My System is Too Awesome! Chapter 23

Feeling the warm sunlight on his face, Bai Ye's eyelids twitched. He groggily opened his eyes and instinctively raised a hand to rub them, only to find that his right hand seemed unable to move.

"Hmm?"

His mind abruptly cleared, and Bai Ye immediately turned his gaze to his side.

Xiao Wu, dressed in plain grayish-white pajamas, had her eyes tightly shut and was hugging his right arm as though it were a doll. Her delicate little face was full of satisfaction and happiness.

As if she sensed Bai Ye trying to pull his arm free, Xiao Wu murmured sleepily, "Don't go, my big carrot. I wasn't going to eat you—I just want to hold you while I sleep. Don't run away!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's sleep talk, Bai Ye nearly laughed out loud.

Carrot? A big carrot? Just what had Xiao Wu been dreaming about?

Still, as a rabbit that liked eating carrots, it was perfectly normal for her to dream about them...

But it seemed Bai Ye's attempt to pull free had disturbed Xiao Wu after all.

Right after mumbling in her sleep, Xiao Wu's little face twitched slightly. Then, with her eyes still half-closed, she actually opened them groggily and happened to see Bai Ye.

The next moment, Xiao Wu abruptly woke up. She immediately released Bai Ye's right arm, quickly scooted away, and cried out at him in embarrassment and annoyance.

"B-Bai Ye, didn't I say last night that we couldn't cross the line? Why did you still climb onto my bed?!"

But upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, Bai Ye's expression became rather strange.

"Are you sure I crossed the line and climbed onto your bed? This should be my bed, shouldn't it?"

"This is your bed?"

Bai Ye's words left Xiao Wu stunned. When she subconsciously looked around, her little face instantly turned bright red.

Only now did Xiao Wu realize that she was sitting on Bai Ye's bed. Beside her was another empty bed—her actual bed...

"Um... I'm sorry! I'm the one who crossed the line. I'll go back right now. I promise it won't happen again!"

After realizing that she was the one who had crossed the line, Xiao Wu hurriedly apologized with a flushed face, quickly returning to her own bed and repeatedly making promises.

But although she was making promises aloud, Xiao Wu felt somewhat guilty inside.

Thinking of the dream she had had last night, she had turned back into a Soft Bone Rabbit and run carefree through the Star Dou Great Forest. Then she had suddenly sensed an incomparably familiar and alluring aura.

When she ran over, she discovered that it was a big carrot!

Such a huge carrot—of course she could not bear to eat it. So she hugged it and fell asleep beside it. Feeling that familiar, intimate aura, she had been happier than words could describe.

Only after waking up did Xiao Wu discover that Bai Ye gave off that same inexplicably familiar and alluring aura.

It was probably because of this aura that she had climbed onto Bai Ye's bed, slept soundly while hugging him, and even dreamed of a big carrot.

She could not control herself while she was asleep. It was hard to guarantee that what had happened today would not happen again in the future!

But even so, because she had wrongly accused Bai Ye just now, Xiao Wu felt utterly ashamed. She could only make such a promise in order to salvage her status as the Big Sister Leader of the Seventh Dormitory.

After all, the work-study students around them were all watching!

Still, the matter between Xiao Wu and Bai Ye was only a minor interlude.

After getting up and washing up, Bai Ye, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the other work-study students from the Seventh Dormitory headed to the cafeteria together to eat breakfast.

Although today was not Nuoding Academy's official first day of school, the opening ceremony was to be held today, and the headmaster of Nuoding Academy would be giving a speech.

All students had to attend in their school uniforms.

Thus, after breakfast in the cafeteria, Bai Ye, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the other work-study students all headed to the field.

By then, a speaking platform had already been set up on the field. Several teachers stood below it, directing the arriving students to line up by class so they could watch the upcoming opening ceremony.

Following the teachers' instructions, Bai Ye and Xiao Wu stood together in the first-year line, both at the very back. The other work-study students also joined the lines for their respective classes.

Over the next while, all the students in the academy gradually arrived and took their places in their respective class lines.

However, Spirit Masters were extremely scarce on the Douluo Continent.

The entire Nuoding Academy had fewer than five hundred students from the first year to the sixth year, averaging just over eighty students per year!

But Bai Ye was not particularly surprised by this.

After all, Spirit Masters were inherently very rare on the Douluo Continent.

Only famous major sects and Soul Grandmaster clans could become massive powers with enormous numbers of clan members or disciples, after being passed down through many generations and continuously attracting numerous Spirit Masters to join them.

For a Junior Spirit Master Academy in a small border town like Nuoding Academy, having five hundred students was already quite good!

Standing in the first-year line and listening to the Nuoding Academy headmaster's speech, Bai Ye was practically nodding off.

He had to admit that whether on Earth in his previous life or on the present-day Douluo Continent, speeches from leaders like headmasters and principals all followed the same formula. They loved spouting empty words full of positive energy.

At first, they made people's blood boil, making them want to work hard immediately and rise to the peak of life. But afterward, when one thought about it, they realized it was completely useless!

Your efforts had to produce results!

Unfortunately, reality was not a game.

In a game, working hard earned experience, and once you had enough experience, you could level up. But in reality, no matter how hard you worked, if you lacked talent or could not find the right direction, it was all for nothing!

After listening to more than half a shichen of boring speechmaking, the Nuoding Academy headmaster finally finished.

When dismissal was announced, the entire crowd let out a long breath and began to disperse. Most headed toward the academy gates, while some went toward the dormitory building and others toward the cafeteria.

But just as Bai Ye and Xiao Wu met up with Wang Sheng and the others and prepared to return to the dormitory together, a group of people blocked their path beneath the dormitory building.

"Xiao Chenyu, what are you blocking our way for?!"

Standing below the dormitory building, Wang Sheng immediately shouted angrily when he saw the tall, somewhat handsome youth in white leading the group before them.

So this is Xiao Chenyu?

Seeing Xiao Chenyu, Bai Ye's heart stirred slightly.

He still had some impression of this boss of Nuoding Academy from the original work. Xiao Chenyu certainly could not be called a good person, but he did have good judgment and would make a useful subordinate.

If he could subdue Xiao Chenyu and put him to good use, it would definitely be of some help in winning over Xiao Wu.
