Persimmons are always picked when they are soft, hehehe, little secretary, you wouldn't want...

At an inconspicuous corner of the school.

"Mmmpf mmmph..." The little secretary desperately grabbed at the hands covering her mouth, trying to pry them away.

Unfortunately, how could a plump hamster who never exercises and is full of useless fat ever compare to a forklift from a ruthless logistics company?

The dragon doesn't roar, the tiger doesn't growl, a tiny hamster is laughable, truly laughable...

Ye Cheng thus very smoothly "kidnapped" the little secretary and made a clean getaway from the crowd of onlookers. A stampede of ten thousand horses galloped through the hearts of the spectators, bringing to mind some mud, green grass, and horses...

What the heck, refund! We waited all this time just to see this?

Refund!!!

We want to see a bloodbath, we want to see the scumbag meet a terrible end, we want to see...

Ye Cheng: I'm going to walk the horse. You lot have so much to say every single day. Won't you be able to sleep at night unless I die?

Ye Cheng was also speechless. The female comrades at school were okay, but the male comrades really, each and every one of them, wanted him to cosplay a "teru teru bōzu" doll and hang out to dry soon. Their resentment was practically overflowing.

Fortunately, Ye Cheng was no ordinary person either. After a simple "visual greeting" (threat) to those around who wanted to tattle on him, the surrounding people behaved.

The surrounding people: Damn lackey!

Besides being cuckolded right in front of your face by some detestable older single woman like Lin Baizhi, the most infuriating thing in the world is exactly what Ye Cheng was doing now... he just loves that you can't stand him, yet can't do a thing about him!

Ye Cheng only slowly dragged the little secretary, inching his way out of the crowd at the very beginning. Once he broke out of the "toxic zone," he simply picked her up and ran!

Breaking into a sprint, in less than half a minute, Ye Cheng ran from the freshman area all the way to the junior year teaching building, charging up and down over twenty flights of stairs in one go without even getting winded.

There was no fatigue, only the relief and excitement of having successfully escaped and survived the joint pursuit of the young lady and the student council president. He was as happy as a monkey in a primitive rainforest who just got a handful of fresh bananas.

Woo-hoo!!!

I survived!!!

Ye Cheng, his face full of excitement, looked at the little secretary as he dashed through the stairwell. Even though they were already far from the incident area, Ye Cheng still wasn't reassured and didn't dare to stop, until...

"Ow!"

Ye Cheng: "..."

Why does my finger feel sore?

Ye Cheng's frantic movements became sluggish, and the extremely excited, relieved smile on his face also stiffened. He looked down and found a certain plump hamster biting him. Ye Cheng fell into silence.

Silently, Ye Cheng stopped, stood straight, and placed the large, biting hamster he had tucked under his arm onto the ground. Only... placed, but not completely placed. Her feet touched the ground, that's right, but her hands were still gripping him.

Simply put... she was holding on and gnawing.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Although he knew this kid wasn't very bright, he didn't expect her to be this not bright. She's already been put down, why is she still chasing to bite?

Silently, Ye Cheng shook his hand. The little secretary's head shook along with it, but she just wouldn't let go, making muffled "mmph" sounds, putting on a "fierce" appearance.

The little secretary seemed intent on making the person who bullied her pay the price. Well... she made him pay, but not completely.

“Hey, you hamster!” Ye Cheng called out to the little secretary as if teasing a fool. The little secretary acted as if she didn't hear, doing her own thing, showing no intention of letting go of Ye Cheng at all.

Instead, Ye Cheng suddenly yelling out like that seemed to startle her. Her originally tightly shut eyes squeezed even tighter, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Bad guy, I'll fight you to the end..." the little secretary mumbled incoherently, even now not forgetting to utter "tough words" to bolster her own courage, to build up her own momentum, to make herself look very hard to bully, very hard to provoke, very fierce...

The little secretary's mind subconsciously conjured up an image of her young lady scolding people, and then... using her not-so-bright little noggin, she automatically replaced the young lady's face with her own.

She had become her young lady's imposing demeanor, hehe...

Then she continued to bite down hard.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Ye Cheng made a fist and gently knocked on the little secretary's head, the kind of knock that causes confusion without harming the brain.

Thump!

Little secretary: "(๑°⌓°๑)"

The little secretary's eyes instantly cleared. Subconsciously, the teeth biting Ye Cheng loosened. Ye Cheng hurriedly pulled his hand back. Once the little secretary reacted, she became somewhat anxious.

"Give it back, give it back..."

The little secretary chattered, even seeming a bit unhappy that Ye Cheng had taken his hand back, putting on a huffy appearance.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow, putting on a "sharp and mean" expression: "Give it back? Kid, is this even your thing to ask for it back?"

Ye Cheng waved his hand... Under the sunlight, one could vaguely see a complete set of connected tooth marks across several fingers, and some...

Ye Cheng: "..."

Silently, Ye Cheng wiped his hand on the little secretary's clothes. The little secretary blinked, her eyes inexplicably looking wise, as if pondering why Ye Cheng was doing this.

"Alright kid, I don't have time to play with you now. I need to get back to class." Ye Cheng took out his battle-damaged Android phone, which had suffered a bite, and checked the time. It was about time to go back.

He had even thought up an excuse to deceive the young lady later. Earlier, he said he had a bathroom emergency, then the small one turned into a big one, and there was no time to explain, so he just ran...

Is it plausible?

Hmm... very plausible. After all, people have their urgent needs. If you don't believe it, there's no need to worry, because the young lady has no proof. She wouldn't specifically go to the school to check the surveillance footage just for his "bathroom" issue, right?

As everyone knows, school surveillance has another name: "Schrödinger's Camera." When nothing happens, it's high-definition, ultra-clear, can zoom in and out, can see your little movements down below, can...

Very "helpful"!

But once something happens, like a "friendly duel between warriors" among students, or the mysterious disappearance of valuables, the surveillance transforms from artificial intelligence into artificial stupidity.

The original HD Blu-ray turns into buffering at lightning speed... finally failing to load and becoming a black screen. So hard to guess, why on earth does this happen?

Do the smart friends in front of the screen know why this is?

Ye Cheng didn't think the young lady would specifically check the surveillance once just for his "going to the bathroom" matter. After all, once again, even with the young lady's substantial resources, she couldn't just check the school's cameras like they were her own family's surveillance, right?

Joking, could it be that the principal is part of the young lady's family?

Heh...

Ye Cheng had only taken two steps when he felt his right hand grow heavy, and then... the sore, painful feeling returned. It's back, everything is back, welcome back...

Wait, no.

Ye Cheng turned his head to look at the little secretary, who should have been standing beside him but was now dangling from his arm, frantically assaulting his muscle with her teeth.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Thump!

Stunned but not brain-damaged, Ye Cheng clenched his fist and gave the little secretary's head another knock, hoping to recreate the previous scene. Planning to make a quick escape right after, he figured with all her "useless fat," she wouldn't be able to catch up.

Unfortunately, ideals are plump, but reality is bony. As soon as Ye Cheng's fist came down, the little secretary, like a hydraulic press activating, immediately gave Ye Cheng a super-sized payback.

"Hiss..." Ye Cheng sucked in a sharp breath. Truly worthy of a giant hamster spirit, her bite was seriously impressive.

Ye Cheng even considered forcing her mouth open. Just a pinch right below the jaw, a slight press on the masseter muscle, and click—it would open.

Of course, it would hurt just a "tiny bit." Considering the little secretary was a useless good-for-nothing, Ye Cheng reluctantly abandoned the idea. It absolutely wasn't because he was afraid that after being wronged, she'd run to complain to the President, and then he'd be pounded into beef meatballs by the furious President. Absolutely not!

Since force was out, only soft tactics remained.

Ye Cheng thought for a moment and then...

"Miss, what are you doing here?" Ye Cheng looked behind him with an "astonished" expression, his voice full of shock.

Naturally, the little secretary heard Ye Cheng. Upon hearing that the Miss had arrived, her eyes instantly cleared. She remembered the President's previous description of the Miss, saying she would chop her into mincemeat and sink her in the river...

The little secretary shivered in fright, quickly let go, and hid behind Ye Cheng, trembling uncontrollably. She muttered under her breath.

"I didn't, I didn't bite anyone, I didn't bite him. Don't chop me into mincemeat, don't sink me in the river, wuwuwu..."

Ye Cheng: "..."

It seemed the fear of the Miss had truly reached its peak for the little secretary. This kid probably had psychological trauma. No doubt, it was from that time in the cafeteria when the little secretary took a bite out of him and was seen by the Miss...

Ye Cheng glanced back at the little secretary trembling behind him.

Look how scared the poor kid is.

And also... Giant Hamster, so you're not stupid after all!

You knew to let go when the Miss came, you knew to hide behind someone... So all along, you're also someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

In a way, the little secretary and Ye Cheng were kindred spirits. Ye Cheng was adept at using "moral victory tactics," and the little secretary was the same. After being bullied by Ye Cheng, she would fiercely fantasize in her head.

Simply put... Ye Cheng suffered terribly in the little secretary's imagination!

However the President usually treated Ye Cheng, the little secretary would automatically face-swap in her head, replacing the President's image with her own, and then furiously ORA ORA ORA the bully who picked on her!

Both were promising talents in "moral victory tactics," though Ye Cheng was just a step ahead. Not only did he use moral victories, but he also combined it with the classic combo of "a dog relying on its master's power." With that one-two punch, even the young masters in school had to keep their heads down.

Compared to Ye Cheng's shamelessness, the little secretary seemed much less impressive. Having such a great resource as the President, yet not using that influence to bully the weak?

Unacceptable, truly unacceptable...

Ye Cheng shook his head repeatedly in pity. If he were the President's lackey, he wouldn't be called "Grandpa Niu" anymore; he'd change his name overnight to "I Don't Eat Beef"!

Truly a useless, good-for-nothing giant hamster. Even when given the chance, you can't make use of it!

Wait... Hold on. If this hamster bullies the weak and fears the strong, doesn't that mean in her eyes, he's a "soft persimmon"?

Damn it, Giant Hamster Spirit! Couldn't tell you usually looked honest, simple, and harmless. Turns out you're the most scheming one!

The thought that he was seen as a soft persimmon by a hamster spirit, who then immediately launched a set combo on him, made Ye Cheng's anger rise from his heart and malice grow in his gall. Time for the classic little combo of... bullying the weak.

"Hey, hamster, come here. See what this is?" Ye Cheng put on a "ferocious" face and shoved the hand the little secretary had bitten right in front of her.

The saliva was gone, but the tooth marks were still very clear.

The timid little secretary had been hiding behind Ye Cheng for a good while. After a long time without hearing the Miss's voice or feeling the same "terrifying" gaze from before, she finally gathered the courage to open her eyes and look around.

It seems... she didn't see that fierce older sister?

The little secretary blinked her big, sparkling almond eyes, her gaze inexplicably looking a bit... simple. Soon, that simplicity turned into relief and excitement. Great, she's not here!!!

Ye Cheng: "..."

Ye Cheng fell silent. This kid's IQ test results probably wouldn't be higher than a Labrador's, would they?

Seeing the little secretary ignoring him, Ye Cheng, unfazed, coughed, gathered his emotions, and once again put on a "mean" expression, pushing his injured hand closer to the little secretary.

"Hamster, I'm talking to you. Let's see how we're going to settle today's matter!"

Seeing Ye Cheng's fierce expression, the little secretary shrank her neck. Noticing the marks she left on Ye Cheng's hand, she felt a bit guilty.

"It's fine, just wipe it and it'll be okay..."

As she spoke, the little secretary grabbed Ye Cheng's hand and started rubbing it, trying to destroy the evidence of her crime.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Alright, it's confirmed. This hamster in front of him definitely has a lower IQ than a Labrador. In that case... Hehehe, the strong must mercilessly humiliate the weak!!!

Ye Cheng pulled his hand back from the little secretary, who was still rubbing and trying to erase the evidence.

Click, click, click!

He took out his phone and snapped several pictures of his hand, preserving the evidence.

After doing all this, Ye Cheng showed the freshly captured evidence on his phone to the little secretary, who was now standing there looking simple and honest. He then put on a "this is a tough situation" face, shaking his head and starting to pressure the inexperienced little secretary.

"You've seen the wound. How it got there, I think you know better than I do. Tell me... what would happen if the Miss saw these pictures?"

Ye Cheng muttered as he circled the little secretary, applying pressure from every angle, 360 degrees without any blind spots.

As for the little secretary... she was already scared stiff, now standing there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. Her eyes held that inexplicably wise look again.

The wound on Ye Cheng's hand was indeed from her bite. And if that fierce Miss from before found out...

The little secretary, probably thinking of something, shivered again. Her mouth quivered, on the verge of tears. A faint mist gathered over her big, sparkling almond eyes. Looking utterly pitiful, she tugged at Ye Cheng's clothes.

"Bad guy, please, don't tell anyone about this, okay, sob... I'll agree to anything you say, sob..."

Ye Cheng: "..."
