The Cannon Fodder NPC Went Too Far [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 34

Chapter 34

The moon was like a distant silver lantern, emitting a cold yet soft light.

Gu Ao Yu leaned against the wall in the corridor outside the classroom, quietly waiting for Xu Lu Xi inside the classroom.

It wasn’t until all the students in the classroom had left with their backpacks that Xu Lu Xi hurriedly ran out, panting slightly as she stood in front of Gu Ao Yu. She whispered, “Sorry, I lost track of time solving problems and made you wait. I’ll be mindful next time.”

Gu Ao Yu lazily lowered her gaze to look at her. The bright moonlight painted a layer of indifferent halo over her, momentarily washing away the hostility on her.

She smiled, tilted her head, and asked, seemingly confused, “Is it that interesting?”

She had gone out, beat up the delinquents, wandered aimlessly around the campus, played games for several hours, and slowly returned to school, with about ten minutes left until the evening self-study ended.

She had intended to go back to her seat for a nap, but inadvertently caught a glimpse through the old man’s perspective via the window glass.

Xu Lu Xi was sitting at her desk, her back straight, a few wisps of hair dangling near her cheeks. She held a pen, dancing on the paper, in front of a thick book of practice questions. The classroom’s fluorescent light shone on her face, scattering over her densely written notes.

Gu Ao Yu suddenly didn’t want to disturb her.

“It’s not just interesting. It’s that only by studying well can things be interesting later.”

Xu Lu Xi quietly moved a little closer to Gu Ao Yu. Seeing that Gu Ao Yu, with her hands clasped behind her head, was arching her back and heading toward the school gate without any reaction, she lifted a docile smile.

“I want to walk out and see a higher, broader world. I want to stand proudly in the world, relying on myself, without being bullied by anyone. I want to be like you, willful and unrestrained, doing whatever I want. I want…”

She wanted Gu Ao Yu’s eyes to reflect her image.

Gu Ao Yu was silent for a moment. The major villain who tore flesh and bl00d in the original novel intersected with the young girl’s tender, hopeful face in front of her. The bloody and resolute scene was exceptionally cruel. She looked earnestly at Xu Lu Xi’s bright eyes and said softly:

“Being like me is not good. But you will succeed.”

“You can too. Get into a good university, and we can…” We can be together. Before Xu Lu Xi could finish her sentence, she was interrupted impatiently by Gu Ao Yu. She kicked a small stone by the roadside, and the crisp impact instantly shattered the rare moment of tranquility between them.

“I can’t. My life is already set.”

What kind of future does a hooligan have? Even if she gets into university, then what? Will her life be different? In her previous life, she recovered all of her mother’s inheritance and, according to her mother’s last wish, looked at the world for her. She climbed mountains, crossed deserts, saw the aurora… but nothing was truly different.

The only difference now was that she could help Xu Lu Xi succeed before her own demise.

This could be considered a virtuous deed.

Gu Ao Yu quickened her pace, leaving Xu Lu Xi behind. She got into the car first and immediately closed her eyes to rest, refusing to communicate with Xu Lu Xi.

She hadn’t planned on staying in this world for long. After saving the kitten, she thought, if I die, I die. But that little blue ball dragged her into this world.

She felt sorry for the little blue ball, who had to work child labor at such a young age. Since she had nothing else to do, she might as well help it. Helping one person is helping, and helping two is helping. Adding Xu Lu Xi wouldn’t hurt.

“Boss, Gu Ao Yu is here.” On the rooftop, a group of delinquents fanned out. The leading man wore a black leather trench coat, his striking blonde hair particularly dazzling. He leaned his hands on the railing, looking out over the campus.

Hearing his subordinate’s report, he slowly turned around. Gu Ao Yu stood lazily in the center with her hands in her pockets, glancing at him.

This is the male lead in the novel. Gu Ao Yu sneered. He’s not much different from her.

The male lead frowned, looking at the rebellious Gu Ao Yu, whose demeanor was vastly different from her usual respectful appearance.

“What’s with the attitude! Are you looking for a fight?” Seeing the boss’s displeased face, the tall henchman beside the male lead forcefully struck the floor with an iron rod. The tattoos on his arm were faintly visible. As soon as his cruel words fell, all the surrounding delinquents clenched their weapons, staring menacingly at Gu Ao Yu, waiting for the male lead’s command.

The male lead had an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips. He beckoned to his henchman, who respectfully bent down to light it for him. He slowly puffed out a smoke ring. In the midst of the smoke and mist, the male lead slowly waved his hand.

The surrounding delinquents put away their weapons. Gu Ao Yu approached the male lead with an expressionless face, her fists, which were in her pockets, unknowingly clenched tightly.

Putting on airs in front of her? She might just smash his teeth.

Although the original host’s school had many factions, the largest gang was founded by the male lead, and he was connected to the local gang on the streets.

Nominally, all gangs in the school respected the male lead. The original host was under the male lead’s command and had to follow his orders.

“I heard you broke off ties with your subordinates because of your stepsister?” The male lead slowly exhaled a smoke ring and glanced at Gu Ao Yu.

Gu Ao Yu looked at him coldly, without speaking.

The male lead restrained his angry subordinate and gave Gu Ao Yu a charming smile.

“Do something for me. After it’s done, I’ll give you a chance to join us. No one can refuse an offer like that.”

“What is it?” Gu Ao Yu finally reacted slightly, asking sternly.

“There’s a girl named Su Nuo Nuo in Senior Class 3 (6). Give her a lesson. I don’t care how you do it, but I want her to submit and beg me for mercy.”

Gu Ao Yu nodded vaguely at the male lead and turned to leave.

“What good student? She’s not fit to be used to educate me. I have money and power. People like her are born to be trampled under my feet. I don’t even need to make a move. I can just send anyone, and it will be an unforgettable lesson for her.” Behind her, the male lead’s arrogant curses echoed throughout the rooftop.

“Boss is mighty, Boss is domineering, long live the Boss…” The delinquents scrambled to flatter him.

Gu Ao Yu kicked open the iron door of the rooftop. The violent clanging instantly interrupted everyone’s conversation. She didn’t fear the angry stares of the delinquents behind her, swaggered with her hands in her pockets, and walked downstairs leisurely.

What kind of person is he? So much worse than her. She would never be so despicable, base, or bully the weak. He was just hurt because someone compared the female lead to him, and he took out his frustration on the female lead.

And they weren’t wrong. With his turtle-like manner, how could he compare to the female lead in any way? He was a typical example of an upstart.

What right does a person like that have to be the school’s campus tyrant? She was going to take his position as the campus tyrant.

In her previous life, when she was the campus tyrant, no outside gangs dared to intrude or bully her schoolmates under her command.

Extortion, blackmail, fighting—she fought back every time she saw it. With his cowardly ways, he shouldn’t pollute the eyes of the future flowers of the motherland.

“Su Nuo Nuo from Senior Class 3, someone is looking for you.” Gu Ao Yu leaned against the door frame, shouting into the classroom.

“I am Su Nuo Nuo. Can I help you, Junior?”

Su Nuo Nuo glanced at the school ID hanging precariously on Gu Ao Yu’s uniform and smiled gently at her.

Her fair cheeks had a faint pink blush, and her eyes were bright and clear. Her school uniform was slightly faded from washing but was clean and neat. The edges of her shirt were neatly tucked into her pants. Every gesture was pure and innocent.

“Come with me.” Gu Ao Yu glanced at her, put her hands in her pockets, and walked out, not caring if she followed.

Su Nuo Nuo blinked. Perhaps because Gu Ao Yu was a junior, she didn’t put up her guard and foolishly followed her.

They walked to the first floor, and Gu Ao Yu stopped by a door. Su Nuo Nuo was stunned. Isn’t this the restroom? Just as she was about to ask, she felt a rough hand push her inside.

Su Nuo Nuo stumbled a few steps. With a loud clatter, the door closed again. Gu Ao Yu remained lazy and casual, leaning against the door, blocking her way out.

“Junior, why are you…”

“Next time, don’t be so foolish as to follow strangers. You might get sold and not even know it.” Seriously, they’re all so easy to bully. Did Xu Lu Xi follow them like this too?

Hearing Gu Ao Yu’s cold reprimand, Su Nuo Nuo blinked and explained weakly: “But, Junior, you look like a good person.”

She had always been a good judge of character. The junior in front of her, although she looked cold and fierce, had a righteous aura about her. She wouldn’t harm anyone.

Me? A good person? This is the greatest insult to her. A disgrace, absolutely a disgrace.

Gu Ao Yu’s outer eye corners slightly lifted, as if they had been brushed by frost. She snorted, violently turned on the faucet, filled a large bucket with water, and then angrily slammed it down by Su Nuo Nuo’s feet.

“Someone hired me to deal with you. If it wasn’t me who came, this bucket of water would have been poured squarely over you.”

Seeing Su Nuo Nuo’s mouth wide open, looking somewhat frightened, Gu Ao Yu’s mood calmed down slightly.

“You climb out the first-floor window later. Don’t show yourself in public yet. I’ll lure those people here and give them a taste of their own medicine. That will be your revenge. What happens next won’t concern you.”

“Just say you were tricked into coming here and were soaked by water, and you didn’t know anything else. With me taking the heat first, they probably won’t think to trouble you again in the future.”

“Then what about you…”

Before Su Nuo Nuo could finish her sentence, a knocking sound suddenly rang out.

Thump, thump-thump, thump-thump-thump… The rhythm was unhurried but conveyed an unsettling strangeness, like a poisonous snake hidden in the darkness, quietly coiling around one’s heart, flicking its tongue.

Su Nuo Nuo shivered all over, getting goosebumps. Gu Ao Yu frowned. That gang would just smash the door to get in. Who is it?

Judging by the knocking, they wouldn’t stop until the door was opened. Gu Ao Yu hid the wooden bucket, subtly adopted a vigilant posture, and slowly opened the door.

Xu Lu Xi’s docile face appeared before the two of them. Gu Ao Yu subconsciously relaxed her clenched fist, but before she could ask a question, Xu Lu Xi preempted her, blinking her bright eyes and asking curiously: “Ao Yu, what are you doing?”

Her delicate body shifted, moving between them, instantly separating the two.

“I’m doing my usual job: bullying her.” Fearing Xu Lu Xi would get involved again, Gu Ao Yu’s face was grim. Her eyes were narrow and deep, devoid of any warmth. She didn’t look at Xu Lu Xi but kicked the water bucket next to her. The violent impact caused half the water to spill.

Xu Lu Xi’s fair nails dug fiercely into her palm, leaving streaks of bl00d. She pursed her lips, and a layer of mist covered her eyes as she looked at Gu Ao Yu. For a moment, she seemed somewhat aggrieved.

She was clearly her sister. If anyone was to be bullied, it should be her first. Why bully a stranger?
