Your Expression Is So Interesting, Junior

The next day.

As the night, symbolizing a final moment of peace, came to an end, the Academy District finally welcomed its official opening.

Early in the morning, the doors of the Administration Building swung open, greeting the teams formed by the students one after another.

Many students seemed eager to start earning Contribution Points, arriving at the Administration Building early to select missions in the Mission Hall.

Su Ming and the other five had also agreed to get up early and take on missions together, hoping to earn enough Contribution Points as soon as possible to avoid being expelled.

So, as the hands of the clock pointed to six, Su Ming's phone alarm rang, waking him up.

"Smack!"

Su Ming reached out a hand from under the covers and slapped his phone roughly, expressing just how heavy his morning grumpiness was.

However, Su Ming still got out of bed obediently, sleepily smoothed his hair, and then staggered into the bathroom, taking about twenty minutes to wash up and get himself together, finally regaining some energy.

As Su Ming got dressed, gathered his things, and came out of his room, the door to another room also opened.

"Senior Su Ming...?"

Jiang Wanyu walked out of her room with a hazy expression, looking like she had already washed up but still seemed listless.

"Morning."

Su Ming tentatively greeted this junior.

"Morning," Jiang Wanyu replied vaguely, yawning beautifully, and asked, "Where's Zijin? Where is everyone?"

"Don't know." Su Ming spread his hands and said, "Probably still asleep?"

At least, Lei Hao and Ye Bai should still be asleep.

Especially Ye Bai, that guy was usually a bit lazy, with a morning temper even worse than Su Ming's, and was probably still battling his alarm clock.

Lei Hao, on the other hand, was good at getting up early, being someone who insisted on morning exercises every day, but before the appointed time, he would sleep as if he could have a few black guys carry his coffin, dead as can be. If it weren't for his thunderous snoring, he probably wouldn't know how many times he'd been carried away as a dead man. An alarm clock alone wouldn't wake him up so easily.

So, waiting for those two to come out would definitely take some time.

"Okay."

Jiang Wanyu nodded sleepily.

Last night, she and Yao Beibei had chatted until very, very late, so she was also a bit sleep-deprived.

Because of this, Yao Beibei probably hadn't woken up yet either.

As for An Zijin, Jiang Wanyu knew very well that she was also a heavy sleeper, and one of her favorite things to do was to get a good night's sleep. If she got up too early, she might be so confused that she couldn't even find her way to the bathroom.

To this end, Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu had teased An Zijin more than once, saying that her cuteness all came from sleeping, and that she got more beauty sleep than anyone else.

In summary, of the group of six, Su Ming and Jiang Wanyu were the first to get up.

"Let's wait for them for half an hour," Su Ming said, glancing at the time displayed on his phone screen, seemingly casually, "If they're not up after half an hour, we'll just kick down the door and pull off the covers."

So violent?

Jiang Wanyu's yawning posture paused slightly.

But soon, Jiang Wanyu looked at Su Ming with a wary expression.

"Senior, don't even think about barging into Zijin's room, okay?"

Jiang Wanyu opened her arms, blocking An Zijin's door, looking vigilant.

"...That's your first reaction?"

Su Ming's mouth twitched, looking at Jiang Wanyu's expression with a very strange look.

Jiang Wanyu did not relax her vigilance.

"Who told my Zijin to be so cute?" Jiang Wanyu said as a matter of course, "With such a cute child living under this roof, not only men, but even women can't help but break into her room!"

"Is that so?" Su Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Then do you want to break into Little Zijin's room right now?"

"I don't need to!" Jiang Wanyu raised her head and chest, looking triumphant, "I'm already Zijin's roommate, I don't need to break in, I can just go in directly!"

So you still want to go in?

Su Ming looked at the triumphant Jiang Wanyu with dead fish eyes, then, as if thinking of something, suddenly smiled.

"I won't go in."

Su Ming said to Jiang Wanyu with a kind expression.

"Really?"

Jiang Wanyu was slightly stunned, and the vigilance in her eyes eased a little.

Not for any other reason, but simply because Su Ming's expression at this moment was indeed very kind and amiable.

However...

"Have you forgotten?" The kindness on Su Ming's face turned into mockery in the next second, causing him to say, "Little Zijin and I have slept in the same bed countless times, and we've taken baths together countless times, so why would I deliberately break into her room?"

Boom—It was as if an invisible thunderbolt had struck Jiang Wanyu's head, causing her whole body to freeze.

"You you you you you!"

Jiang Wanyu pointed at Su Ming with trembling fingers, looking utterly exasperated.

"Hahahaha!" Su Ming laughed, unable to stop himself. "Your expression is so funny, Junior."

"Don't talk to me! You bad Senior!"

Jiang Wanyu was trembling with anger, her sleepiness completely gone.

Although Jiang Wanyu knew very well that what Su Ming was talking about should have happened when she was a child, the emotions of envy or anger still made Jiang Wanyu's slender body almost crack.

Just then, An Zijin's door opened.

"Ugh... so noisy..."

An Zijin was wearing very cute pajamas, hugging a somewhat old plush doll, her hair a little messy, but for some reason, she had an irresistibly adorable feeling.

The little girl was like a big child, holding the plush doll in one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other, simply too cute for words.

"Zijin~~~"

Suddenly seeing this scene, Jiang Wanyu cupped her hands to her face, love hearts appearing in her eyes.

Even Su Ming felt his heart melting. For a moment, he didn't want this little sister to be his sister calling him Brother Su Ming, but wanted her to be his daughter calling him Daddy...

Who wouldn't want such a cute little padded jacket!?

Damn it!

"Brother Su Ming...?"

Just as Su Ming's heart was gradually starting to fall into depravity, An Zijin seemed to have finally noticed Su Ming's presence, and like Jiang Wanyu before, she called out to him with a dazed expression.

But this time, before Su Ming could respond, An Zijin giggled.

"Hehe... found Brother Su Ming..."

An Zijin, who was completely muddled with sleep, slowly shuffled to Su Ming's side and snuggled into his arms, falling onto him.

"Zijin! ∑(っ°Д°;)っ"

Jiang Wanyu screamed.

Unfortunately, An Zijin only had eyes for Su Ming.

"Brother Su Ming... wuv... mua! (*╯3╰)"

An Zijin rubbed against Su Ming's chest, then pouted her little lips and went to kiss Su Ming's astonished mouth.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyu exploded.

"Stop right there! (〝▼皿▼)"

Contestant Jiang Wanyu charged forward.

Thus, a chaotic commotion appeared in the hall, waking up the people in the rooms one after another.

By the time Lei Hao, Ye Bai, and even Yao Beibei were startled and ran out of their rooms to the hall, they saw Jiang Wanyu forcefully pulling on An Zijin, An Zijin forcefully hugging Su Ming, and Su Ming forcefully trying to break free and escape, ultimately forming a train, crashing and smashing around the hall.

"(◇)?"

Lei Hao and Ye Bai looked dumbfounded.

"(｀ω)——￣へ￣——(╬￣皿￣)"

Yao Beibei first blinked, then was confused, then her little face collapsed, and she also silently charged forward, grabbing An Zijin.

Early in the morning, Su Ming's team was incredibly lively.

This... perhaps it was a good omen?

"Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮"

At the entrance of the dormitory building, Jiang Wanyu walked out, still looking angry.

"What have I done..."

An Zijin had already woken up. After learning what good deed she had almost done, she had been in a state of shy joy.

"Bad Senior."

Yao Beibei held one of An Zijin's hands and, like Jiang Wanyu before, unhesitatingly gave Su Ming a new nickname.

"I'm innocent!"

Su Ming insisted.

But Lei Hao and Ye Bai held him up, one on each side.

"Everyone who commits a crime says that."

"Especially death row inmates."

Lei Hao and Ye Bai spoke slowly, directly convicting Su Ming.

Especially Ye Bai, the word "death penalty" explained his entire mental journey at this time.

Su Ming was unable to defend himself.

The three of them came to the Mission Hall in the Administration Building while arguing and making noise, blending into the noisy crowd.

The Mission Hall here is largely the same as the one in the Academy, save for a few minor differences in layout.

Aside from rows of seats and desks, there are only office counters, staff, and several bulletin boards that are much larger than the ones at the Academy.

Mission information is displayed on the bulletin boards, waiting for students to accept them.

The students gather here, carefully reading the missions, chattering and discussing them. Some hesitate, staying put, while others directly note down the mission numbers and head to the counter, asking the staff to register them as having accepted the mission.

Without this system, students might end up accepting the same mission and causing conflicts, except for certain missions that have unlimited attempts.

It's worth mentioning that the mission system here is the same as in the Academy, with mission difficulty divided into six levels: S, A, B, C, D, and E.

Among them, the highest difficulty Rank S Missions and the high difficulty Rank A Missions are not posted.

Missions of this difficulty are of great importance, have a very wide impact, and are very dangerous. Many of them are even secret missions that must not be leaked, so the Academy naturally wouldn't post such missions casually.

Therefore, the missions here are only of B, C, D, and E difficulty.

"What difficulty of mission should we take?"

Su Ming said.

Everyone fell into thought.
