As two girls from Class B surrounded Ye Ying, the other boys swarmed Gu Ya, covering his mouth and holding his hands as they dragged him to the other side of the observation deck.
Liu Feng tried to intervene but was pinned to a large tree by several boys.
The observation deck had high railings and a flat rock floor, spanning over a hundred meters in length and width. A massive boulder in the center perfectly blocked the view.
Ye Ying was about to go to Gu Ya when the two girls held her back tightly.
“Don’t rush, Xing Bin will be here soon. Let him take photos for us,” Chu Dan said with a smile.
Ye Ying’s expression darkened. She had a sneaking suspicion that Xing Bin was behind this.
At that moment, Xing Bin walked over, flashed Ye Ying a confident and charming smile, and said, “Ye Ying, Gu Ya is gone. He told me he had something urgent to handle and asked me to accompany you. Don’t worry.”
Chu Dan giggled and said, “Ye Ying, our class leader Xing Bin has liked you for a long time.”
Niu Jingjing added with a smile, “That’s right. Xing Bin is tall, handsome, and comes from a good family. He’s much better than Gu Ya. Many girls want to be his girlfriend.”
Ye Ying scowled, shook off the two girls, and said coldly, “What does that have to do with me?”
“Don’t go, classmates should chat,” Chu Dan said, grabbing Ye Ying in time.
Niu Jingjing also held Ye Ying’s hand, preventing her from leaving.
Xing Bin moved closer and smiled, “When Gu Ya left, he told me he wasn’t good enough for you and asked me to take good care of you.”
Ye Ying looked up at Xing Bin, her gaze extremely cold, and said, “He wouldn’t say that! Move aside.”
Niu Jingjing and Chu Dan tightened their grip, firmly holding Ye Ying’s hands.
Xing Bin leaned closer to Ye Ying’s face and whispered with a laugh, “Just say yes to me.”
As he spoke, he leaned forward, attempting to touch Ye Ying’s face with his lips.
At this very moment, Gu Ya was surrounded by over a dozen boys from Class B, unable to break free no matter how hard he struggled.
Gu Ya calmly surveyed them. Xing Bin wasn't here, which meant Xing Bin must be with Ye Ying.
“Gu Ya, just wait here obediently until Xing Bin is done. We won’t do anything to you,” one of the boys said.
“Stop struggling. Xing Bin will definitely win Ye Ying over.”
“Gu Ya! Last night you tied us to a tree. This isn’t over. We’ll deal with you when we get back,” said the boy Gu Ya had tied up that night.
Gu Ya’s expression turned grim. He said coldly, “Why wait to get back? Let’s settle it here.”
“Oh?” the boy said smugly. “Fine, let’s settle it here! Strip off your clothes, tie you to a post, and take some nice photos to post online so everyone in the city can see you embarrassed!”
Gu Ya nodded and said, “Yes, if you strip off your clothes and kneel to beg me now, I might consider not posting your photos online.”
The boy was instantly enraged by Gu Ya’s words. He placed a palm on Gu Ya’s shoulder and said, “Say that again, I dare you?”
Meanwhile, Ye Ying looked at Xing Bin in shock. He was actually doing such a disgusting thing in a public place!
Just as Xing Bin’s lips were about to touch Ye Ying’s face, Ye Ying delivered a powerful kick to his groin.
“Ah!” Xing Bin doubled over, clutching his groin, and stumbled back two steps in pain.
The two girls were momentarily stunned, but quickly grabbed Ye Ying. Chu Dan said, “No one dares to hit the class leader. Are you giving yourself airs?”
“Ye Ying, how could you do that? You dared to kick the class leader. Xing Bin! Ye Ying is yours now!”
The two girls pressed on Ye Ying’s back and forcefully pushed her towards Xing Bin.
Xing Bin straightened up, spread his arms wide, and shouted, “Ye Ying.”
Ye Ying stumbled and fell into Xing Bin’s arms. The moment she made contact with his body, her mind went blank, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Xing Bin held Ye Ying and feigned anger, loudly reprimanding the two girls, “Are you two trying to kill Ye Ying!”
The two girls understood. Chu Dan smirked and said, “If we don’t create opportunities, how will Ye Ying know your heart, Class Leader!”
Just then, Ye Ying suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed Xing Bin’s neck.
Her grip was incredibly strong. Xing Bin struggled to break free but couldn’t, his face turning red from lack of air.
Ye Ying’s voice, colder than ever, echoed, “You dare to bully Ye Ying?”
On Gu Ya’s side, just as the previous boy was about to make a move, he was stunned by a loud bang from below the railing behind him.
Everyone turned to look at the railing.
Suddenly, a massive black mechanical behemoth emerged from the cliff below the railing.
It had a giant snake head, its wide metal tongue flicking skillfully.
The students, terrified by the giant serpent, retreated one after another, clearing a space. Only Gu Ya remained standing.
“Holy crap! What the hell is that!” one of the boys exclaimed.
Class B, having not undergone jungle training, did not recognize this serpentine mecha.
The giant serpent continued to climb, its head slowly arching over the railing and hovering above Gu Ya’s head, its terrifying orange-red eyes staring at everyone.
The students completely collapsed in fear. The previously arrogant boy screamed, “Gu Gu Gu Ya! Behind you! There’s a monster!”
Gu Ya smiled faintly and said calmly, “I know. This is my pet. Show them something to liven things up!”
The students gaped in terror. Two boys fainted on the spot.
“Now, are you going to strip yourselves, or shall I help you?” Gu Ya sneered evilly, gently waving his left hand.
The giant serpent slowly opened its terrifying mouth.
Ye Ying’s fingers dug deep into Xing Bin’s flesh as she choked him, her eyes glowing red as if seeing an enemy. “You, dare to bully Ye Ying!”
Xing Bin, unable to breathe from Ye Ying’s powerful grip, fell to his knees. He tried to pry her hands off, but it was no use.
The two girls stared at Ye Ying’s back in astonishment, but a moment later, both of them went rigid with fear.
From behind the giant boulder, a terrifying, massive black snake head emerged!
“Xing Bin!” Chu Dan shrieked, her body chilling with terror, pointing at the serpent’s head as she cried out.
Xing Bin gritted his teeth and looked back, nearly fainting in shock.
What was that thing?
The giant snake head slowly descended and disappeared behind the boulder. Just as Xing Bin thought he was seeing an illusion, something even more unbelievable happened.
The dozen boys from Class B, heads bowed and faces a picture of panic, emerged from behind the boulder with their upper bodies bare, stepping aside as if clearing a path for someone.
Xing Bin, still in shock, saw Gu Ya slowly walking out from behind the boulder. He looked like a king returning victorious, with the giant snake head following closely behind him.
The creature was nearly six meters tall, its tongue flicking, trailing obediently behind Gu Ya.
“I… grass?” Xing Bin could hardly believe his eyes.
Gu Ya walked up to Xing Bin, looking down at him, and said, “You arranged all of this, didn’t you?” As he spoke, he lightly placed a hand on Xing Bin’s shoulder.
The seemingly insignificant pressure from Gu Ya caused Xing Bin to go limp, and he slumped to the ground, a wet patch appearing between his legs.
Ye Ying’s hand loosened its grip. Red handprints were clearly visible on Xing Bin’s neck.
Gu Ya lowered his head and said menacingly, “From now on, if I ever see you near Ye Ying again, I’ll beat you every time!”
Xing Bin’s mouth hung open, his expression blank. He nodded stupidly, his mind completely blank, unable to hear anything Gu Ya was saying. He would agree to anything.
Gu Ya looked up, feeling immensely satisfied as if he had accomplished something deeply cathartic. He smiled at Ye Ying and said, “Let’s go. We can go to the summit to enjoy the view and take some photos.”
To his surprise, Ye Ying looked at Gu Ya with disdain, sidestepped into a defensive stance, fists clenched, and asked calmly and cautiously, “Who are you, and why are you helping me?”
Gu Ya: ???
