He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 133: Don't Come To School

The moment when he entered the classroom and first saw Xiao Yun's desk, Xiao Yun was sure that Xue Xiu Yong said: 'Not again-'.  Although it was only for a faint moment, she clearly heard he said that.

Again- meant once again. 

It was very rare to see Xue Xiu Yong this shaken and angry. Xiao Yun immediately suspected something deep under his words. Something that he hid behind his merry self. 

Hearing no answer, Xue Xiu Yong almost slammed his fist to the table but quickly was stopped by Xiao Yun. 

"Calm down." Xiao Yun said and stopped his hand firmly. 

"B- But!" Xue Xiu Yong's eyes glared at Xiao Yun. Xue Xiu Yong evaded his eyes and muttered. "I'm sorry..."

Nie An who just arrived at the class saw the trash bin and Xiao Yun's desk being switched with Xue Xiu Yong and had a vague idea that Xiao Yun's desk was once again being targeted by the bully. She frowned heavily almost bursting into a rage. 

However, before she could do anything, the teacher had come with his yawning. Entering as he greeted. "Good morning everyone."

The two stopped their anger as though an anger thread on their line has been severed. Nie An who wanted to say something had no choice but to sit back on her chair. On the other hand, Xue Xiu Yong glanced at Xiao Yun with a face wanting to say something. His eyelashes fell down as he apologized once again. "I'm sorry."

Even though part of her bullying was Xue Xiu Yong's fault for clinging over her, the action of the culprit's happened because of their own jealousy, and none was Xue Xiu Yong's intention. 

Xiao Yun would never give any justice to Xue Xiu Yong's clinginess as she already had a fiancee and someone she loved, however, that didn't mean that she would hold something against Xue Xiu Yong who also didn't expect Xiao Yun to be bullied.

In the past when she had no one as a friend other than the vicious Qu Mei Xing, Xue Xiu Yong became her only friend who would always become the listener to her grumbles. 

Xiao Yun was a person who would repay gratitude with gratefulness and ingratitude with their payments; as Xue Xiu Yong had become a person who helped her in the past, she understood that and let him stayed by her side as a friend. 

Seeing his sadness and guilt written all over his face, Xiao Yun shook her head and tapped her finger on the desk that Xue Xiu Yong switched. "Thank you."

"Aiya! Xiu Yong! You finally came back to school?" The teacher who saw Xue Xiu Yong standing in front of Xiao Yun's desk that was near his and gave a cheerful smile. He placed his attendance book on the table and clapped his hand. "Good! Good! Welcome back! Don't skip school anymore!"

The teacher continued to start the room when he noticed that Xue Xiu Yong was still standing with a dark expression and called out. "Xiu Yong? What are you waiting for? Sit down!"

Xue Xiu Yong still looked glum as he sat down on his seat before the teacher called his name once again. With a deep storm on his eyes, he gritted his teeth and gazed at the cloudy sky.

As the bell rang, Xiao Yun and Nie An prepared themself to go to the cafeteria and meet up with Zhi Ling Ling. Xiao Yun was about to exit the classroom when Xue Xiu Yong held her hand.

"There's something I have to tell you." Xue Xiu Yong evaded his eyes while he spoke. 

Nie An wanted to stop him, however, as she saw his face she decided to back down. 

Xiao Yun had noticed this whole dark expression and noticed him gritting his teeth from the start and agreed. "I understand. Let me go for a moment; there are too many eyes here."

Xue Xiu Yong noticed that his action could once again rose the bully's hatred and released his hands. "Then, let's go somewhere else."

Xiao Yun nodded and gave a silent confirmation before going to the school's backyard in separate ways. Nie An felt that she needed to come along and followed Xiao Yun to the back yard. 

Xue Xiu Ying seemed to be more aware of the eyes around him and kept on looking around the backyard to guard themself against the bully. 

"I'm sorry." Once again Xue Xiu Yong apologized. 

"You know something about this bullying, don't you?" Xiao Yun replied with a question. 

"I- do..." Xue Xiu Yong clenched his hand as though he was trying to hold back his fury. "In middle school, this happened to me once- not me... but my friend." His eyes kept on running away from Xiao Yun's face in guilt. 

Xiao Yun narrowed her eyes. The story that she heard from Nie An about Xue Xiu Yong's female friend that was horribly bullied until she quit the school seemed to affect Xue Xiu Yong more than anyone thought.

'If the bullying happened since middle school, that would hold a high chance that this culprit behind all of this is the same person as the past...' Xiao Yun rubbed her chin and continued. 

"Can you tell me the rest of the story?"

"Yes-" Xue Xiu Yong took a mouthful of breath to compose himself before filling the rest of the story. 

"That happened when I was in the second year of middle school. As you know, I'm pretty famous with the girls and my face is quite handsome. " Although his face was stiff, he still joked for a moment to ease the tense atmosphere. 

"At first I enjoyed getting close with girls, they were fun and I enjoyed talking with them. However, at that time I still didn't know that women are very possessive. Before I knew it, there was already a rule that girls need to keep before getting close to me. No one could talk unless I start the conversation first, no one could gift me presents with an ulterior motive, no one could confess their love to me without the head club's permission, and no one could become my friend without their permission. "

Nie An furrowed her brows. "That's horrible, they're treating you like a prized doll."

Xue Xiu Yong gave a dry smile. "This all happened when I was absent for a week for my father's business. She was my only female friend that would talk with me without any restrain like the other girls, her personality was quite tough but she was a very kind person. I didn't know exactly what happened... However, when I came back to school, she had been bullied by the girls from the people who claimed to be my fan club and was pushed down to the stairs. "

Xue Xiu Yong's eyes for a slight second almost seemed red when he said those words. He could still freshly remember the scene that happened in front of his eyes. The desks that were ransacked, curses were written all over her lockers, sneerings from people who passed her, eyes that filled with condemned, and the writhing expression from the pain on her legs that were broken when she fell from the stairs. 

The last thing that he could remember from his own friend was the moment when the girl cursed at him for ruining her whole life. 

Xue Xiu Yong gritted his teeth and seeped those words. "When I came to visit her- she told me everything. She was a bit shaken at that moment and said that I was the source of everything. I can't blame her, everything did happen because of me."

Although it wasn't Xue Xiu Yong's fault, the girl was depressed and blamed him involuntarily. For such a bright person like Xue Xiu Yong to receive such a word from his own best friend must've scarred him deeply. Nevertheless, Xue Xiu Yong didn't place the fault on the girl and still believed that she was only shaken at that moment. 

Xiao Yun didn't give any comment from the whole story. In the past, she remembered that not soon after she was bullied, Xue Xiu Yong distanced himself from her which actually lessen her bullying. Not soon after that, Xue Xiu Yong also stopped the bullying from behind the scene. 

"What about the people behind the bullying?" Xiao Yun finally asked. 

"I've caught all of them and they are now in different schools. I thought that it wouldn't happen again and became careless... I'm sorry." Xue Xiu Yong apologized again, this time he bowed down and added. "Xiao Yun, don't come to school anymore until I catch the person who did this."

As he was still unable to look at Xiao Yun's face in an upright position, Xue Xiu Yong's head drooped down in a bow. 

"What are you saying? Don't go to school? Do you mean that I should wait until you catch them?"
