Chapter 46: The young lady loves to meddle the most

~8 min read 1,462 words

She didn't slow down until she reached the elevator at the end of the hallway, glanced back to see no one was following, then pressed the button for the first floor.

Seeing the girl also enter the elevator, she released her grip and stretched her arm.

I didn't expect those guys to be so useless; she'd only been studying judo for less than a year.

But… it's been almost a semester since she last threw a punch, and she really felt an itch to fight!

Thanks to the older girls for letting her stretch her muscles!

The girl being held gasped softly, her glasses slipping down to the tip of her nose.

She pushed her hand up, her eyes still red when she lifted her head, and sincerely said, "Thank you, classmate… I'm Mo Song, the 'Song' from 'praise,' and I'm in Class 1 of Grade 10."

"What a cute name."

Mu Youyu couldn't resist lightly touching her face, thinking of something, she smiled and asked, "You don't know me?"

By rights, her photo should have spread all through Blue Forest.

Oh, I forgot that A-nan would delete it.

No, there should still be one left.

Mo Song let out an "ah," head lowered, "Yeah… sorry…"

As she spoke, she bowed, "Thank you! You're the one who saved me, from now on…"

Mu Youyu clicked her tongue, cutting her off: "You don't have to work yourself to the bone for me."

Mo Song straightened up, her hands nervously clutching her backpack.

Seeing this, Mu Youyu softened her tone: "I'm Mu Youyu, Class A of Grade 10."

You've probably heard my name before.

Upon hearing "Class A," Mo Song instinctively bit her lower lip and lowered her head even further.

"I remember, I—I didn't try to seduce School Grass Gu just now; I accidentally bumped into him!"

By the end, her voice rose, filled with excitement.

Well, I've never even heard that name before.

No wonder she makes Yue Yue angry with that attitude.

Mu Youyu could also see that Yue Yue likes to scold anyone who talks back, but only if their retort is something she can actually scold them for.

Plus, at that time a girl said Mo Song's mother works as a maid in Yue Yue's household.

Look, that's the kind of character setup.

How pitiful.

Mu Youyu didn't dwell on it further, saying, "I didn't even mention you—why are you explaining?"

At that moment, the elevator had reached the first floor; Mu Youyu called out "Mo Song," and only then did she step out, saying, "I thought you were in Class A…"

This little girl was afraid she'd misunderstand.

Mu Youyu couldn't understand why someone would be so timid, and moreover…

"What's wrong with Class A?"

Mo Song stammered, "We're in the same class as School Grass Gu…"

She is a student in Class 1 of Grade 10; at the start of the semester, when classes were divided, she had been placed in Class A…

However, Yue Yue was jealous that she got too close to Gu Xingnan, so she pulled some strings, and Mo Song only stayed in Class A for a month.

Afterward, she kept her scores low on exams, afraid to score high enough to get back into Class A.

Recalling what Yue Yue had just said, Mu Youyu snorted, "Because you bumped into A-nan, Yue Yue is targeting you?"

Mo Song noticed her way of addressing her, but didn't dare ask, just nodding.

She tightened her grip on the backpack strap, unconsciously glanced at her, and said in a dazed voice: "…Yue Yue said before that if I dare get close to School Grass Gu again, she'll make it so my mother can't stay at her house."

Mu Youyu's steps halted; she turned her head to look at her.

The girl's bangs were a little messy from the wind, her glasses reflecting light, hiding most of the panic in her eyes.

"She's using your mother's job as leverage against you?" Mu Youyu's tone turned colder.

Although she had already figured it out from what she heard and saw, hearing Mo Song admit it herself was another matter.

Mo Song nodded again, quickly adding: "My mom said it's fine, told me not to confront her… but I really didn't do anything wrong!"

By the end, her voice took on a nasal quality, though she didn't shed tears.

Looking at the girl, who was clearly wronged but putting on a brave front, Mu Youyu suddenly remembered when she first transferred to Saint Luo.

Back then, people often gossiped behind her back about her family background.

Once, when someone said it to her face, she simply threw her bag at their face, shutting them up and firing back.

She didn't get into a fight because she didn't want to trouble her brother… nor did she want to run into trouble and have to go back to C City so soon.

However, she was quite fortunate to have met her good friends Liu Wanwan and Feng Cen.

They didn't cause her brother any trouble.

Meanwhile, Mo Song lacked the background Mu Youyu had, had no friends to back her up, and lacked the courage to stand up to Yue Yue… so she remained a constant target of bullying.

She reached out, gently tucking the wind-tousled bangs behind Mo Song's ear—a rare gentle gesture—and said, "You didn't do anything wrong; she's the one at fault."

Mo Song blinked, seeing through her glasses that Mu Youyu's hair was dark brown, each strand wrapped in a soft glow, not shiny.

A few strands of dark brown hair lightly fell at her cheeks, adding a touch of laziness.

Her profile was sharp, makeup-free, and as she looked at Mo Song, a softness spread across her brows and eyes—completely lacking the haughty air she'd shown earlier.

Mo Song felt like she was falling in.

At that moment, she lifted her chin at Mo Song and said, "It's fine; from now on, I, Miss, will protect you! If anything else comes up, feel free to find me at the downstairs of your Class 1 building in Class A."

Her tone was dismissive, and Mo Song knew she was saying that to Yue Yue and her crowd.

Mo Song stared blankly at this angel who had descended from the sky to rescue her and then promised to protect her.

Her eye sockets suddenly turned red again; she had no father, her only relative was her mother.

Her mother became a maid for the Leng family when she was in her third year of junior high; at that time she still transferred schools to be in the same school as Leng Yueyue……

It wasn't voluntary on her part; it was Leng Yueyue who demanded it.

Leng Yueyue is the Fourth Miss of the Leng family, the illegitimate daughter of the Leng family head and his white moonlight…… She is extremely pampered.

The Leng family currently has three misses and one young master.

The Leng family eldest miss had helped her before, but later, after she quarreled with the fourth miss, the Leng family head confined the eldest miss for a few days……

Afterwards, the eldest miss no longer lived in the Leng family.

The second miss went abroad.

The third young master loves to watch the excitement.

And the mother she relied on most had told her from childhood the most frequent words: "Don't make the fourth miss angry!"

When Leng Yueyue played a prank on her, her mother said: "The fourth miss grew up in a wealthy family from childhood; she has no ill intentions!"

When Leng Yueyue doused her with toilet water at school, she returned home amid everyone's strange looks to complain to her mother.

Her mother said: "The fourth miss is just playing with you; you really are, how did you get so dirty! I just mopped the floor……"

She couldn't remember how many times it had happened; later she didn't dare to complain, and became accustomed to treating her own wounds.

She remembered that once Leng Yueyue beat her black and blue, her mother actually got angry.

"Little Song, did you anger the fourth miss again? She's going to deduct my wages……"

But it wasn't because of her.

This was, the first time a stranger helped her.

Mo Song's tears were still held back, after all she had already shed them once just now.

She merely gave an ugly smile of "wanting to cry but unable to" as she looked at the angel before her.

The angel thought she was afraid of trouble, laughed again, and said, "This miss loves to meddle in other people's affairs the most!"

Mo Song's tears finally could not be held back, streaming straight down her cheeks.
