Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 27 Young People Can't Be Bullied

On this day, Gu Yunji was eating in the cafeteria of the academy, but he heard a noise not far away.

Zhu Yuanfeng was born with big shoulders and round waist, and his face was full of flesh. He pointed to his soiled clothes and said viciously to the young man in front of him: "Boy, you soiled my clothes, so let's just forget about it?"

At this moment, Cheng Yan was dripping with vegetable soup, he wiped his face with his sleeve, pursed his lips and said, "You bumped into me first, not to mention my clothes are soaked, even if you have to pay, it's you who pays." Me." As he spoke, he raised his head and stared straight at Zhu Yuanfeng with a sword-like gaze.

Zhu Yuanfeng felt provocation from this look. He grabbed Cheng Yan's collar and threatened, "You try again? How dare you make me pay for it? A poor boy who got into the academy by chance, really thinks he is a golden phoenix Don't you? You don't even look at your poor appearance!"

Hearing this, the air pressure in Cheng Yan's whole body dropped instantly, the surroundings overflowed with hostility, and the darkness in his eyes became deeper and deeper.Suddenly, he withdrew his sharpness, and his momentum sank.He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then what do you want?"

Zhu Yuanfeng lifted his clothes and stepped on the stool, saying domineeringly, "I want you to kneel down and lick it clean!"

Cheng Yan's movements froze, his fists were clenched tightly, and his whole body trembled slightly because he tried his best to suppress his anger. He gritted his teeth and looked at Zhu Yuanfeng's greasy and arrogant face, almost unable to bear the urge to give him a fist.

"Cheng Yan." Suddenly, a familiar and clear voice came, interrupting the tense atmosphere.Cheng Yan relaxed his body, let out the turbid air in his chest, and slowly loosened his clenched fists.

"Why are you here?" Gu Yunji looked nonchalant, "I've been looking for you for a long time, but my husband called you." After speaking, he was about to pull Cheng Yan away.

"Wait!" Zhu Yuanfeng stretched out his arms between the two of them, "This kid didn't pay for his dirty clothes, how could he just let him go!"

Gu Yunji stopped in his tracks, with a smirk on his face, turned around to look at Zhu Yuanfeng and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, look at my friend's whole body is dirty, and we didn't say anything. You're as dirty as a corner of your clothes." Isn't it a little inappropriate for him to pay?"

Zhu Yuanfeng said: "I don't care if he's suitable or not! He's a wild boy from the countryside and he just doesn't go around when he sees my uncle. He dares to stain my clothes. Today I must let him lick it clean!"

Gu Yunji's smile turned cold: "You won't forgive others when you say that. As far as I know, your father Zhu Jie is an upright official, and he is upright. I don't know if the old man knows that his son is bullying others and ruining him. What about your reputation?"

Zhu Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows: "You actually know my father? Whose family are you from?"

Gu Yunji straightened his sleeves, and said in an unhurried tone, "The former prince and grand teacher, Gu Zhengde, is my grandfather."

"You are Grand Master Gu's grandson?" Hearing this, Zhu Yuanfeng couldn't believe it.The Gu family is a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River, with deep roots. I didn't expect that this kid, who looked so inconspicuous, was actually a child of the Gu family.

Even though he was not afraid of him because of his family background, there was no need to argue over such a trivial matter.Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanfeng didn't bother anymore: "Hmph, I've made it easier for you today, just wait and see." After saying that, he walked away.

After returning to the dormitory, Gu Yunji called a basin of water and said to Cheng Yan, "Wash it first." Cheng Yan took it with lowered eyes, and just cleaned it silently without saying a word.

Gu Yunji turned around and stopped looking at him.A person like Cheng Yan is a golden phoenix who came out of the mud and haystack, with extreme self-esteem and low self-esteem at the same time, the last thing he wants others to see when he is in distress.

Neither of them opened their mouths. For a while, the dormitory was silent, only the slight splash of water could be heard when Cheng Yan washed.

"I have encountered similar things many times." Cheng Yan said suddenly, "At first I was so angry that I rushed to beat him, but in the end I was always beaten harder by the other party. Later, I learned to be good and began to endure. , even if the other party humiliates in every possible way, I will not fight back."

Gu Yunji turned to look at him, Cheng Yan's hair was dripping from his forehead, and he looked at the water basin in front of him while speaking, with a self-deprecating expression, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Because I know that as long as I study hard and take the imperial examination to become an official, I will make those who have bullied me regret it all when I become famous." Cheng Yan put the handkerchief in the basin and rubbed it gently, his tone indifferent , "I often envy you, you have such a good background, you have such a powerful grandfather, even if you are a bastard, but as long as you show up a little, you can be valued by your family, and you can easily get what I dream of."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yan stopped his hands and raised his head to look into his eyes: "Not only is it envious, sometimes it is even jealous, jealous of all the children of the family like you, I am so jealous. Why are you born You are nobler than me? Why do I try my best, but I still can’t get a little bit of what you have?”

His eyes were complicated, with emotions such as unwillingness, jealousy, and resentment intertwined, and the sharp eyes almost hurt Gu Yunji.On weekdays, Li Chengyan disguised himself with a modest and gentle cloak, hiding the inferiority complex and self-esteem in his heart tightly, and refused to reveal the slightest bit.At this time, he was vigilant and sensitive, like a wounded hedgehog, with soft unhealed wounds growing under the sharp and long spines.

"Just now that Zhu Yuanfeng bullied me like that, but I can't do anything about it. And you descended in front of me like a god, and with your own family background, you can easily make him quit. I am very grateful that you helped me , but at the same time I hate you, I hate that you can easily do things that I can't do, it seems that I am a coward who can only wait to be rescued, and I can't cross the gap of origin even with all my strength All my efforts have become a joke."

Gu Yunji said in a daze: "I'm sorry..."

He didn't need to apologize to Cheng Yan, but at this moment he somehow felt that he owed Cheng Yan.In fact, Gu Yunji can empathize very much. In his previous life, he also traveled from a poor mountain valley to a prosperous big city through studying, but whenever he stood in the crowd, he always felt that he was out of tune with the city he was in, and couldn't fit in no matter what.

Traveling back to the ancient times with clear hierarchy and huge gap between rich and poor, Gu Yunji has rich clothes and good food as soon as he opened his eyes, almost forgetting the inferior and sensitive self he used to be.Seeing Cheng Yan at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he was not nobler than anyone else, and everything he had was only due to luck.

"You don't need to apologize to me. You helped me. I should be grateful to you." Cheng Yan covered his face with a wet veil, and took it off after a while to reveal reddish eye sockets. "I lost my composure and scared you ,Excuse me."

After finishing speaking, he packed himself quickly, lifted his feet and walked out the door.

"Cheng Yan." Gu Yunji called him, "You are no worse than anyone, and you are no more humble than anyone. It is not your destiny to be trampled under your feet like an ant. between."

Cheng Yan's figure stopped at the door, the sunlight outside cast a soft light on his body, he turned his head slightly when he heard this, and said with a slight smile, "Thank you, you too."
