They are still close to me today despite their negative feelings

"No, Xiaoxue, let me explain." The leader was no longer as fierce as before, only humble and obsequious.

"The drug seems to only work on your annoying sister; the other one is still perfectly sober. It's all her fault for suddenly opening the car door and running off with the other person halfway through; we should have taken them both to the hotel much earlier."

"Ling Qingxue! It was you who put something in the drink! Are you even human?! Ling Chuqing is your sister?!"

An Yu, who was holding Ling Chuqing, angrily cursed.

"You actually helped outsiders bully your sister! You beast, you bastard, you have no conscience! You, you, you ate fried rice covered in eggshells!!"

"Stop acting cute at a time like this." Ling Qingxue looked at An Yu with a sneer. "Or do you really not even know how to swear? I must say, you are indeed the idol of the top tier on campus. It's okay, you will slowly learn how to swear when we get to the hotel later."

An Yu flinched slightly, like a frog being stared at by a venomous snake, gritted his teeth, and gave Ling Qingxue the middle finger.

"Xiaoxue, um, that girl just said she's called the police and contacted her friends. Even though the signal is bad here, I'm worried—"

"No! We absolutely cannot let her friends come!"

Ling Qingxue, who had been confident of victory, suddenly panicked after hearing these words.

"Only he can't see this! You guys, just do it here. Hurry up and finish, then take photos and videos, and leave immediately!"

"Xiaoxue?"

The leader of the thugs looked at Ling Qingxue, who seemed to be preparing to leave quickly, and asked her somewhat uneasily.

"Could it be that her friend is a policeman?" someone muttered, and the surrounding thugs immediately erupted in a commotion.

"No, he's not a policeman. Don't worry, he's just an ordinary person, but he's of some use to me. Remember to leave as soon as you're done, and don't let him see you."

Ling Qingxue stopped in her tracks, regained her composure, and spoke calmly.

"...I understand! You...you like Ning Ruoyu!!"

However, even though she quickly composed herself, An Yu seemed to have grasped something and shouted it out loud.

At a time like this, what nonsense are you spouting? I wiped the cold sweat from my drowsy hiding spot.

"...What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ling Qingxue replied coldly, not even giving him a disdainful look.

"No, no, what I mean is, you, you like Lü Ning!! Right!!!"

I've already said it before...

Holy crap, why is she blushing?!

I stared wide-eyed at Ling Qingxue, who was clearly wavering.

"........."

Chen Di's silent gaze was filled with a thousand complaints about me.

I did intentionally use Lü Ning's identity to get close to her, but honestly, I don't think I ever won her over to that extent!

Damn it, in this world, even the landmine girl automatically gains affection while AFK?

“Lü, Lü Ning…”

Meanwhile, upon hearing this name, Ling Chuqing, who had been completely clueless and had no idea who this person was, seemed to have a hole suddenly appear in her closed heart, and she raised her head and weakly uttered a sound.

"Where is that big bad guy... Sister?... Why are you..."

"Xiao Qing! You're finally awake!" An Yu grabbed Ling Chuqing's shoulders and shouted excitedly.

Ling Qingxue's eyes turned cold.

"...What are you all standing there for! Do you really have to wait until she's fully awake?!"

"Don't be fooled!! Ling Qingxue only likes Lü Ning! She's just using you to help her ruin the girl Lü Ning likes!"

An Yu, perhaps, has concentrated all the wisdom of her life in this moment.

"You, especially you, probably like Ling Qingxue, right? If you were to harm Xiao Qing now, you would only be destroying yourself to satisfy her selfish desires!"

"Don't you understand that nobody will be happy?!"

After An Yu shouted, his face turning red, the scene finally quieted down.

then.

The leader of the thugs asked Ling Qingxue in a trembling voice.

"...Is what she said true?"

"You've ruined Ling Chuqing, and you'll most likely destroy yourself too. That's true."

Ling Chuqing laughed, then said coldly.

"You know I don't care about that at all! That's what I'm asking!"

The boy was trembling all over.

"You, you really like that guy named Lü Ning?"

"..."

Ling Qingxue let out a disdainful snort.

"What does this have to do with you?"

She tilted her head, and her once gentle and beautiful face now showed a devilish contempt and mockery.

"!"

"Can't you stop meddling in other people's business?"

Ling Qingxue clasped her hands together and bowed slightly, looking up at the speechless boy with innocent eyes.

"It's been the same since middle school. Even though I didn't ask you to break up with anyone, you insisted on doing it your own way, making all the fun for me impossible~"

"In the end, you've never really thought about me. What gives you the right to ask me these questions?"

She spoke as if it were a matter of course, her eyes innocent and clear, but deep within her red pupils lay a chill.

"Hey, could you at least do one thing I want you to do?"

She propped her cheek up with her right hand and tilted her head to the side.

"........."

Well, it's hopeless.

I sighed.

If this were a doujinshi, the man would probably be the kind who secretly watches his beloved girl having sex through a crack in the window or door, crying while secretly enjoying the act.

...But wait, in this scene, isn't the role of the blond guy played by me?

That landmine woman is absolutely vicious; she's practically forcing innocent people into prostitution!

Sure enough, the guy who had almost lost his soul walked up to An Yu and Ling Chuqing like a walking corpse.

"That's right, good boy, good boy~"

Ling Qingxue leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

"This is their first time, so please be gentle with them~"

"After I leave, you'd better take good photos and keep all the evidence, then obediently get arrested~"

"It's okay, you're a minor too, right? I'll remember you~ After all, my future happiness depends entirely on you~"

—I told you I could read lips.

The boy was backlit, and I couldn't even see his expression anymore. He nodded numbly; he was clearly a fairly strong boy, but now he looked somewhat hunched over.

He reached out his hand. An Yu, holding Ling Chuqing, closed his eyes and fearfully moved back closer and closer to the rooftop.

There's no need to hide any longer.

Chen Di and I exchanged a glance, and then each rushed out from the shadows.

—At the same time, a commotion arose downstairs.

[Next chapter preview: "I'm a feminist, and I've always believed in gender equality."]

"...That guy almost assaulted me."

"I will definitely, absolutely ruin you."

"Hey, hey, hey, there are children too," Chen Di said helplessly.

"Ning Ruoyu!" "No!!—" "Brother Ruoyu!!!"

Interlude: Winter snow cannot be melted by the sun; it will only melt.

I do not understand.

Why is it so.

Everything was arranged, and everything was almost over.

When Ling Chuqing drank that glass of milk, I could almost see her lying in the hotel, her eyes finally ceasing to smile, finally dead.

It's all that woman's fault, it's all this guy's fault for always going against me!

I initially thought she was just a freebie, something to be disposed of easily. But she turned out to be incredibly cautious, wasting so much time like a wretched eel.

"Boom!"

One of the two boys who rushed out of the shadows seemed to have no idea what to do. After knocking down the idiot standing in front of me, he also hit me hard with a stick.

As if that wasn't enough, he stomped hard on my head again.

"...Did you really need to use that much force? She's a girl, after all."

A stinging pain shot through my head. Lying on the ground, I stared blankly at the ceiling, the concrete layer on the ceiling of this unfinished building teetering on the verge of collapse. In my ears, I could hear what sounded like the voice of Chen Di, the class monitor of Class F.

"Women don't stop me from drawing my knife... or my stick." The guy who knocked me to the ground said nonchalantly, "I'm a feminist, and I've always believed in gender equality."

"When it comes to fighting, everyone should be treated equally."

How utterly hypocritical. I sneered inwardly.

I misjudged you, Ning Ruoyu. You're no fool; you're just like me, a devil destined for hell. Watching this farce, I bet you often sneered to yourself, didn't you?

"Ning Ruoyu! Class monitor!"

They were just two people, outnumbered and outmatched. But An Yu seemed to have completely let go of his worries. He no longer showed the same desperate struggle and effort he had just put in. He was like a bullied child who had found an adult to stand up for him.

"Sorry for the wait."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

The excruciating pain in my back prevented me from sitting up, but I could imagine the expressions on their faces.

"Who are you?"

Fortunately, the only thing that was good for him was his physique, and he seemed to be able to get up with difficulty.

"Xiaoxue! Are you alright?!"

He rushed to my side, trying to help me up.

I slapped his hand away.

"Never mind who they are... Subdue those two boys, then continue."

The pain makes even speaking difficult.

But I am still very happy.

Lu Ning was not among the friends An Yu mentioned.
