Yes, I did all of this!

Upon hearing this, Huizi clutched her head in anguish: "Ah, I wish time could go back to the past."

Seeing this, Yuzhi shook her head with amusement and started packing her backpack.

"Ring, are you all packed?"

She stood up, turned to look at Shen Wuling, and asked.

“There’s no need for that.” Shen Wuling shook her head lightly: “The textbooks can stay here, since I don’t need to hand in my homework anyway.”

"...Say it again, that's really nice." Huizi quickly shifted her attention, looking at Shenwu Rin and saying with emotion, "--By the way, Shenwu-kun, do you need me to help you carry it downstairs? It must be very inconvenient for your wheelchair to go up and down the stairs, right?"

Shen Wuling shook her head slightly: "No, this wheelchair can adapt to all terrains, so there's no need to worry."

"Wow, that's amazing... They actually have this kind of technology."

"It was just a pre-order from Shenwu Group, but that kind of thing happened before it was even released, so I kept one for my own daily use."

"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Huizi subconsciously wanted to comfort Shen Wuling's devastated family situation, but she didn't know what to say, since her parents deserved their fate.

After thinking it over, she finally managed to ask, "So, Shenwu, where do you live?"

“Live with Yuzhi,” Shenwu Ling said calmly.

"I see..."

Huizi vaguely remembered that Yuzhi lived in an apartment. It might be a bit cramped if the three of them lived together, which made her feel quite sorry for her.

"Alright, I should go home now, Yuzhi, let's go." Shenwu Ling, carrying her schoolbag, nodded to Huizi and then looked at Yuzhi.

Hui Zi chuckled and said, "We still have to leave the school. If you don't mind, we can chat a little longer."

"It doesn't matter, but I have nothing to say."

"It's alright, it's alright. I can catch up with Yuzhi."

Watching Yuzhi push Shenwu Ling's wheelchair away from her seat, Huizi followed beside her: "Thank you for the homework this morning. I didn't expect the math teacher to suddenly move the class forward by one period. I almost didn't have time to hand it in."

It's not just the students who are missing from this school; some teachers have also resigned or transferred to other places during the holidays. As a result, the courses have changed significantly compared to the previous semester. If someone gives her homework a class late, Huizi will be in no time to finish.

"I'm glad I could help you, but Huizi, you still have to finish your homework yourself," Yuzhi said with a smile.

"Yes, I did. I originally planned to finish my homework during the study session, but then there were either strange attacks or a major cold wave, which really disrupted my plans."

"Seriously... can't we just stay home?"

"There's no atmosphere like that," Hui Zi said with a grin, scratching her head.

Then, she remembered something: "By the way, Yuzhi, do you live at home with Shenwu and her sister?"

"Yes... I was with other people too."

"There are other people?" Huizi was taken aback, and said in disbelief, "Won't it be too crowded?"

"Is it crowded? Not really, the room is... fairly spacious, I actually find it quite lively."

Upon hearing this, Huizi thought again. Yuzhi's parents were also wealthy. It shouldn't be that they wanted her to suffer by squeezing in with so many people. Thinking this way, she breathed a sigh of relief and put her worries about Yuzhi aside.

. . . . . .

The thought had barely surfaced in her mind when Huizi shuddered and banished it from her thoughts.

—It's a bit dangerous to leave Yuzhi, a single woman, alone with an older man. Once this idea takes hold, it will generate many more dangerous ideas, so it's definitely not a good idea.

Chapter 533: Shoujo Manga

. . . . . .

Before they knew it, the three of them had arrived at the school gate, and Yuzhi stopped with Shenwuling.

After school, there were quite a few cars lined up here, and many parents were already waiting at the gate. Perhaps because of the strange person's activities, more parents chose to pick up and drop off their children themselves.

"Ah, then we'll be going now. See you tomorrow," Yuzhi said with a smile, looking at Huizi.

"See you tomorrow."

Hui Zi smiled and waved, looking in the direction the two were heading, searching for Shen Wuyin's figure.

In her estimation, it was unrealistic to have Yuzhi push Shenwu Rin back in a wheelchair, so she thought that Rin's older sister, Shenwu Yin, would personally pick her up and drop her off... Although it was a bit tiring for the older sister to pick up and drop off her sick younger sister and friends at school, it was all reasonable.

—Until Huizi saw a man in a trench coat standing in front of the car and greeting Yuzhi and the other person.

"No, why do I see that old man everywhere?"

Upon seeing this, Huizi was stunned for a moment, and her expression immediately turned strange.

"Hey, I'm not late, am I?" Duanmu Mo asked them with a smile.

"No, we just got out of school too." Yu Zhi looked at Duanmu Mo and smiled.

"That's good. Here, Ling." Duanmu Mo opened the car door, easily reached out and hugged Shen Wuling, placing her on the seat.

As soon as she sat down in the car, Shen Wuling casually crossed her legs, took off her shoes, and began rubbing the soles of her feet, which were covered in white stockings. Clearly, she had been cooped up in class all day.

"Sigh, it's hard to even move your legs at school. You can only sneak a little movement during class."

Yu Zhi got into the car, and Duanmu Mo placed the wheelchair in the car before returning to the driver's seat and starting the car.

As the vehicle moved, Shen Wuling looked up at Xia Yan, who had been sitting silently in the passenger seat since earlier:

"By the way, Xia Yan, what brings you here too?"

"Ah, Senior Xia Yan, I didn't even notice you just now." Yu Zhi had just put down her schoolbag when she turned around in surprise to look at Xia Yan sitting in front of her.

"It's nothing..."

Xia Yan's voice was not as energetic as usual. Although she did not sound weak, there was a noticeable strangeness to it compared to her usual self.

"Ok?"

Yu Zhi tilted her head and looked at her, asking, "Why does Senior Xia Yan seem so listless? Are you sick?"

"No, I'm perfectly fine."

Xia Yan pressed her heels on the seat, her thighs and calves folded together, her legs tightly pressed together, as if she were curled up, and looked out the window with her head turned to the side, speaking softly.

"You should act like you're sitting in a car. It's too dangerous to sit like this." Duanmu Mo said as he drove, casually patting Xia Yan's thigh with the back of his hand.

"Ah ah--"

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan seemed startled by this casual movement, her body suddenly trembled, and she let out a gasp.

Then, she turned and glared at Duanmu Mo: "What are you doing? You scared me!"

Seeing Xia Yan suddenly become agitated, Shen Wuling blinked, a string of data flashing in her eyes.

Although Duanmu Mo didn't want Ling to hack into his phone to check his whereabouts, he wouldn't mind if it was just a search of the various cameras.

Therefore, through the Zero System's search, she saw Duanmu Mo's schedule for the day. Although she couldn't see the inside of the room through the walls, she could guess what he had done.

The fact that Xia Yan had two different expressions when she entered and when she left the room tells you what Duanmu Mo had been doing during those few hours.

Especially when she went out, the blush on her face wouldn't fade, and even though she had an angry expression, she had to hold Duanmu Mo's hand to move. When paying the bill, she huddled behind him.

"..."

Shen Wuling immediately understood what was happening and stopped talking.

Only Yuzhi was still there, worried:

"Mr. Duanmu, you didn't do anything to Senior Xia Yan, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan paused, then fell silent.

"It's good enough that she doesn't do anything to me." Duanmu Mo smiled. "I attended Xi Ri's fan club with her, but the fans there didn't seem to know anything about her."

"I see." Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi nodded in understanding and comforted her, "There's nothing we can do, Senior Xia Yan. After all, the fans don't know your real identity, so it's normal that they don't understand. Don't blame them."

"......snort."

Xia Yan gave a soft hum, clearly still dissatisfied, and even more angry.

—She has now come to know another side of Duanmu Mo. Although he has told her whereabouts, he has never said that the reason he was angry was related to the fan club.

Could this half-truth tactic have been used on her as well? Xia Yan suddenly thought of this question and glared at Duanmu Mo even more fiercely.

Duanmu Mo, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed anything and casually chatted, "Ling, how's school?"

"It's barely acceptable... but it's not very good," she said after a moment of silence.

"That's fine then. If you're not particularly averse to it, then let's continue," Duanmu Mo nodded and said.

"Huh?" Shen Wuling was stunned, her expression showing disbelief.

“This is your sister’s request,” Duanmu Mo shrugged and said.

"Ugh... really."

She sighed and said helplessly, "Then I can only find something to waste my time."

"Don't think of it as just a waste of time—but is there anything interesting to do at school?"

"No way, they're all incredibly boring." Shen Wuling pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, to kill some time, I drew a comic, and that's how I started earning an income."

"Oh? Not bad," Duanmu Mo praised, "You can also paint?"

"It's just assisted by the Zero System, nothing special." Shen Wuling shook her head.

"This is already considered cheating, isn't it?" Xia Yan's soft voice rang out, but she still didn't turn around.

"Oh, I thought you weren't going to say anything."

Before Shen Wuling could say anything, Duanmu Mo's voice rang out. He reached out and tapped her cheek, only to be slapped away by Xia Yan: "I'm still angry! Don't move!"

Seeing this, Duanmu Mo not only did not stop, but instead teasingly tapped her cheeks repeatedly.

"Alright, Mr. Duanmu, watch your car." Seeing this, Yu Zhi quickly stopped him, reminding him to focus, and also worried that Xia Yan would get angry again.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Mo stopped doing so, shrugged, and placed his hands on the steering wheel.

"Hmph..." As he withdrew his hand, he heard Xia Yan's voice, a soft moan that was hard to hear, but it carried a hint of reluctance.

"..."

Ignoring everything he said, Duanmu Mo continued driving home.

. . . . . .

—They arrived home without any problems. Shen Wuling quickly got out of the car, stretched comfortably, and left the parking garage. Yuzhi also got out of the car through another door, picked up her schoolbag, and went home.
