Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

Jiang Chen held the S-level awakening book that Wen Ruyan handed him.

But he didn't immediately pull his hand back, because he could clearly feel that Teacher Wen was using the skill book as cover to gently trace the name on his palm with her fingers, making it ticklish.

Jiang Chen didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that Teacher Wen was just teasing him lightly, after all, Teacher Wen had flirted with him quite a bit before...

But Jiang Chen quickly realized something was wrong!

Because he clearly felt that Teacher Wen was writing a single character in his hand!

Gan!

Teacher Wen quickly rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, then raised her right hand and made an "OK" gesture to her mouth.

Jiang Chen was furious, and couldn't help but recall the bewildered scene from his first time leveling up with Teacher Wen...

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, looking at Wen Ruyan's deliberately teasing expression, and he was about to be completely dumbfounded again...

Ms. Wen stopped there, withdrawing her hand and gracefully turning around in her high heels, swaying her hips as she walked towards her seat.

Sometimes, this kind of ambiguous provocation is the most captivating.

Ms. Wen, a woman who exudes both wifely and motherly qualities, is the most shrewd; no other girl can outmaneuver her.

If she wanted, she could easily charm Jiang Chen to the point of obsession with just a little bit of skill.

She has plenty of ways to get Jiang Chen to come to her every day, and she can even get Jiang Chen to willingly give her all the opportunities to cultivate the Holy Body in dual cultivation. It's just a matter of whether she accepts them or not.

Wa, the junior, finds this type of woman—both domineering and nagging—the most unbearable...

Of course, Aunt Wen, Abu... Teacher Wen Ruyan isn't that bad.

She has a very good personality; she not only cares for and cherishes the girls, but also gives everyone a real motherly feeling.

As a teacher and homeroom teacher, she chose to share Jiang Chen with the girls, simply because she wanted everyone to be able to return alive.

Jiang Chen watched Wen Ruyan walk back to her seat and swallowed hard.

Wen Ruyan covered her mouth and chuckled as she walked back to her seat.

She didn't need to turn around to guess Jiang Chen's expression, because she could feel the burning gaze he was giving her.

A woman's intuition is really accurate...

When Wen Ruyan saw Jiang Chen and Yun Qianqian being all lovey-dovey, she couldn't resist showing off her skills.

As it turned out... the operation was a complete success...

At least it aroused Jiang Chen...

And the girls hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet...

Jiang Chen calmed down, took the S-level talent awakening book in his hand, and glanced at the girls.

Who should I give this talent awakening book to?

Many of the girls were quite enthusiastic, and everyone wanted to contribute more to the team, so it was really difficult to choose.

Apart from the little devil Ye Xiaoqi, all the girls looked at Jiang Chen with expectant expressions.

They all hoped that the sports committee would select them, so that they could make a greater contribution to the team.

But if the sports committee chooses someone else, the girls won't complain at all.

They all trusted the Sports Commission's judgment and choice, and believed that as long as they worked hard, they would definitely awaken their talents.

Ye Xiaoqi was turning her head to look at the scenery outside the window, deliberately forcing herself not to look at the talent awakening book in Jiang Chen's hand.

Her little feet, clad in black stockings and leather shoes, couldn't even touch the ground; they could only dangle back and forth in front of the seat.

But as the little feet wobbled, one of the black lunchboxes, because the shoelaces weren't tied properly, fell to the ground with a 'thud,' leaving only the food wrapped in black stockings swaying about.

Ye Xiaoqi couldn't resist and secretly glanced at the talent awakening book in Jiang Chen's hand.

In that one glance, her cat ears seemed to stand up even higher, and she swallowed softly.

Qin Hongkou clearly saw through Ye Xiaoqi's little scheme. She gently stroked Ye Xiaoqi's cat ears and said with a smile:

"Xiaoqi, do you want it?"

"Anyway, it doesn't matter who I give it to. I can talk to Xiao Chen, and he still has to give me face."

Ye Xiaoqi turned her head to look out the window again, this time with her hands on her hips, puffing out her small chest, and pouting.

Qin Hongkou suddenly noticed that the little girl's cute, chubby little belly seemed more prominent than her chest...

The toughest thing about Ye Xiaoqi is her little mouth:

"I don't want to accept Jiang Chen's charity!"

"It's just a mere S-rank talent awakening book, I don't care about it at all!"

A single tuft of hair stuck out from beside her aunt, followed by her soft, white cheek.

Her feet, clad in white lace socks and little leather shoes, couldn't reach the ground either, so she could only sway back and forth in front of the seat, just like Ye Xiaoqi.

The two short legs, one on the left and one on the right, swayed at roughly the same rhythm.

Extremely cute, and also very likely to be electrified...

The white, tufted hair curled into a question mark.

She blinked her big, round eyes, looking at Ye Xiaoqi with a puzzled expression, then stole a glance at the book on talent awakening.

Bai Nuonuo asked bluntly:

"Ke Xiaoqi, if you don't like it, why do you keep looking at the book in Jiang Chen's hand?"

Upon hearing Bai Nuonuo's revelation, Ye Xiaoqi froze instantly. Her soft, doll-like face flushed shyly, even her cat ears twitched, and she stammered.

"I...I'm angry! Yes! Angry!"

"I'm angry that Jiang Chen is taking so long to choose a talent book! He's such a scatterbrain! Idiot! Pervert!"

Ye Xiaoqi seemed to have found a good reason to mock Jiang Chen. She immediately became interested, spread her short fingers to cover her mouth, and happily let out the unique laughter of a little devil:

"Oh my gosh~!"

She smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth, looking both cute and fierce.

Jiang Chen had already noticed Ye Xiaoqi and heard her so-called mockery of him.

In Jiang Chen's view, was Ye Xiaoqi's behavior considered mockery? Was this really not a reward for him?

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly. Now that's someone in mind.

Let's give this S-level talent awakening book to Ye Xiaoqi.

Jiang Chen wanted to see how Ye Xiaoqi, who often mocked him, would react.

In any case, her taunts had no effect on Jiang Chen; in fact, they even felt somewhat satisfying...

When Qin Hongkou saw Xiao Chen walking towards her and looking at Ye Xiaoqi, she knew there was going to be a good show.

After spending time with Ye Xiaoqi, Qin Hongkou realized that the girl wasn't a bad person at heart, and that her mockery of Xiao Chen was just a way to get his attention.

There was nothing Ye Xiaoqi could do; she knew she couldn't compare to Teacher Wen in terms of figure, nor to her childhood sweetheart and class monitor in terms of affection, and certainly not to the gentle and lovely Bai Nuonuo in terms of personality.

She couldn't compete with anyone else, except for her mouth. All she could do was use words to provoke Jiang Chen and get him to pay attention to her.

At the same time, she also wanted to use what she considered to be malicious language to test whether Jiang Chen would also leave and abandon her.

Ye Xiaoqi had a difficult childhood.

My father spent his days drinking or gambling, which led to him accumulating a mountain of debt, and debt collectors kept coming to our door to cause trouble.

The father and mother argued back and forth, and even came to blows.

Ye Xiaoqi grew up amidst arguments.

Until one day, when the father couldn't pay his gambling debts, he actually pawned the mother to pay them off...

My mother couldn't stand this kind of life. Not only were debt collectors coming to our door to cause trouble every day, but now she also had to use herself to pay off gambling debts.

So, the mother left Ye Xiaoqi behind.

Not long after, to escape debt collectors, her father ruthlessly abandoned Ye Xiaoqi and ran away...

If it weren't for her grandparents' adoption, Ye Xiaoqi might have ended up on a completely different path.

Ye Xiaoqi is also very sensible. In order to repay her grandparents, she studies hard.

Because she was short, and because of her gambling father and her mother who ran away from home, she was bullied and isolated by her classmates, but she still studied hard.

Finally, Ye Xiaoqi received her Tsinghua and Peking University admission notices from the town.

That day, Ye Xiaoqi happily rode a motorcycle taxi back to her grandparents' house. She looked at her acceptance letter in the back seat of the motorcycle taxi, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

What she was thinking at the time was that this acceptance letter would make her grandparents happy for a long time.

But when she returned to her grandparents' house, her grandmother suddenly left, and Ye Xiaoqi felt abandoned once again.

Grandpa was already in poor health, and the heartache he suffered from further illness caused him to abandon Ye Xiaoqi not long afterward.

From that moment on, Ye Xiaoqi was terrified of being abandoned again.

Ye Xiaoqi was able to attend school and meet Jiang Chen thanks to the "three exemptions" policy, scholarships, and work-study programs offered by Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

When Ye Xiaoqi realized that she had really fallen in love with Jiang Chen, she used various sarcastic methods to see if Jiang Chen would abandon her like others, and at the same time, she wanted to get Jiang Chen's attention.

Jiang Chen would always smile and pat her head, completely ignoring Ye Xiaoqi's mockery. He was even very kind to her and cared about her a lot.

This made Ye Xiaoqi feel increasingly safe, and her affection for Jiang Chen grew stronger.

Although she didn't say anything, she knew in her heart that she seemed to have really found an older brother who wouldn't abandon her.
