Bullying the Little Beauty [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Ning Ruan had cried for so long that his head felt dizzy. With his eyes rimmed red, he could only reach out his arms to demand a hug from Gu Hui. “I don’t want him… or them. You hold me.”
In Ning Ruan’s heart, Gu Hui was the only one who hadn’t bullied him. Gu Hui gave him berries; Gu Hui was the least likely person to hurt him.
Gu Hui felt as if he had hit the jackpot again. He quickly grabbed Ning Ruan’s small blanket and held him through the fabric.
His movements were cautious, as if Ning Ruan were a porcelain doll that would shatter at a touch. Gu Hui’s heart softened completely at the sound of the crying, and he whispered comforts: “Don’t cry anymore, Ning Ning.”
Crying for too long will make you feel sick.
Distressed, Gu Hui used the blanket to cover the blue and purple marks on Ning Ruan’s legs.
The two men standing nearby, now utterly rejected, stared at Gu Hui with gloomy eyes. They almost simultaneously grit their teeth. “Gu Hui, you were with us all last night. You should know damn well I didn’t bully Ning Ruan.”
Don’t you plan on explaining that to Ning Ruan? Jiang Qingfeng asked with a fake, chilling smile.
Both men were nearly ready to kill, but unfortunately, Gu Hui was the only one Ning Ruan trusted right now.
Chu Yuan’s face was as cold as ice as he commanded. Explain it to Ning Ruan. Now.
Why does Ning Ruan trust Gu Hui?
Just because Gu Hui gave him a few measly berries?
Does he like Gu Hui’s pathetic ability? Does he like ‘weak’ men?
Chu Yuan furrowed his brows, a murderous glint in his eyes. “If you don’t clear this up, believe it or not, I’ll—” kill you right now.
Ning Ruan buried his small face in the crook of Gu Hui’s neck. Terrified by the two men who had suddenly turned aggressive, his eyelashes fluttered wildly and his fingers clutched Gu Hui’s shirt helplessly. “I’m scared. I don’t want them.
Ning Ruan was terrified that the white-haired youth wouldn’t stand by him either, and would join Chu Yuan and Jiang Qingfeng in bullying him.
His voice was trembling piteously. Gu Hui’s heart ached so much he couldn’t speak; he simply shielded Ning Ruan tightly in his arms.
Ning Ruan was so weak and pitiful. If he fell into the hands of those two predatory men, he would be bullied until not even his bones remained.
They were all men—how could he not understand what Chu Yuan and Jiang Qingfeng were thinking?
A little darling like Ning Ruan was so innocent and fragile; they wanted to make it so he could never leave the bed, they wanted his legs to be covered in their marks.
Gu Hui’s gaze gradually hardened. “I won’t let go of him. It’s useless to threaten me. If you want to take Ning Ruan away, you’ll have to kill me first.”
Ultimately, Jiang Qingfeng and Chu Yuan didn’t want to further traumatize Ning Ruan.
Besides, if they killed Gu Hui right in front of him, they would truly never be able to clear their names. Ning Ruan would never have a good impression of them; he would fear them and stay away from them.
Ning Ruan let out a small, reactive shiver. Don’t, don’t kill anyone.
Chu Yuan’s face remained cold. Fine.
Jiang Qingfeng: Okay. Whatever you say goes.
No matter how unwilling they were, they could only leave Gu Hui to soothe Ning Ruan while they walked out of the tent.
None of them had the time to commit the crime last night. Everyone had stepped away for five minutes at most. The marks all over Ning Ruan definitely weren’t made in five minutes.
Those marks were too ambiguous.
If they had actually done it, they wouldn’t have said a word even if Ning Ruan hit them. After all, if they had licked him until there wasn’t a single patch of good skin left, they would have at least been satisfied.
But the key point was: they hadn’t “eaten,” so why should they take the blame?
Chu Yuan said coldly, I only went in once at nine o’clock. I only kissed Ning Ruan’s face.
At ten o’clock, when I went to the bathroom, I only licked Baby’s Jiang Qingfeng seemed to be savoring the memory. Chu Yuan looked ready to punch him.
Where the hell did you lick?
Just licked Baby’s legs. Baby is really so obedient. Recalling the moment, Jiang Qingfeng’s deep blue eyes couldn’t hide his excitement. Ning Ruan really was so good; he had even stepped on Jiang’s face.
Chu Yuan: Dead pervert.
Chu Yuan continued: “That kid [Gu Hui] is also unlikely. He went out twice, but both times he just stood at the entrance, lifting the tent flap to peer inside with a look of pure infatuation.
Let’s just kill everyone else. If everyone is dead, no one will dare covet Baby, Jiang Qingfeng spoke nonchalantly, slowly snapping the head off a shrimp and pulling out the vein.
Ning Ruan might ignore him, but Ning Ruan still needed to eat breakfast.
“He’s worth the effort to find food for,” Jiang Qingfeng added in a flat tone.
If they couldn’t find who bullied Ning Ruan, then they would simply torture everyone to death.
Chu Yuan wasn’t merciful either. Entering a Battle Royale meant that being kind to others was being cruel to oneself.
However, Chu Yuan felt things weren’t that simple. He hadn’t slept all night; he was certain that aside from the three of them, no one had approached the tent.
Brother Jiang, what delicious thing are you roasting? Ning Ta walked over, rubbing his eyes as if he had just woken up.
A slight smile curved Jiang Qingfeng’s lips. Roasted shrimp. Want some?
Ning Ta’s eyes darted around, and he quickly sat down. Brother Jiang clearly isn’t roasting these for me, right? They’re for Ning Ruan? Brother Jiang, do you want me to help you deliver them?
Jiang Qingfeng took the freshly processed shrimp and skewered them onto the wooden sticks he had spent all night carving. His tone was indifferent. “Then, thank you.”
No need for thanks.
Jiang Qingfeng is actually so easy to talk to, Ning Ta thought. He didn’t understand why people called Jiang two-faced. If Jiang Qingfeng got Ning Ruan, maybe he could even have a sip of the soup.
Before Ning Ta’s smile could even fully form, he let out a blood-curdling scream, clutching an eyeball that had been pierced through by a bamboo skewer.
Thick blood flowed down the wooden stick onto the sand. Due to surface tension, the blood droplets rolled the sand grains into their core.
Jiang Qingfeng squeezed Ning Ta’s terrified face. Did the sounds inside the tent hear nice?
Another wooden skewer was thrust into Ning Ta’s other eyeball. You wanted to get close to him too?
The dog Gu Hui was already an unwanted variable.
Ning Ta’s throat produced a scream mixed with the name Ning Ruan. He hadn’t even seen Ning Ruan smile at him yet.
Jiang Qingfeng’s hands were covered in blood. He unhurriedly began to clean up the murder scene.
Naturally, he couldn’t let Ning Ruan see him kill. Ning Ruan was timid; if he saw this much blood, he probably wouldn’t be able to eat. He was already so thin—it would be heartbreaking if he didn’t eat well.
Chu Yuan asked: I’m asking you, was there anything unusual about Ruan-Ruan yesterday?
Chu Yuan was extremely irritable. If a person had bullied Ning Ruan, he could simply kill them like Jiang Qingfeng did, but those were clearly marks left by something like ropes or vines.
He suspected it wasn’t a human at all.
What do you mean? Jiang Qingfeng frowned.
Chu Yuan coldly explained his theory. He couldn’t be by Ning Ruan’s side every second. If it was a monster, it would be best if someone guarded Ning Ruan every single moment.
Ning Ruan huddled in Gu Hui’s arms, extending a fair, tender arm. He whispered aggrievedly, It still hurts.
Ning Ruan was too beautiful. His amber eyes were watery, and the slightly downturned, reddened corners of his eyes made one’s heart race.
Gu Hui was flustered. Suddenly remembering something, he said, Right! Bite me. My blood can heal wounds if you drink it. Drink a little.
Gu Hui didn’t dare let anyone know about his ability. If people knew his blood could heal wounds, he would surely be treated as a “blood bag,” kept around only to be drained whenever needed.
To the outside world, he always claimed his awakened ability was strength, but since he wasn’t actually that strong, he was often mocked for having a weak ability. He survived only because he ran fast and lived a cowardly, cautious life.
Gu Hui bit his finger and held it out to Ning Ruan. Ning Ruan looked at him, stunned.
Gu Hui is a good person, not like Chu Yuan or Jiang Qingfeng.
Ning Ruan couldn’t bring himself to bite Gu Hui. He pursed his full lips. No thank you, it doesn’t hurt that much.
Despite saying that, the corners of his eyes were still drooping, looking incredibly wronged.
Gu Hui spoke up anxiously, Ning Ning, eat! If you don’t, you’ll feel miserable.
Gu Hui saw through Ning Ruan’s thoughts, and his heart softened even further. At the same time, his guilt deepened. Ning Ruan was clearly a soft-hearted, beautiful baby, yet he had previously thought Ning Ruan was some kind of vixen.
Gu Hui’s cheeks turned red. Even if Ning Ruan is a fox, he’s a pure, innocent little fox baby.
Gu Hui: But it’s a waste if you don’t eat it. You can’t eat that much anyway.
As he spoke, Gu Hui rubbed his finger against Ning Ruan’s lips, lightly smearing the blood. Before Ning Ruan could react, his tongue instinctively licked the tip of Gu Hui’s finger.
Ning Ruan: ?
It’s sweet.
Gu Hui’s blood wasn’t like other people’s; it didn’t have a heavy metallic smell. Instead, it was sweet.
Ning Ruan’s soft tongue couldn’t help but lick it once, and then again.
Gu Hui stared blankly at Ning Ruan. Such an obedient little fox.
It seemed his “trouble-attracting” ability wasn’t so useless after all. His power wasn’t that bad. At least, Ning Ruan seemed to like it.
After a few sips, Ning Ruan reluctantly licked his lips. Gu Hui’s blood was so sweet, but, but it wasn’t right to keep biting someone’s finger.
Gu Hui held his finger up. Are you not eating anymore?
Ning Ruan shook his head, licking the last bit of crimson from his lips. He shyly pushed Gu Hui’s hand back. I don’t feel bad anymore. I’m done.
The little fox cub still had a thin mist in his eyes. Even though he had just licked someone’s blood, he looked exceptionally pure and innocent.
He said he was done, but he couldn’t hide the way his eyes kept drifting back to the finger.
A greedy but restrained baby.
