Disciplinary Committee Member

The big golden retriever, half a meter tall, tentatively edged one paw forward.

The girl with twin ponytails screamed in fright and waved even harder. "Don't come over! I warned you not to come over!"

The golden retriever immediately backed up two steps, aggrieved, let out two choked whimpers, and froze in place.

You successfully discovered traces of a Magical Beast. This Magical Beast has golden fur all over and is enormous in size, showing that its cultivation is not shallow. It seems to be fighting fiercely with a female hero. Will you help, or protect yourself?

So the so-called Magical Beast was this big golden retriever. The dog was not even baring its teeth. Didn't it look pretty well-behaved?

Lin Zhengran got off the bike and walked over. The closer he got, the more he felt the girl looked a little familiar.

Her voice also sounded like he had heard it somewhere before.

He came up behind the girl and called out to her, scaring her so badly she lost her head and screamed. Hugging the Little Golden Retriever in her arms, she curled into a ball, crouched on the ground, and shouted, "Help, help! Police Uncle, help!"

Lin Zhengran did not understand what was going on, but he recognized her too. "Jiang Xueli?"

When Jiang Xueli heard a human voice and realized the big dog had not bitten her, she slowly opened her tear-bright eyes.

"Huh?" She looked up at the person before her. "L-Lin Zhengran?"

The two of them were in the same class. Jiang Xueli was the class's Disciplinary Committee Member, in charge of discipline and rectifying unhealthy trends in the class.

And because Lin Zhengran always slept in class or read extracurricular books—and the books he read were usually the kind ordinary people could not understand—Jiang Xueli had a pretty deep impression of him.

Lin Zhengran was curious. "What are you doing? You've been yelling nonstop."

Jiang Xueli came back to herself. As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she quickly stood up and hid beside Lin Zhengran, pointing at the big dog in the distance.

"Lin Zhengran! Hurry and protect this Puppy with me! That Big Yellow Dog was about to bite this Little Yellow Dog to death just now! Look, there's blood on the Puppy's body! If I hadn't rescued this Puppy, it would've died!"

"Blood?"

Lin Zhengran looked at the puppy in her arms and did indeed notice some red around its mouth and eyes. But the red was a very strange color, not like blood at all, and there were no wounds on its face. There were even some strange seeds mixed into the color...

He tentatively dabbed a bit onto his finger and was utterly speechless. "Why do I feel like this is dragon fruit?"

"Huh?" Jiang Xueli looked blank. "Dragon fruit? What dragon fruit?"

Lin Zhengran looked at the big golden retriever in the distance, whose face was full of grievance at being wronged. In any case, the truth could only be one!

"If I'm not mistaken, this big golden retriever should be this Little Golden Retriever's mother. Why don't you put the Little Golden Retriever on the ground and see if it runs over?"

Jiang Xueli froze, but soon refuted him at the top of her lungs. "H-How is that possible! I saw that big dog biting the puppy's head with my own eyes just now."

Lin Zhengran could not be bothered to say more. He took the puppy from her arms and set it on the ground. The Little Golden Retriever wagged its tail and happily trotted over to nuzzle its mother.

The big golden retriever licked the dragon fruit flesh from her child's face, barked twice at Lin Zhengran in gratitude, then turned and left.

You rescued the Magical Beast mother and daughter and received the Magical Beast's blessing. Charm +1

Jiang Xueli stood there as if petrified, like a wooden dummy.

Lin Zhengran asked, "What do you have to say now?"

"T-This... this..."

Lin Zhengran repeated after her, "This... this... this?"

Jiang Xueli blushed, closed her eyes, and said, "Even if that's the case, I meant well." She clenched both fists, her arms straight, looking completely like a tsundere. "What's with that look in your eyes? It's like you're looking at an idiot!"

Lin Zhengran felt she was rather self-aware. "Why are you getting so worked up? I didn't even say anything."

The strong-willed Jiang Xueli blushed, made to feel so embarrassed by that one sentence.

After a while, Police Uncle came over and asked who had been shouting for help just now. Lin Zhengran pointed at Jiang Xueli without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Xueli instantly felt so ashamed she wished she could sink into the ground.

In a panic, she hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head, her twin ponytails swinging back and forth. "No, no, Police Uncle, I didn't shout! Nothing happened just now!"

The police officer smiled helplessly and left. Adults did not take children's playing around too seriously.

Lin Zhengran was also about to head back.

At that moment, however, Jiang Xueli clenched her little fists, struggled and struggled with herself, and in the end still closed her eyes and shouted, "Thank you for saving me just now! I'm someone who knows exactly what grudges and favors are!"

Lin Zhengran looked back.

She was so embarrassed she bit her lip.

After waiting a while, someone deliberately asked, "What did you say just now? I didn't hear you clearly."

Jiang Xueli had not expected to have to say it again. Her face turned even redder, and she stammered, "I-I said..."

Lin Zhengran's face was expressionless. He had not expected there really to be such a personality as tsundere in real life. "Actually, I heard you. You're welcome."

Jiang Xueli watched Lin Zhengran leave, blinked a few times, muttered to herself, "What's wrong with him," then muttered, "I feel so embarrassed," covered her face, and ran away from the scene too.

Before they knew it, another week had passed.

That day, Lin Zhengran and Little He Qing went to school together. As they walked down the road, Lin Zhengran suddenly noticed the Disciplinary Committee Member, Jiang Xueli, walking toward him from the opposite direction.

But after the other girl saw him, her body stiffened, and she actually hurriedly ran away. This had in fact already happened several times over the past week.

Little He Qing had not seen the girl just now. She only saw the puzzled Lin Zhengran, and asked in a tiny voice, "Lin Zhengran, what are you looking at?"

Lin Zhengran gave an oh. "Nothing."

Little He Qing looked utterly puzzled, not understanding what was going on.

Lin Zhengran didn't understand either, until one self-study class, when he finally learned the reason.

The teacher wasn't in the classroom that period. Some classmates chatted, some slept, and Lin Zhengran belonged to the latter group.

Jiang Xueli, the Disciplinary Committee Member, really couldn't stand listening anymore and stood up. "Stop making noise! This is self-study! If you keep being noisy, I'll write all your names on the blackboard!"

Everyone went quiet for a short while, but soon the classroom grew noisy again, making Jiang Xueli clench her little fists and grit her teeth in anger.

The position of Disciplinary Committee Member was a very special one at school, because the class monitor was also responsible for maintaining discipline, which overlapped with the Disciplinary Committee Member's duties. So Jiang Xueli ended up seeming rather useless and thankless, like she was just there to draw everyone's hatred.

She walked up to the lectern and, in order, swiftly wrote the names of those who weren't following discipline on the blackboard.

But when she got to Lin Zhengran, Jiang Xueli froze for a moment and skipped over him.

Unfortunately, someone sharp-eyed noticed it right away. "Jiang Xueli, why aren't you writing Lin Zhengran's name? He was sleeping too!"

Jiang Xueli turned back in a panic, stammering, "Wh-what do you mean I didn't write it?! I was just about to! What's your rush?!"

"Liar! You were writing them in order before, but you just didn't write Lin Zhengran!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhengran looked over curiously. Jiang Xueli met Lin Zhengran's eyes, then turned back to face the blackboard with a red face. "I'll write it right now!"

But she only wrote the character for Lin and then stopped, instead wiping away all the names she had written earlier in one go.

She shouted at the class, "Stop making noise! I'm giving you one last chance. If you make noise again, I'll really write all your names on the blackboard!"

After saying that, she stepped down from the lectern. When she returned to her seat, she awkwardly met Lin Zhengran's eyes again.

A boy in the class saw this and, half understanding, shouted, "Disciplinary Committee Member, do you like Lin Zhengran?"
