My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 27
A frighteningly possessive obsession…
Just hearing those words was enough to make Sun Du’s instincts tell him one thing—
Another troublesome woman had appeared.
“So,” Sun Du asked, “can you tell me more about her?”
Liu Nuanyu nodded.
“She has light brown, shoulder-length hair that’s braided on both sides. She has a round face, little dimples whenever she smiles, and… honestly, she looks pretty cute.”
“According to Xiao-mei, she became a magical girl in the same class as her, so they’re classmates. Xiao-mei entered the program a little earlier because of her talent, but the two of them became good friends.”
“When I first met her, I simply thought she was Xiao-mei’s friend.”
“But…”
“But?” Sun Du prompted.
“It was about two weeks ago.”
“I was taking Xiao-mei to see our teacher.”
“After Xiao-mei said goodbye to her, I casually waved goodbye as well.”
“But…”
“The moment Xiao-mei turned around…”
“…that girl looked at me.”
“There was resentment in her eyes.”
“Resentment?”
Sun Du frowned.
“Are you certain?”
“You didn’t mistake what you saw?”
“At the time…”
“I thought maybe I’d imagined it.”
“So I didn’t pay much attention.”
“But…”
“A few days later…”
“Someone reported signs of possible corruption at a nearby construction site.”
“They were worried an infected creature had turned into an evil being.”
“So I went to investigate.”
“And then?”
“You were ambushed?”
“…Almost.”
“There wasn’t any corruption at all.”
“It was a trap.”
“The building suddenly collapsed.”
“I nearly got buried alive.”
“Fortunately, I reacted fast enough and escaped.”
“I was covered in dust…”
“And when I looked back…”
“I saw someone hiding behind a tree.”
“It was her.”
“This time…”
“I’m certain.”
“She was staring at me with the exact same resentment.”
“Later, I investigated the report about the construction site.”
“I couldn’t find the person who made it.”
“But…”
“I’m convinced the whole thing was her doing.”
“Otherwise…”
“Why would she have been there?”
“And why would she look at me like that?”
Sun Du nodded thoughtfully.
“Your suspicion makes sense.”
He continued,
“Normally, corruption only appears when powerful evil beings—or those with infectious abilities—break through the defensive lines.”
“If they’ve already breached the defenses…”
“There’d be no reason to intentionally expose themselves by releasing corruption.”
“I see…”
Liu Nuanyu scratched her head awkwardly.
“I didn’t know that.”
“That’s specialized knowledge.”
“Mostly useful for people stationed on the front lines.”
“The war ended several years ago.”
“Most veterans have already retired.”
“Some returned home.”
“Others are still recovering.”
“So…”
“Not many people would have taught you those things.”
“That’s true.”
“My teacher never really explained them.”
“Either she doesn’t know herself…”
“Or she thinks you don’t need to know yet.”
“Or perhaps…”
“…she believes the time isn’t right.”
Sun Du couldn’t help reflecting.
The world truly had changed.
Young magical girls like Liu Nuanyu had only begun their careers after the war ended.
To them…
The great war already felt distant.
Back then…
Fifth-tier fighters could barely survive on the outskirts.
Seventh-tier experts were still little more than expendable soldiers.
Only the ninth-tier elites fought at the true front lines.
Times had changed.
Returning to the present, Sun Du asked,
“So…”
“What do you plan to do about that girl?”
Liu Nuanyu lowered her head.
“I…”
“I don’t know.”
“This is the first time I’ve dealt with something like this.”
“I’ve tried asking Xiao-mei indirectly.”
“But…”
“In Xiao-mei’s eyes…”
“That girl is perfectly normal.”
“I want to know why she hates me…”
“But…”
“I’m afraid to ask.”
She paused before quietly adding,
“However…”
“However?”
“I noticed something.”
“The way she looked at Xiao-mei…”
“And the way she looked at me…”
“They weren’t the same.”
“I recognized the emotion.”
“It was possessiveness.”
“She…”
“…wants Xiao-mei to belong only to her.”
“Possessiveness…”
Sun Du muttered.
“So…”
“The reason you kept causing me trouble…”
“…was because you’d already been threatened by someone like her.”
“When you finally met someone outside the academy…”
“You wanted to protect that rare, peaceful time with Xiaoxiao.”
“…”
Liu Nuanyu fell silent.
After a long pause, she lowered her head.
“I’m sorry.”
“Maybe…”
“I’m exactly the kind of person who bullies the weak…”
“…but fears the strong.”
Seeing her dejected expression, Sun Du decided not to tease her anymore.
“Alright.”
“I’ve checked.”
“That girl really does have an unusually strong attachment to Xiaoxiao.”
“As for why…”
“I’ll have to find out myself.”
Unless absolutely necessary, Sun Du never used mind-reading.
First, he respected other people’s privacy.
Second…
Peering directly into someone’s heart only revealed their personal perspective.
Those memories could be distorted by emotions and bias.
Doing so would make it difficult to remain impartial.
“I’ll go investigate.”
“You’re really going?”
“Of course.”
“You just wait patiently.”
“I’ll stop her if she tries to hurt you.”
“And…”
“I’ll find out why she’s acting like this.”
“Thank you…”
“Mr. Sun.”
“It’s nothing.”
“You’re Xiaoxiao’s friend.”
“…A friend of Xiao-mei…”
For some reason…
Hearing those words made Liu Nuanyu feel strangely lonely.
“Alright.”
“Pack your things.”
“It’s time to head to Wutong Academy.”
“Your teachers—and the dean—are waiting for us.”
“…Okay.”
Liu Nuanyu nodded.
There was still something she hadn’t said.
She wanted to apologize to Sun Du properly.
Not with a few simple words.
A genuine apology.
She knew she’d treated him terribly before.
The problem was…
She had no idea how to apologize sincerely.
Maybe…
She should ask Xiao-mei for advice.
And…
Thinking of her, Liu Nuanyu couldn’t help sighing.
“It’s only been a few days…”
“But…”
“I kind of miss her.”
Sun Du sat quietly inside the car, gazing out the window.
The scenery had certainly changed over the years.
Yet…
It somehow still felt familiar.
Perhaps there was simply too much to take in at once.
He withdrew his gaze and looked toward the front seats.
Liu Nuanyu and Lu Xiaoxiao were chatting happily together.
As expected…
She’s definitely the daughter of a wealthy family.
Her personality alone makes that obvious.
Sun Du smiled helplessly.
Their luxury sedan wasn’t traveling alone.
Several escort vehicles surrounded it.
Sedans.
Vans.
Even a few sports cars.
The convoy was surprisingly comprehensive.
According to Lu Xiaoxiao, the bodyguards had prepared every type of vehicle imaginable for emergencies.
They really thought of everything…
Though…
Why not bring an SUV too?
It’s not like cities near the front lines restrict vehicle types or modifications.
When they first met him, the bodyguards had remained extremely cautious.
They suspected Sun Du might have hidden motives.
Only after he casually demonstrated his strength—
For example…
Piercing a thick concrete slab with a single finger—
Did they finally relax.
Before long, a vast complex appeared in the distance.
“So…”
“That’s Wutong Academy.”
Even from afar, the towering academic buildings and fortress-like walls were impossible to miss.
It truly deserved its reputation.
The academy had once served as a military fortress.
Its imposing presence could be felt long before they reached its gates.
As the convoy drew closer, however…
The atmosphere changed.
Students filled the campus with youthful energy.
Girls dressed in orange school uniforms walked beneath rows of towering phoenix trees.
Some gathered in small groups chatting.
Others strolled quietly beneath the branches.
Autumn had just begun.
A few leaves had already turned golden.
Bathed in sunlight…
The entire campus seemed to glow.
Sun Du smiled.
“They say…”
“‘Where phoenix trees grow, phoenixes naturally gather.'”
“Not bad.”
“Not bad at all.”
Then he glanced around the car.
“Looking inside this carriage…”
“…it seems both the phoenix…”
“…and the dragon…”
“…have already arrived.”
