After Marrying the Cold and Elegant Beauty, I Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 4

The moment the word “police” was mentioned, the three girls visibly began to panic.

They had no real ability to begin with and were not in the right at all. It was just that once the three of them banded together, they gained some inexplicable confidence.

“You don’t have any evidence, so don’t spout nonsense. This is slander. Senior Long, look at them! They suddenly came here out of nowhere to cause trouble.”

Seeing that she could not win against Han Shuangshuang, the girl immediately ran behind Long Aodi to seek protection.

The other two girls also stood up and nodded one after another. “How is it as scary as she makes it sound? Shen Yuru didn’t leave anything here at all. Although she lived here before, she only came back occasionally, and sometimes she stayed out all night. We didn’t even know what she was doing. We kindly showed concern, but she ignored us completely. She never paid any of the dorm expenses and never cleaned either. Her family background is good, so the counselor never cared. As for those things, how were we supposed to know how much they were worth? Besides, after being left there for so long, they’d expire if they weren’t used. So what if we used a little? Now the things have already been used, and the moment you open your mouth, you say they’re worth thousands or tens of thousands. Han Shuangshuang’s family has power and influence. Even her entrance into this university was bought with her family’s money. You keep saying you’ll call the police, but when the time comes, who knows whose side the police will take? Aren’t you just deliberately trying to scare us? If this blows up, the school will definitely side with us.”

Shen Yuru turned on her phone.

Originally, she had not wanted to get involved.

But for some reason, looking at these people’s faces, she suddenly did not want to let them get their way so easily.

Shen Yuru’s hair was very long and carried a faint fragrance. Its color was a pale black, with a slight brown sheen.

When Shen Yuru lowered her head, a few strands of hair accidentally brushed against Han Shuangshuang’s face.

Han Shuangshuang looked at the system interface, which showed that Shen Yuru’s blackening value had dropped by one percent, and suddenly felt gratified.

Sure enough, villains were not formed in a single day.

These people were like snowflake after snowflake on a snowy mountain. When the avalanche came, not a single person would be innocent.

Thinking of her own future ending, Han Shuangshuang shivered all over. Her belief that she had to support Shen Yuru became even firmer.

“These are the purchase records for my belongings. Some of the items that haven’t been used up are still on the desk. Everyone can check them one by one. The reason I didn’t live in the dorm was because I was constantly being excluded. It was only because of the school rules that I hadn’t gone out to find a place to live before. Now that I’m a junior, the counselor has approved my request to live off campus. It’s just that they snatched away my key. Whenever I wanted to come back and get my things, they either refused to open the door or pretended they weren’t here. I didn’t want to make this matter bigger, but there is also such a thing as going too far.”

Shen Yuru spoke slowly, but her enunciation was clear. In an unhurried manner, she explained the matter plainly.

Even if those three girls wanted to keep pretending, they could no longer keep the expressions on their faces steady.

“Who knows whether those purchase records of yours are Photoshopped? Usually, you’re so hard to deal with, but now that there are more people around, you’re pretending to be pitiful. How shameless.”

The girl hiding behind Long Aodi muttered unwillingly. Although she deliberately lowered her voice, everyone present could still hear it. The other two girls also curled their lips into smug smiles.

Han Shuangshuang was about to explode with anger. She felt like even the strands of her hair were about to stand up.

She had actually encountered something this worldview-shattering the moment she transmigrated into the book.

Han Shuangshuang no longer wasted words. “No need to say all that useless stuff. We’ll call the police directly. Also, I already recorded everything you said just now and saved it. You’re suspected of insulting and defaming someone, as well as secretly using someone else’s property. If you have anything you want to argue, say it to the police. Let’s see whether the police will buy this act of yours.”

Han Shuangshuang dialed the number directly, her attitude especially firm.

The three girls had originally thought that once Long Aodi arrived, he would definitely turn a major issue into a minor one, and then turn the minor issue into nothing.

At worst, they would simply apologize.

They had not expected that after getting carried away for one careless moment, they would anger Han Shuangshuang so badly that she would call the police directly.

“What exactly is your relationship with Shen Yuru? This is between us and her. It’s not your place to stand here pointing fingers!”

“Hey, now you’ve really triggered my temper.” Han Shuangshuang had lived this long and had never met someone so capable of reversing black and white. They were like death-row prisoners who still refused to admit it even when the evidence had been slapped right onto their faces.

“I don’t need to have any kind of relationship with Shen Yuru. When I see injustice on the road, I draw my blade to help. It’s the same logic as walking halfway down the road and running into two dogs barking wildly at people. Anyone would kick them twice.”

Han Shuangshuang’s phone kept making beeping sounds.

The two girls who had gathered closer from behind the doorway could not hold out anymore. Their faces filled with panic, and one of them snatched the phone from Han Shuangshuang’s hand.

Long Aodi also had not expected the matter to develop into this in the end. He had kindly come over to mediate, but Han Shuangshuang and Shen Yuru simply did not appreciate his goodwill.

Han Shuangshuang also had not expected them to jump the wall like desperate dogs.

“We know we were wrong. Please don’t call the police. I know her things were very expensive, but everyone else was using them. If I didn’t use them, they would exclude me too. If the police are called and I’m taken in, I’ll receive disciplinary punishment and get expelled from school. My mom and dad have supported my studies all these years just so I can make something of myself. If I don’t graduate from university, then I’ll never be able to find a job in this life. I’ll only be able to marry some greasy man, get pressured by my mother-in-law to have children, and desperately give birth for her—three kids in two years. I don’t want that. Please, I really know I was wrong.”

After one person began apologizing, the psychological defenses of the other two also started to collapse.

“It was that girl. She was the mastermind. She was the one who couldn’t stand Shen Yuru the most. Because Long Aodi and Shen Yuru had been getting close, she was jealous and deliberately took revenge on Shen Yuru. And those letters Shen Yuru is holding, along with the things in the other cardboard boxes, were all deliberately soaked with water by her. It has nothing to do with us.”

That girl was so frightened that even her lips were trembling.

Han Shuangshuang discovered that people with the most wicked intentions were often exactly the sort who dared to do things but did not dare admit them.

Han Shuangshuang wanted to step forward and snatch back her phone, but Shen Yuru reached out a hand and stopped her.

Long Aodi turned back and heard the sound of the dorm supervisor coming upstairs.

This was the girls’ dormitory. Without an approval slip from the school, people could not casually enter.

But he was rather popular at school, so when the dorm supervisor was not around, the girls had brought him inside.

He had not expected this matter to take so long to handle, nor had he achieved the result he wanted.

Shen Yuru lifted her eyes with a cold expression. Without the slightest emotion, she looked at the three girls, like a queen high above looking down on meaningless ants. Everything those ants did was, in her eyes, nothing more than a joke. If she was in the mood, she would lower her head and take a look. If she was not, those ants would never be able to stir up any waves in her palm.

“We are all classmates. Of course I won’t push things too far. As long as you tell me who came into this dorm and touched my things while I was away.”

Since Shen Yuru had spoken, Han Shuangshuang could not very well say anything more. She could only angrily snatch her phone back.

The three girls hemmed and hawed, but they did not explain much clearly.

They gave a few names. Han Shuangshuang only had a vague impression of them, but she could not remember who they were.

There was no helping it. She had skipped through the later plot too quickly, so she also could not remember these even less important supporting characters.

Long Aodi looked slightly embarrassed, but he had no choice except to turn around and leave.

When the three girls saw that their backer had left, they became even more cowardly. They wanted to come over and apologize, but because that arrogant girl had secretly poured water on Shen Yuru’s cardboard box again at noon, the dorm floor was still a little wet after being mopped. The two girls took steps that were a little too large and crashed straight into each other. By accident, they pitched forward, dropped to their knees, and slid all the way to Shen Yuru’s feet.

The arrogant girl’s expression turned somewhat awkward.

If she did not kneel, it would make her seem insincere.

But if she knelt before Shen Yuru, would that not make her lose too much face?

The other two girls, however, did not care about that anymore. Afraid that this girl would drag them down with her, they directly grabbed her sleeves and forcibly pulled her down. The arrogant girl lost her balance and accidentally sprawled flat on the ground, her mouth landing perfectly on the surface of Shen Yuru’s shoe.

Han Shuangshuang silently swallowed.

Sure enough, one really could not be too arrogant. Otherwise, the ending would be awkward, embarrassing, and miserable.

The corner of Shen Yuru’s mouth curved into a cold smile.

With slight disgust, she withdrew her shoe, then turned and left.

Han Shuangshuang immediately followed after her.

[System: Warm reminder to Host. Shen Yuru’s blackening value has decreased by 2%. Shen Yuru’s current blackening value is 97%.]

Han Shuangshuang, being good at reading the room, took the slightly damp cardboard box from Shen Yuru’s hands.

Shen Yuru coughed softly a few times.

“Sister Shen isn’t feeling well, so I’ll help Sister Shen carry these. Has Sister Shen already found a place outside? Are you going to live outside now?”

Shen Yuru shook her head. “It hasn’t been completely cleaned up yet, so it can’t be lived in for the time being. But they should tidy up their own things. I’ll be staying in the dorm these next few days.”

Han Shuangshuang widened her puppy eyes, somewhat shocked. “Is Sister Shen not afraid they’ll retaliate?”

Shen Yuru did not answer Han Shuangshuang’s question. “Thank you so much for today. Otherwise, this matter would not have been resolved so easily. I was planning to throw the cardboard boxes away later after organizing the things inside.”

[System: Because the female supporting character in the plot does not have much of a brain, Host’s personal behavior cannot be too out of line and break the female supporting character’s character setting. Therefore, please follow Shen Yuru’s words and ask Shen Yuru for a benefit in exchange for your help.

Benefit One: Ask for Shen Yuru’s personal clothing. Create the image of a perverted secret admirer and reduce the abruptness of Host standing up for Shen Yuru today.

Benefit Two: Ask for the wisdom in Shen Yuru’s brain. Create the image of a perverted scumbag coveting the top student’s grades and dispel Shen Yuru’s suspicion toward Host’s sudden closeness.]

Han Shuangshuang watched as Shen Yuru took the cardboard box from her hands. Her fists clenched tightly.

She gritted her teeth and forced out a smile with great effort, barely keeping her entire expression from collapsing.

So even the system knew that asking for benefits like this was perverted.

How thoughtful of it, even giving her choices.

It was letting her walk from one kind of pervert toward another kind of pervert.

Shen Yuru’s phoenix eyes curved rarely, revealing a faint, gentle smile.

Cold sweat had already broken out on Han Shuangshuang’s forehead.

Standing before her was the terrifying future great villain whose blackening value had only just dropped to ninety-seven.

She had spent enormous effort to lower Shen Yuru’s blackening value by 3%. If she pulled something like this and made Shen Yuru’s blackening value explode past the limit, what if Shen Yuru killed her on the spot?

[System: Host, if one is not perverted, one is cannon fodder in vain.]

Wow! Then this really was like yellow mud in one’s pants—if it wasn’t crap, it still looked like crap.
