure such a life.
Hearing this, Hu Yuying lowered her head humbly.
This only strengthened her resolve to study hard, earn big money in the future, and definitely help Long Ge!
“Now, I’m going to give you today’s task.”
Hu Yuying immediately straightened up at his words.
“Go find Wang Shuo, make him apologize to you, and compensate you for the damaged stationery.”
“Ah?” The breath she had just taken in instantly dissipated.
She stole a glance at Wang Shuo.
Wang Shuo was 1.72 meters tall and weighed over 180 pounds.
With such a physique, he seemed like a small mountain in front of Hu Yuying.
Before she even approached, fear and cowardice began to creep into her heart.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Long Aotian raised an eyebrow. His goal was to help Hu Yuying gradually confront her fears about certain things.
Hu Yuying didn’t respond; she instinctively lowered her head again, just like before.
Being timid and weak seemed to have become second nature to her; it felt like if she just looked down and avoided eye contact, her heart would find safety.
But these were merely excuses to escape reality.
The best way to eliminate fear is to face it head-on.
With this thought, Long Aotian stood up and directly grabbed Hu Yuying by the back of her collar.
“Long, Long Ge…”
“Shut up!”
“You’ll have your turn to speak later!”
As Long Aotian spoke, he dragged Hu Yuying toward Wang Shuo’s seat.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Ye Liangchen, who had just come out of the restroom.
Watching the tall and muscular Long Aotian lift Hu Yuying like a chick, his heart ached terribly.
Clenching his teeth, he quickened his pace away from Class 7’s door.
He didn’t have the courage to see how Long Aotian would bully Hu Yuying.
Once outside the range of Class 7, he leaned weakly against the wall.
Taking a deep breath, his expression was filled with sorrow: “Just hold on a little longer. Only when you fall into the abyss will my appearance be your salvation!”
“Then I will rush into your world like a hero, shining with golden light, to love and heal you.”
Worried about Ye Liangchen, Gao Quan came out and saw this scene.
It turned out that Chen Ge wasn’t being carefree; he was desperately hiding his sadness.
(After having liked Li Qingxue since middle school and pursuing her) Giving up someone he had liked for six years was like carving out a piece of flesh from his heart.
He stepped forward and gently patted Ye Liangchen’s shoulder: “Chen Ge, are you okay?”
Ye Liangchen looked up, trying hard to hide the sadness within him, forcing a smile onto his face: “I’m fine. Let’s go back; class is about to start!”
He glanced back at Class 7.
In his heart, he silently vowed: “Brief suffering is only for a better encounter, understanding, and acquaintance in the future. Yuying, hold on. Everything he does to you, I will make him pay back a hundredfold…”
**Chapter 8: Thank You for Taking Me as Your Sidekick**
Hu Yuying had no room to resist in front of Long Aotian, or rather, she didn’t dare to resist at all.
She was effortlessly brought to Wang Shuo’s desk.
Seeing Long Aotian bring Hu Yuying over, Wang Shuo looked a bit uneasy as he glanced at Long Aotian.
“Go ahead,” Long Aotian signaled for Hu Yuying to speak.
The commotion had already drawn the attention of the entire class.
Feeling the eyes of her classmates on her, Hu Yuying grew increasingly nervous. She tightly clenched her fingers, her lips trembling slightly.
After a few breaths, Hu Yuying finally steeled herself, mustering the courage to look at Wang Shuo: “You need to apologize to me.”
Wang Shuo, hearing this, first looked at Hu Yuying.
As he glared at her, Hu Yuying instinctively took a step back, her body trembling uncontrollably, leaving marks from her nails on her palm without her realizing it.
“You… you need to apologize to me.” Although her voice trembled slightly, Hu Yuying was trying hard to maintain a facade of calm.
But Wang Shuo remained silent, and the surroundings seemed to fall into silence. She could clearly hear her own heartbeat, her face growing paler as she unconsciously glanced sideways.
