My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 54

“Do you need my help? Or do you think those two sentences can wipe the slate clean?”

“You…” Luluye gritted her teeth, “We’re on the same side now, why are you being so petty?”

“You insulted Xiaoxiao, I cannot forgive you!”

“I’m just stating the facts. What, do you expect the whole world to be fanatically fond of her?”

Seeing Luluye and Ziye Yuan’ai arguing, Liu Nuanyu watched the battle with amusement and even mocked them:

“Ha, those two scoundrels are really something, even when they cooperate, there are still contradictions everywhere!”

Liu Nuanyu’s words were purely meant to provoke hatred, and Luluye and Ziye Yuan’ai immediately shifted the topic to her:

“Oh, oh, oh, we’re not like you, scared like this after being beaten up by that man…”

“Yeah, they have no backbone at all.”

Liu Nuanyu: “I’ve reformed! And you’re not saying you’re not afraid! Go ahead and tell Mr. Sun you’re not afraid of him!”

Luluye: “Pah, I don’t rely on the power of the strong. Don’t you remember how many times you’ve suffered at my hands?”

Liu Nuanyu: “Oh ho ho ho, so you say ‘not relying on the strength of the strong’? Didn’t you boast before that your teacher would save you? And what happened after that? Also, you only beat me by cheating. I guess you can only bully that bad guy next to you, right?”

Ziye Genai: “She really only knows how to bully me…”

Luluye: “Shut up!”

Ziye Yuanai: “Dream on! Neither of you are good people. One of you stole what belonged to me, and the other bullied me, a lonely person!”

Liu Nuanyu: “What do you mean by ‘belonging to you’? If you’re referring to Sister Xiao, then I’m sorry, Sister Xiao doesn’t belong to anyone!”

Luluye: “Heh, red-haired girl, look, this guy has actually stopped stuttering. Anger is really useful.”

Liu Nuanyu: “Blackie! Don’t call me Red-haired Girl!”

Luluye: “What’s that called? Calling you by your first name? Ha, why are you so angry? Want to fight? Perfect, I don’t like that way of addressing you either! If I can beat you once, I can beat you a second time!”

Liu Nuanyu: “I’ll return those words to you verbatim!”

…

The three women were locked in a three-way standoff, disliking each other. Lu Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, was at a loss, unsure whether to offer advice or not.

Helpless, Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at Sun Du. Sun Du just wanted to enjoy his lunch and didn’t want to get involved in their mess, but now… well, he had to do something about it.

Sun Du tapped the table, signaling the group to be quiet. They did indeed shut up obediently and behaved themselves on the surface… but only on the surface.

On the table, Sun Du savored the delicacies, with Jiang Wuqiu and Aila Mirong keeping him company, occasionally pouring him wine and so on. Meanwhile, under the table…

Jiang Wuqiu: “Look at my feet!”

Ayramiron: “Go to hell!”

They took off their shoes and kicked each other with their black-stockinged feet, even “ankle wrestling.” Inspired by this, Liu Nuanyu, Luluye, and Ziye Yuan’ai joined in. Hmm… a three-way standoff, each foot taking on one target.

“Ah la la la la la la…”

“Snoring snoring snoring snoring…”

“Ah-da, ah-da, ah-da…”

There was a clattering sound under the table as Sun Du ate his food expressionlessly. He didn’t want to get involved anymore. Even an upright official can’t settle family disputes. In essence, he wasn’t entirely a member of Wutong Academy. As long as he didn’t break the law, he couldn’t get too involved in the affairs of Wutong Academy and the Mocking Witch Society. As for the three people over there, it was even less of their business.

As for Lu Xiaoxiao, she gave up on her too. She couldn’t control her anymore. Sigh… Maybe things will calm down once they’ve finished causing trouble?

The table was calm, but underneath it was a raging storm. The noise gradually grew louder, with several loud bangs on the table. A teacup even flew up, crashed onto the table, and rolled a few times.

Lunch ended in this atmosphere. It’s hard to say who won between them. Anyway, Lu Xiaoxiao was full, and Sun Du was happy. The rest… is their own business.

After lunch, Sun Du didn’t forget to teach Luluye and Ziye Yuan’ai a lesson, and also gave the other three girls a flick on the forehead to tell them to be more careful next time and not to fight.

In the western section of Wutong Academy, Luluye and Ziye Yuanai were hung upside down from a sycamore tree, their legs bound and suspended from the branches.

Ziye Yuan’ai’s face turned bright red. It wasn’t because she was uncomfortable; simply being hung upside down wasn’t enough to make her, a magic user far stronger than ordinary people, feel uncomfortable. She was just trying her best to cover her skirt and prevent it from falling down.

Aren’t you wearing safety shorts?

Luluye, standing next to her, made no attempt to cover herself up, simply hanging there, letting her skirt and hair cascade down, revealing her white pumpkin safety shorts.

“I have… but that’s still too… embarrassing…”

As Ziye Yuanai spoke, she pulled her skirt up again… geographically, pressing it down.

“Ha, wishful thinking! No matter what, you have to be prepared to be caught and punished!”

“What?! It’s all because of you!” Gen’ai Murasaki glared at Luluye. “If it weren’t for your terrible idea, I wouldn’t be like this!”

“You agreed to this yourself? Blame me? Forget it. Anyway, what you should be thinking about now is how to survive in Wutong Academy, or… how about joining our Witch-Mocking Society?”

“Pah! Just seeing your face makes me sick!”

“Ha! You think I’d want to see your face? If it weren’t for the fact that I could torture you properly by tricking you into joining the Witch’s Guild, I wouldn’t have extended an invitation to you!”

“What? You really are a bad guy!”

“Of course I’m the bad guy!”

…

Meanwhile, after lunch, Sun Du found Lu Xiaoxiao and explained to her Ziye Yuan’ai’s deep-seated obsession, as well as the truth he had uncovered.

“So… that’s how it is. So, Commander Sun, what happened to you and Sister Liu…”

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned as she processed this information. Hmm… there was too much information for her to process all at once.

“It must be really upsetting, right? Xiaoxiao, the first friend you made at the academy turned out to be this kind of person…”

“There were some, but not too many. My feelings towards Ziye were more of doubt and guilt. Now, the guilt has dissipated, and the doubts are gone. All that’s left is that ‘first friend’ label. Compared to that…”

Lu Xiaoxiao looked in one direction and said:

“I feel really bad for Sister Liu, because of me, she was put in danger.”

“You’d better thank her properly; she cares about you more than herself!”

At this moment, Governor Sun took the opportunity to speak well of Liu Nuanyu, saying that what happened yesterday had frightened him and he did not want it to happen again.

“I will, but… Director Sun, about Ziye… what should I do? Tell her the truth, or…”

“You’ll have to judge for yourself. Perhaps you could hint to her that you’re not the Lu Xiaoxiao she thinks you are. That way, you can prevent her from making any further mistakes without having to tell her the even more cruel truth.”

“Hmm, good idea.”
