Chapter 65: A Sneaky Sweep and an Exam Escape

Swish swish swish…

Monday morning, the first day after National Day, Luo Su wielded a bamboo broom, diligently sweeping the school courtyard from left to right. Then, when no one was looking…

She dumped it all into the drain!

“Yay…!”

Raising her head happily, she plopped on the courtyard’s edge, sleeves dusted with grime. Who cares? Stretching wide, “Finally done!”

Time to slack off openly.

“Mhm.”

Hearing faint reading from the school building, she blinked, scheming quietly—slip up after morning reading, no problem, right?

No, definitely!

No issue at all—her rightful break time! Tossing the broom aside, she savored the last of her leisure.

But then, “Luo Su!”

“Wah!?”

Startled, thinking it was Teacher Xu, she spun to explain, only to see… Gao Ye, teary-eyed, sprinting over.

(Phew, scared me!)

(Just a loser, ugh, why’s Gao Ye so dramatic?)

“Ugh, I’m beat!”

Gao Ye clutched his waist, tired but excited. “W-wait, we’re true bros—late together!”

“…”

Luo Su eyed him, bad ideas brewing. “O-of course, but we gotta hurry, or Teacher Xu’ll catch us in class!”

(Hehe…)

Exams today!

As expected, Teacher Xu was likely in class. Going now? Walking into a trap. But she’s on cleaning duty~

“Makes sense!”

Gao Ye gripped his bag straps, seeing Luo Su as his savior. Alone, standing punishment is torture; together, it’s a badge of honor!

“Charge!”

Puffing his chest, he waved grandly. “Worst case, we show Teacher Xu our bro bond!”

“…”

Luo Su bowed her head, shoulders shaking (not laughing!). “Y-yeah… our bond’s unbreakable!”—As if, she’d ditch him first!

At the classroom door,

Gao Ye saw Teacher Xu, heart sinking, miming a throat-slit to Luo Su, knocking glumly. “Report!”

Teacher Xu paused.

Glancing over calmly, “Put your bag inside, stand outside, explain later why you’re late.”

“Got it…”

Sighing, Gao Ye glanced at Luo Su, relieved. “I’m going in, good luck!”

“…”

Luo Su faked a yawn, strolling in boldly. Gao Ye: “???” Bro, when’d you get so brave!!!

Teacher Xu blinked.

Luo Su pointed at the blackboard. He looked—her name on cleaning duty. Nodding, “Go in.”

Gao Ye: “???”

What?! That’s cheating! Teary, standing alone…

“Haha…”

Luo Su couldn’t hold it—Gao Ye’s face was too funny. Next time, again!

“Up to no good?”

Jiang Ning blinked curiously. Somehow, this kid loved pranks, though… nine out of ten times, she’d trip herself.

“N-nothing!”

Luo Su puffed her chest, righteous. “Gao Ye overslept! I didn’t block his door…”

Jiang Ning blushed.

Despite Luo Su’s serious tone, she pictured the succubus trapping her at her door. Gulp, locked in all day…

Wouldn’t that be fun?

“Done for!”

Jiang Ning turned away guiltily, feeling doomed. Those naughty novels—read less! “W-why am I like my sister!”

“???”

Luo Su blinked, confused. What’s this bad girl thinking now? Sighing, she pulled out her geography book, deciding to study the last few minutes.

“Mhm!”

Grinning, she shook her head. “My secret weapon’s ready!” Picturing her rise from mid-rank to top.

—Then, she’d flex on her sister, even win Mom’s favor!

…

Soon, the first math exam began.

“…”

Luo Su clutched her head miserably. How?! I had a secret weapon, why’s it the same?!

“Ugh…”

“These questions… not in the book! The ones I know, I could’ve done anyway…”

(What’s the weapon for?!)

Teary, was it useless for math? Not giving up, she thought harder.

“Hey!”

An idea! Finishing the paper, she plopped down happily. “Hmph, I’ll stroll in a dream!”

Anyway…

For later exams—literature, chemistry, biology—answers were in the books.

(Hmph~)

(Maybe not first, but top ten’s easy!)

…

Sunlight filtered through the old banyan tree, casting dappled spots. A breeze stirred unswept leaves, rustling softly.

“Haa—”

Luo Su lounged on the basketball hoop, tail swaying lazily in the sun. The empty courtyard was serene, wind teasing her hair.

“Skipping exams is the best~”

She flapped her wings—still no flight. But sneaking around felt like a forbidden game, thrilling her heart.

“Gulp…”

Gingerly tapping a wing.

“Ugh…!”

Less sensitive than day one, but besides her tail’s heart, it still… made her toes curl in delight.

Addictive!

Blushing, even closing her eyes, she imagined getting stuck in a washing machine, bad girls helping—one holding wings, one yanking her tail…

Then…

The ‘machine’ breaks!

Splish splash, leaving a pitiful succubus crying. Why’d she keep thinking this?!

“Ugh… hot.”

Ears burning, she scurried to the dorm. Cold water needed—this heat was too weird!
