"Right, right, right. In all those novels and storybooks, that's what the male lead says when he saves the heroine..."
Shui Yue'er skipped over to Shui Bing'er.
"Isn't that right, sis?"
Wrapping both hands around her sister's arm, Shui Yue'er blinked her beautiful, watery-blue eyes, looking utterly adorable.
"Right, my foot!"
Shui Bing'er bared her teeth and raised a hand to rap Shui Yue'er on the head.
Shui Yue'er clutched her head, a sly smile on her face.
"A hero saving a beauty. How impressive, mighty hero..."
Zhu Zhuqing walked over to Lin En and teased him in a sarcastic tone.
Lin En smiled awkwardly and discreetly reached out to give her pert bottom a gentle squeeze.
"Mm..."
Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft moan, her pretty face instantly flushing as she glared at him in embarrassed indignation.
Lin En chuckled, leaned closer, and breathed hot air into Zhu Zhuqing's ear.
"What's this? Is Little Zhu Zhuqing jealous?"
"Who would get jealous over you? Don't flatter yourself!"
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her delicate fists and rolled her beautiful eyes at him, ignoring him as she put some distance between them.
Lin En flashed a brilliant smile, laced his hands behind his head, and remarked to himself:
"Oh, this charm of mine, with nowhere to go..."
Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing froze, then stamped her foot in anger. "Shameless... pervert!"
An intense, unusual light shone in Shui Qingyue's beautiful eyes as she fixed her gaze on Lin En, her soft red lips parting, her pink tongue lightly licking the corner of her mouth.
Every movement brimmed with endless allure...
What a genius. Even my heart is stirring~~
Shui Qingyue murmured inwardly. She had never seen talent like Lin En's; one could even say no one before him had matched it, and no one after him ever would!
At that thought, she immediately made her decision and walked slowly toward Lin En with graceful steps.
"Young man, your talent really does make my heart stir. Would you be interested in joining our Skywater Academy?"
Shui Qingyue's fair, delicate hand brushed Lin En's cheek, carrying a rich bodily fragrance that stole the soul and set the heart soaring.
Lin En inhaled deeply, an entranced look appearing on his face. His gaze burned as he looked at her and blurted out:
"I'd brave boiling water and raging fire, Dean Shui!"
"Skywater Academy needs an upstanding man like me to serve as a guardian of its flowers. From now on, Dean, leave your safety and that of the academy's students to me!"
Lin En reached out and firmly clasped her delicate hand, his gaze utterly earnest.
Plump and delicate, cool and silky-it was a hand he could not bear to let go.
His fingertips unconsciously scratched Shui Qingyue's palm as he savored its soft, tender feel.
Shui Qingyue felt a tickling tingle in her palm. She rolled her exquisite, phoenix-shaped eyes at him and thought:
What a little lecher... he even dares take liberties with me.
"From today onward, you're both members of Skywater Academy."
"Bing'er, Yue'er, head back first. I'll take them to complete their enrollment."
"Yes, Dean!"
Shui Bing'er nodded slightly, while Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue and followed behind her with a lively expression.
Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for a moment, then chose not to refuse.
To her, it really did not matter which academy she attended anymore.
Because she had discovered that the training plan Lin En had devised for her was actually more effective at helping her grow stronger.
"You little wolf... don't go getting any wicked ideas about the girls at our Skywater Academy~"
Shui Qingyue withdrew her hand, extended her index finger, and lightly tapped Lin En between the brows with its rosy pad as she teased him.
"Dean, you can rest completely easy leaving it to me. I guarantee everything will be entirely aboveboard... with no divided loyalties!"
Lin En patted his chest in assurance, a brilliant smile curving his lips.
As long as I'm single-minded, doesn't that mean my loyalties aren't divided?
As for entirely aboveboard, the last person who said that already had enough children to fill a mahjong table!
"Ah, I really don't know whether recruiting you is a blessing or a curse. You're the only male student our Skywater Academy has had since its founding!"
Seeing the excitement in his eyes, Shui Qingyue knew this fellow was certainly up to no good, and she could not help covering her face with a hand.
But she had already said it. Taking it back was clearly not very possible!
Who knew how much turmoil a fellow who even dared flirt with her would stir up within Skywater Academy?
This fellow... was a pure little demon!
"Now, Dean, that's where you're wrong. Rules are made to be broken. There weren't any before, but isn't there one now?"
Lin En spoke with righteous conviction, a sly smile in his eyes.
"You're young, but full of tricks. Come with me. I'll take you both to register."
Before her words had finished, Shui Qingyue led the two of them into Skywater Academy.
After a simple enrollment registration, Shui Qingyue handed Zhu Zhuqing the academy's basic supplies and two sets of uniforms.
Since they were all girls, making arrangements was simple; she only needed to provide a room key.
As for Lin En...
Shui Qingyue stood still with her hands tucked into her sleeves, then lightly stroked her chin, her gaze repeatedly sweeping over Lin En as she considered his arrangements.
Housing, daily necessities-every aspect posed a problem...
The uniforms were only for girls; a boy's would have to be custom-made.
Housing was even more difficult. The student dormitories were full of girls; she could hardly put him in there, could she?
After thinking for a while, Shui Qingyue tossed Lin En a key.
"Dean, what's this?"
Lin En swung the key in his hand and asked her.
"You've lucked out, brat. That's the key to an empty villa on academy grounds. It's very spacious, and you'll have it all to yourself. Don't bring any female students into your room to spend the night~"
As though she knew this brat's disposition, Shui Qingyue deliberately gave him a warning in advance.
"Dean, why don't you trust me? Am I that sort of person?"
"If you don't trust me, why not move in and supervise me? I guarantee I won't do anything bad!"
Lin En raised three fingers and swore.
"Oh, stop it. Do you think I don't know what's going on in that head of yours?"
"You little lecher..."
Shui Qingyue rolled her eyes at him in exasperation. As she passed him, she breathed a hot, fragrant breath into his ear.
"Remember what I said. Don't bring any female students inside, all right? I'll make surprise inspections from time to time. If I catch you... hmph!"
"You know what the consequences will be!"
"You're welcome to visit and offer guidance anytime, Dean. Whatever the time, whatever the place, I'll be awaiting your arrival!"
With a solemn expression, Lin En gave Shui Qingyue his firm assurance.
What an act...
Shui Qingyue looked at Lin En and thought to herself.
He kept making one promise after another, but in his heart, he was probably already planning a life of sexual bliss with a woman in each arm, wasn't he?
She smiled alluringly and pressed her fair, delicate hand against Lin En's forehead. "Come to class tomorrow. Remember not to be late!"
With that, she turned and left.
Watching her graceful figure retreat, Lin En felt as though a cat were scratching at his heart. What an enchantress...
A voluptuous beauty this bewitching and seductive, cold on the outside, would be the most cloyingly sweet of all on the inside!
