The night wind blew and the dropped leaves danced. I walked on the forest path in the school yard. Even through it was early autumn, there was a firefly dancing in the bushes.
In front of me, Wan Er was wearing a short white skirt. Even without makeup, her pretty face was bewitching under the warm light of the road lamps. Although she wore very simple clothes, anyone could tell that she was a top-class beauty. I followed behind Wan Er, which meant Iwas a bodyguard; if I walked side by side with her, it would imply that I was her boyfriend.
“Xiao Yao, today we’re not going to eat in the cafeteria. Let’s go out somewhere to eat. Where should we go and eat?” She asks suddenly.
I instantly replied: “We should go and eat expensive food!”
Wan Er suddenly stopped then turned around and looked at me with those beautiful eyes: “You want to die? My savings for this month are used up and not much money is left…”
I spread out my hands: “Then let’s eat some fried egg rice from a stall somewhere, but I’m only afraid that you won’t like it…”
Wan Er pouted her mouth and smiled: “Who said that I won’t like it? Let’s go!”
“Will we really go eat fried rice?”
“Of course, why would I lie to you.”
“Fine…”
……
We went outside of the school and rows of stores were selling delicious food. 9 o’clock at night was the business peak for students and in Liu Hua University there were probably over a thousand students playing . So, the number of people that came here and eat was not a small one.
We chose a small stall and I pulled out a chair and let Wan Er sit down first. I then sat directly opposite to her and raised my hand and said: “Boss, two bowls of fried egg rice please! The 4 yuan (70 cents USD) ones!”
Wan Er took out her cellphone and looked at the forums online. On the side, many students that were eating rice discovered that there was a super beauty here. All of them had their eyes wide open and their drool almost fell onto the tables.
I rested my chin on one hand and I looked at Wan Er bored. She pursed her lips and whined: “Damn it…I was ranked first just a few seconds ago in Fan Shu City, but now I’ve been overtaken and dropped back to fourth. I was just helping Cheng Yue with a quest, but now so many people passed me already… ”
A pair of watery, beautiful eyes and nothing lacking on her face, I was enchanted. The clothes she wore suited her and her soft little face was pretty in the scenery of night. I was tempted to pinch her face, but of course I wouldn’t dare do so.
“I want to raise you like a pet…” I accidentally slipped some deadly words.
Wan Er was faintly distracted and said: “What did you say just now?”
I immediately corrected myself: “Nothing. I said nothing.”
The edge of her lips rose and she smiled: “Who do you want to raise as a pet?”
I shook my head immediately: “Nothing. You heard wrong…”
Wan Er snorted and said: “Whatever, you probably couldn’t afford to raise me…”
“……”
“Oh right.” Wan Er looked at me: “I saw a post on the forums and it said because of Yue Qing Qian’s problems, you and Yan Zhao dueled and you lost…”
I nodded: “Mm, Yan Zhao’s attack is way too high for me. I couldn’t take his level 4 [Combo] strikes, so that loss is normal.”
“But I also heard that you broke off the last two strikes of Yan Zhao Warrior’s [Peerless Strike].” Wan Er smiled: “Peerless Strike only takes 1.7 seconds and you successfully interrupted the combo. You’re pretty good…”
My face went red: “Actually, it was just lucky hit…”
“Of course it was…” Wan Er laughed then looked at me and asked: “Li Xiao Yao, my dad once told me that you’re no ordinary person. In all of Hangzhou city he said that there might not be even one person that can match your skill. Actually I’m also very curious. Are you really that powerful?”
I clenched my teeth and replied: “Lets not talk about that. If I don’t have to fight then I try not to fight, so I can avoid damaging any relationships…”
“Then why’d you duel Yan Zhao?”
“That’s because…”
“You like Qing Qian!”
“No. Absolutely not!”
“Hehe, lies!”
I gave up: “Okay, I like Qing Qian. Are you happy now?”
Wan Er shrugged and lowered her head: “I couldn’t care less about your personal life and feelings~”
“……”
After a few minutes the fried egg rice was ready. When I finished my second bowl, Wan Er didn’t even finish her first. I asked: “Why isn’t Cheng Yue with you today?”
“She’s doing a quest right now, so she said she’ll just get take out.”
“Ah…”
As she finished up I clapped my hands: “Let’s go now. Do we have classes tomorrow?”
“Yep, are you going?”
“I don’t want to. Will my grades be affected?”
“Nope, I’ll cover for you. I have connections with the professor tomorrow….”
“Okay!”
……
We reentered the school yard and walked back onto the same road that we came from. The rocks on the road creaked slightly and didn’t give way, but Wan Er was wearing heels that were at least 7 cm high. Of course they were beautiful, but while walking she was a bit unbalanced, so she carefully treaded along.
