"I, I..."
Sakura's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry again.
But she couldn't refuse Xia Mu's command.
She had no choice but to take the phone with trembling hands, "I, I understand."
"Please, don't spread the photos of me."
Xia Mu nodded slightly, satisfied, and looked at two students passing by while playing around, "Go on, ask them what they think of the photo I took."
"I, I..." Sakura still lacked the courage to take that step.
Showing it to people online was one thing, since they were strangers, but showing it to people in real life made her legs go weak with fear just thinking about it.
"Hmm?" Xia Mu's gaze, filled with a cold glint, kept pressing down on Sakura's fragile heart.
"I, I understand!!"
Forced by necessity, Sakura ran out with her hands swinging, "Classmates, classmates, wait!!"
She shouted at the two students while running.
The two students, who had been playing around, heard the call and turned their heads, but the moment they saw it was a girl with glasses, they instantly lost interest.
However, the two mounds of flesh swaying on Sakura's chest caught their eyes again.
"Huff, huff..."
Sakura panted heavily, feeling that the two lumps of excess weight on her chest were dragging her down too much.
"P-please, take a look at this photo and give me your opinion..." She observed Xia Mu's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
She was terrified that if he wasn't satisfied, he would expose her immediately.
"Huh??"
The two students were a bit confused, but for the sake of Sakura's breasts, they took the phone.
When they saw the person in the photo, their eyes instantly lit up.
"Wow, so cute!!"
"You're talking nonsense, this is clearly sexy!!"
"Who is this? Looking at the background, it's a student from our school, right? Can you give me her contact information?"
Seeing the two students suddenly get excited, Sakura was startled and hurriedly snatched Xia Mu's phone back from their hands, "I, I don't know."
"I saw it online..."
Is it really that outrageous?
The way the two students' eyes turned lecherous the moment they saw the photo made Sakura feel uncomfortable.
She hurried back to Xia Mu's side, bending over and panting heavily.
Those sexy breasts kept swaying in front of Xia Mu, but unfortunately, she was dressed too modestly, revealing absolutely nothing.
"You should exercise more." Xia Mu took a sip of his drink, "How about that? I told you that you were very pretty, didn't I?"
"Actually, you can show yourself off to others with confidence; it's fine."
Hearing this, Sakura's already red face grew even hotter, and she sat back down beside Xia Mu, "I, I guess the other students liked it quite a bit..."
She returned the phone to Xia Mu and looked up into his eyes, though they always exerted an inexplicable pressure on people.
But his gaze was very pure, and she must have something he needed.
It wasn't sexual, at least...
Is that why he's helping her?
What exactly does he need...
However, looking at the students' reactions, although they were a bit excited, they didn't do anything out of line.
"Alright, I was just saying, you don't need to dwell on it."
Xia Mu watched the 20% Correction progress increase and the 10 Skill Points arrive, then stood up.
This matter had to be taken slowly; there was no rush.
Otherwise, it would only make Sakura more afraid.
"Xia, Xia Mu-san!"
Watching Xia Mu's retreating back, Sakura gathered her courage and asked, "To, tomorrow is the weekend, can you accompany me to the school rockery to take photos?"
"Sure."
Hearing Xia Mu's answer, ripples of emotion stirred in Sakura's heart for no reason.
He agreed, that's great!
Meanwhile, Xia Mu, who had walked away, looked at his System Panel and fell into deep thought.
The Skill Points awarded for Sakura's Correction progress had been halved.
This means that the lower the difficulty, the fewer the correction points awarded?
However, this is still enough to cover the Skill Points needed to max out Photography.
"Hmm..."
"Now that I have enough Skill Points, what new skill should I add?"
Xia Mu pondered this all the way until he arrived at the library.
Shiina was already used to Xia Mu always being late.
But today, she felt inexplicably disappointed. Xia Mu didn't even apologize for being late today; was he gradually starting to not care about her anymore?
So annoying, so annoying...
"Did you stay up all night reading?" Xia Mu stared at the dark circles under Shiina's eyes, wanting to chuckle.
Shiina was usually very serious and composed, but today her hair was messy and her dark circles were heavy, making her look like she had been beaten up.
"Ah..."
Shiina touched her neck and sighed slightly, "No, I was just troubled."
"Troubled?"
"What kind of trouble could it be that you can't share with a book friend you've been spending time with for over a month?" Xia Mu asked.
Shiina pursed her red lips. It was precisely because it was you that I couldn't say it.
"Clack, clack, clack."
"Hey, kid from Class D, who gave you permission to read here with someone from Class C?"
Just then, a heavy, chaotic sound of footsteps rang out.
Before the person even arrived, an arrogant voice had already sounded.
Looking over, a youth with dyed red hair and a fierce expression, his hands shoved into his pockets, walked toward Xia Mu and Shiina in a domineering manner.
His eyes held a trace of playfulness.
To him, people from Class D were nothing more than pawns to be toyed with in the palm of his hand.
Beside him, a black man with a build even more robust than Xia Mu accompanied him.
"Long Yuan Xiang?"
Shiina stood up, shielding Xia Mu, "This is the library, don't you dare mess around!"
"Xia Mu is only discussing books with me; we aren't talking about any secrets or conflicts between our classes!!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Long Yuan Xiang smiled mockingly, "That's not for you to decide; I have to confirm it myself."
"Also, Shiina, you clearly possess extraordinary talent, yet you spend all day holed up in the library."
"Why not come help me? Together, we can conquer the other classes and promote to Class A."
His face always wore an arrogant grin.
"I told you I'm not interested in those things, please leave!"
The commotion here had already attracted the attention of surrounding students.
"Who is that?"
"It's Long Yuan Xiang from Class C. He's ruthless and stops at nothing to achieve his goals. You'd better be careful and not provoke him!"
Facing the pale-faced Shiina, Long Yuan Xiang smiled and ignored her, walking right past her, "You are still useful to the class, so I won't lay a hand on you."
He arrived in front of Xia Mu and slammed his palm onto the table with a bang.
An ordinary student would likely be trembling in fear by now.
But Xia Mu merely set his book down calmly, meeting Long Yuan Xiang's wolf-like, fierce gaze without a hint of fear, "Something the matter?"
Xia Mu's reaction was somewhat unexpected for Long Yuan Xiang; that gaze was truly too calm, and it didn't look like he was faking it.
Is it a case of a newborn calf not fearing the tiger, or...
Does he have extremely strong confidence?
Interesting.
He had only come to find Shiina today, but he hadn't expected to find an even more interesting little guy.
"Didn't you hear what I just said?"
"Get away from Shiina, understand?"
Long Yuan Xiang leaned his head closer to Xia Mu, his brow furrowed into a knot, his face resembling that of a murderer.
The surrounding students were all terrified.
They didn't doubt for a second that Long Yuan Xiang would dare to take action against that male student who was standing up to him right here.
"Don't go too far!!"
A surge of anger rose in Shiina's heart, and she tried to pull Long Yuan Xiang away, but she was blocked by Albert, who was wearing sunglasses.
His figure was like a mountain, making it impossible for Shiina to get past him.
