"What's so good about it? Get away from me!"
Ye Qiu's forehead was crossed with black lines as he pushed her away unceremoniously.
"Ah, you... how did you get here?"
Xiao Wu suddenly grabbed the quilt, covering her delicate body, her face flushed as she looked at Ye Qiu.
"What do you mean, I got here? It was clearly you, you ruffian rabbit, who came crawling over here, alright!"
Ye Qiu rubbed his eyes, circled by dark shadows, and was completely numb.
He was woken up in the middle of the night by this ruffian rabbit, who was hugging his neck and shouting about Da Ming, Er Ming, and mommy. She even licked him from time to time. Did she really think he was a lollipop?
Ye Qiu vigorously rubbed his listless face, staring directly at Xiao Wu, and warned, "Next time you wake me up in the middle of the night, watch out, I'll kick you down!"
Xiao Wu was also stunned at this moment, looking left and right, and then confirming that it was indeed her fault. She didn't dare to look at Ye Qiu, her face flushed, and she lowered her head, nodding slightly.
"Yes, Sister Xiao Wu understands."
"I'll go wash up first, you fold the quilt."
Ye Qiu got up and stretched lazily. After weakly tossing out a sentence, he walked out of the Seventh Dorm.
He hadn't slept well all night, and he was truly exhausted. Tang San's bed was already empty; he must have gone to cultivate his Purple Demon Eyes.
Yesterday, after merging with Xiao Wu... Ye Qiu also had thoughts about Tang San's memories, but he really didn't want to stick with a stinky man, and if he really did that, even if he got what he wanted, he might not even survive the moment.
Tang San might not be able to do anything to him, but he couldn't stand the fact that he had been born into a good family and found a hammer of a dad.
Thinking of these things, Ye Qiu became a little melancholic again.
Ye Qiu scratched his head haphazardly.
Xiao Wu pouted, watching Ye Qiu's retreating figure.
After grumbling and folding her blanket, she looked at Wang Sheng and the others who were still sleeping. While relieved that they hadn't seen her in that embarrassing state, she immediately asserted her big sister authority.
"Get up! Get up! You lazy bums!"
Xiao Wu shouted as she stomped around, hands on her hips, kicking the bed legs of others with a bang, bang sound.
When Ye Qiu returned, everyone had already gotten up thanks to Xiao Wu's prodding. Tang San, who had gone out to cultivate, had also returned to the dormitory.
A familiar smile appeared on Ye Qiu's face as he sat down casually on Tang San's bed.
"Yo! Xiao San, good morning. You're as diligent as ever."
"Mm, I've gotten used to it over these years."
Tang San nodded slightly, giving Ye Qiu an odd smile. He was actually starting to admire Ye Qiu a bit.
Little Xiao Wu, at such a young age, and he could still bring himself to do it.
He'd obviously seen Xiao Wu asleep on Ye Qiu, the sight of her sleeping soundly.
"Hehe! Ye Qiu!"
Xiao Wu, having just finished washing up, skipped and hopped into the Seventh Dorm, waving her small hand towards Ye Qiu, revealing a sweet smile.
Just now, when she looked in the mirror, she realized her eye sockets had already healed. It must have been Ye Qiu who treated her last night.
Ye Qiu looked at her and smiled.
Ignoring Tang San's strange look.
Seeing Tang San munching on the dry rations, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little hungry.
He got up and went to his bed, taking his own rations out of his pack. Then, he returned to Tang San's side, holding out his hand, which held a green candy.
"Xiao San, want some?"
Tang San was stunned. He always felt that the green color was a bit dazzling, and he shook his head, refusing: "No need, you eat it yourself."
"Ye Qiu, if he doesn't want it, I want it! Give it to me!"
Xiao Wu, who had just finished tying her hair, suddenly jumped over and sat directly beside Ye Qiu, close to him. She was holding a slightly wilted carrot in her hand, which she had brought with her to the academy.
"If you want it, then I'll give it to you." Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at her and reached out to put it in her mouth.
"Alright, thank you!" Xiao Wu beamed, happily opening her red lips and accepting the candy Ye Qiu offered.
"Huh? What's this weird taste?" Xiao Wu, who had been all smiles, suddenly furrowed her brow, holding the lollipop in her hand.
Sticking out her tongue, she made a pained face and asked Ye Qiu, puzzled, "Ye Qiu, is this candy bad? Why is it bitter?"
Tang San, hearing this, also looked at Ye Qiu curiously.
"How could it be bad? It's bitter melon flavor, of course it's bitter!"
Ye Qiu replied with a laugh, then grabbed Xiao Wu's wrist and pushed the candy towards her mouth. "You can't throw it away. Bitter melon cools and reduces heat, it's perfect for relieving the heat in your body from eating too much candy."
"Awoo...!" The moment it touched her lips, Xiao Wu turned her head away in disgust. "You're at it again! You're definitely tricking Xiao Wu! You always tease me!"
Oh ho! Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to be right.
"Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu is right. Bitter melon does indeed have the effect of clearing heat and reducing internal fire." Tang San, who had originally been a little hesitant, smiled after hearing Ye Qiu's explanation and spoke up for him.
"Did you hear that? I'm doing this for your own good. Eat it all up!" Ye Qiu had his back to Tang San, a smile playing on his lips. He'd originally prepared it for Tang San, but who knew this rabbit would be so greedy.
"Ah…" Xiao Wu, under Ye Qiu's gaze, lowered her head and wailed.
Tang San watched her adorable appearance and couldn't help but smile, a rare occurrence.
At this moment, Wang Sheng also walked over: "Boss, Sister Xiao Wu, Third Bro, we should go to the opening ceremony!"
"Alright, let's go then!" Tang San quickly stuffed the remaining dried rations into his mouth.
When Ye Qiu and the others walked out of the Seventh Dorm…
The coolness of the morning gradually dissipated.
The scorching sun beat down, baking the stone bricks on the ground until they were burning hot.
Indeed, it was the same everywhere.
The academy leaders all gave the same endless, rambling speeches.
I have a high awning to shade me; why should I care about rain or sun?
Nearing noon, the tedious and boring opening ceremony finally ended.
The Seventh Dorm, including Ye Qiu and the other two, a total of twelve people, stumbled back to their dorm.
The moment he entered, Ye Qiu, who hadn't slept well the night before, couldn't take it anymore and collapsed onto his bed.
Xiao Wu followed close behind.
"Ah~! Xiao Wu-jie is going to die, so hungry and tired. Ye Qiu, do you have any more candy?"
Ye Qiu was lying on the bed, too lazy to pay attention to her.
He hadn't gotten enough sleep, and he hadn't eaten his fill this morning either. His body felt a bit weak.
Tang San, with the Mysterious Heaven Skill protecting him, wasn't very tired at all. He shook his head as he looked at his roommates, who had all collapsed in a heap.
Seeing his energetic appearance, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Wang Sheng was a bit older. With his War Tiger Martial Soul, his physical condition was also much stronger, and he still seemed quite energetic at the moment.
"Xiao Wu-jie, since you're hungry, how about we go to the cafeteria and eat something now?"
As soon as she heard that food was on the way, Xiao Wu immediately got up, and her tearful face brightened up.
Ye Qiu couldn't wait to ask, "Great! What delicious food are we having?!"
Wang Sheng and the other students looked at each other, a wry smile on their faces. They sighed, "What good food can we, as work-study students, eat? Our work hasn't even started yet. We'll just have to buy some cheap food in the cafeteria to get by."
Xiao Wu's face fell when she heard this. She was completely broke, not a single cent to her name. She could only look at Ye Qiu for help.
I wish you all a happy life!
