Chapter 32: A Dreamy Deal and a Candy Conspiracy

“Ugh…”

Luo Su cautiously poked Jiang Ning’s flushed cheek, pitifully cooing, “Sis, your face is so red, so cute~”

Gulp, these two…

Coming out of the classroom,

Their faces were kinda scary. Luo Su felt guilty… instantly, her survival instincts activated rainbow-flattery mode.

“Hehe…”

Jiang Ning hoisted Luo Su up single-handedly. Not intentional? As if! “Little trickster!”

“I’m a little succubus~”

Luo Su dangled in the air, correcting her. Full-on cute was serious business.

“…”

Jiang Cha emerged from the Chinese class trauma. Heaven knows, making a college student relive high school was pure torture! Utter despair.

“Hehe~”

She tugged Luo Su’s tail, curious. “Why’d Su Xi come to class?” The kid didn’t seem bookish.

“Gulp…”

Luo Su drooped, little feet circling in the air, explaining glumly, “Just… curious, then… walked in!”

Her tone,

Heartbreaking to hear, tear-jerking to listen. Jiang Cha bought it, but this trickster knew what was inside and still lured her in! Gotta teach her a lesson.

Luo Su: “…”

She’d been so cute—why the murderous vibe?! Shouldn’t these bad women melt at her charm?!

Facing their terrifying glares,

Timid Luo Su was forced to sign a tearful, unfair treaty…

“Hmph.”

Jiang Ning tucked the treaty away, rubbing Luo Su’s head. “See you tonight, little Su Xi!” She waved, exiting the dream.

As for…

Why not deal with the trickster now? She could only whine about Teacher Xu’s class—hours long, it broke her.

Rest up.

Recharge, then get revenge tonight. That’s the way, hmph~

…

To the left of No. 1’s gate,

A big “prairie” stood, off-limits, supposedly home to rare flowers—though no one’s seen them yet.

“Ugh…”

Luo Su slumped on a boulder, questioning life. Shouldn’t have tricked them… no, should’ve run after! Now she’d promised the bad women

To go to their place.

In the real world.

“Gulp…”

She swallowed, recalling the “family law stick” in Jiang Cha’s closet—spanking would knot her tail!

“Ugh… no way!”

Luo Su sprawled on the rock, tail slapping it despairingly. If only… she had backup! But where to find it?!

Wait…

Her sister?

Luo Su considered revealing her identity to family for the first time. Start with a younger, open-minded one.

Parents… needed more observation.

Not every parent could accept their son of years… turning daughter.

“Phew…”

“Forget it, home first!”

Think long-term… long-term. Her head hurt—this was too hard.

Reality.

The rental’s curtains let in faint light. Luo Su checked the clock—5 a.m.

Half-day job today.

“Yawn~”

She stretched big. Sleeping enough yesterday, she was just hungry, not too tired.

“Let’s go!”

At the familiar breakfast shop, with familiar NPCs, Luo Su bought a big, hot meat bun, nibbling happily in a corner.

“Phew…”

She looked up. “Where’s Gao Ye?” Thinking, she called him.

“What’s up?” Gao Ye panted.

“!!!” Luo Su panicked. “W-what’re you doing? We’re not adults yet!”

“?” Gao Ye’s breathing paused, annoyed. “What! I overslept, running over!”

“Ohhh…”

Luo Su blushed. She’d been cuddling left and right lately—misthinking was normal, right?

Ugh… not normal.

Her pure thoughts, gone forever! But… were succubi pure? She froze.

…

With yesterday’s experience,

Handing out flyers was easy. Done by 10:30—new mall, high foot traffic.

“Luo Su, you seem down today?”

“Phew…” Luo Su sighed. “Nah.”

“Because?”

Gao Ye leaned in, gossipy, exasperated. “Yesterday’s date got messed up?”

“…” Luo Su stayed silent.

“Sigh… Jiang Ning brought her sister, you could’ve brought me!” Gao Ye puffed his chest. “Never dated, but as a strategist, I’m more than enough!”

Luo Su sipped her cola disdainfully.

“…” Gao Ye shut up. Heh, he’d wait for Luo Su to beg him—then he wouldn’t be the worried one!

(He could already see)

(Her clinging to his leg for help.)

“Phew… let’s buy stuff and go.”

Luo Su fretted—visiting their place, meeting parents… scary…

“Sure.” Gao Ye nodded.

He’d bought his stuff yesterday—pure profit now, free to do anything.

“…”

In the supermarket, Gao Ye watched Luo Su grab a bag of assorted candies, blinking confusedly. Since when did she love candy?

His bro… never ate sweets!

Got it! Gao Ye realized—she must be buying for Jiang Ning, unsure of her favorite, so got every kind.

“Phew… that’s love!”

In the autumn supermarket, a single dog spun a melodramatic romance tale.

And he, the story’s

Wisest love guru! With his god-tier assist, his bro would marry a rich beauty, breaking class barriers for an epic love story!

“Hahaha…” Gao Ye laughed out loud.

Luo Su: “…”

What’s with Gao Ye? Sudden silly grin? She sidestepped—Mom said stay away from weirdos…

“Don’t worry!”

Gao Ye slung an arm around her, patting proudly. “I’ll carry this round, you just chill!”

Luo Su: “…”

What was he imagining! Sighing deeply, she stayed speechless.
