At this very moment, Xiao Wu, who did not have a single copper coin in her pocket, was feeling extremely conflicted.
Accustomed to being Sister Xiao Wu, she wanted Chu Chengzhou to call her Sister Xiao Wu, but her stomach was acting up, and she also wanted Chu Chengzhou to treat her to a meal.
Xiao Wu: “This is truly too difficult for Sister Xiao Wu!”
After struggling for a moment, Xiao Wu made up her mind and said: “One meal is not enough!”
Well, Sister Xiao Wu has become a ‘Meal-Adding Scholar’!
“I’ll treat you to dinner tonight as well!” Chu Chengzhou said with a ‘heroic’ expression.
“Deal!” Without hesitation, Xiao Wu agreed immediately.
The heavens and the earth are vast, but the stomach is the most important; in the end, Sister Xiao Wu was defeated by her own stomach!
Back when she was still a bunny, her food was the Blue Silver Grass that could be found everywhere in the forest, occasionally nibbling on some carrots to improve her diet.
But now that she had transformed into a ‘human cub,’ her taste System had changed, and the ubiquitous Blue Silver Grass was no longer edible.
Although he had to pay for two meals, Chu Chengzhou didn’t mind at all.
Compared to having to call Xiao Wu “Sister Xiao Wu,” let alone two meals, even paying for the entire semester’s meals was nothing.
Furthermore, today was the first day of school, and Chu Chengzhou, who had a little savings in his pocket, had originally planned to treat everyone to a meal.
Having settled things with Xiao Wu, Chu Chengzhou continued to make his bed.
“Hey, where did your bedding come from?” Suddenly, Xiao Wu asked another ‘idiotic’ question.
‘Where did the bedding come from?’ This question almost made all the working students in Dorm Seven laugh.
Where else could bedding come from?
You bring it from home, of course!
However, judging by Sister Xiao Wu’s meaning, she didn’t bring any bedding from home?
Was she that scatterbrained?
Seeing the ‘astonished’ expressions of her working student underlings, Xiao Wu immediately realized she had made a fool of herself again, her face turning red, feeling a little embarrassed.
But Sister Xiao Wu was worthy of being Sister Xiao Wu; she perfectly demonstrated what it meant to say, ‘As long as I don’t feel embarrassed, then you are the ones who are embarrassed.’ She immediately pretended to be nonchalant and began to examine the bedding of everyone in the dormitory.
She didn’t have any?
No problem, as long as the underlings had some!
What belonged to the underlings belonged to Sister Xiao Wu, and as for Sister Xiao Wu’s?
That was still Sister Xiao Wu’s.
After looking around, Xiao Wu discovered that the bedding of the working student underlings in Dorm Seven, perhaps due to their poor family backgrounds, was mostly tattered and torn, although not necessarily dirty, except for Chu Chengzhou’s.
Therefore, the financially strapped Sister Xiao Wu began to ponder how to trick Chu Chengzhou’s bedding into her hands.
Seeing this, the group of working students who had originally wanted to contribute their own bedding to their new Big Sister Head all gave up on the idea of offering it up voluntarily.
It was true; Big Sister Head Xiao Wu was a girl, not only beautiful but also very talented.
Their own tattered bedding simply wasn’t worthy of Sister Xiao Wu.
Besides, they couldn’t handle it; it had to be left to Boss Chu!
Before long, after Chu Chengzhou had finished making his bed, he discovered Xiao Wu staring at him gloomily from behind.
“…
What do you want?” Chu Chengzhou felt his scalp tingle from being watched.
“Little Chu, your Sister Xiao Wu didn’t bring any bedding.
Do you think we could…” Xiao Wu pointed to the freshly made bedding on Chu Chengzhou’s bed and patted his shoulder with an air of seniority.
“Don’t even think about it.
I will not sleep with you!
And I am not some ‘Little Chu,’ nor will I call you Sister Xiao Wu.” Chu Chengzhou refused with a serious face.
Although this was the Douluo Continent and there were no relevant laws, the education he had received in his previous life did not allow him to engage in such sleazy behavior!
“Pah!
What are you thinking?
You’re so young and already learning bad habits!
I meant for you to lend me your bedding for a few days.
Once I have money to buy some bedding, I’ll return yours!” Xiao Wu spat softly, her face blushing as she spoke.
Did you really think Sister Xiao Wu was that kind of person?
Uh, Sister Xiao Wu isn’t a human.
He had misunderstood; suddenly, it was a little awkward.
Chu Chengzhou hurriedly changed the subject to avoid further awkwardness: “If I lend you my bedding, what will I sleep on tonight?”
“Don’t they have bedding?
Can’t you just squeeze in with them?” Xiao Wu pointed to Wang Sheng and the others nearby.
Chu Chengzhou: “…” Why didn’t you say to squeeze in with me?
Of course, Chu Chengzhou didn’t say this out loud, lest he be considered a hooligan.
A child molester—that was a charge he couldn’t bear now…
No, he wouldn’t be able to bear it in the future either!
“It’s no problem to lend you my bedding for a few days, or even give it to you, but…”
“But what?” Xiao Wu asked hurriedly.
“In the future, if I ask you to be my sparring partner, you cannot refuse.”
Whether one’s combat experience is rich or not is extremely critical.
Chu Chengzhou didn’t want to become like Qian Renxue in the original work, who clearly had great strength but was limited by a lack of actual combat experience, unable to unleash her full power and falling into the hands of Tang San, who was at a much lower Rank than her.
With Xiao Wu’s strength and talent, she was enough to be a qualified sparring partner.
Of course, asking Xiao Wu to spar wasn’t for now, or even the near future.
Chu Chengzhou planned to Cultivate his Body Refining skills for a while longer; at the very least, he had to wait until his physical fitness was not inferior to Xiao Wu’s, otherwise, it would definitely be asking for a beating.
As for the bedding issue?
Just go home and get another set, or go to the street and buy another one, right?
“No problem, leave it to Sister Xiao Wu!”
Upon hearing that Chu Chengzhou’s request was just this, Xiao Wu immediately patted her chest and promised with high spirits.
Isn’t sparring just fighting?
As for fighting, Sister Xiao Wu likes it the most…
No, she is the best at it!
And she could beat up Chu Chengzhou for free; such a wonderful job was hard to find even with a lantern.
‘I hope by then you won’t be crying after being beaten up by Sister Xiao Wu!’ Xiao Wu gave Chu Chengzhou a meaningful look.
Subsequently, seeing that it was getting late, Chu Chengzhou called out to everyone: “It’s time for dinner, let’s go, the second floor of the cafeteria, my treat!”
Immediately, all the working students beamed with joy.
Coming from families that weren’t well-off, whether at the academy or at home, their meals were very average.
Delicious food was something they didn’t even dare to think about; being able to eat until full was already considered pretty good.
Every time Chu Chengzhou treated them, he would take them to the second floor of the cafeteria.
For them, the small kitchen on the second floor was a rare feast, and they would even eat a big bowl more than usual.
This was even more true for Xiao Wu, who was financially strapped—no, whose pockets were so empty they couldn’t even jingle.
Ever since she came to the human World, you simply cannot imagine how Sister Xiao Wu, with no friends or family, managed to survive.
Let me ask you, who has ever eaten raw Blue Silver Grass?
Wuwu, a starving Sister Xiao Wu has!
However, the past is already in the past; the past is unbearable to look back on, better not to mention it.
Subsequently, the group of eleven, led by the well-off Chu Chengzhou, marched aggressively towards the cafeteria.
