Chapter 20: Homework Crisis

  Yongji sprang up and slapped the magic mirror, shouting: "Be serious! Stop losing face for our family! Otherwise, when we get home today, it's the usual instant noodles punishment! I'll throw you into boiling water!"

  The magic mirror didn't dare make a sound again, and another white light flashed by. In the mirror, an image gradually appeared...

  At some point, the boys also gathered around, and just like that, they were staring at the magic mirror in three layers inside and out.

  Slowly...

  Slowly...

  Slowly...

  (First of all, I'm not padding the word count!)

  Again slowly...

  Still slowly...

  Very very slow...

  (It seems like I'm just making up the word count! ^_^)

  Then slowly...

  Slowly...

  Slowly...

  Want to hit me now?

  Slowly... an image appeared in the mirror, but it was just a black outline. It should have been a person's head, but next to it, a beautiful lily flower appeared clearly, with pure and delicate petals that had dew-like water droplets hanging from them...

  Suddenly a seven-colored light ring shot out from the mirror. At the same time, the black outline disappeared and was replaced by...

  Delightful!

  Slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, vermilion lips lightly parted, a small face without powder yet white and clean, not stained with rouge yet rosy... Silky eyelashes like two small fans gently covering those autumn-water-like eyes...

  She is smiling...

  Like spring breeze, refreshing the heart and spleen...

  Like summer rain, refreshing and cool...

  Like autumn mist, it's as if it's an illusion yet real...

  As pure and flawless as winter snow...

  Her eyes sparkled as she glanced around, and everyone felt like she was looking at them...

  The girls thought it was a friendly gesture...

  The boys were convinced that it was a deep and passionate glance...

  Everyone was stunned, infatuated and intoxicated...

  Including that little beauty... looking at her own face actually... actually started drooling... really strong indeed!

  But wait... why is the reflection in the mirror that of Xiang Yue? According to Yong Ji's words, shouldn't the soul's appearance be its original form, which should be that of Yin Qing Chi?

  How strange! Too strange!

  "Class has started! What are you still doing standing around in a circle? Get back to your seats!" The infamous teacher, Director Violent Dragon, had burst in at some unknown time.

  Everyone was shocked and rushed to scatter. In the chaos, someone accidentally knocked over a desk, and all that could be heard was "crash"...

  The magic mirror is broken...

  "A hoarse and muffled voice came over... 'Shi Yīng Ji made me break apart! Hurry up and fix me, waaahhh...!'"

  Sheng Gao 2nd Grade Class 2 Classroom.

  The teacher had just announced the end of class, and Qingchi immediately stuffed his books into his bag and rushed out of the classroom. This was the last class in the morning, and the bell had already rung a long time ago. Moreover, his stomach was so hungry that it was stuck to his back. But that damned "Extinction Shifu" was still babbling on and on! It's really annoying!

  "Hey Qingchi! Yin Qingchi! Wait for me!" He Tong hurriedly chased after him.

  "What's wrong with you? Can't you walk on your own? Are you annoying me on purpose?" Qingchi waited impatiently outside the classroom.

  "You rascal, you prioritize romance over friendship! Why have you been avoiding us lately? Is there no one else in your eyes except for girls?"

  "Shut up! I don't like girls, does that mean I have to like you? Am I a homosexual or something?"

  Qingchi thought to himself, feeling a little guilty, that although he was a boy, why did he not like playing with boys? Was it possible that deep down he was still a girl? His interactions with them were limited to just talking. Only with Xiangyue...

  "Ah, spare me the words!" He Tong warmly wrapped his arm around Qing Chi's shoulder "Hey, I know you're not interested in Xiang Yue, but can't you..."

  "Stop! I warn you, don't even think about laying a hand on her! And don't pretend to be something you're not!" Qingchi turned around and escaped from Hetong's "clutches".

  Just then, a serious voice suddenly came from behind the two: "Yin Qingchi, classmate!"

  The two of them turned around at the same time.

  Only then did "Master of Extinction" walk over with her lecture notes. She squinted at Qingchi and said indifferently, "I have a question that I've been thinking about for a long time - why has your academic performance been declining in a straight line? Not just math... Many teachers are surprised by this! I heard you're now obsessed with chasing girls, is that true?"

  "This is a rumor......" Qingchi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He Tong, on the other hand, was covering his mouth and laughing!

  "Extinction Shifu" stared at He Tong for a moment before continuing, "I'm reminding you that at your age, when friendships are still malleable, you must be cautious! It's better to keep some people at arm's length!" As she spoke, "Extinction Shifu" glanced at He Tong with a mixture of intention and nonchalance. The latter naturally knew who she was referring to as "some people", and quickly turned his head away, pretending not to understand her meaning. In his heart, however, he seethed: "Old nun, one day you'll fall into my hands! When that time comes, I'll make sure you die a terrible death!"

  "Tell me your home phone number! I'll visit your parents in two days!"

  "Extinction Master" said a sentence that made Qing Chi feel like he was struck by five thunderbolts! He stuttered: "I... I don't remember this..."

  "What? Can't even remember your own family's phone number?" "Mie Jiu Shi Tai" pierced Qing Chi with her profound gaze, making him shiver.

  "Hey, I don't even remember my own phone number. Let me check... " He Tong pretended to take out his phone and look it up.

  "Never mind if you can't remember! I'll go ask the administration office!" "Extinction Master" Yang Qi walked forward with a cold, icy face.

  If it weren't for He Tong supporting Qing Chi, she would have fallen! Humph, useless friend! Where can you help at all?!

  Xīnyuè and a group of girls wearing sportswear ran back to the classroom to grab their bags, just in time to run into "Extinction Shifu".

  "Xia Xinyue, you've been doing great lately, your grades have been rising straight up! Hope you continue to work hard!" The usually stoic "Extinction Sect Leader" was now beaming with a warm smile.

  "Yes!" Xinyue didn't know how to respond and hastily bowed her head.

  Not far away, Qingchi and He Tong happened to see this scene.

  "My goodness! She's as beautiful as a celestial being!" He Tong stared at Xiang Yue with eyes wide open.

  Qingchi stared blankly at Xinyue. At this moment, she was wearing a sporty outfit with shorts and long socks, her long hair tied back behind her head, her rosy cheeks glistening with beads of sweat that seemed to be on the verge of falling off. When she smiled, her vermilion lips parted slightly, revealing a hint of her white teeth - as captivating as could be! Had he himself looked like this in the past? But why hadn't anyone chased after him then? Ah, except for that silly boy with the surname Yin...
