Finger-pointing Competition

Ye Feng stepped forward to stop Ruan Mengmeng and Li Junyu from leaving.

Yet, Li Junyu had no plans of stopping and continued walking. The bodyguards he brought with him pushed Ye Feng onto the ground without any hesitation the moment Ye Feng attempted to chase after the duo.

“This is a school! You’re not allowed to hurt anyone!” Li Xiuli regained her senses at that moment and stepped forward to put a stop to the chaos.

Meanwhile, the other two student council members were similarly jolted awake from the shout and butted in as well.

Unfortunately for them, the bodyguards had managed to seal up the pathway completely until Li Junyu and Ruan Mengmeng’s silhouettes disappeared down the staircase. None of them stood a chance at reaching the duo.

A brief pause later, after the bodyguards left, Ye Feng furiously stormed up to Li Xiuli.

“Ms. Li, you must come with me to report this to the principal. Ruan Mengmeng disregarded the rules and brought violence to the school. Those men just now were all brought in by her. Also, I suspect that she serves as a mistress to that man. It’s obvious that she has an inappropriate relationship with him. You must testify for us!”

“This…” Li Xiuli hesitated. Although Ruan Mengmeng was in the wrong, Li Xiuli could not help but feel that Ye Feng was being disrespectful in the manner in which he was asking her.

“Ms. Li, you mustn’t hesitate. It’s crucial that Wisdom’s current school spirit isn’t tainted. Just come with us!”

On the other hand, Ruan Mengmeng snuggled meekly into Li Junyu’s embrace.

Ruan Mengmeng was utterly confused…

What was up with Li Junyu? Why has he been holding her in his arms so frequently and for no particular reason?

When they were back home, Li Junyu’s treatment toward Ruan Mengmeng was immensely different and apathetic.

However, she was behaving coquettishly simply in order to sell her performance. Funnily enough, he believed her!

In all honesty, Ruan Mengmeng was definitely a far bigger mess than anyone else right now.

When she was with the Ruan family, she often made to be the scapegoat by Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Mengmeng was used to carrying the weight of everything on her shoulders, never shedding a single tear over the crushing injustice she experienced. It did not matter anyway—it was impossible for Ruan Mengmeng to win the pity competition no matter how hard she cried or sobbed; Ruan Jiaojiao was just much better at that.

However, at the moment, the man she was hugging wholeheartedly believed her every word upon seeing the redness around her eyes and her voice laden with sobs…

Ruan Mengmeng felt slightly guilty about the whole thing.

It was not Ruan Mengmeng’s intention to lie to Li Junyu. It was just that the moment she saw him, she was compelled to act in that manner to save her own skin.

“Uh… You can put me down now…” said Ruan Mengmeng with a timid voice, tugging at Li Junyu’s shirt collar gently.

She raised her head slightly. Beneath her sparkling eyes, the watery streaks of drying tears shone so clear and so bright.

Li Junyu lowered his head and inadvertently locked gaze with a mesmerizing pair of almond-shaped eyes.

The only thought that registered in his head was how helpless her gaze was, looking at him as though she was a small, wounded animal yearning for protection.

With his arms around her slender limbs, he could not bear to let go and instead, hugged her tighter.

“Big Bro…” Ruan Mengmeng cooed. “I… I can walk on my own. Big Bro…”

They were both in close proximity to each other. In his tight embrace, Ruan Mengmeng could smell his overpowering male scent.

Ruan Mengmeng felt her strength slipping away from her. Even her usually fearless heart palpitated like an overexcited fawn.

This sensation was too strange for her liking and she wished she could just get away.

However, unbeknownst to her, those sweet, diabetes-inducing words ‘Big Bro’ from her sounded extremely alluring to men’s ears.

Li Junyu had three younger brothers and no sisters at all.

As long as she remained obedient, Li Junyu would not mind having an adorable and docile younger sister like her.

“Your legs are too short to keep up with me.” Internally, he knew that he only wanted an excuse to hold her a while longer.

Using the most pathetic excuse he could conjure up, Li Junyu still managed to be convincing enough that she didn’t think to question it.

Short?

Her legs? Short?!

Ruan Mengmeng’s height was around five feet five. With her perfect body proportions, although not a towering presence among girls, her legs were not short by any means.

Ruan Mengmeng never expected that she would ever hear herself be referred to as ‘short’ by someone.

So what if he was six feet three!

If anything, he would be wasting a few more meters of cloth to make his clothes!

The pink bubbles of affection that gushed from Ruan Mengmeng’s heart were instantly demolished by the anger incited by the man’s words.

Whatever. With that being said, Ruan Mengmeng still decided to stay put in his arms and wait to see what his intentions were.

…

After a while, Li Junyu gently let Ruan Mengmeng down on a sofa in the school director’s office.

As Li Junyu’s visit was so sudden, the assistant school director who had assisted them earlier scrambled out of the office to get the school director.

“Why are we here?” Ruan Mengmeng asked with a timid voice, tugging at Li Junyu’s sleeve.

The man lowered his smoldering, provocative gaze, Ruan Mengmeng’s ears began to burn a bright red.

“Indictment,” he whispered.

On the other hand; at the very same moment.

Ye Feng and Ms. Li—along with the fatty who just got his arm treated—marched together to the door of the school principal’s office.
