Volume Two: Those Years When I Was the School Bully
In the Car
During the May Day holiday, normally, third-year high school students wouldn’t get a three-day break. However, due to recent strict inspections from above, Thid High had no choice but to give all students a three-day holiday.
For this reason, the third-year teachers, fearing the students might slack off, prepared many high-quality test papers to distribute.
Zhang Wei, watching the ever-increasing pile of papers, his expression grew more and more twisted. “Nizi1, we’re getting a three-day holiday, right?”
Yan Ni put all her papers away properly. Hearing his question, she nodded, “Mm-hmm, a three-day May Day holiday.”
“Three-day holiday?!” Zhang Wei pointed at the papers on his desk. “With this many papers, I freaking thought we were getting summer vacation.”
Yan Ni counted the papers; for the six subjects, there were a total of 24. Math, Chinese, and English made up the bulk, while Physics, Chemistry, and Biology each had only one or two.
“Stop complaining. Sort out your papers, they’re flying over to my side. Don’t let them get mixed up later.”
Zhang Wei, his heart like dead cinders, messily crumpled the papers into a ball and stuffed them into his desk. “Seriously, we finally get a sports meet, and it turns out to be just marching in a formation. We finally get a three-day holiday, and it turns out papers are flying everywhere. So tragic, ahhhhh….”
Yan Ni couldn’t be bothered with Zhang Wei’s gloom. She turned to look at Song Ci. She had already bound all her papers and was currently helping Zhao Wen Nuan organize hers.
“Song Ci, how are you planning to spend the three-day May Day holiday?”
“How else could I spend it?” Zhang Wei turned around. “Stay home and do papers, duh. There are so many, I won’t even finish them in three days. I want to cry.”
Yan Ni nudged him. “I wasn’t asking you. I was asking Song Ci.”
Song Ci glanced at Wen Nuan, who was playing on her phone. “Probably… at home?”
Yan Ni: “….Oh.”
Zhang Wei knocked on Wen Nuan’s desk. “Zhao-jie, for the three days of May Day, shall we go for an all-nighter at an internet cafe?”
“Not going, I have plans.” Wen Nuan put her phone on the desk.
“What plans?” Zhang Wei asked curiously. “Are you going somewhere fun?”
“Yeah, going to Jingyang City’s2 water park with Ah Ci to have some fun.”
Song Ci was taken aback. “Going to Jingyang?”
“Yeah, to Jingyang. I just booked the tickets. High-speed train tomorrow morning. The hotel and amusement park tickets are all set. We’ll play for two days and come back on the last day to catch up on homework, okay?” Wen Nuan propped her chin on her hand and asked with a smile.
A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Song Ci’s eyes, and she nodded emphatically. “Okay.”
Wen Nuan wasn’t worried about Song Ci’s studies. In the original plot, Song Ci was the top scorer in the science stream of the Gaokao and even had a recommendation for university admission. Besides, appropriate relaxation before the Gaokao helps reduce stress.
As for the papers assigned by the teachers, Song Ci could finish them, while she herself couldn’t be bothered to write them at all.
This was the benefit of a good-for-nothing school bully persona.
Wen Nuan looked at Zhang Wei, who was leaning on her desk with sparkling eyes. “What the hell?”3
“Zhao-jie, please take me!” Zhang Wei pleaded.
Yan Ni also joined in the fun. “Song Ci, Wen Nuan, please take us!”
Wen Nuan: “…..”
Laozi’s4 in a world for two, what the hell are you butting in for?5
But as it turned out, when you’re shameless, you’re invincible in this world.
Wen Nuan sat on the inside, her head tilted as she looked out the window, a look of indifference on her face.
Zhang Wei was tugging Yan Ni, and Yan Ni was pulling Song Ci. The three of them were in the business class cabin, looking left and looking right, like a few noisy sparrows, noisy enough to kill someone.
The high-speed train from Ningjiang City to Jingyang City took three hours. The scenery along the way was very beautiful, passing through vast plains and magnificent mountains. After entering Jingyang City, one could even see the coastline of the distant “Zouhai”6. Thus, this high-speed train route was also known as the “Most Beautiful Scenery Line.”
Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, a soft back pressing against hers. Wen Nuan lifted her eyelids and said irritably, “Why aren’t you playing anymore?”
“Angry?” Song Ci tilted her head, looking at Wen Nuan’s stern face. “I’m not playing anymore. I came over to accompany my girlfriend.”
“Heh, I see the three of you are having a grand time, huh?” Wen Nuan, as if throwing a tantrum, removed Song Ci’s hands that were hugging her. “Go on, keep playing!”
Seeing her like this, Song Ci’s lips curved up slightly. “No, it wasn’t fun at all. Those two went to the dining car to buy food.”
She hugged Wen Nuan, turned her around, and kissed her. “Don’t be angry, okay?”
Wen Nuan sighed. “Who asked you to agree to them coming?”
She had originally refused them one by one, but who knew Song Ci would agree to their request.
Song Ci, held in her embrace, said, “They’re both pretty good. It’s nice for everyone to hang out and relax together.”
Wen Nuan stroked her hair, knowing what Song Ci meant by “good.”
When others bullied Song Ci, Yan Ni and Zhang Wei had both helped out to some extent. Although it was to no avail, even small acts of kindness were sincere.
“Fine, as long as you’re happy.” Wen Nuan’s brow twitched. “Happy is happy, but get your hands off me.”
Song Ci didn’t remove them. She tilted her head up and kissed Wen Nuan’s chin. “You said you liked it when I take the initiative.”
“So?” Wen Nuan tilted her head, deliberately preventing Song Ci from kissing her lips.
“I want to kiss you.” Song Ci’s small, mournful eyes stared straight at Wen Nuan.
She wouldn’t let her kiss; she was dodging her kisses.
Wen Nuan lowered her head and was bitten squarely by Song Ci. “Hiss… bite lighter. How many times have you bitten me and Zhang Wei saw it? What? Are you used to it now?”
Song Ci mumbled, “His brain is slow, he wouldn’t think of that.”
“Oh?” Wen Nuan’s tone rose.
She raised her hand and pressed Song Ci into the crook of her shoulder, looking at the two dazed people in front of them, and smiled helplessly. “I don’t want to eat rice. Are there still noodles in the dining car?”
Yan Ni was the first to snap back to reality, quickly saying, “Yes, yes, yes…”
Song Ci’s body stiffened. Buried in Wen Nuan’s embrace, she didn’t dare lift her head, her whole person flushed crimson.
Wen Nuan smiled. “Then buy me a portion of fried noodles.”
“Okay, okay,” Yan Ni pulled Zhang Wei, who was still in a daze. “Don’t, don’t look, let’s go.”
Wen Nuan lowered her head, looked at the flushed Song Ci, and chuckled softly. “They’re gone, you can look up. Don’t suffocate yourself.”
Song Ci peeked; Zhang Wei and Yan Ni had indeed left.
She lifted her head, her embarrassed eyes welling with tears. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier they were back?”
“I only just saw them come back,” Wen Nuan tapped her eyes. “Besides, someone was constantly biting my lips. If I can’t open my mouth, I can’t speak, can I?”
Song Ci pursed her lips and sighed. “Sigh.”
Hearing her sigh, Wen Nuan was puzzled. “What? You don’t want to go public?”
This girl doesn’t still think of herself as some kind of substitute lover, does she?!
Song Ci shook her head. “No, I can’t wait to go public with you, to let everyone know you’re mine.”
“Then why are you sighing?” Wen Nuan asked, confused.
“I was actually quite enjoying having a secret relationship with you. It felt exciting and tense. But now Zhang Wei and Yan Ni know, so we’ve lost our fun,” Song Ci said mournfully.
Wen Nuan: “……”
The System sighed: 【The female lead really plays wild, huh.】
“You like playing exciting and tense games, is that it?” Wen Nuan’s eyes deepened, her fingertips tracing Song Ci’s soft lips.
Song Ci bit her fingertip, her limpid eyes7 captivating. She murmured, “I only like playing with you.”
Zhang Wei and Yan Ni returned with two more portions of fried noodles. The seats were empty.
The two looked at each other, each finding a desperate will to survive in the other’s eyes. Then, very tactfully, neither said a word, silently eating their food and waiting for the other two to return.
Ten minutes before the high-speed train arrived at the station, Wen Nuan and Song Ci finally came back.
Yan Ni noticed that Song Ci was walking a bit strangely, as if lacking strength, while Wen Nuan exuded a strange… flirty aura?!
Yan Ni looked at the noodles that had gone lumpy and asked cautiously, “Wen Nuan, you… where did you two go?”
A corner of Wen Nuan’s mouth hooked up. “Went to the toilet for a bit.”
Yan Ni laughed dryly. “Hahahaha….”
This trip to the toilet took over an hour. Luckily, there weren’t many people in the business class cabin, and there were toilets at both ends; otherwise, they would have been complained about long ago.
Zhang Wei asked, puzzled, “You were in the toilet for over an hour? Zhao-jie, are you constipated?”
Wen Nuan: “……”
Yan Ni stomped hard on Zhang Wei’s foot and said through gritted teeth, “Shut your dog mouth.”
Zhang Wei saw Wen Nuan’s face darken and awkwardly shut his mouth.
But he still wondered, just going to the toilet, how could it take over an hour?
Wouldn’t squatting make your legs tired?
Could it be that Song Ci was constipated, and Wen Nuan was just accompanying her to the toilet?
After all, just now Song Ci seemed a bit weak in the legs, unable to walk properly.
The high-speed train arrived at the station. Four people, three backpacks. Zhang Wei carried two, while Yan Ni took her own schoolbag and went to queue up to get off first.
Wen Nuan rubbed Song Ci’s lower back. “What, tired already? Still want to play in the future?”
Song Ci let out a whimper. “…Play, as long as it’s with you.” She kissed Wen Nuan’s lower lip. “I’ll play with you even if it costs me my life.”
Although there were several times just now when she was almost driven to collapse, she still couldn’t bear to be without Wen Nuan’s touch.
Wen Nuan nodded with great solemnity. “Alright, Ah Ci, keep it up. You didn’t cry this time, but next time might not be a guarantee, though.”
Song Ci’s eyelids trembled. “…Then can we change… positions?”
Her waist had almost broken just now.
Wen Nuan smiled gently, raising her hand to touch Song Ci’s reddened eyes. “Change, we can change to anything.”
As the four of them exited the high-speed train station, Wen Nuan directly rented a Mercedes-Benz from a rental shop next to the station.
Zhang Wei was surprised. “Zhao-jie, you have a driver’s license?”
“I do,” Wen Nuan had gotten her license in her first year of high school. “Get in, we’re going to the hotel.”
They got into the car and watched Wen Nuan drive with great skill, each of them astonished.
Yan Ni said excitedly, “Wen Nuan, you’re so good at driving!”
“After the Gaokao is over, you should all go get one. Learning to drive is still useful,” Wen Nuan glanced at the map and turned right. “Buy a car, and it’ll be convenient whether you’re traveling or just going out for fun.”
Zhang Wei nodded. “Indeed, I was already planning to get my driver’s license after the Gaokao. My dad promised to buy me a small jeep to drive.”
“Then I’ll go learn too,” Yan Ni looked at Zhang Wei. “Have you found a driving school yet?”
“Found one, the one in the city center. The teaching quality is pretty good. My dad knows the head of the driving school. If you want to sign up, I’ll tell my dad.”
Yan Ni nodded. “Mm-hmm, count me in. It’s faster to learn with a companion.”
“Alright,” Zhang Wei patted the seat in front of him. “Song Ci, are you learning to drive? Why don’t the three of us learn together?”
Just as Song Ci was about to agree, she heard Wen Nuan say, “She doesn’t need to sign up for a driving school.”
Zhang Wei was puzzled. “Why? Don’t tell me Song Ci, you already know how to drive?”
Song Ci shook her head. “I don’t.”
Wen Nuan looked at the red light ahead and stepped on the brake. “Am I dead or something? With me around, does Ah Ci still need to go out and learn to drive?”
Zhang Wei: “…..”
He just had to ask.
Song Ci was pleasantly surprised. “You’re going to teach me how to drive, right?”
“…..” The way she said that, Wen Nuan tried her best to keep her thoughts from straying. “Mm-hmm, it’s good for girls to learn how to drive, much more convenient.”
“Mm-hmm, I’ll learn,” Song Ci said obediently. “Then if I learn quickly, will there be a reward?”
Wen Nuan freed a hand to stroke Song Ci’s face. “What do you want?”
Song Ci glanced at the two people playing on their phones in the back seat, loosened the seatbelt across her chest, leaned close to Wen Nuan’s ear, and whispered, “For a reward…”
“I want to play with you in the car…”
Wen Nuan lost control of her strength and slammed on the brakes, stopping by the roadside.
Song Ci fell directly into Wen Nuan’s arms, while Yan Ni and Zhang Wei crashed into the seats in front of them, grimacing.
Zhang Wei rubbed his forehead, not understanding. “Wha-what’s wrong?”
Yan Ni looked outside the car; there were no other cars, no passersby. “Did… did a small animal run past?”
Wen Nuan took a deep breath. “You two get out and wait for a moment. I have some things to discuss with Song Ci alone.”
Seeing that Wen Nuan’s expression was off, the two didn’t dare ask any more questions. They quickly got out of the car and stood obediently by the roadside.
The car windows were tinted, so they could only judge the state of the two people inside by the degree to which the car was shaking.
Zhang Wei, seeing the car shaking quite violently, said worriedly, “Those two aren’t fighting, are they?”
Yan Ni’s expression was somewhat strange. “….Possibly.”
“Then wouldn’t Song Ci be completely dominated by Zhao-jie?”
A subtle blush appeared on Yan Ni’s face. “….Perhaps.”
“Then should we try to break up the fight?”
Yan Ni immediately shook her head, saying seriously, “Don’t. It’s easy to get caught in the crossfire.”8
“What does that mean?” Zhang Wei didn’t understand.
Yan Ni’s gaze was earnest. “You’ll die.”
Zhang Wei: “……”
