Ark Heroine Development Plan

"What are you talking about?"

The man seemed to be irritated by Guan Yueli's eyes: "Our Ah Xiao has never bullied anyone, and... I, let me take a step back! Even if my Ah Xiao did something wrong, why would he bully you?!"

"Who would bully your child if he wasn't a troubled one? Why would they bully you?"

After he finished speaking, the whole office fell silent.

"Mr. Ji!"

The head teacher's extremely angry voice broke the silence: "I need you to apologize to Liu and her parents immediately!"

Several blue veins popped out on Chen's forehead. She hadn't been this angry in a long, long time.

"'Why bully you'...right?"

Guan Yueli chewed over these words and suddenly chuckled.

"very good."

"very good."

She turned to look at the head teacher: "Um, Teacher Tang, please take care of our Xiao Meng. There's no need to talk about it this time. I will handle it privately."

The head teacher was stunned at first, then immediately tried to persuade him earnestly: "Don't, Xiaomeng's parents, even if Mr. Ji is... a bad person, you must not do anything bad. Otherwise, Liu will..."

"Oh, don't worry, don't worry." Guan Yueli said with a smile, "I know my limits."

The head teacher wanted to say something, but looking at this woman who was half a head taller than him, he was speechless for a moment.

I just feel good.

You idiot, you hit a wall, didn't you?

"Ah, there's one more thing. After all, even though you're a nobody, you weren't the one who did it."

Her voice suddenly turned cold, but not the kind of deadly coldness, but rather, well... the same kind of majestic coldness that the homeroom teacher wanted, the kind that was used on special attacks against children.

"Come out, don't hide."

Ji Xiao, who was hiding behind his parents, felt his legs go weak and he fell out.

"Why are you bullying my Xiao Meng?"

Guan Yueli squatted down and stared at him.

Xiao Meng also stared at him.

The boy wanted to say that he didn't have it, but being stared at by those crimson eyes, he trembled with his legs and said tremblingly:

"me……"

His parents wanted to stop him, but Chen grabbed them with one hand.

"I'm warning you, don't move," Officer Chen said, each word carefully. "I don't want to be punished."

"I just... I just want her to notice... me..."

The little boy who was being watched burst into tears.

Guan Yueli showed obvious disappointment, as if she was expecting the little boy to give a worse answer.

"The only way to solve this problem is for the children..." She muttered to herself, then looked at Xiao Meng and said, "Are you angry, Xiao Meng?"

Xiao Meng hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"Then tell him." Guan Yueli said with a smile.

Xiao Meng was suddenly embarrassed again. She gently grabbed Guan Yueli's collar and shook her head weakly.

"No." Guan Yueli flicked her head gently, "Otherwise, you won't be able to listen to the next story Sister Guanyue tells."

"If you can't beat the bad snake by yourself, you still have your sister." She smiled and rubbed the little girl's head.

This time, Xiao Meng let go of the hand that was grabbing Guan Yueli's clothes, took a deep breath and sniffed.

"I, I hate you so much! I don't want to see you at all! I will never forgive you!"

She said this to the little boy loudly, firmly, and with red eyes.

"I will never play with you again, and I will ignore you!"

She hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't know what to say, and finally said angrily:

"You...you pig!"

After saying this, Xiao Meng immediately buried her head in Guan Yueli's neck, and her ears to her chin were all red.

"So good~"

Guan Yueli patted Xiao Meng's back with satisfaction, then looked at the little boy.

"Do you understand? My Xiao Meng will not play with you or pay attention to you anymore. Give up."

The little boy cried even harder.

"Okay, it's all over, Xiao Chen, let's go."

Chen looked at the man whose face had turned the color of liver, feeling a little unsatisfied: "Leaving now?"

Guan Yueli blinked: "They don't want to talk about it, right?"

Ten minutes later, Chen, who was strolling on the street, looked at Xiao Meng who was held by Guan Yueli. The little girl had fallen asleep, breathing evenly and steadily.

"I thought you knew nothing." Chen suddenly said.

"Hey, we were about to succeed, but who knew you, Xiao Chen, would suddenly do this." Guan Yueli said softly.

"...Success? Success in what?"

Guan Yueli gently stroked the girl's soft hair: "You are wondering why I don't help her directly, right?"

Chen acquiesced.

"You think too highly of me, Xiao Chen."

Guan Yueli said softly, "I will leave these children sooner or later, and when I see them again, they may be in their thirties, forties, or fifties."

“They shouldn’t have an all-powerful person around them.”

"Educating children is a very complicated matter, Xiao Chen."

Chen had never seen Guan Yueli like this before.

She gently stroked the back of the little girl who was sleeping on her shoulder, her eyes kind and distant.

"As orphans, they can only rely on themselves and their companions. Before I leave them, I just want them to understand this truth."

"Just this principle is enough."

"So you..." Chen suddenly understood.

The stories told by Guan Yueli are not suitable for children.

"That's only part of it." Guan Yueli said with a smile, "However, a child like Xiaomeng can understand a lot of truths just by listening to stories."

"Originally, she didn't dare to come to me, but the story I'll tell her next time is about a little rabbit who couldn't beat away the snake that stole the carrot, so he asked other rabbits for help. Next time, I'll tell her that the little rabbits who were asked for help didn't think it was a bother; they were all happy to be relied upon."

"Change is a gradual process," Guan Yueli said slowly. "Xiao Meng needed some time to muster up her courage and to rely on her friends. After that, she was no longer harassed by that idiotic kid."

"Because that is her own power, not Chen's or Guan Yueli's."

"It's a permanent solution... It's much more effective than just having a conversation. Because even if we're done, with parents like that, the child might still..."

Guan Yueli will not always be by Xiao Meng's side, and neither will Chen.

Chen now knew that her good intentions hadn't led to a successful outcome, and she felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for? You just want to help the kid." Guan Yueli said with a smile, "It's just that you're a bit stupid, Xiao Chen. It's okay."

Chen's eyelids twitched, and he decided not to argue with this woman.

"Are you really going to let them go like this?" Chen suddenly asked again.

"Hmm?" Guan Yueli raised an eyebrow. "Your words are very dangerous, Officer Chen. They are encouraging others to commit crimes."

"I just... hmph, I won't allow you to do anything illegal, but..."

Chen raised his head and stared at this woman whose image in his mind had become extremely complicated.

"It ends just like that. This is not the Yue Li Guan I knew."

"Relax."

Guan Yueli smiled and replied:

"It's not over yet."

……

Ji Xiao and several of his "good friends" were suddenly called out by seniors.

"Ah, Xiao."

His friend was a little scared: "How did we get here..."

This is a remote corner of the campus. They bullied Xiao Meng here and scattered her stationery all over the floor before class, making her late for class.

"Go faster!"

Behind them, several older children were urging them impatiently.

Soon, several children were forced to the wall by the older children.

"Tsk..."

The one leading the group of older children had a very distinct scar on his arm, but he seemed to have no intention of covering it up, and even seemed proud of it, deliberately rolling up his sleeves to reveal the scar.

"If it weren't for Sister Guanyue... I wouldn't have known this happened."

The big boy, whose face looked cold and stern, not like a child anymore, raised his leg and kicked Ji Xiao hard in the stomach.

"What the hell are you, huh?"

The big boy's roar made the little ones cry.

Ji Xiao rolled on the ground in pain, holding his stomach, but the older boy didn't care and simply lifted his collar and slapped him.

"Hey, hey, hey, Li Ge, forget it, forget it. If you hit me too hard, I'll get scolded."

The older boy called Ali in the orphanage was also taken aback, then he let go of his hand and muttered, "That's right..."

He was indeed worried about being scolded, but in his heart, the person he was afraid of scolding him was different from that of other children.

Ali squatted down, and a sinister smile that did not suit his age appeared on his young face:

"Don't worry, I won't hit you next time, but I want you to suffer ten times as much as Xiao Meng did here!"

"Luozi, where's the water?"

"I'm coming!"

The older boy picked up the bucket and poured water directly on the head of Ji Xiao who was lying on the ground without saying a word.

"Are you afraid of me, or do you hate me?" Ali said with a smile while stepping on Ji Xiao's head.

"Ah, never mind. Xiao Meng said you did all these stupid things to get his attention? What the hell are you dreaming about? Do you deserve it?"

"Just be clear about one thing—regardless of your purpose for doing something, you must be prepared for retribution. I've already been prepared."

"But now, at least now, even if I suffer retribution, it won't matter at all."

The older boy laughed heartily.

Naive and cruel.

"We are all just kids, right?"

……

"Oh, sorry, Old Ji."

A passerby touched the man's coffee and apologized indifferently.

"you--"
