Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ever since he was bullied by Jiang Shuxuan, Gu Xiqiao had never set foot in this alley. The reason why he did it today was because the system had issued a mission for him, and a red arrow floated in front of him, pointing towards the alley.
At the end of the alley, a group of people were beating up someone.
Surrounded was a young boy with a white T-shirt and jeans who had been washed many times to whiten. He held a stick in his bloodstained hand and swung towards one of the people in the group. He had no special orders to attack, and defeat whoever he chose as much as he could. Evidently, he had been involved in many such fights and had a great purpose, but there were too many people surrounding him that he was injured, he said, traces of blood flowed on his feet that might have been slashed with a knife.
These people were unlike the people Wu Hongwen met, their arms and necks were heavily tattooed and were true gangsters who had been doing this kind of thing to society for a long time.
The young man could not take it anymore.
Gu Xiqiao knew that it was difficult to defeat these people with weak martial arts, so he immediately took the status of Master of the system. He was currently in a bad mood, and these people were the best sandbags for him to relieve his frustration.
Although they were ferocious, but they were no match for Gu Xiqiao in Master status, who could break their limbs without breaking a sweat.
Even so, he still held back a little as he walked around, making these buff men fall to the ground with a single flick on his wrist.
If someone saw this, they would say that it seemed like he was teasing a bunch of puppies.
These gangsters wanted to escape, but they felt as if they were surrounded by an invisible barrier, and they could only beg for mercy. After Gu Xiqiao played quite a lot, he chased them away.
“Thank you for saving us!” So the gangsters ran away with their tails between their legs, not wanting to stay in the presence of this fearsome girl for even more than a second. Is he human?
Gu Xiqiao looked towards the young man who was slumping in the corner.
“Thank you.” Luo Wenlang's cheeks were without any color.
“Do not worry.”
As soon as he got the reward points, he turned around and left.
Luo Wenlang looked at him, and upon seeing his face, his extremely intelligent brain immediately recalled who he was. “Please wait!”
Gu Xiqiao stopped and turned to look at him.
“I Luo Wenlang from Rocket Class, I know you from our school, I saw you in our school cafeteria before.” Luo Wenlang took out her school card and showed it to her.
Gu Xiqiao read it with ama, looking at the familiar name on the card. “Dan?”
“Do you have any money?” He looked at Gu Xiqiao seriously and handed her his school card. “I promise I'll return it to you, and you can keep this card as guarantee. I am Luo Wenlang of the Rocket Class. ” He stated again.
He smiled bitterly, and the glimmer of hope in his heart disappeared.
Oh. Gu Xiqiao looked at him without saying a word, before crouching down and putting his backpack on the ground, opening it and taking out a pile of money. This was the rest of the money from that time in the shopping mall, and then he patted his pocket and took the leftover money from buying milk tea. “How much do you need? I only have this amount for me now, and if this is not enough, we can find an ATM? ”
The system analyzes that his desire for money has reached five-star, but it does not activate the mission. Even so, he still lent him money.
He knew that look of despair better than anyone.
Luo Wenlang looked at him, before receiving the money with trembling fingers, calculating it meticulously. There's 2,528.5 dollars. She covered her eyes with her hands, her voice hoarse as if she was about to cry. “It's more than enough.”
Okay, save. Gu Xiqiao took out a bottle filled with transparent liquid from his backpack and threw it at him. “This is for your feet. I'm leaving now.”
“Let me drop you off.” Luo Wenlang stood up tremblingly and followed behind him. He knew how confusing these alleys were.
“Not needed.” Gu Xiqiao glanced at his still-blooded legs.
Even though she said so, Luo Wenlang still followed behind her calmly. The handsome young man's head lowered, and his lips pursed in thought, only turning around and returning when he saw him leave the alley.
The next day, Gu Xiqiao got up and did his usual morning run, before drinking an unnamed bowl of soup under Madam Zhang's gaze.
He arrived right at the school, and Xiao Yun was waiting for him at the school gate. There are not many people on the road at the moment and it is the same as usual.
Gu Xiqiao looked at Xiao Yun who was frowning and daydreaming, and he took out an apple from his backpack and chewed on it. “Did your uncle visit your grandfather again?”
“Ya, she's quite a hassle.” Xiao Yun did not ask why the girl knew and ridiculed. “Grandfather and Big Brother trusted him too much in the past, so he has a lot of shareholders on his side. Therefore, he underestimated us too much. “
Gu Xiqiao made a puzzled expression. “If you are so confident, why does your expression look like bitter gourd?”
“I ...” Xiao Yun does not know how to start.
She had arrived early at school today, and as soon as she stepped into school she heard people raving about the stolen oil painting. It was clear how big of an impact this matter was, but he did not know how to deal with it because he did not know what happened between Gu Xijin and Gu Xiqiao, so he could only wait for him patiently. However, as soon as he saw her, he did not know what to say.
Seeing Xiao Yun's expression, Gu Xiqiao knew what he was thinking before. Its alright.
The two girls who had bought breakfast and returned to the school in front of them stopped and one of them started talking to the other as he occasionally glanced towards Gu Xiqiao.
He did not bother to speak at a lower volume, though, and her tone was very insulting as she spoke of how ‘school should take Gu Xiqiao’ out and how she ‘cannot believe they are in the same school as such girl’ .
These disciples excluded a girl in such a way without any evidence, and these rumors, gossip, and strange gazes were like a suffocating mountain of stress. If others were to experience this, they would not even have the courage to go to school!
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Parallel Class was completely unaffected by anything happening outside. Gu Xiqiao's classmates had all been taken care of by Gu Xiqiao in the past, and their lessons improved dramatically, so they all treated Gu Xiqiao like a treasure of their class. None of them believed that he was such a person, so they all argued to protect him when they saw the post of the person slandering him on the school's official forum.
