This is exactly what I wanted to see.

Originally seated at the back of the classroom, Shen Nian and Ma Mingfan were now forced right up against the wall.

Shen Nian broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like he had been set up by Ma Mingfan. Why did he have to take that idiot's bait? If Ma Mingfan wanted to stand in punishment, why drag his buddy into it too?

He really needed to hit Ma Mingfan with a Dust Release.

Ma Mingfan's expression remained blank, because last week he had come across a cosplay photo of a top-tier beauty and commented "Mommy."

As long as he always had a spare mom in reserve, he would remain undefeatable in any online argument, never fearing the loss of his birth mother again. You should comment and find a mommy too.

Ma Mingfan used to think those calling people "mommy" in comments were just showing off their repressed feelings, but now he understood the brilliance of their strategy.

Standing at the back, Shen Nian wasn't really bothered either. He had never been the model student teachers talked about, and had occasionally been pulled out for standing punishment or copying lines before.

It's just that his grades were passable, neither the best nor the worst, so teachers never gave him too hard a time.

Even though he used a fake name every time he was late, Su Kexi never scolded him, at most teasing him a little, and would often try to motivate him with some encouraging words.

Teachers Su Kexi and Yan Yuzhu deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Since he was standing anyway, Shen Nian's gaze landed on Xia Yanchun, who was sitting directly opposite him.

Taking advantage of Su Kexi turning to write on the blackboard, Shen Nian took a step forward and reached out to flick Xia Yanchun's little ponytail.

Xia Yanchun turned her head and shot Shen Nian a fierce glare before quickly turning back.

Shen Nian grinned, showing his teeth. This was their sworn enemy mode; this was how you played the game.

Li Shiyan, sitting beside them, was dumbfounded.

They're in class! Just because you're familiar, you can play around like that?

The key point was, although Xia Yanchun's expression looked fierce, Li Shiyan felt she wasn't angry at all. It seemed less like anger and more like shyness...

This is just too, too, too, too good to ship, wow!

Ma Mingfan's eyes went wide. He elbowed Shen Nian and whispered in a low voice, "Whoa, bro, you're that bold?"

"What's the big deal?"

His bro had even pulled on Haki Chun's bra strap before.

Shen Nian, of course, wouldn't tell anyone about such things. He thought flicking a ponytail was pretty normal. Back in elementary school, he'd flicked other girls' hair too, and it was no big deal.

Playing with girls without flicking their hair is like not playing with them at all.

"Shen Nian, you're the man."

"How do you know?"

"?" Ma Mingfan instantly made a face of disdain. "Who's talking about that, you idiot?"

"Then what are you talking about?"

"Daring to flick a girl's hair, you're really something. I wouldn't dare do that now."

"What about before?" Shen Nian asked.

"I dared back then," Ma Mingfan said, rubbing his nose sheepishly. "But the girl told the teacher."

"..."

That really was tragic.

Shen Nian used to play with girls often, and hair-flicking was commonplace. He never saw any girl get really angry or blow up.

Well, Xia Yanchun would hiss.

When he first started flicking Xia Yanchun's hair, she would easily punch him. Probably after getting used to it, she gradually stopped bothering with him. He could flick it however he wanted, and this had gone on for over ten years, right up to now.

"Wait, you didn't flick the hair of a girl you weren't close to, did you?"

"I really did, right after we changed seats."

"Then you're not innocent at all. If it were me, I'd call the police. You should only flick the hair of those you're on good terms with."

"Ah, I was young and didn't know any better."

Chinese class ended quickly. Not long after the bell rang, Shen Nian and Chen Dong had already respawned in the cafeteria.

After lunch, returning to the classroom, Xia Yanchun and Li Shiyan hadn't even started eating yet.

Xia Yanchun was holding a cup, taking a sip of her goji berry water. Seeing Shen Nian arrive, she immediately averted her gaze.

She was not familiar with this kind of pervert who dared to flick her hair in the middle of class in front of everyone.

If he dares to flick hair now, he'll dare to hold hands in class later!

"What's up with you?"

"Hmph."

Shen Nian was confused. Since Xia Yanchun still ignored him, he glanced at Li Shiyan. "Did you do something to upset her?"

Li Shiyan blinked her eyes and shook her head vigorously. She knew nothing!

"What are you angry about?" Shen Nian pulled two candies from his bag, pulled out the chair of Xia Yanchun's front desk and sat down, waving the candies in front of her. "Want one?"

"No," Xia Yanchun said flatly.

"Are you angry because I flicked your hair?"

"No, I just find you irritating."

"You, Haki Chun." Shen Nian curled the corner of his mouth. His two fingers, like little legs, started walking on the desk in front of the two girls, aiming to hook out Xia Yanchun's curled pinky finger.

But with Li Shiyan right there, how could Xia Yanchun let him succeed? She immediately hid both hands in her pockets, huffing and puffing while glaring at him. Although her expression showed the usual disdain, a faint pink hue had already colored the young girl's cheeks.

How bold, Shen Nian! Actually doing that in front of Shiyan...!

What is this stinky little brother trying to do!

"Ahem."

Shen Nian tossed a candy to Li Shiyan, performing the Great Desolate Prisoner Sky Finger technique. "You saw nothing, understood?"

"Mhmm, mhmm, mhmm!" Li Shiyan nodded quickly.

He actually touched Xiao Chun's hand! Could it be that Shen Nian is pursuing Xiao Chun?!

This is just too good to ship! This is exactly what I want to see!
