Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 4: Gu Chenyi, the male protagonist of a Mary Sue novel.

Two months ago, Gu Chenyi heard that the Jiang family had adopted a daughter and even asked Jiang Tianyao to recognize her as her older sister.

However, he was studying in Europe at that time and had only returned last week.

As soon as he got off the plane, he went to find Jiang Tianyao. The girl, with tears in her eyes, nestled in his arms and cried to him, saying that the Jiang family cared a lot about this adopted daughter and had already helped her transfer to the same high school as them.

The adopted daughter, on the one hand, acted like a good girl in front of her adoptive parents, but behind their backs, she was bossy and domineering towards Jiang Tianyao.

They say they not only want to take away Jiang Tianyao's position in the Jiang family, but also her fiancé!

This caused Jiang Tianyao to suffer a lot of grievances.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Chenyi was furious. He thought his adopted daughter was mentally ill, crazy, and what was wrong with her? How could a country bumpkin like her try to seduce him? She must be tired of living.

Now, he was going to make this adopted daughter realize just how absurd her ideas were!

He is Gu Chenyi.

The eldest son of the Gu family, and the future president of the Gu Group.

Born into a prestigious family, he received the best elite education from a young age, excelled academically, and was handsome. Even in a prestigious school, his family background and appearance were among the best, making him a star to be admired.

He and Jiang Tianyao were childhood sweethearts and had been betrothed since they were little.

He also fully approved of the marriage, believing that only a wealthy young lady like Jiang Tianyao, who possessed both beauty and a good family background, was worthy of him.

What gives this bumpkin from some remote mountain village in Southwest China the audacity to covet him?

Gu Chenyi stood at the entrance of the international class, hands in his pockets, brows furrowed. After calling out once and still no one came out, his brows furrowed even more.

This adopted daughter of Shi Sui really doesn't know what's good for her.

He went to find Jiang Tianyao to have lunch together after class, but found that she was no longer in the classroom. After inquiring, he learned that she had gone to see her adopted daughter.

As a result, this adopted daughter actually gave Jiang Tianyao a hard time.

He comforted her for a while before Jiang Tianyao stopped crying and started to smile.

Gu Chenyi was just thinking about how to teach his adopted daughter a lesson when a clear, cold voice rang out.

"Are you alright?"

Shi Sui kept her distance from him, looked him up and down, and thought, "Wow, he's exactly the kind of male lead described in novels—one part arrogance, two parts handsomeness, and seven parts domineering aura."

However, in Shi Sui's eyes, he was a complete lunatic.

Because this man imprisoned her in her dreams, disfigured her, removed her kidneys, bled her, crippled her... He roamed outside the law, and no law could restrain this lawless madman.

Therefore, the murderous intent in Shi Sui's eyes when she looked at him was something she herself was unaware of.

Gu Chenyi was also sizing her up.

To be honest, this adopted daughter is quite pretty.

The girl's ponytail was tied high, and beneath the loose, wispy hair was a fair and pretty small face. Her lips were a cherry blossom pink, and she had a pair of light amber eyes with slightly upturned corners.

Looking into his eyes, it didn't seem like he was seducing her; instead, it exuded a murderous aura.

This surprised Gu Chenyi slightly.

As Jiang Tianyao was right, this woman only became the Jiang family's adopted daughter because of her looks.

And she even deliberately looked at him with that murderous gaze to arouse his interest. What a cunning and ingenious seduction tactic!

What good is being pretty if you're still just a lowly adopted daughter?

Gu Chenyi calmed down and asked knowingly, "Are you Shi Sui, the adopted daughter of the Jiang family?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "adopted daughter of the Jiang family" when he spoke, just to remind her of her identity.

"You need something?" Shi Sui politely refrained from rolling her eyes. "If you have something to say, say it quickly; if not, leave."

She still hasn't finished her questions, it's urgent!

“Jiang Tianyao and I have been engaged since childhood. My fiancée is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and could never be a lowly adopted daughter like you.” Gu Chenyi raised his chin slightly, adopting the posture of a superior.

Shi Sui couldn't help but roll her eyes, and was about to call him crazy.

Gu Chenyi said to himself, "I advise you to put away your wicked thoughts and not to have any unrealistic ideas about me."

Shi Sui froze for a second. How did he know she had unrealistic criminal thoughts? Just thinking about the ending of the dream made her really want to kill him.

Seeing Shi Sui's stunned expression, Gu Chenyi felt a moment of satisfaction.

Just as I suspected, this country bumpkin, thinking herself somewhat attractive, harbored fantasies about him. Now, it's time to shatter her illusions.

Gu Chenyi continued, "You've been targeting Jiang Tianyao at every turn, and you even tried to seduce me. Don't you think you're being despicable?"

Snapped! !

"Actions speak louder than words," Shi Sui said without hesitation, giving Gu Chenyi a resounding slap and politely commenting, "What's wrong with you?"

Before Gu Chenyi could react, she slipped back into the classroom through the back door, closed it, and locked it.

Gu Chenyi actually fantasized that she liked him? The more Shi Sui thought about it, the more disgusted she felt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that slapping him would be too lenient for him.

Or should we go back and open the door, and slap him a couple more times?

Shi Sui rubbed her ears as she walked to her seat, only to find that everyone in the classroom was looking at her, but no one spoke, they just stared.

Looking at it any longer was starting to get creepy. Shi Sui tried to keep her presence to herself, but as she walked toward her seat, her gaze met a pair of eyes that were misty and foggy.

Beneath her long, narrow eyelashes, her beautiful, pure black eyes were like the finest gemstones, deep and unfathomable.

The slap was so loud that it pierced through the entire classroom.

They woke Chi Yan up.

The boy listlessly took off his noise-canceling headphones, rubbed his hair, propped one hand on the table, and turned his head to look over.

The whole class was waiting for Chi Yan to get angry.

Because this damn woman woke up the Demon King, and she's a Demon King with a terrible temper when he wakes up!

But Shi Sui acted as if nothing had happened and walked straight toward the Demon King.

Chi Yan had never seen her before. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and realized that the woman was actually moving closer to him. He jumped up, his reaction so violent that he almost overturned his chair.

"Who are you?"

He fell asleep on his desk as soon as he entered the classroom, and no one dared to wake him up, so no one told him that he had a new deskmate.

“Me?” Shi Sui pointed to herself and introduced herself, “I’m a transfer student who just arrived today. My name is Shi Sui. I’ll be staying here for a week for some reason.”

The girl had jet-black hair tied in a simple ponytail. Beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows were large, amber eyes with long, thick eyelashes. The starlight in her eyes seemed to shine directly into his heart.

so cute.

The sound is also very nice.

It was as if pink bubbles were rising in the air, and a romantic cherry blossom rain was falling (the filter of love at first sight).

Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, his pointed ears turning slightly red, but he still said with undiminished momentum, "I don't have anyone sitting next to me, so get lost."

Shi Sui looked at the person opposite her. He was so irritable over such a small matter as his deskmate. He was obviously not someone to be trifled with.

He even calls himself "Laozi," which shows a complete lack of manners.

She wanted to leave too.

But there were no other seats in the classroom except the empty seat next to him. Does that mean he'll have to listen to lectures in the hallway from now on?

"I won't bother you, just treat me like I'm not there." Shi Sui softened her voice and tentatively negotiated with him, "I'll treat you like I'm not there either."

Damn. She's actually treating Chi Yan like she doesn't exist. The whole class thought to themselves, this girl is doomed, she'll never be able to stay in this school.

Chi Yan's underlings had already rolled up their sleeves, intending to throw Shi Sui's desk out the window.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

The whole class was waiting for Chi Yan to get angry, but before the Demon King could get angry, someone else who was angry came over.

The back door was locked from the inside. Gu Chenyi's figure drifted past the window and finally entered through the front door of the classroom. He walked quickly toward Shi Sui, seemingly oblivious to everyone else and filled with anger.

"You worthless adopted daughter!" Gu Chenyi shouted angrily, pointing his finger at me. "You dare hit me! You country bumpkin!"

"Don't even think about trying to seduce me with those kinds of tricks. You're dead meat. I'll make sure you can't stay in this school anymore!"

A red, swollen handprint was visible on Gu Chenyi's right cheek, its outline clearly defined, suggesting that the slap was perfect in both speed and force.

Shi Sui's eyes lit up. Great! She was still regretting that slapping him was too lenient, but she didn't expect Gu Chenyi to be so sensible as to come to her door to be beaten!

If there's one commendable quality about Shi Sui, it's that she's very beautiful.

He's also very good at fighting.
