Lu Yanzhou: “…”
“Shi Liaoliao… did you get the wrong thing?”
The novel’s domineering CEO’s feeling of being so exasperated that he wanted to laugh but couldn’t was filling his chest.
Good news: hilarious.
Bad news: he was the joke.
Upon hearing this, Shi Liaoliao took the item back and glanced at it.
“Young master, I didn’t get it wrong.”
She even thoughtfully checked the production date.
“It hasn’t expired, young master, feel free to use it.”
The youthful vigor vanished from Lu Yanzhou’s face early in the morning.
“How do you have this?”
Shi Liaoliao looked righteous: “A supermarket giveaway.”
【I’m not telling you I stole it from the servants at the Lu household】
Yes, it was from the grandson of that gardener who repeatedly bullied Shi Liaoliao. After that guy stepped on Shi Liaoliao’s foot, she stole this old man’s hemorrhoid cream that same night.
She, Shi Liaoliao, never leaves revenge until next year.
【Don’t worry, Yanzi, hemorrhoid cream, caring for every eye~】
Lu Yanzhou: “…”
Some things, if you can’t figure them out, just let them be. Think about them later, and you’ll forget.
“Let’s go.”
Shi Liaoliao casually stuffed the item into her pocket and went to open the door for Lu Yanzhou upon hearing this.
As she turned, the scent of soap mixed with a faint woody fragrance drifted into her nose.
Lu Yanzhou adjusted his cuff and instinctively asked: “Did you spray perfume?”
Shi Liaoliao nodded.
【Dog nose, I only sprayed a little and he smelled it?】
Lu Yanzhou, the dog nose, thought the little manservant had put in effort, even knowing he liked this brand of perfume.
But alas…
He couldn’t possibly be with a man.
Lu Yanzhou was very certain about his sexual orientation.
“Don’t come to pick me up at noon.”
Taking his book from Shi Liaoliao, he walked toward the group waiting behind him.
Shi Liaoliao wasn’t curious about the reason. As long as it wasn’t fooling around with anyone other than the female lead, Lu Yanzhou could do whatever he wanted.
Thinking about the yet-to-appear female lead, Shi Liaoliao was deeply skeptical.
【I say, Wanwan, did our female lead get lost midway? Why hasn’t she appeared yet?】
Wanwan was also puzzled; she should have arrived by now.
【Host, don’t worry, there are only two possibilities now】
【First, that Gu Xuezhao】
【Second, the female lead encountered something and is trekking from Africa】
Shi Liaoliao: “…”
What’s the second one? If she’s the female lead, there are more likely possibilities than that.
For the second-period swimming class, Shi Liaoliao took the certificate she exchanged from Wanwan to the teacher.
She had spent several points, which hurt her heart.
“Teacher, can I not go into the water for swimming class? I’m afraid of water, this is the certificate issued by the hospital.”
Shi Liaoliao handed over the form.
Before coming, she had investigated all the courses at Saint Dun Academy. After discovering there was swimming, she had thought about how to avoid it. With clothes covering her normally, it was fine, but wearing that thin swimsuit would definitely expose her.
Even fearing that someone with a sensitive sense of smell might detect the scent of blood on her, she had deliberately sprayed perfume.
Though she still didn’t understand why the original owner left the note ‘exposing gender will lead to death,’ her intuition told her there must be some danger, so she was very serious about keeping her gender hidden.
“Alright, just watch from the side then.”
While all the boys changed into swimsuits, Shi Liaoliao alone walked toward the corner.
Her gaze swept past Gu Xuezhao sitting on the bench, and she was somewhat surprised.
Although curious about how she had managed to get leave, Shi Liaoliao had no intention of asking this troublesome girl.
Seeing Shi Liaoliao approach, Gu Xuezhao was clearly a bit surprised as well.
Ignoring her reaction, Shi Liaoliao rummaged through the bag she had brought along and pulled out the homework assigned by the teacher earlier to review.
Over on the other side, after swimming freely for a while, the boys started roughhousing.
Shi Liaoliao took a quick glance but didn’t spot that conspicuous red hair in the crowd. No surprise—he had probably skipped class.
She then withdrew her gaze.
In theory, only one class should be using the swimming pool at a time. The teacher had stepped away briefly, but a few students with “D” sewn onto their swim trunks walked in.
The sight of that letter made Shi Liaoliao instinctively recoil, but she reminded herself that this was a stereotype—she couldn’t assume everyone was bad just because of Wu Zi and his crew.
But as it turned out…
D-rank and F-rank really were like oil and water. Hearing the commotion, Shi Liaoliao looked up again.
Their class’s spot had been taken over. Those D-rank students had driven everyone away, even pushing one of them into the water and surrounding the pool’s edge to prevent him from climbing out.
The other F-rank students stood off to the side, seething with resentment but too afraid to speak up.
Shi Liaoliao recognized the one in the water.
He seemed to be a fairly popular guy in their class—someone everyone liked hanging out with, and the only one who still greeted Shi Liaoliao when they crossed paths.
For the sake of that daily “Good morning,” Shi Liaoliao packed up her things and quietly got up, intending to slip away and find the teacher.
Unfortunately…
Shi Liaoliao’s life lacked money and affection, but it was never short on idiots.
“Shi Liaoliao! Are you going to get the teacher?”
Gu Xuezhao suddenly called out from the corner, her voice so loud it echoed throughout the entire swimming pool.
And successfully drew everyone’s attention.
Shi Liaoliao: “…”
Damn you, Gu Xuezhao. Were you born a cucumber, just begging to be slapped?
“Oh, we missed one.”
“Hey, shorty over there, hurry up and get your ass over here.”
Shi Liaoliao, who stood at 174 cm with several layers of Height-Increasing Shoe Insoles and was hardly short, rolled her eyes.
“My grandpa’s dead. What, you want to go join him?”
Shi Liaoliao sneered as she walked over.
Just as the guy was about to get angry, he froze upon getting a clear look at her face.
“It’s you?”
The one who had cracked Wu Zi’s skull open that day.
Seeing him suddenly fall silent, Shi Liaoliao pushed through the crowd and reached out a hand toward the boy still floating in the water.
“Get up.”
Watching the D-rank students’ arrogant demeanor vanish, the F-rank students exchanged uncertain glances.
The boy in the water, however, didn’t hesitate. He grabbed Shi Liaoliao’s hand and pulled himself up with her help.
“Thanks, buddy.”
His dripping face broke into a grateful smile.
The D-rank students clearly recognized Shi Liaoliao and started to leave as if nothing had happened.
“How boring…”
The leader muttered under his breath, sounding annoyed.
Shi Liaoliao tossed a towel to the boy.
Then she glanced toward her own classmates.
“The enemy’s pissing all over your home, and you just stand there watching? Should you kneel down and congratulate them on their way out too?”
Shi Liaoliao’s tone was dripping with sarcasm.
The others, reminded of what had just happened, clenched their fists.
They were all freshmen who had just started school—each one of them had been pampered growing up. Provoked by Shi Liaoliao’s words, their anger flared instantly.
“Stop right there! Who said you could leave?”
They quickened their pace, surrounding those few D-grade individuals.
The leader wore an expression of utter offense.
“D-grade trash, are you looking to die?”
Shi Liaoliao said nonchalantly, “If anything happens, I’ll take care of it.”
With this assurance from a member of the Lu family, all the F-grade boys instantly rushed over and started brawling.
Wanwan remarked in a faint tone, How do you plan to take care of it?
Shi Liaoliao replied calmly, Go back and kowtow to Young Master Lu.
The essence of it: speaking with the most arrogant tone while doing the most humble thing.
Wanwan: …
As the fight grew increasingly intense, the boy wrapped in a towel nearby timely suggested, “We should go break it up…”
Shi Liaoliao nodded, “Yeah, you’re right.” It wouldn’t be good if things got too out of hand.
The boy added, “That idiot earlier called you short. Don’t take it to heart. At worst, we can just jump up and punch his knees.”
Shi Liaoliao stopped in his tracks, expressionlessly pulled the decorative parasol from its stand, closed it, and walked toward the ‘battlefield.’
The boy asked, “…What are you going to do with that?” Break up a fight with a parasol?
Shi Liaoliao kept his eyes forward, “I’m going to shove it up that fool’s ass and open it repeatedly.”
The boy: …
What a vicious method!
