Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 54: Frightened Xu Xiaoyan
"You don't have to worry about it."

Gu Yue did not answer directly, but turned her little face around, as if to say, "It's up to you to eat it or not."

Tsundere girls are always like this, wanting to be nice to you but unwilling to admit it, always pretending to be like this.

However, she didn't get a reply from Lin Ci for a long time, so she turned back and saw that the boy had already buried his head in the lunch box.

The girl couldn't help biting her rosy lips, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

They were back to school today, but classes wouldn't resume until the next day. All they had to do today was report to Wu Changkong, so with nothing else to do, they leisurely headed towards the campus.

Spring arrived in the east, and within a month, the temperature in Donghai City had begun to warm up. Tender buds had sprouted on the branches of the trees lining the campus path.

A gentle spring breeze was mixed with the voices of the two talking.

"Haven't you been to the Spirit Pagoda recently?" Lin Ci asked.

Lin Ci was particularly confused. He was nominally Leng Yaozhu's student, but apart from a brief meeting and a card, he hadn't had any further contact with her. They hadn't even had any contact.

But if you say that she doesn't pay attention to you, that's not true, like during the Tiandou City auction.

This is very contradictory.

"I went there once yesterday when I returned to Donghai City. But the teacher was at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters in Shrek City, so I didn't do anything." Gu Yue replied.

Lin Ci swallowed the last bite of meat from his lunchbox, the metal box reflecting tiny specks of light in the sunlight. He could feel Gu Yue's gaze lingering on the back of his neck, like spider silk covered in morning dew on a spring day, so light it was almost imperceptible.

"So you're just going to let me go like this?" He wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, spread his hands and looked at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue kicked the pebble at her feet, and it fell with a plop into the artificial lake of East China Sea College. Ripples appeared on the surface of the water, startling the carp that were looking for food.

The girl rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly, "That's perfect. With your lazy personality, you really wouldn't want to go to the Spirit Pagoda every day."

"That's true," Lin Ci nodded in confirmation. He didn't know what was going on. It should have been a good thing. Just being listed as such was really nice, especially since it would avoid awkwardness by not having to meet her. But for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh right." Lin Ci picked up the lunch box and asked, "Can I have this for a second time? It tastes really good, a bit like the roasted bear paws I had at the Ascension Platform."

Gu Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "You can have it again, but you won't be able to get more. This is what my chef made, I'm too lazy to make it."

Lin Ci nodded and reminded: "No wonder, the meat tastes good, but your chef really needs a change. If the ingredients weren't so delicious, I guess..."

What he didn't notice was that as he spoke, the girl's originally open palm had already clenched into a fist. The air pressure around her gradually dropped until it reached freezing point.

Just before the girl could no longer bear it, Lin Ci suddenly changed the subject.

"Of course, if this chef's name is Gu Yue, then you must have misheard what I said just now." Lin Ci smiled. "What I mean is, this chef is simply a god descended from heaven, the reincarnation of the God of Cooking..."

Gu Yue's clenched fists slowly loosened, and the air pressure around him, which had dropped to freezing point, gradually returned to normal. However, the girl didn't listen any further and turned to walk towards the teaching building. Lin Ci asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"If you don't go find Teacher Wu, it's time to go home." Gu Yue had already walked ten steps away. She raised her right hand with her back to him, and the five-colored element flow wrapped around her fingertips. She used the light element to spell out the word "go" in the air.

Lin Ci breathed a sigh of relief, watching the girl leave. The early morning light stretched the girl's shadow long and slanted, facing the boy from afar.

……

The next morning, the opening ceremony was held. Class Zero stood at the front of all the first-year classes without a doubt. Five people lined up in a row.

It was indeed five people.

Xie Xie stood in the middle, with Gu Yue and Tang Wulin on his left and right respectively, and Lin Ci on the far left. As for the far right, there was a sweet and petite girl.

Wu Zhangkong stood expressionlessly in the teacher's seat. His attitude remained the same whether he was in Class Zero or Class Five.

This kind of opening ceremony is still the familiar formality, with mostly encouraging words, but in reality it is of little use.

The other students in Class Zero were already used to it, so it wasn't a big deal. However, the new girl would occasionally tilt her head slightly to peer out and examine her new classmates.

When she glanced at the first three, she was mostly curious. But when her eyes fell on Lin Ci, she quickly retreated like a mouse meeting a cat.

Finally, the ceremony ended, and the students began to head back to their respective classes. Class Zero was also preparing to return to the classroom, and the new girl followed reluctantly, seemingly a little afraid to get close to Lin Ci.

Gu Yue noticed this scene, quietly tugged at the corner of Lin Ci's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on between you and her? It seems like she is very afraid of you."

Lin Ci didn't answer, but Xie Xie laughed and said, "You forgot, isn't this the sister of the man with the ice staff on the Spirit Ascension Platform during the final exam? I guess she was scared by Brother Ci."

"Introduce yourself." Wu Zhangkong said directly after returning to the classroom.

The girl stood up and faced Wu Zhangkong. She always seemed shy. "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Xiaoyan, I'm ten years old. My martial spirit is the Star Wheel Ice Staff. My spirit power is level seventeen."

Wu Zhangkong nodded, "In the next month, you need to prove your strength, and at the same time, you need to prove that you are suitable for Class Zero. After one month, you will decide whether to stay or leave."

Wu Zhangkong clearly didn't have a very good attitude towards the transfer students. After all, in his eyes, everyone in Class Zero had earned their place due to their strength and talent. And so far, he saw Xu Xiaoyan as just someone who had leveraged connections to get in. It was quite impressive that he could maintain this attitude before he discovered her shining points.

"Yes." Xu Xiaoyan agreed obediently.

Wu Zhangkong turned to the other four. "After a month of rest, we need to re-examine your physical condition. At the same time, we need to test your combat capabilities. I'll give you half an hour of meditation time to adjust your state. You too." The last four words were addressed to Xu Xiaoyan.

In fact, it is an inspection at the beginning of the school year. Through data analysis, it can also indirectly analyze whether students have worked hard in practice during the holidays.

However, this first test made Xu Xiaoyan, who was already terrified, even more frightened. This was because the difference between Lin Ci's data and her own results was like the difference between an elephant and an ant.
