Who Would Choose You!?

Xiao Wu's rabbit brain worked at full speed. Ye Fan simply watched her conflicted expression, waiting with interest.

Right, that was it!

Become the boss!

From what he said, this guy would be her boss in the future, too!

As the only human in the human world who had seen through her identity, all she had to do was get on his good side, and she could live comfortably in this human world!

At that thought, Xiao Wu's expression relaxed.

Just then, a voice reached their ears.

"Ye Fan, are you two... all right?"

Tang San had cobbled together a set of clothes from the others and put them on.

They had torn his clothes to pieces, after all. Asking for some compensation was perfectly reasonable.

But as he looked at Xiao Wu's back and Ye Fan's expression, a strange feeling stirred in his heart, and his head felt rather heavy...

It was probably oxygen deprivation from his first fight just now.

This body was still too weak...

Unable to help himself, he approached the two of them anyway.

Xiao Wu was still thinking. Suddenly interrupted by Tang San, she turned around in irritation.

"What's it to you!?"

That crisp, uncompromising rebuke made Tang San's expression freeze.

He muttered an "Oh" and slunk away.

Yet his gaze still held a trace of reluctance.

At the sight, Ye Fan couldn't hold back a snort of laughter.

He sent his thoughts to both of them at once.

[Tsk, tsk. Has Little San Tang fallen for Xiao Wu this early? They only just met. Could it be love at first sight?]

Xiao Wu and Tang San both froze at those words, then reacted in completely different ways.

"This guy likes me!?"

Xiao Wu looked in disgust at Tang San, who was sneaking glances in her direction. At first, she had thought there was something special about him, but... now, in her eyes, Tang San somehow looked rather creepy.

It was probably like discovering that someone had designs on you-the knowledge itself made your skin crawl.

Tang San, meanwhile, faltered mid-step and stared blankly at Xiao Wu.

So this was... liking someone!?

As an old virgin whose two lives added up to a full thirty years, Tang San truly had no idea what that strange feeling he had toward Xiao Wu was.

Unlike his feelings toward hidden weapons or cultivation, this feeling left his heart itching unbearably... Hearing Ye Fan put it that way, it did seem like he liked her!

He looked at Xiao Wu's adorable face.

Unconsciously, he swallowed.

The more he looked, the prettier Xiao Wu seemed.

However, Ye Fan noticed Tang San's gaze growing so gooey it could practically thicken a sauce. A wicked smile curled his lips as he continued transmitting his thoughts.

[What a shame. Faced with Tang San's declaration of love, Xiao Wu still chose me in the end.]

Tang San: "..."

Those words were like a bucket of cold water dumped over Tang San's head, instantly leaving him speechless.

He should have thought of that sooner.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset.

It didn't matter!

Since he had recognized his feelings so early in this life, he absolutely would not repeat his mistakes and let Ye Fan win such an adorable girl!

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Xiao Wu also raised her head and studied him in confusion.

She would choose this guy, Ye Fan, in the future?

Was that really true?

Still, when she thought about how he could solve her problem, she didn't seem to have much of a choice.

Just then, Ye Fan looked at her and suddenly said, "What else do you want? If there's nothing else, hurry up and move aside.

"A boy and a girl huddled alone in a corner-the others are already giving us some very strange looks."

Xiao Wu froze at that and turned to look behind her.

Sure enough... She had been so focused on Tang San that she had forgotten everyone else.

The others were hiding behind the beds, watching them with eyes brimming with gossip.

"..."

Xiao Wu's face darkened. She raised her fist and shouted behind her.

"What are you staring at!? Keep staring, and I'll beat you up!"

The work-study students in Dorm Seven all turned away, pretending to be busy.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips.

"Hmph, talking so flippantly. You're definitely no good. How could I possibly..."

"Little bunny, what are you muttering about?"

"Nothing. I said you can be the boss!"

Xiao Wu spoke rapidly, covering up her fluster.

Ye Fan pushed Xiao Wu a little farther away.

"No thanks. I'm not interested in that sort of thing. I have standards for taking on underlings, too. Not just any stray cat or dog can become my underling."

Stray cats and dogs?

Then that didn't include rabbits!

At that thought, Xiao Wu's lips unconsciously curved into a proud smile.

Sister Xiao Wu was still plenty charming.

Hadn't he even handed the boss's position over to her?

Heh, man... you've caught Sister Xiao Wu's attention!

And you still wanted to replace Sister Xiao Wu?

"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you. Someday, I'll find a way to beat you and make you willingly acknowledge me as your boss!"

"I'll be waiting anytime."

Hearing him say that, Xiao Wu stopped agonizing over the matter.

She had figured it out, too. Since this guy would take her in someday, he certainly wouldn't stand by and let her die!

If Ye Fan had known what she was thinking, he would have burst out laughing.

Because... he had made all of that up.

Whether he would protect this rabbit still depended on how she behaved.

In any case, Tang Hao probably wouldn't be here during the period before Tang San obtained his first Soul Ring.

Tang Hao's first appearance would probably come when Tang San and Yu Xiaogang went to obtain a Soul Ring.

Of course, that was only Ye Fan's judgment.

Tang Hao couldn't possibly stay beside Tang San watching him every moment of the day.

Next, Xiao Wu settled straight into the bed beside Ye Fan's.

Ye Fan had picked a good spot, away from the crowd.

Xiao Wu felt no discomfort whatsoever settling down beside him.

Ye Fan, meanwhile, took the opportunity to place a layer of "Conceal" over Xiao Wu.

This was a Word Spirit he had developed to contain a person's aura.

Once covered by this Word Spirit, a person would seem like a stone without the slightest aura to anyone sensing them.

As for its duration, it could last about two hours, after which another layer would have to be applied.

He would count that as giving Xiao Wu time to choose.

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's bed, thought for a moment, and finally settled into a bed opposite hers.

He didn't have much luggage anyway.

Just then, Wang Sheng also approached, rubbing his hands together with a fawning expression.

"Um, Boss, Second Brother, Third Brother, let's go eat at the dining hall. My treat today."

As far as he was concerned, the work-study students had suddenly gained three powerful thighs to cling to, and he had to hold on tight!

It was only one meal. What did that amount to?

He was usually very thrifty and had saved quite a bit of money.

Building a good relationship with them was the top priority!

"Food? Sure!"

Hearing Wang Sheng say that, Xiao Wu instantly grew excited.

On the way here, she had eaten nothing but wild fruit she picked. Would she finally get to taste the food of the human world?
