Outside the Seventh Dorm,
A teacher in his thirties walked in from outside,
"Are there any new Work-Study Students? Step forward."
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the other student rose from their beds at the same time.
The teacher looked ordinary, with light green hair. He held a set of bedding in his arms. "Which one is Tang San?"
Tang San hurriedly stepped forward.
The teacher said, "My name is Mo Hen. You can call me Teacher Mo. Tang San, this bedding is from the Grandmaster."
Tang San accepted the bedding. Though the cover was not fancy, a dry, fresh scent wafted over her. It was all brand-new.
There was even a pillow inside. The Grandmaster had clearly thought everything through for her.
Mo Hen looked around and discovered that there were only two Work-Study Students. "Where's the other one?"
Xiao Wu took the initiative to answer, "He went out."
Mo Hen nodded.
"Just tell him what I'm about to say when he gets back."
"You three are first-year Work-Study Students. From now on, you'll be responsible for cleaning the garden south of the training field."
"Ten Copper Soul Coins a day. Remember, it must be cleaned every day. In particular, all debris must be cleared away. Otherwise, your pay will be docked."
"If you slack off, the academy has the right to expel you. Understood?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded together, indicating that they understood.
Mo Hen said, "Tomorrow is the opening ceremony. Classes officially begin the day after tomorrow. First-year Class One is on the first floor of the teaching building."
"Just make sure you attend class on time the day after tomorrow. You'll also begin your regular work then."
"I'll conduct random inspections from time to time. All right, get some rest."
"Wang Sheng, you're the oldest here. Tell them all the rules."
Mo Hen did not linger and quickly left.
Holding the bedding in her arms,
Tang San felt a warmth in her heart. The Grandmaster's somewhat stiff face could not help surfacing in her mind.
Though he was a little older, he was still quite handsome.
She did not mind that Yu Xiaogang was older. After all, if she counted her age before transmigrating, she had been in her thirties or forties herself. Their ages were just right.
At that moment, she could not help sighing.
Having a boyfriend was wonderful. He would even get her bedding.
Xiao Wu and Ye Ying, the other two Work-Study Students, had gotten nothing at all.
By comparison, Tang San's sense of superiority rose at once.
Still, she had no idea what Ye Ying had gone out to do just now.
He had even asked where the store was.
Could he have gone shopping?
She herself had no money. Ye Ying was only an orphan, so how could he have any money?
The next moment, Ye Ying returned carrying a quilt.
Ye Ying had casually found someone and asked where there was a nearby store before heading out.
There was a supermarket right beside the dormitory, making things very convenient.
Naturally, he had gone to buy some essential daily necessities.
Work-Study Students were simply provided with a place to stay.
They were given nothing else.
It was basically just a bed at the start.
He was not short on money. He could make it whenever he wanted and spend it whenever he wanted. The whole point was to spend lavishly.
Xiao Wu looked at the large bedding set in Ye Ying's hands,
Then at the bedding Tang San held in her arms.
At last, she discovered a major problem.
She had no bedding at all!
"Xiao San, can the two of us sleep together for now?"
Xiao Wu took the initiative to ask Tang San,
"We're both girls."
"I don't have bedding right now. Once I buy some later, we can sleep separately."
Tang San agreed without even thinking.
"Sure."
If this had been the original plot, Tang San would have been embarrassed, but now that they were both girls, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
The two beds were quickly pushed together. Once the quilt was spread out, there was more than enough room for two people to sleep.
Seeing this, Ye Ying could hardly suggest that Xiao Wu sleep with him.
Wouldn't that make him a pervert?
With the dormitory matters settled, it was time to head to the cafeteria for dinner.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were both broke and did not have a single coin between them.
Ye Ying was exceedingly generous.
He treated them.
In an instant, Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled whenever she looked at Ye Ying.
Ye Ying directly treated all the Work-Study Students to a meal.
They went straight to the second floor, where they could order dishes.
As long as one had money, one could basically order whatever one wanted.
And what he ordered was nothing else.
Rabbit.
They would eat until they were full.
When Xiao Wu heard that they were eating rabbit, she fell silent.
"I'm a little sad."
"Bunnies are so cute. How can you eat bunnies?"
"I can't bear to watch. I love little rabbits the most."
Ye Ying asked,
"Then what should we do?"
Xiao Wu thought for a moment.
"Saving a little is better than saving none."
"Should each of us save half a rabbit first?"
Ye Ying was dumbfounded.
I thought you didn't eat rabbits.
I thought you wanted me to buy them all and release them.
So this was your way of saving them?
Rabbit: Are you trying to save me? You're after my body!
Future Xiao Wu: Are you trying to help me save rabbits? You're after my body!
Ye Ying nodded.
"That works. Then each of us will save half a rabbit first. Those who can manage more should save more."
"There's no upper limit to this kind of rescue effort. Save as many as you can."
Xiao Wu grinned. "I want mine spicy!"
Xiao Wu ate her half of spicy rabbit with great relish.
Especially when it was paired with milk tea.
She had never eaten anything this good in her life.
The more she looked at Ye Ying, the more pleasing he became.
It was like a poorly raised girl falling for a blond delinquent.
Just as everyone finished eating and prepared to leave,
Tang San spotted someone familiar at a glance.
Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San quickly walked over.
"You came to eat too."
Yu Xiaogang nodded.
"Come to my place. I'll show you where it is."
"Sure."
Tang San agreed immediately.
By then, Wang Sheng and the others already knew that Ye Ying and Tang San had come from the same village.
"Brother Ying, so Tang San knows the Grandmaster?"
Ye Ying nodded.
"Of course she knows him. He's her boyfriend."
His voice was not quiet.
Nearly everyone nearby heard him.
The previously noisy cafeteria instantly fell silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
Their faces were full of disbelief.
"They're boyfriend and girlfriend!"
"Brother Ying, you didn't get that wrong, did you?"
Ye Ying said indifferently, "How could I possibly be wrong?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
"Tang San told me herself."
The people from the Work-Study Student dorm swallowed hard.
Wang Sheng even said it outright without any reservations.
"These two really are... this is practically a romance across worlds."
"A man in his forties or fifties dating a six-year-old little girl."
"How thick-skinned does he have to be?"
"As expected of the Grandmaster. The entire academy probably has no one else capable of doing something like this."
"After all, it isn't easy to freeload for over a decade."
When Yu Xiaogang heard this, his face instantly turned green.
He was not someone inclined to explain himself.
With a green face, he grabbed Tang San's hand and headed outside.
Tang San suddenly turned back.
She stared fiercely at Wang Sheng.
"If you don't want to spar with me again, then don't make reckless comments about my boyfriend. Otherwise, I absolutely won't hold back next time!"
"I think you already have a death wish!"
