The System Wants Me To Learn To Be A 'Green Tea' (Quick Transmigration) - Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Watching the girl scramble backward in panic, Ye Linmu smiled disdainfully: “What, can’t figure it out? I saw you laughing quite happily just now. Don’t feel like laughing anymore?”

She stopped in front of the girl, her expression unchanged. The sound of her fair fingers lightly tapping the baseball bat, mingled with the groans of the people lying on the ground, strangely highlighted the subtle tapping.

Ye Linmu sighed softly: “Honestly, I was playing my part perfectly, but you just had to approach me. Don’t you know what manners are?”

Her gaze inadvertently fell on the nearby camera. She remembered the girl’s actions earlier—it probably recorded everything.

She raised an eyebrow, bent down to pick it up. Just as the girl seized the opportunity to quickly get up and grab a dropped high-heeled shoe to smash Ye Linmu’s head, Ye Linmu casually swung the bat, hitting the girl’s arm and breaking it instantly.

“Ah—!”

The pink-haired girl dropped the high-heeled shoe instantly and let out a sharp, piercing scream. She collapsed to the ground, writhing and clutching her arm.

Ye Linmu glanced at her coldly, tossed the baseball bat aside, and turned on the camera. She flipped through the recorded footage. Besides her own footage, there was other content inside.

Most of the content was extremely revealing, and much of it was very disgusting.

Ye Linmu’s usually smiling lips set in a frown when she saw the videos.

“You really are…”

“Watch out!”

A voice rang out opposite Ye Linmu, followed by a whooshing sound. Ye Linmu instinctively turned to the side. The baseball bat slipped from her grip and violently smashed into the pink-haired girl, brutally crushing her ribs.

The person who threw the object tried to stop, but it was too late. Seeing the consequence, her face went pale, and she quickly dropped the stick in her hand: “N-no… I didn’t mean to…”

Ye Linmu turned around and kicked the person away. She sneered: “When I was learning how to fight, you were still queuing up to be born. You thought you could trick me?”

Then, as if she just remembered, she turned her head to look in the direction the voice came from, and froze.

The person standing at the entrance of the alley was Chen Zhou!

The other girl had warned her just now, though she didn’t particularly need it.

Her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something to explain, but her current appearance—kicking villains and holding a camera in her hand—didn’t look like a normal person’s image at all.

Chen Zhou stood in the sunlight outside the alley. The setting sun cast her shadow very long, seemingly endless from Ye Linmu’s position.

Chen Zhou stood there, silently watching her, her hand clutching her backpack strap. Standing against the light, her expression was unclear, but Ye Linmu guessed it wasn’t good.

Just as Ye Linmu considered turning around to pretend she didn’t know her, or turning her head to fiercely tell her to leave, Chen Zhou strode into the alley without hesitation.

Her clean white running shoes and pure aura completely clashed with the dirty, messy, and dark alley, just like the outwardly fragile, innocent ‘green tea’ girl, Ye Linmu—who was actually violent and unrestrained inside—clashed with the silent, universally praised top student, Chen Zhou.

The sunlight slowly devoured Chen Zhou’s shadow until the other girl reached Ye Linmu, her dark eyes silently focused on her.

Ye Linmu instinctively swallowed. What was she going to do?

A strange feeling arose from the bottom of her heart. Ye Linmu didn’t speak first.

The next moment, Chen Zhou leaned in slightly. She was a little taller than Ye Linmu, and Ye Linmu, at 1.7 meters, only reached her eyebrows.

“Ye Linmu.”

Ye Linmu looked up at her. What was she going to say?

Then, Chen Zhou pushed her against the wall. Ye Linmu was utterly confused, restraining her impulse to fight back: “?”

Chen Zhou moved closer, burying her face in Ye Linmu’s neck and taking a deep breath. Her hot breath sprayed onto Ye Linmu’s neck, raising a dense layer of goosebumps.

Ye Linmu shifted her wrists uncomfortably. She could easily break free from Chen Zhou’s grip with a little force, but Chen Zhou’s wrists were too slender; she was afraid she might break them.

She was her target after all, so she needed to show some respect. She had been playing the ‘green tea’ role, and she still needed to continue, so she needed Chen Zhou’s help.

As for the sudden wall-slam, Ye Linmu didn’t quite understand.

“Chen…”

Before she could speak, Chen Zhou interrupted her. The girl leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “You wouldn’t want others to know about this side of you, would you?”

Ye Linmu, with her hands pinned: “?”

“I can help you.”

Chen Zhou’s face was flushed, like an enchanting spirit feeding on human essence: “Not only can I help you maintain your previous image, but I can also help you resolve today’s issue.”

Ye Linmu: “?”

Chen Zhou embraced Ye Linmu like a creepy stalker, rubbing against Ye Linmu’s neck, feeling the warm touch through the clothes beneath her hand. She sighed with deep satisfaction and lowered her voice to ask, “I can keep your secret. You just need to give me a hug and hold my hand every day. How does that sound?”

As if sensing Ye Linmu’s slight, uncomfortable struggle, Chen Zhou released her, her face a sickly flushed red. Unlike the paleness she displayed at school, she now looked like an evil spirit that had consumed blood and flesh, satisfied yet seductive.

“You don’t need to rush to refuse. You can’t handle their family’s power. Some things can’t be solved by brute force alone; you need to rely on some family influence.”

“Perhaps you don’t agree…”

“I accept.”

Ye Linmu answered so quickly that Chen Zhou was slightly taken aback: “What?”

Ye Linmu nodded readily: “I accept.”

“If you’re willing to help me resolve this, just hugging and holding hands every day is absolutely no problem. I won’t lose anything.”

The System had a deeply comforted expression internally: “Host, now you have a legitimate reason to stay by the female lead’s side. That was a brilliant move.”

“But this Person of Fortune is so easy to hook! She actually proposed the requirement to be intimate with you just like that. Tsk tsk, it seems she really likes you.”

Ye Linmu showed a disdainful smile internally. Likes her?

That’s highly unlikely.

She felt that Chen Zhou proposing this requirement must have had another motive, or perhaps it was for something else—maybe to humiliate her?

She would wait and see.

Chen Zhou was momentarily stunned by the quick acceptance. This was the first time she had made such a request to anyone, and she hadn’t expected the other party to agree so easily and so readily. This gave Chen Zhou the persistent illusion that Ye Linmu had been waiting for her to make an offer.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as the other party agreed.

Chen Zhou: “Then let’s start tomorrow.”

It was already very late today. She had felt her condition acting up, and she was also worried about Ye Linmu’s safety, which was why she chose to follow her. She hadn’t expected the other girl to be followed by so many people.

She had held her phone the entire way. Since she wasn’t sure where the confrontation would happen, she couldn’t call for help immediately.

Once Ye Linmu entered the alley, she immediately called the police and followed quickly.

She hadn’t expected that as soon as she arrived, she would see the confrontation begin. She wanted to help, but found that Ye Linmu completely shed her school persona, easily fighting eight people without losing an inch. In fact, she took them all down in just a few moves.

Chen Zhou promised: “The police will be here soon. These people will receive the punishment they deserve, don’t worry.”

Ye Linmu shrugged, handing the camera to her: “There’s a lot of stuff in here. You might want to take a look.”

Chen Zhou took it and briefly looked at the camera. The cover showed different people’s faces. She didn’t need to look at the content to know that the substance was largely similar.

“Okay.”

The police arrived quickly and took everyone to the station. The pink-haired girl, who was more seriously injured and lying on the ground groaning, was taken to the hospital.

Ye Linmu and Chen Zhou, as the victim and the caller, were also taken to the police station for questioning.

At the police station, Chen Zhou had her driver make a copy of the camera’s memory card, then accompanied Ye Linmu to give her statement.

After the driver returned with the copies, she handed the original to the police.

“Officer, this contains evidence of those people attacking Ye Linmu. I also discovered there are videos of more than one victim inside. My driver took it earlier and temporarily forgot about it.”

“My driver accidentally discovered the videos inside just now and brought them over. You can take a look.”

As for the video of Ye Linmu, it had definitely been edited. The parts about her fighting back had been removed.

The police immediately took the camera aside for inspection. After watching one of the videos, they all sat up straight, several officers biting their cheeks, their faces showing clear anger.

“These people… these people!”

The older officer slammed his hand on the table and said sternly: “Call their parents immediately and start the case filing.”

“Officer, can I press charges against them for group assault and bullying, and attempted personal injury?”

Ye Linmu raised her hand at the appropriate time, her expression obedient, looking nothing like the person in the video who had single-handedly beaten up eight people.

She looked like an innocent person, watching him with a gentle expression.

The police officer: “…”

“This…”

In the video, she was the one who inflicted the heavier injuries. But ultimately, those people initiated the fight, so she could be considered acting in self-defense.

Chen Zhou placed her hand on Ye Linmu’s, her expression calm: “We will press charges against them. These people attempted murder. The baseball bats and the videos are evidence.”

“I will have my lawyer come and send them a lawyer’s letter.”

The police officer was silent and said nothing.

These villains definitely deserved punishment. They were all adults and should pay the price for their actions.

After confirming that Ye Linmu did not initiate the fight, the police gave them a few reminders and released them.

The remaining girls were locked up in the station. With Chen Zhou having people keep an eye on the situation, no one dared to bail them out. They could only wait inside with bitter resentment.
