Ch 13: How to Chase After a Girl

“Are you sure you want to leave a Magical Physics textbook on the table?”

Originally preparing to put away the wrong book, Mi Ya Xing intercepted halfway.

The Magical Botany teacher was an extremely serious old woman. Although the Magic Botany content was boring and conducive to sleep, basically no classmate dared to sleep in her class.

Of course, this is not the point for now. The current point is—it is said that the old woman has a very poor relationship with the Magical Physics teacher.

It’s fine not bringing a book, but wouldn’t it be bad to leave a Magical Physics textbook?

Mi Ya Xing mysteriously shook his index finger: “It’s okay, I have my way.”

The teacher, who appeared silently on the podium, cleared their throat. The noise in the classroom gradually subsided and then completely disappeared.

The sound of desks and chairs ceased. Students sat upright in their seats. After calling roll, the class bell rang just right.

The usual pre-class reading. The old woman carried the book behind her back and walked around.

I don’t know what Mi Ya Xing did specifically, but the old woman came over here, stopped beside his desk, and left after a while, completely blocking Rui Bu Si’s view.

Only a low voice was said: “Don’t do it again.”

After the old woman left, meeting Rui Bu Si’s inquisitive and curious gaze, Mi Ya Xing winked and mouthed—

“Secret.”

Damn it, I hate people who act mysterious.

Damn it, she really wants to know.

After barely understanding what was written in the book, except for the intervals when the teacher called names, the class wasn’t that difficult to endure.

If it weren’t for the secret Mi Ya Xing mentioned, and the curiosity in her heart felt like cat claws scratching, this class might have been a little easier to endure.

Of course, this is only Rui Bu Si’s personal feeling.

As for Jian Ni, this class was still very difficult to endure.

——He was called on seven times by the teacher.

Seven times. It can be said that he was standing for most of the class.

When he was called on the first time, Ya Ya barely told him the answer, even though the answer was wrong.

Later, the teacher stood beside Ya Ya’s desk, and poor Jian Ni could only rely on himself.

Rui Bu Si wanted to help, but Rui Bu Si’s heart was willing but her strength was insufficient. Rui Bu Si silently prayed for him for a whole class.

——As a result, the prayer didn’t work.

Poor Jian Ni’s first time taking Magical Botany, he didn’t even understand the questions.

“This teacher is totally targeting me. I really want to…”

From past experience, Jian Ni paused his anger halfway through his sentence.

Perhaps such unlucky people are indeed rare. Classmates passing by here in twos and threes covered their mouths and snickered.

Those were the polite ones; there were also those who laughed out loud directly.

For example, Lan Bao.

But after being punched a few times by Jian Ni, he became more polite.

“Magical Botany is still very easy to learn～”

A strange electronic voice came from behind Fu Fu. Jian Ni, who already understood that Ya Ya’s “social anxiety” and his own understanding of “social anxiety” were not the same kind of “anxiety,” didn’t want to talk to her at all.

“You still have the nerve to say that. If I hadn’t answered the first question wrong, why would I have been called on so many times?”

Lan Bao, afraid of being beaten and hiding behind Ya Ya, poked his head out: “But Jian Ni, no matter how you think about it, that answer shouldn’t be the answer.”

Magic Botany generally starts by introducing plants on Earth. The plant chosen for this lesson is the potato.

Question: Potatoes are easy to grow. Give an example of a place where potatoes grow.

It can be said to be a giveaway question.

But Jian Ni answered: The school’s small garden.

Even if he had said his own backyard at the time, the teacher might have let him off.

“Okay, okay, it’s over. Let’s think about how to make Lan Bao more popular with girls.”

The electronic voice was a little unfamiliar at first, but after listening for a few more sentences, a certain cuteness was heard from the pauses between words.

Cute Fu Fu made cute movements. Jian Ni’s subsided anger rose again when his gaze fell on the Magic Botany textbook on the table.

Turning his head, he snorted coldly: “The Magic Botany teacher might remember me like this. How can this matter pass so easily?”

He said so, but there wasn’t much anger left in his voice.

“Oh~” The electronic voice sounded disappointed, “If you can’t forgive Fu Fu, Fu Fu will be very sad.”

“The Magical Botany teacher is so strict. Being remembered by her…”

“I’ll treat you to a month’s worth of meals. Can you forgive Fu Fu?”

His words were interrupted halfway. Jian Ni didn’t continue, but it seemed like he had said everything.

He pulled Lan Bao out from behind Ya Ya and examined him: “Do you think, how can we make Lan Bao more popular with girls?”

A month’s worth of meals?

Rui Bu Si silently calculated. Many of the meals in the Meng Academy cafeteria were indeed free, and the ones that cost money were basically not cheap.

But based on the meals she had with Ya Ya these past two days, she…

Did she really have that kind of money?

Without dampening Jian Ni’s already improved mood, looking at Lan Bao who hadn’t reacted yet and was still a little out of it, Rui Bu Si wagged her right index finger, very confident: “I have a way!”

Under everyone’s expectant gaze, she explained the method in detail:

“First, pretend to be seriously engrossed in something;

Second, when she comes over, pretend to unexpectedly discover her, then take half a step back and smile shyly;

Third, look at her awkwardly, then pretend to be shy and clasp your fists in front of your mouth.”

A chuckle that couldn’t be held back came from the side. The voice wasn’t loud, but there were only a few people left in the classroom, and the distance was very close.

Several people who were listening attentively looked over. Mi Ya Xing raised his head and waved his hand:

“I just saw a very funny point in the book. It’s okay, you continue.”

Rui Bu Si was certain that the book Mi Ya Xing held up was a Magical Physics textbook.

Yes, it was the one she brought wrong.

First, it can be confirmed that there are definitely no jokes in the Demonology textbook. So—did she write any funny notes in the book?

“It sounds very useful, but it’s a little difficult.” Lan Bao easily believed it.

And decided to put it into practice: “Jian Ni, let’s try it later. I must make that girl like me more!”

The two people left immediately. Mi Ya Xing spread the book out on Rui Bu Si’s desk:

“The drawing is good, but the calculation is wrong.”

Drawing?

Oh, under the extreme anger of writing the problem, she added some artistic processing to the illustrations of the characters in the book.

It took several hours to write one problem, and it was still wrong?

“Where is it wrong?” Looking over, I can’t see it, I can’t see it at all.

“The first step.” Mi Ya Xing coughed lightly, barely suppressing his laughter.

“The formula here is wrong, but even if you calculate it according to this wrong formula… it’s still wrong.”
