I Don't Want to Sit with That Guy

Mo Yu watched Xiao Ge leave the classroom with the rest of the class. Wang Dongliu felt a little surprised, but she could only follow them into the classroom.

As soon as she walked in, Wang Dongliu saw the seat beside Mo Yu—the one that had made her feel so uncomfortable. The rest of the classroom was already full, and only the seat beside him remained empty.

Wang Dongliu stood where she was, unwilling to sit in that spot.

She absolutely couldn't sit beside Mo Yu!

Just then, an elderly woman walked in from outside. At a glance, she spotted Wang Dongliu standing in the middle of the classroom, and her brows furrowed.

"If you won't find a seat, do I have to tell you to sit down?"

Was this the stern old woman Xiao Ge had mentioned?

Wang Dongliu took a deep breath and answered calmly, "I won't sit beside him. Unless you want me to switch seats with someone, I absolutely refuse!"

"Oh?"

If a normal person heard such an outrageous answer, they might have been a little angry. But Zhou Ji looked intrigued.

"Teacher, your friend has a bit of a conflict with him?"

Zhou Ji gazed at Wang Dongliu with a look that seemed more rebellious than merely defiant. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to refuse so boldly, right in front of the stern teacher. Wang Dongliu's words had already annoyed her.

Mo Yu clenched his jaw. His face turned slightly pale, and he had no idea why Wang Dongliu would provoke the teacher like this.

"I don't have any conflict with him. I just really don't want to sit beside a guy. Last night, I dreamed that he got into a fight and knocked someone out. I'm not about to sit here and then suddenly get dragged into some kind of trouble by him."

Wang Dongliu's mind worked quickly. She immediately used what Mo Yu had told her yesterday to come up with an excuse.

But Xiao Ge had already stood up from his seat, his expression calm. "That person he fought yesterday was my enemy. That's why I..."

Zhou Ji's expression dimmed a little.

She'd thought her friend had gotten into a fight with some guy. So they were acquainted after all.

"Teacher, then you understand. Since we know each other, may I sit down now?"

"No. I still refuse."

Wang Dongliu didn't even look at Xiao Ge. She directly brought up the time he'd beaten up that guy yesterday. "Since he's your enemy, then that makes it even worse. He has no self-control and got into a fight right in front of his enemy. I don't want to sit beside someone so reckless."

"You!"

Mo Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger as he turned toward Wang Dongliu.

He admitted that he'd gotten carried away yesterday. But that guy had been a bad sort, too. It wasn't as if he'd picked a fight with some innocent person just because he was in a bad mood.

A hint of annoyance appeared in Zhou Ji's eyes. But Wang Dongliu was sitting beside her, and she had to respect her teacher's rules.

There was nothing she could do. Zhou Ji had no choice but to pick up her things and sit down beside Xiao Ge, leaving her seat to Wang Dongliu.

As for why she hadn't told the teacher to expel Wang Dongliu...

Zhou Ji had considered it, but then she thought that getting Wang Dongliu expelled might affect her own lessons, so she forced herself to hold back.

"You, go sit down. You can sit beside him."

Zhou Ji pointed at Xiao Ge, who had nowhere else to sit, and spoke evenly. "You got into a fight with someone?"

Mo Yu's heart tightened. But since Wang Dongliu had already exposed everything, he could only nod awkwardly.

Zhou Ji said nothing. She simply glanced at Xiao Ge, her eyes carrying an interest that seemed a little too strong.

She liked it when her students fought and dared to take risks. That was one thing she really admired.

But she didn't like it when her own students lost their fights!

"Has anyone else gotten into a fight in the past few days? No? Hah! Since it's a fight, then everyone except him must've been involved. Run a hundred laps! Now! Move!"

Fortunately, Duoduo had been assigned to a different class from him, ending up in the classroom of the freshmen's ninth class. She looked at Xiao Ge sitting beside her, unsure what to say.

What a coincidence. The seating arrangements hadn't changed, either, so she still had no idea what the other person was thinking.

Just thinking about Duoduo sitting beside him and being able to read the contents of his diary made Xiao Ge feel as if ants were crawling all over him.

"Xiao Ge."

The sudden call jolted Xiao Ge from his reverie. At just the right moment, he met Duoduo's eyes—clear as sparkling stars, yet somehow revealing nothing even at such close range.

Xiao Ge's breathing caught.

It was only then that he realized Duoduo was an absolute beauty, with a lively spark in her eyes. Still, he had to admit she was incredibly good-looking.

That was true.

No matter how he looked at it, Duoduo was the daughter of a powerful clan, raised from childhood as a cherished young lady. Both her parents were handsome and beautiful. It was no surprise she'd grown up so lovely.

"After class, how about you come with me and Xiao Mi for a walk? It got too late yesterday, and there were a lot of places we didn't get to see. For example, that amusement park. What do you think?"

Go to the amusement park?

Xiao Ge was stunned for a few seconds. Then he nodded stiffly, while his mind quietly began to calculate.

The awkwardness between Duoduo and me is that she knows I have a diary, and I know she knows I have a diary, but she doesn't know that I know she knows I have a diary.

So the best thing to do now is...

Pretend I don't know she knows I have a diary.

That's probably the safest option.

As for that diary... I'd better change it. After all, its contents are pretty outrageous. Even I feel embarrassed when I read it, so I should probably stop writing it.

Xiao Ge could still tell the difference between what was important and what wasn't.

[About going to the amusement park: I had no choice but to bring up Mo Yu's amazing abilities. Anyone who went to the amusement park with a friend would naturally want to show off their own fighting skills. But after the two of them went in, the most ordinary hundred-year soul beast was enough to leave them both sprawled on the ground. They even used their second soul skill to imitate a ten-thousand-year soul beast. And that was on top of their second martial souls, which were a thirty-nine-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.]

[That guy's manipulation skills are clever, but also a little shameless... He left someone else's amusement-park soul beast covered in snot and drool, and the amusement park had to close for a while. It was such a waste of public resources!]

[Putting myself in the shoes of the old man who raised that scorpion, I can't help thinking he must have been furious. He must've spent so much effort raising a soul beast worthy of going down in history, only for those two kids to show up and turn it into a giant scorpion with a runny nose and drool dripping everywhere.]

[That's what happens when Mo Yu starts showing off his second martial soul. He's got the Ice Jade Scorpion physique, and if he doesn't keep his strength in check, he could be slapped to death by an old dragon.]
