Chapter 4: The irresistible charm of "younger brother" 2
"You, what are you doing... Hush! Hush! Go away!" I stepped back, waving my hands like I was chasing ducks. Because I had been living under oppression for a long time, I had already developed a certain degree of vigilance. When Yu Muchen approached me with that incomparable smile, it was definitely not a good thing! This little devil must be planning something to make me unlucky.
"Hey, don't be so formal, I'm your boyfriend - friend - oh -" He deliberately dragged out the last syllable and laughed in a way that gave me the creeps.
"Question: What should boyfriends and girlfriends do?" The sudden question startled me. While I was stunned, Yu Muchen took my hand in a lightning speed.
"Ahhh!" I screamed, waving my right hand. It's over! It's over! He didn't want to chop off my right hand!
"Hey! Be quiet!" Yu Muchen covered my mouth with his other hand, but my sporadic screams still leaked out from between his fingers. It's not for anything else, I just feel terrible, the more gentle Yu Muchen is to me, the more miserable my death will be later... Helping me tie my shoelaces is not comparable to holding hands.
"If you don't keep quiet, I'll kiss you..." Yu Muchen threw out a huge killer move. The moment I heard this, I became quiet.
"That's how you behave! Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'm just happy to have my servant back." Yu Muchen was really happy. His star-like eyes were filled with uncontrollable smiles, and they were sparkling with colorful light under the setting sun, as if he was a god in the sky.
"What on earth do you want to do... I'm already very unlucky and in great pain, please don't torture me." Looking at his happiness, I was like a lamb on the chopping board, with a sad face.
"Didn't I tell you that I'm just very happy. Besides, I've just re-examined the relationship between us. Although here, you are my servant, in everyone's eyes, you and I are lovers. What else do lovers need to do?" After a slight pause, Yu Muchen looked at me and blinked. His long and thick eyelashes seemed to tickle my heart directly, making my whole body itchy and my cheeks slightly red.
"What do you want to do?" Under the temptation of such a handsome man, I asked fearlessly.
"Idiot!" He poked my forehead, "Have you never been in love?" His tone was full of contempt.
I was too lazy to answer his question. Is it shameful to have never been in a relationship? Why should I expose my past privacy to him? What does it have to do with you?
"Forget it. I can tell at a glance that you've never been in love. So-called love, of course, requires two people to be inseparable and affectionate. Although we are a fake couple, I am still a very responsible person..." As he said that, Yu Muchen glanced at me.
You are kidding! What do you mean by being always by my side? You just want to have servants to serve you all the time! What do you mean by being responsible? You just want to bully others!
"So I decided to go through with the show! From now on, let's walk around the academy hand in hand." Having said that, Yu Muchen took a step forward without any doubt, tightened his warm palm, and completely embraced my hand.
"Ah?" I was extremely shocked... Was he going to issue me some kind of death warrant? Let all the students in the school know that I was really his girlfriend, so that those who didn't know me well enough before would hate me even more?
"Let's go, don't stay here!" Although I really wanted to take my hand back, Yu Muchen held it too tightly and basically dragged me along to start our "Death Campus Journey".
The first stop was of course the nearby gymnasium. I was bathed in the hateful gazes of the cheerleaders, as if my whole body was being pricked by needles. I even heard Xu Yasha's jealous and angry roars, and her vow to kill me in the future.
The second stop was the teaching building. It was really beautiful... Some students who were taking extra classes and studying on their own were sticking their heads out of the windows of the teaching building to look at us, and even the teachers. I really wanted to die, but a mysterious throbbing slowly emerged in my heart. From the initial blushing face, to the throbbing of my heart like a deer, and now it seems to have finally calmed down, I felt a kind of strange tenderness and warmth. That warmth did not come from somewhere else, but from Yu Muchen's dry palm.
I suddenly felt that he was not just pretending to be nice to me. He held my hand and smiled as he walked through every corner of the school, as if he was very proud. For a few seconds, I actually imagined that he really loved me...
From the grove to the "Lover's Hill" popular among students, from the laboratory building to the legendary "Confession Tree", he really did not miss any corner and took me on a long journey.
The last stop was none other than the football team. When the players saw the ace player coming, they all gathered around him. I had never been watched so closely by people before, and the masculine aura of a dozen strong boys surrounded me all at once.
"Senior, who is this, who is this?" The person who spoke seemed to be Yu Muchen's junior.
"Hey, Muchen, you seldom bring girls here? Do you want to introduce them to us?" another senior student continued.
"Ah? Could it be the new manager of the football team? Ah, so cute, cute girls are really the best!" Everyone was talking about it.
"Well... isn't this the girl whose back you kicked that day, senior?" The one who asked the question was the boy named Mai Xin. Every time he saw Yu Muchen, he would come up to him like a loyal dog, wagging his tail. He was a bit like Gao Yutian.
Yu Muchen smiled slightly and immediately pulled me into his arms.
"Yu, Yu Muchen, what are you doing?" I protested in a low voice, my face flushed with shame, and I struggled out of his arms.
"Ohhh! Senior's hug offensive!"
"Senior Yu can actually hug a girl! He can't even hug me!" The players were shocked again by Yu Muchen's behavior and were outraged.
"Mai Xin is right." Yu Muchen didn't mind and continued to hold my hand. "This is the girl who was sweeping the floor beside the stadium that day and was kicked by me." After a pause, he looked around.
"But I want to tell you that her name is Ding Xiaoxiao, and she is a freshman this year...and, she is my girlfriend!" After saying this in one breath, Yu Muchen stopped.
"Ah! Then, why did the senior kick his girlfriend that day..." Mai Xin asked stupidly.
"Uh... this is, um, a special little love game between us!" Yu Muchen is truly the number one liar in the universe. He can even cover up such a lie that would hurt a young girl.
"A unique little love game!" another team member laughed, "I didn't realize that you, Muchen, have such a romantic side." He poked Yu Muchen with his arm.
That's nonsense. He is not romantic at all. How can hitting a girl on the back with a ball be romantic? Are you guys who play football all about football? How can you not understand common sense and logic? I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
"Haha, that's it. Everyone, please be careful of my girlfriend when you see her in the future. If she has any difficulties, please help her!" Yu Muchen laughed casually.
"Of course, you'll leave your girlfriend to us!" What should we leave to you?
"Don't worry, I will definitely help!"
Just don't make trouble!
"But the relationship between my senior and his girlfriend is really sweet! I'm so envious, I also want to find a girlfriend like that." It was Mai Xin who made the stupid remark. I was despairing of the brains of the football club members. I once again experienced the feeling of a dumb person eating coptis chinensis and being unable to express the bitterness.
Looking at the bright smiles on these big guys' faces, I really wanted to turn around and leave.
Yu Muchen felt great, but my disaster seemed to have become even worse.
He held my hand in front of all the cheerleaders, and I was basically doomed.
"Isn't this Ding Xiaoxiao, the girlfriend of campus idol and handsome boy Yu Muchen ?" The next morning, before I even stepped into the gymnasium, I felt the world's malice from the first greeting.
"Uh... Good morning, senior." Of course I couldn't say back, so I could only smile and say good morning.
"Pfft, it's still early? We're all here, and you're a first-year student and you're here so late. It seems that our temple is too small and your status is too high, so you look down on us." This curly-haired senior student is usually Xu Yasha's right-hand man, and she probably disliked me for a long time.
"You come so late, don't you want to continue in the cheerleading team?" When Xu Yasha walked past me, she snorted coldly with her proud nose, her eyes rolled in her big sockets, and she gave me a huge eye roll.
"No, no, sorry, I'll go change into my gym clothes now." I hurriedly fled from her and found my own locker.
But to my surprise, my gym clothes were not in the closet.
"Hey...hey? Where is my gymnastics suit? Have you seen my clothes?" I grabbed the girl next to me and asked.
"No, it's your fault for not putting it away yourself." The girl pulled back her hand in a cold tone, turned her head and walked out the door.
"How, how could this happen? I clearly put it away every day?" No matter how I thought about it, there was no way my gym clothes would disappear from the closet.
"You don't even have a gymnastics uniform, what do you want to do in the cheerleading team? That's ridiculous!" Xu Yasha covered her bright red lips and smiled as cold as ice and snow.
"Ahaha, maybe the gymnastics uniform doesn't want to wear you because you dance so badly, so it ran into the trash can!" The curly-haired senior also let out a creepy laugh.
I rushed to the trash can, and sure enough, my once clean white gymnastics suit was lying there. Now, not only was it stained with the smell of trash, but it also had many marks left on it with lipstick.
"You, you guys...how could you do this!" I was so angry that I almost trembled and I felt my upper and lower teeth chattering.
"Don't accuse others without any evidence. Did you see us do it? Which eye saw it?" The curly-haired senior looked at me aggressively.
"I..." I bit my lower lip and ended up saying nothing.
Here, I have no qualifications or rights to speak. Even if I am bullied or have my teeth knocked out, I can only swallow it.
Some of the cheerleaders next to me watched coldly, while others looked at me with pity. I lowered my head and rushed out of the locker room, but I couldn't stop crying.
What should I do to make the players here accept me? Just when I was at my wits' end and heartbroken, I suddenly remembered -
That's right! Maybe there is a way. I still have friends, and I still have Wei Tingyi, my only friend in Shengxi College, right? As the president of the student union, he must be very good at mediating disputes. He should be able to help me!
Thinking of this, I immediately threw away my training clothes, wiped my hands dry on my body, and picked up the phone:
"Hello, is this Wei Tingyi?" I exchanged phone numbers with Wei Tingyi the night he helped me clean the playground. It's not that I thought I would ask him for help one day, but because we had become good friends.
"Yes, I am. Xiaoxiao, what do you want to talk to me about?" Wei Tingyi's voice always makes me feel at ease.
"Uh, are you busy now? Is it convenient for you to answer my call?" The student union president's life should be busier than mine on weekdays, and it would be bad to disturb him.
"It's okay...what's wrong?" Wei Tingyi paused, probably a little surprised that I would call him.
"Actually, it's like this... I have a little trouble here. I wonder if you have time to help me think of a solution or solve it..." In fact, I was not sure whether the problem could be solved, and the student union president was not an omniscient and omnipotent God.
"What's the matter? Tell me, I will help you if I can." Wei Tingyi's tone was so gentle that it healed my hurt heart.
"Well, the thing is, it's like this... You know, Yu Muchen and I are lovers..." My cheeks were hot and I said something that didn't mean it, "But now the captain of the cheerleading team, Xu Yasha, also likes Yu Muchen, so she is targeting me and leading the cheerleaders to bully me. I can't train well... I wonder if you have any way to let me continue to train with peace of mind? I swear, I really want to make some achievements in the cheerleading team!" I didn't care about anything else and threw my problem to Wei Tingyi in one breath.
"Uh... I see..." Wei Tingyi pondered for a moment, as if thinking, "It's not that it can't be solved. There is only one way..." He deliberately kept the suspense.
"What? What method? Tell me!" I was impatient and kept urging.
"I can't tell you now. Come to the practice room with me tomorrow, and I will naturally find a way to help you!" Wei Tingyi seemed to laugh softly on the other end of the phone.
Humph, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. As long as it can help me get out of my current predicament, anything is fine. Then Wei Tingyi and I made an appointment to go to the cheerleading training room together tomorrow afternoon.
The next day, the classes were finally over. When the bell rang, Wei Tingyi was already waiting for me downstairs in the teaching building.
We walked side by side all the way to the gymnasium.
As soon as Wei Tingyi and I appeared, the gymnasium erupted with huge cheers from the girls. Of course, that cheer was not for me, but all because of Wei Tingyi.
"President Wei! How come you have time to come here?"
"President Wei, can you teach me how to do the questions next time?"
"Senior Wei, please be sure to come and watch the next cheerleading game!" In an instant, the girls surrounded Wei Tingyi and me.
Wei Tingyi was also very cooperative. He was totally different from Yu Muchen who ignored people. He looked like an excellent student, but after taking off his glasses, he looked like a cute little boy. He shuttled between the "big sisters" in the cheerleading team, massaging the shoulders of one sister, feeding snacks to another sister, and was very intimate with the sisters, dragging out his nasal voice and acting coquettish, making the cheerleaders laugh happily... I couldn't believe it. He was a complete public enemy of women! He was completely different from the student union president who spoke to me gently and looked very serious.
While playing with these older sisters, Wei Tingyi helped me build relationships with them: "Ding Xiaoxiao is a very good friend of mine. We have a long-standing friendship. I hope everyone will take care of her and teach her more things." As he said that, he pulled me to the group of girls and asked me to communicate more with everyone.
"Oh, so that's it. Since you're Xiao Tingyi's friend, I will definitely take care of you in the future." A member of the cheerleading team took my hand with a smile, looking like a pair of good sisters... Who knows if she had drawn a line on my locker before?
"Yeah, the atmosphere in the cheerleading team is still very good. After all, we are all girls of similar age, and we always love each other!" Another team member ignored Xu Yasha's angry eyes and put her arm around my shoulder affectionately.
I can't help but sigh, beauty can make the devil work, and it is true that beauty is preferred to friendship!
Soon, those girls who had been cold to me before were getting along with me like honey, which made me feel sick. In terms of helping me solve the problem, Wei Tingyi was really successful! Except for Xu Yasha, the other cheerleaders were no longer cold to me, and they were even too nice!
"Ah, Ding Xiaoxiao and I have some things to do today. I'll come and play next time!" Wei Tingyi put on his glasses again, winked at me, and took me out of the gymnasium.
"What do you think of this effect?" He returned to his usual gentle voice.
"That's amazing! You turned out to be a cute little boy, I didn't even realize it!" I stood on tiptoe, smiled and touched his head, "I wish I had a brother like you!"
But, he is obviously my senior! Now I am a little confused.
