Little Fairy

Gu Yilan nodded, seeming to agree with Lin Che.

She tugged at the collar of her school uniform and fanned herself with one hand.

Gu Yilan was more than half a head shorter than Lin Che. As she tugged her collar open, he had a perfect view of a dazzling expanse of pale, soft curves.

The sight before him immediately reminded Lin Che of what had happened during the long break. Before he knew it, all sorts of suggestive images began forming in his mind.

His heart stirred.

"Hey, don't do that sort of thing out in public!"

"Stinky Lin Che, you're going to police me for this too?"

"Do you know what it looks like from where I'm standing...? Ahem... It's pretty bad."

"Huh? Ah!"

Gu Yilan quickly covered her chest, her face burning red as she glared at Lin Che like he was a scumbag!

"I'm gonna hit you! You saw a beautiful girl's chest, and you still said it was bad!"

As she spoke, Lin Che felt a twinge in his arm. It was Gu Yilan's little cat-paw punch. It didn't hurt much; it felt more like she was being affectionate.

"Hey, Lin Che! I saw that!" A petite girl squeezed out of the crowd. She wore the same school uniform as Gu Yilan, but her chest was rather flat, with only the slightest hint of a curve.

Her glossy black hair was tied into twin tails. Beneath those neatly styled bangs, her youthful face glared angrily at Lin Che.

"Don't think you can make Little Yilan mad just because you're her childhood friend!"

The twin-tailed girl clung to Gu Yilan's arm, trying to pull her away from Lin Che.

"Luo Xue! Are you picking on me especially hard today or what?"

Luo Xue was a name that sounded quiet and elegant, but she was actually a lively, energetic sports girl.

She was also Gu Yilan's best friend.

That morning, Luo Xue had pointed at Lin Che and told him, "Don't get the wrong idea and think Little Yilan would like a guy like you..."

As it turned out, Luo Xue didn't understand her best friend's feelings at all.

Still, seeing the overly energetic girl with twin tails made Lin Che feel pretty annoyed.

"So what!? I'm telling the truth. If Little Yilan keeps hanging around a guy like you, it'll bring her down!"

"Ah... Ah, stinky Lin Che. Mm, Xiao Xue's right. That's exactly it!"

Gu Yilan wore a disgusted expression, but she sneaked Lin Che an apologetic look before agreeing with Luo Xue.

The glance had been discreet, but Lin Che still caught it.

Come to think of it, ever since Gu Yilan had pretended to be hypnotized, her usual attitude toward him had changed in subtle ways.

Lin Che couldn't be bothered to argue with Luo Xue.

The girl's outburst had already drawn plenty of attention.

Picking a fight with a top-tier girl at a bus stop, a public place, was obviously unwise.

So the three of them waited side by side at the stop.

Gu Yilan wanted to say something else to Lin Che, but with Luo Xue beside her, she felt too embarrassed to speak...

Three minutes later, the bus pulled up.

The end of the school day always coincided with rush hour. As soon as the doors opened, the crowd at the stop swarmed aboard!

Someone bumped Gu Yilan's shoulder, and she nearly lost her balance.

Fortunately, Lin Che reacted quickly. He grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the overcrowded bus.

There weren't just no seats—there wasn't even room to stand!

Lin Che grabbed a handrail and turned his back to the crowd, creating a small space between himself and the corner of the bus. Gu Yilan was sheltered inside it.

Their position looked a little like he had her pinned against a wall...

Gu Yilan's cheeks turned inexplicably red, and her full chest rose and fell slightly.

Stinky Lin Che looked kind of handsome right now. She wanted to hypnotize him...

As she thought this, Gu Yilan unconsciously reached for the pocket holding her phone.

But just then...

An argument broke out among the passengers nearby.

"Stay away from me, you disgusting men!"

It was Luo Xue's voice. The bus was packed, but everyone was hunching and twisting to avoid any awkward contact.

Her shout immediately angered the people around her.

"What's wrong with you? If you don't want to take a crowded bus, drive yourself!"

"Seriously, we're all packed in here. What are you acting so high and mighty for?"

"Girls these days are something else. Who knows where they get all that attitude?"

"If you can't stand it, get off. Who's going to spoil you?"

Luo Xue was ganged up on, and her little face went deathly pale.

This wasn't anything like what she'd seen on Little Red Book!

Weren't people supposed to hurry up and give her a seat?

Why were they turning on her instead?

Some were even telling her to get off!

Seeing Luo Xue's awkward predicament, Lin Che could barely suppress his laughter.

But Gu Yilan, who was tucked safely in the space he'd made, tugged at his clothes.

"Lin Che... Help, help Xiao Xue, please~"

For once, Gu Yilan wasn't looking at Lin Che with disdain. She even avoided calling him "Stinky Lin Che" as she asked him for help.

"She deserves it. Does she really think she's top-tier or something?"

Lin Che curled his lip. He'd been fed up with Luo Xue for ages, and he had no interest in helping her.

"Please, help her!"

Gu Yilan couldn't stand watching her best friend get bullied—even if she had brought it on herself—so she had to offer Lin Che something in return.

"I-I'll buy you Black Legend: Wukong, okay? Just help Luo Xue!"

"Ugh!"

Lin Che sighed. Every guy dreamed of being the Great Sage.

Besides, nearly three hundred yuan was no small amount for a high school student.

He'd just have to swallow his pride and help her.

Lin Che stretched out his arm, pushed through the packed crowd, and grabbed Luo Xue by the front, hauling her over like a little chick.

"Phew~"

Luo Xue let out a long breath of relief.

But with her joining them, the small space in front of Lin Che became cramped.

Their bodies were bound to brush against each other...

"Don't you dare take advantage of Little Yilan!"

Luo Xue didn't thank Lin Che. Instead, she watched him warily!

She stood in front of Gu Yilan with her back to Lin Che.

Just then, the bus braked sharply. Lin Che lost his balance and lurched forward!

Luo Xue's petite body was remarkably springy. Since she liked sports, her skin felt less soft than Gu Yilan's, but more firm and resilient!

"You pervert! Get away from me!"

Feeling someone press against her from behind, Luo Xue immediately shouted at him.

"I've had enough! You can get off the bus!"

Lin Che wasn't going to put up with her. He was about to grab her and shove her out.

"Xiao Xue, Lin Che didn't do it on purpose..."

Gu Yilan hurried to smooth things over and calm her friend down.

"It's so crowded on the bus. Just put up with it for now, Xiao Xue."

"Since Little Yilan put it that way..."

Luo Xue listened to Gu Yilan and immediately fell silent.

Just then, the bus rolled over a speed bump.

The vehicle bounced up and down, and Luo Xue's twin tails bobbed like rabbit ears.

Standing behind her, Lin Che moved with the rhythm of the bus, occasionally pressing against her petite body.

Summer school trousers were basically just athletic shorts.

The breathable fabric was thin and light!

Lin Che felt his lower abdomen bump into a pair of springy little peaches!

The athletic girl's skin was taut and bouncy, and her pert little butt was like pudding.

The bus hit another speed bump. A passenger behind Lin Che shoved him, and he lost his footing, accidentally delivering a full-on collision!

"Ah!"

Luo Xue let out a scream.

Lin Che was standing right behind her. She knew exactly what had bumped into her...

"P-Pervert! I'm calling the police and having you arrested!"

Luo Xue's face turned bright red as she yelled on the bus.

But after the earlier scene, no one believed the arrogant high school girl who thought she was a Little Fairy.

"Her again?!"

"Just ignore her. Girls these days get all high and mighty for no reason. They always think someone's trying to take advantage of them!"

"Kid, quit making a scene. I saw the whole thing earlier. When you were acting up on the bus, that boy was the one who kindly helped you!"

Even a kindly older woman couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to criticize Luo Xue.

"N-No... That's not..."

For the first time, fear showed in Luo Xue's usually arrogant eyes.

At home, her family treated her like a little princess.

Gu Yilan was the School Belle, so naturally her best friend was one too.

Luo Xue had a terrible personality, but her petite figure and her obnoxious, bratty attitude had earned her quite a few admirers at school.

No matter where she went, no one had ever stood up to her!

But now she had become the target of everyone's criticism, and not a single person was willing to believe her!

No matter how arrogant Luo Xue was, she was starting to panic.

The bratty girl's bluster faded a little, and she forced herself to swallow the curse on her tongue.

With no one on her side, all she could do was squirm in Lin Che's arms, trying to get farther away from him.

Watching Luo Xue's swaying twin tails, her long, slender, fair neck, and the slim line of her back faintly visible beneath her school uniform...

And with Luo Xue struggling nonstop, her springy little butt rubbed against Lin Che's lower abdomen. Lin Che grew excited at once.

"No way!"
