Ugh, wasn't the Awakening System supposed to make me the main character?

But to everyone's surprise, Bai Yueran suddenly turned around, grabbed the leader girl's hand, and before she could react, spun her hand around, grasped the leader girl's right index finger, and then pressed it down hard.

Before the girl in the lead could react, she felt a sharp pain in her index finger, as if it were about to break.

She stared at Bai Yueran with a bewildered expression. "What are you doing? Let me go!"

But then she noticed Bai Yueran's lifeless eyes and her completely darkened expression.

The little girl, who was originally as soft and innocent as an angel, suddenly became like a demon from hell.

She stared at the index finger of the girl in the lead, a sickly smile on her face.

"Hey, you're the one who used this finger to flirt with the teacher, right?"

A strong sense of oppression emanated from Bai Yueran, making the leading girl feel as if she was about to suffocate at any moment, and she dared not utter a single word in the face of Bai Yueran's questions.

Who would have thought that a seemingly harmless, cute blue-haired little girl would become so terrifying after turning evil?

Seeing that the two girls behind her were still approaching, Bai Yueran only glanced at them, which made them dare not go any further.

"Tell me! You won't tell me, huh? Tell me, what will happen if I use a little more force?"

After saying that, Bai Yueran's expression darkened even more. She grabbed the index finger of the girl in the lead and pressed it down several centimeters.

An even stronger pain came, causing the girl in the lead to cry out.

“Aaaah.”

"You know it hurts, right? You know it hurts but you won't say anything?"

"Yes, yes! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please, please let me go!"

The girl in the lead was completely at a loss and could only keep apologizing.

But how could Bai Yueran possibly listen to that? After hearing the leading girl answer yes, Bai Yueran completely turned to the dark side, and the smile on her face became increasingly morbid.

"Hehehe, so you really did use this finger to provoke the teacher. Well then, this finger is no longer usable, you know?"

Upon hearing this, the girl in the lead was shocked, a strong sense of fear welled up in her heart, and she was filled with regret. But it was too late to say anything now, and Bai Yueran immediately tightened her grip.

But at this critical moment, a voice came from not far away.

"Hey, you three, don't you dare bully my student!"

At this moment, Bai Yueran noticed that it was her teacher, Gui Ye, who had come over. She hurriedly let go of the girl in the lead and skillfully put on a pitiful and frightened look.

The three girls finally caught Bai Yueran releasing the index finger of the girl in charge, and ran away without saying a word.

…………

With a shout from me, all three girls fled in panic.

Hmph, those cricket rascals, they all ran away in panic after hearing my roar, Gui!

Well, see? This is my authority as a teacher. I didn't do anything, just shouted and the problem was solved. It feels so good!

But why were those three thugs not scared away by me at noon, but ran away as soon as they heard me yell just now?

I don't know, but the most important thing right now is to see if Xiaoyueran is alright.

With that in mind, I quickened my pace and walked forward.

In the dim light, I saw a small, pitiful little girl with blue hair sitting there, her eyes fixed on me, with tears still glistening in them.

Poor thing, she got bullied by those guys twice.

Fortunately, I had a meeting today, so I worked overtime and got home late, which is how I happened to see this scene. Otherwise, I can't imagine what might have happened.

As I slowly approached, she spoke to me weakly.

"Teacher...why are you still not home so late?"

Bai Yueran's soft, sweet voice seemed to have the power to heal everything; just hearing her voice made all the troubles from the meeting disappear instantly.

I squatted down beside her, gave her a smile, and then answered her in a soft voice, "I was in a meeting just now, talking about all sorts of random things, so I'm only coming out now."

Then, I asked Xiaoyueran a question in return.

"Where is Xiaoyueran? Why is she still here so late? It's almost dark now..."

"Well……"

My words seemed to remind her of something unpleasant, and she lowered her head without saying anything.

So I changed my mind and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. But I think it's dangerous for you to be out alone now that it's dark. You should go back soon."

Do you want me to call and contact your family for you?

"No, no one's home, I can't go anywhere tonight. Can I go to my teacher's house instead?"

As she finished speaking, Bai Yueran raised her head and looked at me with her big, bright eyes, her expectant gaze making it hard to refuse.

Is no one home?

If I remember correctly, Bai Yueran received very little love from her family growing up, which is why she developed such a withdrawn and introverted personality. She's a pitiful child...

"Sure, but my house is messy, shabby, and very small. You won't mind, will you?"

"No, I don't mind! As long as there's room for me and the teacher!"

Hearing Bai Yueran's words, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha~ Even if it's small, it won't be so small that the two of us can't fit in."

Well, never mind, I'll take her home tonight and then contact her family to see what's going on.

140. The little girl lacks a sense of security.

Because when I left the school gate, it was already more than half dark, and by the time I got to my building, it was already evening, and it was completely dark.

Using the light from our phone flashlights, we arrived at the entrance to the building.

I felt something pulling me from behind, and I couldn't help but turn around to look. It turned out that Xiao Yueran was holding my arm.

She looked at me, her blinking eyes gleaming faintly in the surrounding darkness.

"Teacher, I'm a little scared, can I...?"

Do you want to hold my arm?

I looked at Xiaoyueran and asked her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Um……"

Xiao Yueran lowered her head and nodded shyly.

Hehe, what an adorable child!

Seeing Xiao Yueran like this, a strong sense of protection welled up inside me. I would usually be afraid to walk on this stairwell alone, but now that there was a little girl, even weaker than me, behind me who needed my protection, I suddenly felt no fear at all.

"Alright then, hold onto my arm, and we'll go up like this."

Although for us as teacher and student, crossing our arms or something is a bit too intimate.

But since Xiaoyuran has already made the request, and given the special circumstances, plus the fact that no one else around will see us, I accepted Xiaoyuran's request.

After getting my consent, the little girl behind me hugged my arm even tighter, as if afraid that I would disappear if she let go. Her frightened look was like that of a startled little rabbit, soft, cute and adorable.

"Okay, don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's keep going!"

I ruffled her hair and then continued walking.

Such a timid girl, with such a withdrawn personality, and her family doesn't care about her, it must have been very difficult for her all along.

I sighed inwardly, but alas, I was just her teacher, and now that I was in this state, there was even less I could do to help her.

However, if possible, I would still like to give this poor little guy more care within my capabilities.

I did the same thing before I was reborn. Although it didn't achieve the ideal effect when I was reborn, at least she wasn't as afraid and stuttering when she talked to me as she was at the beginning.

However, this made me realize that now that I've been reborn back to when they first enrolled, Xiao Yueran should feel the same sense of unfamiliarity and fear upon seeing me as she did back then.

But now, why isn't she the same as before? Why is she now able to take the initiative to hug my arm?

Compared to Xiao Yueran when she first started school before her rebirth, even if she's terrified now, I don't think she'd just grab my arm without saying anything.

Could it be that Xiao Yueran is a reincarnated person?

But given Xiaoyueran's innocent personality, I don't think she can hide anything from her.

If she were a reincarnated person, she probably would have told me already, so I don't think it's very likely that Xiao Yueran is a reincarnated person.

Therefore, the only plausible explanation is that it was caused by a change in appearance.

Compared to my scumbag image before my rebirth, I now appear much more approachable as a little girl. Perhaps it is because of this change that Xiao Yueran is no longer afraid of me even though we are not very familiar with each other.

This seems to make sense.

After some thought, I took Xiaoyueran to the front of my house.

I took out my keys and opened the door, making sure to greet Xiaoyueran in between.

"Just so you know, my house is very small and messy, please don't mind."

"Okay, teacher, please open the door quickly."

Bai Yueran nodded.
