Getting Rejected Makes Me Stronger Chapter 8

Ring ring~

At 3 PM, Su Cheng walked out of the school gates with his backpack, but he felt like he had forgotten something.

"What did I forget?"

Su Cheng stopped in his tracks and rubbed his head, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten.

"Oh right, my phone is out of battery."

Su Cheng suddenly realized. He remembered that his phone had died and urgently needed to go home to charge it. So he quickly ran towards the school gate, planning to take the bus home.

...

"Looks like you need to be taught a lesson."

On the rooftop, a girl with short black hair watched the figure walking out of the school gate, her eyes flashing coldly.

She had been stood up by Su Cheng.

If she just let Su Cheng go home like this, she wouldn't be able to face her young mistress.

So today, she had to give Su Cheng an unforgettable lesson, to make him remember and fear this lesson.

To force him to seek protection from a club today.

From PE class today, she had observed that Su Cheng's physical fitness was very poor, so he didn't seem to possess any extraordinary power. Therefore, she decided to resolve this with violence directly.

Of course, she wouldn't appear in person.

On the surface, she would always be the gentle and caring senior.

As for his ability to influence minds, she had also made full precautions, and even cleared all living creatures from the surrounding area in advance.

...

At the bus stop

"Junior!"

Liu Qingyue's voice suddenly came through. He turned his head to see Liu Qingyue smiling at him from the side, even winking her left eye, looking cute and playful.

"Hello, senior."

Su Cheng greeted politely.

He had already considered Liu Qingyue as just a normal friend, after all, this senior was both gentle and beautiful, who would be willing to refuse?

"You didn't go to the club building?"

With this reminder, Su Cheng finally remembered what he had forgotten.

Because he had run out of confessions, he had forgotten that he was supposed to go see Gu Ruoxue at the club today. But even after remembering, he still shook his head and said apologetically, "Senior, I don't think I need to join a club anymore."

Hearing Su Cheng's words, the smile on Liu Qingyue's face froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and asked, "Did something happen?"

Su Cheng suddenly snorted, then looked into the distance and said self-mockingly, "No matter how big someone else's roof is, it's not as good as having your own umbrella."

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Liu Qingyue's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected that in just one day, his attitude would have changed so dramatically.

What exactly happened in between?

Could it be that he gained some powerful ability again?

She had no way of knowing.

All she could say was, as expected of someone with a protagonist's experience.

Liu Qingyue put her index finger on her chin, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she suddenly looked up and saw several figures walking towards them. Then she said, "Junior, why are those people coming towards us? Do you know them?"

"Oh... it seems their target is you."

Seeing that Su Cheng didn't reply, Liu Qingyue frowned, then turned to look at Su Cheng with a worried expression: "Su..."

However, before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly froze, her entire body became as if petrified, standing still on the spot, unable to say a word.

Because Su Cheng had already run off without a trace, leaving only an empty bus stop sign.

...

"What kind of protagonist runs away and leaves a woman behind in this situation?!"

Seeing the direction Su Cheng disappeared in, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but complain inwardly.

She really hadn't expected that this Su Cheng would be so cowardly, even leaving her behind and running away.

Could it be that he saw through my identity?

She thought for a moment, then shook her head.

After all, in the entire school, only the young mistress knew her true identity.

"It seems online novels really are something without substance."

Thinking back and forth, Liu Qingyue couldn't figure it out. So, she could only laugh self-mockingly in disappointment, believing that Su Cheng was just an ordinary person with strange behavior.

Everything before was just her own imagination.

Just as she was sighing in disappointment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her ear. She turned her head and saw a scene she would never forget, her expression instantly stunned.

"Senior, run!"

Su Cheng was running in the middle of the road, with three wolf dogs following behind him. These three wolf dogs were the pets of one of the school's VIP students. For some unknown reason, they were now chasing after Su Cheng, even carrying cigarettes in their mouths, appearing to be in pursuit of Su Cheng.

As for this school's VIP level, her young mistress was among them.

"I miscalculated..."

This was an extremely terrifying scene, making her draw in a sharp breath when she saw it. Because if her subordinates chose to harm these dogs, they would definitely be held responsible. These dogs were all that person's treasures.

"Everyone run! These dogs specialize in bottom lane!"

Su Cheng shouted to the people in front while running. His voice was very loud, everyone heard it. Immediately, all the people around fled the scene, afraid that these fierce wolf dogs would rush up and bite them.

Strangely, with his shout, those three dogs suddenly accelerated, like wild horses off their reins, charging towards the few people not far behind Liu Qingyue.

"Woo... Wow..."

"Even specializing in bottom lane."

Liu Qingyue's face suddenly changed upon hearing this, her mind going blank.

Although the three dogs passed by her, the people behind her were all her men. Now she could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Despicable outsider!"

"It's Young Miss Danxue's dogs!"

The few people behind her reacted, their expressions changing. They all cried out in shock, with terrified looks on their faces. After shouting "Run!" they all scattered and fled for their lives.

But these dogs were like shadows, relentlessly pursuing them, frightening them so much that their livers trembled. They hurriedly used all their strength to run for their lives.

"Senior Liu."

Su Cheng came to Liu Qingyue's side, patted his chest, and said with lingering fear: "That scared me to death, I thought I was going to be bitten by dogs."

"Are you hurt?"

Senior Liu forced an awkward smile.

She felt very frustrated inside. She clearly knew the dogs were brought by Su Cheng, but she could only pretend to be unaware.

"Of course not, I ran pretty fast."

"That's good. That scene just now really scared me to death."

Liu Qingyue also patted her chest with a lingering fear expression, then continued: "By the way, where did you go just now? How did you end up being chased by dogs?"

Su Cheng said with a frustrated look: "I was just about to go to the bathroom, when these three dogs suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started chasing me. Of course I had to run, but I didn't know where to run, so I instinctively ran here."

Su Cheng didn't care whether Liu Qingyue believed him or not, and continued to seriously talk nonsense: "There are still more good people in this world. Those few big guys behind Senior just now actually sacrificed themselves to attract the dogs' attention, that's how I was saved. I'm really grateful to them. After they pass away, I'll definitely set up a pillar... no, I mean pay them a visit to express my gratitude."

"Is... is that so?"

Liu Qingyue's mouth twitched, then she turned to look at the few subordinates behind her who were being chased up and down by the dogs. Her expression was very rich, with anger, helplessness, sadness, and a bit of regret... in short, a mix of emotions.

"Blackie, Greyie, Brownie~"

At this moment, a girl hurriedly ran out from the crowd, constantly calling out the names of the three dogs. She was wearing a school uniform, with tears on her face, and holding several leashes in her hand, truly a pitiful sight.

She had just gone to the bathroom, and the dogs at the door had all disappeared. So she started searching in panic.

But when she saw her dogs constantly chasing people in front, she became anxious too, constantly calling out, but her dogs simply wouldn't listen to her. So she stood by the roadside with a face full of anxiety and unease, not knowing what to do.

But surprisingly, the next second those three dogs suddenly stopped, as if hearing their owner's call. They ran directly towards the girl, while the people originally being chased by the dogs took the opportunity to run away.

Liu Qingyue confirmed that none of her subordinates were injured and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the young girl burst into tears of joy and quickly ran to the three dogs, tying them up with a rope.

At that moment, a bus arrived, and the two of them boarded it.

"Are you really not going to join a club?"

Liu Qingyue looked at Su Cheng again with concern.

"I currently have no intention of joining a club. After all, my reputation is already so bad; no matter how much I improve, it will still be bad."

Joining a club would mean getting home at five every day, and he no longer needed protection.

As for that S-level threat, if the other party dared to make a move, he would naturally show them the power of a transmigrator.

Today was just the beginning.

"It's good that you know your reputation is bad,"

Liu Qingyue said, glaring at him with a mix of frustration and disappointment, "So you're just going to let these rumors spread throughout the academy?"

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who 'climbs the social ladder'?"

Su Cheng asked seriously, his eyes fixed on her without blinking.

"Although we've only known each other for a few days, I don't think you are."

Liu Qingyue replied seriously.

"That's enough then,"

Su Cheng said with a carefree shrug, "As long as you, Senior, don't think I'm that kind of person, it doesn't matter what others say."

In a certain villa,

Ji Qingyi was brewing tea beside a tea set, holding a purple sand teapot with practiced and graceful movements. Her face remained as cold and emotionless as ever.

The tea cup in front of her was steaming, releasing a strong aroma that invigorated the spirit and refreshed the mind.

"Miss, he didn't go to the club today,"

Ji Yuewu said respectfully, bowing her head.

"Mm,"

Ji Qingyi responded faintly, then lifted her gaze to Ji Yuewu, her voice calm and icy, "It seems you've been outmaneuvered by him, which is somewhat surprising to me."

Her tone was even, as if stating an insignificant fact, yet it carried a strong sense of pressure.

Ji Yuewu's expression slightly changed, but she quickly regained her composure, continuing to bow her head, "I will find another way to make them meet."

"No need,"

Ji Qingyi interrupted her calmly, then took a sip of the fragrant tea, slowly saying, "Since he doesn't go to the Practice Department, he can come to the Archery Club instead. Tomorrow, I will personally invite him."

Her tone remained unruffled, as if saying something trivial, but it made Ji Yuewu's heart tremble.
