Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Tired of Living?

"Stop right there!"

Shi Yaoguang walked across the playground, with a group of people closing in behind her.

"Shi Yaoguang, you have no shame, thinking you can actually make Nie Feng publicly apologize to you! You should look in the mirror and see if you're worthy."

"Ha, just a silly country girl. Just one vacation away, and your tail's already up in the sky, forgetting what you really are?"

Shi Yaoguang listened to their words, curling her lips into a sneer.

She slowly turned around, her gaze sweeping over each speaker, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"Indeed, some people have forgotten what they are; they do need a lesson."

Hearing her obviously mocking words, several people's faces soured.

This time, those who wanted to teach Shi Yaoguang a lesson were half Nie Feng's lackeys and the other half were defending Shi Yiqing.

When she had first transferred to the school, these people always cornered her in places surveillance couldn't reach, humiliating her at will, all thanks to the half-truths spread by Shi Yiqing.

Logically, with her skills at the time, she didn't need to stand there and be beaten when facing these people.

Unfortunately, reality didn't play out as one might wish.

Whenever she thought of resisting, her body would suddenly freeze, completely immobilized.

Even now, Shi Yaoguang could clearly remember how she felt at that time.

Although she had the ability to resist.

Although she wasn't inferior to anyone.

She just couldn't control herself.

Back then, she was like a clown blaming heaven and others.

She could rant and rave all she wanted in her mind, but in action, she was just a coward.

After feeling powerless too many times, she gradually gave up resistance.

After all, resistance always seemed futile.

Yet her concessions only led to their increasingly aggressive behavior.

No, such people might no longer deserve to be called human.

At best, they were animals in human skin.

As leaders of the bullying group, both An Xu and Yu Zhenzhen felt a creeping dread when facing the radiant young girl before them.

However, they just assumed it was an illusion.

After all, Shi Yaoguang was someone whom everyone thought could be easily bullied; that was their impression of her.

They didn't believe that Shi Yaoguang could suddenly change.

Yu Zhenzhen had picked up many benefits by sticking close to Shi Yiqing.

Now that it was her turn to act, she didn't stint on her performance.

Suppressing the unease deep in her heart, she tilted her chin haughtily, looking down at Shi Yaoguang through flared nostrils, assuming a supremely arrogant pose.

"Hey, you know what you should and shouldn't do, right?"

Shi Yaoguang's eyes creased with a smile, "Of course."

Hearing this, those who had been slightly wary of her also relaxed.

That terrifying feeling they had for a moment must have been an illusion.

If it wasn't an illusion, how could they possibly fear someone who wouldn't fight back?

Yes, it had to be an illusion.

With that thought, the group became arrogant once again.

Each one of them looked at Shi Yaoguang, revealing malicious smiles.

An Xu licked the corner of his lips, a wicked flame igniting in his eyes, "What was that expression just now? You almost scared me! I'll give you a chance to make amends. If you agree to sleep with me, I'll let you go, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, a small frown formed between Shi Yaoguang's eyebrows.

The others started to egg them on.

Yu Zhenzhen was a bit dissatisfied, "An Xu, she's just a nobody not fit for public appearances, why are you still interested in her?"

An Xu glanced at her with disdain and snorted, "What's it to you if I'm interested in her? Even if she's from the countryside, she's got quite a figure! She's just reached adulthood, and her cup size is already C, right? With those curves, instead of letting someone else have her, I might as well have a taste myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhenzhen's jealousy almost drove her to want to kill Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang had no doubt that if looks could kill, she would have been turned into a hedgehog by now.

Shi Yaoguang's reaction, surprisingly, was calm.

"You want to sleep with me?" Even after hearing such a blunt insult, she didn't show a trace of anger; instead, it seemed she enjoyed it, her smile radiant.

An Xu was dazzled by her smile, bowing his head in a daze, his tone growing more eager, "Just agree to be with me, and I won't bully you anymore."

Shi Yaoguang sounded like a naive young girl hearing the promise of freedom if she agreed to the condition. Her voice was lively but laced with a hint of skepticism, "Really?"

Thinking she was tempted, An Xu immediately nodded and promised, "Of course it's true! If you become my woman, I won't just stop bullying you, I'll also protect you."

Shi Yaoguang's gaze shifted to an infuriated Yu Zhenzhen, insinuating, "You promise you won't bully me, but nobody else made that promise."

"What if..." Her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at Yu Zhenzhen, "Yu Zhenzhen, would you listen to An Xu?"

Yu Zhenzhen subconsciously retorted, "Why should I listen to him?"

Shi Yaoguang shrugged her shoulders, showing an innocent expression to An Xu, "You heard her, An Xu, Yu Zhenzhen won't listen to you, so..."

"Your guarantee is worthless."

An Xu wanted to say something to salvage the situation, "No, I really have a way—"

Shi Yaoguang reined in her expectant expression, scoffing lightly, "Forget it. A bug like you, the words you say have no credibility at all, I won't believe you."

An Xu's smile froze on his face, "What did you say? Calling me a bug?! Don't think too highly of yourself just because I showed some interest in you! It's your good fortune that I fancy you, don't be so ungrateful!"

Hearing herself being called a bug, An Xu even thought he was hallucinating.

If Shi Yaoguang hadn't gone mad, then he must have.

Otherwise, how could he hear such a word as bug from the mouth of such a timid woman?

Seeing her confrontation with An Xu, Yu Zhenzhen felt her own authority being challenged too.

"Shi Yaoguang, are you sick of living?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "The one who's sick of living isn't me."

As she spoke, a bewitching smile slowly spread across her lips.

The girl's complexion was a cold white, and her features were delicate and beautiful. At this moment, the faint smile at the corners of her mouth sent shivers down the spine.

Even though she hadn't done anything, a chill still ran from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads.

This sensation was like an invisible force clutching at their throats, making them subconsciously fearful and trembling, daring not to harbor any rebellious thoughts.

Shi Yaoguang observed them with cold eyes, leisurely uttering, "As I thought, a bunch of idiots."

Their faces turned red with anger, yet they dared not voice any objections.

They could only curse her inwardly.

Shi Yaoguang must have taken the wrong medicine today; she usually just stood there and took the hits, how could she suddenly act like this? And so eerily at that, truly infuriating!
