You're Making Three Rules Too?

Xiao Yu's kick was so powerful that Lu Mu had no time to react before his chest made intimate contact with the sole of her shoe.

"Ugh--!"

Lu Mu only had time to let out a short scream before his body flew through the air like a baseball being hit, his feet leaving the ground and tracing a beautiful parabola.

Thump!

With a loud crash, water splashed everywhere, and Lu Mu slammed solidly into the icy cold lake water beside him.

Xiao Yu didn't even glance at the figure splashing in the lake. She let out a heavy snort, her chest heaving violently, clearly very angry.

She had no time to talk to Huo Yuhao. After a hasty farewell, she tossed her long, coffee-colored hair aside and strode away without looking back, her figure quickly disappearing into the crowd at the night market.

Only after Xiao Yu's figure completely disappeared did Huo Yuhao slowly walk to the lakeside. Looking at Lu Mu, who was shivering in the cold lake water and almost sinking to the bottom, he expressionlessly reached out his hand. The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi and earth transformed into a rope, wrapped around Lu Mu's waist, and pulled him out of the water, throwing him onto the grass on the shore.

Lu Mu's lips were purple from the cold, and he was soaked to the bone. He lay on the grass, coughing violently.

"Who exactly are you? We've never met before, have we?" Lu Mu raised his head, Huo Yuhao eyes filled with confusion and a hint of resentment, as if asking, "What did I do to offend you?"

Huo Yuhao squatted down in front of Lu Mu, examined the head with dripping water on its ends for a while, and nodded in satisfaction, his frustration finally subsiding a bit.

"Senior, although you've never met me, I've long admired you!" Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers, and the moisture and chill on Lu Mu's body quietly dissipated.

"Excuse me, senior, could you please hand over the handkerchief? My cousin didn't say she was giving it to you."

"No way, this is what Junior Sister Xiao Yu did for me—" Lu Mu refused outright, struggling to get up and argue with Huo Yuhao.

"Senior, please." Huo Yuhao remained squatting, patted Lu Mu's shoulder, and smiled brightly.

Lu Mu lay back down, tears welling in his eyes. He must have been moved by Huo Yuhao's sunny smile. He grimaced as he took out a handkerchief and reluctantly handed it to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao returned to the "Boys' Dormitory Building 1" with his "haul" from the night market and pushed open his room door.

This room is much more spacious than the dormitories at the Shrek Academy, but it still only accommodates two people. There are two bamboo beds, two desks, two wardrobes, a sizable balcony, and even a toilet and shower. At this moment, a student is sitting at the desk near the balcony.

The man, dressed in a blue school uniform, stood tall and straight, intently studying an ancient scroll spread out on his desk. Hearing the door open, he slowly turned around. His face was stern, his medium-length silver hair flowing freely, his eyes calm yet sharp. It was Huo Yu—

Hao transferred to Profound Class One, and the class monitor Lin Xiuya.

Lin Xiuya's gaze swept over, and upon recognizing Huo Yuhao, his sharp eyes immediately softened. He stood up, nodded slightly, and said in a slightly languid voice, "I wondered who it was, it's just Huo Yuhao."

"Class monitor." Huo Yuhao nodded and placed the things in his hand on his empty desk.

"Now that we've become roommates, there are some basic rules I'd like to discuss beforehand to avoid unnecessary trouble later." Lin Xiuya got straight to the point, his tone calm but leaving no room for argument.

"Speaking."

"One," Lin Xiuya held up one finger, "Don't bring students from other classes to the dormitory unless absolutely necessary. Especially girls."

He emphasized, a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment in his eyes. "They—are troublesome."

Lin Xiuya paused, seemingly feeling the need to explain, and added, "Some people will use some underhanded tactics."

His gaze swept meaningfully over an inconspicuous, decorative small metal sphere on the desk.

Following Lin Xiuya's gaze, Huo Yuhao also noticed the sphere. With a sweep of his mental energy, he roughly understood its purpose.

"This mechanism is ingenious; it could be used to take photos?" Huo Yuhao looked at Lin Xiuya, a hint of a smile in his eyes, "The class monitor is quite popular!"

"Second," Lin Xiuya didn't continue the topic, holding up a second finger, "Pay attention to personal hygiene. Change your clothes, sheets, and blankets frequently."

"If you really don't have time," he paused, as if making a difficult decision, "you can let me know, I—"

Halfway through his sentence, Lin Xiuya seemed to realize that what he was about to say was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words, saying, "There are public cleaning machines on each floor of the academy, so there won't be a situation where you don't have time to wash."

Huo Yuhao:

Seeing Lin Xiuya's conflicted expression, Huo Yuhao nodded. This class monitor seems to be a bit of a germaphobe?

"Three." Lin Xiuya held up his third finger. "During the break, I hope both of us can remain as quiet as possible and avoid making excessive noise."

"No problem." This request was reasonable, and Huo Yuhao readily agreed.

After the conversation ended and the atmosphere eased, Huo Yuhao looked around the double room, which was clearly only furnished with Lin Xiuya's belongings, and asked curiously, "Class monitor, why is there only one person in your dorm? Where are the others?"

Lin Xiuya seemed to have anticipated this question, and calmly replied, "This is a privilege granted to the class monitor by the academy."

Hearing Lin Xiuya's seemingly matter-of-fact tone, Huo Yuhao stared at him, his eyes filled with inquiry. "Is that so?"

Lin Xiuya met his gaze, his expression unchanged, and repeated, "That's right."

Huo Yuhao's gaze unconsciously swept over Lin Xiuya's apple—clear and prominent. However, he wasn't unfamiliar with faking an Adam's apple.

Huo Yuhao shook his head inwardly. Surely not just anyone would dress as a woman? He then suppressed the urge to use his mental power to "strip" Lin Xiuya naked.

"Oh, and one more thing, this is a rule of the academy," Lin Xiuya said, "Students are prohibited from keeping pets in their dormitories."

"Why is that?" Huo Yuhao asked with some interest as he sat down at his desk.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but it seems there was a senior student—" Lin Xiuya recalled, "He was supposedly in the Alchemy Department, and he often brought the dregs from his alchemy practice back to his dorm to feed his pets."

"So that means—" Huo Yuhao roughly understood, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"That's right!" Lin Xiuya's face showed a hint of helplessness. "His pet quickly broke through to the third tier and caused quite a bit of trouble in the dormitory area."

"If you go to the Alchemy Department, you'll see they also have a rule: no dregs or waste pills are allowed to leave."

"So what happened to this senior and his pet in the end?"

"That senior was given a warning, and his pet was adopted by an elder from the Beast Taming Area."

"No punishment at all?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly.

"No." Lin Xiuya sighed, "After all—there was no such rule before him."
