Maybe They Play Arknights

Isn't this just saying I'm stupid?

With such self-awareness, Yaochuan Guang pouts like a pufferfish, "No way... I can still get good grades even when I do Xiao Cui's problems."

That's a primary school student's question!

If you still can't get good grades, then that's really outrageous.

"..." Cong Yu gave Yaochuan Guang a disdainful look, then kicked her butt with her leg. "We're here. You take Xiao Cui inside, I'll wait for you outside."

"..."

"!!!" Yaochuan Guang's eyes widened as he pointed at Cong Yu: "Cong Yu- chan, what you just did looks like something a high school girl should do!"

As she said this, Yaochuan Guang felt she should kick back with a similar motion, and she enthusiastically hooked her leg...

Then he kicked himself in the butt.

"Ouch--"

"..." JKs kicking each other's butts, this action seems to have become popular because of recent anime, and it's considered a cute and fun little gesture.

However, for Cong Yu, this actually conveys the message "Climb, climb, climb, climb for me"... This is the gap of the times.

The future is the future, that's beyond question.

Thinking of this, Cong Yu's expression remained unchanged. She simply sat down in the chair, looked at Yaochuan Guang who was clutching his bottom, and led Xiao Cui into the barbershop.

Xiao Cui's hair has grown quite long, especially around her temples, and it often feels itchy; it's time for her to get it trimmed.

"..." Cong Yu silently looked at her phone, sighed, and took off her hair tie, letting her hair fall loose in an instant...

His hair is so long now, it's almost down to his butt. He should probably use the Sword of the Seven Emperors to cut himself.

Or perhaps, should we bother the Snow Woman just once in a while?

(Snow Woman: Great!)

But I decided against it; letting it grow longer wasn't a bad idea either. I just put it under my bottom as a cushion.

(Snow Woman:...)

With that in mind, Cong Yu straightened her hair and tied it back into her usual long ponytail.

Then...

"Drip-drip-drip--"

"Drip, drip, drip!"

"..." Ah, it's raining.

Cong Yu, with her hair tied up, looked up at the raindrops that were beginning to fall, and for some reason, she started watching the rain.

It fell coldly, landing silently on the road.

It was a lukewarm rain.

It carried no warmth whatsoever, as if performing a mechanical task, exuding an indescribable indifference.

In the cold rain, people hurried by, placing their briefcases on their heads, each fulfilling their role as passersby and strangers.

"Da la da la--"

Then, as Cong Yu watched all this with indifference, a commotion came from the vending machine next to her.

It sounds a bit like a knocking sound.

"Da la da la--"

"..." Cong Yu stood up with some curiosity, walked into the rain, and moved closer while letting the raindrops hit her body.

Then, a small snake with a wagging tail appeared before him.

It was a short, chubby snake hiding next to the vending machine, looking up at the rain shelter...

A "crackling" sound came from the tail.

It looks adorable overall, like it stepped right out of an anime. Its body looks soft and fluffy, with hardly any scales.

Cong Yu: "..."

Then, seemingly noticing Cong Yu watching it, the little snake trembled with fright and crawled to a corner, shivering.

A rattlesnake? But its appearance is rather strange, and surprisingly, it looks very human-like... Is it a monster?

"Cong Yu- chan? Why are you in the rain?"

Then, Yaochuan Guang's surprised expression came from behind. Then she pulled Xiao Cui along and ran over.

They were also getting rained on.

Seeing the small snake shrink even closer because of Yaochuan Guang's appearance, Cong Yu asked, "Are you afraid of snakes?"

"Ah?"

Unsure why Cong Yu asked that, Yaochuan Guang curiously leaned closer to take a look, then exclaimed in surprise, "Nozuchi! So cute, is it taking shelter from the rain?"

It seems Yaochuan Guang n't afraid of snakes.

"Nozuchi, what is that?"

Cong Yu asked this question, and Yaochuan Guang immediately provided an explanation.

"It's just a legend, a legend about a fat, short snake."

"..." The three of them stood in the cold rain, staring at the shivering little snake, their expressions revealing its nervousness.

Yaochuan Guang immediately pressed his warm body against hers, shaking Cong Yu's arm and saying, "Cong Yu- chan! Let's take her home and raise her!"

Making this suggestion, Yaochuan Guang looked at Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, are you afraid of snakes? What about you, Cong Yu? If you are... never mind."

Xiao Cui shook her head at this.

As for Cong Yu, it goes without saying that it's rather strange that he's afraid of snakes... because his own prototype is also a snake.

However, things don't look so good on Lantian Zhu's side...

She may have PTSD related to snakes.

Thinking this, Cong Yu picked up the trembling Nozuchi with one hand and stroked its head... It was very fat, and it felt really good.

"Why do you want to pick up everything you see and keep it as a pet? If this keeps up, our house will soon become a zoo."

Cong Yu made this assessment.

Yaochuan Guang: "???"

A zoo? But we've never had any pets at home.

Seeing Yaochuan Guang's puzzled expression, Cong Yu pointed at Yaochuan Guang and then at Xiao Cui: "Look... a dog, and a cat."

Yaochuan Guang's face instantly turned into a pufferfish again, but he barked like a dog. "Woof woof... Woof! Why are you still holding onto this, woof!"

Xiao Cui:...

Xiao Cui didn't quite understand, but she was greatly shocked... Could this be some kind of special way of playing?

Thinking this, Xiao Cui gently raised her hand, waved it like a lucky cat, and meowed in confusion, "Meow?"

Wow! So cute!

Yaochuan Guang looked at the adorable Xiao Cui, his eyes shining, and then, as if remembering something, asked, "What kind of animal is Little Lan?"

Cong Yu thought about it uncertainly.

"Um..."

The image of a magical girl with eerie blue wings on her back, launching a flying kick with a mixture of fear and determination, came to mind.

"..."

"I'm a magical girl too, really!"

Yaochuan Guang complained, pouting as she poked Cong Yu's waist. "But weren't you also someone I picked up and took home...? Look, weren't you?"

Ah, that's not wrong either.

Cong Yu thought to herself, smiled gently, and held the plump Nozuchi, watching it wriggle in her hand.

"Let's leave it at that then... Okay, time to go back."

--

"Aaaaaah!!! There's a snake... Take it away, take it away!!!"

Lantian Zhu seemed to be having a strong reaction. Although it was a little less intense than her reaction to the cockroaches she had encountered before, she was still very nervous. "You're not allowed to keep them! Little Guang, if you keep them, I'm definitely moving out!"

"..."

"Ugh... How could this be?"

Yaochuan Guang, puzzled, grabbed the struggling little snake and showed it to Lantian Zhu: "Look, isn't it cute?"

Lantian Zhu: "Ahhh... um--"

Finally, Lantian Zhu fainted.

Therefore, the Nozuchi was entrusted to Yuan'an Alisa. Although Gareth Yuan'an usually took care of it, but that's another story...

Summer vacation is almost over, thanks to the cold rain and the embrace of the magical girl who dispels the chill...

Has anything changed?

Perhaps.

To put it simply, snakes are such easy-to-understand animals... They're cold, but if you keep them warm, they'll get cozy, and then they'll think—

The big tree branch (owner) seems to be doing quite well.

Open a bounty

This is my first time offering a bounty, so I don't have much experience.

In short...

An extra chapter will be added for every 5000 yuan donation.

50 blades plus one more.

Recommendation votes and monthly tickets... can I shamelessly ask for them?

(^^*).

Each month, we calculate the amount of extra chapters needed and the chapters owed. We will try our best to make up for them before the book is finished. If there are any unfinished chapters, we will continue to make up for them when the next book is released. There is no need to worry about abandoning the book.

If this book gets abandoned, I'll just gender-swap it into the Mad Moon Maiden!

If you send a treasure chest, I'll add an extra chapter on top of the reward calculation... let's say an extra 5 chapters.

Although I don't think there will be any need to use these rules.

I hope I don't ramble on and on only to find no one giving me a tip, and it turns out I'm just putting on a one-man show.

Oops! No way! (crying)

Chapter 206 might be Arknights player

By early September, the Wind City had shed the sweltering heat of August and become cool... or rather, not just in summer.

The same is true in winter.

The environment in Wind City is always inexplicably pleasant... The summer breeze is cool, while the winter breeze is warm.

In the new semester, students also begin to play their own new personas... which is perfectly normal.

Students of this age often imagine themselves as characters from movies, TV shows, or popular anime, creating a humorous effect.

"I will protect everyone at the Manaria Academy!"

"Where did this Manaria Academy come from...? There's only Wind City High School, okay?"
