"Is this Dorm Seven?" A clear voice came from outside.
Everyone in the dorm turned to see a girl standing in the doorway. It was Xiao Wu. She smiled brightly. "Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Wu, the Wu from dancing."
Ye Yin nudged Tang San from behind. "Little San, don't let a girl off the hook either. Go show her how powerful you are," he whispered. "I'm telling you, girls are the most annoying things in this world!"
Tang San didn't know how to respond to that, so Ye Yin stepped forward and spoke to Xiao Wu himself. "Xiao Wu, do you want to be the dorm leader? If you defeat Tang San, you can be!"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "Alright!" she said, placing her luggage on a bed. Without a moment's hesitation, she kicked toward Tang San. The kick was incredibly fast, almost hitting Tang San's face.
The two of them began to fight, exchanging blows back and forth. It was clear, however, that Tang San was at a disadvantage.
"Little San, you need to work harder," Ye Yin called out. "You can't even beat a girl, can you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu used her legs to forcefully throw Tang San away.
Resentment from Tang San +9!
Tang San couldn't help but complain. "Ye Yin, if you're so good, you go!"
Ye Yin rolled his eyes. "Of course, I'm not good, that's why I didn't go."
Resentment from Tang San +19!
Just then, a voice called out from outside the dorm. "Which one of you is Tang San, and which one is Ye Yin?"
"I'm Tang San, and he's Ye Yin!" Tang San shouted toward Teacher Mo Hen, who had just arrived.
"This bedding was entrusted to me by Grandmaster to give to you," Teacher Mo Hen said to Tang San. "Also, Wang Sheng, explain to them what the work-study students need to do."
Wang Sheng struggled to get up from the floor. "Okay…"
Teacher Mo Hen looked at Wang Sheng with some doubt but didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
Tang San, holding the bedding, was a bit confused. "Ye Yin, why do you think Grandmaster sent me bedding?"
Ye Yin understood the reason with a little thought. "Of course, he's showing goodwill toward you. He wants to take you as his disciple. Are you going to accept his bedding and become his disciple?"
Tang San shook his head. "No, no. I don't want his things. You can have them."
Ye Yin sighed dramatically. "Ah, then I'll reluctantly help you deal with it. Little San, you owe me a favor for this."
Tang San nodded. "Don't worry, Ye Yin, I'll definitely repay you! How do you plan to deal with this set of bedding?"
A moment later, Tang San watched as Ye Yin spread the bedding on his own bed. He lay down on it, completely satisfied. "I have to say, the bedding Grandmaster sent is quite thick and soft."
Tang San looked around. All the other beds were empty, with no bedding. This meant he would have to sleep on a hard bed board. He was supposed to be the one on the soft bed, and Ye Yin on the hard one. Why had their fates been reversed, and now he even owed Ye Yin a favor? The bedding was gone, and he owed a favor.
Resentment from Tang San +18!
"It seems I don't have any bedding either," Xiao Wu said, scanning the room. After rejecting the goodwill of others, her eyes landed on the most luxurious bedding in the dorm. "Ye Yin, can I discuss something with you?"
"No."
Resentment from Xiao Wu +5!
"Your bedding is so big; can we share it?"
"No."
Resentment from Xiao Wu +5!
Xiao Wu huffed. "No, I'm the dorm leader, you have to listen to me. I now order you, in the name of the dorm leader, that we will each have half of this sleeping blanket! If you don't agree, do you believe I'll beat you up?"
Resentment from Ye Yin +15!
Ye Yin silently moved to the side, making space for Xiao Wu. She chuckled, quickly snuggling up to Ye Yin and lying down on the pillow next to him. "That's more like it."
Ye Yin was the only one in the dorm sleeping in the same blanket as a girl, which could be said to make others envious. But at this moment, he was feeling quite annoyed. Ye Yin secretly vowed that he would make Xiao Wu pay for this later.
Wang Sheng broke the silence. "It's time for lunch. Let's go eat together."
Ye Yin sprang up in a graceful motion. "Let's go, lunch is on me!"
Immediately, everyone's eyes in the dorm lit up. "Godfather, is that true?"
"Absolutely!"
Led by Wang Sheng, the group arrived at Nuo Ding Academy's cafeteria. Ye Yin waved his hand and headed straight for the second floor. He knew this was where they could order special meals with gold coins. As long as you had enough money, you could eat anything.
Ye Yin came to a stall on the second floor and casually tossed a gold coin onto the counter. "Give me twelve spicy rabbits!"
Xiao Wu: "???"
Resentment from Xiao Wu +5!
"I don't eat rabbits," she said.
"Then make it eleven," Ye Yin replied nonchalantly.
When the eleven spicy rabbits were served, the system panel began to scroll.
Resentment from Xiao Wu +6!
Resentment from Xiao Wu +7!
Resentment from Xiao Wu +8!
…
"Today, there's enough spicy rabbit to go around; everyone eat until you're full!" Ye Yin called out to the others from Dorm Seven.
"This spicy rabbit is so delicious!" one of the boys exclaimed.
"This is my first time eating rabbit!" another added.
"You can tell the food on the second floor is different."
The happy chatter of the other work-study students continued, and Xiao Wu's newly generated resentment points increased. Ye Yin gave a cold snort. Little brat, I can handle you now.
"Xiao Wu, why aren't you eating?" he asked, his mouth greasy with oil. "Don't you like meat?"
Xiao Wu gave an awkward smile. "I don't like eating rabbits." Her heart was roaring. You're telling me, a Soft Bones Rabbit in human form, to eat rabbits? Ye Yin, what you're doing is too sinister!
Resentment from Xiao Wu +26!
Ye Yin continued to eat. "This spicy rabbit is so fragrant. Are you sure you don't want to try a bite?"
Xiao Wu swallowed hard. "Bunnies are so cute; how can you eat bunnies? I can't stand it. I'm a rabbit lover. I really love little bunnies."
Ye Yin looked up at her. "So what?"
Xiao Wu was silent for a moment. "I want to save rabbits, as many as I can. First, help me save half."
Ye Yin's face went dark. What kind of "save half first" was that? It sounded like she wanted some, but not too much.
Ye Yin called to the stall owner. "Another half a spicy rabbit!"
"Coming right up!" The stall owner took another gold coin from Ye Yin and went to work with a smile.
Xiao Wu quickly added, "Add extra numbing and extra spice for me!"
Rabbit: You know how to save me! Xiao Wu looked through the glass at the kitchen where the food was being prepared. She started to whimper and cry.
Ye Yin wiped his hands and leaned in to comfort her. "Don't cry, quickly wipe away the tears from the corners of your mouth."
