My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 9

Lu Xiaoxiao quietly sipped her bowl of porridge.

Across from him, Sun Du kept stuffing freshly steamed buns into his mouth one after another, completely ignoring the fact that they were piping hot.

Meanwhile, Liu Nuanyu sat beside them, awkwardly trying to flirt with Sun Du.

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Sun Du: “…”

Did she really think this was charming?

Instead of looking attractive, she seemed strangely intimidating. Even Lu Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable watching her, let alone Sun Du.

Sun Du leaned over and whispered,

“Xiaoxiao…”

“Is your best friend always like this?”

Lu Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Liu Nuanyu before whispering back,

“I don’t think so.”

“Sister Liu seems… a little out of her mind today.”

Sun Du sighed.

“She must have something bothering her.”

“To be honest, why can’t people just get along peacefully?”

“Why insist on making life difficult for everyone?”

He had never understood why some people stubbornly clung to resentment.

Liu Nuanyu was obviously a kind person.

Yet somehow…

She lacked something that a true magical girl should possess.

Love.

Justice.

Compassion.

Sun Du could easily use a little magic to uncover everything she was thinking.

But he refused.

Even if he knew she harbored bad intentions toward him, he wouldn’t pry into someone else’s heart.

His name meant encouraging others forward—not crushing everyone who offended him.

Of course…

Liu Nuanyu wasn’t thinking about any of that.

Even if she knew, she’d probably ignore it.

At this very moment, she was secretly searching her phone.

Since she didn’t know how to pursue a man…

She decided to consult romance novels.

“Let’s read some female-oriented novels…”

“Those CEO romances should teach me something.”

She randomly opened one of the most popular books.

The CEO’s Innocent Wife

“…Gu Nanting cornered Tang Wan’an against the wall, lifted her chin, and looked at her mockingly…”

“…Tang Wan’an slapped him…”

“…Gu Nanting smiled wickedly.”

“Woman… you’ve successfully caught my attention.”

“…Then he kissed her…”

“…Huh?”

Liu Nuanyu stared blankly.

“…What kind of nonsense is this?”

“I mean…”

“If I ignored logic…”

“It was still readable.”

“But how am I supposed to copy this?”

“If I slapped that guy…”

“I’d probably be the one flying away.”

“No.”

“Next one.”

She opened another novel.

The Lonely Young Master Loves Too Deeply

“…Whenever Lin Beichen touches a woman, he suffers unbearable pain…”

“…Until he meets the only woman immune to his condition…”

“What kind of bizarre disease is that?”

“That jerk clearly doesn’t have anything like this!”

Next.

The Cold-Hearted School Prince

“…The male lead treats the heroine as a substitute for his first love…”

“…Only to genuinely fall in love with her later…”

“…White moonlight?”

“Do I look like anyone’s first love?”

Next.

Young Master Jiang, Please Stop Chasing Me

“…After one passionate night, the heroine leaves the country carrying triplets…”

“Nope.”

“Not reading this.”

“There isn’t even a chance for a one-night stand with that guy.”

Next.

Endless Tender Feelings

“…The hero mistakes the wrong woman for his savior…”

“…Wait.”

“Isn’t this just The Little Mermaid?”

“If it were me…”

“He’d probably be the one saving me.”

“…Actually.”

“With his personality…”

“He’d probably kick me while I was already down.”

…

After reading several novels, Liu Nuanyu still hadn’t found a useful idea.

Either the stories relied on impossible coincidences…

Or the leads fell in love at first sight.

She couldn’t help sighing.

“Why can all these heroines capture the strongest men with a single glance…”

“But I have to risk my life just to flirt with one man?”

“Big sisters…”

“Can’t you write something actually useful?”

Completely out of ideas, she turned to the internet.

She posted a question asking how to make a man far stronger than herself fall hopelessly in love with her.

Ignoring the obvious joke replies…

Almost every serious answer consisted of the same four words.

“Go to sleep.”

“What?!”

“I didn’t even explain the situation properly!”

She nearly slammed her phone onto the table.

In reality…

She didn’t need to explain.

Everyone already knew the answer.

If the difference between them wasn’t overwhelming…

She wouldn’t have asked in the first place.

…

After breakfast, the three headed toward the training grounds.

Lu Xiaoxiao was going to continue training.

Sun Du planned to watch from the sidelines.

And Liu Nuanyu naturally tagged along.

Her first attempt at seduction had accomplished absolutely nothing.

Still…

She wasn’t about to give up.

Since subtle methods didn’t work…

She’d simply go all in.

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained!”

“I’m betting everything on this!”

Making up her mind, Liu Nuanyu hurried beside Sun Du as they walked.

She boldly hugged his arm.

Then…

She tugged slightly at the collar of her clothes.

Sun Du slowly turned to look at her.

His expression resembled someone who had just seen a ghost.

Because he was taller, his line of sight naturally looked downward.

Suppressing her embarrassment, Liu Nuanyu forced a sweet smile.

“Brother Sun~”

As she spoke, she lowered her collar just a little more.

Let’s see you resist this.

Surely you’ll be captivated now…

Suddenly—

Sun Du spoke.

“You’re not wearing a bra.”

“Ahhh!”

Liu Nuanyu screamed.

She immediately spun around to check herself in panic.

“…”

“…”

“…I’m wearing one.”

Only then did she realize…

She’d been tricked again.

Behind her, Sun Du quietly spoke with Lu Xiaoxiao.

“Commander Sun…”

“Sister Liu really is…”

“I didn’t actually look.”

Sun Du shrugged.

“I was only teasing her.”

“But judging from that reaction…”

“I’m probably right.”

“I don’t think anyone could genuinely forget what they’re wearing.”

“If she ran off to check…”

“That’s practically confirmation.”

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully.

“I suppose that’s true…”

“Although…”

“Wearing one really is uncomfortable…”

Hearing their conversation, Liu Nuanyu’s face turned bright red before rapidly turning pale again.

Embarrassment.

Humiliation.

Anger.

All mixed together until she no longer knew how to react.

Sun Du simply ignored her.

Instead, he turned back toward Lu Xiaoxiao.

“Xiaoxiao.”

“How many more days will you be training here?”

“About four.”

“This is already my third training session.”

“Teacher brings me here every week.”

“If she’s discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow…”

“We should be returning to school.”

“I see.”

Sun Du nodded thoughtfully.

“Honestly…”

“It’s still too early for this kind of training.”

“You haven’t even finished learning the fundamentals.”

“Jiang Wuqiu’s methods are far too harsh.”

“This feels less like raising magical girls…”

“And more like forging weapons for battle.”

“When she’s discharged…”

“I’ll have another talk with her.”

“And if she still refuses to listen to reason…”

Sun Du casually cracked his knuckles.

“I don’t mind settling things with my fists instead.”
