The Cannon Fodder NPC Went Too Far [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 33
Chapter 33
“Ao Yu, aren’t you going to class?” Seeing Gu Ao Yu immediately walk in the opposite direction with her hands in her pockets after getting out of the car, Xu Lu Xi jogged a few steps to block her path. Gu Ao Yu’s casual face was reflected in her amber eyes as she asked earnestly.
“Why? Did the good student have a change of heart and want to save a hooligan like me?” Gu Ao Yu leaned lazily close to her, rather wickedly blowing a puff of air near her ear.
Xu Lu Xi shivered all over, pursed her lips, and took a step back, covering her tingling ear.
Just as Gu Ao Yu thought she had gone too far and was about to make the girl cry, preparing to straighten up, Xu Lu Xi looked at her seriously. The amber eyes, framed by a light golden outline by the sunlight, were clear and bright. Tiny fragments of light danced under her constantly moving lips.
Even if Gu Ao Yu didn’t particularly like her, she had to admit that she looked stunning in this state.
“You are not a hooligan. You are very kind. If you hadn’t intervened, I would have been bullied several times by now.”
Boring. Is she trying to redeem her? Gu Ao Yu sneered and pouted. Xu Lu Xi’s eyelashes fluttered helplessly a few times, and the fire in her eyes dimmed slightly.
Troublesome. Gu Ao Yu secretly restrained some of her frivolousness. She turned around, ignoring Xu Lu Xi, and walked into the campus with a sour face.
Xu Lu Xi happily raised her eyes, the corners of her eyes slightly lifted, revealing a joyful smile. She jogged a few steps to catch up with Gu Ao Yu, pinching the shoulder straps hanging from her backpack, and secretly glancing at the cold-faced Gu Ao Yu who was looking straight ahead.
Gu Ao Yu entered the classroom with a sour face. The surroundings instantly became silent, and students hurriedly made a path for them.
She had intended to catch up on some sleep during class. Before reaching her seat, she noticed that the two desks at the back, which were originally far apart, had been moved together for some reason, standing proudly in the center.
What’s going on?
Gu Ao Yu slammed her fist on her desk with a loud boom, and coldly looked at the students cautiously peeking at her, asking word for word:
“Who touched my desk?”
“That… that was the teacher who asked me to put your desks together. He said you two are desk-mates from now on and should help and learn from each other,” the class monitor explained weakly, raising her hand.
What kind of nonsense is this? They turn a deaf ear to campus bullying, but they’re quick with this matter.
Gu Ao Yu put her hands on the desk, picked it up, and made a move to move it aside.
A pair of slender hands placed on the desk stopped her.
“You don’t like sitting with me?” Xu Lu Xi bit her lower lip. A layer of mist covered her amber eyes, which glistened with tears.
Gu Ao Yu took a deep breath and reasoned with her coldly.
“I sleep in class, eat, pass notes, and never listen. I’ll affect you. It’s not fair to a good student to sit with a bad student.”
“But… if you don’t sit with me, I will be all alone again in the back row. They won’t play with me.” Xu Lu Xi’s eyelashes lightly trembled. Her eyes held boundless loneliness. She quietly lowered her head, stubbornly and helplessly blocking her way.
Gu Ao Yu gritted her teeth. She glared fiercely at the students who were watching the show. With a loud clatter, she slammed the desk back into its original position, then covered her head and lay on the desk to sleep.
Xu Lu Xi sat obediently and properly in her seat, carefully aligning her desk with Gu Ao Yu’s. Then, she quietly moved her chair slightly toward Gu Ao Yu’s direction. She took out her books, ready for class.
However, her feet, which were originally placed flat, were now raised and swinging happily.
Xu Lu Xi was perceptive from a young age and was an academic achiever, so she quickly found the knack for dealing with Gu Ao Yu.
Gu Ao Yu had a volatile temper and a cold demeanor, but she was loyal, generous, and highly chivalrous. She despised bullying the weak most of all. A person like that, no matter how much she disliked Xu Lu Xi, wouldn’t bear to watch her be isolated and bullied by her classmates.
“Host, Host, the teacher glared at you several times the moment he came in.” The little blue ball lay on Gu Ao Yu’s back, diligently reporting the scene outside.
“Got it. It would be best if he threw some chalk at me and kicked me out,” Gu Ao Yu lay bored in her sea of consciousness, secretly sighing at the old man’s lack of spirit.
With the old man constantly mumbling his lecture, how could she possibly sleep?
“Since the Host is bored, why don’t we complete the plot point of bullying the major villain in the classroom?” The little blue ball plucked at a few strands of hair hanging down from the back of Gu Ao Yu’s head, suggesting brightly.
“Not in order? I remember in the original novel, the original host bullied her a few times in the restroom, and the classroom bullying plot came later,” Gu Ao Yu asked languidly, voicing her confusion.
“It doesn’t have to be in order. The original host bullied the major villain too many times, countless times. Host, you just need to generally trigger all the scenes.”
Gu Ao Yu picked up the little blue ball from her back and pinched its plump cheeks.
“Tell me, how are you going to cut corners and help me clear the level this time, little Tuanzi?”
“Host, why say it so bluntly? There’s no cutting corners. I just added a ‘them’ after the word ‘her’ in every piece of dialogue. This time is the same as before. Host, isn’t the system smart?” The little blue ball excitedly waved its small fists. If it had a tail, it would probably be wagging up to the sky.
It really is a genius!
“Gu Ao Yu delivered a fierce straight punch to her abdomen, knocking her to the ground. A bucket of cold water poured over her, and she shivered and twitched…”
Became: “Gu Ao Yu delivered a fierce straight punch to their abdomen, knocking them to the ground. A bucket of cold water poured over them, and they shivered and twitched…”
See? Even though only the word ‘them’ was added, the target changed.
The Host only needs to step forward when the major villain is being bullied and completely return the methods used by the campus bullies on the major villain back to them.
This way, the mission is completed, the Host doesn’t have any psychological burden when intervening, and she can also protect the young major villain. It’s truly a win-win strategy.
“Stop calling her the ‘major villain’ all the time. She’s not a major villain, she’s clearly a poor little thing being bullied,” Gu Ao Yu sat up, correcting the loophole in the little blue ball’s words.
The little blue ball blinked and looked suspiciously at Xu Lu Xi, who was sitting upright and earnestly listening to the lecture.
Her high ponytail lay smoothly on the back of her neck. Her school uniform was neat and tidy. Even though the weather was getting a bit warm, her school jacket was still properly worn, completely covering her arms.
Her bright eyes were focused tightly on the blackboard, following the teacher’s writing. She looked exactly like a good, obedient student.
Strange. Was the major villain who destroyed bodies in the later part of the novel really like this in her youth? Even with a decade or more until the later plot, the villain’s personality shouldn’t be so drastically different.
Gu Ao Yu stretched her body wide, propped her head up with her hand boredly, and swayed in her seat.
As the $x$ and $y$ symbols on the blackboard increased, the students in the back rows dropped onto their desks with a slap, slap, slap, a vast area falling asleep. Only Xu Lu Xi in the back remained awake.
Gu Ao Yu slightly tilted her head, curiously observing Xu Lu Xi’s serious profile.
Why study so seriously? She doesn’t understand a single word of what the teacher is mumbling.
Xu Lu Xi continued to stare intently at the blackboard, seemingly unaware of the probing gaze beside her, completely undisturbed.
Gu Ao Yu found it boring and lowered her head, writing a note.
Xu Lu Xi pursed her lips. Her fingers suddenly clenched, tightly gripping her black pen. Her initially joyful mood became dull and tasteless.
Was she too serious just now? Did she find her boring?
Perhaps the problem the teacher was lecturing on the podium was too simple, because Xu Lu Xi’s mind was filled with images of Gu Ao Yu who had just woken up.
A strand of hair stood stubbornly on top of her head. She rubbed her eyes sleepily, wiping away the tears that had leaked out. Two red marks were pressed onto her cheek. She turned her head and looked at Xu Lu Xi, her eyes unusually gentle.
Xu Lu Xi imitated Gu Ao Yu, propping her head up with her hand, covering the ear that had turned red facing Gu Ao Yu at some point.
She had simulated and analyzed the previous scenes countless times in her mind based on Gu Ao Yu’s personality. Only after simulating Gu Ao Yu’s gaze fully and completely focused on her, and exchanging several gentle glances with her, did Xu Lu Xi’s mood slightly calm down.
After writing the note, Gu Ao Yu crumpled it into a tight ball. Taking advantage of the moment the old man on the podium was writing on the blackboard, she aimed for the delinquent’s green head and shot the paper ball out with a whoosh, hitting the target accurately.
After repeating the trick and hitting all the delinquents in the class, the disturbed delinquents heavily slammed their desks and angrily searched for the culprit.
Gu Ao Yu brazenly waved at them, then pointed to the paper ball in the delinquent’s hand.
As soon as the delinquents saw this menacing figure, the pain from yesterday’s injuries faintly returned. They glared at Gu Ao Yu, angry but afraid to speak up, and reluctantly unfolded the crumpled note.
A large drawing of a turtle occupied the entire white paper. Its limbs were distorted, and a few simple strokes vividly and absurdly outlined the turtle. It stuck out its tongue, mocking all the delinquents who opened the paper.
The delinquents furiously threw the note on the ground, trampling on it repeatedly with their feet. Then, one of them abruptly stood up, pointing at Gu Ao Yu’s nose, and cursed angrily:
“Gu Ao Yu, are you crazy? What did we do to provoke you? Don’t think we won’t hit you just because you were once our boss.”
Following the command of the new leader, five or six students in the back row stood up menacingly.
Clearly, ever since Gu Ao Yu was collectively expelled from the gang leader position by the delinquents yesterday, they could no longer tolerate her eccentric disposition.
“Gu Ao Yu, XXX, XXX… If you want to fight, take it outside! Don’t disrupt the other students’ class!”
The old man on the podium saw that his class was about to turn into a gang fight. He couldn’t stand it anymore. Several pieces of chalk flew angrily toward them, and he roared at them.
Gu Ao Yu raised an eyebrow at the delinquents glaring at the old man, transferring the hatred back to herself. She was the first to stand up and walk out of the classroom.
Xu Lu Xi secretly bit her lip, watching Gu Ao Yu’s retreating figure.
These little hooligans are truly annoying.
