In the front row, slightly to the side.
Gao Yumin rubbed the spot where Lin Yu had hit him the day before, still seething with frustration.
What the hell kind of mess was this?!
It had nothing to do with him in the first place, yet he’d been dragged into it anyway.
He’d gotten pelted with stones and hadn’t even dared to fight back.
When classmates asked, he had to make up some bullshit story about getting into a fight with some thugs.
The tougher he sounded, the more humiliated he felt inside.
That bastard Lin Yu was just good at throwing stones—what kind of skill was that?!
If it came down to a one-on-one fight, Gao Yumin, with his size, wouldn’t back down at all.
But chickening out without even trying? That was what really stung.
And what about Lin Yu?
Today, not only was he acting like nothing had happened, but he’d also become some kind of "campus celebrity."
Who could he even complain to?
Lost in these thoughts,
Gao Yumin glared viciously toward Lin Yu’s seat in the back.
He wished he hadn’t looked.
What he saw nearly made his eyes pop out of his skull!
Gao Yumin: "!!!"
Holy crap!!
There,
the head of Chi Qingchi, the younger twin, disappeared below the desk.
Only her back was faintly visible as she leaned toward Lin Yu.
Lin Yu’s expression shifted rapidly, his face tense as he looked down at her.
Meanwhile, the older twin, Chi Qingshui…
was tilting her head, watching the scene unfold?
What the hell? What the hell were they doing?!
They couldn’t be… no way, right? Not in class?!
Gao Yumin refused to be the only one whose worldview had just shattered. He immediately nudged his buddies.
One by one, the members of the "Flame Sea Demons" turned to look back.
Gou Feng: "!!!"
Zhao Bin: "!!!"
Shi Yanhai: "???"
The four exchanged glances, none daring to follow that line of thought too far.
A moment later,
Qingchi straightened up, chewing and swallowing the last of her half-eaten popcorn.
She glared fiercely at Lin Yu, even raising a tiny fist in threat.
Lin Yu just grinned and waved, signaling that it was all a joke—no need to take it seriously.
Little did they know,
the two of them—no, the three of them!
Their antics had just shattered the fragile minds of the young boys once again.
……
"Alright, everybOdy, let’s take a look at the next group’s work."
"I know you’re all tired, and trust me, I want to wrap this up too—metOO."
"Just hang in there a little longer. We don’t have many groups left."
"This next one is… Chi Qingshui’s group!"
Hearing her name called, "Big Chi" immediately stood up.
Before each group’s work was shown, the leader had to explain their theme and introduce the members.
With Big Chi handling the talking, Lin Yu felt completely at ease.
He had no interest in speaking up—if she could take over every time, that’d be perfect.
"Teacher, our group has three members."
"I’m the leader, and the other members are Chi Qingchi and Lin Yu."
"Our theme is 'One Like Summer, One Like Autumn.'"
"Lin Yu was the photographer, while Qingchi and I acted as models and helped with lighting."
"We chose the locations…"
Big Chi went on at length, detailing their process.
As she spoke,
Lin Yu couldn’t tell if it was his imagination or just sharp intuition,
but every time she mentioned his name, Teacher Yan’s eyes would curve into a smile as she looked at him.
It wasn’t the kind of smile a teacher gives a student.
It was more like… the way a woman looks at a man.
Subtly, deliberately exuding her "charm."
Having spent enough time around women, Lin Yu had developed a sixth sense for these kinds of signals—ones most people would miss.
Especially when Yan Miaozhu noticed Lin Yu looking back.
The way she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, tilting her face slightly…
Classic!
Then,
before Lin Yu could question whether he was just being narcissistic,
the system’s prompt gave him the definitive answer.
[Ding!]
[Timed Mission: Crisis Approaches! The Holy Son and his Dao companions are traveling incognito through the mortal world when their identities are discovered by the "Green Snake Woman." She seeks to harm the Holy Son and sabotage his relationships with his Dao companions. Prevent her sinister plot from succeeding within the time limit!]
[Time Limit: Two days.]
[Rewards: 200 Sect Contribution Points, 400 Spirit Stones, 1 free system shop draw.]
Lin Yu: "!!!"
A-Zhu, you’re serious?!
So it wasn’t just his imagination.
This confirmed it—Teacher BalanCe was planning to make her move.
What worried Lin Yu more was the mission’s time limit.
Two days?
If he could avoid her schemes for two days, the mission would be complete.
Did that mean…
Yan Miaozhu would act within those two days?
She’s in that much of a hurry?!
Was her history professor husband really… that lacking?
Lin Yu took a deep breath, avoiding further eye contact with Yan Miaozhu.
If he just didn’t give her an opening, he could coast through these two days and claim the rewards, right?
With so many women already around him, maintaining stability meant keeping things within certain boundaries.
Yan Miaozhu, with her past scandals, had never been on Lin Yu’s radar.
He wasn’t about to chop down a forest of well-tended trees for one risky sapling.
Especially when that sapling belonged to someone else’s orchard.
"Class, let’s take a look at Lin Yu’s photos."
"Honestly, this is the best work I’ve seen so far."
"It’s perfeCt!"
"The photography technique, the golden ratio composition, the use of natural lighting—absolutely top-tier."
"He’s on a whole different level compared to everyone else!"
"Lin Yu? Where’s Lin Yu sitting?"
Yan Miaozhu stood up, pretending to scan the room for him.
Lin Yu: "…"
Acting like she hadn’t just been staring at him earlier!
Did she suddenly develop amnesia?!
If Lin Yu hadn’t seen that look in her eyes, he might’ve bought the act.
"Teacher, I’m here."
Lin Yu raised his hand and stood, not letting her "search" drag on.
Yan Miaozhu gave him an exaggerated thumbs-up:
"Incredible, absolutely brilliant!"
"Ah… I feel like there’s nothing left for me to teach you. As a teacher, having a student like you—do you know how happy that makes me?"
As she spoke, she clasped her hands over her heart, putting on a theatrically moved expression.
To be fair…
Yan Miaozhu’s looks leaned toward the pure and innocent side.
Her short hair made her seem even younger.
Standing at the podium, acting so openly affectionate… it was actually kind of charming.
Not the slightest bit forced!
Luckily, Lin Yu had strong self-control.
Any other college guy with less experience? She’d have their soul wrapped around her finger in seconds.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!
