As the third button popped out, the buttons scattered on the ground suddenly "whooshed" through the air.
The three evil beings didn't even have a chance to dodge. The buttons were like three bullets ejected from a gun barrel, directly blowing the heads of the three evil beings. Blood spurted everywhere. They didn't even have time to say a word before they fell to the ground.
The scene in front of me was too shocking. I let out a scream in horror, only to unexpectedly find that I could make a sound.
Even more astonishing was that I had swapped positions with Dan Zhu. Now it was Dan Zhu who was being tortured, while I was sitting in Man Yue's place.
How could this happen? Why did we swap positions? Before I could react...
A tall and gloomy figure slowly emerged behind me. The familiar sandalwood scent instantly filled my nostrils. I didn't need to think twice to know who was standing behind me.
I turned around carefully, just in time to meet Gu Yuan's icy eyes. They were so terrifying. I had only seen these eyes when I first met him, and just one look was enough to make my heart skip a beat.
On the opposite side, Dan Zhu had tape on her mouth. She kept stomping her feet and making muffled sounds.
Gu Yuan gave a look to Wu Qingyun beside him. At the order, Wu Qingyun stepped forward and tore the tape off Dan Zhu's mouth.
"Lan Lan, I was kind enough to help you. Why are you treating me like this..."
Me? What on earth did Man Yue do? The current situation in front of me made it seem as if I was taking revenge on Dan Zhu.
"What on earth is going on?" Gu Yuan demanded sharply.
Wu Qingyun untied the ropes binding Dan Zhu. With a "thud", she knelt in front of Gu Yuan and sobbed pitifully:
"Lan Lan invited me to meet here at ten o'clock, saying she wanted to explain today's misunderstanding. I agreed. But I arrived a bit early, and I saw her with those three men..."
She hesitated, her face blushing deeply. Skipping this part, she continued, "Then she begged me not to tell you and even poured me tea to apologize. Who would have thought that it was a drug that would temporarily deprive me of my magical power. Then I was tied up here and almost..." She burst into sobs.
To be honest, I was so angry at this moment that I could feel my lungs about to explode. I picked up a book on the desk and threw it at Dan Zhu.
"You're talking nonsense! Who exactly drugged whom? You'd better explain it clearly." As I spoke, I raised my leg and kicked at her.
But Gu Yuan was beside me. With a gentle embrace, he pulled me back into his arms.
Wu Qingyun beside him even stepped forward to check on Dan Zhu's condition.
"Third Master, she was indeed drugged with a drug that drains magical power."
At this point, I was speechless.
"Gu Yuan, believe me. I didn't do it. I've never even heard of such a drug." My eyes were filled with pleading, hoping that he wouldn't believe Dan Zhu's lies.
Gu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked down at me from above. His eyes were so scary.
"No wonder you didn't go home. So you've been secretly hooking up with people here. Lan Lan, you're really capable..."
Gu Yuan's figure gradually approached. I was really scared. I took small steps backward until I hit the desk and couldn't retreat any further.
I nervously looked for another way out, but Gu Yuan grabbed my waist and made me sit halfway on the desk.
"What... what are you doing?" My hands weakly supported me behind my back.
Gu Yuan got closer and closer. His thigh pressed between my legs. His lips exhaled a cold breath beside my ear, "Where did they touch you?"
My current position was so embarrassing that I wanted to escape his embrace immediately.
But Gu Yuan's strength was too great. It was even difficult for me to turn around.
"Here?" Gu Yuan's hand grabbed my waist and then slid diagonally upward.
"Or here?"
I struggled desperately, not wanting him to touch me. I shouted at the top of my lungs, asking him to let go and listen to my explanation. I was really framed.
"Gu Yuan, let me go. Please. You're hurting me. Ah..."
The more I struggled, the tighter his hold became.
"Do you plan to watch our live show?" Gu Yuan roared at Dan Zhu. Wu Qingyun quickly pulled Fairy Dan Zhu out of the room.
I saw a smug smile on Dan Zhu's face as she walked out.
I was really furious. Taking advantage of Gu Yuan's inattention, I bit his arm hard. He winced in pain and flung his arm. I quickly crouched down and escaped.
Unexpectedly, the classroom door was locked. I pulled the doorknob desperately, but it wouldn't budge.
On the opposite side, Gu Yuan gently stroked the tooth mark I left on his arm. It was very deep, and there was a bloodstain on his fair skin.
I was really scared by him, which was why I did that.
"Sure enough, you can't be tamed."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." I felt a bit guilty but also a bit scared.
My body was already weak, and with today's scare, my feet felt like they were stepping on cotton. I leaned against the door, struggling to stand firmly.
Gu Yuan's cold eyes were like the icy water in a deep pool, emitting a cold light. I couldn't help but shiver.
With each step he took, a chair flew out beside him. The chairs crashed heavily on the desks. The noise made me scream in fear.
I closed my eyes and squatted on the ground, unable to believe that this was the Gu Yuan I knew.
Until he approached me and pressed me against the desk. He murmured in my ear, "Sorry, did I scare you?"
I was stunned for a few seconds and looked at him with a dazed expression. What on earth was going on?
"Don't be afraid. We have to act the whole thing out. Someone wants to see us turn against each other. Then let's perform for her."
I was hiding under Gu Yuan's body. His eyes returned to their usual tenderness. He said softly, "Silly girl, how could I not believe you? It was a last - ditch move. I didn't have time to explain it to you clearly. I'm sorry. I'll definitely avenge you for this."
The room suddenly became extremely quiet. Gu Yuan thought it was inappropriate and kicked out two more chairs.
I let out a startled scream. Gu Yuan curled his lips into a mischievous smile and said, "Keep going. This way it will be more realistic."
I didn't understand what he meant. Then he pressed his lips against my ear and whispered, "Scream louder. Otherwise, we won't attract anyone."
When he said this, I suddenly felt embarrassed. My face blushed all the way to my neck.
"Who are you trying to attract?" I asked in a low voice.
"Man Yue is eavesdropping outside."
My expression was a bit confused.
"You know it's Man Yue? Why don't you expose her directly?"
"I suspect there's someone else pulling the strings behind her, trying to sow discord between us, make me give up protecting you, and then try to win you over and get something from you."
"What could be on me?" I asked in confusion.
"My intuition tells me it must have something to do with your past life, but I just can't remember." For the first time, I saw anxiety on Gu Yuan's face.
When Gu Yuan said this, I seemed to remember what Man Yue said. She said there was a huge secret on me.
"Don't stop. Keep screaming. If you're in trouble, that person won't be able to stay away."
I didn't pursue the matter further. It was better to cooperate with Gu Yuan first.
"Ah... Ah..." I screamed a couple of times and whispered, "Is this okay?"
"Louder." Gu Yuan had a charming smile on his face. It seemed like he was deliberately teasing me.
I turned my head angrily and ignored him.
"I won't scream. It sounds too ugly."
He didn't say a word. His eyes slowly slid from my blushing face and landed on the area below my collarbone.
The knife wound there was still vivid. The wound hadn't fully healed yet, and the sticky blood was half - dry and stuck to the wound. It was quite eye - catching.
Gu Yuan gently stroked the swollen wound with his palm. His cold and handsome eyes were filled with pain and deep gloom.
"I'm sorry. I'm late. I let you get hurt again."
As he spoke, he pressed his slightly cool lips against my hot wound. I shivered all over in shock.
"Uh..." A cool sensation spread from where Gu Yuan kissed. I involuntarily let out a low moan of confusion.
Gu Yuan's way of treating my wounds was always so special. Just when I was almost lost, the classroom door suddenly opened.
