Liang Sheng answered, “When I was heading upstairs, I ran into the staircase. I didn’t dodge in time, stumbled sideways, and smacked my head on the floor.”
“Ugh!” Hana fumed. “So the staircase bullied my Sheng-chan! Just you wait—Hana’s going to smash it right now!”
? Is it a problem with my ears, or yours? The staircase protested: I didn’t even move. That girl was the one who came at me first.
The staircase sat peacefully in the building as Sheng came crashing down from above.
“You…” How was Liang Sheng supposed to talk her out of it? Hana was already heading for the classroom door. “How are you even going to smash it? With your bare hands? Don’t hurt yourself—I’d feel terrible.”
Ding!
Favorability rose sharply.
“Hana’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 200+”
“…” Awesome, Big Sis. I just said one thing to dissuade you, that’s all.
“Mmm~” Hana came back obediently and wrapped her arms around Liang Sheng’s neck. “I knew my Sheng-chan likes Hana the most and can’t bear for her to get even the tiniest scratch.”
No, you’re overthinking it. I’m worried about the staircase’s safety—and scared you’d end up demolishing the entire school building.
“But,” Hana continued, her tone shifting abruptly, “don’t worry about Hana, Sheng-chan. Hana has a little hammer in her bag, you know.”
Calm down, Big Sis. Liang Sheng was stunned. “No, don’t destroy school property. Breaking public school items violates the rules. If you get suspended, you won’t be able to stay by my side anymore, right?”
Ding~
Favorability rose.
“Hana’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 200+”
So that’s the part you latched onto…
“Hey, what are you two tussling about over there?” Young Miss Lu Ziqing stood at the classroom door, hands on her hips and eyes bulging wide. Suddenly, she felt her hair color changing—and glowing, no less.
Stop! Young Miss Lu, don’t come any closer. I’m afraid you’ll lose your life.
Sure enough, Hana was furious at the interruption. “Who are you? Can’t you see Hana’s in the middle of getting cozy with her girlfriend?”
“Girlfriend?!” That shout was loud enough for the next class to hear.
Whoosh~ Favorability dropped.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 113”
“Liang Sheng, what is this supposed to mean? Since when do you have a girlfriend, and why didn’t I know about it?” Lu Ziqing lunged forward and grabbed Liang Sheng by the collar.
I… I just found out myself! Liang Sheng felt like bursting into tears. Damn, that big scumbag Su Ze—how did he ever keep his harem from erupting into chaos?
Ding-a-ling-ling~ The class bell rang like a lifesaver. Teacher Dong Yue practically glowed with an aura of righteousness, as if the light of justice itself was shining upon the earth. She strode into the classroom. Teacher Dong Yue was truly the messenger of justice in these times.
But Liang Sheng knew better. Her safety was only temporary. After class, another storm of blood and fury awaited.
Today’s dismissal bell rang incredibly fast. Liang Sheng bolted like the wind, but Hana—who was seated right by the door—managed to block her successfully.
Brace for the gale!
“Sheng-chan~ Why are you running so fast?” One of her arms was suddenly caught in a vise-like grip.
“Liang Sheng!” Lu Ziqing hurried over as well. “You’re not even going to explain this properly?”
“Haha!” Liang Sheng opened with an awkward laugh. “Well, she’s my friend. I’m a girl, she’s a girl… put it together, and doesn’t that make her my girlfriend?”
