Chapter 172: Frightening Amusement Than Test Courage

Bitting to her lips, Ji Gu Na was sure that Xiao Yun would become a big rock in her path to Xue Xiu Yong if she kept on attaching herself to him. Xiao Yun walked a little to the side to avoid Zhuang Huan Wu who still kept on staying beside her even though he had finished his matter. 

After some time passed, the teacher moved for the next combination to go to the course. "Twenty three!" 

"It's our turn, Xiao Yun!" Ji Gu Na captured Xiao Yun's hand and quickly brought her to the entrance of the forest with excitement. A glint passed from Xiao Yun's eyes from her overfriendliness. 

"You are quite friendly, aren't you classmate Ji?" Xiao Yun began to speak a few meters after they entered the course. 

"Is that so? Maybe I just feel comfortable with you." Ji Gu Na replied smoothly, unwrapping her hands from Xiao Yun to walk in advance. 

Xiao Yun giggled faintly. "But are you sure it would be alright with you to get close to me?" 

Ji Gu Na halted her step in surprise. She took a turn and forced a smile. "W- What do you mean?" 

"I mean, I'm sure many people have seen the gossips written in the school forum and I found it hard to see anyone especially stranger would get this close with me." 

"T- That's because I've never read the school forum." Ji Gu Na replied in haste, making sure that Xiao Yun wouldn't suspect her of anything.

Xiao Yun replied with a simple oh and continued to walk. Seeing her guardless question, Ji Gu Na drew out a relieved breath. 

"Did you hear about my bullying?" Xiao Yun asked again, filling the silence of the forest with their words. 

"You were bullied?" Ji Gu Na asked in worry.  They had arrived in the middle of the intersection and Ji Gu Na took off the signboard before Xiao Yun noticed it and spoke. "We should go to the right."

Xiao Yun nodded and followed Ji Gu Na's lead without a guard on. "Well, they began by throwing water to my book, ripping each page, swearing me to death for some unknown reasons." Xiao Yun explained. 

'Unknown reasons? You stole my darling Xue Xiu Yong, you stealing bitch!' Ji Gu Na cursed, her eyes were blazing in jealousy. "That's frightening." 

"Right?" Xiao Yun turned her face, "It's quite horrible for me to suffer. Two days ago, they planted a cutter box blade under my desk." 

"Did it hurt?" Ji Gu Na faked a frightened face in.

Xiao Yun smiled faintly. "Very. Because of this many people were worried about me and to be honest, I'm feeling very irritated to the person who did this. They harmed me and mad my friends and boyfriend to worry about me." 

Ji Gu Na narrowed her eyes on the words that Xiao Yun mentioned. "Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?" 

"Yes. A kind and handsome one that always protects me from behind." Xiao Yun smiled and turned her face to see the distortion written well on Ji Gu Na's face. 

"I- Is it Xue Xiu Yong?" Ji Gu Na asked, her lips pressed into a thin line. 

Xiao Yun ignored her question and continued. "You know, I have a fairly good memory. I have heard the story directly from Xue Xiu Yong, the bullying story of that happened in middle school. A girl in his class was subjected to frightening bullying that forced her to stop coming from school in fear. Xue Xiu Yong said that he had pulled the root of the bullying and made them regret what they did but I think he missed one person when he did that." she smiled mildly toward Ji Gu Na's dark expression, "You, Ms. Ji Gu Na." 

"W- What are you saying? I- I don't understand what you mean." 

"Don't understand? Well, let me explained it to you. You worked with the head leader of Xue Xiu Yong's fan club, the person who actually manipulated her own friends to do the evil deed. You know, there are only four people who are still in the same school as Xue Xiu Yong after graduation. I have seen all the pictures from the middle school graduation album of Xue Xiu Yong's class and checked it with the list of students on the whole school. One of the people is you, Ms. Ji Gu Na. The motive and sequence of bullying that you did to me and the victim before was also the same."

"I haven't done such a thing. Please calm yourself down, Xiao Yun. This must be a misunderstanding."

"You can drop off your facade here Classmate Ji. Su She In has told everything. Including the plan that you gave her to."

"P- Plan? What plan? I have never spoken to such a person before!" 

"I know what you have been trying to pull since we enter the forest. Leading me to a path that would lead me to the nearest cliff of this forest. You must have been planning on threatening to push me off the cliff until I submit to your condition of never getting close to Xue Xiu Yong, aren't you?"

"W- What?"

"When I told you that my hand was harmed by the cutter box, did you forgot what you said? 'Did it hurt'? Usually, people would have asked if I was hurt because I haven't filled you in about my hand that was harmed." 

"That because of the school forum!" Ji Gu Na covered her loose mouth instantly. 

"But I remember you said you have not read the school forum and if you did, I think you would have known I was bullied and would choose to speak less with me and yet you are overfriendly. Unless people who have done the crime, they would be fearless. Also, you introduce asked me who is Xue Xiu Yong, but why? You have been in the same class with him and as a person with so many fans around the school, I doubt that you didn't know him."

"That's because I was- I was..." Ji Gu Na didn't know what to say in panic, her eyes blurred as she understood that she has no way out in this. 

"The signboard that should have been in the previous intersection, I can't seem to find it when it was supposed to be there. Isn't that because you walked first before me and took it off? You don't have any bag with you and I don't think you would throw it away as the next person would have to follow the signboard. Is it perhaps still on your right hand pocket?"

Ji Gu Na felt the signboard she tried to hide on her right pocket in reflex, her whole situation had turned quickly to dire in a flip of a coin. "How did you know it was me?" 

"How? Well, perhaps when I saw the graduation album." Xiao Yun placed both hands behind and keep down her anger faintly. 

"You're more stupid than I thought, Xiao Yun!" Ji Gu Na exclaimed. "So what if you know I'm the one who bullied you? Do you think you could stop me? Or do you think that people would believe what you say?!" 

Xiao Yun sighed, "Of course I didn't think that." She covered her face with her palm, giving a light shake to her shoulders. "I never thought of getting close to Xue Xiu Yong or anything. He's only my best friend."

"What are you saying?! You b*tch?! I saw you clinging yourself on his arm! I will say this only once, get away from him or you will meet something worst than the cutter box blades!" 

"I have never done that! I know that you are angry but bullying Xiu Yong's friends isn't the right thing to do! If you keep this up, you will end badly." she whispered in her last nine words. 

"Have gone crazy you b*tch?!" Ji Gu Na raised her hand to slap it across Xiao Yun's face but a stern voice came behind. 

"Ji Gu Na!" 

Ji  Gu Na snapped her face behind to see Nie An, Xue Xiu Yong, Zhi Ling Ling, Zhuang Huan Wu, other teachers, and students appeared from behind. Ji Gu Na blinked around to the people surrounding the spot and gasped. Xiao Yun narrowed her eyes over the shock that veiled Ji Gu Na's face. The set up that Xiao Yun gave was a present for Ji Gu Na tonight, a far frightening amusement than the test courage.

Before Xiao Yun went to the hotel this evening, Su She In came toward Xiao Yun with nervousness and agitation came over her face. Xiao Yun realized that it must be something important and walked over to a quieter place.

"What is it, She In? Is there anything wrong?" Xiao Yun worriedly asked when she saw cold sweat covering Su She In's face. "Does your stomach hurts? I have some medicine if you need it."

"N- No." Su She In extended her hand to stop her. "Xiao Yun, actually I have something to tell you. J- Ji. Senior Ji is planning to threaten you near the cliff in the forest tonight. I've tried to speak with her but I think she is still on planning on doing it. I'm sorry for not being able to help you but I heard that you have done many offenses to people around and I believe her. But I have seen with my own eyes that you aren't such a person." tears formed upon Su She In's eyes and Xiao Yun quietly patted her shoulder.
