Chapter 11 of Volume 1: Frosty Skin and Snowy Complexion

  School gate.

  I'm so tired, it's been a hard day! Xinyue looked at the faintly western sunset and let out a long sigh. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name from behind, and when she turned to look, it was Yu Duo.

  "Hello, is there something I can help you with?" Xinyue asked with a smile.

  Hopefully it's nothing troublesome, Xiang Yue thought to herself, she had an important task at hand after all.

  "Hmm, nothing much, just happened to see you and wanted to walk home with you. Xia Xinyue, you're so cool! The whole class admires you!"

  "Ah... I do, haha, haha..." Xinyue scratched the back of her head with a sheepish expression, but in her heart, she was extremely pleased. Just thinking about the look on Mie Chong Sheng's face and the respectful eyes of all her classmates made her feel elated.

  "I just don't understand, your math grades are so good, but your English is a mess, it's really strange."

  "Ah, this... maybe I'm a bit biased, haha..." Xinyue laughed it off, but felt wronged in her heart. She was clearly better at English than math! Right, how many points did she get on that test anyway? She'll go ask Qingchi when she gets back.

  It's just as well that they're not in the same class, or else Xinyue would have known that Qingchi didn't even get his test paper because he couldn't understand what the teacher was saying, and to make matters worse, he was called into the office and almost fainted.

  "What is Xinyue thinking about? She looks so cute biting her finger!" Yu Duo said with a smile.

  "Ah?" Xinyue was taken aback for a moment, quickly pulling out the slender jade finger that was still in her mouth, her face flushing with embarrassment.

  "Haha... My face is all red!" Yu Duo showed no mercy, adding insult to injury.

  Oh no, I accidentally did something like that, how embarrassing... If it were the real Xia Xinyue, she definitely wouldn't do something like this. I need to be more careful in the future!

  "Hey, Yu Duo, shall we head home? My place is on Yunxi Street, where's yours?" Xiangyue quickly changed the subject.

  "Oh! It's very close to my home, let's go together!"

  "Mmm!" Xīnyuè nodded, her face still flushed red.

  Another corner of the school gate.

  "My goodness, is that really the rough girl? She's become so gentle and lovely now!" Hei Tong exclaimed excitedly, his eyes filled with red hearts.

  "Bang!" A heavy punch, it seems that someone has already risen to a leadership position in just one short day.

  "What's 'now'? What's 'changed'? Xia Ruiyue has always been a gentle and lovely beauty!" Qingchi said disdainfully.

  "Yes, yes, yes! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? X, where's Fatty gone to? It's already this late and he still hasn't come back!" Hezi said while lighting a cigarette with a "click" sound, and asked Qingchi if he wanted one.

  Qingchi stretched out his hand, hesitating whether to receive it or not, when he suddenly heard a clear and crisp female voice behind him shouting: "Upperclassman!"

  Turning to look, it was a short-haired beauty, smiling at herself. Seeing He Tong had already taken the lead, she casually brushed her long hair aside and asked: "Beautiful beauty, what instructions do you have?"

  But unexpectedly, the beauty didn't take it kindly, smiling as she pointed to the clear pond behind her, indicating for He Tong to move aside.

  It was as if the heroic spirit had been short-lived, He Tong let out a long sigh, shaking his head and walking away, muttering to himself, "16 years, 16 years, for the first time a girl came looking for him instead of me, ah~" It had a flavor of "the strong wind blows and the brave warrior goes off never to return".

  "Please accept this!" The girl handed over a colorful envelope and ran away with a red face.

  The boy had received countless love letters, but this was the girl's first time. Qingchi smiled and felt a thrill of excitement in her heart as she was about to open it, when Hetong suddenly came over from behind, "Quickly, quickly, let me see what's written!"

  "There's nothing to see, it's just a love letter, they're all the same, I've seen plenty!" Although he himself was curious about the contents of the letter, he didn't want He Tong to get involved in this too, so Qing Chi shrugged and stuffed the love letter into his bag.

  Two people were playing around, a short boy with glasses came over and handed a letter to He Tong.

  He Xiayu was tearing open the letter while laughing, "What a wonderful day! One good news after another!" But when he opened the letter, his smile froze.

  "Luō Pàngzi is in my hands, wait for you to come and pick him up at the small forest behind the mountain. Bring that stupid egg with the surname Yin. Remember, I only want to see the two of you! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!"

  Sacred Cross Academy, small woods behind the mountain.

  Luo Kai was tied to a large tree, on the verge of collapse, with wounds of all sizes covering his body. His originally plump face had swollen into a pig's head.

  "That bespectacled, tall and thin figure sitting on the rock, over 190 cm in height, is their leader, known as Enter Cloud Dragon. Alas, there are ten of them in total, they've specifically brought you here, today I won't be able to protect you, it seems a severe beating is inevitable." Hei Tong coldly smiled twice, with an air of being ready to die.

  Who wants your protection! Although the flexibility is a bit worse now, but the strength has increased greatly, haha, all thanks to Xinyue's blessing!

  "Kappa, it seems like that fat guy is done for!"

  Although I hate Qing Chi calling me like that, with a great enemy in front of us, I couldn't care about that anymore. "You're underestimating Kai Ge, he's just pretending, that rope can't tie him up, if it really comes to a fight, I estimate he can take down two or three people. Ah, what a pity you don't know how to fight, if you could hold off two people there might be some chance of winning."

  "Hmph," Qingchi sneered, tearing off his windbreaker and charging towards the crowd with a flourish, shouting "Kappa, the two on the left are yours, I'll take care of the rest!"

  The black windbreaker fluttered in the air, and the rusty "Ghost Fighting" words on it were particularly eye-catching. The truth is often held by a small number of people, and the contrast between strength and weakness is clear at a glance, and the outcome of victory or defeat is also evident.

  Xia's home, bathroom.

  What good luck! Dad, sister, brother are not around, what a great opportunity! Didn't get a chance to take a close look last night, today I must study myself carefully in the mirror!

  Originally in a good mood, the ears were again echoed with what seemed to be a threatening voice from hell, "If you dare to mess around, hum, I'll take off my pants and only wear socks and run naked, don't say I didn't warn you!"

  But taking a bath is something that must be done every day, am I supposed to go to school stinking and dirty?

  Although it's comforting to think so, there's always a sense of guilt. Should I call the Yin family and ask if Qingchi has arrived? No, that would be like saying "no silver here" when you have 300 taels of silver hidden away.

  It's impossible, what a coincidence! That Qingchi guy is now enjoying himself somewhere, who knows where.

  Xīn yuè tàn le kǒu qì, hái shì yǒu zhǒng zuò zéi de gǎn jué, hē hē...

  Shut the door, lock it tight, without a sound. In the blink of an eye, clothes are shed, and all is as expected. Hair tied up, eyes closed, facing the mirror, legs spread apart, heart racing like a little rabbit...
