Liang Sheng’s eyes widened, a soft warmth pressing against her lips.
Just as her mouth registered the wetness, a sharp scream pierced the air.
“Mmph!” The two separated in a flash.
Liang Sheng hadn’t even processed what happened. Clutching her burning cheeks, she slowly slid down the wall. The first kiss she’d saved for seventeen—no, thirty—years was gone just like that. Sudden and gone.
Hold on—that scream sounded awfully familiar!
Twisting her head around, Liang Sheng saw Hana glaring at her with eyes bulging in fury.
Oh no! What the hell! She was doomed! She was going to get chainsawed!
Hana swung her “knife” wildly and charged straight at Gu Yuqi.
“Run!” Gu Yuqi instinctively reached for Liang Sheng, urging her to bolt.
Liang Sheng scrambled to her feet, ready to flee with Gu Yuqi, but then she thought better of it. No way—if she ran now, and this little yandere found out later, she’d definitely end up on the wrong end of that blade!
“Senior Sister Yuqi, you run!” Liang Sheng shouted as Gu Yuqi dragged her along.
“No way!” Gu Yuqi refused flatly.
On the bustling street, passersby turned to stare at the trio, assuming they were shooting some kind of movie. Only a few level-headed ones pulled out their phones and dialed 110.
Hana was closing in fast. Gu Yuqi shoved Liang Sheng forward. “You go first—I’ll hold her off!”
Liang Sheng had no choice but to sprint ahead.
Huh? There was a narrow alley. Liang Sheng darted inside and hid.
Gu Yuqi rushed past without glancing into the unremarkable gap.
Another figure flashed by—Hana! Liang Sheng shot out her hand and yanked her in.
“Sheng…” Before Hana could finish, Liang Sheng dragged her to the end of the alley, behind a stack of firewood.
“Sheng-chan! I’m going to kill her! She dared to defile my Sheng-chan!” Hana yelled at the top of her lungs.
No good—if this little yandere kept shouting like that, Senior Sister Yuqi would hear for sure.
Suddenly, Liang Sheng remembered that Makabaka Canon Law.
It happened in an instant.
“Mmph!”
Hana was forced to take the hit from Liang Sheng—exactly like the one Gu Yuqi had just given her.
Originally, Hana’s back had been against the firewood. But two seconds after Liang Sheng struck, Hana snapped to life. She spun around, putting Liang Sheng on the defensive.
Liang Sheng felt her mouth flood with wetness—Hana’s “poison saliva” pouring in, trying to “poison” her.
Ahhh, how had she forgotten? Why was she starting to enjoy it?
Liang Sheng jolted awake and mumbled through the kiss.
“Makabaka!”
Hana went limp abruptly and collapsed to the ground.
“Huff, huff~” Liang Sheng panted heavily.
Now she could erase the last half hour from Hana’s memory!
Liang Sheng wiped her lips, her face flushing again.
So… it felt that good, huh. Ahem!
She glanced at Hana sprawled on the ground, a headache brewing.
“Kazuko, how long will she be out? How am I supposed to carry her back?” Liang Sheng rubbed her forehead.
Akino Kazuko first flashed a goofy emoji, giggling like an overexcited auntie at her host. Only after Liang Sheng scolded her did she get serious.
“Just pat her head, and she’ll wake up.”
“Oh…” Liang Sheng fretted. “Does this Canon Law come with a guarantee? What if she didn’t forget?”
“No way! This isn’t some no-name knockoff!”
“Fine…” Liang Sheng mustered her courage, squatted in front of the little yandere, and patted her head.
“Mmm…” Hana stirred slowly, sat up, and rubbed her eyes.
“Sheng-chan, what happened to Hana? Why am I sitting on the ground?” Hana looked around in confusion.
Phew—she’d forgotten. Liang Sheng let out a relieved breath.
“Does Hana still remember… Hana was French kissing Sheng-chan ^3^~” Hana licked her lips with a grin. “That was Sheng-chan’s first ^3^~, right~?”
Liang Sheng’s emotions rollercoastered wildly. At Hana’s first words, she’d thought the little yandere remembered everything. But no—she’d only recalled the kiss itself.
Ah, what a relief. Liang Sheng patted her chest.
“Yeah~” She forced out a few crocodile tears. “Y-you have to take responsibility for me~”
Hana lit up with excitement, grabbing Liang Sheng’s shoulders. “Can we do it again?! Sheng-chan!”
“Huh?!” Liang Sheng struggled free from the little yandere’s clutches. “Class is about to start! Let me go—we’ll talk after school, do stuff then, okay?” Stabilize her first.
Hana released her grip. “Okay~ Sheng-chan~ I’ll wait for you after school~”
“Good, good!!” Liang Sheng fled in panic.
Back at school, Liang Sheng slumped into her seat, savoring the memory of those two French kisses.
“Ehehe~” Lost in thought, she even let out a silly chuckle.
“What’s got you so happy?” Lu Ziqing passed by and tapped her desk.
Liang Sheng reacted fast. “Because I saw our Young Miss first thing this morning!”
Ding~ Favorability increased.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 135”
“Hmph~” Lu Ziqing lifted her chin proudly, took her seat, and stretched her legs under the desk of the girl in front—Liang Sheng. “You’ve got that mouth of yours, always sweet-talking. Who knows which words are real!”
“I, Liang Sheng, swear to the heavens!” Liang Sheng raised her right hand with three fingers extended. “If I’m lying, may lightning strike me right now!”
She lied all the time anyway and had never gotten zapped once.
Ding~ Favorability increased.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 136”
Haha, raising favorability was that easy~ Liang Sheng shrugged dismissively. She even shot a smug glance back at Su Ze, who stared like an idiot. What was wrong with that Big Pig Hoof this early in the morning?
Whoosh—rain suddenly poured outside.
Lu Ziqing and Liang Sheng both turned to the window, falling silent.
Whoosh~ Favorability decreased.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 135.5”
“Th-this doesn’t count yet—no thunder! Just rain. Coincidence, total coincidence, haha~” Liang Sheng scratched her head with a goofy grin.
Crack! Lightning split the sky.
Liang Sheng: “…” Talk about bad luck—even cold water would clog her teeth at this point.
Whoosh~ Favorability decreased.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 135”
“Ahaha!” Liang Sheng laughed awkwardly again. “See? What a coincidence! Lightning, but no thunder. Just chance.”
Boom!
“Shock Thunder! Heaven-Piercing Cultivation Heaven-Collapsing Earth-Shattering Purple Gold Hammer!”
Liang Sheng: “…You freaking—”
Whoosh~ Favorability decreased.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 133”
“It’s just a coincidence!” Liang Sheng sweated bullets. Was the heavens really watching her? No way! Heavens, you voyeur!
Boom!
Another thunderclap, and it struck…
