Xiao Wu came up to Ao Tian, clasping her hands behind her back and tilting her head as her large eyes stared unblinkingly at his face.

Ao Tian could not help touching his own face. "Do I have flowers on my face?"

Xiao Wu burst out laughing. "You're really funny, and you're good-looking too. You're the best-looking human I've ever seen."

Ao Tian teased, "From the sound of it, aren't you human?"

Xiao Wu froze for a moment, then stuck out her little pink tongue. "You're the one who isn't human."

Then she asked, "Are you a New Student here to register too?"

Ao Tian nodded. "I just finished registering. I'm heading to the dormitory."

Just then, Director Su finished processing Xiao Wu's paperwork. "Xiao Wu, come collect your things."

Xiao Wu turned around and skipped over to Director Su, taking the School Uniform from him.

Director Su smiled. "Perfect. You two are both Work-Study Students, and you'll both be staying in Dormitory Seven. Go over together. You'll be classmates from now on, so help each other, understand?"

"Got it, Old Grandpa," Xiao Wu replied sweetly.

Ao Tian merely nodded lightly.

Just as he was about to leave, Director Su's voice rang out again. "Oh, right, Ao Tian. Don't fight Tang San, or you'll receive a demerit and we'll notify your Parents."

Ao Tian paused without turning back. "I won't make the first move."

With that, he carried his School Uniform out of the Academic Affairs Office.

Xiao Wu hurried after him.

"That child really has character." Director Su shook his head with a smile.

"Hey, wait for me!" Xiao Wu called from behind as she chased after him with her School Uniform in her arms.

Ao Tian did not slow down, merely casting Xiao Wu a calm glance.

Though this Little Girl was plainly dressed, her features were delicate and exquisite, like a porcelain doll. She was extremely cute, a true Beauty Embryo.

Especially that long braid of hers, which bounced against her butt with every step. It gave her a distinctive charm.

"Your name is Ao Tian?" Xiao Wu turned to look at his profile. She had heard Director Su call him by name earlier.

She discovered that even Ao Tian's profile was remarkably handsome, pleasing to the eye.

Ao Tian gave a quiet "Mm."

"Since we're in the same dormitory, shall we walk together?" Xiao Wu asked.

Ao Tian answered with another "Mm."

"Do you know how to get to the dormitory?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I do."

The campus was far too small. Ao Tian did not even need to use his Divine Sense; his gaze passed through every obstacle, seeing the Dormitory Building, Dormitory Seven, and Tang San fighting his roommates inside.

Ao Tian remembered the Rules of the work-study dormitories: whoever was strongest could become the dormitory's Boss.

The Boss also had to stand up for all the Work-Study Students, which was why it was decided through strength.

Seeing that Ao Tian barely paid attention to her, Xiao Wu could not help saying, "Did you skip breakfast? Why do you only say one or two words at a time?"

"I ate," Ao Tian said.

"..." Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was lively and restless, and before long, she asked again, "Who is that Tang San? Why are you going to fight him?"

"He's also a New Student this year and our roommate. We had a disagreement earlier," Ao Tian answered.

"Don't worry." Xiao Wu raised a hand and thumped her chest loudly. "Since you're taking me to the dormitory, I'll help you beat him up."

"No need." Ao Tian glanced at Xiao Wu and shook his head.

"Are you looking down on me?" Xiao Wu glared at Ao Tian. "Don't listen to that Old Man's nonsense about the Rabbit Spirit not being strong. I'm great at fighting. You might not even be able to beat me."

"Fine, then I'll leave him to you," Ao Tian said.

"Then we're friends. You're my first friend." Xiao Wu was rather excited.

For some reason, from the very first moment she saw Ao Tian, she had found him very agreeable.

By now, the academy had become lively. Students returning to school were everywhere, and when they saw Ao Tian and Xiao Wu, their attention was immediately drawn. They pointed at the two and discussed them among themselves.

Xiao Wu noticed it as well and asked, "Why are those people talking about us?"

"They're talking about me," Ao Tian said.

"Why?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Because I'm good-looking."

Xiao Wu looked enlightened. "I think you're good-looking too."

Then she added, "I'm not bad-looking myself, so why isn't anyone talking about me?"

"They are. There are just a lot fewer than those talking about me."

"..." Xiao Wu.

Before long, they arrived at the Dormitory Building.

Without needing to ask for directions, Ao Tian headed straight toward Dormitory Seven.

"Hey, Ao Tian, have you been here before?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"No."

"Then how are you so familiar with this place?"

Ao Tian did not answer her question. Pointing at a room at the end of the hall, he said, "That's Dormitory Seven."

"I'll go take a look first." Xiao Wu said this and ran over with her School Uniform in her arms.

Ao Tian shook his head with a smile. I wonder whether this Little Girl will still ask Tang San to share a bed with her.

He felt that he had unintentionally gained Xiao Wu's friendship ahead of time. Perhaps she would choose him instead of Tang San.

That would be more fun. I'm actually looking forward to it. Ao Tian smiled confidently and quickened his pace after her.

When Xiao Wu reached the dormitory door, she politely asked, "Excuse me, is this Dormitory Seven?"

The male students inside looked over, and their eyes immediately widened.

The Little Girl outside the door could be called the prettiest Girl they had ever seen.

A few of the older boys were already unable to stop themselves from swallowing as they looked at the delectable Xiao Wu.

All the Work-Study Students were Boys. It had been a long time since there had been any Girls among them, much less such a beautiful Little Girl. It was no wonder they lost their composure.

Wang Sheng, the oldest in the dormitory, hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, this is Dormitory Seven."

Including him, many of the male students began to grow excited.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Wu—the Wu from dancing." Xiao Wu smiled sweetly.

"Hello."

"Hello."

The boys replied one after another.

Even Tang San, mature beyond his years, could not help looking at Xiao Wu several times. He had to admit that this Little Girl was adorable.

Just then, Ao Tian arrived behind Xiao Wu, and everyone's attention immediately shifted to him.

"Gasp..."

A collective intake of breath sounded inside the room.

"How can he be this handsome?" someone blurted out, his voice thick with envy and jealousy.

Those who had just been thinking about how to get closer to Xiao Wu immediately lost their confidence upon seeing Ao Tian.

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's face. Ao Tian had been lucky earlier, with a Teacher stepping in to defuse the situation.

But now that they were here, he would not be so lucky.

Perfect. He could use Dormitory Seven's Rules to teach Ao Tian a lesson. A Child who was so arrogant and self-important needed a sound beating as education. Otherwise, he might grow into a menace someday.

Before Ao Tian and Xiao Wu arrived, Tang San had already defeated Wang Sheng, the former strongest, and become the dormitory Boss.

Wang Sheng quietly poked Tang San and said, "Boss, it's your turn to show them what you can do. Give them a warning."

Tang San nodded and strode out.
