I Trick Even the Lames to Stand Up for Me Chapter 4 - Encounter with the School Bully

Chapter 4 - Encounter with the School Bully

When Mrs. Gu came home, Gu Ye and Gu Yang were packing their bags. Ever since they entered high school, they had been living in the dormitory and were only allowed to go home once a month for three days. Therefore, they packed a lot of things.

Mrs. Gu checked their bags and went to the kitchen to fetch packs of jerky, fruits, bread, and all kinds of snacks to stuff into her sons’ bags.

Gu Ye looked at his bag and whispered, “I think brother got more than I did.”

“Really?” Gu Yang was puzzled. He was about to fish the snacks out from their bags to compare when Mrs. Gu slapped his hands off angrily and awkwardly stuffed an extra pack of jerky into Gu Ye’s bag. “There’s only half a year left before the college entrance exam. Eat more and study hard.”

Satisfied, Gu Ye held his bag and smiled. “Thank you, Mom!”

Upon hearing the word “Mom”, Mrs. Gu’s expression became complicated. Looking at Gu Ye’s satisfied expression, the corner of her lips curled up in a smile, and she ruffled Gu Ye’s hair roughly. “Study hard! Don’t let people say you’re stupid!”

Gu Ye nodded, still smiling. “Un!”

“Oh, right. Have you completed your winter holiday’s homework?” Mrs. Gu’s expression was soft, appearing very kind and motherly. Gu Yang’s expression, however, changed after hearing the question.

His mother’s face immediately became displeased. “You didn’t do it?”

Gu Yang scratched the back of his head. He’d been busy playing around. Homework… what’s that?

“It’s fine if you didn’t do it.” Gu Ye patted his younger brother’s head and solemnly comforted him. “You, silly child, simply have a fool’s luck. Studying is a dead end, anyways. Even if you study, you won’t do well, so you might as well give up. I’ve already calculated, and I predict that your teacher won’t scold you for forgetting to do your homework this time.”

Elated, Gu Yang instantly raised his head.

Mrs. Gu immediately became displeased and reprimanded : “It’s already enough if you don’t study well yourself, but don’t pull your brother along with you!”

Gu Ye suddenly leaned toward Gu Yang, looked at his glabella, and then happily said, “Fourth brother, ah, you’re going to make a small fortune. Go buy a lottery ticket! You’ll surely win.”

“Wow! I’ll go now!”

Before Mrs. Gu could even say anything, Gu Yang had already run off, leaving his mother to stomp her feet in annoyance.

Gu Yang actually bought five lottery tickets before returning home, and the lottery draw just happened to be that night. After dinner, Gu Yang devoutly held the lottery tickets above his head and prayed, “Grandpas and Grandmas on both sides of the family, please bless me!” Once he finished, he snuck a peek at the door. Finding n.o.body, he whispered, “Third brother, bless me!”

As a result, he really won!

Gu Yang was so excited that he pounded on Gu Ye’s door. “Brother! I won! I really won! It’s the third prize! Fifteen thousand yuan, ah!”

Although their family was quite rich, the children’s allowance was strictly controlled. It was impossible for Gu Yang to buy luxury goods with the money his father gave him. If he wanted to buy an expensive toy, he needed to apply for it in advance and do ch.o.r.es to earn extra pocket money. 15,000 yuan wasn’t a small amount for Gu Yang, so it made him so happy that he felt like he was walking on air. He didn’t even want to sleep.

Gu Ye, however, was about to take a bath before going to sleep. Opening the door, he stared at the overly excited child and yelled, “Shut up! Go to sleep!”

The excited Gu Yang was scared by the outburst and dejectedly left with the lottery tickets.

Mrs. Gu, who was on the first floor, raised an eyebrow. He really won? Then, is it true that wearing red clothes has been suppressing my fortune?

The next morning, Mrs. Gu wore a little yellow dress, quite different from her usual color of choice. Her feet pitter-pattered as she walked happily from the kitchen, holding two bowls of noodles. Seeing the two brothers coming downstairs, she said gently, “One bowl per person. I made sure to add two eggs so that you’ll have a good memory and score a hundred marks on each subject.”

Gu Ye said, “Mom, we can’t score a hundred marks no matter how many noodles and eggs we eat. Receiving full marks on an exam relies on one’s IQ, after all.”

Mrs. Gu : “…Shut up!”

After Gu Ye sat down, he looked at Gu Yang’s bowl before complaining, “Mom, I think the egg in Brother’s bowl is bigger than mine.”

Mrs. Gu’s lips twitched. “Nonsense! All four eggs are the same size this time!”

Gu Ye was satisfied. “Oh, I was mistaken.”

Mrs. Gu: “…..”

Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, hurry up and go to school so that you can bother other people instead of me!

Before leaving, Gu Ye placed a charm in the mouths of the two stone lions at the gate and, under Mrs. Gu’s gaze, got into the car with a smile of expectation.

Gu Ye is a senior and Gu Yang is a soph.o.m.ore. Both attend the same school but don’t share the same campus. Gu Yang got off the car before they reached the north gate of the school, and happened to meet an acquaintance. He lugged his large suitcase and, like a dog released from its leash, happily ran off.

Gu Ye shook his head with a smile and turned to look at the school before narrowing his eyes slightly. Even without entering the school, he could feel a current of vigorous Yin and Yang. Since ancient times, schools have always been built in places with heavy Yin Qi, and it was necessary to use the students’ Yang Qi to suppress the Yin Qi. Therefore, having some Yin Qi at a school is normal. However, this school’s Yin Qi was evidently abnormal as it concealed swirling red Yuan Qi and black Sha Qi within.

When the car arrived at the north gate, the driver stopped and helped Gu Ye take out his luggage from the trunk. “Third Young Master, I’ll leave your things in the guardroom. After you have lunch, remember to take them back to your dormitory.”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “Okay. Thank you.”

The driver was slightly shocked. He didn’t expect that Gu Ye would be able to smile so brightly. Under the sun, the youth’s beautiful eyes curved like a crescent moon from his smile, while his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his fair face, making his lips appear redder and teeth whiter. He looked very handsome.

Influenced by his smile, the driver gestured to Gu Ye with a clenched fist and happily said, “Third Young Master, jia you!”

Gu Ye nodded and carried his luggage into the school. Right now, he had no choice but to take the college entrance exam again. Why is life so difficult?

Several students, who stood at the window in the corridor watching the gate, saw him as soon as he entered.

“Tell Boss that the stupid young master came!”

“This stupid imbecile even dared to rat us out to his father, causing Boss to be locked up during the entire winter holiday!”

“I guarantee that if Boss really wants to teach him a lesson, he will surely become docile and obedient.”

As soon as Qian Zhen heard his lackey’s report, he grinned and said, “That motherf.u.c.ker! He still dares to come to school!”

Qian Zhen used to be a notorious bully in Wu Middle School. The school was famous for its high enrollment rate into prestigious universities in the city, but there were still students with failing grades. Qian Zhen was the leader of those students. He frequently fought, smoked, drank, and was also a playboy. As long as it wasn’t related to studying, he would do it.

He was a local and was also from a rich family, so ordinary students didn’t dare provoke him. A rich second-generation like Gu Ye can in fact fight him and even easily step on Qian Zhe, but after being bullied constantly for half a year, the already timid and frightened Gu Ye didn’t dare to say anything. However, Gu DeCheng still found out and stormed to the Qian Family with a vengeance. As a result, Qian Zhen was locked up under house arrest for the entire winter vacation. Qian Zhen was originally scared of Gu Ye’s father, but upon seeing Gu Ye come to school, the anger he had bottled up over vacation suddenly erupted!

When the students heard Qian Zhen’s words, they all sympathized with Gu Ye. Gu Ye was sure to suffer this time under Qian Zhen’s extreme hate.

Gu Ye arrived at the sixth cla.s.sroom according to his memory but was instantly surrounded by several boys as soon as he entered. Raising his eyebrows in confusion, his collar was suddenly grabbed by a tall student before he was dragged out of the cla.s.sroom.

“Gu Ye, you have the audacity to snitch to your father! Haven’t you thought about how we’re going to make the second half of your school year a living h.e.l.l?!” Qian Zhen dragged Gu Ye to the toilet and ferociously pressed him against the wall. He was half a head taller than Gu Ye, and looked extremely vicious and fierce. The lackey who came in with him was also tall, burly, and seemed aggressive.

Realizing that he had encountered bullying, Gu Ye unexpectedly started giggling to himself.
