Chapter 374

Before Han Yu could utter the next few words, the flying soft eraser had already hit her forehead squarely.

My forehead, which had been hit by the eraser, throbbed with pain, and a tiny red mark had even appeared.

"Crazy woman! What are you doing?!"

Han Yu covered her forehead and looked angrily at Yao Shi, who was fiddling with stationery next to her.

The other person's cold and indifferent eyes showed no emotion whatsoever. They simply sat properly in their seat, tidying up their stationery, looking like an outsider.

"Tsk... still putting on airs for me..."

Han Yu rubbed her slightly aching forehead and stared at Yao Shi with an unfriendly expression.

But she couldn't do anything about it, since she didn't have any evidence.

"Ha, I really don't know who you're trying to impress by always having that deadpan expression on your face."

"Just thinking about how Wu Liang has to see your expressionless face every day makes me feel sorry for him. I bet he'll have nightmares at night..."

Smack! Smack! Smack!

The rubber block, so fast it was barely visible, struck Han Yu's cheek with perfect accuracy, effectively silencing her from the second half of her sentence.

Even Wu Liang couldn't see Yao Shi's throwing motion clearly; he could only see a few afterimages flashing across Yao Shi's hand.

"Are you never going to stop?!"

Veins bulged on his forehead as Han Yu covered his face and roared at Yao Shi in a low voice.

A duel! I absolutely must duel this damned woman!!!

"Heh~"

He stopped what he was doing and looked at Han Yu, who was in a fit of impotent rage.

A contemptuous smile immediately appeared on Yao Shi's cold, jade-like face.

She stretched out her little hand and beckoned to Han Yu with her finger, her dark eyes flashing with a strong teasing tone.

"Good heavens..."

Han Yu was furious when she saw this.

How dare that wretched maid choose me? If I don't teach that girl a lesson today, I'll take her surname!

(Yao Shi: Yao Yu, um, it's alright, not too bad.)

"The relationship between Xiao Yu and Miss Shi is getting better and better."

He Xue sipped her milk tea slowly, smiling happily as she watched Han Yu, who was already locked in a fierce battle with Yao Shi.

It's wonderful that everyone can get along so well.

"Oh... He Xue... where did you get the idea that they have a good relationship...?"

Standing next to He Xue, Miao Lian looked at Han Yu and Yao Shi, who were wrestling together, with an embarrassed expression.

This looks like an argument from any angle... This is definitely an argument...

"Hmm? Xiao Yu and Miss Shi Yaoshi do have a very good relationship. Otherwise, Xiao Yu would never have argued with Miss Shi Yaoshi."

"If someone isn't a partner that Xiao Yu approves of, she wouldn't even give them a second glance, let alone get angry over them."

He Xue said with a smile, but if the object of her affections were Miss Shi, Xiao Yu wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.

After all, their fighting abilities are on completely different levels...

Chapter Five: The Rat's Transformation

It was deathly silent; the cool summer breeze seeped through the cracks in the windows and drifted into the classroom.

In the sweltering summer heat, the classroom felt as cold as if it were in the far north, standing on a tundra.

The temperature inside the room plummeted to an extreme low, and everyone wore an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

All eyes were now focused on the doorway, landing on the face of the boy with light purple, tousled hair and a slightly youthful appearance.

The boys and girls stared wide-eyed and gaped as the boy suddenly appeared in their presence.

Where did this middle school student come from? Did they come to the wrong classroom? Or are they looking for someone here?

After a brief moment of shock, some of the girls were the first to recover and began to scrutinize the boy closely.

Her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face was flushed with shyness, and her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, making her look very bashful.

The other person was nervously fidgeting with their fingers, as if they were not used to the strange atmosphere.

Wow! This little brother is just too cute!! I really want to hold him in my arms and give him a good cuddling session!!

The girls, who had carefully examined the boy from head to toe, swallowed hard, trying to soothe their dry throats.

Wow! This little brother is just too cute!! I really want to hold him in my arms and give him a good cuddling session!!

They have absolutely no resistance to these high-quality young boys...

"Who?"

Wu Liang looked up at the boy at the door and noticed that the boy was looking at him pitifully with pleading eyes.

And just as he looked up, the boy's gaze met his.

The boy was asking him for help, hoping that he could help him out of his predicament.

"?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly, a big question mark rising in his mind.

Why would a boy send a distress signal to someone he didn't even know?

Besides, who exactly is that boy? He shouldn't be a student in this class.

The other person clearly looked like a cute little boy of twelve or thirteen, but Wu Liang didn't remember knowing the child.

"Boss... it's me..."

It was as if she could sense the incomprehension and indifference in Wu Liang's eyes.

The boy's face immediately turned pale, and he murmured pitifully with a mournful expression.

It would be understandable if only his classmates didn't recognize him, since they don't have much contact with him on a regular basis.

But why doesn't even the boss recognize me now? We were so close!

"..."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Wu Liang's expression suddenly became quite interesting.

The voice was indeed familiar to him; to be precise, it was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.

But, the owner of that voice should have been that...

Wu Liang's eyes twitched slightly. Shouldn't the owner of this voice be Rat?

A disheveled appearance, long hair as messy as a bird's nest, and a somewhat gloomy and self-conscious personality—that's the Rat in his mind.

Right now, this shy, innocent young boy and the Rat are completely unrelated characters.

But how... how did it happen...?

"Boss! It's me Rat! Liu Qingshu!! How come you don't even recognize me, Boss?!"

Seeing Wu Liang's expression, which seemed to be questioning the meaning of life, the Rat finally couldn't hold back and exploded.

He didn't care whether others recognized him or not, since he had never had any connection with those people in the first place, so it didn't matter if they didn't recognize him.

But the eldest brother is different; he holds an absolutely irreplaceable place in his heart.

The boss was the god who saved him from his decadent life; the boss was the angel who brought light to his dark journey!

The bond between him and the boss was extremely deep, but why did even the boss...

"No way..."

Wu Liang stared in disbelief at the little boy in front of him, who looked so aggrieved he was about to cry.

After scrutinizing the other person's face countless times, Wu Liang moved his lips and finally managed to utter a few words after a long while.

You know what, this boy in front of you really does seem to be Rat himself.

Who would have thought that the slovenly, sleazy young man, the one who always followed him around like a tagalong, was actually like this...

The others were taken aback when they heard the boy reveal his identity.

Rat? Liu Qingshu? Oh, so that slovenly, creepy guy who likes to follow Wu Liang around is named Liu Qingshu.

I must say, this name is quite poetic, tsk tsk tsk, what a pity that such a slovenly person like Rat used it...

"Huh?"

Those who suddenly realized something was wrong froze.

Wait, what did that cute little boy just say he was?

Rat = an incredibly cute little boy = Liu Qingshu????

People who had finally come to their senses twisted their stiff necks and slowly looked at the boy at the door.

Seeing the other person's pitiful appearance with tears welling up in their eyes from grievance, many girls felt their hearts melt instantly.

"It's so cute it's unfair!!!!!!!!!"

The girls' wails almost knocked the ceiling off.

With his innocent, youthful charm and boyish appearance, the girls' side was utterly defeated...

"In other words, you cut your hair and dressed up nicely last week so you could go on a date with Miao Lian."

Wu Liang rubbed his throbbing temples, closed his eyes, and spoke softly.

Every now and then, I would open my eyes to look at the innocent and naive Rat in front of me, and I would feel a stomachache when I saw its bright and sparkling eyes.

Oh, all-powerful and dear God, you never told me that Rat could hide so cleverly!

It's worth noting that the Rat in the game are always portrayed as slovenly and gloomy, following the villainous young master.

The other party never showed its face once, so Wu Liang never regarded the Rat as an important character.

But judging from the current situation where the Rat is undergoing a transformation comparable to a magical girl, he would never believe it unless the Rat is an important character.

"Because Miao Lian said I was too sloppy and my hair was too long, so I..."

The Rat scratched its cheek, looking a little embarrassed, and said...

Actually, it was Miao Lian who suggested this light purple hair color, which is why he specifically dyed his hair.

Because Miao Lian said that this hair color might look good on him...

"I'm asking you two, what exactly has your relationship progressed to...?"

"Liu Qingshu, um... could I please get your contact information?"

"Me too! I want one too! By the way, Liu Qingshu, your face is so cute, why did you always grow your hair long to cover it up? Was it because you were shy?"

Wu Liang's words were interrupted by a group of girls who suddenly surrounded him.

He rested his chin on his hand and silently watched the girls gradually surround the Rat, then sighed heavily.

It seems that good looks are always right, no matter the world...

Chapter Six: The Foolish Couple

"Um, everyone, wait a minute..."

Look at the girls surrounding him in the center; the Rat stammered incoherently.
