Chapter 83: 083. A Breakup Worth a Human Life (First Update)

"Don’t move," Chu Chen pressed down on her foot and frowned, "You just recovered from a burn a few days ago, and now there’s such a big bruise. I’ve told you to be careful."

She had grown accustomed to his incessant nagging since childhood, so Gu Xinuo nodded in agreement, "I know, I know."

She put down her laptop, reached for the ointment on the table, and toyed with it, "It’s just a minor injury, and with Ajiu’s unique ointment, it’ll heal in a couple of days."

"..."

Ajiu again.

Chu Chen’s mouth twitched. Who the hell is actually applying the ointment for her?

After applying the ointment, Gu Xinuo stuffed the laptop into Chu Chen’s arms, her smile sycophantic, "Achen, I’ll leave the rest of the files to you."

It was only at times like this that she would remember him. Chu Chen gave her a sidelong glance and spoke faintly, "Why don’t you leave them for Ajiu to handle?"

"How could I do that? Ajiu has school, and what if my Little Liangliang gets tired?" Gu Xinuo blatantly showed her partiality.

"..." Chu Chen fought the urge to toss the laptop.

This heartless woman, how come she never knows to be partial to him for a change?

Gu Xinuo, oblivious to Chu Chen’s jealousy, focused on the TV drama.

As time silently slipped by, Chu Chen worked on urgent files, occasionally glancing at the person beside him.

Suddenly, a weight on his shoulder.

He turned his head, and her soft hair brushed against his nose.

Chu Chen’s gaze softened, the woman’s peaceful sleeping face came into view, her cherry-pink lips glistened with a honey-like sheen, as if inviting him to draw closer.

He carefully set down the laptop and leaned back slightly, his muscular arm around her shoulders, adjusting her angle so she could lean against him comfortably.

Knowing she was cold, he reached for the blanket nearby and draped it over her.

"Gu Xinuo, you heartless thing, I rushed back to cook for you, and the first thing you talk about is that guy Ye Jiuliang..." Chu Chen murmured his complaint in a very soft voice.

In her sleep, Gu Xinuo felt as if someone was prattling on by her ear; her lips turned downwards slightly, and she muttered, "Ajiu, so noisy."

Another critical hit.

Chu Chen’s health bar was depleted, "..."

After the monthly exam fiasco had passed, Beisen’s notice board displayed perhaps the most dramatic scene since the school’s establishment.

A space that was supposed to showcase honors, was now plastered entirely with "letters of apology."

Upon closer inspection, the most repeated phrase in the variety of letters was – expressing deep apologies to Ye Jiuliang.

These letters of apology had all been collected and put up by Wei Bei early in the morning.

From a distance, Wei Bei watched the notice board, now completely covered, and couldn’t help but laugh.

He guessed that for some time, everyone at Beisen would have a psychological shadow when they saw Ye Jiuliang.

Following this incident, Ye Jiuliang’s heroic act spread throughout Beisen, and regardless of the department, everyone had heard of Ye Jiuliang.

The image of a top student had been firmly established.

Arriving at school right on time, Ye Jiuliang stepped into the classroom; instantly, the surrounding noise quieted down.

She lowered her eyes and walked straight to her seat.

As soon as she pulled out her chair, the overstuffed desk drawer spilled out its contents with a clatter.

She frowned slightly and looked down.

All sorts of snacks, and many envelopes.

Many eyes converged on her, filled with expectations, jealousy, admiration...

Ye Jiuliang bent over, picked up the scattered items from the floor, and shoved them back into the drawer all at once.

Her expression remained calm, showing no sign of surprise or curiosity.

Ye Jiuliang pulled out her chair and sat down just as Xu Li walked into the room.

The lengthy lecture began again, and nobody dared to be distracted, for fear of being called upon at any moment.

Throughout the class, envious glances intermittently swept towards the girl seated at the back by the window.

She was seen resting her head on one hand, her beautiful eyes gazing outside, blatantly daydreaming as she took in the scenery.

A top student is indeed a top student, not even paying attention in class and still scoring full marks.

Did God not see their existence when He was creating people?

Ye Jiuliang tapped on the desk lightly, somewhat distracted.

Closing her eyes, that person’s low and magnetic voice echoed in her ears again.

"Wolf cub, I want to eat hot and sour noodles."

She pinched the bridge of her nose, her pale little face showing a hint of annoyance.

That damn Li Mochan, he’s simply toxic.

When class ended, Ye Jiuliang went straight to the rooftop.

Just as her hand touched the doorknob, she heard the tumultuous sound of arguing.

"I don’t agree to break up, I’d rather die than agree."

"I’ve made up my mind; your disagreement is irrelevant."

"Qinqing, give me another chance, I swear I won’t go to those places again, I really love you, I can’t live without you."

"Let go." The woman’s agitated voice was mixed with sobs.

"Wang Xu, when you promised to be devoted to me, you should have foreseen this outcome the moment you started two-timing..."

Suddenly, the woman’s panicked screams erupted.

"Wang Xu, what are you doing, have you lost your mind?"

"Qinqing, I don’t want to hurt you. Just promise me we won’t break up, and everything will be as good as before, okay?"

"Wang Xu, you madman, let me go, let go!"

The woman’s cries grew louder. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Hey, can you keep it down when you’re arguing?" The chilly voice unexpectedly interrupted.

Ye Jiuliang leaned against the iron door, her cold eyes glancing at the woman whose body hung perilously over the railing, her expression indifferent.

Love, indeed unreliable.

Even a simple breakup had to turn life-threatening.

Such a hassle.

Recognizing who had spoken, Wang Xu’s crazed expression hadn’t faded, and he hoarsely said, "Ye Jiuliang, this has nothing to do with you, please leave."

"Asking me to leave?" Ye Jiuliang let out a cold laugh, "Who do you think you are?"

"Ye Jiuliang, I’m having a disagreement with my girlfriend, do you really need to meddle?" Wang Xu, having heard of Ye Jiuliang’s reputation, especially since she was from the Ye family, naturally did not want to provoke her.

"Heh," Ye Jiuliang smiled sardonically, "You’re already a scumbag yet expect her to keep being your girlfriend? Your skin is almost as thick as the walls of a toilet."

"Save me, please, I’m begging you, I’m not his girlfriend, he’s just a bastard." Wu Qinqing’s eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Ye Jiuliang, crying out desperately.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Wu Qinqing." Wang Xu, agitated, his hoarse voice suddenly rose, and his grip on her neck lacked any restraint.

Wu Qinqing, pressed against the railing, her upper body hanging in the air and choked by the neck, her face quickly turned red.

"Cough, cough..."

"Help, help me."

The frenzied Wang Xu was completely unaware of the person approaching from behind, just muttering to himself incessantly.

"Qinqing, don’t break up with me, I’ll change, I’ll definitely treat you better in the future."

"Enough already, still acting like a jerk, what, no self-awareness at all?" Ye Jiuliang grabbed his hair and with a backhand punch, struck his fierce face.

"Hiss––"

With an immediate bruise at the corner of his mouth and blood seeping out, Wang Xu groaned in pain.
