Ch 199: Congratulations to you

He then thought that he wasn’t the only one who disliked messy holidays, turning his head to look at Yu Feng, only to see the girl take out two chocolates from her pocket, handing one to Ji Mi and one to him.

From the moment Yu Feng’s chocolate was passed to his hand, from the moment Ji Mi’s expectant gaze turned to disappointment, he knew he was done for today.

“Um…”

He began to regret why he hadn’t gone to the Magic Commercial Street today, and why he hadn’t gone the extra mile to buy a few chocolates;

He began to regret that when he saw several girls gathered together making chocolates, and they enthusiastically offered to share one with him, he hadn’t accepted it.

He felt that at this moment he should say something nice, so that the mistakes he had made could be dealt with leniently.

“I forgot.”

Very concise, very straightforward, very personal.

After saying that, he felt a pang of guilt.

“Let’s go eat, I’ll treat you.”

“No!” Ji Mi’s eyes twinkled, “Although your act of forgetting your friends is simply unforgivable, but who am I to be unkind to my friends.”

He intimately put his arm around He Yan’s shoulder: “Why don’t we just get straight to the point, and return this month’s pocket money to Xiao Feng Feng and me…”

Ever since he secretly followed to Meng Academy, Principal Ous, in order to prevent him from running around again, initially made it so that to buy anything he had to run to the Principal’s Office to ask Principal Ous personally, or leave an IOU paid by Principal Ous at the store.

Despite his months of effort—his pocket money still didn’t end up directly in his own hands.

But he found someone easier to persuade.

He licked his lips: “Don’t worry, even if we have money, we absolutely won’t run around, and we absolutely won’t let Principal Ous know about this!”

“No.”

The refusal was crisp and decisive.

Ji Mi：……

He wasn’t easy to talk to either.

“If you don’t trust me, you can still trust Xiao Feng Feng, you can give her share to her, girls always have a lot of things to buy, it’s too much trouble to always ask you for everything.”

He kicked his foot to the side, the tacit understanding between people was evident at this moment.

Although he had been spacing out, stroking the duck entrusted to him in his arms, and hadn’t been listening to what they were saying, but the moment his eyes met Ji Mi’s, Yu Feng immediately looked at He Yan and nodded earnestly.

“No.”

The answer was still a refusal.

He Yan crossed his arms, seeing through his little trick: “Principal Ous said that regardless of the reason, money cannot be given to any of you.”

The distrust between people was evident at this moment.

Ji Mi pulled Yu Feng and quickly walked forward: “Let’s go, we’re not playing with him.”

Damn it, his plan to sneak off to the human world for a while in two days!

Waking up from his sleep, the hungry Ya Ya “Ga Ga” called twice in Yu Feng’s arms, Ji Mi turned around and glared at He Yan: “See, even the duck doesn’t approve of your actions!”

He Yan：……

……

After buying the duck snacks, Ya Ya walked out of the shop and shivered from the cold wind outside.

I don’t know what’s gotten into this year, they had to have a romantic snowstorm on Valentine’s Day night.

Just putting on a show would be fine, but they had to lower the temperature to create atmosphere.

She didn’t feel any romance.

She only felt the cold wind.

Various advertisements were placed in front of each store—the old routine, almost every year it’s these.

She left with the duck snacks without much care, the cold wind blew, her mind cleared a bit, she looked at the bag in her hand, which was quite heavy, feeling that she had bought a bit too much.

Then she stopped in front of a shop for a long time.

Usually priced at 1299, today it’s only 520!

It doesn’t seem cheap either.

Just as she was about to leave, she glanced at the large bag in her hand again.

She was too good to that dead duck.

She felt she should be better to herself.

But—

Couple’s discount.

She looked at her empty right hand, then at her left hand holding a large bag of snacks.

I wonder if the shop manager would believe her lie and give her a discount if she said she liked duck snacks.

I should have brought fufu out.

A plushie would have been more convincing.

Her eyes scanned the surroundings, the people on the street were in pairs, some were buying clothes for their partners, some were brushing the snow off their partners’ heads, there wasn’t anyone like her, single and craving a discounted meal.

Oh, wait, her eyes lit up.

“Classmate, are you free? There’s something very important I need your help with.”

The moment he saw her, He Yan hallucinated a ground full of magical potions and ears full of cries.

Having obtained his Teacher’s License through the Teacher Selection Event, he had just reported to Meng Academy today, Director Pa said that Teacher Qian Jin had gone to Mars on a three-year vacation, his office was empty anyway, so he was given it.

Along with it, he was also given Teacher Qian Jin’s cabinet.

I don’t know how long the cabinet hadn’t been opened, the moment it was opened, the foul smell of rotten durian spread throughout the Teacher’s Office.

The first person to open the cabinet and face the smell—Pa Hua Luo Di fainted on the spot, several teachers rushed to send him to the infirmary, leaving only himself behind.

There was no way, first he had to deal with the rotten durian, then wash the inside and outside of the cabinet many times, it looked clean and tidy, but the smell still lingered.

He went back to the Faculty and Staff Dormitory, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to the Magic Commercial Street to buy a bottle of deodorant to try.

If that didn’t work, he would have to pour magical potions into it… He pondered which magical potion would be most effective, immersed in thought, striding forward, until his clothes were tugged, his forward movement was obstructed, and his busy steps throughout the day stopped.

“It’s you?” The classmate who asked him for help was still smiling sweetly a second ago, and the next second, her true nature was revealed, probably remembering that she was asking for help, after looking around, her smile returned to sweetness.

But it looked strained.

“I’m a teacher at Meng Academy now.”

“Oh,” she responded without much interest, expressing her congratulations formally, “Congratulations.”

“Then, teacher, could you please help me with something?”

“What is it?” The still-untreated cabinet was still on his mind.

It wasn’t his style to only do half of a job, but as a teacher, of course he should enthusiastically help if a classmate needed it.

Remembering Teacher Qian Jin’s teachings in the letter, he tried his best to appear more friendly to this classmate with whom he had had a past conflict.

“I want to treat someone to that.” She pointed to the shop, showing her high EQ in front of food.

After a pause, seeing that He Yan didn’t seem very interested, she said tentatively: “A teacher wouldn’t refuse a small request from a student… right?”

During that silence, He Yan only thought of how he had accidentally broken three of her magical potions, and then too many things happened, by the time he returned them, she no longer needed them.

“I’ll treat you.”
