Back When I Was the Female Top Dog - Chapter 18

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Tao was shocked by my action. He didn’t expect the usually gentle and weak me to dare to bite Instructor Liu.

However, after hearing me shout, he immediately understood that I was creating an opportunity for them to escape.

Liu Tao seized this opportunity and quickly bypassed Instructor Liu, He then helped me up from the ground, held my hand, and ran out.

Instructor Liu wanted to chase after us, but he couldn’t. He could only smash things in the room angrily.

“Where are we going now?” I asked as I ran out of the residential area with Liu Tao, panting.

“I don’t know, either. Let’s stay at my friend’s place for a few days first.”

Just like that, we went to Liu Tao’s friend’s house. It was a house that looked better than Instructor Liu’s house and had an extra room.

Liu Tao’s friend, Wu Zijian, welcomed our arrival. However, Wu Zijian’s mother was a little unhappy.

Although she didn’t do anything openly, she gave off a strange attitude that pressured us to leave.

We also knew that this was a hint for us to leave quickly. This was how others would treat you for living under their roof. I didn’t mind enduring it. Of course, I knew that we couldn’t keep doing this, but there was nothing we could do at this stage.

However, a young master from a rich family like Liu Tao was somewhat unable to endure it. He complained to me every day, so I could only advise him to endure it.

On the third day, during dinner, a conflict finally erupted.

“Liu Tao, it’s not that I want to lecture you, but at your age, the two of you can’t run away from home like this. You should focus on school. Otherwise, what will you do when you grow up? Don’t you think so?” Wu Zijian’s mother looked at us as we ate.

“Yes,” I agreed softly.

“That’s right. Therefore, if you have anything you’re worried about, just tell Auntie. Auntie is an adult and has been living a lot longer than you guys, after all. Don’t always be angry at your parents. You’re not young anymore and should lear to love and respect your parents. You can’t just leave home like

this.”

‘Wu Zijian’s mother chattered on.

Liu Tao could no longer hold back when he heard this. He was originally an irritable and straightforward person. Now, he felt very uncomfortable hearing the other party beat around the bush.

Therefore, he stood up and said, “Auntie, just say what you want to say. There’s no need to beat around the bush. If you want us to leave, we’ll leave.”

“My mom doesn’t mean that.” Wu Zijian hurriedly tried to stop him.

“What do you mean she doesn’t mean that? Doesn’t she just want me to leave? I’ll leave. Also, you, Wu Zijian, I always do my best to help you when you need me. If you keep this attitude now, we won’t be friends in the future,” Liu Tao said angrily.

With that said, he went to his room to take out his school bag, took out a hundred yuan, and placed it on the table. He said, “We won’t eat for free. Shen Ling, let’s go.”

With that said, he pulled me out. Wu Zijian’s mother smiled and sent us out. I guessed that she was still very happy. After all, the two of us were leaving her house, and he had even given her some money.

Liu Tao couldn’t even be bothered to say goodbye as they left. I turned around and bid farewell to Auntie before being pulled away by Liu Tao.

“What’s the point of saying goodbye? We’ll never see them again,” Liu Tao said disdainfully.

I didn’t know what was wrong with Liu Tao, but his decision was also my decision. I just needed to listen to him.

‘When we arrived downstairs, Wu Zijian caught up with us, panting.

“Brother Tao, Brother Tao, don’t leave yet. Wait for me,” he shouted from behind.

Liu Tao looked at Wu Zijian behind him and quickened his pace.

‘The pitiful Wu Zijian originally thought that he could rest for a while, but he didn’t expect Liu Tao to be like this. He could only break out and chase after him.

“Brother Tao, wait a moment.” Catching up with them, Wu Zijian hurriedly grabbed Liu Tao’s hand to stop him from leaving.

“Why are you still chasing after me? Your mother talks bad about me every day. Why didn’t you stop her?” Liu Tao looked at him and said unhappily.

“Brother Tao, you also know the situation in my family. My mother controls the money. If I dare to interfere, I’ll lose my allowance in the future,” Wu Zijian explained awkwardly.

“Brother Liu Tao, you can’t blame him for this.” I also helped him.

“That’s right, Brother Tao. Do you think I don’t know how you treat me? So what if I give you my life? However, I can’t be mean to my mother.”

At that time, I thought that he was just using this phrase to describe their relationship. However, I didn’t expect Wu Zijian’s words to really turn out to be true. He even sacrificed his life for Liu Tao.

“Alright, alright, I’m not angry with you anymore. Go back quickly.” Liu Tao also knew that Wu Zijian was not to be blamed for this, so he didn’t argue with him.

“Brother Tao, don’t go yet. I have some money here. Take it and spend it first. This is all I have left. You also know that my girlfriend spends a lot. I hope you won’t mind.” Wu Zijian took out some money from his chest pocket and wanted to hand it to Liu Tao.

“Ican’t take your money,” Liu Tao refused.

“Brother Tao, you don’t have to be embarrassed. You don’t have much money left. Take this money first and pay me back in the future. Can you bear to see your girlfriend suffer with you like this?”

‘Wu Zijian advised him to accept the money.

Liu Tao hesitated. He was a person with extremely high self-esteem. If it were any other time, he would definitely not accept this money. However, the two of us really did not have much money left. If we didn’t take this money to tide over, we might have to go home.

‘Wu Zijian saw that Liu Tao was hesitant, so he stuffed the money into his hand and ran home.

“This guy,” Liu Tao said helplessly as he looked at the money in his hand.

Then, Liu Tao and I found a small hotel and checked in.

For 45 yuan a day, the hotel was still relatively clean and hygienic.

‘The owner was a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup. Seeing Liu Tao and me holding hands, she smiled meaningfully and handed me a book.

I didn’t understand.

‘When we arrived at our room, Liu Tao went to take a shower. I opened the book curiously and found that it was filled with “strange postures”. The words and explicit photos made me blush.

However, humans seemed to be naturally curious about such things. The shyer I was, the more I wanted to read. Therefore, I flipped through the pages.

Unknowingly, Liu Tao had already finished showering. I heard the water stop and hurriedly closed the book and hid it.

The door opened and Liu Tao, who was drying his hair, walked out. Seeing my red face, he asked worriedly, “Shen Ling, why is your face so red? Could you be having a fever?”

“L_. I’m fine. Lie down first. I’m going to take a shower.” I didn’t dare to tell him that I had peeked at that kind of book.

“Where’s that book? Show it to me. Why would the lady boss give us a book? How strange. I have to take a look..”
