Chacha fell silent.

As a person whose biggest reason for watching anime was to indulge on listening to various excellent voice actors that made people unable to close their legs, when she heard Jiao Yushi’s voice, her favorable impression of him skyrocketed.

No wonder he’s still popular even though he always has a cold face and a terrible personality.

The plastic sister duo also halted.

When she saw Jiao Yushi, Yao Yiyi felt unwell. Did Jiao Nanshen hear everything she said? That would be too embarrassing.

Lu Ruoruo immediately lowered her head and suppressed the smugness in her heart.

She was the only one who didn’t say anything just now. If Jiao Nanshen asked, she could say that she was just forced into it and pretend to be pitiful.

Ning An, who heard the noise outside, went out to check what was happening and saw the school flower and the school grass at loggerheads. She silently stood by the door and watched.

She wasn’t being nosy. She stayed because she heard Jiao Yushi’s words and knew that he was helping her out.

“What business is it of yours?” Chacha raised her chin and looked at Jiao Yushi provocatively.

Saying so, she jerked her hand away. However, she failed to pull it out and instead made Jiao Yushi increase the strength of his hold. “Of course it’s none of my business. But as a normal person, isn’t it natural to help a schoolmate when you see them being bullied?”

Tch, how long had he been standing there listening in the corner? Now he’s saying he wanted to help? Why didn’t he go in and help from the beginning? Was he embarrassed because there were only girls in the classroom? What a load of crap.

Chacha scolded him inwardly. At the same time, she felt a slight pain on her wrist which made her a bit scared.

It’s not her fault.

There were only two things in Jiao Yushi’s world—— Interesting things and uninteresting things.

Like most fictional male protagonists, he had a tragic childhood that resulted in some defects in his personality.

He was extremely cold and ruthless. In the early stage, he treated everyone the same, but later on, he was only kind to the female protagonist.

His mother was a beautiful woman with great ambition. However, her family background was average. After falling in love with his father, she devised a plan to sleep with his father once. After getting successfully pregnant, she secretly gave birth to the child without telling anyone about it. When Jiao Yushi was three years old, she ran to his father and told him about his existence.

But his father didn’t take his mother and him seriously at all and drove them away.

He was just a tool used by his mother to gain a privileged life. When the tool lost its use value, he also lost the already rare maternal love he received. His mother believed that her failures were all his fault, that his existence ruined her life and caused her to lose the chance to marry someone else, thus he was often beaten and scolded.

He couldn’t cry, laugh, speak, or make any expressions, otherwise he would be locked up in a closet and be alone in the narrow darkness.

He was too young at that time to resist the inevitable abuse from his mother.

As a result, he became unable to express his sadness through language or facial expressions.

When he was seven years old, he was abducted by human traffickers when he went out to rummage through trash cans because he was too hungry, and was sold to a remote mountain village. When he was young, he even sadly thought that being trafficked wasn’t that bad.

However, rural people had no idea that children could have psychological illnesses. They think that a child that was always silent and couldn’t cry or laugh was automatically mentally disabled. The family who bought him felt like they had lost money and hated him for it. They would thrash and curse at him every day. Neighbors thought he had a loose screw and often made fun of him with some despicable words. They would push him into a ditch, throw firecrackers at his feet and fling garbage at him.

He couldn’t fight them back, otherwise the people who bought him and the parents of the kids who bullied him would come together to scold and beat him.

They think of him as a fool. The people who bought him already felt that they had lost money and now he was also causing trouble, thus they couldn’t let out their anger without beating him.

After he understood this, if anyone bullied him, he would hide away and try to avoid it as much as possible.

He lacked the ability to express emotions and was beyond the maturity of children of his age. His psychology was also a bit distorted. Sometimes the words he speaks could make people feel scared. Combined with his indifferent expression, he doesn’t appear like a child.

As a result, everyone in the village thought he might be some kind of monster. They bullied him, avoided him, or called him ‘fool’ or ‘lunatic’ from afar.

Gradually, even his sadness grew faint.

When he was eleven years old, his father was diagnosed with a physical problem and might not be able to have offspring. His father then thought of him, and after many years, spent countless manpower and resources to find him.

At that time, his dying heart suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, feeling that someone would also love him and was happy for his existence. After all, he couldn’t remember much of what happened when he was three years old, so he didn’t know that his father had once rejected him.

When he arrived at the spacious and magnificent mansion, he saw his father and grandparents. But before they could exchange words, he heard them smiling while saying, “We found him. Good, good, good, our family has an heir now.”

Despite being young, he still discerned a kind of cold detachment from it.

He figured he was only brought back because they needed an heir.

He couldn’t even muster up sadness anymore.

After that, he met his mother several times. Her attitude towards him was much better. Her eyes were shining but his heart was cold.

His family was strict with him but there was no love involved.

When reading the novel, Chacha felt that someone like Jiao Yushi could never fall in love with anyone. The emotional part of his humanity had long been reduced to ashes in his childhood.

Now he was just a creature wearing human skin and pretending to be a human being.

Although he once’ like’ Chen Cha and later on became a couple with Ning An, his feeling was above appreciation and below love.

He doted on Ning An and responded to her every request, to the extent that Chacha believed that if the female protagonist suddenly says, ‘Let’s go murder someone for fun’, he would come up with a detailed plan the next day.

However, this kind indulgence and pampering was superficial, motivated only by his shallow and feeble interest.

Chacha never intended to mess with this kind of crazy person from the very beginning.

Who knows if he’d break into her house in the middle of the night and strangle her in her bed on a whim just to see what face she’d make before she died?

But if she wimp out now, how would she lead her underlings to become the school overlord and embark to the pinnacle of bullying the female protagonist in the future?

Besides, she’s all alone. If she died, then she died. No one would grieve for her nor would it let anyone down.

Only those who were free of attachment could truly be fearless.

Besides, she probably wouldn’t completely die as time would rewind.

If that really happened, she would also experience the feeling of dying. She would like to ask, was there another human being that could die and still be alive after multiple times? In this world, only she had this ‘special honor’.

“Haha.” Chacha sneered. “Student Ning An is often bullied by others, how come I didn’t see you coming to help her?”

“I didn’t see them doing it, did I?” Although very faint, Jiao Yushi had a look on his face that seem to say ‘I don’t want to do this either’.

Chacha: “……”

Ning An was astonished.

She was often surrounded and mocked by people. Jiao Yushi would occasionally encounter them on the act but he would just pass by as if he had seen nothing. At this moment, he actually said he had never seen her getting bullied???

How could a person be this shameless?

But she knew that Jiao Yushi was actually helping her this time, so she didn’t exposed him.

Chacha asked, “Then what do you want?”

“Return the money to Ning An.” Jiao Yushi said indifferently.

Chacha had completed her mission and it’s useless to keep this little money. It’s a burden so it was a good choice to give it back to Ning An. As for whether Jiao Yushi would treat Ning An to a meal to increase their relationship or not, it was none of her business since she’s done with her own plot line.

It’s the perfect time to test whether the plot must follow the novel to a tee, or if she just had to complete her own plot line.

However, it didn’t sit well with her to give it back so directly.

It was about this time that the students on duty from the neighboring class poked their heads out to watch the commotion while chirping.

Chacha glanced at them and they guiltily hid behind their classroom’s door.

Chacha said, “Return it? Why will I return the money when I’ve just borrowed it?”

Ning An muttered under her breath, “But I didn’t want to lend you the money, you snatched it from me.”

The people in the neighboring class poked their heads out to peek again and Chacha threw them another glance.

Seeing them shrunk their heads back, she then turned to Ning An with an impatient expression. She seemed to be disliking Ning An’s lack of elegance and honor. She threw the money back at Ning An’s face and said, “Heh, it’s just a little money. It’s not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. How stingy. I told you I’m borrowing some money yet you talk so much crap.”

Jiao Yushi was a bit surprised. Normally, Chen Cha likes to put on airs and wouldn’t use the word ‘crap’.

Ning An looked at the money scattered on the floor and pursed her lips, looking humiliated.

But having the money back was better than nothing. Her family wasn’t in a good position, so she spends her money sparingly. One hundred yuan might not seem much to others, but it could keep her alive for a week.

Ning An told herself to just endure it. Then, she squatted down and picked up the money.

Jiao Yushi didn’t even glance at Ning An when he said, “Apologise to Ning An.”

Chacha answered with a question, “And if I don’t?”

Jiao Yushi told her, “Then don’t even think about leaving today.”

Chacha was speechless. In the plot, although he knew about this matter, he clearly didn’t come forward to help Ning An. Why was he so difficult to deal with today?

“Apologise? Why should I?” Chacha jerked her hand away angrily, wanting to shake away his hold in a cool way, and then gracefully leave.

Unexpectedly, his hands were like crab claws, clamping her wrist that she unable to easily shake it off.

It was a bit embarrassing. However, Chacha remained calm. She couldn’t pry his hand away so she raised it in the air and said, “Student Jiao Yushi, why do you keep holding on to my hand? Are you trying to molest me? Or do you think you’re handsome and clever so anyone will fall in love with you? Is this why you’re so emboldened in holding the wrist of someone who has nothing to do with you?”
