Back When I Was the Female Top Dog - Chapter 22

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

I didn’t dare to move until I realized that Liu Tao had not woken up. Only then did I put my arm around Liu Tao and sleep in peace.

‘The next day, when I woke up, Liu Tao was already gone. I guessed that he had probably gone home.

‘After I washed up and dressed up, I went to the restaurant downstairs to eat. The money Liu Tao had given the restaurant here had not been fully spent. I knew that with Liu Tao’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t come back, so I directly came here to eat.

I wouldn’t have a chance to eat here in the future. I had to help Liu Tao get his money’s worth, so I ate twice the usual amount.

After that, it was time for me to go to school. Therefore, I found a public phone booth and called Instructor Liu. I told him that I needed to go to school to attend class.

Instructor Liu did not say anything and agreed directly. He even promised to wait for me at the entrance of our school.

Thung up and walked towards the school.

Because I slept later than usual yesterday, I woke up late today.

In addition, the place we lived was indeed a little far from the school. I only arrived at school at the end of lunch break after walking there slowly. Instructor Liu, who was waiting at the school gate to bring me in, was no longer patient.

“Why are you so late? You’ve made me wait for almost an hour,” Instructor Liu said impatiently.

“The place I live is too far away. Of course it will take me a while to walk over,” I said helplessly.

“Can’t you just take a taxi here? If you really can’t afford it, I could have helped you pay when you got here,” Instructor Liu said speechlessly.

“Sorry, I forgot,” I apologize to Instructor Liu in a low voice.

Of course, I knew that if I took a taxi here, Instructor Liu would give me money. However, I had decided that I would not take Instructor Liu’s money unless it was absolutely necessary. From now on, I wanted to accept less of Instructor Liu’s so-called favor.

“Alright, Instructor Pan is currently in class. I’ll bring you over.”

With that said, Instructor Liu led me to the school building.

‘When we arrived at my class, Instructor Pan was lecturing. Instructor Liu knocked lightly on the door. Instructor Pan stopped and her expression turned ugly after seeing that it was the two of us.

“Instructor Pan, I’ve brought Shen Ling back. Let her go back to class first.”

Instructor Pan nodded when she heard this and said, “Shen Ling, go back to your seat first.”

“Thank you, Instructor Pan. I’ll treat you to lunch.”

Instructor Liu chuckled.

“Go away quickly. Don’t delay my class,” Instructor Pan said impatiently.

When Instructor Liu heard this, he left. I also entered the class and returned to my seat.

“Why is she back? Didn’t she run away with a thug?”

“Who knows? Maybe she came back because they ran out of money.”

“Hasn’t she always been living in Instructor Liu’s house? She must have been dragged back by Instructor Liu.”

“Did she run out because Instructor Pan punished her?”

“That’s hard to say.”

Because of my return, the students in the classroom began to discuss. When Instructor Pan heard this, her face turned livid. She also felt that the reason I had left home was because I had been punished.

“Silence! Stop talking. Why don’t you guys come up here and teach instead?” Instructor Pan said angrily.

The students below immediately shut up.

‘When I heard their words, my heart was as calm as water. In the past, I would feel angry and wronged because of others’ ridicule. However, now that I had cut off my relationship with Liu Tao and only wanted to learn, these things no longer affected me.

I continued class and listened very seriously. I didn’t even listen to what Li Ting was saying beside me.

After math class was physical education class. Everyone gathered in groups of three to five. I was the only one to walk to the field alone.

“Shen Ling, stop right there.”

At this moment, someone called me from behind. I turned around and saw Wang Fangfang and Li Ting.

Tignored them and quickened my pace to the field.

The two people behind also walked faster to catch up to me.

“You slut, didn’t you hear me call you?” Wang Fangfang pulled me over.

“Lheard you, but I don’t want to provoke you.” To be honest, I really didn’t want to provoke this unruly and willful Wang Fangfang. She had a good background and even had connections with some hooligans. I couldn’t win against her at all and I also never intended on fighting her.

“Hehe, is there any point in saying such soft words now?”

Wang Fangfang sneered.

“Lbeg you, don’t make things difficult for me anymore. I just want to study well and not interfere in your relationship with Liu Tao. I have nothing to do with Liu Tao anymore. I won’t pester him in the future.”

I pleaded Wang Fangfang to stop messing with me.

“Then kneel and kowtow to me. Beg me.”

‘Wang Fangfang’s meanness was obvious at this moment.

“Can… can we go somewhere else?”

Back then, I was cowardly and did not mind Wang Fangfang’s request. So what if I kowtowed and admitted my mistake? What right does a weakling have to deserve dignity? I knew this very well.

“Go somewhere else? No, let’s do this right here. I want all the students to see you kneel at my feet.”

‘Wang Fangfang did not agree.

“Lcan’t do that.” If it was just in private, I would still consider a compromise like this. However, I have never knelt in public before anyone. Even Instructor Liu did not have such an excessive request.

“You’re unwilling, right? There’s nothing we can do about it. Li Ting, call for help.”

After Li Ting heard this, she ran off. I didn’t know where she went. However, I knew that I was probably done for.

T raised my leg and wanted to run, but Wang Fangfang grabbed me tightly and I couldn’t escape.

“You still want to run?” Wang Fangfang slapped my face with her other hand.

This slap felt much lighter than my father’s slap and Instructor Liu’s slal.

Therefore, I didn’t say anything and just continued to struggle. When Wang Fangfang’s people arrived, I wouldn’t be able to escape.

However, I was thin and weak and already malnourished. How could I break free from Wang Fangfang’s restraints?

Of course, even if I struggled free, I still wouldn’t be able to escape.

Soon, Li Ting returned with three people. They were the girls who were on good terms with Wang Fangfang in the class.

Seeing them, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to escape today.

After Wang Fangfang saw the few of them, she said, “Drag her to the back of the school building.”

‘When the few of them heard this, they grabbed me and pulled me out of the school building. The surrounding students ignored us. Wang Fangfang was a famous person in our school and everyone knew that she was Wang Hao’s sister. No one was willing to provoke Wang Hao.

After being dragged to the back, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to escape. I curled up and let them punch and kick me. However, after experiencing Instructor Liu’s torture, I already had the resistance to physical pain. I forced myself to not scream.

“How boring. You don’t even know how to scream. How are you supposed to accompany a man?”

With that said, Wang Fangfang left with her lackeys.

After they left, I got up and dusted off my clothes before walking to the field.

I knew that Wang Fangfang had beaten me because of Liu Tao, but there was nothing I could do. She wouldn’t believe me no matter what I said and I could only be beaten up obediently.

Just as I was about to walk to the field, two people stopped me..
