Ch 35: Robbing Chocolate

“Teacher fainted!”

A shriek shattered the classroom’s stillness, a scene as if paused.

Jian Ni and several nearby classmates rushed forward, helping the Demonology Teacher up from the floor.

“Lan Bao, quickly!”

Lan Bao’s emotions hadn’t processed Jian Ni’s happy reaction to the test, and after a series of events, his brain was a complete mess; his brain processor didn’t react at all to Mi Ya Xing’s voice.

He stood there blankly, letting Mi Ya Xing pull him to the teacher’s side, until a sharp pain in his waist jolted him back to reality.

“Oof, that hurts.”

Wiping away the saline solution from his eyes due to the pain, Lan Bao shifted his attention to the person needing treatment.

After becoming a Meng Knight, he distinctly felt the changes in his Shi Juan Shi abilities; treating this minor injury should be no problem:

“Magic Show Show, poof, no pain, transfer!”

Huh, no reaction?

The unconscious teacher remained motionless, showing no signs of waking up.

But besides a little pain, he felt nothing else?

Looking at his own hands, he was somewhat bewildered.

Pushing through the crowd, Ba Bi stepped forward, quite displeased:

“Is your magic even working?”

Mi Ya Xing quickly stood between them, stopping the one-sided argument:

“Let’s send the teacher to the Infirmary first.”

This was clearly more important than discussing Lan Bao’s magical abilities. The group stopped their chattering and, with a flurry of movement, surrounded the teacher and left for the Infirmary.

The thoughtful Rui Bu Si picked up a wig, brushed off the dust, and after placing it back on its bald owner’s head, she remained where she was, watching everyone’s backs, with no intention of following.

Only Ya Ya remained in the classroom, sitting at her desk in a half-awake state; since the little notes were passed around, she had been lying on the desk without getting up.

With no intention of waking her roommate, Rui Bu Si picked up the chalk from the corner and accurately threw it back into the chalk box.

“The quality is surprisingly good, it didn’t break even after falling to the ground.”

Clapping her hands, she took out a small note from her pocket and giggled ominously in a low voice:

“Hee hee!!”

Good! Since everyone else is busy, she’ll have to handle the girls’ discarded gifts for Eric by herself.

Let her carefully analyze this plan of action.

Hmm… Damn!

Why does he spend most of his time in the attic, not giving his admirers a chance? Where is her opportunity to get rich?

The operation wasn’t going smoothly.

Tracking Eric’s whereabouts was pretty straightforward; just go where there are many girls, she didn’t even need the small notes.

But no one told her that the way people wanted to be with Eric wasn’t by giving him thoughtful expensive gifts, but by using coercive magical means.

Ah, nothing valuable.

And no one threw away chocolate.

The risk factor is also a bit high.

After thinking for a while, she felt that it would be more reliable to stake out the Fluorescent Tree at night.

If she continues, what if she gets sprayed by those dangerous-looking magical perfumes—

Rui Rui and Dan Gu Chun, having mutually sprayed each other with magical perfume, were embracing and exchanging sweet nothings.

They had both originally aimed for Eric, but he dodged, and the perfume missed its intended targets, instead hitting each other.

With this vivid example before her, and having seen many similar cases along the way, Rui Bu Si couldn’t guarantee that an accident wouldn’t happen to her.

Moreover, if Eric’s madly infatuated admirers thought she was trying to steal him… that would be even more terrifying.

Stretching her body, Rui Rui and Dan Gu Chun, oblivious to others, were pouring out their hearts to each other under the influence of magic. Unable to bear watching, Rui Bu Si walked past them sideways, choosing a different direction from Eric’s.

Unexpected joys always come quickly.

Having given up on the possibility of finding anything valuable during the day, she actually found a box still containing chocolates!

Hmm~ She knelt down, took one out, and smelled it—

It seems non-toxic, edible.

“It tastes pretty good.”

There are three more; should she save one for Ya Ya?

“Hey! Why are you stealing my chocolate?”

Before the sweet taste of chocolate fully melted in her mouth, she looked up in confusion and saw an angry girl.

Ah, she vaguely remembers this person.

Eric’s fiancée.

On the day of enrollment, she caused a huge commotion, and she helped every single student who was affected by it.

Why didn’t she go to the center of the commotion to help?

Of course, because it’s not safe to go to the center of trouble; it’s better to hide in the corner and listen to gossip, and conveniently complete the System’s tasks.

From Xiao Fu Die’s perspective, this was her first encounter with Rui Bu Si—

A strange girl who was secretly eating her chocolate on the ground.

“I’m sorry, classmate.”

With cocoa powder still on her fingers, Rui Bu Si wiped away nonexistent tears with the back of her hand:

“I’ve been an orphan since I was little, and I could only watch others eat. I saw it on the ground just now, thought no one wanted it, and couldn’t resist, so…”

“I see.”

The emotion shifted from anger to sympathy, and under the other party’s completely unconvincing acting and vague explanation, the simple Xiao Fu Die completely believed this statement.

“Okay then, anyway, I probably won’t be able to give the chocolate to Xiao Ai Gege today, so you can have it all.”

It’s okay, although Xiao Ai Gege didn’t like her this Valentine’s Day, she believes that next time, he will definitely be willing to eat the chocolate she made herself!

She just confirmed with Naiya that Naiya has broken up with Xiao Ai Gege and has no feelings for him, and won’t compete with her for Xiao Ai Gege!

Rui Bu Si couldn’t understand Xiao Fu Die’s happiness.

Clearly, she opened the chocolate box and put it on the ground because she was rejected. One piece was obviously missing, the one she ate herself.

As Eric’s fiancée, it goes without saying who this chocolate was originally intended for.

From her current impression, whenever Eric and Naiya are together, Eric’s eyes never leave Naiya.

Whoa, there’s actually a fiancée who isn’t a rumor or self-proclaimed.

Whoa, a strange love triangle.

Whatever, it’s not a big deal; this fiancée didn’t make her return the chocolates.

As for their specific, seemingly complicated relationship—

Walking across the campus with the chocolate box, Rui Bu Si realized that she could only ask Mi Ya Xing.

He’s close to both Eric and Wu Ke Na Na, and he must already know all about this gossip.

But…

Even if Mi Ya Xing is willing to talk, he will definitely do it in an extremely teasing way.

How awful.

In this respect, Mi Ya Xing is exactly like someone she knew in the past.

Putting another piece of chocolate in her mouth, Rui Bu Si recalled many memories that made her fists clench.

“I’m so handsome~”

Huh?

Slightly puzzled while eating the chocolate.

Such a narcissistic, familiar voice.

Before she could even poke her head around the corner, she collided with someone hurrying along, as if they were fleeing some kind of flood beast.

Her mouth was quickly covered, and the cry of pain that was about to escape was stifled in her throat, and she almost couldn’t breathe.

Oh no—

Someone is going to rob her of her chocolate!
