The Overbearing CEO's Love... Suffocating

Gu Lan's gender was discovered by Hua Yin from the beginning, and while she appeared calm on the surface, her heart... was actually quite calm too. If she hadn't died, there was nothing to fear; as long as she was alive, she could have fun and enjoy life to the fullest.

Gu Lan's biggest advantage was her positive attitude. Since transmigration was a random event, she wasn't afraid as long as she was still alive.

Of course, she would also reflect on her experiences. She asked the somewhat belated and utterly useless system, "Why was I discovered so quickly? The plot arrangement is unreasonable. If I were the one writing, it wouldn't be like this. In the dorm, Xu Huanwen, Yan Xiao, Yun Zhe, and Jing Yunkui are all unwilling to get close to me. I look so much like a guy that it should be difficult for them to find out. In other novels, if the roommate had this kind of personality, they wouldn't reveal their secret so quickly. Most importantly, why was I assigned a necrophilia lover?! And one who is interested in my bones?"

"This type of attribute is one in a million! A rare and precious attribute, like winning the jackpot, but in a creepy way."

To be honest, Hua Yin, as a character, should not be placed in this type of brainless campus romance novel. It's a waste of his talents. He should be placed in a novel titled "My Psychotic Husband Fell in Love with Me."

As Gu Lan attended class, she kept venting her frustrations to the system, seeking release for her desires. At this moment, the system, which had never spoken before, suddenly spoke up. Its voice was adorable, like a six or seven-year-old who hadn't been weaned yet, with a cute tone.

"You know, there's a possibility... that Hua Yin is your roommate, but he's actually the villain from another novel, right?"

Gu Lan was startled. "Oh my god, the system has gone bonkers."

The system: ...

The system seemed to fall silent for a while before speaking again. "I'm not bonkers, I just... I'm sorry for speaking to you... It's my first time being a system, and I'm a bit nervous."

Now it was Gu Lan's turn to be shocked. She couldn't believe the system was acting like this and getting nervous.

Gu Lan thought to herself that this system was too unreliable. It had started working before even being weaned.

As Gu Lan was thinking this, the small system suddenly sounded angry. With a childish voice, it said, "You... How can you say that about me... So upset! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

After that, the system fell silent again, leaving Gu Lan bewildered. "Huh?"

Her 'huh' was a bit loud because she was so shocked. After that, she kept calling the small system in her mind.

"I'm sorry! You were weaned; I can tell from your voice how many years it's been!"

"You're just walking away without saying anything. Isn't that not very manly behavior?"

"Say something, will you? How are the villains in other novels like? Is this world a combination of multiple intersecting plotlines?"

"Little system, little sweetie? You are my heart, my honey?"

No matter how affectionately she called, the small system, whether it had been weaned or not, remained completely silent.

However, the teacher's voice grew louder!

"Student, what are you doing? You're not paying attention in class and keep making noises?"

Gu Lan felt that she always clashed with the teachers in the classroom. Honestly, during class, she was always concerned about her gender being exposed. She hadn't really noticed what kind of teacher they had in the class.

She looked up...

Huh?

This female teacher was so young! She was probably just out of college, around 22 years old, with a youthful and student-like appearance.

The young female teacher seemed to be the tragic supporting character from the original book. She had fallen in love with Yan Yuxuan, who was also a teacher, and in the end, fearing that the female lead would misunderstand, Yan Yuxuan had her transferred to a remote and isolated mountainous area, where she couldn't escape for a lifetime.

Now, the young female teacher's face turned red with anger as she scolded Gu Lan. "What were you doing? Why aren't you paying attention in class? You're so young, how can you get into a good university if you don't study well?"

Gu Lan subconsciously replied, "Maybe it's because you're good-looking."

To be honest, in terms of looks, the supporting character did indeed overshadow the female lead.

However, the teacher didn't feel happy being praised by a handsome guy. Her body trembled slightly with anger, making her even more furious.

This was only her second week of internship since graduating. If she didn't perform well, she would be dismissed. But even in such a situation, she couldn't help but worry when she saw a student zoning out and wanted to give him some advice.

The teacher walked down from the podium with big strides. "You're so young, yet so slick-tongued. If you want to find a girlfriend, go to college, study hard, and meet better girls. Understand?"

"What were you doing just now?"

Gu Lan pondered how to respond seriously. "I... I was talking to the intelligent creature inside my body. Do you believe me?"

The female teacher: ...

At this moment, An Momo, who had been studying diligently, raised her hand. After the teacher ignored her, she took the initiative to stand up.

"Teacher, he's Gu Lan, the worst student in the school. You don't need to be angry because of him."

Xiao Hui, the original book's male lead, who had been laughing at the situation, showed a wicked smile. He raised his chin and looked affectionately at An Momo.

"My woman knows how to talk."

After saying that, Xiao Hui stood up with grace. "Teacher, just get rid of Gu Lan. He doesn't deserve to sit in the classroom."

This time, Gu Lan fell silent.

The female teacher was also silent for a moment, then frowned and said to Xiao Hui, "Sit down. Don't say such things about sending people away. And the notion of not being deserving... No one is nobler than anyone else."

Gu Lan didn't expect the female teacher to have such a sound mentality, and she couldn't help but nod along.

"That's right."

The female teacher glared at Gu Lan. "That's right? Right what? All you know is 'that's right'! Pay attention in class. What will happen to you if you don't study well in the future?"

Gu Lan wanted to say something cheeky, but An Momo spoke up again.

"Teacher, you are too naive and might not understand the situation in our class."

"Gu Lan's character and academic performance are really bad. He's zoned out in class not just once or twice."

"It's not good to criticize the top-performing student in the class just because of him."

The top-performing student was Xiao Hui.

When An Momo spoke in defense of him, Xiao Hui's face, which had been rather gloomy, brightened up, and his wicked smile turned gentle.

"Momo... You're really... very gentle."

Gu Lan found it funny to listen to all this. An Momo didn't really care that Xiao Hui's face wasn't looking good after being scolded. She was more concerned about her teacher not listening to her.

The male supporting character, Yan Yuxuan, was gentle, rich, talented, and emotionally intelligent. Since he came to the school, An Momo's life there had become like a dream, going from being bullied to becoming the darling of the class.

Having grown accustomed to being spoiled, An Momo couldn't accept being ignored.

The female teacher frowned. "I think you're wrong. Because his grades are poor, we need to teach him. And because his character is bad, we need to correct it."

"That's the purpose of a school."

After the female teacher finished speaking, Gu Lan couldn't help but clap. "Well said! Thank you, teacher! With your serious words, I'll listen attentively."

The teacher's principles were very commendable.

However, An Momo couldn't help but bite her lip in frustration. She felt like she had been slapped on the face and felt exceptionally down. She knew she was being targeted.

Targeted by this new female teacher? Why? Was it because this teacher liked Yan Yuxuan? An Momo had seen the blushing face when they greeted each other...

An Momo stopped speaking and lowered her head in silence.

The female teacher massaged her aching temples and then looked at Gu Lan, who sat upright like an elementary school student. She sighed.

"I used a harsh tone just now, I'm sorry. I hope everyone can listen attentively in class, for the sake of my internship and your future."

As she said this, Xiao Hui suddenly stood up. He frowned tightly and sneered.

"Don't make it sound so nice. Aren't you just targeting her? You're jealous because An Momo is prettier than you!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lan almost burst out laughing. "What nonsense are you talking about..."

Gu Lan was about to continue, but An Momo's close friend spoke first, leading the conversation.

"That's right! She's jealous of how pretty An Momo is, so she's been targeting her all along!"

"Women's jealousy is really scary!"

"An Momo was just trying to help her, and who knew she would repay kindness with enmity!"

"Haha, seeing how Gu Lan talked to her so flirtatiously earlier, who knows what's going on between them..."

The female teacher turned red with anger. She hadn't expected that she would receive such harsh criticism for just expressing her thoughts. She clenched her fists and explained, "I wasn't targeting her. I just believe in treating everyone equally—"

Xiao Hui interrupted her with a cold smile. "Should we treat people and trash equally? Trash should be thrown into the trash heap."

"I declare, woman, you have offended Momo. From now on, none of us will attend your classes!"

"Anyone who listens to her is my enemy!"

The female teacher was so infuriated that she burst into tears. "You..."

Xiao Hui walked up to An Momo and gently lowered his head, offering her a tissue, and said tenderly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Then, he looked at the female teacher. "I'm waiting for you to have some self-awareness and voluntarily leave this school!"

Xiao Hui's overbearing speech hadn't finished when Gu Lan, with one hand in his pocket, walked up to him and lifted him up by his collar.

The whole class gasped in shock!

An Momo, who had been rubbing her eyes, widened them, almost going dumbfounded.

The female teacher covered her mouth in astonishment.

Gu Lan held Xiao Hui up like a struggling little chick.

She sighed in admiration that even though she was currently disguised as a boy, her strength was not small at all.

Then, she turned her head to the female teacher and said, "Don't listen to him. This guy is delusional. You were right, and what you did was right. Stay true to yourself."

After saying that, Gu Lan walked out of the classroom with Xiao Hui in hand and threw him out into the corridor.

Xiao Hui fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Due to the shock of the incident, the rest of the class hadn't reacted yet.

An Momo felt very embarrassed. Xiao Hui's weakness made her feel ashamed, and she covered her face without saying a word.

Gu Lan clapped her hands. "Indeed, people and trash can't be treated equally. So this trash should be thrown out."

The female teacher was momentarily stunned but then walked over. "You... Hitting someone is not right... It seems this student has a background; maybe you shouldn't provoke him..."

Gu Lan was about to speak when suddenly, a tall man with wheat-colored skin appeared behind Xiao Hui. He spoke coldly, "Get lost!"

Gu Lan blinked her eyes and greeted the man casually, "Yan Xiao, what a coincidence."

Xiao Hui's body trembled slightly. "Yan Xiao...?!"
