The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Li Ruo raised her head and met Zhou Si's furious face.

"Are you crazy?! You dare go to a place like that?!"

The whole class gasped.

Zhou Si was trembling.

Zhou Si, who used to beat his opponents to a pulp in the boxing ring without batting an eye, is now trembling.

Quiet whispers began to circulate around them:

"Holy crap, that school bully's expression is weird!!!"

"I've never seen him like this before..."

"What kind of place could make Zhou Si so terrified???"

He instantly transformed into a ruffled lion, his pupils trembling:

"That madman... he's not even human! Do you know how many he's hiding in his estate..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his Adam's apple bobbed.

The fear in his eyes said it all.

This was the first time Li Ruo had seen fear on Zhou Si's face.

It's not anger.

It's not that I'm short-tempered.

It was real, tangible fear.

[Zhou Si is actually afraid? ??? I started to panic. After all, Li Ruo has no external support; once she enters that place, it's tantamount to death.]

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Zhou Si is actually scared?!]

[Someone who can scare a madman must be incredibly twisted!]

[This is infuriating, ladies! This is like a madwoman meeting her absolute madness!]

The classroom was deathly silent.

Someone secretly took out their phone and frantically typed in the class group chat:

[Holy crap, Thursday is here!!! Right here in our classroom!!!]

[What is he doing here?]

[For Li Ruo!!! He told Li Ruo not to go to a certain place!!! Holy crap!]

[This is terrifying! I feel like Zhou Si will punch Li Ruo into a pulp, and then she'll be stuck to the table and impossible to pry off.]

The news continues to spread in the class group.

Before the students in the classroom could recover from their shock, another commotion arose at the door.

Lu Ran also arrived.

His usual roguish, always nonchalantly smiling face was now flushed red, as if he had swallowed a whole basket of chili peppers; even his signature fiery red hair looked somewhat dull.

"Li Ruo!"

He strode to her desk, his voice low but trembling noticeably:

"Take my advice, don't go!"

"Even if Lu Xingzhou and Zhou Si are crazy, and Jiang Wu and Pei Qingrang are perverted, at least they still have some humanity!"

"But that madman... he didn't!"

When Lu Ran, who was the nemesis of the school bully, arrived, the classroom finally erupted in chaos.

"What?! Lu Ran is here too?! Lu Ran, the motorcycle god???"

"Wait, what did he say? Lu Xingzhou? Zhou Si? Jiang Wu? Pei Qingrang?? How come all these names are appearing at the same time???"

"Holy crap!!! Didn't you guys understand?? Li Ruo's sycophantic group actually has connections to that big shot from the Lu family?!?!"

"My God!! That Lu Xingzhou??? That Lu Xingzhou from fourth grade who never shows up???"

"Just who is Li Ruo, oh my god!!!"

The discussion grew louder and louder, and some people even stood up and stood on tiptoe to look in their direction.

Zhou Si was provoked by Lu Ran's words about going crazy again, and immediately retorted:

"Who the hell did you call 'crazy'?! Lu Ran, you better explain yourself!!"

Lu Ran sneered, "What? You're not crazy? Then what are you doing right now?"

"I'm saving people!"

"Saving someone? You call that saving someone? Your face was practically pressed against hers!"

The students in the classroom finally realized—

"What?! Li Ruo's sycophantic group is actually involved with that big shot from the Lu family?!"

"Holy crap! What's going on?!"

"Didn't Lu Ran never get involved in these things???"

"Am I dreaming?? Pinch me!!! Pinch me hard!!!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from the doorway.

"Junior Sister Li Ruo!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

Pei Qingrang stood at the front door of the classroom, the corner of his white lab coat, which he had just come from the laboratory, was swaying, indicating that he had clearly run there.

"ah--!!!"

A scream nearly lifted the roof off.

"Pei Qingrang!!! It's Pei Qingrang!!!"

"Oh my god!!! The genius Pei actually came to our classroom!!!"

"My idol!!! My idol who I read his papers on every day!!! A real person!!! Alive!!!"

"Help! Help! Help! I'm going to faint!!!"

Screams erupted one after another. Some people covered their faces and stomped their feet on the spot, some grabbed their classmates' arms and shook them wildly, and others took out their phones and took pictures of Pei Qingrang.

Pei Qingrang walked into the classroom expressionlessly, as if the screams and cameras didn't exist.

"Excuse me, could you move aside?"

The crowd automatically parted to form a path.

Pei Qingrang strode in.

Pei Qingrang, the academic genius from the Department of Physics who never lingers outside the teaching building for even a second longer than necessary, is standing right in front of Li Ruo's seat.

He adjusted his glasses, his expression grave, unusually serious.

"Theoretically, I cannot refuse his invitation."

"But if you really don't want to go, I can... find a way."

He didn't say what the method was.

But the weight in his tone silenced everyone present.

Pei Qingrang, the Pei Qingrang who never interferes in any non-scientific matters, actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to find a solution.

What does this mean?

This means he's going to use the Pei family's trump card.

Pei Qingrang!!! He said he would help Li Ruo find a solution!!!

[The Pei family's trump card, sisters! This must be an incredible favor!]

[As expected, a madman is most terrifying when he gets serious!]

Seeing the comments, Li Ruo was a little stunned: "Uh..."

The onlookers went completely berserk, giving Li Ruo no chance to speak at all.

"Wow!!! Bae looks so handsome when he talks!!!"

"Oh my god! Is today some kind of auspicious day?!"

"Even the academic genius Pei personally came to our classroom!!"

"Oh my god! Senior Pei is my idol! I never thought I'd get to see him up close like this!"

"Ah! My heart is pounding so hard I can't take it anymore!!"

"Help me, I'm about to faint!!!"

Li Ruo: "..."

The atmosphere was too intense, and she wanted to look up and have some peace and quiet.

Then the comments section attacked her eyes:

[Hahaha, my classmates' reactions are so real! Their reactions are exactly like mine!]

[Hahaha, the whole class is stuffed from eating all this gossip!]

Is this what a fan meeting looks like?

Pei Qingrang truly possesses the aura of a cool and aloof male god!

[Pei Qingrang said "think of a way"?? This is the first time I've seen someone get Pei Qingrang to say "think of a way"!]

Who exactly is this Fu Chenzhou?! I'm suddenly so scared, Li Ruo, please don't go...

Before everyone could recover from the shock brought by Pei Qingrang, the back door of the classroom was pushed open again.

This time, everyone held their breath in unison.

River mist.

Jiang Wu, the genius painter revered as a god by the art academy, who never stepped out of the art building, actually appeared here.

"Am I seeing things?? That's Jiang Wu???"

"Jiang Wu??? What's he doing here?? Doesn't he never leave the art building??"

"Jiang Wu, the legendary artist who can lock himself in his studio for three months straight to perfect a single painting???"

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!! What day is it today?!"

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

Jiang Wu walked in.

He was wearing a white shirt stained with paint, the cuffs still damp with cobalt blue. He looked pale and fragile, like a piece of porcelain that might shatter at any moment.

He walked up to Li Ruo, without even glancing at Zhou Si and Lu Ran, and squeezed in front of Pei Qingrang.

Then--

He took a small knife out of his pocket.

"Holy crap!! What is he doing?!"

"A knife! He has a knife!!!"

"He...he...he's having a relapse, is this what they call a mental breakdown???"

"Help! Security! Security!!!"

Amid exclamations of surprise, Jiang Wu rolled up her sleeves and, without hesitation, slashed her arm.

One.

Two paths.

Three paths.

Blood flowed down his pale arm and dripped onto the floor, a horrifying sight.

Screams erupted in the classroom.

Some people covered their eyes, some backed away in fear, and a few timid girls burst into tears.

But Jiang Wu seemed to feel no pain.

He looked up at Li Ruo, ignoring the blood flowing down his arm:

"Sister...don't go..."

His voice was as soft as a child's whine, but the words he spoke were chilling:

"If my sister insists on going... then kill me first."

"I don't want...to see my sister become someone else's collectible..."

【Aaaaaaah, the river mist is starting again!!!】

[This time he hurt himself in front of the whole class, holy crap!!!]

[It's crazy, but I feel so sorry for her, sob sob...]

[Sister, please hug the puppy!!!]

Li Ruo's lips twitched.

She looked at the bloody wounds on Jiang Wu's arm, and then at the expression on his face that said, "If you don't agree, I'll keep cutting," and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The whole class has completely gone mad.

"Help!!! What kind of melodramatic plot is this?!"

"Jiang Wu harmed himself for love?! My girlish heart is about to explode!!!"

"What kind of bewitching potion did Li Ruo give him?!"

What shocked everyone the most was yet to come.

Suddenly, it became quiet at the classroom door.

Everyone seemed to have been muted, all turning their heads in the same direction.

Lu Xingzhou stood at the door.

Lu Xingzhou, who hasn't shown up at the St. Liya teaching building for four years!

Lu Xingzhou, who is always lazy, carefree, and doesn't care about anything!

Lu Xingzhou, the guy revered as the ultimate male god by all the girls in the school—

he came!

For Li Ruo!

They made an exception and let me into this crowded classroom?!

This legendary, god-like figure actually appeared here?!

After a second of silence, the classroom exploded like fireworks.

The screams were so loud they hurt my eardrums.

"Aa ...

"Oh my god, oh my god, am I going to die today?!"

"Lu Xingzhou! It's Lu Xingzhou!! The living Lu Xingzhou!!!"

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I saw it in person!!"

"Pinch me! Am I dreaming?!"

"Quick! Go tell the students from the next class!! Tell them Lu Xingzhou is in our classroom!! Let them come see our idol!!!"

"My God, I can't believe I got to see Lu Xingzhou's face up close!"

"That skin! Those eyes!! That aura!! Ahhhhhh I'm dead!!"

The crowd surged like a tide; some rushed out to call for help, some pushed their way in to get a better view, and some even pulled out their phones to livestream.

"Family members! Look what I caught!! Lu Xingzhou! Lu Xingzhou, whom Saint Lia never shows himself! He's right here in my classroom!! Follow the streamer and you won't get lost! The streamer will take you up close to your idol!!"

Lu Xingzhou ignored the screams around him.

He was dressed in all black today. He walked through the crowd and stood in front of Li Ruo.

Gone was the languidness and playfulness of the past; only a suffocating sense of oppression remained in his eyes and brows.

"Li Ruo".

His voice was hoarse, as if he had run all the way here.

The entire room fell silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

There is only one way to get that person to withdraw the invitation.

He stared into her eyes and continued, word by word:

"Become my fiancée."
