In the living room of the villa, several people were sitting. They were all sitting quite far apart and didn’t engage in conversation despite being together. Instead, they all wore a somewhat absent-minded expression.
For a while, the living room was unusually quiet, with only the television playing a drama series, though no one was watching.
After some time, footsteps could be heard from upstairs. The sound wasn’t loud, but it caused the people in the living room to look up towards the upper floor.
The living room of the Su family villa was open above, revealing a large and exquisite chandelier that illuminated the entire room and floor.
At that moment, a teenager in casual attire slowly descended from the second floor. His face was delicate, with slightly upturned phoenix eyes. The tassels hanging from his earring swayed gently with his steps, giving off an air of elegance and splendor.
The teenager’s black hair was slightly damp, adding a touch of disheveled beauty to his appearance.
With a faint glance at the people below, the teenager lifted his chin slightly, appearing somewhat displeased. He seemed like a haughty little prince, looking down on others.
Only then did the others seem to snap out of their daze, quickly averting their gazes.
Xiao Shiyi, seeing the teenager, sat down on the sofa. He fetched a clean white towel from somewhere and gently wiped the still-damp hair behind the teenager’s head. His movements were calm and tender.
The early summer temperature didn’t require a hairdryer, and the towel quickly dried the hair.
The teenager acted as if it were only natural, without feeling that anything was amiss. It was as if this lackey should serve him like a servant.
Mo Ran had also planned to wipe the teenager’s hair, but his actions were slower than Xiao Shiyi’s. Seeing his task being taken, he cast a sinister look at Xiao Shiyi.
Ji Zhiyuan, standing by, glanced at the two of them. Then he looked at the teenager, who had an arrogant and even somewhat spoiled appearance. He couldn’t help but feel that this was far from the image of the school violence leader that he had imagined.
It even challenged his perception of school bullies.
Before seeing the teenager, he had believed that he was a vicious and ruthless individual. However, after seeing him, he couldn’t connect the dots between the teenager and the demon Su Qing, as described by many classmates and teachers.
If it hadn’t been for the extensive investigation conducted by their group, he would never have believed that the stunning and flamboyant teenager before his eyes could be the leader of school violence.
Are they being deceived by everyone in the school...?
Moreover, his lackeys didn’t seem to serve him like eunuchs serving an emperor. Instead, it’s more like they were trying to please the person they like.
And the teenager seemed completely oblivious, thinking that he was the lofty ruler who could give orders to everyone.
In reality, this was nothing more than a little white rabbit relying on a wooden stick in his hand to confront a tiger. It’s fine as long as the wooden stick remained in his hand, but once it’s gone...
The viewers in the live stream room also thought the same.
[Shit! How can he bully others like this? Won’t he be pinned down and taken advantage of?]
[Maybe it’s because he’s good-looking? But this is so intriguing! After arrogantly bullying others, being mercilessly retaliated against, and having no strength to resist, he can only be helplessly played with.]
[He’s only safe and well-off because of his privileged background. Otherwise, he would have been reduced to lying in someone’s bed a long time ago.]
[It’s hard not to agree. If I were his classmate, I would only think about playing with him every day, without any intention of studying. I now understand why some people like someone just to bully them.]
Ji Zhiyuan: “...”
Ji Zhiyuan glanced at the teenager sideways. Although the comments in the barrage might be too vulgar, it was indeed difficult not to agree.
Ruan Qing noticed that his hair was almost dry, so he turned his head slightly to avoid it.
Xiao Shiyi immediately stopped and walked over to sit on the nearby sofa.
Ruan Qing casually picked up some fruits from the fruit basket, took a bite, leaned back, and arrogantly placed his feet on the table in front of the sofa. His slender legs looked very attractive.
“At this late hour, why did you come to find me?”
Mo Ran glanced at Xiao Shiyi and cautiously spoke to Ruan Qing, “The basketball match with Class 1 is tomorrow. Will Brother Su participate?”
Ruan Qing’s hand holding the fruit paused, and he really wanted to say no. Sports were not suitable for him.
However, the original owner had never missed such activities.
Of course, it wasn’t because the original owner enjoyed sports. It was rather the satisfaction derived from bullying others in such situations that appealed to the original owner.
Moreover, staying in the Su family’s villa seemed too dangerous. With two days on the weekend, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t be killed inside the villa. Going to school to play basketball seemed like a safer option.
Ruan Qing finally nodded indifferently. “Okay.”
Mo Ran understood instantly, revealing a knowing smile as he approached Ruan Qing. “Brother Su, are we sticking to our usual routine?”
The so-called routine involved intentionally bumping into people, using the ball to injure others, and deliberately bullying others on the court.
Usually, referees would call a foul in such cases. However, because Su Qing was the school bully, no one dared to offend him. Even if he committed a foul, the referees would pretend not to see it.
Even the onlookers could only curse Su Qing in their hearts; nobody dared to genuinely stand up for others.
However, in front of everyone’s eyes, the original owner never injured anyone severely. He mostly trampled on others’ self-esteem and dignity, so there hadn’t been any major incidents.
Ruan Qing pondered for a moment and nodded again, “Okay.”
Though they lacked sportsmanship, at least this was a relatively mild form of bullying from the original owner.
Who knew what terrifying ideas this little demon could come up with when using a different approach? After all, he even thought of throwing a shot put at someone.
Seeing Ruan Qing’s agreement, Mo Ran looked towards Xiao Shiyi. Although Xiao Shiyi came from a well-off family, Mo Ran no longer treated him with the same flattery as before. “Brother Xiao, you won’t participate, right?”
Xiao Shiyi was in Class 1, and if he participated, he definitely wouldn’t be on the same team as them. They would become enemies.
Xiao Shiyi glanced at the teenager and nodded, “I’ll join, I can be a traitor.”
Upon hearing his words, the people present looked at him with surprise.
Xiao Shiyi wore glasses and appeared mature and stable, giving a reliable impression. However, he calmly uttered the phrase “be a traitor,” leaving people shocked.
Ji Zhiyuan was also in Class 1. Most of the players in their group were from Class 1, with only a few in other classes. Seeing this, he nervously spoke up, “Then I’ll join too. I can also be a spy.”
Ruan Qing: “...”
In order to please the original owner, these followers were truly going all out.
Moreover, a basketball game consisted of ten players, with five opponents and only five teammates. Among the remaining five teammates, two were villain actors, leaving the other three in a miserable situation...
But Ruan Qing couldn’t say anything. After all, the original owner enjoyed seeing others suffer.
It was getting late, but no one mentioned going to sleep. Mo Ran skillfully reached for a game controller from beside the television and handed one to Ruan Qing.
His actions clearly showed that he had visited the teenager’s house many times and had a deep understanding of him.
The TV show was turned off, and the game was started. The group played for several hours.
In the end, they stopped because the teenager fell asleep on the couch.
As soon as they noticed the teenager sleeping, everyone immediately quieted down and turned off the game.
Mo Ran glanced at the teenager and pulled Ji Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the couch, skillfully activating the couch’s backrest switch, instantly transforming it into a large bed.
Then, gently, Mo Ran placed the teenager’s legs on the couch, allowing him to lie down. He somehow found a blanket and covered the teenager with it.
These actions did not awaken the teenager, and Mo Ran’s movements were so skilled, clearly indicating that he had done this many times before.
By this time, it was already very late, and everyone was preparing to rest in the villa.
The couch on which the teenager was lying was the largest one, and when the backrest was lowered, it became like a large bed that could comfortably accommodate four or five people. However, it was obvious that no one dared to sleep together.
Xiao Shiyi didn’t often stay overnight at the Su family villa. He glanced at Mo Ran, who had casually found a couch and lay down, and found another couch to lie on himself.
Ji Zhiyuan looked at the occupied sofa and found only a short sofa left.
On the other side of the living room, there was another sofa, but in the end, Ji Zhiyuan casually found a short sofa to sit on and closed his eyes like that.
In the instance, it was good enough to rest; sleeping too deeply could lead to trouble.
The living room suddenly became quiet. The teenager’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but he ultimately didn’t open his eyes.
The next morning, the group woke up to the sound of an alarm clock.
Except for Ji Zhiyuan, the rest of the group had rested well, including Ruan Qing.
The instance had a time limit of ten days. Resting was essential during this period, as it was impossible to maintain one’s spirit indefinitely. So, whenever possible, he would choose to rest.
After all, with another player around, he could relax his nerves a little and let him handle the vigilant work.
Ruan Qing noticed something was off with Ji Zhiyuan when he went downstairs.
Ji Zhiyuan wasn’t among the higher-ranked members of Su Qing’s gang; he was just a small fry. But he didn’t show any reverence in his eyes; instead, he appeared vigilant towards his surroundings. Even in the midst of playing a game, he remained highly tense, subconsciously looking around at the slightest movement.
This level of alertness was something only horror game players possessed and was too easy to spot.
However, why was this player approaching him?
Did he know he would be the first to die?
Or perhaps he had some clues about this instance? Was it related to him?
After all, within the game’s main city, as long as there were enough points, one could buy some clues about the next instance.
Just as the system said, as long as there were enough points, one could exchange for anything they desired.
Ruan Qing glanced at Ji Zhiyuan. Regardless of whether he knew he would be the first to die or knew something else, it meant he had clues about the instance.
Naturally, Ruan Qing wouldn’t refuse his approach.
