The System Wants Me To Learn To Be A 'Green Tea' (Quick Transmigration) - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

The sincerity and heartbreaking vulnerability on her face made people feel pity, as if she were the one lying on the ground. But when they looked at the unconscious person on the floor, everyone couldn’t help but shiver.

To jam the door earlier, they had used the mop to wedge the handle, and it couldn’t be opened without considerable force. Yet, Ye Linmu had kicked the mop handle clean off…

No one dared to imagine what the consequences would be if that kick landed on someone’s body.

The complexions of the people outside cycled between green, white, and back again. Finally, they could only swallow and loudly bluster: “Ye Linmu, you wait! You’ve injured a classmate like this; the school will definitely hold you responsible!”

With that, they hurried away, carrying the injured person and not daring to look back, afraid that if Ye Linmu snapped out of it, she would kill them all right there.

Judging by the strength of Ye Linmu’s kick, they could completely guess what she was capable of.

After their pathetic departure, Ye Linmu patted the water off her clothes, took off her jacket and rinsed it under the faucet, casually washing away the unpleasant smell. She also rinsed her hair, then wrung out the jacket and left.

With her hair down and a lingering odor on her, and since it was P.E. class, the area was deserted. She simply climbed over the school wall and skipped class.

P.E. class was a rare moment of relaxation for third-year students.

She slipped away without anyone noticing, which was why Chen Zhou felt things had been quiet recently.

Knowing the methods of those girls, Ye Linmu was waiting for their final move.

According to the logic of both novels and reality, they would always have different tactics to make her submit, but…

Ye Linmu patted non-existent dirt off her hands, glancing down at the completely undisguised figures following her. She curved her lips. It had been several days; it was time.

These people were getting impatient.

Perhaps due to the novel’s setup, her home was located in a rather remote area, requiring her to pass through a dark, secluded alley. Usually, hardly anyone walked through there, and those who did were always hurrying, not daring to linger for long.

Ye Linmu looked at the alley and walked in without hesitation.

The few people behind her watched her enter, looked at the alley that was dark and deserted even during the day, tested the weight of the sticks in their hands, and collectively followed her in.

The System looked at the solid iron rods in their hands and couldn’t help but swallow: “Host, I feel like these people are planning to kill you. Those are solid baseball bats!”

It felt an implicit unease. Was the Host going to be beaten to death this time?

Although the original plot said the Host survived, she ended up with a crippled leg. Furthermore, this alley was terrifyingly dark. Thugs often frequented it, and the surveillance cameras that were installed were always broken. Since those people often chose to smash the cameras in their blind spots, there was no way to catch anyone, and eventually, no one bothered to manage the area anymore.

This small alley was a legendary “no-man’s-land,” with extremely low foot traffic, and frequent chaos, which even the police found troublesome.

Ye Linmu’s ears twitched. The group didn’t bother to hide their movements. The confusing and noisy footsteps created a strong sense of oppression. If it were anyone else, they would have panicked and run, fearing capture.

But Ye Linmu wasn’t anyone else. She was someone who wished for chaos so she could fish in troubled waters.

As she deliberately quickened her pace, the others sped up as well. Just as they were about to rush forward to stop her, Ye Linmu suddenly stopped, turned around, and faced them calmly and composedly.

Seeing Zhuo Rui leading the group, Ye Linmu’s lips, usually innocently pursed, now curved into a slight, interested smile—a stark contrast to her usual demeanor at school.

“Ye Linmu!”

Zhuo Rui gritted her teeth, tightening her grip on the baseball bat: “You were faking it after all!”

She had always disliked Ye Linmu, always pretending to be innocent and sticking to the person she shouldn’t stick to.

Although she didn’t want to admit it on the surface, deep down, she harbored an intense, possessive obsession with Chen Zhou. She carefully and cautiously treated Chen Zhou, hoping the other girl would look back at her. In that case, even without a confession or a relationship, she could endure it for a lifetime.

But everything changed after Ye Linmu appeared. She attracted all of Chen Zhou’s attention and made Chen Zhou do things that were completely out of character.

Zhuo Rui was jealous; she was going mad with jealousy.

Why!

Why could this little ‘green tea’ who only transferred here less than a year ago be more important than someone who had been Chen Zhou’s classmate for two years?!

So when Ye Linmu directly exposed her inner thoughts, she became angry out of humiliation and spoke thoughtlessly, but those were not her true inner feelings.

She couldn’t face Chen Zhou’s disappointed and guarded eyes, and even less could she bear to see the other girl’s disgusted look, so she pushed all the blame onto Ye Linmu.

“It’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, how could I…”

The words that were about to spill out were forcefully suppressed. She glared fiercely with red eyes: “Today, you’ll pay the price for your actions!”

“Go! Give her a piece of your mind today!”

As her voice fell, the other six girls carrying baseball bats stepped forward and surrounded Ye Linmu. Ye Linmu remained completely unfazed. She just stood in the middle, her eyes playful.

The girl lagging behind, who was holding a camera in one hand and a lollipop in her mouth, had pink curly hair. She wore exaggerated smoky makeup and cherry-colored lipstick. She casually pulled out a folding chair, sat down leisurely, crossed her legs, and turned on the camera.

“Don’t actually kill her.”

Her voice was lazy: “It won’t be fun if someone dies. Strip her naked and take a video. When we get bored, we can find a few people to come and play with her. We can even sell the body for some spending money.”

“I heard her parents died and left her quite a bit of inheritance. Doing this right in front of her parents’ memorial tablets might make it even more exciting.”

“Hahaha!”

Upon hearing this, several girls burst into malicious laughter.

This wasn’t the first time this group had done such things. Previously, in another city, they had bullied a classmate and forced her into illegal activities. The classmate couldn’t bear the bullying and jumped off a building.

Although the girl didn’t die, the incident caused quite a stir at the time.

The parents of these few girls were wealthy, and since the victim’s daughter was paralyzed and required a lot of money in the ICU, they couldn’t afford the support. With the pressure from these girls’ parents and the school, the victim’s family was finally forced to sign a letter of understanding.

To minimize the impact on these girls, they were sent to this town. However, these girls were already accustomed to cruelty, and their parents’ spoiling had made them lawless. Instead of reflecting, their behavior worsened.

Ye Linmu wasn’t the only one they targeted. However, those other victims weren’t coerced into making money like before. Instead, they were treated as pets, summoned and dismissed at will. When the girls were in a bad mood or feeling wronged, they would be punched and kicked.

Most of those victims came from poor families, had mediocre grades, and were not easily noticed by teachers. Their parents often worked out of town year-round or they were simply neglected at home, too afraid to speak up and only enduring silently.

This kind of open group assault was the first time since they transferred schools.

Zhuo Rui, who was mixed in with them, had also been involved in many dirty deeds.

Initially, Ye Linmu didn’t care what they said they would do to her—it was impossible for these people to touch her. But their mouths were foul, even mentioning the deceased parents of the original host. That crossed the line.

Perhaps her parents in her past life were scumbags, but the original host’s parents cherished her deeply. She was their only child, and everything they did was for her sake. Even the house they bought, which was in a good school district, was registered directly in her name. They were consistently affectionate and caring, very mindful of the original host’s feelings.

Ye Linmu, who had never experienced that kind of love, envied it, so she subconsciously felt the need to protect the original host’s parents.

“If you can’t talk properly, cut your tongue out.”

She directly scraped off a chunk of wall plaster and threw it at the pink-haired girl. The plaster chunk heavily struck the girl’s head. With a loud thud, the pink-haired girl clutched her head, her eyes instantly becoming fierce.

She exposed her fangs like a shadowy venomous snake, her expression sinister: “I think you have a death wish.”

She didn’t remember Ye Linmu’s name. She didn’t need to remember any of their names. They were unimportant, just toys. Once broken, they were discarded. Who would remember the name of every toy?

Ye Linmu took off her backpack and stared expressionlessly at her: “Likewise.”

This person also has a death wish.

No one had ever dared to talk to her like this. If she didn’t knock out two of this person’s front teeth today, she wouldn’t let her go.

“Just leave her breathing.”

The pink-haired girl’s voice was icy, and she forcefully wiped the plaster dust off her head.

The others obeyed her command and immediately rushed at Ye Linmu with their sticks. Ye Linmu swung her bag to block one stick, then lifted her leg and kicked another person flying.

She held nothing back, kicking the person three or four meters away. Even with a different body and less strength, it didn’t hinder her having sufficient technique.

And this group of people only had brute force, no brains.

After snatching a baseball bat from one of their hands, the fight became easier. She swung the stick and knocked everyone down onto the ground in just a few moves, leaving them unable to even crawl.

“Looks like they weren’t much use. Tell me…”

“How would you prefer to lie down next?”

Ye Linmu held the baseball bat, twisted her neck, and approached the pink-haired girl with an expressionless face.

The pink-haired girl’s expression drastically changed. She had intended to leave midway when she saw Ye Linmu effortlessly taking down the group, but Ye Linmu had used a downed person to smash into her right as she stood up, pinning her down.

Now, having just managed to stand up, she found Ye Linmu already walking toward her.

At this moment, the girl finally understood the difference between them and Ye Linmu. Against a semi-professional fighter, their sticks were useless.

Ye Linmu was not any of the students they had bullied before. She was much harder to mess with than they were.
