Chapter 65: Danger
“Let her take revenge if she wants, it’s fine, I’m not at school anyway.” Lin Muxi shrugged, acting like she didn’t care at all.
“Huh? Not at school?”
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Muxi in confusion, thinking to herself, how could a senior in high school not be at school?
“Yeah, I only need to come for exams now. On normal days, I can come or not, doesn’t matter.”
Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao’s puzzled face, Lin Muxi explained proudly.
“For real? I’m so jealous… I also want to go out and have fun.”
Seeing how free Lin Muxi was, Yu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel sour inside.
If only she could live like that, she could work part-time to earn money while studying at the same time.
“In short, let her take revenge if she wants. I’m not at school anyway. And besides, we’ll graduate soon. Who’s afraid of her?”
Lin Muxi lightly clenched her fist, clearly still holding a grudge against the person who hit her.
She might not be able to beat her inside school, but can’t she just avoid her outside?
As long as she’s not at school, what could Gu Jiusheng possibly do to her?
She has skills, but no target to use them on.
And even in the worst case, Mo Ziyang is there to protect her. There’s nothing to be afraid of.
“Hmm… well, that’s true…”
Looking at Lin Muxi’s confident expression, Yu Xiaoxiao could only secretly worry for her.
Because to her, Gu Jiusheng wasn’t someone easy to deal with. She was far more scheming than she looked.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao so concerned, Lin Muxi patted her chest to reassure her.
“Alright then… I’ll go back to class first. Sister Lin, you be careful too.”
Since it was almost 7 o’clock, Yu Xiaoxiao had to rush back before her teacher arrived. She quickly wolfed down the rest of her breakfast.
Then, carrying her plate, she stood up, said goodbye to Lin Muxi, and ran off.
Left behind, Lin Muxi had no one to chat with anymore, so she ate her breakfast quietly while spacing out.
But she hadn’t even warmed her seat before she was already restless. Swinging her legs on the chair and fiddling with her chopsticks, her head was full of random thoughts.
She was so bored. She really wanted to go do something.
But with the clothes she was wearing, going outside didn’t feel right. She still had her pride, after all.
Sure, this place could ease that embarrassing “social death” feeling a lot, but she still didn’t want to stay here.
After thinking it over, she suddenly remembered that her good bro said he was going up on stage.
So she smacked her forehead and decided right away to head to the sports field to see what her bro was doing.
On the other side, Mo Ziyang had just gotten off the car and met with Xiao Luyu. The two were walking toward the sports field.
Noticing that Mo Ziyang came alone, Xiao Luyu couldn’t help but feel curious.
Normally, Mo Ziyang should’ve brought his girlfriend with him.
“Why didn’t Young Master Mo bring the young madam today?” Xiao Luyu teased, risking his own neck.
“Don’t want trouble.” Mo Ziyang replied flatly, his simple words easily fooling Xiao Luyu.
Obviously, he didn’t want Xiao Luyu to know that Lin Muxi had come to school, even though Xiao Luyu had no idea that his girlfriend was actually Lin Muxi.
But what Mo Ziyang didn’t expect was that a certain silly girl, bored out of her mind, was rushing over right now to expose his lie.
“So you really plan on giving Gu Jiusheng no face at all? You know exactly what kind of person she is.”
Looking at Mo Ziyang’s frosty, ice-cold expression, even Xiao Luyu felt a bit surprised.
After all, in all this time, this was the first time he had seen Mo Ziyang go against a girl.
Although Gu Jiusheng did kind of deserve it, it was still a rare sight to see.
“Are you really going to hold back when your girlfriend hit someone so hard that their head is bleeding? And you’re still the young master of the Xiao family? You should just change your name to Ninja instead.” Mo Ziyang raised his eyebrow and said with disdain.
Of course, he knew very well that Xiao Luyu was actually reminding him to be careful of Gu Jiusheng taking revenge on Lin Muxi.
But he himself was the eldest young master of the Mo family. Now that someone bullied his future wife right in front of him, was he supposed to just stand by and watch?
"That's true. She is practically asking for it, what am I supposed to do, just stand there?"
Xiao Luyu, feeling the pressure, quickly gave in and nodded, terrified of angering Mo Ziyang.
Even so, what he said did make sense.
If it were his own girlfriend, Xiao Luyu wouldn’t have just endured it either.
As they talked, the two of them had already reached the platform on the school playground.
There were still several dozen minutes before the flag-raising ceremony began. On the playground, the students who had been called to set up the venue were nervously doing final checks and counts.
By the side of the stage, the school leaders were already waiting, holding speeches in their hands, ready to give statements about this extremely bad case of campus violence.
The one responsible, Gu Jiusheng, was already standing obediently to the side with a written script in her hand.
Her red eyes showed clearly that she had just been crying somewhere.
But Mo Ziyang didn’t care about that. Right now, he only wanted Gu Jiusheng to pay for bullying Lin Muxi.
If he hadn’t discovered it in time that day, Lin Muxi might have been hurt even worse. From what he knew of Gu Jiusheng, it wasn’t impossible for her to go much further against Lin Muxi.
Meanwhile, Gu Jiusheng, after seeing Mo Ziyang, didn’t look scared at all. Instead, she looked at him and Xiao Luyu with an expression full of expectation.
“This girl must have something wrong with her head.”
Seeing Gu Jiusheng’s face with no regret at all, Xiao Luyu shook his head speechlessly.
Even Mo Ziyang turned his head away with disgust and clicked his tongue.
That expression was just too ugly.
She had hurt Lin Muxi, yet still dared to look at him like that. How could she?
Mo Ziyang couldn’t understand.
If it weren’t for the fact that he still had some reason left, he probably would have already rushed over and beaten Gu Jiusheng until even her mother wouldn’t recognize her.
But unfortunately for Gu Jiusheng, she thought this was only the school’s punishment for her.
She had no idea that she wasn’t only being used by the school, but also that Mo Ziyang and Xiao Luyu were secretly behind everything.
“So what punishment are you going to give? You can decide the final one.”
Looking at Mo Ziyang’s obvious disgust, Xiao Luyu couldn’t help but laugh.
It was the first time he had ever seen Mo Ziyang show that kind of expression.
“Punishment… force her to be a day student until the college entrance exam.”
When Xiao Luyu asked, Mo Ziyang couldn’t think of a harsher punishment at the moment.
Anyway, as long as this girl disappeared from his sight and could no longer threaten Lin Muxi, that was enough.
“Plus, a public notice of criticism to the whole school, that should be about right…”
“But I’m surprised you didn’t call the police.”
Xiao Luyu asked again, since in a way this was basically a fight.
And judging by Mo Ziyang’s personality, normally he would have gone much harder. Why was he suddenly being soft this time?
“Forget it, this can be counted as my last bit of mercy.”
Mo Ziyang gave a self-mocking laugh and waved his hand, signaling Xiao Luyu not to dwell on it.
While the two of them were talking—
By coincidence, a bright figure suddenly appeared on the school playground.
It was Lin Muxi, wearing a black-and-white maid dress, with long black hair, white socks, and small leather shoes, running toward the direction of his good bro.
On the hem of her dress, the faint word “Mo” could be seen, which made the school leaders inspecting students’ appearances not dare to stop her.
Of course, that silly figure didn’t escape Mo Ziyang’s eyes on the stage either.
Oh no!
Why did this fool run here?!
Didn’t he tell her to wait for his call?
