Class 1, Year 1.
Early in the morning, Xiao Xiao bought breakfast and brought it to Qian Ran.
Because Qian Ran had picked up a bad habit from Earth in his previous life-sleeping in-he had no time to line up for breakfast.
And honestly, Qian Ran in his previous life really did seem to have rarely eaten breakfast. Whenever he stayed home on weekends, it was already eleven when he got up, and a few rounds of games in bed brought him to twelve. By the time he finished washing up, it was almost lunchtime.
Wang Dong'er, on the other hand, got up early every day. Every morning, after wriggling out of Qian Ran's arms and washing up, she wanted to drag him out to eat with her. Unfortunately, she simply could not get him up.
Still, Qian Ran had never missed his daily classes.
Knowing that Qian Ran did not like eating breakfast, Xiao Xiao always bought an extra portion and brought it to the classroom for him. Even if Wang Dong'er felt jealous when she saw it, there was nothing she could do.
After all, she was a "boy" now.
Xiao Xiao lay over her desk, her head turned to watch Qian Ran eat the breakfast she had bought, her eyes brimming with happiness.
With Xiao Xiao sitting on his left and Wang Dong'er on his right, Qian Ran really was rather pleased.
"Delicious."
Qian Ran ate a meat-filled bun, holding a cup of soy milk. Mm, this felt a little like going to school in my previous life. The buns were delicious, and so was the soy milk, but I wonder whether Xiao Xiao would taste good.
Xiao Xiao was so adorable that Qian Ran really could hardly bear to let her go.
Wasn't she just too cute?
So kawaii!
It was one thing to look cute, but even her behavior was this cute.
Every time he ate the food Xiao Xiao brought him, he polished it all off. This was Xiao Xiao's loving breakfast, after all. It tasted of love.
"It's not the breakfast you find delicious, is it?" Seeing that no one was paying attention, Wang Dong'er pinched Qian Ran's waist hard with her little hand. She was jealous. Qian Ran got to eat the loving breakfast Xiao Xiao brought him every day, and the two of them were like a couple. In front of other people, she could only count as Qian Ran's buddy.
Xiao Xiao and Qian Ran were both wearing Shrek Academy's freshman uniforms, the boy dashing and handsome, the girl cute and sweet. Xiao Xiao made herself look lovely every day. Although her figure was very different from a mature woman's, Qian Ran liked her tiny little frame very much. Who wouldn't like such an obedient, well-behaved little girl?
Qian Ran liked Xiao Xiao's smile best. It was sweet, with two little dimples-truly adorable.
Everyone in class now took it for granted that Qian Ran and Xiao Xiao were a couple. The adorable Xiao Xiao brought Qian Ran a loving breakfast every day, making a whole crowd of boys green with envy.
If only their girlfriends could be that gentle. Wait... they didn't seem to have girlfriends at all.
How miserable!
The girls in class were also very envious of Xiao Xiao. If they could, they even wanted to take over her job.
"Hmm? Of course it's the breakfast that's delicious. What else could it be? Isn't that right, Xiao Xiao?" Qian Ran looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile.
"Mm." Xiao Xiao's face was red, like a red apple.
She remembered that Qian Ran had once said she tasted better.
Had Qian Ran just secretly teased her again? Xiao Xiao looked utterly adorably dazed.
"Hmph." Wang Dong'er turned her head away. She did not want to watch Xiao Xiao and Qian Ran flaunt their affection!
That Qian Ran flaunted his affection with Xiao Xiao during the day, then still wanted to hold her while sleeping when they went back at night.
Boohoo! What a big jerk!
Over the past few days, although they had not done that one thing, Qian Ran had done everything else.
There was no helping it. They were already sleeping in each other's arms; he could hardly keep his hands completely to himself. He really had only rubbed against her, without going in.
He did not dare. If he really forced that old scoundrel Tang San to come down, he would be the one to suffer.
Right now, Gu Yuena was the only one who could put up a fight against Tang San. But Gu Yuena was wary of the power of the other gods in the Divine Realm and would not act at all.
"Qian Ran. Um, there's something I want to tell you," Xiao Xiao murmured softly, blushing. Her voice was very quiet, but hearing her words sent a jolt through Qian Ran.
Was Xiao Xiao going to confess to him?
Honestly, over the past few days, he had completely fallen for this bashful, shy girl who could nevertheless boldly show her love for him. Even if Xiao Xiao's looks were not his type, Qian Ran would not let her down, much less when she was so cute and sweet that he could not like her enough.
If Wang Dong'er had not been sitting beside him all the time, he would have been showing his affection with Xiao Xiao long ago.
Whenever he wanted to reach out and touch Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er pinched him for all she was worth. What could he do?
Now he ate Xiao Xiao's loving breakfast during class, practiced the Body Refining Technique when he went to the training grounds, took Tang Ya to a hotel to freely discuss life and ideals during his other daytime breaks, and returned to the dormitory at night to sleep holding Dong'er. On top of all that, he had to squeeze out plenty of time to study the Control God Art.
He really... even Qian Ran himself thought he was a model worker.
A true master of time management!
Qian Ran felt that twenty-four hours a day were nowhere near enough.
Spending time with Xiao Xiao and Dong'er was something he could fit in along the way, but he could only see Tang Ya during the day.
As soon as evening classes ended, Wang Dong'er kept a tight watch on Qian Ran, refusing to let him go on dates with Tang Ya. So Qian Ran could only see Tang Ya during the day. There really was no helping it. But it was precisely because he spent the day being affectionate with Tang Ya that he entered a state as saintly as the Buddha and could restrain himself while sleeping with Wang Dong'er in his arms at night.
"Go ahead, Xiao Xiao." Qian Ran took a deep breath.
Qian Ran saw that Wang Dong'er was also slowly leaning toward him. She was even more nervous than he was. Should she make Qian Ran reject Xiao Xiao? But Xiao Xiao was a very nice girl too. If Qian Ran rejected her, she would definitely be terribly sad, wouldn't she? And Qian Ran might even stop liking her for being unreasonable.
Wang Dong'er knew how much courage a shy girl like Xiao Xiao needed to muster to take the initiative to bring Qian Ran breakfast every day. And over the past few days, she too had been moved by Xiao Xiao's cuteness. Why should such a gentle, adorable girl get hurt?
Damn it, this was all Qian Ran's fault! If he weren't so fickle, Xiao Xiao couldn't have fallen in love with him, and none of this would have happened. Although Wang Dong'er was jealous, she did not interfere with Qian Ran at this moment.
Forget it. They were all classmates anyway. She would just consider it gaining another sister in the future.
Because Tang Ya's earlier relationship with Qian Ran had already gotten Wang Dong'er used to his fickleness, she came to accept Xiao Xiao quite quickly after she appeared.
"Um, Qian Ran, what do you think of me?" Xiao Xiao had originally wanted to ask whether Qian Ran liked her, but when the words reached her lips, she shyly swallowed them back.
"I think you're wonderful, Xiao Xiao. Very cute, very gentle, and so caring, bringing me breakfast." Qian Ran naturally liked this unbelievably sweet little girl very much.
"Just cute?" Xiao Xiao was a little disappointed. In her mind, Qian Ran calling her cute meant he was rejecting her, because she knew boys liked sexy girls. Cuteness seemed to have nothing to do with personality, did it?
Xiao Xiao's eyes filled with disappointment, and she looked as though she was about to cry.
Only now did she understand why Qian Ran had never responded despite all the times she had shown him her feelings. Was it because he had never liked her in the first place?
This was the trouble with shy girls: they never said what was weighing on their minds.
"Are you silly? In my eyes, cute means I like you, because I like cute girls." Seeing that Xiao Xiao seemed to have misunderstood, Qian Ran added another sentence.
