Chapter 30: A Dreamy Detention and a Teary Tantrum
“Gulp…”
The sky fell for a certain loli. After washing dresses all afternoon, Luo Su slumped amidst a pile of damp skirts, realizing—the balcony couldn’t fit them all!
And…
She didn’t have enough hangers.
“What do I do…”
“What do I do…” Luo Su paced anxiously. Wet clothes would ruin, right?
“Or maybe…”
A wild idea struck. “Dry them in a dream?” She’d worn Jiang Ning’s clothes out of a dream… drying them there should be fine, right?
Lost in thought,
She flopped onto her bed, tail swaying—she was sleeping… for important business.
“…”
Blue skies, cloudless…
Luo Su sat on the school rooftop, musing, “Wonder if real people show up in dreams like this…”
Besides Jiang Ning and Jiang Cha…
Her dreams were always just her, doing whatever she wanted… total freedom.
“One burger!”
She grinned, a giant burger appearing in her hand. “Phew… dry the clothes, then eat!”
“Lalala~”
The rooftop was perfect for drying clothes—so big, she could spread them however she liked.
Just a bit boring…
Before, good food was enough to satisfy her. Why not now? Luo Su blinked.
“Probably ate too much today!”
She rubbed her round belly, carefree. “Ugh… let’s check if Teacher Xu’s in the classroom… hehe.”
It’d be fun.
Following familiar routes, she reached the teaching building, but many classrooms were empty…
Probably because she wasn’t close to those people.
Peeking cautiously,
She scanned her class. “Luo Su, late again? Stand at the back!” Teacher Xu said, annoyed.
Class was almost over.
Luo Su, sneaking in without reporting, clearly had mischief in mind.
“???”
“Okay…” Luo Su shuffled glumly to the back, then snapped awake. Wait, this was her dream!
“Hmph…”
“Teacher Xu, your good days are over! Take my flying kick~” She charged the class boss.
“Ugh…”
Clutching her head, Luo Su stood pitifully at the back, squatting in horse stance… forgot dreams had pain too.
“So painful…”
“Quiet, everyone, no laughing.” Teacher Xu raised the textbook, ignoring her antics. “Turn to page 86…”
“…”
Luo Su stared tearily at the closed back door. Could she still go home? And horse stance was exhausting!
She’d never goof off again.
School was scary… dream school was scarier!
“W-wah…”
Mid-cry, she noticed Jiang Ning wasn’t in class. Weird… she thought only familiar people appeared in her dreams.
“So…”
“It’s not what I thought.”
Phew… she wagged her tail, realizing this was just a dream. She was a loli now, but everyone knew her as Luo Su.
“…”
Gotta take class in a dream? Cao Cao killed in dreams… now she, Luo Su, studied in dreams?!
No way!
She snuck her tail to the door lock—locked?! Why? The rooftop opened!
Classroom door wouldn’t?
Luo Su glared resentfully, a textbook appearing in her hand. “…” She glanced at it.
“Ugh…”
“It’s really a textbook!” With her notes—and doodles, hehe.
“Luo Su, repeat.”
Teacher Xu set the book down, calmly continuing, “Repeat what I just said.”
“…”
Luo Su blinked innocently, hesitating before stammering, “You said: Luo Su, repeat?”
Teacher Xu: “Keep squatting.”
Luo Su: “…”
“Let’s continue…”
Ignoring pitiful Luo Su, Teacher Xu went on, “Here, the poet uses personification… vividly showing… the author’s XX emotions.”
Luo Su cried.
Cried from her own stupidity. Why come to the teaching building… to see Teacher Xu? “Am I some model student?”
So fake!
Time crawled, the sky darkening outside. The loli, slumped on the floor questioning life, finally broke!
“This isn’t one class…”
“My gosh, you did this on purpose!” Luo Su tugged her tail resentfully. A perfect rest day…
Gone!
“Alright… Luo Su, you can sit.” Teacher Xu, seeing her despair, finally took pity.
“But…”
“Why’s Luo Su so much shorter… an illusion?”
“Y-yes!”
Luo Su’s eyes lit up, scurrying to her seat. No more horse stance—reading was fine!
And so…
Luo Su endured endless Chinese class, finally reaching dismissal. Head drooping…
She trudged back
To the dream’s start—the lab building rooftop—gathering her dresses. “Gulp…” Hugging them, she tugged her tail glumly.
“Meow~” Hulu’s voice echoed.
“!!!”
Luo Su hugged the orange cat. “W-wah!” She sobbed dramatically. “I-I thought… it’d be ages before seeing you!”
Hulu: “???”
“Ugh…” The loli’s eyes were red, stuffing dresses into the closet, glumly picking up the textbook.
The sky fell!
“Wah! I remembered page 86, and it’s not even poetry! Ugh, a whole afternoon wasted! Wah!!!”
Now,
The little succubus cried harder. Anything more despairing? Yes, yes there was…
Ding ding dang…
Her phone rang. Exhausted, Luo Su answered without thinking.
“!!!”
Jiang Ning was livid. “Who bullied you!”
“N-no one…” Luo Su’s voice was nasal, eyes red, cheeks tear-streaked.
“I’m fine! I know it all!”
Jiang Ning gritted her teeth. “That jerk Luo Su, bullying the kid like this!”
Luo Su: “…”
She shook her head frantically. “Really, no…” Beep—the call cut off.
