Xiao Xiao the Face-Lover and Baozi Qingya

However, the next few days proved that Zhou Huan had overthought things. He did not have the Luck of a Boss.

Wen Xiaoshuai was still Wen Xiaoshuai. It was just that during that first hour after they met, Zhou Huan had not truly understood his roommate's real personality.

In crowded places, such as the cafeteria or Shrek Plaza, Wen Xiaoshuai was still that shy Youth. He spoke very little, and even when talking to Zhou Huan, he kept his voice soft.

But back in the dormitory, Wen Xiaoshuai became much more lively, as though he were a different person. Even his tone of voice was noticeably more confident.

Only then did Zhou Huan finally understand. Wen Xiaoshuai clearly had some kind of social anxiety.

Being able to communicate normally when facing one person or a few people, but becoming nervous and unable to socialize normally in crowded settings—this was clearly a psychological disorder.

In Zhou Huan's original world, what was this condition called again?

Zhou Huan could not quite remember. He only recalled that this sort of psychological barrier was not easy to resolve.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, what are you thinking about?" Wen Xiaoshuai's timid voice sounded beside him.

The two of them were currently on their way to the classroom. Today was the first day of school.

Unsurprisingly, both Zhou Huan and Wen Xiaoshuai had been assigned to Freshman Class One, with Zhou Yi as their Class Advisor.

"Nothing. I was just imagining what kind of person our Class Advisor might be," Zhou Huan answered casually.

When he heard the words "Class Advisor," Wen Xiaoshuai's face twitched. He shuddered all over, swallowed, and then said in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, believe me, never go against Zhou Yi. Whatever she says, we do. Don't ask too many questions either."

Zhou Huan: "...All right."

Well, he was now 99.9 percent certain that Old Wen was the descendant of some teacher or big shot at Shrek Academy.

This "damned second generation"—Zhou Huan admitted that he was a little jealous. He wanted to be a "second generation" too.

After entering the classroom, Zhou Huan and Wen Xiaoshuai found seats toward the back and sat down.

The classroom was huge, and many people had already arrived. It was loud and bustling.

To Zhou Huan, this was exactly like the first day back at school in his previous life as a student.

No matter the world, young people's temperaments would not differ all that much.

Zhou Huan knew Wen Xiaoshuai did not like talking in situations like this. Wasn't he already leaning quietly against the wall, pretending to be a silent lamb?

So Zhou Huan could only stare blankly at Class One, which was as noisy as a marketplace.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao, and her name is Wang Qingya. What are your names?"

Suddenly, the two girls at the desk in front turned around at the same time. One was a petite and lovely little girl, while the other had an ordinary figure and a bun-shaped face. The former was the one speaking. Although she had asked for both of their names, she was clearly looking at the "melancholy" Wen Xiaoshuai.

Heh heh!

Xiao Xiao, you face-lover!

Zhou Huan secretly grumbled. Wasn't Old Wen just a tiny little bit more handsome than him?

Did she have to make it so obvious?

No wonder Xiao Xiao had initially liked Wang Dong, who was so handsome he practically shed sparks, in the Original Work.

Still, despite his dissatisfaction, Zhou Huan remained polite. "My name is Zhou Huan, and his name is Wen Xiaoshuai. It's a pleasure to become classmates with you."

In fact, Zhou Huan meant it.

Although he teased Xiao Xiao for being a face-lover, he still liked this adorable little girl very much.

Of course, it was not that sort of affection between a man and a woman. It was simply appreciation for her character.

In the Original Work, Xiao Xiao's personality was absolutely the most endearing. She possessed an unyielding heart. No matter how great the hardship, even when facing a life-or-death crisis, she would never give up. This could be seen during that Soul Master Competition in the Star Luo Empire. Her tiny body contained an immensely powerful heart.

Moreover, Xiao Xiao was usually a source of joy.

And when it came to strength and talent, Xiao Xiao was also a top-tier genius.

Setting aside Wang Dong, that Godly Second Generation, Huo Gua's Second Martial Soul had been forcibly added later by the Ice Empress. In contrast, Xiao Xiao was a true Twin Martial Souls wielder, and both her Martial Souls could be called top-tier Martial Souls.

Throughout the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, aside from Death Douluo Ye Xishui, only Xiao Xiao possessed naturally occurring Twin Martial Souls.

It was just that Huo Gua had too many cheats and was the Son of Destiny, while Wang Dong was also a Godly Second Generation. The two of them grew far too quickly, completely overshadowing Xiao Xiao.

Thus, in the later parts of the Original Work, Xiao Xiao and the others were rarely described, because they simply could not keep up with Huo Gua's cheats and Wang Dong's divine nature.

Back when he had read Peerless Tang Sect, Zhou Huan had thought that if the story told of Douluo Continent after Huo Gua ascended to godhood and departed, Xiao Xiao would definitely become the most dazzling Protagonist.

But now, when the characters from the book had become real classmates, Zhou Huan's feelings were complicated.

Perhaps he could look forward to seeing those lovable characters from the Original Work reach dazzling heights in reality during this life.

"Classmate Zhou, Classmate Zhou, Zhou Huan!" Xiao Xiao waved her little hand several times in front of Zhou Huan.

"Huh? What is it?" Zhou Huan did not know why he had drifted into so many thoughts. Perhaps it was because more and more characters from the book were blending into reality.

"What do you mean, what is it? I was talking to you, and you were spacing out. Hmph." Xiao Xiao pouted unhappily.

Rather than showing anger, it only made her look cute. There was nothing she could do about it; she had been born with that face.

Unfortunately, Zhou Huan was not interested in little girls.

"Mm, what did you just say?" Zhou Huan looked at Xiao Xiao without the slightest embarrassment.

Xiao Xiao: "..."

Wang Qingya, who was beside her, rubbed her forehead and sighed softly. Helplessly, she said, "Xiao Xiao just asked whether you knew what kind of teacher our Class Advisor was, so we could prepare ourselves. Yet the two of you—one started spacing out after introducing himself, while the other is..."

Wang Qingya was somewhat speechless. For a moment, she did not know how to describe it, because she had seen Wen Xiaoshuai standing stiffly against the wall the entire time, his face slightly red, without saying a single word.

Sigh, he is quite handsome, but unfortunately, he is mute.

That was what Wang Qingya thought.

"Ahem." Zhou Huan coughed lightly and said, "Old Wen is rather introverted and does not like talking. Things will be fine once we get familiar with each other, so don't mind him."

After a pause, Zhou Huan continued, "As for our Class Advisor, here is a piece of advice: whatever she says, do it. Don't ask questions, and don't argue with her. Shrek's teachers hold far too much authority over students, and we cannot afford to provoke her right now. So... she's here. Remember what I said."

At that moment, Zhou Yi walked in and stepped onto the podium. Her hoarse voice rang out. "Quiet!"

Accompanied by a faint oppressive aura, all one hundred students in Class One fell silent and sat upright.

Crane-haired and chicken-skinned, Zhou Yi continued, "My name is Zhou Yi. I don't know how many of you will remain, but I only teach monsters. I do not teach trash..."

Blah blah, blah blah.

Zhou Huan could no longer be bothered to listen to her nonsense. It was nothing more than her bragging about how amazing she was and calling most of the people present trash.

To be honest, Zhou Huan scoffed at this sort of mindless, suppressive education.

Only incompetent people would use such teaching methods.

Besides, what did she mean by not teaching trash?

Wasn't it precisely because people had their own shortcomings that they needed teachers?

If everyone else was already a monster, would they still need her to teach them?

Was she using other people's achievements to pad her teaching résumé?

All Zhou Huan could say to that was heh heh.

Then he heard Zhou Yi ask, "Before school started, who among you has fought at Shrek? Stand up."

The result was obvious. Just as in the Original Work, only Huo Gua and Wang Dong stood up.

Thus, they received Zhou Yi's "God-level" evaluation. "You really are trash. Only two people have fought? Don't you know that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities?"

Zhou Huan no longer had the strength to complain.

Those who dared not cause trouble were mediocrities? What kind of lunatic quote was that?!

Was she really not afraid of getting beaten to death???

Fortunately, Zhou Yi's next words meant Zhou Huan no longer had to listen to such bizarre nonsense. "Now, everyone except Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, go run one hundred laps around Shrek Plaza. You must finish within one shichen, or you will be expelled."

At last, Zhou Huan no longer had to listen to her blather.

Immediately afterward, Wen Xiaoshuai, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Qingya followed Zhou Huan out of the classroom at high speed.
