Chapter 116

"I heard some things from Qingshui. What were you doing with Teacher Ye in her office just now?"

"That girl, Nan Qingshui, really has a sharp tongue."

Looking at the information that suddenly appeared, Wu Liang touched his nose and smiled helplessly.

So he really went to see Su Qian. Can't that girl Nan Qingshui stop jumping to conclusions from every little thing...?

"There was a slight mishap. That girl misunderstood. Teacher Ye and I were just discussing some things."

"Then I just accidentally offended Teacher Ye, so she just pressed me down on the sofa as a warning."

He quickly typed two sentences on the screen.

Although his actions with Ye Luotong were indeed somewhat ambiguous and too close.

But neither of them had any other intentions; they were simply discussing topics from the comic convention.

However, Ye Luotong was indeed impulsive; even if she was ashamed and indignant, she shouldn't have done such a thing in the office.

Nan Qingshui is relatively well-behaved. If she were seen by a gossipy student, things wouldn't be as easy to handle as they are now.

"So that's how it was. I knew Qingshui's description of me was a bit exaggerated."

"It seems Qingshui acted rashly. She shouldn't have angered Teacher Ye to that extent. What exactly did she do?"

"It's no big deal."

"What, you don't trust me? You think I'd talk nonsense?"

"That's not the case. It's just that Teacher Ye is standing right next to me right now. If I were to lie, you might have to come and collect my corpse."

"..."

After sending the message, Wu Liang turned to look at Ye Luotong, who was now standing beside him without anyone noticing.

They're really vigilant. They even monitor me when I'm exchanging WeChat messages with Su Qian.

"How do you see what I did, Teacher Ye?"

Wu Liang turned the phone screen towards Ye Luotong and said with a smile.

He wasn't actually that interested in Ye Luotong's secret, just as he had said before.

Everyone has their own hobbies, and Ye Luotong's hobby of cosplay is nothing to hide.

"Isn't what you're doing indirectly telling Su Qian that something's going on between us?"

Ye Luotong frowned and looked at Wu Liang with dissatisfaction.

Although the boy did not reveal her secret.

But isn't this way of describing it just telling Su Qian that she can't speak up because she's being watched by him?

"With Su Qian's abilities, it's easy for her to deduce from Nan Qingshui's description that there's a problem between you and me, Teacher Ye."

"In that case, you might as well just be honest and make it clear that you don't want anyone to know about this."

"Su Qian is very smart. Teacher Ye, she won't deliberately dig up the things you want to hide deep in your heart."

Wu Liang shrugged, indicating his innocence.

He did this simply to prevent Su Qian from investigating further.

"I didn't realize you knew her so well."

"Alright, alright, I won't pursue this any further, just remember not to tell anyone."

Ye Luotong glanced at Wu Liang suspiciously.

What this kid said isn't entirely unreasonable. Well, let's leave it at that.

"You can leave now, but there's one more thing I need to remind you of."

"Your frequent absences will affect your chances of advancing to the next grade, and the monthly exam is coming up soon, so you should start preparing."

"Come to my house on Saturday. I have some things to tell you about the exams and moving up a grade."

Ye Luotong walked to the desk, pulled out a piece of paper, wrote down an address, and threw it to Wu Liang.

There was no other way but to give Wu Liang a crash course; even last-minute cramming can be effective.

Wu Liang's knowledge of history is absolutely terrible. If we don't hurry up and improve Wu Liang's knowledge, he might really have to repeat a grade.

"Ah, Teacher Ye, actually I am now..."

"You are not allowed to refuse; this is a secret order."

Before Wu Liang could say anything more, Ye Luotong interrupted him.

"Alright, then I'll be leaving now."

Wu Liang said with a wry smile, "Actually, I don't need any tutoring at all anymore."

After all, his brain is practically a supercomputer now, and there's nothing that can stump him.

He had already tested this before, though he didn't know exactly how it worked.

But both his physical abilities and his mental capacity have now been developed to the extreme of human potential.

This could probably be considered a different kind of cheat code...

"No one says that teachers can't be cosplayers. Besides, I really liked the character you cosplayed the other day, Teacher Ye. It was very beautiful."

Wu Liang suddenly turned around as he opened the door to leave.

Ye Luotong's cosplay of the female version of Gilgamesh that day was undeniably very appealing.

"Um... oh... thank you..."

Ye Luotong didn't expect Wu Liang to suddenly say something like that.

Seeing Wu Liang's earnest and sincere gaze, she felt her cheeks flush...

Chapter 61: The Plot Gradually Goes Wrong (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets 20/32)

Wu Liang walked out of Ye Luotong's office and closed the door.

Hmm, it was finally easy to get Ye Luotong to stop pursuing what happened at the comic convention.

How did I end up having to go to Ye Luotong's house for tutoring again?

Given his current condition, he doesn't need any extra lessons; that would be pointless.

After all, Wu Liang's body and brain have been developed to the extreme of human potential, and some aspects have even surpassed the human realm.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Liang's existence has placed him at the pinnacle of humanity.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe Wu Liang as a new kind of human being.

"Shall we go to Ye Luotong's house for tutoring this weekend...?"

Wu Liang took out the slip of paper from his pocket and silently looked at the address on it.

Number 23, Block 2, Fengxiang Street... In my memory, it should be a very ordinary residential area...

It seems really strange that someone like Ye Luotong would live in such an ordinary neighborhood.

"But never mind, she wouldn't make fun of me for something like this."

Wu Liang casually stuffed the note back into his pocket.

Ye Luotong wouldn't go so far as to deliberately lie to him, and besides, she had absolutely no need to.

Wu Liang walked towards the classroom while fumbling with his pockets.

Huh? Where's the cigarette? I clearly remember having it on me, how could it just disappear like that?

That's strange.

Wu Liang groped in his pockets and asked in confusion.

He had previously secretly carried cigarettes on his person, and had even taken them out when he was with Ning Shuang.

How could it just disappear like that? Did he misremember? Perhaps he put the cigarettes somewhere else...?

"No... it must be that Ning Shuang guy..."

Suddenly, he remembered the time when he and Ning Shuang hid in the bushes to observe Han Yu and his group.

He wanted to smoke a cigarette at that time, but Ning Shuang stopped him, saying it would be easy for Han Yu to find out.

After that, Ning Shuang gave him a long lecture on the health hazards of smoking.

He ignored Ning Shuang at that time, after all, he had heard Yao Shi say those words countless times.

At home, I hear Yao Shi nagging, and now that I'm at the academy Ning Shuang is still nagging me.

But it was at that moment that Ning Shuang took advantage of his inattention and stole his Hua Zi.

"Tsk, it's going too far to steal my fire and smoke too."

Wu Liang smacked his lips twice and frowned slightly.

Ning Shuang is a girl who has no martial ethics. She can preach, but how can she steal, rob, and cheat?

He felt like he hadn't been able to smoke many cigarettes lately, either because Yao Shi confiscated them or Milutin took them away.

Now things are even worse; there's another Ning Shuang who stole his cigarettes and lighter.

"Besides buying one pack... I really don't want to run away..."

Wu Liang cracked his neck, making a snapping sound.

He was a little sleepy, as he hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days and was now very tired.

Why don't we go to the rooftop and take a nap? The next class is two math sessions.

The math teacher from last time was already so shocked by his speed and accuracy in solving formulas that he began to question his own existence.

If the other party is provoked in some way, then he might have to take the blame.

"Since that's the case, then..."

"Wu Liang... I want to talk to you..."

A girl's voice, as soft as a mosquito's buzz, rang in my ears.

Her little hands gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her head bowed, afraid to look up. He Xue nervously stamped her little feet.

"He Xue? What are you doing here?"

Wu Liang was clearly startled when he saw He Xue.

He hurriedly asked why the other person had come, He Xue had left the classroom looking rather dejected earlier.

Didn't he specifically arrange for Nan Zhu to go and have a heart-to-heart talk with He Xue? Then why is He Xue now appearing in the corridor?

Or did Nan Zhu and He Xue already finish their conversation? And He Xue just happened to run into him here?

However, He Xue's current appearance is clearly somewhat recovered compared to before.

Although she was still a bit pale, her complexion was much better.

Ah! Nan Zhu is forever a god!!!

As expected of the game's chosen male protagonist, he was able to soothe He Xue's wavering heart with just a few words.

This is all thanks to his efforts in cultivating Nan Zhu, acting as a bridge and a matchmaker.

It seems my efforts really paid off; Nan Zhu has indeed completed the task.

"I heard from Nan Zhu and Rat that you came to see Teacher Ye, so I came to check on you."

"I've already heard the general reason from Classmate Nanzhu, but I still can't believe it."

"So I'd like to talk to you privately. Is everything that Classmate Nanzhu said true?"

He Xue raised her small face, her big, watery eyes looking at Wu Liang's somewhat surprised expression.

Was it because she was shy, or because she hadn't expected to be waiting for him here that she was shocked?

But she really didn't expect Wu Liang to be such a sensitive person.

If what Nan Zhu said is true, then Wu Liang must have been secretly watching him since the first day of school.
